Adobe Flash Player Update won't install

Have tried several times on my own -- and with Apple Tech support to get the Adobe Flash Player on my I Mac to finish installing. I got it to initialize, but to finish the process, it only goes part way (36% or 28% or 26%) and then locks up and won't go complete the process. Safari is not on. Was on tech support call for 2 1/2 hours and we tried different browsers and methods -- still had lock up problem. How can this get fixed?

Follow these instructions: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X to the letter. You'lll perform an "offline" install and be up to date.
Adobe updates are released on average about every six weeks, not once a week. In fact, the most often they've been this year was in March when a security issue was addressed and an additional Windows update was released ten days after the regular update, but that wouldn't have affected you on a Mac.

Adobe Flash Player 9 won't install on my Macbook Pro!!!!!!!!!!

I've had a problem with all these flashplayers on my MBP. I took it into Apple and they were able to get Flashplayer 8 (I believe) to finally work. This was quite some while ago. Well, these websites are using flashplayer 9 and I couldn't view them correctly, so I started to install it (the way the directions stated) and it gets hung up w/4 items remaining to install. It taxes my CPU from 90-100% the entire time and it just stays like that until I quit the installation.
I've downloaded the uninstaller and ran it. I re-downloaded the flashplayer and tried installing it again, same thing. Re-did it...same outcome, obviously.
This is driving me insane and now I have no flashplayer whatsoever.
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Machine Model: MacBookPro1,1
CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
Number Of Cores: 2

Be sure you are getting the version of Flash Player from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/. Other versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel Macs.
The following may be helpful in learning what may and may not work properly on Intel Macs:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Adobe flash player 2014 won't install on Mountain Lion

Suddenly last week flash player stopped working on my MacBook Pro - Mountain Lion. I tried downloading the new version but it kept timing out and ending with an error message. Even when I unlocked my my security settings to allow downloads from anywhere. I was able to download some version of Adobe Flashplayer via an alternate site - softpedia, but only some videos will work with that and with others I continue to get the alert to upgrade. I tried calling Apple, but of course they wanted me to pay to have them help me solve what is essentially THEIR problem as I see it. Only as a last resort.
C.

I've have this problem come and go, and come back again.
FIX: The best fix so far for me is to go back to Flash Version 13. The say Flash Player Version 13 is in "extended release". I am on Mac osx 10.7.5 the last version of mac operating system for my machine.
Find it here: for browsers, it may have the strange name "plug in content debugger", I think the word "plug in" matters for browsers. The other "projector" versions I don't know about. The "plug in debugger version 13" fixed my safari problems.
https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Fix 2: You must disregard the constant signaling to update to version 15 if you are getting it. The update to version 15 may load a broken version in the browser, then you have to uninstall it with their special utility and reinstall version 13. Get the uninstall download here (or search for adobe flash uninstall on the web):
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_u ninstall
More Possible Explanation: Apparently the weird name "debugger" means they have debugged common problems with it. Essentially you are going back to the previous version since the new one has problems loading/working (keeps getting identified as out-of-date so it won't work) but they don't want to pull the new version off the market, can you imagine that mess. Thanks Adobe for the extended release we depend on it!
Here is adobe's comment on it:
EXTENDED SUPPORT RELEASE - FLASH PLAYER
What is the extended support release?
Adobe makes available a version of Flash Player called the "Extended Support Release" (ESR) to organizations that prefer Flash Player stability over new functionality. We have created a branch of the Flash Player code that we keep up to date with all of the latest security updates, but none of the new features or bug fixes available in our current release branch. This allows organizations to certify and stay secure on Flash Player with minimal effort.
10/14/2014 - Updated debugger and standalone versions of Flash Player. These players contain fixes for critical vulnerabilities identified in Security Bulletin APSB14-22. The latest version is 13.0.0.250 (Win and Mac). All users are encouraged to update to these latest versions.

