Adobe flash player won't update?

Hi there! I keep getting blocked plug-in messages. I try to update Adobe Flash Player and when I get to step 3 the screen says "blocked plug-in" (imagine that!) and therefore I cannot finish the download. I have enabled all plug-ins in the Preferences-Security window as well.
Stumped.... Please help

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Then do the following:
Make sure you download Adobe Flash Player that pertains to your OS which your system profile confirms is OS 10.6.8.
Check Flash Version
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:

Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.

I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

This did not work

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

How to Disable the Adobe Flash Player and Reader Updates

Ok, For the last two months or so, I have been plagued by the Adobe Flash Player and Reader updater that will not go away. That's not the worst thing though: Somehow, someway, the Adobe updater subverts my entire windows 7 machine and makes itself the most important program on my system, stopping all other necessary functions. After I just turn it on, the updater will suspend all Windows operations in favor of the updater getting its message out the Adobe "needs" updating. I have tried updating the stupid thing, only to find that after the update goes in, my whole computer locks up and I have to load a system restore point. This thing acts like a virus, and until someone comes up with a way to make it work properly, that's what I'm calling: Adobe creates and sells a computer killing virus. I want a sure fire way to disable the updater that will work, and that will never bug me again about updating the virus. After going through three different computer repair companies, many online forums and chat rooms and my own knowledge of how to disable programs, I have instructed my firewall to block all attempts by Adobe to update. This has to stop.

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 re-install

A few days ago i started experiencing problems with video players and adobe flash . For some reason in the middle of a video the screen turned green and started making static noise.
I also couldnt use some websites and their features because they said i needed an upgraded version of adobe flash player.When i went to download the latest version it said "chrome already has a built in adobe flash player and will update it". I went to the control panel and uninstalled adobe flash, when i went to re-install it, first the installation went to 60% and then said lost "connection.retrying connection"When i tried installing it a few more times it went to 100% successfully, but then an error occured and said "the side by side configuration of this application is incorrect...."
the weird thing is i dont have flash installed, but yet i am still experiencing the same problems as the ones i had when i had an old version of flash (nothing is worse, it stayed the same)
Please help me.
Problems i am experiancing:
1. All the video players, except Youtube either wont start or regularly turn green and start making static noise.
2.Sites like photo editing sites say i have an old version of flash player
3.Sometimes pictures glitch out and apear deformed and pixelated

Could you please try the following: It has some steps that you need to perform after uninstalling.

I am trying to upload the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. Though, after about 5 attempts of installing, uninstalling and reinstalling again, I still can't watch videos on youtube, hulu and other related sites. I also tried right-clicking the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon and selected "Show package Contents" and went into "Contents/Resources" to select the package...but the package wasn't even listed! I am running out of ideas here...any suggestions??

Adobe flash player won't load on my Mac

I got a notification on my MAC OS X 10.6.8 saying to upload the latest version of Adobe flash player.
I went ahead (then restarted the computer) but since then all my applications have been blocked, saying "blocked plug in".
Took advice and uninstalled any previous Adobe flash players from the Applications folder - then resinstalled the up to date Flash Player.
Restarted the PC again, but its made no difference. Safari still won't accept the Flash Player, my applications file shows that no Adobe Flash Player is installed and its now rendering my applications unusable.
I've been advised that Apple make the Adobe flashplayer update mandatory in order to continue using the MAC - frustrating to say the least !

Thank you for your answer.
I have un-installed all flash players. I went into a page where it confirms that if the "grey box below is blank" this confirms you have no flash player installed.
The message now says I need to install a flash player to run (whichever) app and to "click here".
I do so, the Adobe flash goes through stage of 1-2-3 and the usual box shows the download as it is happening, but at the end of it there is still no installation and I continue to get the same message - flash player is needed. (I have restarted the MAC inbetween)

Flash player won't update on my macbook?

I've tried about two dozen times to get flash player to update on my macbook 10.5.8 and it still won't work. The installation always goes fine, and says it was successful at the end, yet never actually works (yes, i've tried restarting my computer after). I used to be able to opt to watch videos online with the older version but now it won't let me and I can't so much as watch a youtube video because it says i'm missing the plug in. Any ideas why it's not working would be greatly appreciated!

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Flash player won't update in firefox in windows 8

I use Mozilla Firefox on a Windows 8 OS. I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.6, but the content on my page won't pull up. I have one of those spinning circles that just keeps going around and round, but never actually comes up. And, if it does come up, the pictures and content won't show. I uninstalled and the re-installed Flash and Java last night. I checked my add-ons, and they're ok. One thing I noticed is that in the task manager, where it shows "Adobe Flash Player Automatic Updates", it is stopped. Every time I restart it, it won't stay in start, it keeps stopping, but I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Please Help!! I'm an online student and have exams due TODAY!! I really need to be able to pull up the content of the exams so I don't lose points for turning in late work. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

I don't know what is causing your problems with Firefox, but if you need to see Flash content I suggest that you use IE10 with the built-in Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Player Won't work!

I am trying to use Adobe Flash Player on my account on me and my brother's computer. We have Windows 7. My brother's account's Flash Player works fine on his, but my account, no matter what I do, won't let player work. I thought it had something to do with our antivirus program, Kaspersky PURE 3.0, but turning it off or temporarily disabling it doesn't seem to help at all. Please help me ASAP, thanks!

Sorry I didn't explain that. "Won't Work" means that when I try to play a game on the internet that uses Flash Player, it won't start (usually just has a black window where the game should start up).

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!
