Issue Downloading Adobe Flash Player

Operating system version - Mac OSX Version 10.9.5
Web browser and version - Safari Version 7.1
I do not have any version of the Adobe Flash Player currently installed on my computer.
When I try to download the flash player, the file goes to my downloads.  When I click on the download, it will only open the file using MatLab.  What can I do to fix this issue so the file will go to its downloader?

I fixed the problem using Google Chrome to download the file instead of Safari.

  • Issues Downloading Adobe Flash Player

    I have a brand new Macbook Air laptop. (OS X Version 10.9.3) I need to install Adobe Flash Player, however every time I try to download it stops at 97%, saying that I must quit Safari in order to continue and finish the download. I have made sure countless times that Safari is not open and that no other document is as well, but it still does not work. I have deleted the installer and re-uploaded it again. I have restarted my computer. Nothing has worked and it is insanely frustrating. If anyone knows how to fix this problem or has a few things that I could try, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    1.  Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
       Download it first.
       The next step is important.
       Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
        Follow the prompts and install it.
        Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
    2.  Allow  Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
        Enable it.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

  • HT3810 For some reason I can not download adobe flash player to wach movie.web. That I trying to wach is :balkenyum

    Hello To whom may concern,i try download adobe flash player to be able to wach music and show on :balkenyum web.but I can not down load this player. Can you hel p me wit that thanks

    If you have an iOS device as is indicated by the iPhone listed in your footer, then there is no Adobe Flash Player available for iOS. 
    You cannot watch Adobe Flash movies from an iOS device.
    If this is not an iOS device and you do have a Mac...
    More specifically, do not download the Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS X from any web site other than the Adobe web site, and then only when you have specifically entered the Adoble site into your web browse, 
    If you are offered a download of Adobe products from any web sitesite - whether via a link at the site, or via a mail message or otherwise - do not allow the download.
    Above and beyond the various security issues with the actual Adobe Flash Player, downloading "Flash Players" from other sites is how you compromise your system.
    And make sure you keep your Adobe Flash Player current once you've installed it, as there have been security issues with that client.

  • I downloaded adobe flash player 11.4 r402, my cpu overheats all the time now.

    I am running winodows vista with firefox 17.0.1 and I downloaded adobe flash player 11.4 r402. Whenever flash is used on a page or I use realplayer my cpu starts to overheat. this player is constantly using too much of my cpu and I have to end process the player.  is there a fix for this or an update?  I have tried to downgrade my flash player but the older versions cannot play youtube and realplayer vids. 

    I just downloaded  version 11.7.700.202  now and tried a Youtube vid and that version is using 44 - 55 % of my cpu for the vid.   I never had this issue before updating to 11.4 and i have been having it ever since.

  • Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

    Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
    WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
    Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
    Steps taken:
    Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
    Deleted provided directory in instructions
    "Copy and paste the following and click OK.
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash        
    Delete all the files in this folder."
    Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
    Re launched company website and received same error.
    Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser.  Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
    Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

    I'm sorry you're encountering this.  Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
    As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
    If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.
    Thanks,

  • I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Block Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
