I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

I can't install latest version of flashplayer on my imac. It keeps asking me to shut Safari.

I can't install latest version of flashplayer on my imac. It keeps asking me to shut Safari. I do but then each time it still asks me to shut Safari

See: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
Follow those instructions to the letter - works 99.999% of the time.

Flash Update Telling me to Quit Safari when Safari is already off.

Have tried on a number of occastions to install Flash on both my Mac computers. Both have the latest OS. Keep getting meaasage to "Quit Safari". I don't use Safari, but I double check and Safari is not on. I open it and quit it just to make sure. Still get the same error message. How do I reslove? Concerned that if I uninstall the old version, I will not be able to load any Flash on to my computers.

If you use "MenuTab" (a Facebook menubar app), it will provide a "false open" for Safari. You need to quit it as well.

My ibook keeps telling me to shut down

i have an ibook g4 which ive had for about 4 years, and starting just recently a gray screen will pop up telling me to shut down. The screen is gray with a large power button watermark in the background, It says "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button". it is then repeated in 3 different languages. Once I have restarted my computer a window pops up saying " the computer was restarted after mac OS X quite unexpectedly, click report to see more details or send a report to apple. If i click on report nothing happens, it only lets me click ok. This happens very frequently and usually when im online, but not all the time.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem from happening?

Try shutting off Airport and connecting to your router via Ethernet for a while. Does this help?
What you're seeing is a Kernel Panic; these are often caused by hardware issues. With the iBooks, RAM and the Airport card are two of the most common culprits.

You need to close the Safari process, not just the browser window.

My mac book keeps telling me to shut down and restart

Mt Macbook is about 6 years old. It is now not strating up: I keep getting a message to shut down and start again. I have tried to perform a soft reset; now the computer just shuts off a few seconds after starting. I do not have the installation discs. Any suggestions?
I do not mund losing the saved files; I performed a back up just a few days ago. I just want the computer to start again.
Thanks

Sounds like you got incompatible or bad RAM.
Return it and buy from OWC or Crucial

My Mac keeps telling me to shut down my computer

My MacBook Pro is showing me a "You must shut down" message, and after I restart, it appears again before I can even login. Is this something I can fix or do I need to bring it in?

It's a kernel panic - most often this is due to faulty memory, but logic board problems or a failing hard disk can cause it as well as improperly configured external hardware.
Run Apple Hardware Test. If it reports "no trouble found" then run the extended tests. Report any problems it finds.
You don't know which version of OS X, or which MacBook Pro? Knowing both of these details will help get you started in the right direction.

CS6 64 bit (for windows) installation keeps telling me to shut down Bridge CS5 which isn't running.

I've checked the Windows 7 Task Manager and Bridge CS5 does not appear. Can someone help with what I'm to do so I can finish the install?

This error occurs when Adobe Bridge is configured to start at login, so it is running in the background.
Please refer the kb article for resolution:

My computer keeps telling me to download Flash Player even though I already have.

Why does my computer keep telling me to download the latest version of Flash Player even though I have downloaded it multiple times. Am I forgetting to do something?

Its seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Restart the machine.
Download and Re-install Flash Player.
Restart the browser and check.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I have the latest edition of the Flash player and it works fine with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I can play things because I dont have it

Since I updated Firefox I cant play anything that requires Flash player. I have the up to date player and it works perfectly with IE but Firefox keeps telling me I need another plug in and when I follow the instructions it says 'download failed try manual download' but even that fails too.
Before I updated Firefox I had no issues, can you help
Alan.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Help! I am in a site that keeps telling me that I must install Adobe Flash Player before it will allow me to go further but my computer says that it is installed. What do I do?

What is wrong with my computer or is it the program site that I am in? It keeps telling me that I must install Adobe Flash Player but Adobe says it is installed and up dates do not apply. Help because I cannot go further on the site that I am on and it is a secure site that I have used many times in the past.

What browser are you using? So you have a website pulled up and it is a full screen flash player trying to play or is it a area of the page with a player claiming on the player to install flash?
Check out this link: Flash Player Help
1. Test your Flash Player for versions to make sure nothing happened with that link. If Adobe's Flash Player test through this link says your player is working and up to date then,,,
2. Check your add-ons or extensions, depending on the browser for what they are called. Make sure Flash Player extensions are enabled. That allows it to play within a webpage.
3. Check your Flash Player settings itself. There are settings where you restrict, approve, and so on in different ways. The link I shared with help guide you.
4. Check parental settings. My son plays on this parental control software that always restricts the Flash Player with his games, or videos on Disney, Nick, and other channel websites.
5.I used to have a computer that claimed this all the time. It drove me crazy. I found out for that computer that it did not like an update so I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player. I made sure the Adobe page showing the Flash Player was reinstalled correctly came up, then closed all my browser pages, then reopened to make sure not permission spot popped up to ok for future use.
Let me know if this helps. If not, share your computer and browser type.
