Why can't I download the latest version of Flash player?

My system recently updated from Windows Explorer 9 to Windows Explorer 10. But I was encountering issues with trying to update to the latest version of Flash even prior to that. I keep getting the prompt that an update is available, but when I follow the steps, I get to Step 1, and click on the "Install now" button, and the screen changes to Step 2 but nothing else happens. For a moment it says "Initializing..." and then it says "If you encounter any issues downloading Adobe Flash Player, click here." But nothing else happens. If I click on the "Click here" button, it just tells me that when the File Download box appears I should click "Run" and when the User Account Control box appears I should click "Yes." But neither of these boxes ever appears! Very frustrating! (My current Adobe Flash version is 11.9.900.170 and my security program is Norton 360). Thanks.

Download and run these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why can I not download the latest version of Flash? Keeps asking me for my password but won't accept

Why can I not download the latest version of Flash? Keeps asking me for my password but won't accept even though I go through a reset process of a new passwork to ensure it is correct.

What kind of password? Can you post a screenshot of that prompt?
Also, what is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?

Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?

Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player? The install button is always gray.

Don't use the downloader/installer.
Use the FULL offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_12_osx.dmg
And DON'T run it either. When you mount the dmg
and it opens the window, right click the installer and "Show Package Contents"
Double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg and let it run the COCOA installer.

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 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. 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
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, 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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
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 7
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 8
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 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Why can't I download the latest version of flash?

Everytime I go to watch youtube, or use websites that require the flash player it tells me that I need Flash Player 11.3 or higher. I go to the website to download the latest flashplayer and it tells me to download 10.3 (which I already have). What's the deal?!
I'm running Leopard on a Macbook Pro.
I get the same messages in google chrome and firefox!

Perhaps this will help.

I downloaded the latest version of flash player, not working?

I just got my computer back from being fixed and I'm redownloading everything I need.
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 and i downloaded the latest version of flash player for it. It appears to be installed because there's a window opens up saying "Thank you, enjoy flash player." or something like that after I have downloaded the flash player.
I've tried several times and I STILL can't watch videos or do things that require flash player.
I went to my system preferences, clicked on Flash Player and went to the advanced bar, and it says "Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed."
However, when i go to this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
And I click the "Check Now" button to see if flash player has been installed onto my computer, it says:
"Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.
Please go to step 2."
And so I did and downloaded it AGAIN. I only saw the same thing after i reloaded the page and tried again.
I do not have an anti-virus program, so it can't be that.
Is the flash player enabled?
How do I check if it's enabled/enable it?

It's usually in your browser's Tools section.

For the past week, I am unable to view videos. The page comes up with this comment: "Blocked plug-in" and it suggests that I download the latest version of Flash player. I have downloaded that and still get the same comment. Please help.

I have an iMac11.2 and am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not had a problem viewing videos until the past week or so. Now I cannot view videos on my news, facebook or in email messages at all. A message pops up in the window that says "Blocked plug-in". I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player for which it asks and still no luck. Can anyone here help me with this? Thank you. Grace

Why can't I download the latest version of iTunes onto my computer?

My computer (Macbook Pro) won't let me download music to my iPhone 5 so I went to try and download the latest version of iTunes but it will not let me install it on my computer. Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

The most recent iTunes version (iTunes 12.0.1) requires OS X Lion or higher, so you have to upgrade OS X to a higher operating system like OS X Yosemite.
You can download OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store, and it will check if your Mac is compatible. Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible -> http://www.roaringapps.com

Download the latest version of flash player

i've tried to install the flash player plugin over firefox 15, but it is impossible. It doesn't matter if I make a manual installation or directly click on aditional plugins. when I reboot firefox, I keep receiving the message that i need to install flash player
I've also tried several things, such as reboot firefox without complements, check the NPSWF32_11.dll in Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash or editing the mms.cfg.
installing and uninstalling flash player.
worst thing of all is that flash is working fine in IE8 and chrome

Hi ideato,
I did what you said (including a reboot in XP safe mode for deleting the file), but when i restarted again (in normal mode this time), everything was like it was (asking always to install the flash player plugin, even after installing and get a "correct installation" from adobe)
thx for your help

HT1222 why can't i download the latest version of itunes 10.6.3?

i can't update my iTunes on my Imac even though everything else on my computer is updated. Any Idea why?

Difficult to say when you provide no details, not even the operating system running on your computer. Post back with more information, including what happens when you download and install the standalone updater (iTunes tab above) and someone will probably then be able to offer suggestions.
Regards.
