Can't install Flash Player 12 on Apple Macbook Pro w/  2.6 GHz Intel i5 proc. Adobe needs to fix it

Can't install Flash Player 12 via Safari on my Apple Macbook Pro 13" w/  2.6 GHz Intel i5 processor. Error message says "User does not have sufficient privileges." I've worked w/ Apple Tech Support, tried various fixes, no change-it's not a setting on the Macbook.  I've emailed Adobe requesting a fix. Any suggestions?

Adobe can't fix user permissions on your MacBook... and "User does not have sufficient privileges" comes from your OS, on your MacBook, NOT the installer.
Have you tried a "Clean Install"? (offline - NOT using Safari) How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
or a COCOA install:
Right click the installer and choose "Show Package Contents"
Go to: Contents/Resources and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file

  • Problem with installing Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro

    I tried to install Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro, however, it stuck at "retrieving install" screen, it is supposed to be a new version, anybody has the same problem?

    Yes same issue. I even tried chatting with adobe support but they did not help as I am not a paid subscriber. I have seen many others with the same issue. I hope adobe is aware of this. am trying to contact them.

  • Can i install flash drive in mid-2009 macbook pro

    I want to increase the storage on my MacBook pro - mid-2009. I use Final Cut so there are demands. Must I stay with a spinning drive or can I install a large flash drive? I big can I go? 2.26 ghz, 8 gigs ram, running latest Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
    Thanks

    One option is to remove your DVD drive and install a second drive.  So you could have an SSD (flash drive) for speed and a traditional drive for volume.  This might be helpful:

    How can i install Flash Player in my iphone 4?

    This won't be possible.  Due to restrictions from Apple, plug-ins are not allowed in Safari on iOS.  Instead, all  flash based applications that choose to do so are distributed via the app store using Adobe AIR.  From an end users perspective, you won't know if you are using a native or flash based app.

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!

  • Can't install Flash player on mac os 10.8.4

    I can't install Flash player on mac os 10.8.4 (Safari). The adobe help tells me I've installed version 11.8.800.94 - but the player is nowhere to be found...

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
    If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the trash
    Reboot
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

  • I can't install Flash Player on Mac, because of Dashboard Client

    I can't install Flash Player on my Macbook Pro OS X Mountain Lion, because of error it keep showing me, that my Dashboard Client is running and i need to close it.

    Unfortunately, going through all the widgets, closing them, quitting the dashboard, installing Adobe whatever, then reinstalling all the widgets is a complete PITA.
    There is a widget called Dashquit 3.0 which is supposed to turn dashboard off. When I tried it with 10.9.3, It quit dashboard, but dashboard started back up immediately, preventing the Adobe install. I then looked at other answers which recommended turning the dashboard process off using Activity Monitor. Same results - using either Quit or Force Quit, dashboard stopped for a millisecond then restarted.
    The thing that finally worked for me after all of this was to restart the computer. I shut down Safari before restarting so that it would not appear immediately on restart. As soon as I was able to after the restart, I opened the Adobe .dmg file and started the install process. It finally installed without any further intervention.
    Adobe, it sure would be nice if your installer-writers were to ignore the Dashboard Client since it doesn't use Flash as far as I know, and it would be even more convenient if the installer shut down Safari or Chrome or Firefox or other browsers automatically with permission from the user. It sure would make things a lot easier. Other installers do this routinely, so why can't you?

  • I can't install flash player on MAC

    I can't install flash player on MAC
    give me error after program download on MAC as me to put my user ID and password
    I try to put but always give me error

    @douglasbell2
    The dialog window requesting the password is an OS dialog window, it is not a Flash Player window.  I understand the confusion, but we can't modify a system dialog window with additional information.
    @jongenelen
    If you're system does not have a password, you should be able to continue the installation with out it.  Ignore the password field and click the OK button.  If your system does have a password and you don't recall what it is, I recommend Googling something like "reset lost os x password".  This search returns many results, and some vary depending on the OS version.

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
