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.

    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’.

  • 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):

    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 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
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    SMC Version: 1.2f10
    I'm running 10.4.7 as well.

    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.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

    I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional"  and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
    I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Installing Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3

    This is my fist time here. I have a HP Pavilion Windows XP computer. My access to the  Internet is only through the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
    When I try to play a video connected to a news story, etc, I get this small box asking if I  want to install Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3. When. I click on yes, I get another box saying I have to close Mozilla Firefox. Well if I close that, I have no Internet connection. Sort of Catch 22. Don't know why Adobe wants me to close my Internet connectiion and then to try to install its software. Not doable as far as I know.
    Are recommendations for dealing/resolving this situation?

    You're posting to the wrong forum. This forum is about Acrobat on the
    Windows platform, not about Flash.
    However, usually the internet connection is not dependent on the browser.
    You have an internet connection and you just use the browser to access the
    internet, so there shouldn't be a problem downloading and installing Adobe
    Flash even with Firefox closed.

  • Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

    I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
    I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
    Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
    1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
    2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
    I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
    AutoUpdateDisable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
    It still runs the update process every hour.
    I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
    My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
    Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
    Thank you

    Hi Ethan,
    try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
    Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
    you should do that for both:
    install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
    and
    install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
    If you are using both of them..
    Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"
