Mac shockwave installation says successful but there's no shockwave folder and adobe site says not installed

Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, mid-2014)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
3 GHz i7
64-bit* (based on table found in archived Apple support article that appears as first link in google search)
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 | Activity monitor says "Used: 9.58 GB (apps: 6, file cache: 2, wired: 1)"
78 GB remaining of 120 GB flash storage
One hard disk, no external
2 admin user accounts and guest account, second admin logged out
*Sorry for saying stuff you already know. I just don't know what you don't and want to be complete.
I arrive at adobe shockwave page, which correctly detects Mac computer, chrome browser.  (Did that about 4 or 5 times)
I click download. (After first failed attempt, I'd start by ejecting install disk thing and put previous dmg file in trash)
DMG file arrives in download folder.
I open it.
I double click on the first of the two files: Shockwave_Installer_Full_64bit (other file is uninstall | Is yosemite operating system actually 32 bit??)
I close my browsers.
I click the "Next" buttons and agree to the thing
I type my administrator password for this administrator account
I manually choose Macintosh HD for the install location (1 time)
I go with the default option and verify that all users will have access (2 times)
I go with the default option for install location (rest of times)
It tells me what it's doing while progress bar fills and empties and repeats. Says stuff like "Moving files" "Working directory" or something, as it should.
My mac makes the install noise.
The install window says ~"Adobe Shockwave Player installed successfully"
I restart (only on one or two attempt(s))
I reopen browser, which reopens last pages
One of those pages is the chrome://plugins that an Adobe troubleshooting page told me to check.
I refresh it. There's no shockwave player. There is adobe flash player and it says "(2 files)" and version 16...
I go to the adobe page where I can click "Check now" to see whether my computer has shockwave.
Page confirms I do not have it by saying: "Sorry, Shockwave Player is either not installed or disabled on your machine."
Per some Adobe troubleshooting instructions, I prepare to repeat the process by searching for folder to delete it so that I can properly reinstall it (3 times)
There is no folder when I use finder to search "This Mac" or "All my Files"
I come to forum. I guess I will now try the really involved stuff about disabling login items and installing via a new user. I came here before trying it because the page said that those are ways to work around problems that may cause the installation to fail. But the installation window said it was successful. Did it go to the cloud?????? Did my computer auto-scrub for some reason unrelated to anything I did deliberately??
UPDATE: Tried the shift-key-during-restart-and-using-new-user but it didn't seem to make a difference.
UPDATE: I did, however, during that process, find that when I use that page in Safari to check installation, it says the latest version is installed. So maybe my question just got a lot simpler. Is this a Chrome problem beyond my own system and I just have to wait for Google to sort it out? Is Chrome somehow incompatible with Shockwave? According to a website I've been trying to use (via chrome) to complete class homework, I am missing shockwave and need it.

Ok, I'm stupid.
Found another thread about this and typing 'install OS X Lion' in spotlight did the job.

    I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success. Please help!

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad

    My mac mini wont turn on but there is power to it as the usb port charges my iPad. My monitor uses a HDMI cable when the mac mini is off it says no input received which it does not say so it is receiving some signal from the mac mini. I have tried a different cable and a different monitor/ hdmi cable. The fan isnt running there is no start up noise but the little light on the front blinks every 4-5 seconds. Im booked in to see a GENIUS on sunday but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the mean time. The mac mini is only 8 months old if that. Any ideas people? Oh the mac is also running mountain lion and has been since the day of release i've never had a problem up until this.

    The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:

    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2), After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2)

    After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2).

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    The e-mail address I have tested it for several times and there is no problem.
    Anyone has any clue about this error?

    Hi.
    This I have seen before...
    It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
    It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
    It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
    If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:

    Check that and try again.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.
