Cannot upgrade Flash Player via Safari - help!

Good evening Mac Bods.
My PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz is running OS 10.3.7 Panther with Safari. I cannot watch any Flash videos (You Tube etc) and wanted to upgrade from Flash Player 7 to Flash Player 9 but after I use the uninstall, all new installations fail - message says "Verification failed". How do I fix this please? Any ideas gratefully received.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
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/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
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.

Cannot upgrade Flash Player from 11.8.800.94 to 11.8.800.174

I have Flash Player 11.8.800.64 on Windows 8 on my laptop. I want to upgrade to 11.8.800.174 but I cannot because when I try to a screen comes up saying it is unnecessary to install.
I cannot watch videos because the screen is always green. Everyone is telling me to adjust the video settings but I cannot. THERE ARE NO VIDEO SETTINGS AVAILABLE WHEN I RIGHT CLICK. The only settings are Privacy, Local Storage, Microphone, and Camera. I don't know why. In all the help videos there is another option for video but it does not exist for me when I right click. Frustrating.
Also, I am in Desktop mode, not Modern mode. I watched that unhelpful video three times.
I used to be able to watch videos fine but now I cannot watch any at all and nothing has changed. Strange.
I want to upgrade but cannot. Mainly I just want to watch videos without the green screen.

Flash Player on Windows 8 is updated by Windows Update.
Regarding "green" screen; that usually indicates an outdated graphics driver; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Using Yosemite 10.1.1 with Safari browser

this is the answer I found on Mac support forums that worked right away. The old flash player plug in was not removed by the new installer. copied to give post person credit.

Re: safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in)
Jul 26, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to defconnect5)
I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
However, I did see two versions of Flash:
_Flash Player.plugin with old date
Flash Player.plugin with todays date
I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

I still cannot upgrade Flash Player.

It's been over two months since I first posted a question on this forum and I am still unable to download the Flash Player upgrade from 10.1.102.64 to 11.?. I have an Intel Core II Duo running Mac OS 10.6.8 (64 bit). None of the suggestions received have worked, although most recommendations I receive are for Windows opperating systems. I tried uninstalling FP months ago, but since some of the programs I need and use regularly do not operate without some version of FP I am not willing to do that again.
It would be nice if someone could help as a number of things using the newer version are not available to me. Am I the only one with this problem?

After a day away from the computer I uploaded some photos taken today and subsequently accepted a recommendation for some updates and restarting of my computer. Immediately after doing so I noticed a note flash across the screen that Adobe Flash Player was out of date and was being deleted, or something to that effect. I now no longer have any version of Flash Player on my Mac laptop and am unable once again to utilize one of my programs which required a version of Flash Player to perform one of its functions which I regularly use.
It has been months since I first posted a notice of my problem. Again, my situation may be completely different from any others who are having problems, but not only can I not download the newest version of Flash Player, but now Adobe is taking away my ability to utilize another program for which I paid a significant amount of money which that developer depended on the continued support of your program for me to utilize their software.
Why can you not help me download your latest version of Flash Player?

Cannot upgrade flash player in Firefox on XP

I am running XP Pro SP3. I primarily use Firefox 3.6.8 for all of my web browsing. Firefox currently has flash player 9,0,28,0 installed, according to Adobe's page which tells you which version you are running. I have tried several times to upgrade to the newest version of flash. Each time I try it appears as if the install goes well but every time I go back to check on Adobe's page it tells me I'm still running the old version. I have tried uninstalling my current flash using Adobe's uninstaller several times but I just cannot seem to get the newest version installed again. I'm just about ready to throw this laptop right out the window. Anyone have any suggestions?
By the way, my computer is also running IE 7.0.5730.11 with flash player 10,1,53,64 installed. Just can't seem to get the most up-to-date player on Firefox!!!
Thanks,
Cordy

