Downloading flash player 8 and other updates and get an error...
Recently when I've tried to download updates to Norton Antivirus and today when I wanted to get flashplayer *8 it won't let me do it, this is the message I get after I pressed the download button.
Safari can’t open the page “http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/installflash_playerosx.dmg” because it can’t find the server “fpdownload.macromedia.com”.
I know it must be my mac as I downloaded both of these at work on another mac and all was fine.
I might be being totally thick, but can anyone suggest anything?
thanks
Hello Iknownowt:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
FWIW that link results in a "not found" message here. I suspect either the link is wrong, or the web site has changed something.
I just drilled down on the web site in question and downloaded the flash player with this URL:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOX

A recent update download upset my entire itunes program. Unable to use to sync iphone, ipad, etc nor run any other updates. Get runtime error message, Error 7 (windows error 1114) etc...and contact app support team. Says itunes not installed correctly, pls reinstall. tried to no avail.
First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in
I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow. For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers). After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow. -
Trying to download flash player to use Shutterfly and when it gets to 50% installation,
it says disconnect internet. it repeats that error message
Easiest way to do this is:
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and choosing "Save Target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet!
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you open anything else, locate and run the installer.
If it still gives you trouble, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and:ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer for further steps. -

When I try to download latest version of Flash Player get a box showing downloads but there isn't anything in the box.
Well, that should mean that nothing is running in realtime and should not interfere as McAfee would. I think this version of Ad-Aware was an On-Demand, you ran it when you wanted to, it didn't run automatically, is that correct?
Was the HJT just on the Desktop?
When you left click on Ad-Aware what happens? We can remove it, but it isn't causing a problem now so we'll do that later.
Did you have any ad block? What about pop-up blocker software installed?
In your Manage Add ons, the All add ons, can you pull out all ActiveX Controls(list them?) If not don't worry about it.
When you first began having problems, did you try to Install an older version of Flash Player thinking that would work?
Are there any other Anti-Virus/Spyware that you had installed before that wasn't Uninstalled that may still be running in realtime?
I'm trying to determine what caused the ActiveX Control error.
Do you know how to find the Flash folder? If not, I do. Just tell me.
Thanks,
eidnolb
P.S. I just noticed your last post. I'll check on that Wise Uninstall. Someone had that and I forgot what it was for. Will have to find the thread, first I had ever heard of it. Thanks

Flash Player DRM Module Update url I/O Error 2203
Hi there
I seem to be consistently obtaining an I/O error when trying to test the DRM module System Update API
As suggested I have removed my ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache folder as suggested in this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/799135
Flash Player 11.2.202.235 ( Debug )
Mac OSX 10.7
FireFox 13.0.1
Chrome 20.0.1132.57
Flash Access 2.0
The code is correctly identifying the missing module when the NetStream recieves the Status code of 'DRM.UpdateNeeded'
and attempts to download it using SystemUpdate.update( SystemUpdaterType.DRM ) api method. However I immediately receive the following error:
Error #2203: The requested SystemUpdater action cannot be completed, which is an I/O error for the DRM module?
Can anyone help with what causes this issue, and how i can possibly resolve it?
Thanks
SteveHi Steve,
The DRM module for Mac OS X flash player plugin 11.2.202.235 debugger version is available. I could successfully download the module for 11.2.202.235 debugger version 32bit and 64bit on Mac OS X 10.7.
After you got error 2203, did you see any files under NativeCache directory?
Are you using any kind of proxy server, anti virus software, etc?
BTW, I think Google Chrome browser 20.0.1132.57 is using different flash player version.
Can you check used flash player version by using 'chrome://plugins' and openinng http://drmtest2.adobe.com/AccessPlayer/player.html then see flash player verson at upper right corner?
You can disable undesired flash player on chrome://plugins page.
Thanks,

