Flash Player Install Problems - Mac

I've tried installing the latest (10.3) flash player and, while it says that it successfully installed, when I go to the flash player page where it tells me what version I have (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) it still says 10.0.22.87 and when I try to watch anything on hulu it prompts me to install 10.3 again.
I'm on a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and am using the latest version of firefox.
I've tried using firefox and safari, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing seems to work. It just says it has installed successfully and the same problems happen. I am at a loss. Any help is much appreciated!

  • Flash Player Install Problem - Mac

    Hi Folks,
    I can see that this issue has been addressed many times over, but the suggested solutions I've followed aren't helping.
    First my system:
    iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
    I'm using Firefox 18.0
    What I've done so far:
    Uninstalled previous versions of Flash Player
    Checked the Library to delete any related Flash files (there weren't any)
    Downloaded the new Player installer (several times)
    Rebooted the computer (more than once)
    Looked in the Contents>Resources folders for the Adobe Flash Player.pkg ... it wasn't there
    Allowed add-ons from Adobe
    Looked in Preferences to enable any plug-ins or add-ons that might be related (didn't any).
    I'd very much appreciate pointers to the next thing I should try.
    Thanks!

    This might not help, but I remember my PPC mini (1.25gHz G4) enlightened me to the limitations of the PPC mini.
    Namely, video.
    I had a favorite game, Stubbs the Zombie-Rebel Without a Pulse, and I played it for two years on my iMac. The the iMac cooked and I was left with my mini.
    No more Stubbs because the video wouldn't support it. Not enough VRAM or not the right kind.
    Two other games went the same route.
    I didn't have Flash problems, but I was running Player 9 up until the mini died last summer.
    Of all three games the mini wouldn't run, none is usable now because they don't run in Snow Leopard. I guess it's a good thing because if I was playing games all day I'd never learn anything in school.
    The Flash Player 10 requirements say 64Mb (852x480 (480p),24 fps), 64Mb (1,280x720 (720p),24–30 fps) or 128 Mb (1,920x1,080  (1080p),
    24 fps) of VRAM. My G4 only had 32Mb and that killed it for gaming.
    Your Apple System Profiler will indicate how much VRAM is in your mini.

    Hello,
    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
    Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
    Thank you.

  • Flash Player Install Problem

    Hi, I have had a terrible time trying to install Flash Player.  I used to have it but recently lost it and can not install it anymore.  I get a Failed to Register error message about halfway through the install.  I am running IE11, McAfee Virus software and have purchased and ran RegCure Pro.  My active x is turned off and I tried to install with a new admin account.  Nothing has worked.  My virus software has only quarantined one potentially unwanted program - Generic Pup .a    I think the quarantine happened around the same time but it may not be even related.  I have a 2.7 GHz processor and Windows 7.  Any suggestions on how I can reload Flash Player?  It used to work and update all the time.  Thank you

    If you installed the legitimate Flash Player activeX control
    installer from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    then no, we wouldn't be looking for Compuserve.
    Now, I have seen one or two sites spoofing the Flash Player
    installer for malicious purposes. If it doesn't come from Adobe.com
    it's not necessarily safe. But that isn't necessarily the problem
    either.
    If at some point Compuserve (which is a very legitimate and
    venerable BBS that became a big ISP similar to AOL..) may have been
    on your machine and installed some type of dialer application for
    dialup connections. Look in add/remove programs to see if you have
    any compuserve related entries. If there's nothing there look in
    processes.
    If you still don't find anything.. well then I'm not sure
    where to go next.

  • Flash player install vs Mac OS 10.10

    I recently installed Mac OS 10.10, now Flash player is outdated and the udate installer crashes. I am absolutely stuck.

    Hi Doug,
    Based on other posts, I'm assuming this is the online installer that is crashing.  Please delete all install files previously downloaded (delete them from the trash bin also), download the installer again, reboot your system and try installing again.  Please let me know if this does, or does not, work.

