Flash Installer Won't Open

I'm on a Mac running OSX 10.5.8 with Firefox 16.0.2 and it told me I need to update Flash. I was running Flash 10.3.183.90 and uninstalled it. I've now downloaded the installer but it quits before running. Any thoughts?

Try this:
Mount the DMG, and open the folders to the 10_3_r183_90 folder.
Mount the flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.
Right click the Flash Player installer (or Ctrl+click)
Choose Show Package Contents.
go to: Contents/Resources.
Double click the Adobe Flash Player package.
It should install from there.
A side note: Being as your Mac is Intel, you really should consider upgrading to OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). It will enable you to run a whole lot of software that 10.5 can't, including the latest Flash Player and Safari 5, which is a better browser than Safari 4. It's only $19.99 through Apple and they ship free. By doing an upgrade with the migration assistant, you keep all your files, and only the OS upgrades. All passwords and logins stay the same.

Safari, ichat or installer won't open

i recently upgraded to the mac os x 10.4.3 and been having hosts of problems. Upon clicking on safari, it jumps once or twice and then quits. Same thing happens for ichat and installer. The fact that my installer won't open prevents me from re upgrading. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated

Calendar flashes but won't open iOS 8.1

when I try to open calendar, it flashes a white screen then takes me back to the home screen. Won't stay open. Any ideas/ solutions? IPad Air

Hey NCRob,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the calendar application closing. The following resource provides troubleshooting steps for this symptom:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Since the calendar application is built-in to the OS, you'll want to restore your device to reinstall the application:

Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site. After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there. The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window. No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows. I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
Thank you.

Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Application and Installer won't open/launch on iMac (Maxon Cinema 4D) help!

This is a strange one. I have an application that refuses to open.
I've bought an iMac 24" Intel 3.06Ghz (not the brand new one, but a 2008 model). Everything works fantastically, but I'm having a problem with one particular application - Maxon Cinema 4D (R9.012). I realise this is an older version of Cinema 4D (they are now up to R11), but I have some 3D projects built in the older version that do not convert nicely when opened in the more recent versions. So, on some rare occasions, I need to open the older version to render a particular image successfully, etc.
But, I am finding that it won't open, and neither will the original VISE installer for the application. I don't believe this is an Intel compatibility problem, as I also have the use of an almost identical iMac 24" Intel 2.4Ghz (identical, obviously apart from the screen size and processor/graphics card) and the version of Cinema 4D R9.012 that won't open on my home computer DOES open fine on this computer. So, I am left bemused.
When I say that the application won't load, what happens when I double-click is that the dock momentarily expands, as if the app icon is about to appear, but nothing surfaces and the dock immediately goes back to it's normal self.
I've tried the instructions on this page, to no avail: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060314080135452
I've tried resetting the PRAM, to no avail.
I'm now lost as to what to try next. I've never encountered an app/installer refusing to open, without seeing some kind of warning or dialogue box.
Can anyone advise me what this could be caused by, and how to overcome it?
Thanks for reading!
Jme

In case anybody comes across this same problem, a fresh Leopard installatino solved the problem.
I migrated my iMac to another iMac, installed Leopard afresh, and voila, I was able to install Cinema 4D now! I then migrated my iMac back again, and everything seems to be fine now.
Very odd.

Flash Video Won't Open and Play in Online Site

When I upload my Flash Video files to the online server, the HTML page opens but the Flash Video doesn't open and play. If I open the HTML page in preview mode in Dreamweaver CS5, the HTML page opens and the Flash Video plays OK. I have tried using the Adobe Media Encoder to produce the FLV file as well as tried exporting the FLV from Adobe Premiere CS 5.5, but neither makes any difference. The Flash Video still doesn't play when files are uploaded to the site online. I have also tried using different versions of Flash Professional to create and publish the SWF movie file, but nothing I try seems to make the Flash Video open and play online. The test site I have set up is http://www.hgatest.org then you can click the “video” link to open the Flash Video. Video HTML page URL is http://www.hgatest.org /video.html   You can then see what I am talking about. Please help. This just started happening about 6 months ago and it has been driving me crazy. Any ideas will be helpful. Thanks, Joe K.

