Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

Flash Player won’t install after downloading
On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
Sincerely.
JWH

  • Startup Disk not there when reinstalling OSX (Early 2013 MBP retina)

    I had reinstalled the OSX on my MBP a few times so I am not unfamiliar with the process of rebooting from the boot menu, formatting via the disk utility and then reinstalling either via a backup or from the internet backup (as the retina does not have a dvd drive).
    Doing it this time and I did nothing different, however upon entering the disk utility screen, the main disk image simply wasn't there. I was conducting a reinstall of OSX from the internet and had already downloaded the new software, as you have to do when installing from the internet. I then came to the disk utility screen, ready to reformat the hard drive and it simply wasn't there at all. The only image there was the one I had just downloaded ready to install.
    Thinking this extremely strange, I reboot the computer and it takes ages, then comes to a screen with a continually flashing folder symbol with a question mark in it. I have left it like this for 30 mins with no change.
    So now, I cannot boot normally, and I cannot reinstall a downloaded image on the main SSD because it is not showing at all in the disk utility.
    I have plugged in an external hard drive and am currently installing a new image on this to try to check where the main hard drive is once it is up and running, but any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
    As mentioned, it is an early 2013 MBP retina, the warranty is up so cannot take it back to apple.

    If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing. Use 2nd link if not near an Apple Store or aren’t in the US.

  • Difference between late-2012 and early-2013 mbp retina 13"?

    I just bought the early-2013 mbp retina from the refurbished section of the mac site.
    It seems to be v. difficult to get detailed info on this model. Most web queries about aspects of this model bring up info on the late-2012 model.
    Is this some sort of freak model that was a limited run?
    One of the main reasons I ask is that I have a 512gb SSD, and I'm looking to replace it with the 768gb SSD module. The SSD module I am looking to buy advertises itself as being compatible with the late-2012, but no mention of early-2013.
    The late-2012 and early-2013 share the same model number (A1425), should I assume they carry the same architecture under the hood?
    **Before you reply**
    - Yes, I know I'm not supposed to open the computer, might void the warranty etc.
    - No, I didn't have the option of the 768gb SSD when I bought it, it was already assembled. I got it cheap.
    - Yes, I am aware that SSD upgrade is an expensive option.
    - Yes, I am aware I can store additional data on an external HDD.
    - Yes, I am aware I can boot from a higher capacity external HDD.
    - No, I don't want to know about alternative options, just the one outlined in the original query.
    Thanks.

    didvid.s,
    the technical specifications for the two models are here and here. Contrast and compare them to your heart’s content.

  • Anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, after guarantee period expiry the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs? CDs run

    Can anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, ( just after guarantee period expiry) the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs?
    CDs run without problem and until recently the DVD we have (all original no pirated copies) ran; we have used a CD cleaner disc to no avail.

    Welcome to the Apple boards:
    I suggest an erase and install and use your backup for any important files you have.
    Did you perform a disk check/repair and permissions repair and a PRAM zap before updating? While not required, they are usually necessary to avoid issues.
    There are so many reasons for a bad install, that it is impossible to list them all.
    Out-of-date software, drivers, etc, haxies, and other software can cause problems.
    My three updates were without incident, so it is possible for a perfect update, but unless you supply us with details about your previous system, programs, apps, drivers, etc., it is not possible to figure out what happened.
    Again, whenever installing an update to an OS, a clone or other full backup is absolutely necessary, as reading the posts on this board indicate.

  • Adobe Flash Player not installing after downloading

    Windows Vista
    Firefox 25.0.1
    Flash Player 11.3
    My Firefox browser has a red symbol that says "Outdated Adobe Plug-in" Block or continue allowing? Or another time it says to update.
    It takes me to the download centre, I download the flash, install it as advised and nothing happens. I don't get any status update to say the installation has been completed. So I download/install again and it says only one instance of it can run but again, no confirmation it has been installed successfully.
    I've only now tried to have updates set up automatically for Flash but whether that works I don't know as it's affecting me when I use websites or go on forums, making it jittery.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you.

    Download the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers), Flash Player Uninstaller, Shockwave Player Uninstaller, and Shockwave FULL Installer by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as".
    Save them. DON'T run them.
    Reboot.
    Use thehttp://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstallers to remove the old plugin and Shockwave player completely.
    Just to be sure, go to: C/Windows/System32/Macromed and delete the Flash folder if it still exists.
    The go to: C/Windows SysWOW64/Macromed (if there is one) and delete the Flash Folder.
    Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run, or press the Windows key+R - and type "regedit" then click OK)
    In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.
    Go to HKEY_CURRENT USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there as well.
    THEN run the Shockwave installer, and after that, the Flash Player installer.
    You should be up to date.

