Flash Player for Mac

The installation reads "complete" but only shows 6.1 MB for my Mac (Safari browser).  But when I try to use the application, the it just idles.  Can someone please help me install Flash Player correctly?

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.
    Comments about Flash and Shockwave. [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2769507]
    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862 - this gets FP to tell web sites you are running a newer version than you really are. This gets around web sites that don't really need a new version but think they know best. If they really do require it then this hack doesn't work.

  • Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for Mac?

    Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for MAC?

    It's always okay. Hackers try to find ways to attack it, Adobe fixes it. Just like Apple releases patches for flaws that have been found. Just like Microsoft constantly releases security fixes for its OS and other software.
    No software is perfectly and forever safe, and unlikely ever will be. The only thing you must do in respect to the Flash Player is to only ever get it directly from Adobe. Never, EVER pay attention to any third party site that pops up a message about having to update flash. Especially if it tells you to download said update from their site.

  • Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite

    Is there a reliable and secure alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite?  I keep getting websites telling me that I can see a video because my Flash Player needs to be updated.  But I haven't wanted to install it as I've heard negative things about it and Macs.  Is there an alternative to Flash Player?  And if so, what is it and where do I find it?

    Being that Flash is very insecure, I've completely removed it from my MacBook Pro. The best alternative is to uninstall Flash from your system and download Google Chrome as it has Flash build into it and you're not vulnerable unless you're browsing in Chrome. If Safari is your main browser, as mine is, then you need to open Safari Preferences, go to Advanced and click the checkbox for 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. Once you've done this, the Develop menu bar menu shows up and you can click it and choose 'Open Page With' and choose Chrome. It is a bit cumbersome, but it removes the vulnerability when browsing in Safari as many sites are now using HTML5. Hope this help.

    Then install it again from this location only:

  • Adobe Flash Player for MAC

    Please Help!!  How can I download adobe flash player on my 10.6.8 mac os  I keep getting blocked plug in every time I try.  I'm computer illerate and need to speak to a real person.  How do I do that?

  • Adobe Flash Player for Mac 10.5.8

    I have been using Adobe Flash Player for ages (for Hulu, etc.) and I tried to update it today.
    After that I was unable to open it.  It keep showing the message:
    The application Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly
    I tried to find out what I should do and followed some directions shown to solve this, such as:
    - Uninstall Flash Player
    - trashing Flash Player plug-in (wasn't there, or couldn't find it)
    - trashing Flash Player Install Manager (wasn't there, or couldn't find it)
    According to Adobe's instructions, prior to installing Flash Player, I should open Safari Preferences, Security and then enable Allow Java and Allow All Other Plug-Ins in the Internet Plug-ins section, but no Internet Plug-Ins section appears in the Security section of Preferences.
    I have tried to download Flash Player from a few sites, but I keep on receiving the same 'quit unexpectedly' message.
    If anyone could help me, I would be really grateful.  I need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.  Up to today, there has been no problem.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Susan, Japan

    Hi Susan,
    Be careful where you download from, many free sites now attach malware or adware to it, only get from Adobe's site.
    There are no recent updates for 10.5.8, is your iMac PPC or Intel?
    See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

  • Flash Player for mac is not installing

    Hello,
    I am trying to reinstall the flash player i had. But when i click the "install" button on screen, all it is doing is directing me back to the adobe website. I have tried many other ways and its the same thing. The only thing i can install is some adobe debugger, in which just installs shockwave. I dont want shockwave as i dont know what that is. Anyone know why im being directed back the site?
    Also im running the lastest OS which is Maverick.

