Flash install trouble on Mac 10.8.3 with Safari

I am having trouble with the latest Flash update. I go to install it and half way through the install it tells me that I need to close my Safari browser. But my browser is closed, not open. I even tried restarting my computer and trying again but I still got the same error message. What do I do?

Seriously ? no ideas ?
I did some more testing and Flash is really messed up with this computer. Chrome seems to work, but performance is not what it should be.
I went back to a 10.X version of flash with same effect. went back to Firefox 17 ...same effect.
It almost seems like hardware...however Chrome works..
When in Safari or Firefox. Right click brings up Flash settings..but I am unable to select anything in the panel.. cant click off hardware accleration..i cant even close the panel. (on chrome i can select all settings) Video flickers constantly in Safari.. wont play at all in Firefox.

I now have no flashplayer and each time it continues to report a failure to launch even when reset. the error report on apple state a breakpoint and unknow required load command whatever that is....HELP!

Hi Katie,
Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8. If you try to install one of the latest versions, it'll just terminate. You need Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (released 7/9/2013), which is the last version supported on OS X 10.5.8. The installer file is in this zip package, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive _mac_only.zip.
If you have an Intel machine, you may want to consider upgrading to 10.9 (free upgrade) so that you can install the latest, most secure, version of Flash Player.

Howdy MacRocker,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start with troubleshooting an issue like this where you're unable to load certain websites in Safari, I suggest that you clear out your browser history and website data.
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Clear your browsing history
Happy Holidays!

I have installed Flash Player 12 on a MAC OS 10.9 using Safari. The system will not load images or video. I have used the website help documents to verify that the Flash Player files are installed and the Safari security settings are correct. Help please?

The old Plug-in files are still around
Download the offline imstaller: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)
Then do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
That'll get the old junk out and you'll have a new Player plug-in.

Why won't Flash install on my MAC?

How come adobe customer service won't help me? It's really
annoying that they can't help over the phone and I just have to
cross my fingers and hope someone knows what's going on in the
forum. Please, help.
I had flash installed fine and then one day it suddenly would
not work. It said I did not have the plug in blah blah so I
reinstalled it and still, all it does is bring me to the adobe
website and say it can't locate my plug-in. I've tried on Safari
and Firefox. I know it is being installed for all of my browsers.
I've also tried updating my browsers as well as uninstalling and
reinstalling flash and nothing works.

Hello,
Please try downloading the Flash from following link:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Please choose "Mac OSX.." in step 1 and "Flash Player 15.." in Step 2.
You should be able to download the Flash Player then.
Regards,
Anoop

Help please - Flash install fails on Mac OSX 10.9.5

Installing Version 16.0.0.235 for Firefox on Mac runnng OS X 10.9.5
A brief glimpse of white progress bar at 0% appears then dissapears from the grey install screen when you run the install. The grey box then just sits there.
I have followed all the troubleshooting advice. I have de-installed flash then rebooted and tried again. I have done this twice just to make sure, but to no avail?
Has anyone got any ideas?

That is correct Das_Sad. CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS. You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.

How do I install a new version of Flash? YouTube tells me I must do so: Mac 10.9.5 with Safari 7.0.5

How do I uninstall an older version of Flash from my iMac 10.9.5, running Safari 7.0.5. YouTube tells me I need the new version of Flash. I've downloaded it 5 times but it won't install when I click on "Install Adobe Flash."

Safari 1.3.2 is the newest version for Mac OS X 10.3.9. You need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 to get a newer version; a G3's maximum OS is 10.4.11.

Flash installed successfully on Mac but not working

Hi
I am going round and round in circles here. I tried to use Sky Sports Score Centre at the weekend and received the following message 'You need flash player 9 or greater to view this content. You can download the latest flash player plugin here.
I had never uninstalled Flash, but I upgraded regardless. During initial installations I kept getting a message to close Safari even through Safari was already closed. I googled the issue and have gone through many cycles of deinstalling and reinstalling and clearing caches etc etc
Anyway, now I have successfully managed to install the latest version of Flash, but when I go to use a site that uses Flash, it won't work. I get the same message as above about needing Flash 9 or greater
Seriously painful as it's impacting children's games websites also which means I now have less peace and quiet!! (Flonga, CBBC etc)
Can anyone help resolve this once and for all?
Many thanks
Bart

Can't install flash player 17 on Mac OS 10.10.2, Safari version 8.0.4, currently have flash player 16.0.0 installed.

After downloading flash 17 install and double clicking "Install Adobe Flash Player". I get the agree to terms of license agreement window - below it is a Quit or Install
option with the Install option grayed out and unclickable.

After trying repeatedly, the download finally installed. Problem solved, for me anyway.

Flash 14 not installing on MAC 10.9.4 with Safari. Everything up to date and have even uninstalled so now have nothing!!

have tried all suggestions from other forums with no success. Can anyone provide any assistance. Seems to be an Adobe issue??

Hello, I have the exact same problem and posted a longer, more detailed question but have received no answer or help yet from any form of support or the community. I have done all the steps on the various Adobe "help" pages; uninstalled the old version; deleted all old Adobe Flash remnants/downloads; contacted Apple Customer Care twice and went through a battery of options, tests, trials to make sure it was nothing on my laptop or an Apple problem at all. Despite all these attempts in every way possible, nothing has worked, I have no Flash Player, and I cannot do things I need to--one for example, my language study on Rosetta Stone because it requires Flash Player. I am very open to help and would love to hear from an experienced, qualified person(s) who could give a real, practical and timely solution to this problem. And please, do not send me to a link to the forum or page of "solutions" as I have gone there many times, tried it all, and still no installation--just a generic error message and the suggestion to try again.
Hopeful for help~

How long should a new battery last when installed for a mac book pro 2009 with only a web browser opened?

I recently went to the apple store in Covent garden and had a battery replaced for my Mac Book Pro 2009 edition.
After fully charging the mac the percentage guage meter displays the battery is losing power fast. 1% increments goes down every 5 minutes even if I have only a browser which is opened and no other running applications.
My recent test after a fully charged mac book pro allowed me a maximum use time is 2 hours!
I have friends and family members who have the same model as me and their mac book when running on battery, shows that the laptop has about 6 hours use. They are able to run multiple applications and use sites such as Youtube and still get a good 4 hours of use.
Anyway, I have booked an appointment with a Mac Genius for tomorrow to look into this issue.
I thought I'd just ask the community to find out if any of you can help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you Donald.
You are the second person to tell me this so this is more of a reason for Apple to sort out issue for me.
The team there don't believe there is an issue with the battery.
Thank you once again.

Trouble using .mac mail alias's with Panther Mail

I am using Mac Mail 1.3.11 (Panther) here and have a .mac account. When I compose mail, the Account field in the header only allows me to select my main .mac account name. This seems to defeat the purpose of alias's - if I have to send mail from my root account name. The only workaround I found is to create a seperate mail account for the alias. But then of course if I only check the alias, I miss mail to my root account name. And if I check both, my Inbox contains double of nearly everything.
Any suggestions? Or do I have to shell out the $$ to buy Tiger for this computer too, just to enable alias's?
Thanks

forget it
