Flash Player 9 Installation Fails on Mac OS X

My flash player won't work on my Intel based Mac OS X Tiger
anymore. I've tried to reinstall it several times, and nothing
works. What's the roundabout way of doing it? I am about to
reformat my computer to see if that works, but I'd rather not for
the sake of all the trouble I would have to go through. Please
help. Thanks.

It pretends that it has installed properly, then a box
appears at the top of my screen saying:
The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content
of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you
don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in
should be available on this page:
https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer.
How do I properly install it? Thanks.

Flash Player 13 Installer fails at 55%

I have an i7 iMac, running OSX 10.9.2 and I can't get Flash player 13 to install. It fails at 55% every time. I've tried with nothing else running at all except finder. I've downloaded it three times and still no love. Adobe's "troubleshooting" site is nothing more than pictures of the install process, completely unhelpful in the event of a problem. Anyone else have a similar issue? I'm going to restart and see if that helps.

From your linked article:
"Flash Player now attempts to use CPU instructions that are not available on a subset of supported Mac hardware from 2006 to 2007. "
Since, as I stated above, I have a 2012 iMac, I'm not affected by this bug. Also, I'm not having "plugin failure" as that implies the plugin installed successfully and then failed during operation.
The problem I was having is that the installer program was failing the install process, giving no reason why, and Adobe's troubleshooting sites to which the installer links are abject garbage.
For the record, after a restart the installer completed successfully. I have a feeling that there was a memory issue somewhere or a process that was running which it didn't like.
Still no reason to have such uninformative installer information, and such completely unhelpful troubleshooting pages though.

Flash Player 14 installer fails on MacOS X Lion

Context :
MacOS X 10.7.5
file-system thoroughly checked recently: OK
I read all the FAQ about similar problems, and didn't find any correct explanation.
I don't consider "Try this, try that, try once more." correct explanation.
On an attempt to upgrade from the
System Preferences > Flash Player ,
the download ran correctly,
the disk image opened correctly,
the installer started correctly,
but this installer just stayed there and apparently,
didn't do anything and didn't display any warning or error.
After a few minutes sitting and watching at this total software death,
the only visible way was to exit the installer.
Unfortunately, there is nothing installed.
How may I let this installer run in a more intelligent and communicating mode?

This standalone installer fixed this problem:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
This disk image doesn't tell which version it is for, and today it is installing version 14.0.0.125
without any unsollicited other piece of software.

How can I install Flash Player 11.7 on my Mac?

I've been trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11.7. on my Mac for months. Finally, today I decided to "take the bull by the horns" and have spent several hours trying to get to the bottom of the problem -- to no avail. I've followed every support directive on Google, on Mac Support, and on Adobe Support and Forums (so difficult to use, by the way). Now my computer has NO Flash Player; I've uninstalled it as directed in one step of the process.
I'm running a MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.6.8
My browser is Mozilla Firefox
Please help

It didn't install following your steps.

Adobe Flash Player 12 installation error

I cannot install Adobe Flash Player 12. I go through all of the setting and just when I think it's about to finish I get the "General Installation Error" message.
I've trashed all the Flash Player folders in my library but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
This link is probably more useful though not in my case.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml
I too get the General Installation error and have followed the advice on the Adobe website.
"Close all browsers if an error message appears."
I have closed all browsers (force quit) but still get the "General Installation Error", interesting I also get update Garmin communicator.
I have 18GB free on my drive.
Any ideas what would cause the Mac Installation packages to fail?

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

Hi,
Looks like this is something from Promethean Planet and it's using Flash Player. Found the following that should help:

Disregard "Flash Player 12 installer hangs at 95% complete. Repeatedly." below.

I originally asked this question, then found an answer.
I followed a suggestion to trash an application support folder from the Library, and restarted. Then the installer worked OK.
Still not plekased with Adobe online help, and I can't find a way to respond to my own question, so I'm posting this instead.

We're getting a lot of these complaints with this latest update and Snow Leopard...
I made a PDF with illustrated, detailed instructions to resolve it: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
Use THIS file with those instructions: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)

Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up. satellite Internet connection

Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.
