Cannot Install Flash - MAC

Hi I have a Mac, running OS X Mavericks, and I cannot install the latest Adobe Flash software. I have followed all the guidelines, including uninstalling and attempting to reinstall Flash, each with no progress. The installer downloads fine and installs with the bar until 5% where the bar stops and I get an error, saying Connection Error. Please can you help as I need Flash.

Hi HaroonSharif,
Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.

Cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11

Hello,
I cannot install flash version 10.1.0 onto a mac 10.4.11 and therefore cannot use YouTube or the BBCIplayer. Is there a compatability problem?

I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5. The progress bar show is as downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed. But it's not. I get another Adobe Flash installer icon on my desktop instead. Help!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
First, remove Adobe Flash Player completely using Flash Player uninstaller for MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player (MAC) from here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
Once the file is downloaded, run the installer

OS X 10.6.4 - Cannot Install Flash 10.1 nor can I uninstall Flash 9,0,151,0

I cannot install the newest Flash on my system.
I have tried the following;
Installing Flash - Everything appears to download and install but it doesn't...
Uninstalling the current version - The application says the version is removed yet it is still on my system...
I've actually closed all running processes using 'activity monitor, again, no luck!
I tried re-installing OS X Snow Lep... that didn't do anything...
Is there a list of files I can remove manually?? Or anything else I can do??

The files for Flash on a Mac should be in /Library/Internet Plug-ins. (Be sure to look in the Library folder at the top level of the boot drive, not the one in a user's home folder.) In my Mac I see two files: Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt.

Cannot install Flash Player on Windows 7 64 Bit

Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit). Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed. Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player. Says none exist. Any suggestions?

Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
- Update it
- Download it
- Install it
- Reinstall it
from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
"Use another browser"
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Help! Cannot install Flash Player 11 on 10.8.5

Hello - I am now desparate having checked both Adobe and Apple forums as I have tried to upgrade Flash on my Imac Mountain Lion 10.8.5 (Safari 6.1) and continually get General Installation errors. I have followed every thread that I can find on this (including the classic how to do a clean install of Flash) and cannot get past 55% installation before it crashes. This happens every time without fail.
Done a clean install of Mountain Lion, switched accounts and nothing works. Simply cannot download Flash.
if anyone can help that would be amazing!
Thanks
matt

Odds are, you inadvertently deleted the mach_kernel file that the 10.8.5 update made visible.
That's been the cause of the "General Installation Error" since the update was released.
See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1318151 for instructions and a download that may help.
Many people have had to reinstall their OS, but some were able to remedy it by downloading and installing OS 10.9 (it's free, so it couldn;t hurt to try if the other fix doesn't work)

Cannot install flash player partially uninstalled

Dear community members,
I successfully installed Flash Player back in April. It was working well until a couple of weeks ago, when video clips wouldn't work sometimes, but did with a bit of coaxing. The sites affected were - Facebook, Iview (TV), Youtube,and my bank's website. The same applied when playing games. The situation has now degraded to the extent that I cannot access any of the sites listed, and get video/voice.
I downloaded the instructions to uninstall, and downloaded the .exe file and ran it (no problems). However, the instructions said to delete files in the system32\Macromed\flash directory, but when I tried to I was told I didn't have the right privileges. I have administrator rights. How higher can one Go?
I tried to install again, only to be told that Flash Player is already installed. How do I fix Flash Player, when I cannot uninstall or install it? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Gazza

You have Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 installed already.

Cannot install Flash Player without a password and I don't have one.

I cannot seem to install Flash Player without a password and I do not have one. What to do?

The password that's being requested (required) is your user account password ON YOUR SYSTEM (not for Adobe). You CANNOT install without an administrator account, and you CANNOT set up an administrator account without a password.
