Flash Player stops Installing at 50% Why

I use a macbook Pro OS 10.8.5 with Safari.
the installer stops at 50% and says there is an error.
I have read every thing on this site and can find no answers.

Meg,
Download this file: http://tinyurl.com/kq3cu72
It's a .zip file containing a mach_kernel for OS 10.8.5. Move it to your Mac HD directory, and double click it.
Stuffit Expander should open it (If you don't have Stuffit Expander, get it here: Stuffit Expander) in that place, but it's "invisible" so you won't see it.
Once you've done that, download the Flash Player full installer for OS X and run it. It should work.
If it doesn't, you'll probably have to re-install OS 10.8

  • Flash Player stops installing

    Flash player stops at the last window, and dosen't do anything. If I go in the browser it says that flash player wasn't installed correctly...

    The different location to dl worked! Thank you Pat! I did try the links with Firefox and with Google Chrome and had the same result of the 404 error but when I checked the links on my iPhone it did show a link to download from. There's something fishy with my Mac. This same link appears in several places including the Adobe troubleshooting page and yet I still get a 404 on all of them.
    Jeromie the terminal says this....

  • What do I do about the Flash Player "stop installing all applications?" window?

    This window will not close.  It prevents my mac from shutting down.  It also prevents me from downloading any other programs or updates.  Flash player is successfully downloaded on my computer.

    Also, can you post a screenshot of that message, as I have no idea what it means.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

  • I have an IMac 10.5.2 from about 5 years ago and recently my flash player stopped responding.  I tried to update my flash player but it tells me I need an updated system to install the player.  Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?

    I have an imac osx 10.5.2 from about five years ago and recently my flash player stopped operating/responding.  Does anyone know if I have to install a new flash player?  I have attempted it several times and it won't let me.  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.  Do I need a new operating system?

    Why have you not updated to 10.5.8?
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

  • Flash Player update install/download stops at 2 of 3

    I've never had any problems in the past with installing/downloading Adobe Flash Player updates. Now I am. Why? I know Adobe Flash Player is installed on my computer, I've checked to make sure it is enabled and I have also disabled or unchecked the ActiveX filtering too. If I choose not to install Google Chrome for downloading the newest Flash Player update, does this cause the install/download to not complete and stop at 2 of 3 steps? I believe I have unchecked Google Chrome in the past with no issues, but not sure now. I usually have to go in uninstall Google Chrome because it always seems to mess with my Facebook page. So I no longer want Google Chrome installed on my computer because of this.
    The install/download never gets to this point so I can finish the install/download because stops at 2 of 3 steps :
    Any advise as to what to do now?

    Hi,
    Based on your screenshot, I'm guessing the 'Save File' option never becomes available.  Is that correct.  I also see the file being downloaded has '14' in it, which means this is a version 14 file, which you shouldn't be getting as we're up to version 17.  I've forwarded this to the folks who handle the online installer to investigate. In the meantime, you can use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.  There are several installer types for various browsers.  You'll want to update Flash Player for all browsers you use, unless you have Windows 8.x in which case, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and prevents installation using the Flash Player installer, as updates are performed via updates to IE.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Adobe Flash Player is installing SPYWARE! ... It is called "Google"

    Upon turning my PC on today, I got the standard black pop-up window from  Adobe, advising that a new version of Flash Player was available for  download, which I agreed to do.
    As the installer ran, I saw that Google Chrome was being installed  without my consent! After Flash player finished installing, I tried to  stop the "Google" installation, but couldn't!
    I went directly to Control Panel and uninstalled Google Chrome before allowing the installer to finish its dirty work.
    Well, the application detected this and and opened  Internet Explorer,  which I NEVER use and have Internet connection disabled through my  firewall.
    This is playing dirty, Adobe! No- this isn't "playing" at all! This is illegal intrusion~ This is SPYWARE!
    In the past, Adobe Flash player gave the chance to "opt out" of Google  Chrome (which we shouldn't HAVE to do), but now, we have NO CHOICE,  because Google has become WORSE than any spyware or virus! And that is   they now have the trust of the world.
    Remember: Power corrupts... Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
    Adobe, if you even care anymore, we are asking that you do something about this intrusion.
    No one has the right to install programs without the consent of the owner of the devise. And you know it!
    You guys think we have no power of choice and so can't do anything about this... That's what revolution is all about!

