Flash Player 9 failing to download

Can anyone help? Notwithstanding the issues that seem to be
surrounding Flash 9 (according to the Forum) I can't get it anyway.
I have v7 installed and was browsing the "Casino Royale" site
a few weeks ago which told me I needed Flash 8 - click to download.
This took me to the Adobe download page (for v9) which fails to
download every single time.
I also cannot now play 'winks' in Windows Live Messenger - I
assume that in the last day or two they have upgraded so that v9 is
needed. Their link also fails to download Flash 9. The 'emergency
link' then just takes me back to Adobe's download page which
doesn't work.
I keep leaving negative feedback on this page but they still
don't amend the page so it works.
How have those that have v9 got it? Is there an alternative
site that works? I can't find one anywhere that doesn't take me
back to Adobe's faulty non-functioning download page.
Help!

I am having the same issue. I purchased an ebook knowing I had adobe on my computer. The book needs the digital edition to run and for some unknown to me reason flash doesn't work on my internet explorer and I've tried on netscape where flash works but the download stalls and I don't know if its actually doing anything or not. No security warnings pop up or anything. I've been trying for hours to get it to work...and now thinking I wasted the money on my book. I run vista on a new computer and cannot download the Digital Edition and no clue how to make it work. Is there a way to download it manually onto my desktop where I can install it from there?? skipping flash and java and all that stuff totally? I've been looking and haven'tt found it.
Thanks.

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)

HT1338 still asking for adobe flash player even when I downloaded it already

I downloaded adobe flash player as directed but still cannot open my teacher's email link, still asking for my adobe flash player.

You have to download AND install Flash Player. Did you run the downloaded Flash Player installer?

Keeps telling me to download adobe flash player and its already downloaded

i am new to the MacBook Air. I downloaded a game from the apps store. Whenever I try to play, it keeps telling me to download the Adobe Flash Player and its already downloaded and is up to date.

No game from the App Store could be prompting you install Flash. Only a web page could do that. Does the game open a web page?

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

When trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

when trying to use flash player it says to download the player. i have the latest player

I can assume that you're using IE11, and probably with Windows 8.1.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

I want to update Adobe flash player on iMac,though download stops at 30% and doesn't move and finish at all,it stops completely,

Flash Player keeps failing in safari

I am using mac OS X Yosemite.
For some unknown reason flash keeps failing in safari, but works in chrome. I can't seem to resolve this issue, This is what I tried so far from answers I received in the apple support forums:
If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
We have also run diagnostics on my mac but could not resolve this and eventually I was told the only thing left to do is seek support from adobe.
Please help!

alright, also, I saw that in those instructions it tells me to delete these:
<home directory>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player
<home directory>/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash\ Player
now I can't find any of that stuff but I did find two files called com.macromedia.Flash Player.plugin.sb
in the library sub folders. should I delete them?

Flash Player refuses to be Downloaded.

First off, I'm running on windows XP and Internet explorer 8. I've tried multiple times to download the latest flash player. However, each attempt had ended in failure. I've done everything suggested on the help page; I have downloaded the uninstaller, closed my running applications, run the unistaller, and rebooted. No change. So, I tried downloading the EXE version of the downloader. Again, I got a "failed to download" errors message. I tried messing around with the Internet security controls, as well as my personal firewalls and scanners. Again, nothing. Each time the download proceeds to about 1/3 of the way complete, and gets to a Registry stage of some sort (the exact point is at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10c.ocx) and gives a window that says "Failed to install." then refers me to the troubleshooting site. Can anyone verify and correct this error?

Just recently, I downloaded the ProcessMonitor program. Through it I found out a few extra tidbits.
#1 There are a handful of areas that denied access to the attempted downloads.
#2 ALL of them start with the names HKCR\
#3 from what I could see, a couple of them were HKCR\.sol HKCR\.sor and HKCR\.mfp
However, I have no idea what to do in order to access or alter these files in order to allow access.

Flash Player 9 fails to properly install

I have tried everything I know to get Flash9 to
work. After uninstalling I restart my computer and install flash.
It says it was installed but when I go back to Adobe site and test
the player nothing except Shockwave comes up. I am using Netscape
and never had this problem with anyother versions. The strange
thing is that the install program dumps everything into
c:windows\system32\macromedia\flash. There is nothing in the
Netscape plugin folder. Also when I try to download Flash9 it
finishes in about 3 sec. Each time I try a fresh download I get
different results. Sometimes after installing I am asked to install
flash sometimes not. I opened a case with support but have not
heard anything as yet. This is getting to be a real pain.If there
are issues with the download file I hope they get resolved because
something just doesn't seem right.
Thanks for any help-Bob

