Adobe flash player 10.1 won't install on Mac OSx

I have a 13 inch Aluminum Macbook. A couple weeks ago I had gone onto Youtube and it had told me that I needed the latest version of player in order to watch it and to download it. I followed the link as told and downloaded it. The download was "successful" And I went on to youtube and even tried other sites and it still wouldn't work. It still said I needed the newest verson of flash player. I've downloaded it numerous times (this is over a 3 week period) I've tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, I've rebooted every time, My browser is up to date, I've tried downloading it from a different site, I've downloaded it in Safe Mood. And nothing seems to help. There must be further settings. I'm not computer savvy so please make a very step by step easy answer. Much help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, you may want to review this thread and see if the info may be helpful. Keep in mind the version of Flash Player mentioned was the current version at that time.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

Flash Player 10.1 won't install

The installer works as expected, and the progress bar gets all the way to 100%, at which point the installer window doesn't close, and an error window pops up which reads:
install_flash_player.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
\Device\Harddisk10\DR10.
I don't have 10 hard disks!
Using Windows 7 (64-bit)
Any help appreciated.

then you can follow these instructions that I gave to another user.

Adobe Flash Player 9 UB won't install

I have a 1st generation MBP and I wanted to view the MLB Draft on MLB.com and it said I needed to update my flash player. Well, I tried to and the installer would go fine all the way up to the point where it says 4 items left to install and gets stuck searching the mac hard drive and never goes past this. I have tried it numerous times and get the same result. I went to the adobe website and downloaded it and tried to install it and I get the same problem. Does anyone else have trouble installing the new universal binary adobe flash player 9 on their MBP?

I am sorry that I did not make clear my major issue. I do not believe that any flash player was installed, but I can play flash video... I do have flip 4 mac and qt pro as well as the old wmp. Browser wise I only have safari and firefox. none of the applicaiton were open durring the "installation" and I tried to repaired the permissions and tried to do the install again. Still no luck. I left the installation screen up all night and when I checked it this morning, I still am stuck on the installation screen saying Items left to install: 4 Searching the MAC harddrive.
Should I contact adobe about this issue? I do not know why flash will not install. I have other adobe products already installed like photoshop and acrobat and indesign....

Flash player always using software video decoding in Mac Mini 2011 w/HD6630M

Hello,
I have Mac Mini 2011 model with AMD Radeon HD6630M graphics.
Everything works perfectly on my system..games, videos in VLC,Quicktime..
Only problem is flash videos on youtube are always using software video decoding but using accelerated video rendering
Even in full screen or window mode its always the same!
I've tried all browsers..Opera, FireFox, Chrome, Safari..all have the same issue!
Even re-installed OS X Mavericks. Same Result!
I've used flash 11.9 & the Beta 12.xx as well..ran the flash uninstaller..nothing it just says the same!
I've checked the Hardware acceleration box & everything. Nothing seems to work!!
Seems to be an issue in Flash player with AMD graphics cards on OSX??
Please FIX!
What else am I supposed to do?? Please FIX your app!

Well i have about 30 days left before the return period is up for the Marantz. I just did a complete restore of my mac mini just about an hour ago. I havent noticed the problem yet but I've only been using it for an hour or so.
I suppose using it without my Marantz would be a good idea. If i see the screen flash out again now, i'll try just connecting to the tv and painfully suffer through the audio on my tv speakers. lol

Win7 won't install in Mac mini SL w/no optical drive, crashes when accessing external HD

I've been trying to install win7 on my Mac Mini with 10.6.8 that doesn't have an optical drive. I've been able to do the bootcamp partition just fine but when it goes to restart into the windows partition with the win7 disk in the external HD, my screen goes grey, then a green with purple border and then black. I have to reboot and if I press the alt/opt key, I'm able to get into OSX again. The research I've done shows I need to create a .iso file which I did with disk utility. I created all types of .iso files, read only, compressed and dvd.cdr files. Nothing is working. Bootcamp is not recognizing any of the 5 thumb drives I've put the .iso files on as I read some drives aren't able to be recognized. The external HD works as I reinstalled SL just fine using it. My research also shows that win7 won't install from an external HD. So I'm at a a loss as to how to proceed from here. I went into my old windows machine to try to create a bootable thumb drive after I install win7 there but the Dell is so old, I don't have a DVD drive in it, only a CD drive. And if I buy a downloadable version of win7 I still need to get it to a DVD or a thumb drive to get it installed.
Does anyone have any ideas? I called Apple and their support ended at "well, we did our job by getting you to the BootCamp partition" which is a crock. It's their design to take out the optical drive and now it's everyone else's problem! Sorry, I know I've got attitude but I'm so frustrated!!
Thanks in advance! I'm posting this here and in bootcamp discussion.

