Downloading flash installer hangs at 30% then fails every time

Hello, I am running a 2012 MBP retina. I download the latest version but the installer pauses for a minute while downloading (at the 30% mark), then fails. "Connection Failed. Unable to complete installation".
I have tried following the solution in this thread:
Flash Player Installer hangs at 95%
But I don't see the .pkg file inside the downloaded .app file. I am not running antivirus and I have rebooted. I have used the uninstaller as well. I am using Safari for this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris

Managed to resolve this myself (see this thread: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X)
Thanks for all the replies though

Interclue fails to initalise upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time.

Interclue fails to initialize upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time. What would cause this situation. Never had problems with this add-on with Firefox until I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I can disable, re-start, enable,re-start, and it works fine. The same scenario holds true if I uninstall and then re-install add-on.

Just a guess, but I wonder if you have some application or process hanging up that's stopping it from shutting down? You might try closing each application individually and see if this helps.
Good luck!

Download of Mobile Application Modeler 1.0 fails every time

Hello,
When trying to download the Trial Version of the Mobile Application Modeler (1.0), a 15mb sized ZIP-file, the connection is always reset after downloading 99%. The zipfile is not valid and I can't open it. When trying to download the file with a download manager (such as flashget or IDM) the connection times out after about 50% or 60%. Because this file can't be resumed, there is no way to continue further.
I've tried this on different connections (work & home) and on different PC's, also tried if antivirus or firewall prohibit in any way. This is the first file which gives me this problem when downloading from SDN. In the past I never had any problems.
Do you know how to get the complete file somewhere else or how to download a consistent/complete file?
Best regards,
Edwin Oldenburg

I have the same problem.

Win 7, IE 11 downloading flash installer, I get virus detected even after disabling ActiveX

Win 7 IE 11, ACTIVEX disabled, trying to download Flash installer, I get Virus detected- installer deleted. Any Ideas?

Download the Adobe Flash Player FULL installer directly by right clicking one of the following links ans selecting "Save target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Disable the A/V and then run the installer.

Installation fails every time

My installation of Adobe Acrobat Professional 11 UE MAC ESSC fails every time I try it. I don't know how to contact Adobe to get help. I am running Mac 10.8.5. Galen Strawson

I don't have this machine but here are a few things you could look at; that is if you haven't already.
Things you could try:
Changing up the Bios Settings.
if it came with win 8. it is probably runs a uefi firmware. These often have a bios backwards compatibility mode. You could try checking those options and turn off secure boot and turn on the bios backwards compatibility mode and see if win 10 will install.
if it came with win 7, it may have a bios with those features not turned on; if that's the case try turning them on.
Note: you may lose/gain security features or boot speed by disabling or changing some of these features. But it may tell you if a uefi firmware or bios settings incompatibility that could be causing your installation issue. You could also try a different
HDD.
Also you didn't mention whether you were trying to install from a usb stick or if you burned the iso to a DVD. If you are trying from a USB and have a DVD drive. Try burning as a DVD. I had dell lattitude that would never install from my usb; it would start
installing but then it would stall, but from a dvd in the dvd drive it installed alright... kind of weird (I was installing win 7 not 10, so not sure whether it would make a difference on win 10.)
Win 10 may also run but the install is borking on your machine... this is unconventional and surely not recommended, but you could put that laptop hard drive in another machine and run the install. Then on the last reboot swap the hard drive back into your
laptop and see if it boots up.
This may allow you to try running the os and see how it works on that laptop, if that's your goal.

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." Tried suggestions I've seen on the forum.

Time Machine spends hours partially backing up and then fails with "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem." I've tried various suggestions I've seen on the forum but nothing has worked. TIme Machine worked fine for the last two years and just suddenly started having this problem every time. The only thing that was a little different is that the computer was off for a week while on vacation and then I added a large amount (20 GB) of photos. Now the requested backup size is 82GB, which is large, and process proceeds very slowly for 2-3 hours before failing with the message mentioned. I have more than enough available backup storage space for it. Before failing, Time Machine has backed up no more than 12GB or so of the backup. It fails during different files each time.
I've turned off the computer sleep feature, and I've checked that the NAS is set to never automatically power down. I normally backup over Wi-Fi, but I've also tried connecting to Ethernet and it still has the same problem. It's odd because I also have a MacBook Pro that is still backing up fine to the same NAS using the MacBook's Time Machine.
I am using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 NAS.
I have system logs that I can share if helpful. The logged messages vary a bit from run to run, but here are some messages that I've been seeing:
I always get this message near the beginning of the backup:
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
I've gotten this messsage a number of times:
Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.

