Flash Player can't install

I don't know if this question is supposed to be on this forum.
Adobe Flash Player says that it is installed after download, but it never can be found or work. Anything needed to use Flash Player says I need to download it. I have tried to download it many times. No problem on my other Mac with Snow Leopard. Any ideas?
Thanks

If all browsers - you've no Flash in Home /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ ? (inside your account)
Does this means that both "Flash Player.plugin" and "flashplayer.xpt" should be in both locations? (Macintosh hd/ Library / ...) and the account library?
I only have it in the machintosh hd location, and I am having some problems with flash and firefox... (I cannot click to chose to accept to use my microphone for example...)
thanks!

Can't install Adobe Flash Player, can't install Adobe Flash Player, can't install Adobe Flash Player

For some reason I can't install Adobe Flash Player.

This is a community forum focused on MacBook Pro Hardware. Adobe publishes Flash, and they are the ones who would be best to contact about these issues. Here's some info from the Adobe website:

hello , when i try to install flash player on my MAC ( 10.9.4) , the downloading process disappear immediately after starting , it shortly show the 0 percent then disappear so i can't install flash player.
What could i do to fix this ?
Bonjour , l'orque que j'essai d'installer flash player et que la fenêtre d'installation s'ouvre , la barre de chargement disparait aussitôt ne laissant qu'entre percevoir le 0 pour-cent du début.
Par la suite la fenêtre reste vide et donc impossible d'installer flash player .
j'ai déjà essayer de désinstaller flash player de l'installer sur une autre session de mon MAC (10.9.4) mais le problème persiste .
Si quelqu'un a une idée de ce que je pourrais faire , merci d'avance .

1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that may be running.
2. The Adobe link below may help with the install:

Go to the bottom of the page where it says, "Still having problems" and click on the correct link for your browser.
If this works, Bookmark or save the link in case you need it in the future.

Adobe Flash Player: Can't install, can't uninstall

The title says it all. I keep being prompted to "Update Adobe Flash Player right now". However, when I use the download links provided, I end up getting the message, "An error has occurred...." Then, when I try to clean the slate by uninstalling the versions already in my computer, I get the same message: "An error has occurred...."
One thing I've learned is that Adobe's support service is a waste of time, for me, at any rate. This forum is my only hope, because I am unwilling to waste more hours going in circles trying to follow the "help" Adobe provides. Oh, one last thing. Here is the core of the error message I get.
ffmpeg: av_find_stream_info failed
ps: cannot peek
main: no suitable demux module for `/:///Users/warrenjones/Downloads/install_flash_player_osx_ub-11.dmg'
Does that clarify things?

Thanks, but I finally did what I should have done in the beginning, but didn't, simply because the obvious hadn't occurred to me. All that I had to do was drag and trash everything having to do with Adobe Flash Player. After I did that, the download off the latest Flash version went smoothly. Sometimes we make things too difficult by overlooking the simplest solution.. Anyway, thanks again.

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

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:

Adobe Flash Player says not installed when it is.

Adobe Flash Player shows as installed on the primary Admin account (and works there) all other Admin and regular user accounts say it isn't installed.
I have tried installing as various users and Administrator status, but I get the same response.
"Install Successful"
"Adobe Flash Player not Installed"
I am new to MAC, but can't fathom how this could be Apples fault. Unfortunately, Adobe support requires Adobe Flash Player to access help content.

To find the folder I went to Finder > Library > Internet Plug-ins.
The folder is empty and says 0 files. I am not currently on an Admin log-in, but I'm used to files showing regardless. When installing, I am asked for the Admin account and log in info before the file will load.
I downloaded the latest flash player from Adobe this morning.
Virtual Drive: What I am used to being an installation file in Windows shows up as a disk drive icon on my desktop. I have to "eject disk" to get rid of it. I thought it was just a "MAC" thing. Other software loaded this way, but also had me drag an icon to the Applications folder. Adobe does not.
I am starting to wonder if there is a file sharing issue that isn't allowing me to see some software. I noticed I also do not see data in 'Public' when I know I added pictures there in another account. I can't remember changing any settings on my MBA. I have only had it a month and have been afraid of messing up my first MAC.
Thanks for staying with this.

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.

This is what I get when trying to use "FLASH PLAYER HELP", as you can see, my flash player and OS are NOT listed and when asked on left side of screen if "THIS WAS HELPFUL", I clicked NO and could not complete my response.
HOW DO I FIX THIS??? THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT REQUIRE FLASH PLAYER & I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK. AFTER DOWNLOADING (AT LEAST4 TIMES) IT SAYS EVERYTIME "INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL"

Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

VLC plugs directly into pulseaudio, while the firefox flash plugin uses ALSA to play sound. Do you have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed?
I have had a similar problem before. Sound would occasionally be controlled by ALSA and occasionally be controlled by pulse (the pulseaudio-alsa package did nothing). As far as symptoms, sometimes other applications would not produce sound while a flash video was playing and vice versa. Ultimately, I just removed everything pulse/ALSA-related, deleted (and backed up) my configuration files, and installed all related packages anew. It works now. I still don't really know what the problem was.

Flash player won't install after Antivirus8

I had the Antivirus8 problem this week. Malwarebytes seems to have uninstalled it. I have also run Eset Online Scanner and Microsoft malicious remover tool. They all now say I'm clean. But my flash player no longer works. I have turned off my AVG 9.0 (why didn't it catch the virus!!), and have downloaded the flash uninstaller and the installer. Ran them both, rebooting inbetween. flash player seems to install, but when I go to the adobe test site i get the red x instead of the video showing that the flash player is working. Online sites that require flash player do not work either.
This all is new since the antivirus 8. I never had a problem with flash before. I am running Windows 7 Home, 64 bit, and internet explorer I also have mozilla firefox. I have tried using the both IE 32 bit and IE 64 bit, as well as firefox, and all say that flash needs to be installed.
Help please!

Thank you so much for your support,GLPCPA.
It is a good idea but some Japanese can not do system restore(have no point of system restore).
So I want another new infos on adobe F player will not install after Antivirus 8 infection.
Thank you ,GLPCPA
Have a good time.
See you again

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 . I can download but the install stops at 50%. I have allowed plug ins.
any hints?

jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823 ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
--- Those steps in detail:
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

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:
