Adobe Flash Player Auto Install downloads same file repeatedly after successful installation.

Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X 11.5.502.135 was successfully installed and working in browser. Auto download continued to download and install same version repeatedly, at least every hour. Uninstall and re-install does not fix the problem. The previous version, 11.5.502.110 did the same thing.
PC with Windows 7 64bit. Browser: IE 9.0.12, 32 bit. Have temporarily uninstalled Flash Player to stop the auto downloads.

I had the file in both locations, they looked identical.... here's the one from \SysWOW64\\\
I just pasted the last 4 months. Let me know if you need the rest of the last two years.

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

You asked your question on the wrong forum. Try one for the Flash Player

Flash Player update install/download stops at 2 of 3

I've never had any problems in the past with installing/downloading Adobe Flash Player updates. Now I am. Why? I know Adobe Flash Player is installed on my computer, I've checked to make sure it is enabled and I have also disabled or unchecked the ActiveX filtering too. If I choose not to install Google Chrome for downloading the newest Flash Player update, does this cause the install/download to not complete and stop at 2 of 3 steps? I believe I have unchecked Google Chrome in the past with no issues, but not sure now. I usually have to go in uninstall Google Chrome because it always seems to mess with my Facebook page. So I no longer want Google Chrome installed on my computer because of this.
The install/download never gets to this point so I can finish the install/download because stops at 2 of 3 steps :
Any advise as to what to do now?

Hi,
Based on your screenshot, I'm guessing the 'Save File' option never becomes available. Is that correct. I also see the file being downloaded has '14' in it, which means this is a version 14 file, which you shouldn't be getting as we're up to version 17. I've forwarded this to the folks who handle the online installer to investigate. In the meantime, you can use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section. There are several installer types for various browsers. You'll want to update Flash Player for all browsers you use, unless you have Windows 8.x in which case, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and prevents installation using the Flash Player installer, as updates are performed via updates to IE.

Adobe Flash Player is installing SPYWARE! ... It is called "Google"

Upon turning my PC on today, I got the standard black pop-up window from Adobe, advising that a new version of Flash Player was available for download, which I agreed to do.
As the installer ran, I saw that Google Chrome was being installed without my consent! After Flash player finished installing, I tried to stop the "Google" installation, but couldn't!
I went directly to Control Panel and uninstalled Google Chrome before allowing the installer to finish its dirty work.
Well, the application detected this and and opened Internet Explorer, which I NEVER use and have Internet connection disabled through my firewall.
This is playing dirty, Adobe! No- this isn't "playing" at all! This is illegal intrusion~ This is SPYWARE!
In the past, Adobe Flash player gave the chance to "opt out" of Google Chrome (which we shouldn't HAVE to do), but now, we have NO CHOICE, because Google has become WORSE than any spyware or virus! And that is they now have the trust of the world.
Remember: Power corrupts... Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Adobe, if you even care anymore, we are asking that you do something about this intrusion.
No one has the right to install programs without the consent of the owner of the devise. And you know it!
You guys think we have no power of choice and so can't do anything about this... That's what revolution is all about!

Just started installing Flash and clicked install as one normally does. I noticed it started installing google so i quickly clicked cancel.
I have logged this in another thread and only afterwards spotted this one.
I have since restarted the install and now noticed the PRE-TICKED tickbox for Google installation. I think that should be made illegal.
The company I work for deals with other large companies who use flash for online videos so unfortunately we need flahs installed.
I havn't updated flash for a while, but I now understand why I have had calls from users having difficulties using the internet as in every instance they had lost their well known microsoft explorer and coul dno longer find all the menu options and icons they were uised to.
I then have tpo de-install google and re-enable explorer for them.
Google's attitute is costing businesses money and I think they are on a fine line between promoting themselves and being common criminals. They are not doing themseves any favors though, that's a fact!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you need Flash for important tasks, download and install it > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I do not recommend you to use it due to the number of security issues it has got, but if you need it, you can install it without any problem. Just make sure you keep it updated

After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed, movies and tv shows will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer. When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times. Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

Can adobe flash player be installed on iPad.

There is no Flash Player for iOS; Apple won't allow it.