Adobe Flash Player 11 Won't Install Mac OS X 10.8.5

I attempted to install the FlashPlayer 11 update today and the installer crashes during the installation. I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall a fresh installation of FlashPlayer but with the same end result the installer crashes just a few percentage points into the install process.
Please advise?

Mr. McBlob,
Admittedly you know a lot about computers, but it seems you are using that AGAINST people. I openly admitted I'm a "stupid user," but you seem to want to PUNISH "stupid users" (I'm the top user in a company of 800 people, but by no means as good as you--I just mention that because it should be obvious to you that most people AREN'T as knowledgeable about computers as you are. Should we all just stop using computers? Would you like us all to never use YouTube again because we made a stupid mistake?) Since YouTube stopped working after I and hundreds of others installed the Flash update, the Adobe forum was a logical place to go first.
And yes, I know that not everybody has TimeMachine, but most Mac users do, and egon1984 and I gave them something to work with. For a couple of days, there was nothing. Users without Time Machine can of course reinstall the OS as another way to get mach_kernel back. Or maybe they can get it from another machine with the same OS.
I suggest zen meditation to settle yourself down a bit.

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player. What am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either. I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish. It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it. It shows up in the "system preference" and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player". It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does. It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder". I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
Hope this helps you.
See the attached page for reference.

Could you try clearing your data and cache from the Google Play Store to see if that solves the problem?
On my system I go to: Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Google Play Store, then I click the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.

My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

Adobe Flash Player 12 won't complete install

I want to install Adobe Flash Player & Firefox won't allow it - how do I get around this?

I need to allow Adobe Flash Player to be installed

Uninstall that old Shockwave Flash 9.0 r16 program first.
Then do this: Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

HT5655 Adobe Flash Player not working after installing

I've just bought a brand new macbook pro and have tried to download adobe flash many many times and it just won't work. It tells me that I need adobe Flash player so I click the link, which takes me to the adobe website, I then download it, follow all the prompts and installation is complete. But then I go back and the message appears again that I need adobe flash player!!! I am about to tear my hair out, please help!

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. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
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 3
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, 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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Open this folder as in Step 3:
/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 5
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 6
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 7
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 8
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Adobe Flash Player Installer blank when installing?

I tried updating my adobe flash player and every time I installed it, and from all my three browsers, it remains blank when the "Adobe Flash Player Installer"
comes up and I cannot do anything. I just have to log off because it won't close. I tried uninstalling all my adobe stuff in my computer and still nothing will install and now I can't watch no youtube videos and it's just so annoying. Please help! (Picture below of issue)

Pat-
Finally found the fix with the last link on the page with the direct download. Not sure why the update is doing this.
Looks like a lot of people are experiencing this.
Thank you!

Flash Player 9 Won't Install on MacOS X (Intel)

I received an alert trying to open a video on MSN that I
didn't have the Flash plugin installed (which I, in fact, did). I
clicked the link to download the new Flash 9 and was re-directed to
the Adobe Flash Player download page. I installed the player and it
seemed to go fine. However, now I get error messages when opening
pages containing Flash in Safari and Firefox stating that I don't
have the Flash plugin installed. I tried installing the plugin from
within Firefox, and it gives me a message every time stating that
the "Install Failed". I have used the Un-Installer, restarted
between un-installs and installs and I can't get the plugin to
install whatever I do. Using MacBook Pro, MacOSX 10.4.9, Safari
2.0.4, Firefox 2.0.0.3
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks.

You can enable Root using the instructions at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290
However, you shouldn't need to do this and doing so won't
necessarily resolve any underlying problem which might be
preventing you installing as desired. In the first instance, for
Firefox, I'd look at the following tech doc:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4aa64290
For Safari, try removing the plug-ins for Flash in the
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and try reinstalling afresh.
If this fails for either Firefox and Safari, I'd check that
there aren't any problems with the permissions on your startup disk
using Disk Utility.
Hope that helps! Let me know if not and I'll see what I can
come up with.
