Adobe flash player times out on download before installation

Have tried to download and install new Adobe flash player many times w/o success, either on my desktop (3.4 GHZ win-7 64-bit with 16 GB ram) or my laptop. I use Norton IS, but should not be a problem. Finally tried removing old version first, but still have same problem. Is this common? Can anyone help?

Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Flash player timer counter

I've downloaded numerous video files that are played in flash
player as well as Quicktime and also mp3's that are played in
Windows media. All these players display the length of the file
playing and shows a counter that increments as the file is
progressing. I have a need to create a file that streams video and
when it shows the video I want the timer to be present. When I make
these files available to my customers for their review, I want them
to be able to read a time stamp if I need to make any changes. (ex:
The customer says the segment beginning at 00.02.32 doesn't
transition as smoothly as I would like). Since I don't know the
proper name for this counter, it's hard to do a search on it.
Timers and counters are such broad names that if you Google them
you come up with everything but what I was looking for. Any ideas
would be appreciated.

Okay, was messing around and tried to run a flash program on Windows Media Player, which asked me to download the Flash Player. Since I already had the Firefox version, I downloaded the one for Internet Explorer.
That... somehow... fixed the problems with Firefox... I don't even know how or why, but it works... so I guess I accidentally solved my own question.

I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .

Flash Player Crashing every time it is opened

About a week ago I decided to remove the trial version of PSE from my computer. The trial period was over and to be honest I like Gimp much, much better (even more so now given all the problems I have encountered this past week.) I had a very difficult time getting PSE removed from my computer; even running my system as an administrator with full permissions granted, I kept getting the message that I did not have permission to change this file, it required an administrator. WTF big time! I contacted tech support to find out why I was having this problem, but unfortunately poor Gilligan was so lost all he could do was imply that I must be lying. Yes, that actually happened folks. I asked to be connected to a higher level and was supplied with a dead link. I finally got this Adobe crapware off my computer using brute force-yes Virginia, I did try using uninstall utilities of several flavors. There was no uninstall feature with the PSE software which led Gilligan to tell me I did not know what I was doing or talking about; I don't work for Adobe so I do know a little bit about what I am doing, sorry Gilligan. In cleaning the registery I was shocked to see what Adobe had placed in my system and even more shocked to see where it had been placed; why does Adobe feel the need to hide data miners in their crapware?
Since this issue with PSE, Flash Player has completely stopped functioning; prior to this everything functioned flawlessly. However, now every time I encounter flash content on a web page I am greeted by that familiar greyed out message, "Adobe Flash Player has crashed, send an error reort." I am not exagerating when I say that I have submitted well in excess of 100 error reports just in the past day alone. I have uninstalled and reinstaled new copies of Flash Player several times now, the latest version, 11 I think it was, as well as some of the archived older versions; after every install I have been directed to an Adobe web page telling me that Flash has been properly installed. My drivers are up to date on EVERYTHING, I utilize a utility that checks for updates regularly. I am running Windows 7 in a 64 bit environment (and yes I know for a fact that it is 64bit as I installed the 64 bit OS, and have verified it.) Using the latest version of IE, 9.0.8112.16421 (both 32 and 64 bit versions), when Flash Player crashes so does IE, every time. I open a web page containing flash content and poof, adobe error message followed by the IE error message, "something has caused IE to stop working properly." Using the most current version of FF, 8.0.1, this happens about 50% of the time and wipes my RAM completely clean clean when it crashes. I have removed everything branded as Adobe from my computer, and attempted starting from scratch. The only option I know of that is left is to wipe the drive clean and reinstall everything from scratch (yes Gilligan, that really is the only thing that has yet to be tried that I personally know of.)
So do I just give up and resign myself to never again see an online video until web developers realize just how crappy Adobe software has become and cleanse the web of flash and all things Adobe?? Or is there by some slim chance someone out there that has found a work around? What would really be nice is to have an alternative to Adobe Flash; I guess this shows why monopolies are a very bad thing as it allows for this sort of crap (trust me, I want to say so much worse right now, I really have come to despise Adobe) to go unchecked as long as they can turn a profit. So, any suggestions????

