Flash Player 9 Install Problems on Mac OS X

I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac
OS X 10.3.9 and now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even
Explorer (which I don't use). I have been sure to close all
browsers, uninstall first etc. The installations appears to
complete successfully, but I get the following error message on any
page that has flash:
The page “Adobe” attempted to load an Internet
plug-in named “Shockwave Flash”, but the plug-in failed
to load successfully.
Worse yet, any attempts to install on older version of the
player now give me the same error. I can no longer view any Flash!
If anyone can help (Adobe!), it would be much
appreciated.

Many, many thanks to primes235. AFter hours of trying to
uninstall, reinstall, etc., I used his directions (see step 1,
etc., on his 12/16/06 post. I was able to drag those files (enable
file sharing IF you are networked) from another computer, and all
is working fine now. These files were not really invisible/hidden;
just be sure you delete the ones specified before moving the new
ones.
hI am still not sure why this happened, except I was
following directions that I needed to update flash from
ttp://ecard.ashland.edu/2004admission/index.html
Either that site is buggy, or the new flash is. From the
comments before this, I don't expect a reply from Adobe either. I
tried calling them, but no luck. Crappy customer/tech support. Hope
this helps someone, and thanks again primes235.

Flash Player Install Problems - Mac

I've tried installing the latest (10.3) flash player and, while it says that it successfully installed, when I go to the flash player page where it tells me what version I have (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) it still says 10.0.22.87 and when I try to watch anything on hulu it prompts me to install 10.3 again.
I'm on a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and am using the latest version of firefox.
I've tried using firefox and safari, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing seems to work. It just says it has installed successfully and the same problems happen. I am at a loss. Any help is much appreciated!

Flash Player Install Problem - Mac

Hi Folks,
I can see that this issue has been addressed many times over, but the suggested solutions I've followed aren't helping.
First my system:
iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
I'm using Firefox 18.0
What I've done so far:
Uninstalled previous versions of Flash Player
Checked the Library to delete any related Flash files (there weren't any)
Downloaded the new Player installer (several times)
Rebooted the computer (more than once)
Looked in the Contents>Resources folders for the Adobe Flash Player.pkg ... it wasn't there
Allowed add-ons from Adobe
Looked in Preferences to enable any plug-ins or add-ons that might be related (didn't any).
I'd very much appreciate pointers to the next thing I should try.
Thanks!

This might not help, but I remember my PPC mini (1.25gHz G4) enlightened me to the limitations of the PPC mini.
Namely, video.
I had a favorite game, Stubbs the Zombie-Rebel Without a Pulse, and I played it for two years on my iMac. The the iMac cooked and I was left with my mini.
No more Stubbs because the video wouldn't support it. Not enough VRAM or not the right kind.
Two other games went the same route.
I didn't have Flash problems, but I was running Player 9 up until the mini died last summer.
Of all three games the mini wouldn't run, none is usable now because they don't run in Snow Leopard. I guess it's a good thing because if I was playing games all day I'd never learn anything in school.
The Flash Player 10 requirements say 64Mb (852x480 (480p),24 fps), 64Mb (1,280x720 (720p),24–30 fps) or 128 Mb (1,920x1,080 (1080p),
24 fps) of VRAM. My G4 only had 32Mb and that killed it for gaming.
Your Apple System Profiler will indicate how much VRAM is in your mini.

Flash player installation problem on MAC

I have repeatedly tried to download and install Flash player v14 for my MacBook Pro and it constantly hangs at the "Retrieving Install" screen never moving past 0%. Then it times out and says the install has failed. I have also completely wiped old versions of Flash from my system (now NO Flash-enabled sites will work at all--even more frustrating).
Any clues to remedy? Thanks.

The new Adobe Flash 14 installer does not work when you have an automatic proxy set. I've installed many versions of Flash on Mac without problems, but the new v.14 installer would never even start the download. (Of course the installer dmg would download, but when I ran the installer app, the download of Flash would not start, seemingly hanging at "Retrieving Installation"). I tried the uninstaller, which worked great. Then I tried installing v.13, which also worked fine. But I only got v.14 to install after I ... went to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and de-selected Automatic Proxy Configuration. Be sure to make a note of your Automatic Proxy URL, because after installing Flash and going back to the network Preference, I saw that the Automatic Proxy Configuration field was blank. But when I re-entered my APC URL, and clicked to select APC, all was well and I had flash installed while still able to browse external web sites when behind my companies firewall.

