Do I have to download OS X on my mac desktop in order to get adobe flash player?

I am trying to download adobe flash player onton my imac.  Everytime I try to download adobe flash player, this message comes up "adobe flash player 2.exe because microsoft windows applications are not supported on OS X."  Do I have to purchase the OS X application ($19.99)? 

You need to download the Mac OS X version of Flash and not the Windows version.

    If i do this then there is nothing left to load.
    I tried to save it to my desktop but then itt says no active thread foun
    d. How do I load it without my Internet being open and a
    dobe site up and running when it tells me to close them?

    Thanks the address you gave me gave me what I needed but still had alot of trouble with the game. Come to find out it was my browser IE8 that was causing all the problem. So I changed to google chrome and loaded the regular version of Flash player and have been able to get on the game. Now i have trouble with my plugins can you send me a link to find Adobe flash player plugin 9.0.124.0?

    Hi,
    Could you download the appropriate version of the installer from the following page?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580?tstart=0
    Once downloaded, please quit all of your browsers and launch the installer.  If it still fails, please restart your system and try again.  Let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,

  • In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

  • Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and I am unable to get Adobe flash player to work. When I install it says it has been installed. Where should I see that it is installed. Where do I find it?

    Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and I am unable to get Adobe flash player to work. When I install it it says it has been installed. But where do I see the application that it is there?

    Check your system preferences.
    My copy of flash installed as a preferance pane.
    If its there you will be able to check the current installed version and set preferences for flash and updating.

  • Can't get adobe flash player to regester once I have downloaded it using window xp

    I can't get my adobe flash player to run once downloading it.

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS WORKED. WOW!!! This past weekend I have spent more hours than I care to remember to get Flash Player 13 installed on my Windows XP computer. I am computer savay...but this was a total enigma for me. I followed the Adobe trouble shooting page and tried everything to a T. No good! I even tried a posting on the MS Community where I downloaded an Adobe uninstall program, then rebooted my computer, then downloaded a "SubInAcl" program to a folder and then downloaded a "reset_fp10.zip" file to the the same folder...clicked on this .bat file and ran the SubInAcl file...then tried to download Flash Player at the Adobe website...and got the same error message..."Failed to Install." This was a half hour ago...after trying last Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday...and today. Then it dawned on me as a last resort to try this Adobe Forum. It is beyond me why on the Adobe Troubleshooting installation web page that there was no mention of this simple solution...or I did not see it.  I have spent hours searching the Internet and found no such solution as yours...running the "Flash Player 13 MSI Installer."  I can't thank you enough after hours and hours and hours of trying to fix this problem...lo and behold...YOUR RECOMMENDATION WAS THE FIX. Thank you so much. I am most appreciative.

  • HT1338 have mac os x 10.5.8 Adobe flash player wont update without 10.6 version, when i hit update software says i have latest.

    I have been having a problem for the last week.  Use pogo.com and it wanted me to update the Adobe Flash Player to play 1/2 the games on the site.  When I updated it said needed os x version 10.6 or higher for latest version.  Currently have os x 10.5.8 when I hit update software it says that I have the latest version of software and doesn't update.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

    Hi, did you use the Adobe Uninstaller first from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Read over the instructions and make sure to follow them. You might also read the troubleshooting instructions also.
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us
    Running as Administrator, security settings, Firewalls and anti-virus programs all have a bearing on installing Flash Player, so be sure to read the information contained in the above links.

  • Trying to get adobe flash player to download and work.

    my system runs win 7 and internet explorer 11 i have satillilite internt through  dish (dish net) . .i also have firefox too.  keeps telling me to update flash player. but won't. is there a way i can get a disk or something to download from? getting very ticked at this problem.    [email protected]

    Download and run the installers from
    Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
    Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

  • I have firefox 3.6.12 and every time it asks me to instal adobe flash player it gets to a screen that tells me that it will be installed when the conflicting application firefox is closed

    Once I have closed firefox it will load the latest version of flash player but this will turn up in the internet explorer software but will not load the plu in into firefox which is my preferred browser. Hence all programs requiring this send me into a loop of frustration.

    There are two versions of Flash, one for IE ''(the ActiveX version)'' and one for all other browsers, the Plugin version. You need to install the Plugin version, in addition to the ActiveX version - both should appear in Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    { Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • I have macos yosemite 10.10.2 and cannot get adobe flash player to install.

    after installing Yosemite, Flash player will not install. I have tried uninstalling all flash players and rebooting twice. No effect. The symptom is that the progress bar for the install says it is downloading and it stops progressing at 30%. Any ideas?

    HI ,
    Please try using the offline installer :-

  • I downloaded Day One on my Mac desktop - how can I get it to show

    I have downloaded the app Day One on my Mac dekstop - how can i get it to show on my Macbook Air?
    On the icloud on my Macbook Air?  When I open Icloud on both devices the only icons I have are  mail, contact, calendar, notes, reminders, fine my imac and iwork.  I have no icon for apps or photos.

    Choose Home from the Finder’s Go menu. If you see it there, drag it to the right of the Dock’s dividing line. If not, make a new folder and name it Downloads.

    I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.
