Cannot install Adobe Flashplayer update

I cannot play any videos off the internet on my iMac. It tells me I need to install Adobe Flash player update
I do and it appears to update successfully and then I still get the same message
Help

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Cannot Install Adobe Flashplayer 9.0.16 Using SMS 2003

We are using SMS 2003 in an enterprise environment.
We have been unable to install Flash Player V9.0.16 using
SMS.
We had the same problem with Flash Player V8.0.24, and
finally gave up.
All other SMS packages we create install without difficulty,
including applications such as Adobe Reader 7x, MS Office 2003,
etc.
The error generated by SMS is:
The program for advertisement "MNG20107" failed ("MNG00099" -
"Adobe Flashplayer 9.0.16").
A failure exit code of 1 was returned.
User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines
status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or
correlate any installation status Management Information Format
(MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to
determine status. An exit code of 1 is considered a failure.
Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the
documentation for the program you are distributing.
Attempts to search on the internet for an understanding of
this error have been unsuccessful.
Basically, we are looking for input from other SMS Admins who
have had problems installing Flash Player 9 with SMS, whether they
fixed it or not.
Hopefully, someone can provide some insight as to the nature
of the failure. I don't think its really SMS, as it generally
pushes other packages just fine. Only Flash seems to refuse to play
nice.
I am not interested in using Group Policy to push this
package, please start a seperate thread to have that discussion.
Thanks

I had the same question about what accounts were used in SMS
with advanced security. I was having a problem loading some
bluetooth drivers. Here's the reponce I got from an SMS list.
Do you have access to SMS R2? You can now use the custom
update tool for Adobe Flash.
You are correct about the Software Installation Account, it
is only for the legacy clients.
What kind of installer is the Bluetooth software using?
InstallShield?
If it is InstallShield (MSI based), I have had many problems
with InstallShield packages (MSI based) running under the SYSTEM
account, but it runs fine under my user account (which has Admin
rights). If this is the case take a look at this link:
http://community.macrovision.com/showthread.php?t=117720&page=3&pp=6
The information I'm refering to in the link is the following:
"Your probably referring to one of the many threads that
MichaelU and I had on this subject.
BTW I'd never read the document above. I've always followed a
simple approach with each release of InstallShield.
1) Install InstallScript MSI and use DCOMCNFG to determine
the AppID of the offending DCOM server.
2) Edit the ISSCRIPT.MSI to remove the RunAs registry value
of the AppID.
3) Edit the ISSCRIPT.MSI and add an entry to the
RemoveRegistry table in case the value has been previously seeded
out in the wild by a different install using the same version of
InstallShield.
4) Add the new MSI to my build environment"
Thanks,

I cannot install Adobe Shockwave Player in Firefox, works in Internet Explorer

I follow the instruction on McGraw-Hill website to install Adobe shock wave Player, but it will not install. A box pops up to abort, cannot be written. I then went to Internet Explorer and it installed fine so I could view the flash cards.

Verify that the pref dom.storage.enabled is set to true on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Cannot install Adobe FlashPlayer on my 2014 iMac

I have a 2014 iMac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 operating system. I have tried everything including calling Apple, even the supervisor doesn't know why it's not installing on my computer. I even did screen sharing with them, still no answer. I click install now on get.adobe.com/flashplayer and it downloads to my computer. I open up the download and click the icon to install flash player on my computer. Every time it gets to about 75% it stops and says Error: General installation error. Any idea how I can fix this?

You can try using the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

What do you do if you already installed the newest version of firefox and then it tells you, your OS X will not run the newest version?

Basically I have a Macbook Pro from 2007 and it is running MAC OS X 10.4.11. I have some things to fix on the computer before I am going to update the OS.
Is there anyway to download an older version of firefox? I really really really hate using safari.
Please help ASAP!!!

Hello,
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I can't download and install Adobe Flashplayer on Firefox 26.0, using Mac OSX 10.9

I am trying to view videos and i am told to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. However I cannot install the Flashplayer. Using Firefox 26.0, MacOSX 10.9 Mavericks. I know other users are having the same problem, and I have tried all the suggestions to correct the problem, to no avail. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flachplayer?

If you're having trouble downloading the installer file through the Adobe site maze, use this direct link instead:
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dmg install_flash_player_osx.dmg]
If you downloaded the file successfully but you're unable to install it, exactly what goes wrong? Have you tried everything on the following troubleshooting page?

Hello I use a macbook pro with OSX 10.9.5. I am trying to download Flash player but keep getting this message "Install Adobe Flashplayer" is damaged and can't be opened.You should eject the disk image.Any ideas please?

You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
In order to do a complete uninstall - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS

I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

: I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

: I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.
Good luck & happy computing!
