Flash Installation stalls - Mac OS X

Flash Installation stalls at : "Items remaining to be
installed: 190 - Searching: Machintosh HD". The progress bar
disappears and the installation just hangs for ever. Anybody has an
idea of why this is happening? I might have installed a trial
version before but I'm not sure. Is there any file that I should
remove perhaps?
Here is the Log:

This problem solved yet? I get the exact same thing when
trying to install the Flash 8 Basic trial version.

The latest Adobe Flash Update for Mac OS stalls on installation at 30% download

The latest Adobe Flash Update for Mac OS stalls on installation at 30% download.
How do I delete my old flash from my mac to attempt clean install?
Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?

Please use the offline installer:

Mac Flash Player Installer stalls at 25% or 30% followed by Connection Lost Start Over, which I do with same result.

Mac Flash Player Installer stalls at 25% or 30% followed by Connection Lost Start Over, which I do with same result.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Flash Player: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation. Mac OSX

I'm working on a mac running 10.10.1 Yosemite in Safari. My current Flash version is 15.0.0.
On most videos and pictures it now says 'Your Flash Player is out of date".
I've clicked on this icon, which opens saying do you want to download the newest version, and clicked yes.
I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player Update several times.
The downloading always works, the problem is with the installation:
It failed the first time, and all following times it 'picks up' at about 30% then goes up all the way to 97% (sometimes 99%) and then says: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation.
I've tried all the links in the forums saying download directly from here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg - but safari can't find the link.
I wanted to deinstall Flash Player and found this link on the adobe website(Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS): http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player_os x.dmg -> but it says "Safari can't find the server fpdownload.macromedia.com" so I can't even uninstall it!
I have no idea what else to try???
I also tried to open all those links in Firefox and Chrome and they weren't found there either.
Has anyone ideas what I can do? All the links that I found in the forum which solved the problem for others are 'not found' when I click on them.
Thanks for any tipps!!!

Flash installer gets stuck on 35% and won't move (Mac Yosemite)

Hi all, I posted my problem a week ago on the wrong board I think! and didn't get nay answers so hopefully will have more luck here :) I have always had Flash on my Mac (Yosemite) always updated no problem. It said today I needed to update it so clicked on the install button and did the usual but it keeps getting stuck around the 30/35% stage. I have followed steps on Adobes help pages, tried installing Flash and then re-installing but it keeps doing the same thing! Any ideas on what it could be thats stopping it ??

I seem to have got mine working, I went via the Apple website and found this link, DMG installer ? Couldn't tell you how but it worked Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

Standard Mac users cannot eject Flash installer drive image

We recently distributed Flash to 130 macs and it defaulted for auto update. Whenever it auto updates, it mounts a flash player drive image to the desktop. Unfortunately all the users are standard users and they cannot eject the mounted drive image without an administrator logon. I have wasted hours logging into each computer to manually eject these drives. How can I reverse this behavior?
We are using apple remote desktop

Hello,
Since your users do not have Admin rights to install software, you'll want to disable auto-updates on each machine. The update settings are stored in the /Library/Application Support/mms.cfg file. You'll want to make sure the AutoUpdateDisable and SilentAutoUpdateEnable settings are configured as follows:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
This will disable ALL updates for these machines, as such, you'll want to distribute updates via some other mechanism to ensure your users have the latest secure versions when they're released.
Enterprise deployment information is documented in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

Can't install Flash player on Mac 10.10.1

I have tried all evening to install the latest Flash Player on my Mac 10.10.1 - using Safari as browser.
Did not work, therefore I uninstalled it and tried it all over again. Zero results, the downloading blocks around 29% and that's it.
Any idea what's going on?

Had the same problem (stalling at 25% or 30%).
This worked for me:
1.     Reboot computer or use Activity Monitor to force quit any prior Adobe Flash installation process that may be still running
2.     Download Adobe Flash update using this link: Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
3.     Mount flash player by clicking on flash drive icon on desktop
4.     Right click on Flash file
5.     Choose 'Show Package Contents'
6.     Open 'Contents' then 'Resources'
7.     Run file 'Adobe Flash Player.pkg'
8.     Reboot computer.

Why is my installation stalling at 25-30%?

The full detail of this includes the fact I did a clean install on my Mac OSX (Which is Yosemite I might add right now).
Why is the installation stalling at around 25-30%? Can someone please help me? I followed all the guidelines. Its the latest version.

Installation stalled?

I copy and pasted this question below, because it is the same as mine. However the response to this, and every question like this, is to provide a link to a download that will supposedly work and not have a stalled installation. When I clicked on that link (more than once), it shows up in my Downloads, but with an "X" by it, and I am unable to open it. Any help much appreciated!
Hi I am trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player to my mac. It is getting through the whole installation process and then stops downloading at 30%. I have tried numerous times, checked all my settings in safari and internet security. I have tried rebooting my computer but that didn't work. I am using safari. Please help
Can anyone offer me any other solution than the standard link that is offered to others with the same problem? The link is not working for me (as I said above).
Thank you so much!!

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
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/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Problem: Flash update on Mac OS 10.411

A few days ago I was prompted to update Flash Player (youtube videos had suddenly stopped playing on the old version I had) and went ahead and did it. I go through the installation process and as far as I can tell nothing goes wrong. But I still can't watch videos online and the same message is always displayed "you need to update Flash, etc."
I have Mac OS 10.411 which I guess is 64-bit. I have Safari 4.1.3. I can't update Safari any further with the current OS. I can't download newer versions of Chrome or Firefox.
What I've done so far x 10:
-run the uninstaller
-run the installer ["Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OSX 10.4-10.5 (Intel)" on the installation page]
-checked http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
to test if any older versions are still installed on the computer. Just says "missing plug-in", so I guess not.
I see under system preferences that version 10.3.183.10 is installed, which is the newest version the site gives me.
Thanks for looking at my question. Anyone know what to do?

We both have Tiger installled otherwise known as os 10.4.11, as well I have safari 4.1.3 and flash 10.1 , I believe flash 10.3 will not work with OS 10.4.11 (its for a higher version of lion or leopard or something)
Make sure box in preferences advanced tab "show Develop menu in menu bar" is checked as I mentioned before and then do a 10.1 flash download in that order, I think I read flash 10.3 is too high for safari 4.1.3 and Flash 11 is definitely too advanced for Tiger, as well Tiger can not run Firefox or Chrome as a browser, thus the need to get a version of flash that works on your OS Safari version ..hope this [email protected],   FYI: You should google the error message that pops up in quotes along with your os version for good search results of any issue.

I have the same problem!
I also have mac osx 10.4.11(intel) and was asked to upgrade to the latest flash player...but when I did, suddenly couldn't load/watch any videos.
Tried the same things you did, to no avail (uninstalled and installed flash player 10.3 over and over, and still nothing)..it's as if i didn't install it when I did.
And because of my os version, can't avail of the archived flash players on this site
Help please!
I tried fixing my Safari preferences but still doesn't work.
