I have a brand new Macbook Air with latest Mountain Lion but can't install Adobe Flash Player it continually times out?

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?

OK...I have tried to download from:
get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
It tells me that the Adobe Flash Player is version 11.5.502.146
Intel based Macs
Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
The screen then changes to say:
Thankyou your download will commence immediately...
Then I get a nes screen with message:
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
Reference #2.c29aef50.1359298991.0
I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and
selecting
Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
Flash Player 11 for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
The same thing then happens...Thank you. Your download will start immediately...then about 20 secs later
Request Timeout.
Reference #2.c29aef50.1359299497.0
That's as much as I know...

HT2499 I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

Hi..
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Correct.
You cannot load Flash on your iPhone.

How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch, 4gb RAM and 256 gb SSD where the screen flickered abnormally and got dead all of a sudden while uploading a photograph in FB. Can anybody help?

I have a new MacBook Air 11 inch, 4gb RAM, 256 SSD and use Mavericks OS. It is still under waranty period.
Just few days ago while I was uploading a photograph in facebook, the screen started flickering abnoromally. I tried using the escape button but nothing was working so switched off by pressing the power button.
After few minutes I tried to switch it on but my system never waked up. Called up the Apple Support, did SMC and PRAM but nothing worked. Then I was advised to take it to Apple's authorised service centre.
At the service centre the engineers diagnoised and then said that the MLB/mother board needs to be replaced. Had waited for six-long days and today they had replaced the MLB/mother board. Now, the system came to life but nothing has booted. The screen goes white and a '?' question mark icon keeps on flickering.
After thoroughly diagnoising it the engineer said that now the problem is with the SSD and the worse thing is all my important documents and photographs etc are no more there. And I don't have a backup of the same!
While Apple Support contact centre is assuring they would replace any other parts if found faulty, but I feel differently. First, the MLB/mother board was changed now they say it is SSD problem - so if the SSD too is replaced there are possibilities of more faults coming up. All I can see and feel that this particular machine has turned out to be architectually deffective that calls for immediate replacement.
Right now I am using a friend's windows pc to write this mail.
Feeling completely miserable - all my expectatations gone after investing in such an expensive machine, loss of all my data, wastage of time and energy and to top it all affecting my daily work.
Can anybody please advise what shall I do?

Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

My brand new Mac ProBook keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player

My brand new Mac ProBook (OSX Mavericks 10.9.4) keeps asking for an admin password to download Adobe Flash Player and also when I try to set up adding my printer. The problem is that when I initially set up this new laptop--I opted to not have any password upon login. So what is my admin password that it keeps requesting??--that "I" did not create??

I have heard that Adobe Flash Player and Apple OS & iOS do NOT care much for each other.
Now half of Youtube videos would NOT play and many websites would NOT show on my Mac computer.
This is absolutely rediculous!
Because of the unfair monopoly, I have switched from Microsoft Windows PC to Apple Mac system a few years ago.
Is it a MUST and worthy for corporations to compete each other by screwing up customers like this?
What a shame!
Big things have small beginnings and so do big failures!
I think I will delay the idea of buying any more OS or iOS products until I can easily watch all the Youtube videos and browse all the websites!

NO smartphone from ANY manufacturer, is compatible with Flash... at all

'07 macbook pro with Lion. I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help. I'm a novice and stuck. Help.

Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update. Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player. Any ideas, suggestion? Please help.

Feel sooo dumb. Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link. At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install. This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila! Thanks for your help. I'm back in business.

I have iMac (Mavericks). I could no longer view CNN video clips after installing Adobe Flash Player update

Other users and guest account could still view the CNN clips but I can view the Ads and then just a black screen? Any suggestions ?

I uninstalled version 13 and installed the version 12 as they suggested. Did not work.
On my computer now I have three accounts.
1. Mine - Flash Player version 13 originally worked but after updating (as was suggested by onscreen prompt) it did not work with Safari. Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Playaer version 12 also did not work.
2. Second computer user can still see CNN video clips in Safari. 'This user did NOT install the update to version 13.
3. Guest accoount still can see CNN video clips in Safari.
Any suggestions how to get back to the original configuration on my account. Unfortunately, I did not know about Time Machine and did not have it set up (have subsequently tried to set it up but cannot seem to be able to select a backup disk).
Any suggestions appreciated.

I have numerous documents in PAGES2009 which I cannot open on my new Macbook Air with latest iWork programs. Is there a "fix" or do I need to buy iWork 2009 (or at least PAGES2009) to be able to open my old documents?

Can current PAGES be used to open documents created in PAGES2009?

Yes with some caveats, but probably your documents are actually Pages '08 format which Pages 5.2 can not open.
You need to open them in Pages '09 or export them from Pages '08 to Word .doc/docx.
If you had iWork '09 before are you sure you don't still have it in your Applications/iWork folder?
You are aware that Pages 5.2 is a lobotomised version, missing over 110 features?
