Can't find adobe flash player after installing

I have downloaded and installed the latest version (12) of Adobe Flash Player on my Windows 7 computer. I checked the help page and it says it is installed and I see the clouds moving. However, I cannot find the program on my computer. I am trying to watch some movie video clips from a website and it keeps saying I have to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to watch it. I have downloaded and installed it 5 times now to no avail. I have turned off my computer and turned it back on each time. I have Norton Internet Security but I told it to allow it when it installed. I really want to watch the movie clips. Where can it be and why doesn't it run? Thanks to anyone who can help me. (I am not really technical so please make it not too difficult if you can).

Try another browser. Here's why I say that.
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Can't run Adobe Flash player after install

I installed Adobe Flash player as administrator in Windows
XP. Now when I'm logged in as a non-administrator user, I cannot
run the Flash player. I just get a message suggesting I download it
when I go to a website that wants to use it. If I go to the same
website logged in as the administrator, it runs fine. Has anyone
encountered this problem?
Thanks.

Can you find adobe flash player 11.5.502.55?

I have a power pc and 10.5.8 i find a discussion about a flash player on 11.5.502.55, but i couldn't find it. Now the 10.102.64 now the flash player not working it goes 50% but never finish installation. So i'm going to a older version on google to download the flash player 90280. otherwise can you find it 11.5.502.55, all i find out was youtube and i needed a latest flash player.

At some point I'd posted some method for patching a Flash player so it would appear as 11.5.502... and thought to try & find it among previous discussions; and for some reason I could only go back 500 discussions. So I did not find that post.
Given the Flash player is essentially obsolete for the outdated OS X version(s) the patch is a way to allow some sites and some content to load in a browser that otherwise may not. However because it is not improved regularly, there is content that probably won't work even if you use the patch and run a later version.
The instructions are in a read-me richtext file in the patch folder; the Plugin update is included and you swap out the older plugin with a newer 11.5.xx included in the download file. It seems to do OK and my older Macs can use it. (Even my early Intel-based MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8 has a patch, since it hasn't a current Flash either.) See their 'read first' file to see what you need to do to get the patch to work. Save the old part in another folder so you could revert it. And test the Flash player version after the patch update. This does not use a regular installer; you re-use part of the existing Flash player

You can use the Adobe Flash Player help site to test a version, get another (vintage) version in their older version section archive; or test a version in any Mac that can go online to see what (if any) is running in it.

For more regular problems with an Adobe Flash installation
(not related to a patch issue) this also offers troubleshooting:

Given the moving-target nature of the internet web page content, browser and OS
technology update or change, and obsoletism of various products, you cannot
expect these items to last; you will have to upgrade the system at some point, and
because the hardware limits you in PowerPC (and other) a newer computer device
is another prospect if you require an online presence and need Flash player plugins.
You could try other web browsers, re: iCab http://www.icab.de/dl.php (runs Demo)

TenFourFox no longer sees Flash player. http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
FireFox is no longer supported past an old versions in PowerPC Mac 10.4/10.5.
Some video content uses HTML5 so you can check to see if any browsers you use
can be adapted to more readily try to use that when available and not rely on Flash.

Can't find Adobe Flash Player in app store

I am getting a message that my Flash Player is out of date but after downloading it, I get a message that it needs to be uploaded from the app store. I go to app store but don't see it anywhere?

Adobe flash player is not on the Mac App Store. Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download the installer as a DMG file.
Then open the DMG file and launch the installer in order to install the plugin.
If the installer for Adobe flash is suggesting you go to the Mac App Store then I would be concerned that it isn't an official installer.

How can I get Adobe Flash Player to install on my computer

I just sent in a question regarding installing Adobe Flash Player on my computer. In fact, I did it twice. I do not understand how this discussion section works?

Thanks so much for your answer to my first question.
I have Windows 7 and use the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I do not have any version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer. I recently received a message from Kaspersky Security that there was a problem with my Adobe Flash Player. I then uninstalled the Flash Player that was on my computer. I don't know what version that was.
Now, I am trying to download another version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer. When I hit the install prompt, I am unable to hit run as a pop-up message comes across the bottom of my screen which asks me if I want to open or save. When trying either of these options, I get an error message that says the attempt has failed.
I tried to work through the help section on Adobe.com today. I tried to go into tools and change the settings it suggested. This also failed.
Now, I don't know where to go from there?

"bing" is a search engine and NOT a browser. I have a Mac and I can use bing with Firefox. Unless you've installed: Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome or Safari... you most certainly DO use Internet Explorer.

Why won't it let me download it or use it?

Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ? If yes, Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
If not, what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?

After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed, movies and tv shows will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer. When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times. Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

To see if you have Flash Player installed, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If anything shows up under "Version information" you have it installed.

Hi,
Could you download the appropriate version of the installer from the following page?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580?tstart=0
Once downloaded, please quit all of your browsers and launch the installer. If it still fails, please restart your system and try again. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

This is my first Mac and I'm not convinced of them.....nah, I just need a shove in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Is this a problem with the DOWNLOAD or with the INSTALLATION? You should be able to download with Safari open but you do have to quit Safari in able to install. Try downloading the dmg file, restart with no apps open and then trying to install Flash Player.
