Flash Player 10 osx install Crashes

My safari was crashing, and the error I got was that it was because of flash. After unistalling it from my computer and runing disk utility to repair my permissions and resetting safari and clearing the cache. I downloaded the new version and after 6% complete it stops istalling and tells me that the instaliation has failed.
I need help finding out how to install it without crashing. Yes I already tried downloading the installiation dmg file 3 times and the same thing keeps happening.

Make sure that your browser language preference settings do
not include Japanese (ja). You can also just go to

Flash Player 9 OSX Install Question???

Greetings! Recently my Flash Player stopped operating, and
prompts came up on screen to go to Adobe's website to download
Flash Player 9 OSX. After double checking which version to
download, I proceded with it's installation. After the download was
over, the prompt came up again as not having the Flash player.
Here's a copy of the prompt:
The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content
of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”,
but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME
type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
Why does it keep cycling itself back to saying I don't have
the software? Am I missing something here? I've tried so many
times, I've lost count! ANY help, suggestions, etc... would be MUCH
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Doug Martin

Matt,
If you have the luxury of living near by a Certified Apple
Store... go there! Purchase the "ProCare" card, and they'll do a
REINSTALL the latest OS X 10.4.10. Worked IMMEDIATELY after the
reinstall... no problems since. Good luck, Matt!

Can't install Flash Player 11.8; also crashes in Google Chrome

Hello!
I'm trying to update to Flash Player 11.8 within Google Chrome, but am unable to. I know Chrome automatically updates its internal version of Flash, but this didn't happen with the latest version. I have tried disabling the internal version and installing the external application, but it doesn't work. I can download the program just fine. When I go to install it, I click Run and nothing happens. Also, the installer file disappears from my downloads folder after I click Run.
Also, when I try to run anything having to do with Flash in Chrome, the plugin crashes. I have tried many of your suggestions (enabling the NPAPI version and disabling the PPAPI version, uninstalling the whole program, disabling Trend Micro Internet Security 2012, disabling SuperANTISpyware, along with reinstalling (which also crashes as described above)). This only happens on one laptop and I know the settings between my two laptops are the same. I'm also getting a message about having to log into Windows as an Administrator even though I've already done so.
Specs for the laptop with issues:
Late 2011 Macbook Pro
15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy display (1440 x 900)
AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
Automatic graphics switching
Full-size backlit keyboard with 78 (U.S.) keys, including 12 function keys and 4 arrow keys (inverted “T” arrangement)
Multi-Touch trackpad for precise cursor control; supports inertial scrolling, pinch, rotate, swipe, three-finger swipe, four-finger swipe, tap, double-tap, and drag capabilities
2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6MB shared L3 cache
8GB (two 4GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory
750GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive (split into two partitions of 375GB each)
OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 (installed via Bootcamp)
Google Chrome 28.0.1500.72
The version of Flash Player installed on here is 11.8.800.97 (PPAPI). I current have this disabled.
I'm not sure how to fix this issue as the internal Flash installation for Chrome was stuck at 11.7 and would not update. I would really love to get this to update and work properly as I'm tired of seeing the "new version of Flash Player available for install" popup when I boot up the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

That link tells how to keep your bookmarks and passwords when reinstalling. I'd say save them per the instructions, uninstall Chrome altogether, and redownload it. It should have the updated version of Flash in it. If not, download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following link.

Flash Player 9 OSX

I recently tried installing Adobe Flash Player 9 OSX and I get an error message that a browser is still running on my system. I closed all of the browsers, ran disk utility to repair permissions, ran disk warrior, uninstalled flash player and still I get an error message preventing my from installing flash player.
I am running 10.4.9 on a G5 PPC.
Any advise?
Thanks,
David

Hi
the flash installer does play up, occasionally....
http://rapidshare.com/files/30661227/Flash9.0.r45_ppc.zip.html ( select the free option ) will get you a zip containing the two active files that Flash uses. PPC version - not for intels.
Unzip it, drag the two files to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ ( choose overwrite )
Then repair permissions via Disk Utility.
Restart all browsers that are open & you should have Flash 9.0.r45 up and running.

Flash Player only stays installed for one use

I am using a Mac G4 Dual 1.25ghz MDD with OS 10.4.10 and both
Safari 2.0.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.6 Browsers. I install Flash Player 9
OSX, then the Browser works fine. I quit the Browser, relaunch it
and any file requiring Flash Player displays as a Quicktime Q
symbol with a Question Mark superimposed it. I have to install
Flash Player before each use of either browser to be able to view
files requiring flash player. The problem does not exist with
Internet Explorer 5.2. Any Suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks
ahead of time.

