Flash 9 wont install on my MAC!! HELP!!

Hi all-
Everytime I try to install Flash 9 on my MAC (non-Intel) I
get this weird error message:
Error message 1008:5,-5000
It then says that I don't have "Access Priveledge"
I have uninstalled Flash 8, but it still won't install. I
read that the only fix is to reload Tiger! Can that be true?? For
Flash 9? There has to be another way! Help!!

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as" - DO NOT mount the DMG ir run it yet!
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

Adobe Flash won't install on my mac

When I try to install flash on safari it starts installing and then I think it intalls but then when I go back to a site that needs flash, it says I still need to install it... What is wrong?? PLEASE HELP!!!!

From the Safari menu bar, select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Security and check the box labeled Enable plug-ins.

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.

[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.

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

.avi animations made with Flash won't work on my mac laptop (version 10.6.8) but they used to. What is the problem?

Flash Player update stops installing [times out] at 12% FF8 & FF9.

Can anyone throw some light on this please? It downloads OK, Initialises OK, but always times out at 12% install. Adobe site no help at all. Am trying to update as Plugin says I need to. Have tried about 10 times at least and then updated to FF9 in the hopes this would solve the problem. Running W7 [64 bit] Only one thing I've noticed, I have 2.20GHz whereas Adobe minimum is 2.50GHz. There appears no answer from Adobe if you are below their specs.?
My desktop has upgraded OK with 2.50GHz. But if you can't upgrade what do you do?
Hope someone somewhere can help please!!

Thanks for the feedback. Providing Flash Player free of charge is a tremendously expensive undertaking, and the bundled offers are an important cost-recovery mechanism. That said, under normal circumstances, you should have seen an option to opt out of the bundled offer.
I've included a screenshot of the expected UI below. We've heard from some users that running third-party plug-ins like Ghostery interfere with the correct execution of the software on the page, which results in the UI for this middle column not being displayed.
If you're not using something like Ghostery or AdBlock Pro, and you were not presented with this dialog, I'd be more than happy to investigate the issue further and try to get it resolved. If you could give me some basic details as described in the following article, that would be very helpful in attempting to recreate the problem: Read Before Posting: How To Get A Useful Answer To Your Question

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.

See: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

The newest version of Flash Player won't install on my Mac! Plug ins not working now!

Anyone else having this problem???? I downloaded the "latest version" yesteday. Now I can't run Iheart radio/pandora/Jigidi puzzles without it saying it can't because of "plug ins".

I’m seeing a lot of these complaints with this latest update… and Snow Leopard
I made a PDF with illustrated, detailed instructions to resolve this: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
Use THIS file with those instructions: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)

Flash Player won't install properly in Mac

I have repeatedly attempted to install the most current version of Adobe Flash Player in my 10.8.4 Mac without success. Actually it installs, but does not give me opportunity to accept your terms (which I am willing to do). When I try to open a file, it is black. What do I have to do to get this to work properly?

Junie,
Hi...
I really appreciate your assistance.... I installed firefox. I have MAC version 10.5.8... I think I should have stated that on my prior post......sorry.
The version of firefox I installed on this mac works until I attempt to use a app that requires flash. I updated the flash player with the correct version that firefox requires.
to no avail will the plugin update. when attempting to update the plugins, I get a message from firefox telling me that I do not have the required system in the mac in order to update the plugins.
So...I am going to continue to investigate and analyze where I am going wrong in my attempts to reinstall adobe flash on this mac....
I will keep you apprised to my outcome. Any further assistance that you may possibly provide me would be Great!!
Thanks again,
Scott

Flash won't install on Mac 10.9.4. Tried all troubleshooting I could find.

Tried the direct downloads, tried cleaning the system and starting from scratch, have re-started the computer multiple times, made sure that safari and all other browsers were closed before starting. Gets to about 4 percent complete off of the direct download then stops.
Computer has MobileIron on it, but there shouldn't be any restrictions on my computer from that.
Have an almost identical computer that it worked fine on on the same network I am currently connected too so firewall shouldn't be an issue.
Also tried on multiple networks.
Have also attempted on different admin accounts.
