Need help installing Flash Player in Mac OSX 10.9.2

I`ve tried everything, my computer is brand new, and it`s driving me crazy.  Tried installing, uninstalling, everything.  Was able to install a previous version by dragging the .pkg file to the desktop, but when i try to use safari, it disables the program because of security incompatibility.  Please if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it, let me know.  Exactly at 50% progress, it crashes and a message to close safari appears, but safari is already closed.

Finally Got it!!!  Ok, here is what i did: it was a combination of two things i read in different forums.
1st: Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy and in the "allow apps downloaded from: " section, select "Anywhere".   There is a file in the installation bundle from adobe that is not recognized as coming from an "identified developer".   I then went back to the adobe page and re downloaded most recent flash player.  Tried to reinstall it, and again the same problem as before.  Stopped at 50% asking to close Safari.  So i did the following:
2nd: This time instead of closing Safari by pressing the red button X, I pulled down the safari tab and clicked on exit safari command.  Clicked the retry button on the installation window and magic!!!! it worked.  
Finally after 5 frustrating hours it worked....  I never thought i would run in to such a problem with a brand new Mac....  with the money i paid for it, would expect much easier performance in the upgrading process.... and compatibility with adobe.... an issue that should have been resolved long ago.  I guess its a problem on both sides....  some clearer instructions for upgrade would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • Need help installing Flash Player 9

    I am trying to install Flash Player 9 on my Mac G5 OS10.3.9 I
    had it installed previously but son clicked on some sort of
    download while online and now it's not working. Yesterday it worked
    fine.I downloaded the FlasPlayer install and ran it but it always
    stops at "Items remaining to be installed -4" and just keeps
    running. I even left it go overnight to see if it finished, which
    it didn't. Please help me figure out why the remaining 4 items will
    not install. I usually use Safari 1.3.2 as my browser but I also
    have Internet Explorer 5.2.3 loaded on my computer.

    I have exactly the same problem on my G4 laptop running
    10.4.8. I hate Adobe. There isn't even a means of contacting them
    to register the problem. Apparently nobody there wants to hear from
    us.

  • Need help installing Flash Player

    After following the Adobe trouble shooting procedures, I'm still unable to install Flash Player.  Can anyone help?  OS is Vista Home Premium.

    Thanks for your email.  I'm using Internet Explorer 8 and didn't get any error messages; however I believe the installation was unsuccessful because  I didn't see the movie used to confirm a successful installation. 
    I understand a pop-up blocker might be inhibiting the movie (TechNote tn_19091); however I still believe installation was unsuccessful because when browsing websites requiring Flash I'm prompted to install it.  (Fixing the potential pop up blocker problem requires messing with the Registry - something I'd rather not do - and doing so wouldn't fix my installation problem.)
    I followed all of the steps in Adobe "Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation for Windows" TechNote (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#installwindowsvista) with no success.
    I then contacted Adobe Tech Support with no luck and their Tech Rep referred me to this forum.
    Some background:  I uninstalled Flash last year because I believed it was the cause of frequent IE freeze ups, and then reinstalled it earlier this year with no problems until it suddenly stopped working several weeks or so ago.  I can see the FlashUtil10 application version 10.0.45.2 in the Flash folder.
    I Restored Windows to an earlier configuration - no luck - will try again as well as going thru the above trouble shooting procedures in the event I messed up.

  • Request for help installing Flash Player on Mac

    It's clear that my computer doesn't have the latest version of Flash Player. When I try to download the latest version, I see the file downloading completely in my "downloads" window. But as soon as the downloading is done, the file disappears and I don't get a pop-up box or anything, even when I disable my pop-up blocker. Any suggestions for how to overcome this problem?

  • Need help installing flash player with firefox on vista

    I have tried continually to update my flash player version but can't get past step 3. I uninstalled all past versions thinking this would help with the problem but now I can't do anything. This is driving me crazy. help!!!!!!

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking  the following link.  Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the file - do not run it yet.
    Reboot. Then run the installer before opening any apps.