I dont know what's happening, Abode crashes all the time. I installed the latest version of Java, Mozilla, all updates on windows XP. Ca you help me?

Flash player Crashes every time 3 items or more running...

Since I updated to Flash Player 11,7,700,169 every time 3 or more Flash player items run, Flash Player crashes.
This happens in either Firefox or IE!
Eg.If the problem occurs in Firefox when I also have IE open then it affects IE & Vice Versa...
Is there a fix for this as it's becoming ridiculous now with the amount of crashes happening?

Hi Chris,
I'm not the original reporter, but I can confirm IE9 crashes in my wife's Windows 7 computer every time, on this site: http://dk.timefor.tv after latest update. Whenever she presses the "TV-Guide" link, it'll crash. It also happens if she opens the http://dk.timefor.tv/tv-guide directly, but in that case not until she leaves the page or closes the browser. Other sites are not quite as consistent, but after the update she sees a _lot_ of crashes, to the point that she's had to disable the plugin and use Chrome for sites using Flash instead.
IE9 in my own computer doesn't have the same problem (Both are 64-bit Windows 7, her computer is a T420 with a Core i5-2410M and 4 GB RAM).
I'm sending you the dump now (John, please note that you need to use -f * instead of -f "" to actually get it to create the dump, -f "" just shows that there was an exception, it wont dump it).
A funny thing I noticed is that her add-on manager thought that the plugin was 10.x (can't remember the exact version), even though more information said that the file was "Flash32_11_7_700_169.ocx" until I completely removed the Flash plugin installation and installed it again. However, the crash persists, even though the version is correct now (the dump is from the freshly installed version).
Another difference I saw between our machines was that the Flash updater on my PC did not require IE to be closed, but hers did, both when trying to re-update and doing the fresh install.
Best regards,
Dennis Du Krøger

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time

I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player. I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work. I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob

Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

Flash Player crashes every time in Firefox

Hello everybody, hope this is the right section of the forum, if it's not, please move this discussion to an appropriate forum.
I'm using Windows 8 x64 since some months (it's release to MSDN since september) and I never had problems with Flash Player with Firefox. Since some weeks, every time I reload/open a page which contains some flash player content, Firefox freezes for some seconds, and the small wheel of the mouse pointer cames out for a few seconds, then it stops, then it reappears again. It continues for 4-5 times, than it stops, and FF says that the Flash Player plugin has stopped working. If I take a look to the processes under Task Manager, I can see that the two processes called "Adobe flash player r502 etc..." (or something like this) are closed and reopened 4-5 times, and then it stops working when FF shows the error message. What I've tried:
1) Completely uninstalling Flash player and Reinstalling it.
2) Install a previous version, nothing.
3) Install the beta version 11.6, nothing. (At the beginning I was using the 11.5 version).
4) Start FF in safe mode (so with all of the plugins disabled).
I don't know how to solve the problem. Can someone help me? It's very annoying that I have every time to wait about 10 secs to click on something because flash player tries reopening by itself and then crashes again...
Thank you so much.

I have the same problem. Latest version Firefox and Flash, and the plugin causes Firefox to freeze all the time on one of my computers. It does so even if I uninstall and reinstall, if I reboot, etc. At times I can get through a few pages, but once the problem happens it seems to really happen on nearly every web page with Flash on it. I click on a tab or open a link, and Firefox freezes. It is completely unresponsive for some amount of time, usually 3-5 minutes. Usually I then get a message asking whether I want to continue or stop an unresponsive script. Only the Stop option will allow me to continue browsing (Continue never resolves the issue, just forces me to wait until the window comes back and I can click on Stop).
In some cases I get an actual crash. This can be if I try to click within the browzer more than a few times when the browser is frozen, or at times it crashes regardless. Rarely it has frozen and won't respond at all, so I have to call up task manager and shut it down.
My other computers don't have this issue, but my main one does.

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Have installed Flash player millions of times but still can't get BBC IPlayer (not for months)

Why can't I get BBC I Player for the last few months. It always asks me to install the Flash player which I have done millions of times - to no avail. This is hugely annoying

What OS?
What browser?