That looks like a problem was found with the file system (data) on the TM disk. I don't know the details, but OSX tried to recover it from the journal, and found extra data on the drive. Likely a result of the incompatibility mentioned above.

Something caused a disconnect. Can't tell from the log what it was.
I doubt it's a problem with something in OSX being damaged or corrupted, but reinstalling OSX isn't a major hassle, so might be worth a try.
To be incompatible with Snow Leopard, this NAS must be at least a couple of years old. It may be beginning to fail.
Contact the maker. See if there's an update to make it compatible with Snow Leopard. If so, that might fix it.
If not, or if that doesn't fix it, see if they have any diagnostics that will shed any light.

I have been trying to update my cc info and for some reason it has kept saying that the cc info does not match with the bank so the transcation failed every time I was trying to download something even when it's free but my cc got charged $1.- each time.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

Update to 10.5.1.A.0.283 fails every time

Update to 10.5.1.A.0.283 fails every time
It is Xperia Tablet Z SGP321, no branding, no SIM lock.
In the past only Sony original firmware were flashed.
Currently 10.4.1.B.0.101 is inside.
Update to 10.5.1.A.0.283 using PCC fails on every attempt.
PCC was updated to latest available version.
The whole progress looks like following
- first PCC carries out the preparation stage
- than PCC reports to carry out download
- as soon as progress bar at approx. 50% of whole scale the preparation stage
is entered again
- it takes very long time, between 5 and 10 minutes, till the progress bar reaches
nearly 100%
- download procedure ends with following message
error code 10, a hint to check firewall settings if PCC and Sony Update Engine
are passed through, a hint to retry later
- switch off firewall
- switch off antivirus
- disable all protection mechanism in Windows EMEA
- uninstall PCC, reboot, install PCC of current version again
All the above measures do not help.
One week ago the Sony Support claimed I should retry some time later.
How long do I have to wait for retry? a week, a month, a year, 10 years, 20 years?
It is a big effort to get this device close to the windows desktop device
with PCC installed and running on it, to get connected this device with such windows desktop device,
to invoke PCC and the update procedure. All this effort just to see in the end the update
does still no succeed!!!!
How long do I have to live with Xperia and obsolete Android on it?

The point of trying a different computer is that it gives information.
If it works you know that your PC is the problem.
If not, you have to look further.
And finally - if nothing works - you can try to flash it.
My Sony z is working like reborn after a clean install.
It takes some time to learn, but after that it isn't that difficult.
My tablet works like before KitKat (sd-card) , but with the new functions.
No serious bugs whatsoever anymore.!

Do I need to download the additional content of Logic Pro X every time I install it on each of my computers?

Do I need to download the additional content of Logic Pro X every time I install it on each of my computers?

A poster in the following thread gives a direct download link to the installer package:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22495063#22495063
...if that works and Logic Pro X recognises that it's been installed at startup, then clearly you can just download it the one time and manually install it on each computer. Unfortunately the App Store doesn't appear to provide a way to export and subsequently authorise installation archives for downloaded applications, though, so you'll still have to download the 600-odd-MB core of Logic via the App Store on each machine.

Rtorrent hash check fails every time

I have rTorrent 0.7.1 / libTorrent 0.11.1 installed. After downloading any torrent, rtorrent does the hash check and it fails every time. I restart it, it does the hash check again and then resumes the download from 90%+
Do I do something wrong? Is there a setting I miss?

There were problems with rtorrent and kernel 2.6.19. Have you updated to 2.6.20 yet?
-edit-
Actually, I'm not sure whether it was fixed in 2.6.20.
