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!!!

  • Flash Player 9 does not install / run on Mac OSX

    Hi:
    I had Flash Player 9 working fine on my Mac, G5 running OSX
    10.4.10. Flash 9 worked in both Safari and Firefox.
    I visited a website that incorrectly told me I needed to
    update flash:
    http://www.thehdweb.com/
    I followed the link to the correct part of the Adobe site,
    downloaded the Flash 9 installer and ran the installer.
    All Flash has stopped working.
    I am stuck.
    I need ideas. I have looked for how to uninstall flash and
    cannot figure that out yet..

    Did you find a solution to this problem? I'm running into the
    exact same issue. Also tried to uninstall (using the Adobe
    uninstall utility) and re-install; keep getting the "succesfully
    installed" message, but still not working.

  • Adobe flash player 10.1 won't install on Mac OSx

    I have a 13 inch Aluminum Macbook. A couple weeks ago I had gone onto Youtube and it had told me that I needed the latest version of player in order to watch it and to download it. I followed the link as told and downloaded it. The download was "successful" And I went on to youtube and even tried other sites and it still wouldn't work. It still said I needed the newest verson of flash player. I've downloaded it numerous times (this is over a 3 week period) I've tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it, I've rebooted every time, My browser is up to date, I've tried downloading it from a different site, I've downloaded it in Safe Mood. And nothing seems to help. There must be further settings. I'm not computer savvy so please make a very step by step easy answer. Much help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi, you may want to review this thread and see if the info may be helpful. Keep in mind the version of Flash Player mentioned was the current version at that time.

    I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • My iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 the touch id doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' .

    my iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 seems to have a problem with the touch id witch doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' . I have multiple fingerprints and none of them appear to work.

    Hi Giannis,
    If you are having an issue with Touch ID not functioning as expected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled Clean the Touch ID sensor and then Get help with Touch ID.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • Flash Player 8 Won't Install On My Mac

    I find Flash Player, version 8.0 to be rather difficult to
    open on my computer. Simply put, my computer is a PowerMac 4,2 (OS
    system is 10.4.6) that has a 2.0.3 version of the web browser
    Safari on it (plus over 4 GB of memory leftover) and it refuses to
    install. This is all supposedly a supportable version of operating
    systems, memory & web browsers, according the support center.
    I’m allowed to download it and open up the
    application, but as soon as I get to the first installation window
    (where it tells me to close all browsers), I close my browsers and
    the same screen shows up no matter how many times I click on the
    button “install.”
    What's wrong here?.
    How can I get this application to install properly as it
    should?
    SOMEONE
    please respond ASAP.

    Thanks for getting back. Yes, as I mentioned, I did uninstall all other Flash Players and restarted because I had read about that tip. I also tried downloading it from the .pkg and no luck there. Also from Safari instead of from Firefox. Is this Flash Player 10.3.183.7 a stand-alone plug in or is it an update to one I should already have? Also, what is the Flash Player Debugger for. I am a mac OS 10.6.8, intel based. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

    HI ..
    The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
    Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
    Please read >  OS X Recovery
