Flash Player 9 mac osx install problem

For ages now I've been trying to install flash 9 on my mac (OSX latest version), and it doesnt work. I can download the installer, open it and run it. The installation works up until "4 items remaining" when the install bar starts showing grey and white stripes with a message above or below which says "searching macintosh hd". This goes on indefinitely, Ive tried leaving it for a while and eventually it just freezes. At the moment I have absolutely no internet video capability, not anything flash based anyway. help me please.

I have the similar problem on my iMac Intel Duo Core running OS X 10.4.9. The Installer told me that I don't have the access privileges to install Flash when the progress bar shows 1 item remaining (flashplayer.xtp). I tried repairing disk permission with Onyx and starting up from the OS X Install DVD but all these didn't help. I am using the correct installer (the Universal Binary one).
ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!

Flash Player 9 OSX Install Question???

Greetings! Recently my Flash Player stopped operating, and
prompts came up on screen to go to Adobe's website to download
Flash Player 9 OSX. After double checking which version to
download, I proceded with it's installation. After the download was
over, the prompt came up again as not having the Flash player.
Here's a copy of the prompt:
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
Why does it keep cycling itself back to saying I don't have
the software? Am I missing something here? I've tried so many
times, I've lost count! ANY help, suggestions, etc... would be MUCH
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Doug Martin

Matt,
If you have the luxury of living near by a Certified Apple
Store... go there! Purchase the "ProCare" card, and they'll do a
REINSTALL the latest OS X 10.4.10. Worked IMMEDIATELY after the
reinstall... no problems since. Good luck, Matt!

I Need a Flash Player - Mac OSX 10.5.8 Intel

I have a MAJOR problem. My flash player had no issues for years but I tried updating it to fix Safari and had to uninstall my Flash player. This created all kinds of problems.
Naturally, when a page tells me to update my Flash player, it brings me to the Adobe page that says my OS doesn't support the latest version of Flash and I need to find an archived version.
From what I've researched, I need to use Flash player 10.3.183.90 .........so I found that archived version. I'm opening the "Install Adobe Flash Player" folder and it just keeps bouncing in my dock...nothing happens.
I'm so frustrated that I don't know what to do anymore. All I'm asking for is a working version of Flash here. Please help me.

I just figured out a possible solution to the bouncing folder issue. Instead of double clicking on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon in the .dmg folder, right-click (control-click) and select "Show Package Contents" from the resutling pull-down menu.
Then select the following file: (folder) / Contents / Resources / Adobe Flash Player.pkg
Double-click to open. It should open the installer app "Install Plugin" and will run after you click continue.
I was able to get this archived version of Flash Player working in Safari on OS X 10.5.8 on MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Duo. It also works within Google Chome, but you have to allow it each time it's called. No workaround for that hiccup.
Huge pain in the *** though! It really feels like Apple and Adobe both don't want you to easily find and install this version of the Flash Plaer, even though many websites still require the plugin to view certain content. In my case, it's content shown on my son's school's e-learning website Egenuity.com — which for us is s non-negotiable, since it's his eduction—not a video game.
This B.S. cost me an hour of time to figure out how to reslove this problem for him. It's unlikely that most parents (or the school's Windows IT staff) are as savvy as me when it comes to troubleshooting these types of Mac OS issues. Which means that other students and their parents with this Mac OS X 10.5.8 (or ealier) setup will face similar frustration. Unacceptable Adobe!

White 20 inch intel mac osx install problem

I'm trying to reinstall OSX Lion onto an older, 2.16 GHZ, 20 inch intel Mac. I had to reinitialize the hard drive before the install. When I try to perform the install it tells me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. The disk was reinitialized using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I have noticed, however, that when I select the hardrive (not the partition) in Disk Utility that the Volume Format is MS-DOS (FAT).
Any suggestions or workarounds would be appreciated.
Gary

The partition should be GUID and the Hard Drive should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
BTW it's an iMac.

Flash Player 10 osx install Crashes

My safari was crashing, and the error I got was that it was because of flash. After unistalling it from my computer and runing disk utility to repair my permissions and resetting safari and clearing the cache. I downloaded the new version and after 6% complete it stops istalling and tells me that the instaliation has failed.
I need help finding out how to install it without crashing. Yes I already tried downloading the installiation dmg file 3 times and the same thing keeps happening.

