Flash Player 12 fails to download

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1) with Windows Internet Explorer 11 (version 11.0.9600.16476). I have been told that Flash Player 12 is available, but when I follow the usual steps to attempt to download/install it (from Adobe's website), the "Do you want to save..." prompt never appears, so I have no way to download it, much less install it. How do I solve and/or work around this?

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Flash Player won't download for IE7

    Since the update of IE7 of last week, I can't download Adobe
    Flash Player. I tried downloading it using Firefox and it downloads
    but installs only on Firefox, so I suppose the player is browser
    specific.
    I need the player when I go to www.nytimes.com and click on
    the video box, which now a days says I need to update the Flash
    Player. I click on the button and it takes me to Adobe downloads,
    but when I click for download (agree and install), a new page says
    I have to allow downloads and instructs me to "Important Message:
    You may need to click the gold bar at the top of the browser window
    to allow the install." The thing is that there is no yellow ribbon
    for the Adobe website, so I can't really allow for the pop-up
    (download). I switched off the pop up blocker and still can't get
    the player to download. As I said, this all started after that rush
    job by Microsoft to update IE last week.
    I run Windows XP, SP3.
    What could I be doing wrong?

    I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
    will not download or install, but will download and install for
    Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
    find something out, it would be freat!

    I need the flash player to do my college statistics homework but it will not work!!!!! I was prompted by my textbook's website to update my flash player, so I followed the link as well as all the instructions on the adobe website. The flash player starts to download, then tells me to close internet explorer. i close explorer and retry. then, the adobe webpage comes up saying it's been installed, but when i try to go back and use my e-textbook, it says i need to update my flash player and i'm in the same place i started! help!

    Windows 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Make sure you use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer when you try to use Flash Player, or checking the Shockwave Flash add-on.
    What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit Windows), or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit Windows) ?

  • Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

  • If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

    If I run both Firefox and IE 11 which Flash Player do I download or can I download both?

    Hi,
    Firefox and IE uses different plugins of Flash Player but you can install both in your system.
    Just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer from IE browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install ActiveX plugin of Flash Player which is used by IE
    And if you go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ from Firefox browser and Install Flash Player -> It will install NPAPI plugin of Flash Player which is used by Firefox.
    Hope it resolves your query.

  • HT5655 is adobe flash player safe to download to my mac

    is adobe flash player safe to download to my mac

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you need Flash for important tasks, download and install it > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I do not recommend you to use it due to the number of security issues it has got, but if you need it, you can install it without any problem. Just make sure you keep it updated

  • Flash Player can't download?

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium and when I try to download Flash Player 10 it downloads all the other things such as the unplug or the update helper but not the actual flash player, I have read the troubleshooting instructions to download on Vista but it does not work for me. Can you help?

    Hi, I understand what you mean. I just set out instructions for another user today. Following is the thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/581376?tstart=0
    The instructions are for Firefox. However you can follow everything in Post#1, except the 2nd link(that's the Install
    link for FF) you would use instead the link listed in Post#3. Everything else is the same in Post #1 including the Go here to test. Right below that if you know where the Flash files are, you can do that. "The FF plugin for SWF" of course you would skip over. Instead you would go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...
    Flash10e.ocx and make sure it is Enabled.
    Checking the Flash files is something that is done after you test at the Adobe site.
    If you have any questions, please just ask.
    Thanks,

  • Help. Flash player fails to update??

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit computer. Update for Flash player failed at 65% with comment :- error failed to register-: how do I overcome this problem please

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David

  • I rec'd a video and when I tried to play it it said ipadgo have Flash Player and to download it when I tried it said I could not download it to my Apple iPad2 how do I open it?

    I rec' a notice when trying to play a video from Facebook saying I had to have flash player and to download it . When I tried it said it wasn't compatible with my iPad 2.  How do I open it?

    Flash is not available for iOS. Use the Facebook app or you might try on of the alternate browsers such as iSwifter or Puffin.
