FLASH PLAYER ON MEW IMAC

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I think i have downloaded Flash Player for my new iMac but when i go to sites that require flash player it still does not work. I am sure i am doing something wrong as this is my first mac.
Regards
Phil

As an added suggestion: sooner or later, you will also need Flip4Mac to play certain formats - the free player can be downloaded here:
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
I'm mentioning this because some sites are not very sophisticated or savvy enough to figure out that you are on a Mac, so they can't read your system and therefore might display the standard notice that you need Flashplayer.
And please make sure that your profile is up to date - it doesn't show in your subsequent posts.

  • Update Adobe Flash Player on my iMac

    I am trying to update my current version of Adobe Flash Player on my iMac.  My iMac has Mac OS X version 10.7.5, and I use Safari as my primary browser (although that probably doesn't much matter.
    After opening and launching the installer, I get a message indicating that I need to quit "DashboardClient" in order to continue the installation.  I do not know how to comply.  There is a Dashboard in the OS, but I do not know how to quit it....

    Use the Activity Monitor to close running processes on a Mac.

  • Why no working flash player en my iMac?

    I can't use flash player in my Imac

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Adobe Reader will not open Flash Player on my iMac

    Hi Folks,
    For some reason I cannot install Flash Player.  I used to have it on my iMac but now don't, maybe I inadvertantly deleted it somehow?
    I've tried re-downloading the app but keep getting the message as below.
    I've even tried copying the download to a Flash drive from my Mac Pro ( on which it works fine) and saving it directly into the Utilities folder on my iMac, still no luck.  When I click on the icon it only comes up with the option to "remove" Flash Player
    Got any ideas?
    Cheers
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    It appears that somehow Reader has become the default program to open DMG files.  You'll want to open the DMG with DiskImageMounter.app.  DiskImageMounter is found in /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
    Right-click on the DMG installer file and select 'OpenWith'
    This will reveal a menu that should have DiskImageMounter.app listed.
    If DiskImageMounter.app is not listed, select Other... and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
    This will mount the DMG revealing the actual installer .app file inside
    Double-click the .app file and proceed with the instructions to install Flash Player.
    You'll actually want to make DiskImageMounter.app the default program to open DMG files so that you don't encounter the same scenario in the future.

  • I installed adobe flash player for my imac, and now there is no video

    Just sound plays when I go to let's say Youtube. What did I do wrong and how do I go back to watching videos? I use safari as my browser. I have a 2GHZ Intel Core Duo Running version 10.4.11
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    "What did I do wrong and how do I go back to watching videos?"
    By doing the following if you have not already done so................
    Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    Follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing.
    *Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.*
    "I have a 2GHZ Intel Core Duo"
    You posted in the wrong forum area. This area is for G5 iMacs problems. I have requested a HOST to move your post to the proper forum.
    Please correct your system info. G5 iMacs & Intel iMacs are 2 different type of iMacs.

  • I have installed flash player on my imac but it won't work?

  • When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

    Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player.  iMac + OS Mavericks.  I have tried it many times.  Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer.  Aggro+++++++

    OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too.  So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player.  It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
    Good to know it was not Adobe…….
    Thank you,
    Patricia

  • I can't install Flash Player to my Imac, help needed!!!!!!!!

    hi all,
    Why it is not possible to install flash player to Imac (Yosemite V. 10.10.2) I have tried many things but nothing is working. I have even deleted the existing flash player which didn't work.
    I hope some one can help me.
    best regards
    Hakan

    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:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Problems installing flash player in my IMac (intel)

    I recently bought the latest IMac (Intel) desktop, and went to YouTube, but it tells me that I need to download the latest adobe flash player in order to view YouTube clips.  When I went to the adobe site to download the latest flash player, I am having problems downloading it - error message saying "Mounting failed".  What is the solution to this problem?  Appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Wilbs23

    Did you go to the Adobe site via a link supplied with the error message, or directly from your own bookmark?
    I ask because error messages like that are often used by malware perpetrators to take you to a fake webpage and download their malware.
    Flash Player 10.3.181.22 is the current version, and there are two instances of it - one for Firefox, Safari and Opera, and a seperate one for the Chrome browser.
    I updated mine only last week without problems, but it has to be said I'm not on a new machine and I'm running 10.6.4 rather than 10.6.7 so there may be something I'm not aware of there.

  • Can "Adobe Flash PLAYER" work on IMAC?

    Can I download "Adobe Flash Player" and it work on my IMAC?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Yes, flash does work on the Mac.

  • How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

    I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player.  This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com.  A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one.  And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference.  I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success. 
    I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient.  But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers.  Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am?  If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player?  Thank you in advance for your information.  

  • Does anyone have problems installing Adobe Flash Player on their iMac?

    I download the proper Version of Adobe Flash Player.  I double click and it says it was installed.  But it really isn't.  I also have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no go.  Can anyone help me?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
