Can't update flash on my Mac

Hi.
I can't update flash player on my mac os x 10.4. As a result, I can't watch youtube videos because youtube is using the new flash plugin.
Any suggestions?

Does your operating system support Virtual Machines such as VMWare Fusion?  If so, then you could purchase a copy of that and a copy of Windows 7 (You can't install a Mac OSX onto a Virtual Machine, Apple restricts the use of VMWare with OSX, unless Apple makes its own proprietary virtual machine that can boot other versions of Mac OS (older and newer versions, that is)).  With Windows 7 installed in the virtual machine you can then use the latest version of the Flash Plugin (I would assume that to be true but it's only an educated guess).

  • Can't update flash on Mac

    I have tried at least a dozen times to update Flash on my Mac.  It says it's updated, but when I go to try to use it, I get the 'update' screen again!
    What gives?

    Moved to
    Uninstall Flash Player and download a new copy. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    Technically, you can download and install without uninstalling.

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • 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

    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.

  • How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

    I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

    HI Judy...
    You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
    Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

  • Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store

    Can't update daisy disk from Mac App Store!! What can i do? AppStore wrote You must login in to @@@@mail, but I login to my account!

    You must sign in to the App Store with the Apple ID you used to install the app. If you don't recognize the ID, see below.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Cannot update flash 15 on Mac. Password window is blank

    Hello All,
    I am trying to update flash on my mac (OS 10.9.5 with Safari V 7.1). The window where I would normally enter my username/password has no text and is unresponsive (see screenshot). I cannot enter my information. I tried running the uninstaller as well, and ran into the same issue. Any ideas? I'm a linux person, and relatively new to mac. I'm not sure if this an issue with Adobe or with mac.

    I haven't seen this before.  My primarily machine is the same config.  This prompt is thrown by the operating system, which makes it really odd.
    If you haven't tried it, reboot your machine and run the installer again. 
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM on your mac:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    Let me know how it goes.

  • How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?

    How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?  I keep getting update messages.  I go throught the download and install process but there is no option to un-check installing Chrome.  I don't want Chrome. I'm not asking for Chrome.  I just want to update Flash.

    There are a few threads around here with this same issue, and as far as I know Adobe has not addressed it adequately.  Many of us, when we are prompted with an update for Flash, are not given the option to opt out of installing google toolbar and google chrome.
    Adobe is playing cute, pretending to be surprised at such reports.  They always demand screenshots of it, and then ignore them when the screenshots are posted. Then demand screenshots in the next thread with the same issue, feigning surprise that such an isue could occur. Sometimes they insist it isnt happening or it is somehow user error (as if it is user error to simply allow the update from their app to install after getting the update message from their app!  )
    The problem , in my case, was that the update goes to a URL that autoselects chrome and toolbar.  I found if I manually edited the URL, that it would not automatically install chrome and toolbar.
    Basically the URL has to be manually edited , so take out the " &a=Google_Toolbar_7.4&a=Google_Chrome_22.0_IE_Browser " at the end AND the "&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=true" bit in the middle.  Then it will give you the opt-out. Then do make sure to uncheck the box, obviously    And it is obvious that the users are not doing this on purpose, this is built into Adobe's updater, somewhere.   I went into a little more detail in   http://forums.adobe.com/message/5274050

  • Update flash player on mac os x 10.5.8

    i have a mac os x 10.5.8 and i am trying to update flash player but every time i try i get a message saying it requires 10.6 or higher. how can i update my flash player??

    Running Leopard you can't. What you have is as far as it will go.
    Leopard was the last build Mac released that was a "Universal Binary". In other words, it would run on PowerPC or Intel Processors. Once Snow Leopard was released, Adobe stopped deveopment on Universal binary builds of Flash Player.
    I know it seems like just another "money grab" by Apple and Adobe trying to force everyone to buy a new Operating System, but the entire industry has moved away from the old Apple architecture and software for it.

  • I can't download flash on my Mac

    Hello nicoles1972,
    The 'blocked plug-in' message means plugins are blocked and need to be enabled in Safari > Preferences > Security (exact path may be different in OS X 10.6/Safari 5.1).

  • Can not install flash player on Mac

    I was informed by shutter fly that I needed to update flash player. After a couple of hours and several different attempts I was unsuccessful. I have since uninstalled flash player and tried to re-install to no avail. I am running OSX 10.9.5 and safari 7.0.6. When I run the regular install from website I click on the install now tab (step 1 of 3) and then am taken to another page that says initializing with a long blue bar (step 2 of 3). Very briefly am I then presented  with some instructions to go to download folder, etc. I have tried this probably 50 times and can never read the instructions fast enough. It then takes me to a black screen. I have also tried the offline option and it also takes me to a black screen. I have checked my download folder and there is never anything in there related to flash player. Please help!!

    Download the offline installer here:http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
    This is what I got.....