Remove C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir after successful installation

Hello,
do you recommend to delete the directory C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir after successful installation.
It wastes ~500 MB disk space.
Thanks,
Juergen

yes.
if the installation was successful. i've experienced, that you won't read logs of a successful installtion anymore...
but you could also zip & archive it somewhere.
if you plan to do further installation you even SHOULD remove/rename the directory.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER CRASHES DURING DOWNLOAD/INSTALL

i ALREADY HAVE THE LATEST ADOBE FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED AND WORKING IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
i RECENTLY ADDED FIREFOX BECAUSE OF BAD MALWARE OUT THERE BUT I CAN'T GET THE ADOBE FLAS PLAYER TO WORK IN FIREFOR.
MAYBE HTHERE'S A WAT TO GET IT INTO FIREFOS WIHTOUT DOWNLOADING IT?
I TRIED DOWNLOADING IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT ALWAYS CRASHES. ADOBE TECHS COULN'T FIGURE IT OUT.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*a plugin version for Firefox and most other browsers, except IE
*an ActiveX version for IE
When updating Adobe Flash, you must update both, separately. In Firefox, Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and on the "Plugin Check" page it is shown as "Shockwave Flash", the name given to it by Adobe.

#'''Check your plugin versions''': http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
#*'''Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions'''
#'''Update or Install the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
#*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
#*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
#*After download is complete, exit Firefox
#*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install

Adobe Flash Player (General install error) *****! Mach_Kernal missing?

Never had a problem updating Adobe Flash Player over the last maybe 10 times, It downloads to 50% and then bottoms out with a (general install error) message. So the I uninstalled and tried to re-install to no avail.
I don't know if I updated since updating to 10.8.5 but I read that the (Mach_Kernal) was found on people's (Documents) folder and some people deleted this but I don't remember if I ever got this when I updated. This was a blunder when updating to 10.8.5 and Apple was aware of it.
If that file isn't there is will cause Adobe Flash Player to fail.
I tried several Sudo commmands in Terminal to find the invisible (Mach_Kernel) file but when I type that in it just comes up with a message (No such thing found) Then I tried another Sudo command which would install it if it was missing and it comes up with the same thing (no such file or directory found).
Anyone know where this file resides and what folder it's in and can direct me exactly how to get to it to find out if it's still on my machine? As I said the Sudo commands came up with no results.
Thanks for your responses!

I don't know what you mean by clone your setup. Exactly what the whole OS? on an external drive. I do have an external drive but don't know how to back up the whole OS.
You use a separate partition (much preferably on a different physical drive) to make an exact copy of your current startup drive. At any time, you can choose to boot to it. Time Machine is a nice idea in that it automatically keeps various iterations of your data for you so you can go back to older versions of a document and such, but is (in my personal opinion) the clumsiest way possible to restore a hard drive.
You can create a clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper!, or Carbon Copy Cloner. The last two are third party apps which can perform extra abilities to make clone backups easier. I use the registered version of SuperDuper! myself, but CCC works just as well.
Once you make a clone of your startup drive, it is just what it implies. You have an exact copy of whatever drive you clone to another drive/partition. So instead of going through the very roundabout way of restoring a drive by reinstalling the OS and attaching a Time Machine backup to the reinstall on the fly, you simply boot to your clone and copy it back. Done. Takes way, WAY less time to get back up and running.
But if I do a re-install from that it'll bring back my lost stuff but will also bring back the old crap again. So what good would it do.
Yes, that could be an issue, but at least you'd be back to your last Time Machine backup state.
Plus No! I searched the App store and OS X Mountain Lion woulnd't even come up.
Open the App Store app and click on Store > View My Account. Click on the Manage link to unhide redownloadable purchases. Unhide Mountain Lion so it appears under the Purchases tab again.
Where did you read that Apple fixed this 10.8.5 Kernal problem?
A few users noted it on these forums about a week after the bug was noticed. They said the 10.8.5 update and full download of ML were fixed. I haven't checked it myself. It's very easy to properly hide the mach_kernel file if necessary.
Enter this in Terminal, or copy/paste the line below into Terminal:
sudo chflags hidden /mach_kernel
It will then ask for your admin password to complete the command. After that, the kernel should be hidden.
Well it wouldn't do me any good if I brought it back from Time Machine because the error is in the back up.
Yes, that is what would happen. I don't think you have any control over an OS/Time Machine reinstall. You will always be put back at your last backup state.
Furthemore if it's in your past purchases (You should't have to pay for it)! Why would I pay for it when it's in my past purchases with a download button?
You absolutely should not have to. Once purchased, it's yours. I've got Lion and Mountain Lion on bootable USB drives I made from the downloads. I can boot my Mac to those at any time and reinstall the OS. I'm going to do the same thing with Mavericks, just haven't done it yet.
