Adobe Flash Player Keeps Downloading in TextEdit Form

I've been trying to install the newest version of adobe flash player (12) on my mac (OS X 10.6.8) through Safari (5.1.10) but every time I dowload it and click on it to install it, it opens in TextEdit so I can't do anything with it. How do I change the format that it downloads in so I can install it?

See the extension? ".dmg.mdlp"
Right click the link and select "Download Linked File As"...
BEFORE you save it, REMOVE the ".mdlp" from the end.
I don't know what mdlp is or WHY safari is adding it to your DMG downloads, but you may need to reset Safari (from the menu bar, Safari>Reset Safari) to remedy it.

    Adobe Flash Player has to be downloaded, installed and aloowed.
        Allow  Plug-ins

  • My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

    I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

    Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

  • Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing in Google Chrome

    I am using Google Chrome and every time I open the browser Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing.  I have Windows 7.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Hello,
    Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues. 
    using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
    Tried the DRM fix,
    Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
    Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
    Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    Also having problems on Chrome.
    Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
    When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.'  The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
    AIV works just fine on my iPad.
    For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
    This needs to get fixed asap!
    Thanks

  • Adobe Flash Player keeps popping up in IE11 just installed

    Hi, I have Windows 7 Professional in my HP Notebook, during a recent windows update, IE11 was installed, now everytime I am in IE there is a window to allow Adobe Flash Player to download, I recently downloaded an update on AFP, what is going on?  this is very annoying, how can I stop this?  Thanks,
    Jose

    When you go to certain web sites ( ABC.com video clips for example ) the ACTIVE X FILTER installed in IE 10 and IE 11 will block the video content. When it does, the web site ( ABC.com ) thinks you don't have Flash Player installed and offers to intall it for you. DO NOT use the TOOLS menu of IE to turn off ACTIVE X FILTERING. That will make you vulnerable to the malicious applets that the filter was disigned to protect you against.
    Find the ADDRESS box on the top left of the IE browser page ( where http://forums.adobe.com appears ). On the far right of the box is a clockwise circular arrow that will REFRESH your current page. Immediately to the left of the REFRESH arrow is a small circle with a diagonal line thru it ( the universal symbol for negation as in NO LEFT TURN traffic sign ). Left click on the small circle and then click on the TURN OFF ACTIVE X FILTERING button that appears in the drop down box. I believe that will turn off the filtering for this one web page and for this visit only. That should solve your problem.

  • Why does Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player keep installing McaFee Security Scan on my system?

    Whenever I install the Adobe Flash player or Adobe Reader on my system, it downloads and installs McAfee Security Scan Plus at the same time. It does not ask if I want it or not, it instead forces it on me, so I have to then unistall it. I've unistalled it 3 or 4 times in the last week. I DO NOT WANT MCAFEE PRODUCTS on my computer!
    Please make this an option, give the users a choice so we don't have to keep removing the stupid thing.

    Did you 'Uncheck" the relevant box pointed by the red arrow ? If not you accepted the installation with McAfee.