Flash Player won't open

I have tried downloading Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 on my Mac version 10.8.5 with Safari version 6.2.2 and whenever I download it it tries opening it in MATLAB and won't allow it to be opened with any other application. It is not a .dmg file when I download it, it is a .mdlp. I am not sure what to do in order to get the right installer download. Any ideas?

Flash Player can only play Flash content, not create SWF files. You will need Flash Builder or Flash Professional for that.

Icons 'flash' but won't open.

When I click on a program icon it tries to open but then quickly 'flashes' and goes right back to the desktop. Very few icons will open a program. Most try but fail. I have tried to do a hard reset (power + home button) but that didn't help. Any suggestions would be appreciated....

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Apps flashing but won't open, iphone keeps reverting to "Sync with itunes"

The short version:
My iphone started having issues a month ago. When I tried to open an app it would flash then close. Also, the phone would randomly lock into the sync with itunes screen. That could happen several times a day. If I turned the phone off and then on again the sync screen would disappear. To get apps to work right I would have to install a free app from the App store on my phone and then all Apps would work again.
Apple was very nice and replaced the phone-still same problem.
AT & T was nice and replaced Sim card- still same problem.
Apple support had my reset the phone as a new phone and not restore from previous version-same problem.
I removed all the Apps on the phone-same problem.
Yesterday I removed all my music from the phone...so far, the phone has been fine.
My question is...
What could be suddenly causing my music to suddenly cause these problems and how do I fix it?

Launch iTunes then connect the iPhone to your Mac.
You should see the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
You can sync content from there.

Itunes installer won't open

After downloading itunes 7.7, then try to open the file for installation, I get an
hour glass for a second or two and then nothing. No other error code returned. Like the installer was bad. I've downloaded several times. The results are the same. I downloaded an earlier version of 7.69 and installed fine. I then tried to "update" the software using the the "check for updates" in the itunes application but I receive the error..."Apple software update server is down". Unfortunately, I have to have the latest version of itunes to work with my iphone 3g. I am running Windows XP Pro and are new to ipod, iphone itune phenomenon. Any suggestion appreciated.

If it does open, I get an error that the publisher can't verify the signature
That usually indicates that the installer got damaged during the download to the PC.
Have you been downloading using a web browser from the Apple website?
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If so, do you have any better success if you use Firefox rather than IE for the download (or vice versa)?

Flash drive won't open, or I'm not seeing it! HELP

I have a flash drive plugged into the correct USB port on my iMac .. but it does not automatically open on my desktop, and I can't find where to locate it! I need to ultimately copy the content from the flash drive onto either a CD or a file that I can then upload to DropBox and share. HELP

By default, the Mac OS does not show mounted drives on the Desktop but you can easily change that. Make sure your can see the word "Finder" at the left end of your menubar. Click the "Finder" menu and find "Preferences."
In the "General" tab of Finder Preferences, check all the boxes in the upper section (the ones I have outlined in red):

Flash installer will not open with my mac os X 10.10

I have downloaded the flash player update v.16 to update my mac os X 10.10 and it when I double click on the install file and put in my log in and password, the install wizard never opens.

when I double click on the adobe_flash_player_installer_16 file, the adobe flash player icon appears and I click on it...I get the message "install adobe flash player" is an application downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it. I click "open" and another window pops up that says "Install Adobe Flash Player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do and click OK. The flash icon drops down to the port area and then disappears and no flash update occurs.

Adobe Flash CS4 won't open anymore ....

Hello all, beforehand I thank you for your help. I use
Windows Vista and I took all precautions and did scandisk/disk
defrag/ and have numerous utilities to keep my computer clean so it
can't be that...
I have been using Flash CS4 pretty regularly until about a
week ago and i never had any real problems but now every time I
open up Flash CS4 it gives me an error message and closes. It gives
me the "Adobe Flash CS4 has stopped working" and that "Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem", here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/72821d3e935a89db809257ab9d1fef9b4g.jpg
Does anyone know what is wrong? I hopefully want to avoid
having to go through the reinstallation process and maybe someone
could help? I again appreciate the help and hope everyone is well.

of error

I have exactly the same issue on a Mac Intel Core Duo with Mountain Lion that I have had for 4 years, but it works perfectly on my brand new laptop with the same operating system. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products a number of times to 'flush it out', but there is something on it that is causing the obstruction. Does anyone know what this might be?
