When I try to download Adobe Flash Player, it says I need to quit out of Safari even when it's closed. How do I fix this?

Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

    When i try to download additional garageband sounds, it states that I am not connected to the internet but I am. How can I fix this?
    I have a new Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3 and the latest Garageband that came installed.

    However, I can't see any of the new sounds in garageband??
    Have you restarted your computer after installing the additional content?
    How many drummers do you see, when you select a patch for a Drummer Track?
    If the inapt purchase has been installed, you should now be seeing 18 drum patches and not only SoCal:
    Also, if you open the "Lesson Store" view, there should be now several free basic guitar and piano lessons available for download.

  • When I try to download Adobe Flash Player it keeps failing to initialize. Help please

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have the Plugin version installed for Firefox.'''''
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    ''NOTE: A new version of Adobe Flash was released today, 08-09-2011 (both Plugin and ActiveX)''

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

    when i try to down load flash player it says it can't create a temp folder. What do I do now?

    What is your OS and version?
    What is your browser and version?
    Download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    Close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller
    Try the installation again from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    When I try sharing to my apple devices from my final cut pro x, I keep getting a "Quicktime Error:-50". How can I fix this?

    You can search the entire internet by putting that error message into google, see what other discussions appear.
    With only the little information you've provided, I'd trash Compressor and download it again from the App Store.
    You could share the timeline out to MPEG2 and then import that into iDVD, if you have it, or Toast.
    Given an hour or three, someone with better suggestions will soon chime in.

  • When i try to download latest flash player i am redirected to adobe home page.

    I am in a circle. I got message to update flash, yet when I click "download" i am automaticlly redirected back to adobe home page.  I removed flash player and tried to downoad again but still get into this merry-go-round of home page-download page (Adobe.ca)
    any ideas why?

    This is happening a lot lately. With OS X Mavericks and Windows 8.1
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player (Mac OS X)

  • Error Message When try to Download Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34

    I'm trying to download the Adobe Flash Player Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34.  Using Explorer 9 and I have a 32bit operating system.  At about 80% complete, I get the following error message: " The download did not pass the integrity check (162103.304.450)." Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi, that message is due to the Download Manager(DLM). It's best not to use it. Use the link the poster provided and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then close all browser windows, disable any instant messenger services from your system tray. It may be better to download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop first. Then run it, reboot and then run the Installer and reboot.
    If you have any realtime Anti-Virus running, you may want to disable it until you are finished.
    Uninstaller:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Use the EXE Installer for Windows and Internet Explorer.
    That should work better for you,

    I would recommend utilizing the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation log and attempt to locate a solution.  The summary you posted is not always complete so a look at the actual log itself would be beneficial.
    If you would like to review the installation log file yourself then Troubleshoot CS5 and CS5.5 installation with install logs - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/844/cpsid_84451.html provides guidence on how this can be accomplished.

  • Adobe Flash Player saves large numbers of empty "fap" files to my Firefox and Temp folders. How can I prevent this?

    Whenever I go to pages where the Adobe Flash Player "plugin-container.exe" runs "FlashPlayerPlugin_xx_x_xxx_xx.exe" (x's being version number), it causes hundreds of empty "fap" files to save to my Firefox and C:\Windows\Temp folders. How can I prevent this?
    Thanks!

    Hey, that's great! Thanks for posting back that disabling protected mode in Flash solved the problem.