  • Adobe Flash Player  Install problem

    I have been trying to install Adope Flash player on my
    computer. It seems to be installed but flash programs will not
    open. When I look in the currently installed programs list the
    Adobe Flash Player has a red X on it. What could be the possible
    problem? I am using Windows XP home edition.
    Thanks,

    Hi regztfen,
    If you’re having difficulties with the ActiveX
    installer on IE these steps will typically resolve the issue:
    Try this first: Instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling
    the Flash Player:
    1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
    instruction and close all running programs.
    3. Open the following folder
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    4. Run the uninstaller
    5. What files are left in this folder?
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    6. If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
    7. Install the Flash Player from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    8. Test the Flash Player here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
    Also check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
    Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
    system administrator. For single users who do not have an
    administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
    content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
    Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
    options are set to "Prompt".
    To change your security level:
    1. Open Internet Explorer.
    2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
    3. Select the Security tab.
    4. Select Custom Level.
    5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
    6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
    7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
    If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
    Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
    that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
    Finally, it may be that you have incorrect permissions in the
    system registry:
    To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
    can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
    http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
    1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
    the system registry
    2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
    “subinacl.exe” to the desktop
    *** Make sure both files are on the desktop
    3. Close out all applications
    4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
    5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
    registry keys
    6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
    continue”
    7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
    from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    Test the Flash Player here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
    If you still require support, please open a free support case

  • How to check for Adobe flash Player installed on Mac with Applescript?

    Hi All,
    I am trying to installl the AdobeFlashPlayer programmatically, before that i need to chk Whether if its already installed?, if yes then i need to get the version of the same. Since flash player will be added as a plugin, i need to chk the same in Safari and Firefox browsers. Pls suggest how to achieve the same using Applescripts (without using SWFObjects).

    try this:
    tell application "System Events"
              try
                        set v to short version of disk item "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player2.plugin"

  • Flash Player install problems

    I have repeatedly downloaded lastest version of Flash Player, each time getting a successful download message.  But each time I try to play video, I get a message that I need to download Flash.  My computer meets all the requirements for Flash Player 11.  What's wrong?

    When we visit Flash Player Version, the window to showing the version is blank as is the earlier test video window.
    We use the following:
    OS Windows Vista Home Basic.
    Browser Internet Explorer, MSN
    We can play both videos you provided, as well as anything on youtube. 
    Following are URL's to videos that are not working.  In every case, a message appears that need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing, same thing happens.

  • Flash player audio problem mac book pro due to new 11.7.700.169 update

    I just recently updated my adobe flash player when i load a video my audio stops as video continues I'm using a macbook pro this is really irrtating because i edit and stream videos for my occupation and audio keeps cutting out is thier any way i could go back to the other flash player or is thier another flash player download besides adobe that works fine?

    I started having all kinds of freezing/crashing issues with both safari and ff on my macbook pro, os x 10.6.8. Then I even started having trouble starting up and shutting down. I wasn't getting any error messages and after trouble-shooting everything I could think of in my hardware and finally realized it started happening after I downloaded this latest update. I tried every suggested fix I could find and finally uninstalled it, reinstalled 10.3, and ran a disk repair. That was a couple days ago and seems to have worked, but what a pain.

  • Why does Flash Player install for Mac OSX 10.8 ask to quit DashboardClient?

    I don't believe there is a way to just shutdown the Dashboard Client by itself. The install will not allow me to go any further.

  • Problem with finishing install of Flash Player on a Mac. When finishing by entering the requested password, the dialog box jiggles as if the p/w is invalid. But it works in the Adobe site.

    I am trying to install Flash player on my Mac. All the steps are working as they should, until the point where I am asked to enter my password. I do this, and the dialog box jiggles as through  the p/w were invalid. However, it works to sign in to the Adobe site. I just changed it to be sure and checked again.

    There is no password required to download or install the Flash Player.  Chances are your Mac is requiring you to enter its password to allow the installation to occur.
