Flash won't install (Mac)

I've tried absolutely everything and flash still won't install (latest mac software). It gets halfway through then an error message pops up. Any ideas? Anyone solved this one? It's driving me mad.

[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Should I flag these packages as out-of-date in AUR?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!

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.

CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5

I've just received CS3 Design premium, and InDesign won't install. There is no reason given, just that it won't install. Shared components and Version Cue Server won't install either. I just upgraded to Leopard on a g5 Intel system. Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks,

CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5
Hi Darlene,
I think I just got lucky - it hesitated a few times then finally clicked.
One of the previous posters suggested to not install Version Cue, so I
clicked that one off. Did you repair the permissions and restart before
installing? Spin around 3 times clicking your heels saying, there's no
program like InDesign?
If you can stay in InD 2 I would suggest that, expecially if you use a lot
of clipping paths. InD3 has a bug there that won't see interior paths, so
you have to go back into Photoshop to rework the image. If I had only know
that before.....
Good luck!

Flash 9 won't install, mac osx

I need help! I downloaded the trial version of Flash 8 and
tried to install, it began at 8755 items and went down to 109 where
it stalled. I had to force quit the application to get out of it. I
contacted Adobe, they sent me instructions that fixed the same
problem for someone else. I repaired the disk permissions, created
a new user, uninstalled the player( this froze too, had to force
quit but the player is gone). Now I dont have the player, it wont
install (freezes with four items left) and every time I run any
adobe installer my mac freezes...help!

Well, none of these steps have been tested (by me) on a non
Intel mac.. So maybe we need different steps for PowerPC
processors, which wouldn't necessarily make sense to me.
Can you try these steps in order please and let me know what
happens?
1. Delete the following files (or the entire folder) if they
exist:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player Enabler.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt
2. Repair disk permissions using the Disk Utility
(/Applications/Utilities/). For details see Apple TechDoc
"Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X".
3. Reinstall Flash Player 9.
THEN... if that fails do this:
1. Delete the following files (or the entire folder) if they
exist *(again, and yes I know it's repetitive...)*
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player Enabler.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt
2. Run Disk Utility's "Permission Repair" again..
3. Install FP9 as root:
a. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
b. CAREFULLY type the following line, exactly as you see it
here (there is a space after cd):
for intel macs: cd /Volumes/"Adobe Flash Player 9"/"Install
Flash Player 9 UB.app"/Contents/MacOS\
for powerPC macs: cd /Volumes/"Adobe Flash Player 9"/"Install
Flash Player 9 OSX"/Contents/MacOSClassic
c. CAREFULLY type the following line (there is a space after
sudo):
for intel macs: sudo "./Install Flash Player 9 UB"
for powerPC macs: sudo "./Install Flash Player 9 OSX"
Let me know if you see any path discrepances on the powerpc
machine. I'm looking at the paths on my macbook pro and trying to
type them out correctly on the XP box I'm doing this forum
on..

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.

Flash won't install window 7 64 bit

I have had two days worth of headaches trying to fix this. I have the following
Windows 7 64 bit
IE 8
spyware doctor anti-virus
Apparently Adobe updated itself a couple of days ago, and Now I have this Flash Player problem. Everything worked fine until then.
I need some clear concise instuctions on how to fix this. I have tried the uninstall, and the reinstall and looked in the windows folder and tried to find the 32 bit IE somewhere on my computer and have found nothing.
So I've had it, I'm not happy, in fact I am down right mad. Please someone help fix this. Thank You

Hi, I understand you have the Win7/64bit/IE8. Firefox(FF) you say is working, which you installed Flash Player using the 32bit. Flash Player will install and has been installed and is being installed in Win7/64bit. But you can't use the 64bit browser to do so, neither in IE or FF or Chrome or any other browser that Flash Player supports.
If you got the prompt from Adobe Flash Player on your Desktop and it installed, did you Reboot(restart) after it was completed? Also, Using IE, go the the ALL manage add ons and look for Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...
Flash10e.ocx version 10.0.45.2 and make sure that it listed and it is Enabled. This Control works with your Flash files for IE. Just as the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in for FF does.
If you did not get the Flash Player prompt from Adobe and did an Install manually, then using IE you would have had to use the Adobe Uninstaller first. There are certain procedures and sometimes when Installing Flash Player, a Firewall, an Anti-Virus program, too high of security settings for IE will block the Install of the needed ActiveX Control.
If Firefox used ActiveX Controls as IE does, you would have had the same problem. FF uses plug-ins so there is a difference.
If you want to get Flash Player Installed successfully, then these variables need to be considered.
If no one with Win7/IE8/64bit systems were able to install Adobe Flash Player, then I would agree that Adobe needs to fix something. However, that is not the case.
There are many reasons that you were not successful, but blaming Adobe won't get FP installed.
Thanks,