Problem still exists on both Firefox and Safari, but not on
Explorer. I have done restarts, re-installs of Flash, Permissions
repairs. Nothing I have tried so far seems to be permanent. I have
the install flash player on my desk top. I re-install to start up
my default browser. It will work until I close the browser, then
not work when I re-open it.

Which version of Flash Player do you have installed, and are you running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, or do you have an Apple Mac? If you have an Apple computer, which version of OSX do you have installed? Without this specific information, we cannot assist you very much.

Flash Player 9 OSX problems

I’m running a Mac 1.5 Ghz Power PC G4 laptop with a gig
of ram with an OS of 10.4.10. Using Firefox version 2.0.0.6.
The problem is flash player will not work unless I run
“Applejack” followed by reinstalling Flash Player 9
OSX. This will work for a day or so it then stops working showing
the ghosted QuickTime logo with a question mark layered on top of
the logo.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much!

I'm having trouble too. I'm using an Intel based MacBook,
running OS 10.4.10. I've tried downloading flash player several
times and each time it appears like I've installed it until i'm
brought to the adobe page saying i've completed the installation,
but then i'm prompted by my browser to install flash player...
which i thought I just did! And now I can't go on any webpage that
requires flash player... my older version was deleted. I really
need help, There are a lot of pages that I need to access, that I
can't right now.

Flash Player 10 Not installing on Win 7 64 bit PC

Flash Player 10 download goes through install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
After that There is always a Flash Player Install file on the PC.
When I click on that it goes through the install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
Have tried above install more than 6 different times. Also on my wife's new PC.
Always the same bad result.
These two new PC's are both on WIN 7 64 bit OS.

I tried the suggested method of uninstall and then install. Also the disable instructions for Norton AV.
Still no success. When I again check the list of programs in Control Panel for possible uninstall the Flash Player 10 has returned there.
But the player does not play when needed for some videos on Facebook, etc.
One thing I could not find to disable on Norton AV was "Smart Firewall." It was not in my NAV 2011.
Any other suggestions appreciated.

Hi, I would try this method and see if it works better. There is a link for FF(Firefox) If you don't use FF, ignore that. Also before you begin this procedure, I need to know what Anti-Virus/Spyware programs you have Installed. Some will block the Install of Flash Player and that needs to be taken care of first.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF(If needed/used) and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

Run the program and click the "Copy report to clipboard" button when it displays the results. Then return here and paste the report into a response to your initial post. It can often show if any harmful files/programs are dragging down your performance.
Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND DECIDED TO UNINSTALL FIREFOX 3.6.4 AND REINSTALL FIREFOX 3.5.10. AFTER I DID THIS, I WAS ABLE TO PLAY ALL THE GAMES WITHOUT GETTING THE CRASH PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD ALL LIKE TO KNOW...GOOD LUCK...I'M STAYING W/FIREFOX 3.5.10!!!!!!!!!!!

Adobe Flash Player says not installed when it is.

Adobe Flash Player shows as installed on the primary Admin account (and works there) all other Admin and regular user accounts say it isn't installed.
I have tried installing as various users and Administrator status, but I get the same response.
"Install Successful"
"Adobe Flash Player not Installed"
I am new to MAC, but can't fathom how this could be Apples fault. Unfortunately, Adobe support requires Adobe Flash Player to access help content.

To find the folder I went to Finder > Library > Internet Plug-ins.
The folder is empty and says 0 files. I am not currently on an Admin log-in, but I'm used to files showing regardless. When installing, I am asked for the Admin account and log in info before the file will load.
I downloaded the latest flash player from Adobe this morning.
Virtual Drive: What I am used to being an installation file in Windows shows up as a disk drive icon on my desktop. I have to "eject disk" to get rid of it. I thought it was just a "MAC" thing. Other software loaded this way, but also had me drag an icon to the Applications folder. Adobe does not.
I am starting to wonder if there is a file sharing issue that isn't allowing me to see some software. I noticed I also do not see data in 'Public' when I know I added pictures there in another account. I can't remember changing any settings on my MBA. I have only had it a month and have been afraid of messing up my first MAC.
Thanks for staying with this.

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.
