Cannot download new adobe flash player upgrade

I just tried to download the newest Adobe Flash Player Upgrade by going to the Adobe website. The Adobe Flash Player Installer appeared in my downloads file. But when I double click it I get a Mac warning window opens that says "Can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store." When I go to the Mac App store and search for Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't exist there. How do I get it or is there another way to be able to watch video on the internet especially from sites like you tube and vimeo, but also sometimes on other sites. Do I have to keep the older version indefinitly and risk not getting security updates?

    System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Unlock the lock, if you have to.
    Allow apps downloaded from:
    Select “Mac App store and identified developers”.
    Quit System Preferences and try.

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.
    See the attached page for reference.

  • Cannot install new adobe flash player, download tells me to turn firefox off, i can't figure out how to do this. i get this message even when i try from your request to upload new program. karen miller

    please help i found some info but it's too high tech for me to understand example go taskmaster>processes tab exit firefox.exe. can't even figure out where this is! if firefox is going to control upgrades then there should be a less frustrating way to achieve this!!! please advise my next step is uninstall firefox & use another internet program.

    Firefox must not be open when the Flash installer is run. Use the following information and instructions.....
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

  • Cannot download/install adobe flash player

    Having issues downloading the newest version of flash player,  When visiting hulu I'm told to download the newest version.  I visit the download page, even after verifiying I already have the newest version, I then attempted to uninstall and then reinstall but still not working.  I've tried through both IE and Firefox, IE says it cannot be downloaded and Firefox downloads but wont install.
    I''m not very comouter savvy so any help avasilable would be nice, in language I can understand:)
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Ash. I would try first making sure that everything you have in the way of Flash player right this minute is totally uninstalled on your PC, that is if you are using a PC. Go to control panel uninstall programs find that thing & zap it. Also if you are using Internet explorer & Firefox then you may have a problem with Firefox trying to but in with the download. For some reason Firefox doesn't always play nice with certain downloads like printer drivers, software updates & things like that. Not sure why. I suggest you uninstall Firefox as well, before you download Flash . You can always re-install it if you like it. I love Google Chrome myself but go with what your comfortable with. Once you have these done go back to the download page & make sure your download is for the 64 bit version of Flash player. First things first get rid of the flash player you have on there now & dump Firefox. Go to control panel find these two & uninstall.  Write me back if need to.

  • Re:Difficulty to Download/Install Adobe Flash Player! Please help me out!

    I cannot download/install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Browser and I really need it to stream local National TV Channel for news etc etc.and I couldn't find it on Google Play neither
    I have been trying for a long time but cannot manage on my own so would appreciate it very much if you could help me sort this out to finally manage to download/install Latest Adobe Flash Player. As a matter of fact I have been using your Browser as default one on my laptop for quite a long time and I had never found it difficult to install the Adobe Flash Player there or even update it from time to time! Really cannot understand why I'm finding all this difficulty now to install on my Samsung S4 device which I bought very recently! Again thanks for helping me out and please explain to me in simple language what steps to take to finally manage to install this blessed Adobe Flash Player! Wishing you as always the BEST for future Success for Mozilla Browser & thanks very much for the latest Version of a fantastic browser. Fondest regards to all The Team at Mozilla!

    Adobe no longer supports Flash on Android. Adobe doesn't recommend this (this versions have vulnerabilities) but if you really want it, you can try installing an old version from their archives - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player%20archives (you'll have to scroll down to find the Android versions).

  • I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

    I have always been able to watch videos on line.  Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos.  When I try to download it won't do it. 

    Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
    16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
    There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
    Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    IMO 10.6  would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
    So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8. 
    Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

  • I'm frustrated that I cannot get the adobe flash player to successfully download on my computer.

    I am frustrated with the failure to download latest adobe flash player. Viewing video is mostly impossible on most things I try, and I am ready to give up soon, and buy a Mac. What does this keep happening???

    Please provide more details about your sytem and browser and the error message your are getting on your computer.

  • I cannot open without adobe flash player, is there a work around?

    I cannot open without adobe flash player is there a work around?

    Go to the App Store and download a browser app like Puffin, which will give you some Flash ability.  Check the App store to see if the site you are trying to watch the video from has an App. 

  • Download of adobe flash player

    I can't download the latest version of flash player, because a script always misses. Can you help me?
    I think the adobe flash player download doesn't work.
    Thank you for helping me.

    Thank you very much for helping me.
    In the first, I wish you a merry and happy New Year.
    I'm from Italy and I'm living in Turin. If you come to Italy, I can show
    you my Country in her hidden beauty, in my spare time from work. I'm on
    Facebook as "ester giuditta".
    About my troubles in Informatics:
    I kept a Flash Player reader 11 a few minutes ago, but it is without size
    and date in the computer panel control and, when I go to YouTube, at the
    beginning I read: "you need the new version of Adobe Flash Player", but
    then the video starts at the same.
    In another platform, a FAD type, I can't see anything (in the past I could
    by my old Flash Player).
    About your very important questions:
    1. Windows XP pro
    2. Internet Explorer (perhaps 9)
    3. I don't remember very well. I saw different messages about objects
    and missing scripts.
    I beg your pardon for my English.

  • Can't download free Adobe Flash Player - Help

    I tried to download free Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Reader (is the same) and appears in the screen the following message:
    "GetPlus+(R) The specified software requires a recent version of windows" and I can't proceed with instalation. I have already done a virus verification with Kasperky and it's OK. I have Windows XP (SP3) and Internet Explorer 7.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi, Don't use that DLM(download manager) since it can cause a problem.
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
    Disable any Realtime Anti-Virus until you have finished Uninstalling and Installing Flash Player
    Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Check to make sure the Anti-Virus is still Disabled
    Run the Installer for IE,  and when finished, Reboot.
    Re-enable your Anti-Virus
    Then go to this test site and test each browser:

    You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.
