Adobe Flash download fails?

??? I have Mac Book OSX and am suddenly unable to download and activate the Adobe Flash program update??
The download appears on desktop and yet is not functional. It is simply a box, if I click on box nothing happens , if I look for download file (where) I see zero in the Finder??
Help?

Trash what you have already downloaded. Repair permissions and restart your computer. Once you reach the desktop, uninstall all previous versions of flash player - Flash Player Uninstaller. Afterwards, download and install Adobe Flash Player Software. Again, repair permissions and restart your computer when done.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#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/

I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

Adobe Flash download stops working after I press run. It worked fine with Explorer before I went to Forefox

error message reads " adobe flash download has stopped working. Windows will notify you if there is a fix" or something like that. I have tried to download about 10 times over 3 days. I need help. I transferred over to Firefox just this week from IE. I had no problems with Adobe with that program. But I cannot download it onto Firefox. Very frustrating. I have Windows Vista on this laptop.

Please provide a crash id for the flash crash -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
What version of flash player do you have installed? http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Captivate5 Autorun opens Adobe Flash download page

I have developed an education package on Captivate5.
After publishing and choosing the settings "autorun CD & HTML", I cannot play the CD on my own computer.
When inserted into my computer, I briefly see the title of the education on the browser tab, then the Adobe Flash download page appears. I cannot access my presentation and I already have Flash installed. My publish settings are set to Adobe Flash 9, and I am being prompted to download 10.3.
The autorun works fine on 2 of my colleagues computers.
Any suggestions? Is this likely to occur for any of our users?

Have you checked whether or not the publish location has been added to your own PC's Flash Global Security as a trusted location?
Your issue might also be security related.

Adobe Flash Player failed to initalize error

Hello there - I'm so hoping someone can help me out. I am trying to download Adobe flash player and get an error message - "failed to initialize". I've tried deleting my old file and still no luck. I also tried to save it and then go to windows explorer to run the program but can't find it, even when I do a search. The funny thing is when I go into unintall programs, there's an incon for it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me out? I would really love to watch videos on youtube. :-) I'm running windows vista and using windows explorer 9. Thanks so much! JodiJ.

Came across this problem a few times...
Did you try deleting the actual files from the install directory manually? I think they are located in c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Also came across this... maybe helpful...
I don't know what web browsers you use, so my instructions are for both browser types (Internet Explorer, and other browsers like Firefox).
go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580
download the installer for Internet Explorer and save it to disk;
if you use other browsers, then also download the other installer and save it to disk;
close all browser windows, then use Windows Explorer to run the installers you downloaded (install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe and possibly install_flash_player_10.exe).
If you still get errors
please give the exact error message you are getting
list (copy & paste) the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

Cannot upgrade adobe flash player (failed to initialize), shockwave flash does not appear as a plug in

various web sites stated that I needed to update adobe flash player. I clicked on link and followed instructions, then received the message "installation encountered errors - failed to initialize". So far, I have uninstalled previous versions of flash player and checked my plug ins. Noticed that Shockwave flash does not appear in my plug in list and adobe states that this needs to be active for their flash player.
I am on Windows XP and Firefox version 8.
Thanks.

Adobe Flash Download from Internet

I can't view any videos on my MacBook Pro without Adobe Flash and it is not available through Apple App Store. I do a lot of banking on my computer and I've read that Adobe Flash has a lot of problems. I'm concerned it might affect the security of my computer. Am I the only one concerned about this?

The only site you should download Flash from is the Adobe site otherwise you may subject your Mac to malware.
Flash is not available from the App Store anyway.. it's written by Adobe. It's not an app, it's a plugin. Big difference.
If you are having problems with Flash streamed content, do the following:
Assuming you are using Safari for video, quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first even if it's the most recent version.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Adobe Flash download blocked on Macbook Pro

Macbook Pro Retina 15" running OSX 10.95. Adobe Flash gets to the install point and is blocked because Flash wasn't downloaded from the App Store. I've opened Safari>Preferences>Security>Manage Website preferences; I can't see anything that will allow or block Flash. "Allow plugins" is already clicked. Right now no versions of Flash are installed.

    System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
    Press the "Delete All" button.
    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.

Adobe Flash download website is hosed?

For some reason, my Flash update checker doesn't always work reliably or in a timely manner, so I regularly check for new versions of Flash by going into Control Panel > Flash Player > Advanced > Check Now. It said that 10.3.183.10 was available. I had 10.3.183.7.
Ok, so I go into control panel and uninstall both the Active X and the plug-in and go to www.adobe.com, scroll down to "Download", and click "Adobe Flash", just like I've done dozens of times before, to get the new version.
However, this time it is telling me that version 11.0.1.52 is available, and I get a "404 not found" when it tries to download.
The same thing happens when I try to get the plug-in for Firefox while in Firefox.
Now, I have no flash on this computer. I'm XP SP3.
What's going on?
Thanks.

I cannot tell you what's going on; my guess is that this is a little coordination problem due to the fact that Flash Player 11 is about to be released.
As for now, I was successfully able to download Flash Player 11.0.1.152 from the standard download page. I haven't tried to install it yet; I am waiting for all official download sites (at Adobe.com) to show version 11.0.1.152.
For now I suggest that you download version 10.3.183.10 from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580
I will keep an eye on the situation, and publish update information when it becomes available. I will also try to alert some people from the Adobe Flash Player team.

Adobe flash download help ???

Hello. I repeatedly successfully ??? download adobe flash player only to repeatedly have a box pop up when I attempt to listen or access something online saying "Opps, you need to download the latest adobe flash player to access this" HELP... how can I make the download work or what else can I use to listen to or access programs online?

I would reset the browser. If it is IE, go to tools, internet options, then choose the last tab called advanced. Then click the "Reset" button. Close out the browser, then re-open it and try to watch a youtube video. If that works, then you are all set!
