Adobe Flash Player 12 won't complete install

Tried installing the latest Flash but the installation stops at the end and reports GENERAL ERROR. Installation fails and I'm redirected to Adobe web site to retry the installaton download.
Had to update as Safari keeps prompting FLASH PLAYER OUT OF DATE. Funny thing is that Firefox has no issues and works
with Flash sites.
Any ideas folks? Thanks! 

1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced >  Delete  All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2.  Allow  Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

  • My Adobe Flash Player won't stay installed.

    Flash player just WON'T stay install.  This has been happening for a while, but today alone I've had to re-install it 10 times.  After about an hour or less everything just says "Plug-in Failure".  I'm not sure what's happening...how do I fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Flash Player won't complete install

    Hi-
    Hopefully someone can help. I'm using a PC, using Safari 33.0.3 (update available, I know), running Windows 7.
    Right now, version 15.0.0.152 Flash Player is installed. I'm able to download the install file, open it, and the security window comes up
    and I hit 'run'. Then the user account window opens and asks if I want to make changes and I hit yes.
    Then the Install Flash Player window comes up with just a gray background and nothing happens. Tried multiple times, closed Firefox,
    followed all the troubleshoots I could find. I even uninstalled Flash Player to see if I could load from scratch and the same install window
    comes up and nothing happens.
    Any help?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    In Firefox, if you choose Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled, does the problem go away?
    Also, have you tried rebooting your computer?

  • Adobe Flash Player won't stop asking to install.

    I'm using windows 7 and Mozilla firefox, but this problem happens even when I don't have a browser window opened.
    Adobe flash player won't quit asking to install. probably once a minute i receive a (UAC)request to allow adobe flash player to install. Even with no browser windows open. EVEN WHILE I AM WATCHING FLASH VIDEOS, it is telling me to install it. It literally interupts everything I am doing, even when I'm not browsing the internet.
    I currently have it completely uninstalled as far as i know. I used the adobe uninstaller available on this site. So there's no flash player or shockwave player installed on my computer... still receiving this request every minute or so.
    It's ridiculous.
    I tried running a virus scan, because thats the only thing I could possibly think of that would be this irritating, and it says that my computer is clean.
    Is there some secret files somewhere I need to delete? I'm thinking of deleting the activex install files. I keep getting "The ActiveX Installer (AxInstSV) service entered the running state." in my event viewer, which seem to coincide with this issue.

    I finally got it fixed but I'm not sure what fixed it.
    here's everything i did:
    Uninstalled all browsers.
    Uninstalled all adobe stuff.
    Uninstalled Java
    Deleted anything left behind (i left browser stuff though because i wanted it to save my passwords and such).
    disabled activexsvinst or something service. The activex installer service.
    Used CC cleaner to clean up registry
    Made sure to delete almost everything in user/local/temp folders and such (where adobe and java store stuff usually. I dunno might want to be careful doing this cause i dont know if there's important files there. Also some folders won't let you delete it but that just means you have to go inside the folder and select all then delete. The only file that should be in one of thosetemp folders is like fxsapidebug or something, in my opinion.)
    rebooted
    ran CC cleaner again.
    rebooted
    not sure if this helped but i also used HIJACKTHIS and uninstalled some browser helpers that didnt get deleted. In particular there was an adobe one i think. Cant really remember tho. Now that i look at hijackthis again, it couldn't have been this because the browsers helper stuff is still there.
    I also ran about 500000000 virus scans with multiple scanning programs and none of them detected anything.
    I've reinstalled Mozilla and flash and haven't had any problems since.
    Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem.

  • Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

    Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
    I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
    I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
    I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
    If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
    I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
    It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
    It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
    Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
    I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
    Please, any help with be appreciated!

    Everytime I try and watch a video that is using Adobe Flash Player my computer completely freezes.
    I am running windows 7, firefox 4 v6, and AFP 10.1. I have tried reinstalling AFP and upgrading to the firefox beta. I first experienced this after installing ADP 10.1 and have uninstalled that program until I can resolve this issue.

    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Click Check Now to make sure the currently installed Flash plugin is up to date.

  • 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.

  • Adobe flash player won't download in Mavericks. No previous versions

    Adobe flash player won’t install past 50% in Mavericks. No previous versions on my machine. All requirements are met per Adobe. Please HELP!

    bobgoldsteiner,
    try downloading the offline installer of Flash Player from here, and then run the installer locally on your MacBook Pro.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My Adobe Flash Player won't install. ( At all )

    It is just a boring gray screen.

    Here is a pic of what happens.

  • 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)
