Flash Player won't download on iMac

I am trying to update my Flash Player but I just go round and round the two Adobe download sites in a circle. Nothing happens when I click the download button.
iMac (2011), Mavericks OS 10 9.1
Existing Flash player version 11.9.900.170
New version offered by the Adobe site: 12.0.0.38
Safari Version 7.0.1
In Mavericks > System Prefs > Flash Player > Advanced I have checked "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)"
In Mavericks > System Prefs > Security & Privacy > Firewall, the Firewall is turned OFF.
In Safari > Security > I have checked "Enable Java Script" and
I have checked "Allow Plugins. In "Manage Website Settings", under "Allow subsites to use this plug-in with the settings below", and "Currently Open websites", get.adobe.com is "Always Allow".
The Problem:
I have visited:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
which confirms my present version of Flash Player. I press on:
"Download Adobe Flash Player page by clicking here."
That takes me to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
but when I press the big rectangular orange button "Install now" I am sent to:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/
which is promotion for the Cloud. At the bottom is "Downloads" and a button "Adobe Flash Player". Pressing that button takes me back to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
So I am going round in circles with no error message to tell me what is wrong.
I got the same result when running Mountain Lion (OS 8), now also in Mavericks
I need to use another application that requires the current version of Flash Player. What a nightmare!
Any ideas please?

try downloading the offline installer of Flash Player from here, and then run the installer locally on your MacBook Pro.

Flash Player won't download for IE7

Since the update of IE7 of last week, I can't download Adobe
Flash Player. I tried downloading it using Firefox and it downloads
but installs only on Firefox, so I suppose the player is browser
specific.
I need the player when I go to www.nytimes.com and click on
the video box, which now a days says I need to update the Flash
Player. I click on the button and it takes me to Adobe downloads,
but when I click for download (agree and install), a new page says
I have to allow downloads and instructs me to "Important Message:
You may need to click the gold bar at the top of the browser window
to allow the install." The thing is that there is no yellow ribbon
for the Adobe website, so I can't really allow for the pop-up
(download). I switched off the pop up blocker and still can't get
the player to download. As I said, this all started after that rush
job by Microsoft to update IE last week.
I run Windows XP, SP3.
What could I be doing wrong?

I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
will not download or install, but will download and install for
Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
find something out, it would be freat!

Flash Player won't Download

I'm running WIN XP tried to use my real player and says i
need a new version of flash player. I try and download a new
version and it brings up the page, but no run or save pop up... I
uninstalled Flash player completely from my hard drive, and it
still won't pop up the window... please help!!

Hi Phx9217-
I don't know why RealPlayer would care about your FP version
as long as it was v9xx or better (for the online stuff.) Did it
work previously with another FPv?? What has happened lately? Did
you dl FP10 and THEN get the message?
Anyway- what browser are you normally using? WinXP2?
........Need more info......
Also, check out the FP support pages.

FP10:

or cnet/downloads, filehippo.com, etc.

Can someone please help to figure out why Flash player won't download to my system???

When I go into facebook I have to download flash player every time. This has been going on for about 6 months. I have tried to get help but can not seem to get it figured out. Last week when I downloaded it started to say it was finished but wasn't in the system and now I can't play games on facebook at all. Please someone help.

That means you do not have Flash Player on your system at all.
Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Flash player won't download in IE

Hi everyone, i've had this problem for some time now and just recently started to try and solve it. It started a fe months
ago when i opened up steam, and the box in the center for the store displays new games or what have you ( i honetly forget
now what it did but it was something like, becase i havn't seen it in months). So it says "You will need to Install the
latest Flash plugin to view this page properly." I say alright whatever just update flash, not so simple. it opens up ie
and so i click on "agree and install now" button and it just reloads the page instantly and nothing happens...... so i just
gave up on it because i didn't really need it i didnt think. Plus IE i never used because i have Firefox which i use and IE
just got really bad after IE8 i think i used to use it all the time now it just will close unexpectly and what not. So back
on track im using steam today and this little anoyance of "you need to pdate flash" thing was pissing me off and i think i
need to update it in order to purchase games? i tried to buy a game today by "adding to cart" and it just does nothing. so
i assum i need flash? not to sure but anyway this flash thing shouldnt do this because of just IE being crappy. i really am
at a loss as to what to do now so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your post is very unclear; do you have Flash Player actually installed? Which version? (See http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)
Do you have Shockwave Player installed, and which version? (See http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/)
Best if you start again and try a clean install:
download the Flash Player uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the FP installer for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
download the installer for all other browsers http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installers.
If you don't have Shockwave Player installed, get it from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/Shockwave_In staller_Slim.exe

My adobe flash player won't download--gets stuck at 25%

I have a Mac. I've tried downloading adobe flash player a couple times now. It installs well, but it always gets stuck at 25% when it downloads. Then when I try to shut down it tells me I can't because it's installing even though I keep trying to quit the installation. So then I have to shut my Mac down by using the emergency shut down button. Please help Adobe! If you can get back to me ASAP that would be great.

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.

Please help!!!!!!

Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
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/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Delete All
Now select the Storage tab.
Click Delete All
Relaunch Safari to test.

Flash Player won't start on a 4 year old iMac with Maverick

L.S.
I switched to Maverick on my 4 year old iMac. At first the program Maverick slowed down te activity speed. After changing datafiles to an external drive it works oké now. No problems untill now.
Recent I needed Adobe Flash Player, which is downloaded in the most recent version on my iMac, for starting a program for showing results. The program doesn't start, I had to download the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player.
No result - Testing - downloading - removing cookies - restarting - downloading and installing again, etc.
Testing the Flash Player on YouTube the problem results in the same problem.
The software on my iMac is up to date.
Has anybody the solution to solve this ?
Thank you,
FamB