Adobe AIR won't install Mac OS 10.8.2

I'm trying to install Muse and/or a Dreamweaver Extension from a Creative Cloud account and it won't install because of a problem with AIR. I've tried installing AIR through the Muse dialogue and it crashes the installer. I've also tried to install AIR (version 3.5) directly from the Adobe site, downloading the installer separately from the Muse dialogue and recieve the below error message. What is the problem? I keep deleting old versions of Muse and Air, restarting and it's still the same problem.

Adobe Flasher Won't Install

I've have tried everything I can think of to try to install
adobe flasher. I had it on this computer for a long time and now it
just won't install properly. Everytime i try to install it, it says
that I need to install the Active X. I then try to install Active
X, but I always get a note that tells me that the instalation
failed. I can't view certain pictures and video. I can't seem to
properly download the correct Active X control or there maybe
another problem. Thanks for any information.

The number one reason that the ActiveX installer fails to
install on IE are due to incorrect permissions in the system
registry. We have solved hundreds of these Windows system
permissions with Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Note: This is strictly for Windows IE, these issues do not
occur on other browsers such as Firefox.
www.firefox.com
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registy
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:

Flash won't install properly and I need your help!

Details:
-Computer: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo)
-Browser: Safari 5.0.5 (5533.21.1)
-Flash version: Flash 10.3
-Problem: Installation seems successful, but websites still cannot play Flash content and request (again) I download the latest version
Hello everyone!
I hope someone here can help, because this problem is driving me crazy. My Flash has always worked fine until about three weeks ago when Youtube told me to download the latest Flash. Facebook applications were telling me to do the same.
Obediently, I followed the prompts to the Adobe website to download:
-Flash 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel)
However, it seems that nothing has changed, and these same websites are still requesting I download the latest version of Flash.
I am not TOO tech savvy, but it appears to have downloaded correctly. The installation manager states that it was successful, however Flash is not listed under my Applications folder (not sure if it is supposed to?). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still no luck.
I would appreciate ANY advice you might have. I have no idea how to fix this by myself. Please help!

Hi, Check and make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled in Safari.
See if that is the problem.

Flash won't Install

Hi,
Flash Player will not install on my computer. I am so frustrated, I've spent hours on this and Abode's site is very confusing. I had Flash and all was well. Then one day I did not have Flash, I do not know why. So I've been trying to install again. I follow all the steps just fine and sure enough it all goes well and I'm told Flash has successfully installed. Nope. It's not there. I go to play things (as a test) that require Flash and it says I need to download Flash. I've downloaded Flash ad nauseum. It does not 'stick.' I do restart computer after each time.
I am using a MacBook Pro computer, OS version 10.7.5. I've followed the instructions on Adobe, etc... and it definitely downloads. It seems to install. It says at the end 'Installation complete.' But in the end..... nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Is something on my computer preventing this like Teflon? If so I would think I'd get a message saying so but all I'm getting is messages saying Flash has installed.

Thanks Pynkeye.
Yes, wish it were more obvious that 'allow plug-ins' needs to be checked. Here is the link where I learned this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html
I also followed this tutorial by Mike M. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5560631#5560631
Not sure if that Mike M. tutorial lead me to the first link -- that included advice to allow plug-ins -- but both mention that. I do know that the Mike M. clean install tutorial helped me properly uninstall Flash (as I'd downloaded it several times so I may've gunked up the works) and I'm afraid my own previous uninstall efforts may've lead me to delete some Photoshop things I should not have (I HOPE not!).
I will say that I am quite sure (99 Percent sure) that the regular step-by-step Flash install walk-thru (which you are linked to if you go to something that needs Flash to play and you do not have it) does not say to check to see if the allow plug-ins box is checked. And of course it should.
