I can not download flash player on my Mac

I have a Mac with OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1. Since some time I am not able to upgrade or download flash player on my Mac (latest version 15.0.0.152). from the Adobe download center. Every time I try Safari gets stuck at step 2 of 3 (initialization) and keeps refreshing the page. To start fresh, I tried to uninstall flash player by downloading the uninstall .dmg offered at the flash player help page on the adobe website - even that one I can't download; if I click on it, it only refreshes the page and nothing else happens. So I uninstalled it "by hand", but I am not sure that I removed absolutely everything... Not sure if that matters. Apparently a plugin called SpeedTao is used by the Adobe website. Could there be a problem with that? I can not do anything to enable / disable / reset etc SpeedTao; Internet plugins are allowed and I have allowed adobe to use SpeedTao when it asks me for it.
I saw that someone else posted a similar question, but it remained unanswered; I could not find an answer...

Hi leronica,
The Flash Player download page does not use the SpeedTao Download Manager.  This must've been installed on your system at some other time.  If you suspect SpeedTao is interfering with the Flash Player installation, and don't require SpeedTao on your system, you can remove it using a utility such as AppCleaner, or delete 'all' SpeedTao files (/Applications/SpeedTao.app, ~/Library/Preferences/net.speedtao.mas.SpeedTao.plist, ~/Library/Application Support/SpeedTao).  Removing just SpeedTao.app from /Applications doesn't completely remove it and Safari will still list it in the Plug-ins (I verified this before posting my response).  If you require, or don't want to remove, SpeedTao, you can try using the full installer, posted at the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac.

  • Can not download flash player  10

    Everytime i try to download Flash Player 10 on my computer a
    pop-up says It can't authenticate(mind my spelling) installer. I
    have no idea why it is doing this. if anyone can help please
    help

    Hi LeeEnix-
    Why so many downloads? Couldn't get FP to work? IE and
    Firefox (non-IE browsers) have different methods of
    downloading/installing. I'm guessing you're XP or Vista. System
    Restore should've given you back your previous (and hopefully
    working) FP.
    BUT, you need to uninstall before reinstalling, or it kinda
    jams up on ya.
    Flash uninstall Tool:

    AV progs and IE security can both block the installation.
    Check IE/Tools/Internet Options/Security. Reset your zones to the
    default levels.

  • I can't download flash player on my MacBook!!

An icon is added to my home screen but no matter what I do i can't get it to install like it says it should! Help please!!

Not sure if you are following what i mean so second picture is what help page says to do and i cannot get to step 2.

    To elaborate on what Bernd said, Flash has never been available for iOS. Furthermore, Adobe no longer distributes Flash on any current Android device either.

    You can't.
    Android (Google) dropped all support for Flash last summer. The reason is the same one Apple gave seven years ago when they released iOS: Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it kills batteries... as well as shortening the battery life in mobile devices.
    Android recommends using either "Dolphin" or Puffin" as your browser (BOTH are free in the GooglePlay store). They use "server side rendering" of Flash content to reduce the load on your Android device.

  • I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums
    You may download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player from here : Flash Player
    Once download is finished, close all the browser windows and then double click on the file to launch Adobe Flash Player installation.
    Thanks,

  • I can not download my apps from my mac to my iphone 4s since it had the newest update in 2013

    I can not download my apps from my Mac since I have updated my iphone 4s to your new version in 2013 my vesion of my mac is 10.6.8 please help!!
    thanks

    Your reply is not very easy to read due to the lack of punctuation.
    You have the left-hand sidebar enabled (option-command-S on a Mac), and you've connected and selected the phone on that sidebar and are using the Apps tab on the right-hand side of the screen to select which apps to install e.g. from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    And clicking 'install' next to the apps that you want to install and then 'apply' at the bottom right of the screen doesn't install them onto your phone ?

  • Why can I not download flash player on my apple iPad Air

    I need flash player to do some work on my iPad Air  but can not download it is there a way I can get it for the iPad Air

    Historically:
    2008 (March) - Apple® released the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs was insistent and adamant that iOS® was NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning was that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
