Can't download and install Adobe Flash Player

I have a new Acer Aspire laptop on Windows 8.1, running the latest Firefox as default browser. On trying to open Al Jazeera in Firefox I get a window that says I need to download Adobe Flash Player:
I click on that and get the Adobe download page:
I click on install now and get the prompt to save install_flashplayer:
I click on save file and then go to my downloads folder and it has the installer icon there:
However when I then double click on it nothing more happens. A window headed Adobe Flash Player Installer with no content appears:
And nothing more happens.
Please advise.

  • How can I download and install Adobe Flash Player?

    Actually, I think I have downloaded Flash Player 9 (Adobe confirms not only download but installation), but the player does not work. I receive a message "There is no default application specified to open the document "Flash Player.plug.in" in both Safari and Firefox.

    Nate;
    I am experiencing the same problem. The message I get when I open up a page in Safari is that I need to have shockwave to view this MIME type file. When I choose to select the options given when this message appears, it takes me to the Adobe web site for downloading flash 9. I have tried opening Safari in Rosetta mode with no luck. THis is a recent phenomenon; prior to this I had no trouble viewing MIME files

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • How can I find and install adobe flash player for ipad2

    I was try find but can't find flash player,,,,

    You can't download it, flash is not supported on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch), and probably never will be : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line, but again some of them have app versions in the store.

  • Trouble downloading and installing adobe flash player on Macbook air

    When trying to download from Adobe site, it stops mid way for no reason. After cancelling and resuming hundreds of times I get it going again to the end. After that, when I try to run the installation software, I get an error message illegal seek. Does anyone can help me?

    You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
    If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

  • Dowload and install adobe flash player in ubuntu

    I need to install Adobe Flash Player  with Ubuntu

    Hello,
    Flash Player on Ubuntu is available via Software Updates or apt-get command-line.  You may need to update the repository for it to detect the new version of Flash Player and make it available to you.

  • Can't seem to install Adobe Flash Player 9 or earlier

    I'm trying to watch a video on Yahoo and I've installed Flash Player, like, 4 times. Even restarted a few times. What's up??? I'm truly frustrated.
    Thanks.

    Hello allano,
    One way to ascertain which Flash player a web site is using is to Control + Click or right click on a mouse any clear space on the web site. In the pop menu, click View Source. When that window opens, press Command + F. At the top of that window type in Flash. The results will be automatically highlighted for you. Apparently Yahoo uses Adobe Shockwave Player available for download here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Also, for minimum requirements go here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/systemreqs/
    See if you can view video on Yahoo after you do the download and install. It's always a good idea to run Disk Utilities (Applications/Utilities) and Repair Disk Permissions after the installation.
    Hope this helps!

  • Downloading and installing Adobe Flash 10.3 without android market

    I know its really frustrating so im going to try to help if you have had problems.  Go download android black market  if you can find it go to 4shared.c o m search black market apk . 
    Ok after installing black market search for Adobe flash and it will properly let you download it.  Note if your using wifi and not phone service you cannot access all flash programs like farmville.  But can access some flash games that you dont play online and screensavers over wifi.  Good luck downloading Adobe Flash other  then market place without going threw black market.   You have to have 2.2 and up though if you need help just ask

    Rich,
    Replied to you in the other thread.  If you're having a desktop issue, please create your own thread and list out your OS, browser version and installed version of Flash Player and we'll do what we can to help you out.
    Thanks,