even though all of my Safari windows are closed, what do I do?
Keep in mind that on the Mac, even if you close all windows of an application, the application itself may still be running with no windows open. If you have closed all Safari windows, look at the Dock to see if there is a glowing dot under the Safari icon. If there is a dot, Safari is still running, so click the Dock icon and then choose Safari/Quit Safari.
As an alternative to looking for the dot under an application in the Dock, I often use the Command-Tab keyboard shortcut to display the Application Switcher so I can see which applications are still open.
You don't have to open Activity Monitor to quit a program unless there really is no way to way to do it from the normal interface.
The only applications that quit when you close the window are the ones that only have one window, like System Preferences. -

Flash Player Will Not Install - Keep Getting tn_19166 Message
I think that I've tried just about everything to get Flash Player to install. No luck. Whenever I try to download Flash Player 10, it pauses and then comes up with a failed to install tn_19166 message. I keep getting this. What is this? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help (with something that will actually fix this problem)? I've already tried many of the things listed on this forum. Thanks in advance.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ADOBE???!!!
I have this same problem, keep getting this tn-19166 message:
- To start with in the SPANISH ("Latinamerica" goes to "Spain" for some ill reason) website it just gives the error message in some SCANDINAVIAN LANGUAGE "Blev ikke installeret. Du kan finde tip til fejlfinding pa http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166" (what on earth is that??) Luckily, by mere chance I happen to speak German so I GUESSED that was a mistake to be inquired.
- In SPANISH there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE (at least no telephone for Latin America)
- Even in English there is NO TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR FLASH PLAYER (why on earth is this the case???)
- Even the supposedly trouble-shooting web sites DON' FIX ANYTHING, ALL SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS SOLVE NOTHING. One gets more info from these private users' forae.
- None of the suggested solutions, neither in customer support nor in the users' forae work. I have TRIED EVERYTHING, every little solution, however ridiculous it seemed.... NOTHING WORKS, Same problem: "Registry error" (in Spanish: "Error: Error de registro" you get a link with the inscription "encargado cercano de la transferencia directa and after many windows popping up again, guess what... little "tn_19166" blesses us with yet another joyful visit... WHAT IS WRONG?
- Some people report having this problem for over a month, full day and still not getting solutions.
- By the answers given in the forae e.g. Bwolf [ADOBE] it is evident ADOBE DOESN'T HAVE THE ANSWER AND DOESN'T EVEN CARE TO INQUIRE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT HAS NOT YET DETERMINED WHAT THE PROBLEM IS....
- HOW ON EARTH IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ADOBE DOESN'T HAVE THE ANSWER?
- HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT NO ADOBE STAFF IS IN CHARGE WITH FLASH PLAYER PROBLEMS???!!!! What on earth is this???
This is probably what happens when a company, Adobe and its product FlashPlayer, have the MONOPOLY over any area of technoology, in this case of the system of these systems to play animated video on Internet.
WE ARE ONLY ASKING FOR ADOBE TO TELL US WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. WE are going to fix it, not Adobe of course, we can't even talk to anybody about it... SUCH A MISERABLE MEDIOCRE, INCONSIDERATE SERVICE!!! -
I download Flash player, proceed through the steps, but it takes me to a page where Adobe wants me to buy photoshop and other products and no way to bypass this and just get on with the installation without buying anything. Anyone out there know how to do it?
Hi mansons67992701,
No purchase is required to install Flash Player. The offer you're seeing is optional. There should be a yellow 'Install Now' button on the bottom right of the page. Is the button not displaying? Please post a screenshot of the page (How to post a screenshot in the forum).

Firefox requests to update Flash but the download fails over and over initialization at 50%.
also in one trial of download i recieved the message: "JavaScript is currently disabled in your browser and is required to download Flash Player". But i checked and it is enabled.
I am stuck with Flash In FF and moving to Chrome.Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.

Latest Flash player versions here:

You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..
Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash. -

CopyPixels alternative in Flash Player 6?
