Can't update or install Flash plugin on my iMac

Was asked in Safari 7.1 to update my flash plugin. OK, no big deal, I do it all the time. Only this time it gives me an error every time. I tried several ties including complete clean installs.
Solutions? I need the plugin for a website I need to access. I realize I can just use Chrome instead but I like to use Safari for this website so I can let it play in the background while I use Chrome for my main browsing.

If a complete uninstall/reinstall isn't working, then try booting into safe mode and doing the uninstall/reinstall.

To boot into Safe mode, just restart your mac, and hold Shift until it starts loading.  You'll know it's working because you'll get a loading bar, and it will take a *really* long time to boot up.  Once you're in, try the steps again.  Once you've installed successfully (or you run into a failure again), reboot again to get back into normal mode.
My thought is that something that runs in the background has an embedded WebKit instance that's keeping Flash busy.  If rebooting in Safe Mode does the job, then we'd be interested in looking at anything you might be running that you think could be a candidate.

  • As prompted by Firefox, I updated my Adobe Flash plugin. Now I have no sound for any Internet site. Any ideas?

    I updated the Adobe Flash plugin this morning. I have tried turning the computer off and powering back up with no difference. My volume controls are not muted and volume is not affected in non-Internet applications.

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
    You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • I have an eMac. 1.25 GHz Power PC G4. OS 10.5.8.  Why can't I find a Flash Plugin that will run my videos on Facebook etc?

    I have an eMac. 1.25 GHz Power PC G4. OS 10.5.8.
    Why can’t I find a Flash Plugin that will run my videos on Facebook etc?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work

  • IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps.

    Since installing IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps. Touching the buttons to install causes nothing to happen. I now have 8 pending app updates that I can't do anything with. What's the solution?

    Hi, I'm having a similar issue updating apps. My phone is currently stating there are 4 updates available, but when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, nothing appears. Just a blank screen.
    I have tried updating on different wifi networks, restoring the phone from a backup, signing out &amp; in to the App Store again, but it still won't download updates. As it stands the only way I can update is via pc (I haven't tried this yet but sure it will work.....).
    I have seen various posts on the forums with the same or similar problems, but ALL suggestions on these have failed as well.
    Any ideas would've appreciated.

  • Can't update after install Yosemite

    can't update after install Yosemite

    Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
    This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.

    Not too sure there's a way to turn flash off temporarily. You
    will have to uninstall it and then reinstall it when you want it
    again.

    You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
    There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
    Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

  • I can't update or install new application on my iPad 2, please what can I do to solve this problem

    I Can't update or install new application on my iPad 2 with retina displa running on iOS 8.1.2.

    Hello, DGVLIMITED. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need clarification on what exact issue you are experiencing and any errors when attempting to update applications to provide a better answer.  However, try updating applications individually.  This could be a capacity limitation when updating all at once.  Also, try restarting the device.  If these steps do not resolve the issue, try the remaining steps in the article below.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
