Adobe flash hangs on Safari install

Hi all,
Should I just be happy that Safari refuses to talk Flash, thus saving me from power sucking purgatory unless I want to launch Chrome? Probably.
Here's my setup:
Mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" now running a clean install of Yosemite, but I restored files from Time Machine, so some legacy preferences may at issue. Curiously, Chrome is happy running flash content, like on Pandora.com but Safari and Firefox claim it isn't installed. When I try to install flash, after double-clicking the installer launches, asks for my password, shows a pop-up with progress, and then the pop-up remains but goes black, doing nothing forevermore.
In Console, this error message pops up each time:
2/10/15 11:57:38.018 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.xpc.launchd.domain.pid.Install Adobe Flash Player.674) Could not resolve origin of domain. XPC services in this domain's bundle will not be bootstrapped: error = 109: Invalid property list, taint = (null)
Any thoughts? Talk about a fairly benign problem.

Flash is not an application and it doesn't install in the Applications folder. It's a web plugin and a preference pane. The sidebar icon represents the disk image on which Flash is distributed. After installing it, eject the disk image and delete the disk image file (DMG) from your Downloads folder.

Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

Hello!
I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files. That's what happened here. Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

Adobe Flash Player says not installed when it is.

Adobe Flash Player shows as installed on the primary Admin account (and works there) all other Admin and regular user accounts say it isn't installed.
I have tried installing as various users and Administrator status, but I get the same response.
"Install Successful"
"Adobe Flash Player not Installed"
I am new to MAC, but can't fathom how this could be Apples fault. Unfortunately, Adobe support requires Adobe Flash Player to access help content.

To find the folder I went to Finder > Library > Internet Plug-ins.
The folder is empty and says 0 files. I am not currently on an Admin log-in, but I'm used to files showing regardless. When installing, I am asked for the Admin account and log in info before the file will load.
I downloaded the latest flash player from Adobe this morning.
Virtual Drive: What I am used to being an installation file in Windows shows up as a disk drive icon on my desktop. I have to "eject disk" to get rid of it. I thought it was just a "MAC" thing. Other software loaded this way, but also had me drag an icon to the Applications folder. Adobe does not.
I am starting to wonder if there is a file sharing issue that isn't allowing me to see some software. I noticed I also do not see data in 'Public' when I know I added pictures there in another account. I can't remember changing any settings on my MBA. I have only had it a month and have been afraid of messing up my first MAC.
Thanks for staying with this.

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

Adobe Flash Not Useable After Install

I have Windows 7 Home Premium and IE 11. Have been using Jackie Lawson greeting card app for years. Recently, when I try to access a greeting card within this app, it tells me that I need to install Adobe Flash. After I reinstall Adobe Flash, the same thing happens. I have tried installing Adobe Flash many times including with IE not running and with another app that uses Adobe Flash terminated during the install. I have also uninstalled Adobe Flash prior to beginning the process, but nothing seems to work. Here is the last entry from FlashInstall.log:

Please avoid creating more than one thread for the same issue. It doesn't get your problem answered quicker, but it can lead to confusion as folks post to two different, yet identical, threads.

HT3810 adobe flash player won't install on safari 10.6.8

I have uninstalled adobe, cleared the downloads in finder, reinstalled adobe, and cleared the cache, cookies in safari.
Adobe won't run in Firefox either.
Correction: I can install adobe flash player on both safari and firefox, but when I try to play a youtube video, I get a message saying I have to install adobe flash player. I don't know what else to do.
Lastly, some forms won't open when I click on them. I get a dark grey page.

Mac - Unable to install Adobe Flash Player after Safari update

After the latest Safari update (version 8.0.2) for Mac, I received a message that Flash Player was out of date. I downloaded the latest Flash DMG file and when updating it stalls at 32%. Running the latest update for Yosemite.
I've uninstalled all of Flash player and all files and folders related to Adobe Flash from the computer. I've turned off my anti-virus and firewall. It continues to stall at 32%. I've re-downloaded the flash update and continue to have the problem.
Any suggestions?
Mike

Won't load adobe flash player say safari is open

Am trying to install adobe flash player on my new machine, but when installing it hangs and tells me to that safari is open - which, as far as I can tell, it isn't. Any help out there?

Neither Safari, or the System Preferences panel can be open when installing Adobe Flash. After initial installation, a new Flash Player panel is added to System Preferences, where you can check for Flash updates on the Flash Player panel advanced tab. On that tab, there are three choices for Updates. Mine is set to Notify.
When you click the Check Now button, and a newer version is available, there are two possible outcomes. Adobe will pop a dialog that allows you to start the download process. When you see this, exit System Preferences. Sometimes, Adobe will direct you to their official Flash download page. This will download into your default download (Downloads) folder, but not automatically install.
To install it, make sure Safari and System Preferences are closed, then single-click the Downloads icon on your Dock, next to the Trash icon. The item at the bottom of the stack that pops up is the Flash Installer. Single-click it, to launch the installer. Once installed, right-click on the installer icon on your Desktop and eject it.

Adobe Flash Player won't install on Mac OS X 10.6.4

I cannot get Adobe Flash Player to install properly on an iMac running OS X 10.6.4. I download the software, run the installer, it appears to install successfully but I receive an error message when I attempt to run a video on Safari: You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. When I view Library > Application Support > Adobe there is no Flash Player folder. What's strange is that Flash Player was working properly one week prior. My machine specifics:
Processor: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM
Safari: Version 5.0.1 (6533.17.8)