Flash Player Install Problem

Hi, I have had a terrible time trying to install Flash Player. I used to have it but recently lost it and can not install it anymore. I get a Failed to Register error message about halfway through the install. I am running IE11, McAfee Virus software and have purchased and ran RegCure Pro. My active x is turned off and I tried to install with a new admin account. Nothing has worked. My virus software has only quarantined one potentially unwanted program - Generic Pup .a I think the quarantine happened around the same time but it may not be even related. I have a 2.7 GHz processor and Windows 7. Any suggestions on how I can reload Flash Player? It used to work and update all the time. Thank you

If you installed the legitimate Flash Player activeX control
installer from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
then no, we wouldn't be looking for Compuserve.
Now, I have seen one or two sites spoofing the Flash Player
installer for malicious purposes. If it doesn't come from Adobe.com
it's not necessarily safe. But that isn't necessarily the problem
either.
If at some point Compuserve (which is a very legitimate and
venerable BBS that became a big ISP similar to AOL..) may have been
on your machine and installed some type of dialer application for
dialup connections. Look in add/remove programs to see if you have
any compuserve related entries. If there's nothing there look in
processes.
If you still don't find anything.. well then I'm not sure
where to go next.

Adobe Flash Player Install problem

I have been trying to install Adope Flash player on my
computer. It seems to be installed but flash programs will not
open. When I look in the currently installed programs list the
Adobe Flash Player has a red X on it. What could be the possible
problem? I am using Windows XP home edition.
Thanks,

Hi regztfen,
If you’re having difficulties with the ActiveX
installer on IE these steps will typically resolve the issue:
Try this first: Instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling
the Flash Player:
1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
instruction and close all running programs.
3. Open the following folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
4. Run the uninstaller
5. What files are left in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
6. If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
7. Install the Flash Player from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
8. Test the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
Also check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
system administrator. For single users who do not have an
administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
options are set to "Prompt".
To change your security level:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
Finally, it may be that you have incorrect permissions in the
system registry:
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registry
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
Test the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
If you still require support, please open a free support case

Flash Player install problems

I have repeatedly downloaded lastest version of Flash Player, each time getting a successful download message. But each time I try to play video, I get a message that I need to download Flash. My computer meets all the requirements for Flash Player 11. What's wrong?

When we visit Flash Player Version, the window to showing the version is blank as is the earlier test video window.
We use the following:
OS Windows Vista Home Basic.
Browser Internet Explorer, MSN
We can play both videos you provided, as well as anything on youtube.
Following are URL's to videos that are not working. In every case, a message appears that need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing, same thing happens.
http://msnvideo.msn.com/?channelindex=2&from=en-us_msnhp&form=msnrll&gt1=42010#/video/e2f0 6b38-fb1c-4753-a853-f3cf3ade85aa

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-11-2013/on-topic---indecision-2004
Also, can't see video on The Weather Channel App. In every case, a message appears that need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing, same thing happens.

How do I get the latest adobe flash player installed on my mac if it's not excepting my adobe password.

I am unable to watch most videos on my Macbook because i keep getting a message stating that I need to update to the latest version. When I try to do that, I get a prompt to enter my adobe password, but my password is not working at that prompt. That same password works on adobe.com though. Can someone help me?

I found the answer to this question.....Thanks!

Flash Player install starts, then fails.

My Flash Player install on my Mac fails after about 10 seconds. No message - just installation failed.
I've repaired permissions, closed my browser, cleaned up everything I can think of, all to no avail.
Any ideas?

Chris,
I unistalled, which I had done previously. I didn't find any Flash Player files in the folders that are mentioned,
Delete all remaining files and folders locating in the following folders:
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\Flash Player.plugin
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\flashplayer.xpt
~\Library\Preferences\Macromedia\Flash Player\
~\Library\Caches\Adobe\Flash Player\
so I'm assuming a clean uninstall.
I then tried another Install and got the same result. Couldn't find a Flash Player Install log! Here's the Directory log.

Hope this means something to you.

It is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed. I've tried quitting Safari. Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet. How to fix?

Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish". It then directs me to troubleshooting. I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
Hope that information helps.