  • Graphics concern with early 2013, MBP Retina 15 2.4 i7

    I was having issues with my graphics glitching / stuttering (if that makes sense) when scrolling zooming. All my icons across the bottom would almost vibrate as the cursor past over them. Anyway, the good guys as Apple Genius (after id done the AHT / PRAM) replaced my machine like for like with a brand new early 2013 model (slight upgrade to 2.4).
    Anyway - I also have the new IMAC - My problem is this; I use google earth. I have this installed to both my MBPR and IMAC. On my IMAC it works faultlessly, smooth and as it should. On my MBPR however it is very glitchy, the screen stutters as i zoom in and move around. It is almost as if the graphics cannot cope.
    This new machine is 24hrs old, straight out of the box with OS X 10.8.3 - Does anyone have any ideas of what i can do? Surely this cannot be the way it is for a £2000 machine? I am no Apple expert and recently converted so have everythning apple. I purchased the Retina Pro as my expectations were that it would be the all singing and dancing machine - Any help, suggestions as to what i can do would be fantastic.
    Surely this cannot be a faulty machine? The only common thing between this and my last machine is the time machine back up!

    Just for info - incase its relevant:
    My IMAC is the following model which works pefectly with google earth.
    21.5-inch: 2.9GHz
    2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
    8GB (two 4GB) memory
    1TB hard drive1
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB
    My Macbook is the following model - Same google earth download, but graphics are really glitchy, stuttery when zooming in or out.
    15-inch: 2.4GHz
    with Retina display
    2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    256GB flash storage1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    Built-in battery (7 hours)2
    dont know if any of this info is relevant but im trying to provide all the info i can!
    Hope someone can assist!

  • Firefox won't install after downloading.

    I recently was having troubles with Firefox, I was running Firefox Beta 18 - it started saying it could not update. So after repeat failed attempts, I figured I'd uninstall it and re-install a fresh version. It will download, I can find the file folder, but even when I try to run it as an administrator it won't open the installer. I downloaded three different versions, all do the same. I'm currently running Windows 8 and have had Firefox for over two years on Windows 7. When I upgraded to Windows 8 it transferred seamlessly with no problems. I'd like to be able to use Firefox again.

    You can try booting the computer in Safe Mode with Network Support. This can be done by opening msconfig.
    # Enter Desktop mode by pressing Windows Logo + D
    # Windows Logo + R
    # Type ''msconfig'' and press Enter
    # Click on the ''Boot'' tab and choose Safe Mode with Network
    # Click Apply/OK
    Then restart your computer and it should automatically enter Safe Mode with Network Support. From there, find your installer and try running it again. When it's done, make sure to go back to msconfig and uncheck Safe Mode.
    Finally, restart the computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • 10.4.11 won't install after download "disk does not meet requirements"

    After successfully upgrading to 10.4.6, I was able to download (after three attempts) the upgrade to 10.4.11. When I went to install it, it said the volume I picked (the one the OS is on and just upgraded to Tiger) did not meet the requirements and had the red exclaimation point on it, as did all the other volumes. There is about 8.5 GB of free space on this volume. The upgrade was from the support website and was for the power PC, not the intel. What could be happening?

    Hi BDAqua,
    This is the only discussion that repeats the "disk does not meet requirements" message I'm getting. I downloaded the combo and get that message. These are my specs:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac7,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC 970 (2.2)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 3 GB
    Bus Speed: 900 MHz
    But I can't seem to find any requirements documentation that explains why my PowerPC won't take this upgrade. It's my son's computer and one of his favorite games just raised its req's to 10.4.6. So I went hunting (software update gave me nothing) and found the combo. Any advice appreciated.

  • HD Movie won't play after downloading. When hit play, this pops up: "This movie cannot be played on this computer"

    I have a Macbook Pro 13inch with retina display with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, with a 250 GB storage capacity, which 30 GB is still available. Its OS X 10.9.4 version.
    I recently purchased Divergent in HD in the Itunes store. I downloaded it, but when I hit play, a message appears that says "This cannot be played on this computer." I have authorized my computer so that is not the issue. Any thoughts?

    You might want to try it again.  It started working for me about 10 minutes ago (~8pm CST).
    This was happening for rentals and purchases.

  • [SOLVED] Both stable and unstable chromium-pepper-flash won't install

    Hi all,
    I just installed Chromium, but am unable to install Flash. It was recommended that I install pepper-flash rather than flashplugin, since the latter is deprecated. But there is a problem:
    chromium-pepper-flash-stable won't install because the link to the package is invalid:
    ERROR: Failure while downloading google-chrome-stable-31.0.1650.57-1.x86_64.rpm
    chromium-pepper-flash won't install because the md5 checksum is invalid:
    ==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb ... FAILED
    LICENSE.txt ... Passed
    ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
    This leaves me with three questions:
    Does this happen often, or is it a freak coincidence that both recommended Flash packages are broken on the first day I start using Arch?
    I can probably find the proper package file for chromium-pepper-flash-stable, but what is recommended practice for installing it (if I am in a hurry, or just impatient)? Should I hack the PKGBUILD file myself?
    Should I flag these packages as out-of-date in AUR?
    Thanks!
    Last edited by mhelvens (2013-12-04 22:51:39)

    Yes, edit the PKGBUILD yourself. Both the link and the checksum.
    Have a look at the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chro … mments=all Being broken is not an uncommon occurrence for this package.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading 7.0

    My iTunes won't open after downloading 7.0, what should I do?

    replying to Robert
    I get a Windows error code of 0x666D743F
    First see:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error
    There are some other possibilities
    That error has been known to be produced by having Total Recorder or the Volume Logic plug-in installed on the PC.
    For a workaround for Total Recorder, see:

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.