    Just started installing Flash and clicked install as one normally does.  I noticed it started installing google so i quickly clicked cancel.
    I have logged this in another thread and only afterwards spotted this one.
    I have since restarted the install and now noticed the PRE-TICKED tickbox for Google installation.  I think that should be made illegal.
    The company I work for deals with other large companies who use flash for online videos so unfortunately we need flahs installed.
    I havn't updated flash for a while, but I now understand why I have had calls from users having difficulties using the internet as in every instance they had lost their well known microsoft explorer and coul dno longer find all the menu options and icons they were uised to.
    I then have tpo de-install google and re-enable explorer for them.
    Google's attitute is costing businesses money and I think they are on a fine line between promoting themselves and being common criminals.  They are not doing themseves any favors though, that's a fact!

  • Flash player 9 installed but...

    I am trying to open raw .swf files (not through a browser). I
    uninstalled what I thought was my old flash player and installed
    the new Flash Player 9. When I double click on the .swf it
    automattically opens the Flash Player 6 window and does not play
    the file. If I right click the .swf and open in a IE browser window
    it runs fine. How do I set FP 9 as the default for all files, not
    just in IE.
    Is there a way to get the Flash Player 9 file as an .exe that
    I can open and then open the file?

    I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to.  If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
    http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
    You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks?  Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
    Thanks,

  • Customizing Flash Player 10 Install

    Greetings:
    I registered and downloaded the flash player 10 install
    executable. I want to push it out to about 425 machines, but do not
    want the Google toolbar. It messes up other software we have at our
    institution. Is there a command line parameter that I can use to
    install the flash player without the Google toolbar?
    I tried downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard. However,
    the latest version I could find on the Adobe website is version 9.
    It won't work with the version 10 install .msi file. Is there a
    replacement for version 10?
    Our users cannot install from the Adobe web site because they
    don't have admin rights. Also, I don't want 450 PCs eating up WAN
    bandwidth to install the flash player. That's why I want to install
    it from our LAN.

    These instructions don't work for me
    i get the following error:
    [17:15:44:~]> nspluginwrapper -v -i /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-render-util.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    Ive checked libxcb and i have both the lib32 versio nand the normal version.
    Ive tried all the methods I can find of installing flash. Its annoying me
    Any ideas anyone? Am i just being dense?

    Hi Gerard,
    Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
    I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
    You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
    Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

  • Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

    Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
    I have:
    1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
    2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
    Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
    What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

    Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and  it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

  • Linux - after update to firefox 5 64-bit flash player stopped working

    After updating firefox 5 (from stable repo) the flash player stopped working.
    I have had installed the adobe flash player square (64 bit) - by following http://queleimporta.com/en/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/ ...
    The .so library is still on its place(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so), though firefox does not seem to have flash player installed.
    before update to firefox 5 it worked
    system is Xubuntu 10.04

    Finally I've found out that it's possible to install flash from lucid repositories (which works... named 'flashplugin installer')... I've never noticed that before... So sorry for asking stupid question and thanks to anyone who spend some time even only by reading this thread.
    //EDIT: so question 2 - how to tag the topic as solved? :)

  • Flash player stops working after a few days.

  • Flash player stop to work with Firefox

    Ok it’s just killing me!! Flash player stop to work
    with Firefox
    All my web site users including me have this problem and I
    guess all the millions of mozilla users
    When you press play it’s not working or it’s no
    sound
    What solve the problem is to download oldest Flash-Player
    Please fix it as fast as you can.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the assistance Chris.  I tried the 11.7 option without success.  I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled).  Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results. 
    However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos!  WooHoo. 
    I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
    Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
    Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.
