Can't Re-Install Flash Player at all and now Can't Re-install Shockwave Player

I am helping a user who states his Flash Player vanished, when trying to download the latest version we are getting:  
error message: "Installation failed. www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166"
The system is running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6. I have tried all of the troubleshooting and tips/tricks found here and via searching with Blackle. This user has to use all sorts of types of flash players to do his job and needs to get Adobe's running again. I have tried everything and he is NOT willing to reimage the pc yet. Can anyone help???

Try uninstalling Flash Player first, then do a clean install
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer.
The offline installer for Shockwave Player is here http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/Shockwave_In staller_Slim.exe

    Hi guys.
    I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
    I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop.  it was working perfectly fine before  it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
    If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
    I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
    Thank you & sorry for the long post.

    What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

    Did you enter a credit card when you created your Apple ID? If you created the ID and never entered a credit card, but used a gift card from the start, you probably didn't create the account correctly. The bottom line is that you have to enter a credit card now. You don't have to use it, but I'm assuming that's why you can't download free apps. You still need to enter the credit card because you didn't creat your Apple ID the correct way for not using a credit card.

  • I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  No error message, just -600.

    I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  Message just says 'unable to open' -600.  I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way.  What should I do?  There's nothing in Help that helps.

    Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.

    Hello Clancbelle,
    It sounds like you have a credit card saved to your Apple ID payment information and you would like it to be removed from the account and set the payment method to None. You should be able to do this with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Changing your payment information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    Changing your payment information using an iOS device
    Tap Settings on the Home screen.
    Tap iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
    Tap View Apple ID.
    Enter your Apple ID password.
    In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
    Update the information that you want to change.
    Tap the Done button when you're finished.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • HT201209 The computer insnt letting me update the new itunes. So i deleted it all and now it ses when i try to download a new one that it cant delet the old itunes ... what could i do

    The computer insnt letting me update the new itunes. So i deleted it all and now it ses when i try to download a new one that it cant delet the old itunes ... what could i do

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    If you don't have a backup make one now of all your own data, you can just drag your Documents folder to another disk, assuming that is where you keep your own data. Then erase the disk with Disk Utility by booting up holding cmd-r. Choose Disk Utility > Erase tab from the screen that is presented. Then install from your SL disk.

  • My iPod says I have music "already on this device" even though I deleted it all, and now I can't sync anything onto it from my computer

    So my 5th generation iPod is almost maxed out with storage, and so to save space, I deleted all the music I had downloaded in the Music app and I use Spotify to listen to all my music now. Not all music is on Spotify though, so there is one song that I want to add onto my iPod. The problem is that when I link my iPod to my computer it says that there are 154 songs already on the device, when there is no music on the device. I deleted it all, and when I go onto the Music app, it even says that there is no content. Whenever I am on the iPod menu on my computer, and I go on the Music tab, I have it selected to only sync selected playlists, artists, and etc.The only music that I have selected is the one song I want to sync, and it says that it will only sync one song. I keep trying to sync the one song, but for some reason it includes the other 154 songs, which I don't have the space for. It won't let me sync anything because of that. I just don't get why it says I have 154 songs on my iPod when I don't, and I don't know how to get rid of them. I thought that when you clicked an option and hit apply, that it would just replace everything on your iPod, but that isn't happening here. I'm just confused as to why it isn't letting me simply sync one song!
    Thanks!

    You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
    You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
    http://dl.i-funbox.com/
    to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
    Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • Updated to the latest Flash on my iMac and now it's crashing on Mozilla. Restarted my computer and it didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Just updated to the latest Flash and now it's saying for the last 2 days that Flash has crashed on my Firefox on my iMac. It was working fine before then. It wasn't working at first on my Safari either after the update but after closing the browser and reopening it, Flash was working. I tried the same thing with Firefox and even tried shutting the computer off and it still doesn't work. After uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, of which I had the latest version before it was uninstalled, Flash still doesn't work. It doesn't work for games, videos, etc, even when trying to look at the Adobe website, it still says that it's crashed. I called Adobe and they said that it's not an Adobe product problem, but a browser problem. Any suggestions?

    You updated from Flash 12 to Flash 13.0.0.182, correct?
    IF it is the same thing, as seems likely, it would appear to be a known issue only affecting some Macs and the work around is to downgrade by using an uninstaller and reinstall the older versions

    '''Adobe Update 4/10'''<br>
    We have determined that this problem is due to a compiler update in our build infrastructure that exposed a long-standing bug in a Mac system library. Flash Player now attempts to use CPU instructions that are not available on a subset of supported Mac hardware from 2006 to 2007. None of the machines in our compatibility labs are affected, so the issue didn't show up in our testing, but we were able to track down a machine that reproduces the issue yesterday. We're actively working on a fix and I'll update this post again once we have more information.

  • I have 51 apps that were indicated need for updating.  Clicked update all and now there is only a very slow progression thru the apps.  Why so slow?  Should apps be updated one at a time?

    I have 51 apps that needed updating.  I clicked update all and then they began to very slowly update.  Very slow. Is this usual?  Should I update one app at a time and do I really need to do all this updating all the time?  It's time consuming or am I doing something wrong?

    51 apps is a lot, it could take time.  It also depends on the local network and how busy it is.  Many users have complained today that they can access contacts, calendars, and/or email - maybe there are server problems right now (and today is the big Apple announcements, so things may be in flux).
    When I have a lot of apps to update, I do it using iTunes on my mac.

  • De-authorizing. Can you de-authorize all and now lose all content from CDs?

    I was wondering if you hit the "de-authorize all computers" button on iTunes store, will it erase all your memory on the computers? Or the downloaded CD content? Because I can't afford to lose all my CD content in my iTunes library.

  • HT1557 10.9.2 update won't update on my imac 2010 at all, and now my computer won't shutdown or restart without a hard boot.  Did anyone have this same problem and figure out how to fix it?

    So for the past few weeks I've been trying to update the 10.9.2 update on my imac (2010 - 21.5 inch) and when I attempt to try to update the software my screen goes grey with a Software Updater top bar the shows up on the top of the grey screen and then just quits doing anything (except the screen saver which works after nothing else happens - and that shows you how long I've been waiting for the grey screen to magically do something.  I've attempted downloading the software update then installing it but the same thing happens.  I don't think any of my 3rd party software is the cause of this and i'd rather not uninstall the programs since the update won't even do anything.  Utility is telling me nothing but the usual ARD element unable to be modified.
    With the several failed attempts at installing this update (probably around 15x) my computer will not shutdown nor restart on command anymore.  The only way I can shut it down is holding the power button.
    I used to have so much faith in Apple products and used to be a devoted user, but since Jobs passed away the direction of Apple has gone down the toilet.

    Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply.  Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself.  I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues. 
    This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative.  This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved.  I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question. 
    BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.}  No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you. 
    So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
    Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.
