Can't install/uninstall Flash v10 in Debian.

Hello!
I downloaded
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.deb to upgrade my old Flash v10 in Debian, but I am getting problems:
# dpkg --install install_flash_player_10_linux.deb

reinstall it before attempting a removal.

If I try to reinstall it, then I get the same results in the beginning. How do I fix this?
Thank you in advance.

(1) download flash for firefox, but DONT INSTALL YET! (2) right-click firefox, select PROPERTIES. (3) click on COMPATABILITY tab. (4) select the RUN PROGRAM IN WINDOWS XP SP2 MODE. (5) click APPLY. (6) click CLOSE. (7) do the EXACT SAME for the FLASH PLAYER file you just downloaded. (8) now right click the FLASH PLAYER INSTALLER and click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. (9) goto the firefox shortcut and right click and select OPEN FILE LOCATION. (10) right click that file and look for the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, IF it is there then click it and run direfox, if not select OPEN FILE LOCATION AGAIN. (11) then right click it and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
NOW GO TO YOUR FAVORITE FLASH SITE, and you'll see that you can have your favorite browser AND flash, without having to run INTERNET EXPLODER.
Hope this helps.

XP SP2 mode? Compatibility? Administrator? IE? Do you know what Debian is? Quit trolling and spamming please.

Can't install/uninstall Flash Player?

Having some serious difficulty here with Flash. Firstly whenever I open a busy webpage that's running flash, my browser will immidiately crash (no rhyme intended)
I've been scouring the FAQ's as well as Google to find a solution and so far the majority of responses have been something along the lines of "uninstall it and then reinstall it". So I've tried doing that, only problem is that the install/uninstall manager also keeps crashing for me. So essentially I can't install, I can't uninstall.. and I can't currently view pages with copious amounts of flash (for more than a couple of seconds anyways) without it crashing.
Was really hoping somebody could help me, though I'm sure you'll need some information from me before you can give me an answer, so rather than filling up this whole discussion with information you may or may not need, but if you ask for some specific things I'll be sure to reply quickly
P.S sorry there is little to none formatting - not particuarly in the mood to make things look pretty at the moment

Flash Player plug-in not enabled can also be a reason.
In Firefox, could you please check if Flash Player pug-in is enabled? Click Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
Do you see Shockwave Flash?
Are you downloading Flash Player from the Adobe site? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Could you please do the following:
Right-click the downloaded file > Show Package Contents.
Go to the Content > Resource folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file.

Browser out of date and can't install Adobe Flash Player

My browser is out of date according to everything I am visiting. I can't post pictures on twitter, some of the videos I watch have blocked plug-ins, and I can't install adobe flash player. My computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.4, and I would like to keep Safari. Can someone direct me to where I get the newest version of Safari and why I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. I have installed, uninstalled, and done everything I know to do to get this problem resolved. Next step is take it to the Apple store as I am not a tech person. Thanks for any assistance.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Upgrade further:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

How can I install Adobe Flash Media live encoder on a G5 power pc?

Unfortunately, you can't. When FMLE was initially released in 2007, Apple had already transitioned to using Intel processors in their computers. Your PowerPC processor isn't compatible with software written for an Intel processor. From Adobe's website, the (5 year-old) FMLE v. 3.2 has these system hardware requirements for the Apple platform:
• 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
• Mac OS X v10.5.6
• 1GB of RAM
• 50MB of available hard-disk space (excludes archived FLV and F4V files)
• 1024x768 screen resolution
• QuickTime compatible audio/video capture devices
• QuickTime 7 software or later