How i solved:

2 Copy the "Install Adobe Flash Player" file to desktop or any other directory as preferred
3 Open terminal and cd to desktop or the other directory
4 Run the following command on terminal: sudo ./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player
5 Insert the password when asked

I've about had it! Can anyone please tell me where they hid the "real" Flash Player this time?

Sorry folks - don't mean to take my frustrations out on the innocent but I am sick of always having to run in circles trying to get what my creative cloud membership pays for. I finally got a new laptop and I'm stoked because it's the first one I've owned that will be able to run Adobe stuff without batting an eye (okay within reason - it's still a laptop! lol!). Anyways, the problem is Windows and some other programs along with Adobe. I've had to reinstall everything like four times now. But if I can get Windows to behave and stay stable - I can work on some delayed projects.
So I got to reinstall CC and after 4 times this searching and hunting for apps is really getting on my nerves. First, why can't Adobe put the real Flash Player in with the regular download on the CC login? I know we got the plug in with IE but I can't use it with Acrobat Pro. I'm embedding vids and stuff in PDF's and the only thing that's worked so far is that actual player. Flash Builder along with Flash Professional don't help either. About a week ago, I tracked the real "Flash Player" down but this time - I can't find it to save my life. Every time I get to click on the DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER link - it sends me back to a CC login page or back to the IE instructions. I've only logged into my account ...uh...about 25 times now if I counted all the open tabs right.
Okay so I get tired of searching all over for the Flash Player I need and decide to jump over to Adobe Story. I've got some other aps downloading and those will probably finish in about six to eight hours. But Story Plus isn't a download and it's included in the CC membership to. Now that program I liked. I had a bunch of projects saved and it has taken me a bit to get back over there to check it out but guess what.
I log in and it says I'm on the free version and my projects are gone. The more I search, the more Adobe insists I get the Story CC Plus with my membership - but that's not what I've got on my screen when I log in. *sigh*
I checked my membership status just in case - yes, I'm coming up for my renewal next month but there's no problems with my status and my bill shows current. So now I'm getting really frustrated. I see a nice little link that says get Premium support with your CC membership. Oh yeah? Click! They lied again. No matter how hard I look, the links only send me in circles (I"m bookmarking this page otherwise it will vanish into the nether too! )
So now I get to go pull my backups for my script that is no longer on Story Plus. Wonderful. I'm not going to go look at membership again. I'm really close to cancelling as it is - so I'm gonna go chill out and wait for stuff to download.

Flash Player is free, and you might ask for help in Flash Player
This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs... and as far as I know, Flash Player is a different, free, download

I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Adobe Flash Player: How many times do I need to Upgrade in a week!!!!!!

For the past week, I have had to upgrade Adobe flash player 3 times.
This is making me mad! Either I upgrade or I can't view videos.
Why the ##@ does Adobe FORCE ALL USERS TO UPGRADE for minor bug fixes.
Three times in a week is excessive! The Adobe website is slow and I do not have all day waiting for the servers. Yes, I use vista and a broadband connecion! All this just makes me mad!

This is thanks to the free Adobe Flash Player, which is the most common tool available for playing Flash content in web browsers. This is under constant review and development with updates available online (almost weekly at times, it seems). In other portable electronic devices a slimmed down version known as Flash Lite is used to display the content.

Why doesn't the new flash player I downloaded work? Tried it several times. Firefox 6.0.2.

Every time I've tried to watch a youtube video in the past week it asks me to update my adobe flash player. I've tried at least 5 times over the course of several days and now I'm convinced that it isn't me. Apparently, you can't get tech support from adobe without spending money and if you ask me that sounds like a scam.
Every time I download it I've followed the instructions perfectly. I'm using Firefox 6.0.2. After downloading it and closing my browser like it asks, I click "retry" then "finish" and it opens up a new firefox window that says I'm running the new adobe flash player. I'll try to watch a video and it doesn't work. It seems like a frivolous thing to spend this much time fixing but I want to watch the OU/FSU game online next week and I'm afraid this issue won't be sorted out in time

I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
and for Explorer, it was:
install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.
