Update Adobe Flash Player on my iMac

I am trying to update my current version of Adobe Flash Player on my iMac. My iMac has Mac OS X version 10.7.5, and I use Safari as my primary browser (although that probably doesn't much matter.
After opening and launching the installer, I get a message indicating that I need to quit "DashboardClient" in order to continue the installation. I do not know how to comply. There is a Dashboard in the OS, but I do not know how to quit it....

Use the Activity Monitor to close running processes on a Mac.

Why no working flash player en my iMac?

I can't use flash player in my Imac

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I keep getting the message blocked plug-in. I have the latest flash player installed and am using Safari version 5.1.10. Can anyone please provide a simple explanatio and cure????

Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 . I can download but the install stops at 50%. I have allowed plug ins.
any hints?

jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823 ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
--- Those steps in detail:
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

Latest Flash Player doesn't work on Safari no matter how many times I download it but it works just fine on Firefox

I am using Safari version 7.0 on my iMac. Am on Mavericks OS X 10.9.   Safari is always prompting me to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I have done this now have Version 11.4 but still unable to get it to work on Safari.   If I use FireFox, there never is a problem. What can I do to make the Flash Player function while using Safari?

    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

I installed adobe flash player for my imac, and now there is no video

Just sound plays when I go to let's say Youtube. What did I do wrong and how do I go back to watching videos? I use safari as my browser. I have a 2GHZ Intel Core Duo Running version 10.4.11
Any help would be much appreciated.

"What did I do wrong and how do I go back to watching videos?"
By doing the following if you have not already done so................
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing.
*Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.*
"I have a 2GHZ Intel Core Duo"
You posted in the wrong forum area. This area is for G5 iMacs problems. I have requested a HOST to move your post to the proper forum.
Please correct your system info. G5 iMacs & Intel iMacs are 2 different type of iMacs.

I have installed flash player on my imac but it won't work?

flash player will not work after i installed it on my imac?

What version of OS X are you using? Are you trying to use Flash Player with Safari?

When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player. iMac + OS Mavericks. I have tried it many times. Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer. Aggro+++++++

OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too. So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player. It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
Good to know it was not Adobe…….
Thank you,

Problems installing flash player in my IMac (intel)

I recently bought the latest IMac (Intel) desktop, and went to YouTube, but it tells me that I need to download the latest adobe flash player in order to view YouTube clips. When I went to the adobe site to download the latest flash player, I am having problems downloading it - error message saying "Mounting failed". What is the solution to this problem? Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Wilbs23

Did you go to the Adobe site via a link supplied with the error message, or directly from your own bookmark?
I ask because error messages like that are often used by malware perpetrators to take you to a fake webpage and download their malware.
Flash Player 10.3.181.22 is the current version, and there are two instances of it - one for Firefox, Safari and Opera, and a seperate one for the Chrome browser.
I updated mine only last week without problems, but it has to be said I'm not on a new machine and I'm running 10.6.4 rather than 10.6.7 so there may be something I'm not aware of there.

Flash player does not work in safari

I need to install updated Flash player when I click on the 'install' button for Flash player - nothing happens. I have tried to 'uninstall' and again nothing happens.
Running 10.7.4 and have Safari plug-ins enabled. Can anyone help? thanks

I suspect a corrupt cache file someplace, I've seen this occur with Flash before.
Run the #12 OnyX routine here, that will flush and rebuild the caches.
12: OnyX cache cleaning
Category: OS X, application and User account software related
Description: Gives OS X, application and user account caches a enema, lets then rebuild again new, resolves strange and unknown issues based on cache files being corrupted .
Only cache files are removed, not users data, files, programs or OS X. Some settings will be set back to normal in Finder and other locations. Spotlight will rebuild a new database.
Problems possibly resolved: Varied, performance and privacy related
Instructions:
Apple doesn't supply a easy method for the user to self clean the caches, thus we have to turn to third party software.
Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks, stop if any give a warning, you have a bigger problem. See #4
Run though all the Maintenance and Cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues. You need to REBOOT at the end of using OnyX. Canceling the in-between reboot requests is fine.
Read Step #13 and perform the Verify > Preferences before rebooting at the end of using OnyX.
Get the free OnyX here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnyX
Just a few of OnyX many successes:

Step by Step to fix your Mac

How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Adobe Flash Player Will Not Work with Safari Mac OS 10.9.2

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS 10.9 and get Plug-in error when I try to run it. Before the suggested update, Flash Player ran fine. I would not have tried the update except the files on the web site that I am usinf had a symnbol statiing that the later version of Flash Player was required for it to run.
I did what Adobe suggested and removed the plug-in and then reinstalled it. Still does not work. When is Adobe going to fix it? I think it was not well researched before the release, and it definately has compatibility issues with Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks
Thanks,
Fred

Hi Mike M,
Thanks for the quick response. It worked OK after I did this, and I alerted other users in my MUG just in case they have a similar aged Macs. I hope that the fix for this will be automatic in the next update.