FINALLY! I finally got around to taking your suggestions and digging out some information. Below I have attached your original questions with my answers in red. Please take a look and let me know if the answers might give you a clue to what is going on with my computer. Also, please let me know if any of my answers are not clear enough or if you just need to know more.
Thanks!!
Hi, well I think we need to see what is Installed and what isn't. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open the\
Flash folder and post back all files listed there. Any NPSWF files you will need to right click on then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.
Flash10h.ocx
FlashInstall.log
Flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe
FlashUtil10h_Plugin.exe
NPSWF32.dll (version 10.1.53.64)
Using FF(Firefox) look for the SWF vs(number) plug-in and is should be enabled. I need the number.
There are actually 2 SWF plugins in FF: one is 10.1.53.64 (enabled) and the other is 9.0.28.0 (disabled)
Using IE go to Tools, Manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...Flash10h.ocx and it should be listed that way and Enabled.
It is listed that way and enabled.
What Anti-Virus do you use, name and version number needed. Does it have a Firewall and if not do you use any other Firewall than Windows?
Using AVG for Anti-virus – version 9.0.851. Not currently using any Firewall.
Are you the Administrator and are you making sure you are using that account to Uninstall/Install?
I am the admin and that is the account I was using for the all install/uninstall work.
Do you use adblock in FF or do you have any pop up blocker software Installed?
Not using any sort of pop-up or ad blocker.
In Tools, Internet Options under the Security Tab make sure it is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
It is.
During anytime when Installing for IE or FF, did you use the DLM(download manager)? If so go to Add/Remove and see if the DLM or a getplus is listed there.
Sorry. I wasn’t sure to what DLM you were referring here. Are you talking about the Add/Remove Programs option in the Control Panel or something within IE or FF?

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)

Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer

Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4).
I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy a new computer at this time.
> Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??

Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years.

Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

I've got OS X 10.9.2, Maverick, running on my iMac, and Safari 7.0.3.
Today I upgraded Flash Player to 13.0.0.182 version.
After upgrading I starting receiving the error message "Plug-in Failure" in every page I opened with video broadcasting, such as Youtube for instances, and no videos would be displayed anymore.
I already reinstalled Flash Player, rebooted my machine, have all plug-ins enabled in Safari Preferences, but no success whatsoever.
Think the solution could be downgrading to the early version of Flash Player, but have no idea how to do that now, since the Adobe site only allows me to UPgrade and not DOWNgrade.
Could anyone help me with this?
Many Thanks...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, current Flash Player version 11.6.602.180), but each time that I download the installer and run it, there is a "General installation error" soon after starting the "Installing" phase.
Each time, the installer completes the "Creating Install" and "Downloading" phases, but soon after starting the "Installing" phase, an error occurs "Error: General installation error" and Safari is opened tohttp://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=30&type=inst all&appid=500
Is it unusual for another "Install Adobe Flash Player" app to open? When the "Installing" phase begins, a second flash installer box icon appears in the dock, but then closes immediately and then the first installer shows the "Error: General installation error" page.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

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
Thanks,

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

Upgrade Flash-player

I have been having trouble upgrading my Adobe Flash-player for Safari.
The problem is that it only downloads to 25% and then it just freeze and when i stop the download i get re-directed to Adobe´s download page.

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Enter this address in the Safari address bar manually.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts. Install Flash Player.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.

Can't Install Flash Player on Safari OS 10.3.9

Hi. I recently reinstalled my system software on my iBook G3,
and I've been trying to install the latest Flash Player for Safari
1.3.2 running on OS 10.3.9. Non Intel. I have tried downloading and
installing quite a few times. But no plug in is showing up in my
Installed Plug In window, and it's definitely not installed. I
tried running the uninstaller and reinstalling but I'm getting
nowhere. Can anyone help? Is there something missing from my system
that I might have missed when doing a reinstall of my OS a few days
ago?

Thanks Melophage for the help! After consulting apple care (for the 2nd time), we were able to resolve the issue without going to adobe tech support as a last resort. I used the uninstaller to be sure all adobe components were removed from my mac. Then, we reinstalled the OS (without erasing). Don't know why the installer was hanging on me, but the fresh reinstall did the trick and solved the problem.
I appreciate your insight again! Take care!