Bentley,Thanks for the reply. I had prior to this posting
opened a case and got some information from that. I downloaded
another uninstaller and the Flash Player installer. I uninstalled
it,restarted my machine and installed flash. After that I restarted
again and the connected to net. I got a window asking if I wanted
to install flash. I clicked yes and got an error message that
install failed. After the install I went to
c;windows/system32/macromedia/flash. The files installed there
were: flash player.xpt,install file,NPSWP32.dll,NPSWP32_flashutil
and uninstall plugin. I then went to the Netscape plugin folder and
there was nothing in it for flash. I don't understand this at all.
Prior to this version I never had a problem installing flash.On
other versions once the install was done I would get window asking
me to install and then I wouls go to page to test player and it
always showed up and they worked just fine. Is something missing
from the download? Shouldn't there also be an .ocx file? Why would
the install fail to install the necessary file into the Netscape
plugin folder? Thanks for any insight into this. Bob

Flash Player Configuration Failed

I've been having this problem with Firefox 6.0.2 and Shockwave Flash 10.0.32.18
Every time I tried to download the Flash Player I got a Configuration Failed message.
I finally got around after noticing on the Firefox Tools -> Add Ons - > Click to see if your plugins are up to date that there was a message about Firefoix disabling Flash for security reasons.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
I downloaded the Flash player and the latest version of Firefox.
I uninstalled Firefox answering yes to get rid of everything.
I then installed the flashplayer before installing firefox.
Went to the website I was having the problem about missing plugin and it's now working fine.
Couldn't find this solution elsewhere so I thought I'd stick it up for anyone else having the same issues.
BTW I also had stopped my ad popup blocker and done the resynch time solution offered elsewhere.

Flash Player not working after downloading new version

I downloaded Flash Player 10 and it does not work.I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I have tried the trouble shooting. I have made sure its enabled under Active X and it does not work at all now. I have tried to download Flash Player 9 and now that will not download. I regularly use site that require Flash and I am shut down until I can figure out what is wrong. Please help.

I have the same issue after I was prompted yesterday to upgrade my Flash player. With the new version, 2/3 of Flash pages do not work. But 1/3 do work !
Example of page that does not work with new version of Flash :
http://www.youtube.com/ (the whole site)
http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/ (Adobe's official Flash page !)
Example of page that does work with new version of Flash :
http://www.voleursdechevaux.be/page_flash.html
On first glance, I would say that Flash loaded through JavaScript fails. Only Flash embedded through HTML works. But I am not competent enough to discover why.
Here is my current configuration (the version test at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html works well) :
Player Version : WIN 10.0.22.87
Debug Player : no
Operating System : Vista
Browser : Internet Explorer 8
Locale : French

Flash Player 10--failed to register

I have been trying to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10, but cannot make it happen. I have tried with both IE7 & IE8. I have tried installing from your site and also downloading the executable file. From your site I get the error, "Failed to register". If I use the downloaded executable file, Install_Flash_Player_10_ActiveX.zip, the error I get is "Failed to Install." I have read many of the forum threads on this and, as suggested there, have tried going to the DOS command prompt and typing, "secedit...", but DOS says the command does not exist. What can I do?

the fastest solution is this:
Open register
go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
select this number with a right click
select permissions and put a V on averybody and anonimous controll and read
than you can install flash 10 from the adobe site as usual
this works on windows 7 and XP

Adobe Flash Player 10 failed to register

Hello, I don't know much about how Adobe Flash Player works or how to fix this issue. I have a XP Pro SP3 and my flash player worked fine when I first installed it. Then one day, I turned on my laptop and let it load and suddenly my flash player would not work. I then proceeded to uninstall and reinstall the player assuming that would help, however I was wrong. I then tried ridding my computer of all adobe products and was hoping to reinstall them right after rebooting. That was a great idea except excruciating problem, my computer WILL NOT allow me to uninstall Adobe Reader, or Adobe AIR.
When I do try to uninstall the programs, I get this message
" This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
Please download the latest version of runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair ,
or contact the application author for an updated version. "
I also get a similar message when I try to uninstall Adobe Reader.
I would really appreciate some help with this as it is a major inconvienence for me.
Thank you in advance,
Cody518

After going through my control panel and looking at my add/remove programs section, I currently have Adobe AIR, Adobe Download Manager, and Adobe Reader 9.3.1
I've also tried updating my adobe reader and I get an update failed notice saying
" Cannot establish a connection. Please try again later. "
I obviously have a internet connection, so why would this happen?

Flash Player: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation. Mac OSX

I'm working on a mac running 10.10.1 Yosemite in Safari. My current Flash version is 15.0.0.
On most videos and pictures it now says 'Your Flash Player is out of date".
I've clicked on this icon, which opens saying do you want to download the newest version, and clicked yes.
I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player Update several times.
The downloading always works, the problem is with the installation:
It failed the first time, and all following times it 'picks up' at about 30% then goes up all the way to 97% (sometimes 99%) and then says: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation.
I've tried all the links in the forums saying download directly from here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg - but safari can't find the link.
I wanted to deinstall Flash Player and found this link on the adobe website(Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS): http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player_os x.dmg -> but it says "Safari can't find the server fpdownload.macromedia.com" so I can't even uninstall it!
I have no idea what else to try???
I also tried to open all those links in Firefox and Chrome and they weren't found there either.
Has anyone ideas what I can do? All the links that I found in the forum which solved the problem for others are 'not found' when I click on them.
Thanks for any tipps!!!
