Flash player Download won't open

My mac has operating system OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Every time I try to open the file download it opens as a text document in TextEdit. I have tried to "open with" other applications but I keep getting error messages. Which application should I be using?

The latest Flash Player version for Windows is 13.0.0.182; download it from
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Flash player download won't pass integrity check

I'm trying to update my flash player. I used the adobe 'remover', rebooted then tried to download version 10.0.45.2 but it won't pass the integrity check. I'm tried with firefox first (clicking the 'allow' notices) then tried with internet explorer. I disabled my firewall, avast anti-virus as well as my ad-aware before the attempt. Any suggestions? I currently have NO player at all

Hi, you could refer to this thread that I posted instructions for FF and IE regarding Flash Player.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/581376?tstart=0
I would suggest that you read over the Uninstall instructions and with IE, pay particular attention to the last NOTE at the end of the article.
If you have any questions before you start, just post back.
Thanks,

Flash Player download won't launch

On http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ when I click on the download and install button the timer bar runs for a second or two as if downloading but then returns me to the download page and stops. I imagine that it should go into the install routine automatically but it doesn't. There are no instructions to suggest that the system is waiting for user input. I am using Explorer 6 on Win2K.
Any ideas? I have two applications that I need but which require Flash to operate. Help would be very much appreciated.

Download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Flash Player won't install - says Flash Player Settings Manager is open

I cannot install Flash Player on my Win7 64-bit PC. When running the install from the download page, I simply get the error "Installation failed - Unknown Error". If I run the install from the standalone installer I get the message "Flash Player Settings Manager is Open" and a "quit" button".
I don't know what the Flash Player Settings Manager is or where to find it. It certainly does not seem to be "open" anywhere that I can see.

There was a discussion about this topic. One answer that many people found useful is:
1. Check for the file 'FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl' in the following folders:
On 32-bit systems, C:\Windows\system32
On 64-bit systems, C:\Windows\syswow64
2. Delete this file.
If you don't have the permission to delete the same, use a third-party application, such as Unlocker. (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/)
3.Try installation or uninstallation.
Thanks

Flash Player 9 Won't Install on MacOS X (Intel)

I received an alert trying to open a video on MSN that I
didn't have the Flash plugin installed (which I, in fact, did). I
clicked the link to download the new Flash 9 and was re-directed to
the Adobe Flash Player download page. I installed the player and it
seemed to go fine. However, now I get error messages when opening
pages containing Flash in Safari and Firefox stating that I don't
have the Flash plugin installed. I tried installing the plugin from
within Firefox, and it gives me a message every time stating that
the "Install Failed". I have used the Un-Installer, restarted
between un-installs and installs and I can't get the plugin to
install whatever I do. Using MacBook Pro, MacOSX 10.4.9, Safari
2.0.4, Firefox 2.0.0.3
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks.

You can enable Root using the instructions at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106290
However, you shouldn't need to do this and doing so won't
necessarily resolve any underlying problem which might be
preventing you installing as desired. In the first instance, for
Firefox, I'd look at the following tech doc:
http://www.adobe.com/go/4aa64290
For Safari, try removing the plug-ins for Flash in the
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and try reinstalling afresh.
If this fails for either Firefox and Safari, I'd check that
there aren't any problems with the permissions on your startup disk
using Disk Utility.
Hope that helps! Let me know if not and I'll see what I can
come up with.

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

Could you do the following please.
Click "Start" and then in the search box at the bottom of the menu, type: CMD
When you get the link, right click it and choose "Run As Administrator".
At the prompt, type CD\ and hit Enter. This will take you to the root.
Next, type: net user administrator /active:yes and hit Enter to enable the hidden Administrator account.
Type: EXIT to close the command prompt.
Reboot the machine and you'll see an additional logon option called Administrator. Choose that and then hit Enter to boot to the desktop (the Aministrator account doesn't have a password by default).
Disable your antivirus to prevent it interfering with the installation. If you have AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in systray, go to Avast Shields Control and disable all shields for 1 hour. Otherwise consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html
Next, download Flash for Internet Explorer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe
When you see the prompt, click "Run" to install it immediately.
After the installation completes, open a command prompt again and type: net user administrator /active:no to disable the Administrator account.
Reboot the machine and then open Internet Explorer.
Click "Tools", then "Manage Add-ons".
In the dropdown menu on the left near the bottom (see screenshot), choose "Run without permission".
Scroll down to "Adobe Systems Incorporated" and verify that "Shockwave Flash Object" is installed and enabled. If it's present, but disabled, click the "Enable" button bottom left of that menu.
Finally, re-enable you antivirus and reboot again. Check the "Manage Add-ons" menu to verify that Flash is still present.

I don't think you're understanding exactly what
crossdomain.xml is for...
These major sites have it wildcarded so that people can
develop Flash
applications that use those sites API's/services - and run
them from any
domain they like. So, I can develop a Flash book finder, that
grabs data
from Amazon, and stick it on my blog.
Other sites that don't want to let just anyone access their
data, specify
only the domains they want to allow access from. I use a
crossdomain.xml
file on a current project and it works as it should - only
allowing access
from the three domains I have listed.

Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point?

Wll there be a flash player download for the ipad 2 at any point

While no one can say with absolute certainty, at this time it appears to be highly unlikely that a version of Flash Player will ever appear for iOS. Adobe has said that they've given up work on a version for iOS, so unless they change their minds at some point, and can come up with a version that would meet Apple's criteria for performance, security and stability, then Kappy is correct that no, it won't happen.

New Mac Version Flash Player Download Hangs Up at 95%

I've been unable to download the newest version of Flash Player to my Mac 10.8.5, because the download always hangs up at 95% complete. I've tried restarting my computer without success. What is going wrong and what do I do to complete the download. Previously my Flash Player worked fine, but I was notified that I need to upgrade to the new version. Now I have no Flash Player working. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello again, Mike.
Okay, I did as you said:
1)     I found the downloaded file in my Downloads folder that I downloaded from the Adobe website. The file name is:
AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_12_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg
2)     I then double-clicked on the icon so the Install Adobe Flash Player icon appeared. I believe doing this is what you called "mount the dmg." I this is not what you wanted me to do then I need an explanation of what mount the dmg means.
3)     The window with the Install Adobe Flash Player did not look exactly like the window in the PDF you sent me. Instead of just showing a small icon in the upper left corner with the file name under the icon Install Adobe Flash Player.app, the window that appeared has a large red band withe the Adobe logo in the upper left corner and a large lowercase "f" in the right side of the red band. The icon appeared below the red band and the file name was to the right of the icon and showed "Install Adobe Flash Player" and did not include the ".app" at the end.
4)     I then did a Control click on the Adobe Flash Player icon and which opened the same window that you showed in your response.
5)     I click highlighted on "Show Package Contents," which took me to the Finder window with the Contents folder.
6)      I click highlighted on the "Contents" folder and found inside slightly different list than you showed. My list of contents inside the Contents folder is:
     _CodeSignature
     info.plist
     MacOS
     Pkginfo
     Resources
7)     Although the list was not the same as the list you identified, both your list and my list did include a folder called "Resources."
8)     I click highlighted the Resources folder and found a different list than the long list you identified. I found these contents inside the Resources folder:
     app.bundle
     app.icns
     en.lproj
So … there was no COCOA installer to run … and I am still stuck and still need your help.
Thanks,
Bruce

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
