Flash player update installation on Mac OS

Mac Mini, OS X 10.9.5,
Web browser: Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5
I have down loaded the latest version for Adobe Flash player (AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_16_ltrosxd_aaa_aih) for Mac. After initializing, downloading files, etc ... finalization requires all open browsers and DashboardClient be closed.   Okay, so it's clear open browsers need to be closed, but stopping DashboardClient cannot be done.   Mac OS auto-restarts the application each time it is Quit using Activity Monitor. 
Why does Adobe require my DashboardClient to be closed ?  I do not have any widgets running in Dashboard that utilize Flashplayer.    The installation does not complete and I am now seeing Firefox warnings about possible issue with an outdated Flash player version, and is disabled.
This is not a new issue, as each previous attempt to install the update, results in the same message and non successful update.

  • Flash Player update Installation w/o local admin privileges

    Hi guys!
    I'm a trainee at a small "electrical retailer".
    We set up an Active Directory with a Windows 2011 Essentials last week.
    There are several Win XP and 7 Clients. Users have no administrative rights, but they can install Windows Updates (group policy).
    And here comes the problem: each time adobe flash player wants to download and install an update you have to promote with an administrator account.
    Is there a possibility to grant special rights to the adobe installer? Is there an opportunity to integrate flash player updates into the group policy oder WSUS?
    Thanks a lot!

    Just an update to Pat's post.  A full install, such as 11.2 will actually require admin privileges.  However, subsequent updates using the new silent auto update mechanism will work fine on a standard user account without admin intervention.

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Problem

    When I go to install the new Flash Player update on my Mac OS X I go through all the normal steps but when it begins to install it stays stuck at around 25% and won't move. It just says downloading. After a while of staying still it just says connection lost. I've tried a clean install I've tried deleting and redownloading it but nothing has worked so far.

    Please use the offline installer:

  • Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

    I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2.  Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
    For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem.  But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history.  I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
    Please help.

    Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877.  They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support.  Or buy the paid version.  They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
    It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network.  Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
    Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time!  They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update!  I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

  • Mac: InDesign CC crashing after Flash Player update

    System: Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe CC (InDesign, Photoshop, Muse) running on a MacBook Pro retina from mid-2012.
    Yesterday, after the Media Encoder and DPS update, InDesign begun to crash and did not run. I already reported this in another thread.
    I restored my system from a clean, perfectly working clone. No problems at all. Of course, I avoided the CC updated for now.
    Now, I did update the Flash Player (from 11.7.7 to 11.8). No other changes were made. And InDesign begun to crash AGAIN. This time, if I chose reopen from the crash notice, I can run the application. But it is very clear it is caused by Flash Player.

    Back to my initial rotice, I saw the crash is not due to Flash Player. This is what I made:
    1. Restored again the system. Did open ID. It runs ok the first time. Closed ID and tryed to open it again. Crash. I do not did anything else after the restore so it is not caused by Flash Player update.
    2. Tried the solution already known regarding users fonts. Not to avail.
    3. Maybe another app would cause the problem. So I begun to remove apps which run with the system start. For each one, I did an uninstall, restart the system and then tried to open ID. The results:
    3.1. BetterTouchTool: ID kept crashing.
    3.2. Midnight: ID kept crashing.
    3.3. Boom: ID kept crashing.
    3.4. FocusMask: ID kept crashing.
    3.5. KeyRemap4MacBook: ID kept crashing
    3.6. ClipMenu: ID kept crashing.
    4. Thought some customization could also interfere with ID. So tried:
    4.1. Remove personal keyboard layuot: ID kept crashing.
    4.2. Remove personal keybindings: ID kept crashing.
    5. Considered Spotlight indexing may also be the cause. So I made sure this process is not underway prior to open ID. Crash again.
    6. Maybe the problem is releated with some very specific system privilegies ID needs and are not the default ones set up in the system. In order to fix this I did set up total control to my user over all folders I guess ID may be using, propagating these privilegies to subfolders. No better.
    7. Created another admin user and then I am able to use InDesign CC with it (thanks, Steve!). This is a solution I tried to avoid with the 1–6 procedures because I knew I ahd to invest several hours in order to configure the system to this new user. But at leat it is working. Anyway, another problem appeared: Creative Cloud app says it has an update available but the installation fails every time.
    So, I exchanged a critical problem to a relevant one. Better but still far from good.
    By now, I really do not believe the ID crash is a sytem problem. See, I made a clean install of OS X 10.8, updated to 10.8.4, tested all and saved a clone. Then, added all the apps I use except CC, configured them all, did tests and saved a second clone. Finally, I did add CC apps (actually, just ID, PS and Muse), tested them and again saved a clone. Everything is ok with restores made from these three clones. I have 84 apps working fine –including other CC apps– and just ID crashing. Nothing indicates the problem is with the system and not InDesign.
    Actually, I still think there is something to do with file and folder privilegies used by Adobe installer which does not match the user ones. The fail to update CC app also seems to point to this. But I do not know enough about these deep system administration issues to do further investigation. I suppose Adobe will release an update within a month and point to some "system conflict" with ID.

  • Cna anybody help get flash player update to work on my Mac?

    I tried to update my flash player today and now my computer doesn't recognize any flash player on my system.  I am operating on a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and I use Safari.
    I downloaded the flash player update, which opened the install icon automatically.  After installation was complete I was instructed to restart my browsers for installation to take effect.  I restarted my browser, which didn't work.  I restarted my computer, which also didn't work.  Anybody have a suggestion to help me fix this problem.
    Thank you!!

    Hi, Adobe recommends Uninstalling current versions first and then Installing the Update. Some Mac users agree, some don't.
    This is the Mac Troubleshooting Guide and I hope it is helpful. It has instructions for Uninstalling and Installing, along with screenshots.

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?
