Any and All flash players - Will Not Install

it gets held up at "waiting for last 4 items to install"
and wont install it completely, I have restarted, uninstalled, installed.
I dont know what else to do?
I tried repairing permissions, it repaired quite a few things, but this did not lead to the solution to my problem.
I then logged into guest and it installed flash player 9 no problem, so I assumed it had something conflicting with it in my user library folder. So I emptied out the entire library folder, logged out, logged back in, tried to install it, and it still would not install.
I have pit helmet, I have it disabled.
Still wont install.
I'm currently running around with no flash player installed and I am seriously fed up with this ****.

Hi again
well, that's odd....
The 'normal' installation of the flash player puts the files needed for plug-ins in the HD/library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder and HD/Application support/macromedia/ & the only ones specific to a user are a series of folders in User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/macromedia/ etc but these only contain a version.txt file. also a load of prefs & settings specific to the user account; although I don't think these have to be in place for flash to work, otherwise you couldn't make a new account & have Flash work straight off.
I suggest you look in /hd/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & report what files you have in there...... also in the /User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folders for both the accounts & check what flash-related plug-ins are present. Since certainly on my mac ( not an intel) Flash works on any new account, although it hasn't been specifically installed in any but my main acct.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

Adobe Flash Upgrade will not install after Firefox upgrade to 3.6.7

I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.7. After the upgrade I got a message that I needed to upgrade Adobe Flash due to security vulnerabilities. The Flash upgrade will not install. It simply sits and never installs no matter how long I wait.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice

Thanks for your response. I have previously reviewed this. The only potential problem it seems to resolve is having 2 versions of Shockwave installed. I only have one. The only thing I can think of to do is just uninstall the one version and see if it will trigger an installation. When I go to the Flash install site, I agree to the terms and get the next screen that says download will start. I never get a message asking if it's ok to run or anything. No matter where I look for a download for Flash I wind up at the same place with the same problem. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so. I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
Link to full installer version of player?
I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
Thanks

The installer works for the vast majority of people. We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people. We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out. There's something underneath us that's not working right. With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows. My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
Switch to Google Chrome.
Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain. Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

When i open finder the windown is a completely blank grey box with the title "Window" as a header, and all my folders will not open when clicked

when i open finder the windown is a completely blank grey box with the title "Window" as a header, and all my folders will not open when c
the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

OSXUpd10.8.3dmg and OSXUpdCombo10.8.3 will not install

OSXUpd10.8.3dmg and OSXUpdCombo10.8.3 will not install. I have tried downloading both several times and get a corrupt file notice.

I had to re-install the SAME complete OS I already had, over the existing one, using "recovery" options at startup. It was downloaded, and that worked. Good Luck!

Facebook games 'FarmTown' & 'FarmVille' won't run. Flash 10 will not install and displays "incompatibility" with FFox

The games Farm Town and FarmVille partially load on Facebook. The message to update Flash Player is displayed. I clicked to update Flash player, but it would not install. A message displayed saying Flash 10 is incompatible with FireFox and would not install until FireFox was shut down.

I have Windows XP.
In regards to my blank white page, the flash is now working again (Whether I needed to restart again or if it was a site thing).
And I'm not sure how to go about changing my display resolution with the browser, or know where to find it for that matter. Of course there's the one you can find in the control panel/display for the whole computer in general, but that doesn't do anything except make everything larger (Since I originally had it on the highest: 1024 x 768 pixels) and doesn't change the resize compatability for flash player at all.
Above is a screen shot of the jigsaw site I use (which is not the worst game resizing issue I've run into.) On the left side of the flash window, there are options to choose during game play, and the last option gets cut in half b/c the window won't resize correctly. And I haven't any idea if there are more options below it or not.
Below is one of the worst resizing issues I HAVE run into. I don't play farmville anymore since this problem, among it being boring, makes it literally impossible to play the game. I brought up the marketplace option since it's the most drastic. This is all of the flash game window, which would resize anything normally on my other computers, but the images get cut off along the sides with this one. I have tried playing this game on its home site, hoping that facebook was the problem, but it's the same issue there as well.

Flash plugin will not install even after installing the latest version Flash

When I go to a site that contains Flash content, it says "A plugin is needed to display this content" and there is a link to install the plugin. Additionally, there is a message at the top of the page that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" with an option to "Install Missing Plugins." I click the link to install the missing plugin, and a dialog box pops up that says "The following plugins are available:" and lists "Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152" with a check box next to it. The box is checked, and I click "Next" to install. It goes through the motions, and then tells me that "No plugins were installed." There is a link to manually install the plugin, which takes me to Adobe's Flash download page. I unchecked the box to pair McAfee Security with the download, and downloaded the latest version of Flash (to be honest, I've actually downloaded this exact same version about 10 times today). The dialog box pops up, I save the file, and once it has downloaded, I open the containing folder (my downloads folder). I then close all programs (including Firefox) except for the Windows Explorer folder that I'm going to run the installer from. I double-click on the Flash installer to run the installation. The installation process completes, the installer tells me that the download is successful, and my browser opens back up with an "Installation Successful" message from the Adobe website. Yay! My installation is successful... Orrrrrr not. Navigating back to the page with the Flash media - still have a message saying I need the plugin. Attempt to download plugin again...no dice.
THEN, I go to "Manage my add-ons" thinking maybe I need to enable the plugin. There is no Flash (or Shockwave) plugin listed on any of the menus - it's like it doesn't exist.
I downloaded the latest version of Java because I read somewhere that Flash requires Java to work; I installed the "Add-On Compatibility Reporter" so I could force Java to be enabled. It made no difference whatsoever, as best I can tell.
I also went to Adobe's page where you can see what version of Flash you're running (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) and it doesn't even show that I have Flash installed. In Internet Explorer, it does show that I have Flash installed, but it's the previous version (but that is likely due to the fact that I downloaded Flash from Mozilla, not IE, and they use different modes in each browser - so an update that you download from one browser does not necessarily apply to the other browser).
So in summary: I do not know what on earth is wrong here, but I am about as frustrated as I have ever been in my life. I don't know why the Adobe Flash installation is saying it is successful (is it lying to me??), but there is no plugin showing up in my Manage Add-Ons menu, and I have googled every possible combination of the content in this post and have not found a solution that works yet.

NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
*32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
*64-bit uninstaller: download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe

Flash player will not install please help.

I am running IE and windows 8. flash works fine for chrome and any other web browser I use. The program I use for work speficially uses IE for maps and they will not load. I have unistalled and tried reinstalling, i tried to use it before when it was already installed on my computer, ive changed all the settings in internet options to what the help page says. When i try to reinstall at the get.adobe all i get is a the page with the adobe logo, but where it should have the doanload button and all the information it is just white... please help i need to get this solved before monday.

Flash Player for IE in WIndows 8 is modified and embedded in the browser by Microsoft. You cannot update it or reinstall it from here... ONLY through Windows Update. There's a Microsoft KB update installed that prevents any modification outside of Windows Update for the ActiveX plugin in WIndows 8 or 8.1.
Firefox, Opera and Safari use a standard Flash Player plugin. Chrome (like IE) has its own porprietary build (called "PepperFlash"), which is modified and embedded in the browser by Google. It functions independently of the Standard or ActiveX plugins.
The problem you're seeing ISN'T a Flash Player problem. It's a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released it. The pages (or in this case the app) can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
Adobe can't fix this because Internet Explorer 11 isn't their product and the problem is in the browser itself, not the plugin.
