Cannot update Flash Player 16 to MacBook Pro 10.8

I have all of the prerequisites for updating Adobe Flash Player 16 onto my MacBook Pro 10.8.5. After WEEKS of trying every so-called "solution" I could find, I am still unable to complete the update. I have now solved the sign-in problem, I can "initialize" the process, I can locate the Installer in my Downloads folder, I respond "yes" to the download, I type in my password when prompted in the box about "wanting changes", then click "ok", but I can get no further: the box simply jiggles back and forth. Every "help" prompt sends me back through the same series of "solutions" I have tried again and again. I am not the most sophisticated computer-user, but I can follow clear instructions. I really do not respect a company which does not have a way for a customer to directly contact them when he/she has reached a deadend over and over.  This problem is not just about my installing Adobe; I cannot  use Weightwatchers, Instagram, You tube, and several other web functions without the update. Please help!

It sounds like the password you're entering is being rejected.
This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • Flash Player on MacBook Pro

    Hello: I tried to install Flash 8 Player on MacBook Pro and it did not work. Then, I realized because maybe it's not Universal, it won't work. Does anyone know if you can install the Flash Player on MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance for your advice.

    The special version of the Flash plug-in supplied with Intel-Macs can be restored by extracting a fresh copy from the installer disc. You will need to download Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com) and use it to extract a fresh copy of the Flash plug-in from the file archive on the installer DVD.
    Please read the following about other possible incompatibilities:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    Be sure to verify with developer or from information on download sites whether software is a universal binary. Many of the incompatible products currently in use will likely be updated in time.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

  • Cannot update Flash player on Mavericks or Yosemite?

    I have tried to update Flash Player on my MacBook Pro for both Mavericks and Yosemite, but it always gives me this message:
    How can I successfully install flash player?

    As I have stated previously, this does not work. There is no tool to uncompress the plugin inside the bundle. Installation fails on Yosemite every time, no matter what installer is used.
    Please read this thread to examine my findings.

  • Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

    Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

    Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
    Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
    Happy computing!

  • How to download adobe flash player onto MacBook pro

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to download adobe flash player onto my new MacBook Pro with retina display please?
    I don't know what operating system it has?

    If you've a new Retina display MacBook Pro, it probably shipped with Mavericks - you can confirm this by going to the Apple on the menu bar and selecting "About This Mac...." if it says system 10.9 or 10.9.1, you're on Mavericks.
    To install Flash Player, you must first download it from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. After the download is complete, you should have a file with a .dmg extension in your Downloads folder. Double-click this file and it will 'mount' as if it is a disk. There will be a 'package' inside and you must double-click this to actually install Flash Player.
    Once Flash Player is installed, restart your computer and then open your browser. You should now be able to view Flash content.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Cannot download Flash CC on MacBook Pro Retina running Mavericks

    I have a subscription to Creative Cloud; even though Photoshop CC can be downloaded and installed, Flash CC cannot.
    It is not listed in creative cloud panel running on my machine, only Flash CS6 is available.
    - I tried to login to Creative Cloud website using chrome and click on the download link for Flash CC, but it did not work.
    - I had tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and run the Cloud Cleaner tool, but it did not help.
    I'm running Maverick on a MacBook Pro with Retina display (intel Core i7). I have plenty of space on my disk, and as far as i can tell, the machine meets all Flash CC requirements.
    This is also the same with illustrator.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I did
    uninstall all creative cloud apps,
    uninstall creative cloud,
    run cleaner tool
    and then reinstall creative cloud.
    When I open creative cloud panel, only Flash CS6 is on the list.
    I have been doing this process for 5 times now, including today attempt.
    I tried to go in adobe website and install it via the link
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash
    The link open Creative Cloud Panel and do nothing.
    I have the same issue with illustrator CC.
    It is strange that I do not have the same issue with Photoshop CC.
    Any further assistance would be much appreciated.

  • Cannot update Flash Player from version 14

    I'm unable of updating or removing Flash Player 14 from my computer. I have installed version 16 aswell, but swf files still run in version 14. In Flash Professional, I am unable to export HTML wrappers to other flash versions than 14.
    I cannot find it at the list of installed applications either. This is really frustrating as I suspect my applications would perform better in newer versions.

    Local swf files use the standalone player (Projected), not the Flash Player plugin.
    You can download the latest Projector from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the file association manually.

  • Cannot update flash player

    when I try to update my flash player at 47% downloaded I get error message "cannot contact reliable source"   I've been told to uninstall my flash player and try to download the newer version, but the old one works and I am afraid I will still not be able to download the newer one.  I keep being asked to download the newer version and keep getting the error, it is maddening.  Is there anything short of dynamite that will move this to a level at which something useful happens?

    Your security system is aptly named. Primarily because it's "F'd".