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player for Mac Air (Yosemite)

    I got a message saying my Adobe Flash Player was out of date. This seemed strange because I'd been accessing videos within the last hour with no problems. I went ahead and opened the Mac version installer downloaded of the Adobe site. The install started and after inputting an Admin password, the download reached 25% almost immediately. Unfortunately, it's been stuck at 25% since then. I've tried starting over, deleting the download and re-downloading the update with no success. I've also temporarily disabled my AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. I tried to uninstall AFP so I could start over but the box that's supposed to tell me what uninstaller version to download has an error message saying I need to update AFP.
    How can I fix this?
    Edit: I thought maybe I was downloading an AFP for an earlier OS (I'm running 10.10.2). I made sure to download the latest version of AFP for Mac possible. The install is now stuck at 30%. (Just to be clear, I downloaded the install package with no problem - the issue is with the install program itself pausing at 30%.)
    Edit 2: I figured out which uninstall package I needed (using this page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS) but upon reinstalling AFP, it's stuck again at 25% of download.
    Edit 3: The message "Connection failed. Trying to reconnect" has appeared, followed quickly by "connection failed". Guess I'll try again.

    I've double-checked to make sure that I've selected "Allow Internet Plug-ins" under Safari>Preferences>Security. I've read in other threads that this is one possible solution but it isn't useful to me since I've uninstalled AFP and but I've been unable to reinstall it.
    Edit: I'm not sure if Youtube is supported by a different software package but I can watch any videos on that site with no problem.

  • Flash Player for Mac OSX 10.5.8

    I've been trying to find the right flash player to install on my mac osx 10.5.8 using safari. I can't play video on youtube or facebook because it says im missing plug-in. This issue keeps coming up. I have in the past few months uninstalled the version i had and installed an older version of flash 10.1 but then that stopped working a few days ago, and now nothing works. I have tried uninstalling old versions,and searched every forum about this but i cant find an answer.Does anybody have an answer to this issue?

    Hi Lindsey;
        This fix was for a mac PPC not intel. I did get this email you can
    try and see if this will help.
    Mark & everybody else, I found this fix on youtube, I tested the above
    page Lotus Cars - Lotus Esprit
    <http://www.lotuscars.com/en/new-lotus-esprit> and on facebook & it
    worked. Go to Flash Player fix for Mac PPC - YouTube
    <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCrAKhv3R_c> then click where it says
    "Show more" below the video & click on the link or click here to

    Vincent, that Tenfourfox maybe fast but, won't let any plugins work with
    their browser.

  • Issues Installing flash player for mac

    Hi
    I have a mac os 10.4 and i tried upgrading the flash player because there are certain video and shows I can't see and I uninstalled the old flash player and tried to install the new flash player well it didn't work because this is a powerpc I guess and the latest version they have for power pc is flash player 10.1 So I downloaded and installed the flash player but when I tried to watch a video or show it keeps saying that I need to download a flash player so I am kind of lost I mean the flash player is already installed and everything? I am so confused and would really appreciate if someone can help me pls?

    Hi,  I have the exact same issue.  I too downloaded the 10.1 and it didn't work.  I even uninstalled whatever I had in flash previously.  I am running Safari and I just don't know what to do.  If you happen to find an answer to this seemingly simple issue,  I would really appreciate knowing! 

  • Where is the Clean Install file for Flash Player for Mac?

    The troubleshooting for Mac Install of Flash Player suggests that one uninstall and then perform a clean install.  I believe that this has also been referred to as an "offline" installer.  When one clicks on the the link to the clean install, one obtains the dreaded "404", File not Found error.  Does anyone know where one can find the clean install file.  The standard update almost never, ever works on my 2009 PowerMac, now running Yosemite.  Would someone please suggest to the folks running the Adobe website that it would be nice to have a working link to such a file.  This issue has come up before.  Would someone also suggest that before any new update is unleashed upon the world that someone make sure that the "Clean Install" link is linked to a download of a "Clean Install" installer?
    Many thanks,
    T. Olsen

  • Please Help, Flash Player for Mac

    I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5.  Last night Facebook told me I MUST update to the newest version of Flash Player in order to upload multiple pics.  I kept getting plug-in failure messages and then the message saying I need to update my version of Flash.
    Problem is I have updated my version of Flash and the plug in still doesn't work.  Please help, my business relies on my being able to upload multiple photos daily to social media.  What is going on?  I have read the forums, the work arounds posted on 4/16.  Uninstalled, re-installed, etc.  I am still getting flash plug in failures even on Adobe's site.  What do I do?

    No.
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.