Hatter helped me out without even knowing he helped me out. In cruising through the archives, he advised another problem seeker to unplug everything except 1 monitor, a mouse and a keyboard. Which I did and that solved my problems at last. I also burned my .iso file to a DVD with my MBP and it was able to be read by the external HD. So keep searching the forums peeps, your answer may be there after all!

Mountain Lion Won't Install on Mac Mini (Late 2014)

My relatively new Mac Mini (Late 2014) is running Yosemite.
I have purchased Mountain Lion in order to run a favoured version of sound editing software which is not compatible with either Yosemite or Mavericks.
Attempts to download my purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store result in the following message "We could not complete your purchase. OSX Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer".
The 'Learn More' button takes me to the support article which states that Mountain Lion requires hardware of Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer).
In terms of software, it requires that Lion is already installed.
My query is do I need to purchase Lion and install it before I can install Mountain Lion?
My concern with this is that Lion itself requires Snow Leopard itself installed on the machine!
Cheers,
Lou.

That is correct. Versions of OSX prior to Yosemite do not have the divers to support the 2104 Mac Mini.
You may be able to run ML as a virtual machine (VM) using a VT app like the free VirualBox and paid parallels.
However,you may not be able to get a copy of ML to install unless yo have another Mac that allows you to download the installer.

Snow Leopard simply won't install on Mac Mini

After failing to upgrade over Leopard 10.5 on my Mac Mini (it has 2Gb Ram), I did a reinstall of the original software, erasing the disk and starting fresh. It's now at 10.4.5 with all of the most recent updates installed, and 59.9 Gb memory free on the hard drive, no partitions or peripherals other than the mouse and keyboard; processor 1.66.
The Snow Leopard disk is brand new out of the box. At each attempt at reaches to about '39 minutes left' and then the 'Installation Failed -- could not copy support files' or something like that. The same thing happened when I tried a friend's Family Pack Snow Leopard disk, so it's unlikely that it is the disk itself. And since the reinstall of the original software went fine, the problem doesn't seem to be the optical drive. After about 5 tries, I never get beyond this specific point, and have to start over.
I ran the 'verify disk' utility and it reported that everything seems to be OK with the hard disk.
Any clues as to how to get this to work? I wish I could simply install the 10.5 Leopard, but that disk has gone missing.

That would indeed be the most logical reason for failure, and close inspection of the disk shows some blemishes that were not there at the start of the process. But another attempt to install from another disk -- a 'Family Pack' disk -- produced exactly the same failure at exactly the same point in the process. A firewire option will have to wait for another day, since this one is pretty much shot at this point.
Thanks

Windows7 won't install on mac mini

Attempt to install Win7 full version with boot camp alway ends with black screen and blinking bar cursor upper left corner. This is on a new Mac Mini with super drive DVD. Using Option key on new start up displays the Windows DVD as a boot option. When selected, the screen turns black and displays "Unable to find Bootmgr. Any ideas, suggestions?

Found a fix. I installed the 10.8.5 combo update then tried again. It is working now.

Flash CS 5.5 won't install on Mac OS 10.7

I have a standalone version of Flash Pro 5.5 that refuses to install under Lion on a brand new iMac 27". From the error messages, it looks like it may be problems related to the components of my previous install of CS 5.5 Design Standard. I've rebooted, repaired permissions on the target volume, verified the disk, and still the same thing. A google search and subsequent search of the Adobe Support site gets me nowhere.
Anyone else run into this problem?
TIA

10.5.2 won't install on mac mini power pc G4 - any fellow sufferers?

it just goes back to the grey screen after telling me to restart then holds at the grey screen with the dk grey icon and the wheel - for as long as i'll let it... current record about 3.5 hours... then restarts as easily as ever when i do a shut down using the back button...

It is helpful to have as much background information as possible, but from what you say it implies the system was working correctly in 10.5.1 and perhaps failed at the first reboot (and then all subsequent reboots) after the 10.5.2 update?
If that's the case, then it is probable that the 10.5.2 update did not correctly install - which is often due to pre-existing problems, a fact which Boece is hinting at in the question about how 10.5 was first installed on the system, since there were a number of issues that have been regularly reported with the default 'upgrade' install of Leopard.
That said, it is important to realise that the use of the power button to power-down the system is also capable of causing corruption on the drive or in the drive's directory structure. This is particularly true if power is switched off while the drive is writing data - or attempting to, even if it has stalled. That isn't to say you have much choice, but it does mean your first step at this stage would ideally be to insert your leopard install disc, and reboot, holding the C key down to force the system to boot to the optical drive. Then, after choosing your language, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the internal drive on the left, then click Repair Disc'. This will examine the internal drive for data corruption. If it reports OK, then the drive is healthy and the problem lies purely in a damaged MacOS install. If the drive reports errors and corrects them, try rebooting normally since that may have fixed the issue. If it reports 'error on exit' it means there's damage to the drive's directory structure which will either require a third-party utility such as DiskWarrior to fix, or an 'erase and install' of MacOS - which would wipe all your data unless it is backed up of course.