Flash Player 9 OSX problems

I’m running a Mac 1.5 Ghz Power PC G4 laptop with a gig
of ram with an OS of 10.4.10. Using Firefox version 2.0.0.6.
The problem is flash player will not work unless I run
“Applejack” followed by reinstalling Flash Player 9
OSX. This will work for a day or so it then stops working showing
the ghosted QuickTime logo with a question mark layered on top of
the logo.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much!

I'm having trouble too. I'm using an Intel based MacBook,
running OS 10.4.10. I've tried downloading flash player several
times and each time it appears like I've installed it until i'm
brought to the adobe page saying i've completed the installation,
but then i'm prompted by my browser to install flash player...
which i thought I just did! And now I can't go on any webpage that
requires flash player... my older version was deleted. I really
need help, There are a lot of pages that I need to access, that I
can't right now.

Flash Player will not Install-Mac

The specs of my machine are as follows:
I was alerted to the need to install a new flash version a few days ago. I attempted, and failed, to achieve the install. Thereafter, I shut down all my security and firewall programs, unistalled all of my previous versions, restarted the computerr, and attempted it again. I failed again. And again. Repeatedly. I then uninstalled the 11, installed the 10.5, and found none of my websites would accept the out of date flash player. Now I have no flashplayer, and no way to aquire a new one.
Here is the specifics of what goes wrong: 1) I download the installer:
2)I open it:
3)I Click "Install Adobe Flash Player." It runs quickly for a second, then brings me to 'my update' preferences. I selecet the first one, as shown in screenshot. (Im aware this is unlikely to be relevant, Im just attempting to be thorough):
4) I Click "next" and the installer begins to run, as a blue progress line crosses the window:
5) When it reaches the 7% shown (within 2 seconds) it remains there (for roughly 20 seconds). Then the window cashes, disappearing. NO error message is shown. If there was, it would be included.
I have attempted the fix represented in the "troubleshooting" section of the adobe flash program download FRQs page. It explains that if the installer stalls, I should control click the installer, open the "show contents"selection, and active a sub installer (?) from within.
The Adobe website representation:
My computer lacks the indicated file. Instead I have:
I have attempted to open all of the files in 'Contents-Resources.' No success.
Please Help. Any assistance would be very much appriciated. Ive attempted to put every aspect of the problem here as clearly as possible. I can answer any other questions in the pursuit of success.

Moved to the Installing Flash Player forum, as it's unrelated to the Beta.
If you haven't done so already, completely uninstall Flash Player, then re-install the latest version of Flash Player:

Can't install latest version of flash on mac osx!

I've been trying to install the latest version of Flash on my mac but at 30% the download stops and says that the connection is lost and the installation failed.
I have already uninstalled, ran a clean install, tried other browsers and nothing has been working. Can anyone help?!

Hello,
I'm assuming your attempting to use the online installer, downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Please try the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page.

Flash player won't install all the way onto my Mac?

Adobe Flash Player will not install properly on my Mac? It loads to 50% and then stops and says "General Installation Error". Can you help me?

Your troubles aren't coming from Flash Player.
You're missing a file that was made visible by the 10.8.5 update. Hundreds of thousands of Mac users all over the world deleted it, not knowing what it was. It causes this when it's missing.
Download this file: "Secrets" pereference pane by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As". It'll allow you to see "hidden" files.
And this one: mach_kernel.zip
It's the one that's causing your problems... rather it not being on your system is causing them.
Install Secrets, and open your System Preferences.
Open the Secrets Preference Pane, and check "Show hidden files"
You'll need to press the "Quit this" button,
and restart Finder, by right clicking the Dock icon.
Then, place the mach_kernel.zip file in the Mac HD directory,
and unzip it. You should see a "faded" mach_kernel file appear.
Trash the zip file.
Reopen your System Preferences and uncheck "Show Hidden files".
Instead of quitting Finder and relaunching it, reboot your Mac.
Your Flash Player installer won't quit anymore.

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player.

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.
Kelvin
