Having installation problems with flash player! Please help!

So i download and begin installation for adobe flash player and it starts installing but stops at 50% to tell me to close Safari browsers. The problem is that there are no safari browsers open because I had already closed out of them but it keeps telling me to close them.
I have no idea how to fix this, please help!!

Hello,
If you're just closing the browser window, you're not actually quitting the application. You need to quit the application for Flash Player to install. There are a few different ways to Quit Safari:
Quit Safari app from the Dock icon:
Mouse over the Safari icon in the Dock
Press CTRL and left-mouse click at the same time
A menu will display. Click Quit to terminate the application.
Use Activity Monitor to terminate Safari:
Launch Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
Ensure 'All Processes' are being listed (menu in the upper right)
Find and select Safari
Click the Quit Process button (upper left)

Big problem with Flash Player - please read.

So i just got a new computer, and everything's fine. I get Avast, Spyware Terminator, and start going back to my usual.
I then go play a game, and it says I need a plugin, of course, Flash Player.
I click the button and go to install it: In the end, Spyware terminator blocks the downloading process with a warning message: A trojan was discovered in the download process. So everyone, if you have any problems with flash player, lowering your defenses and so on has a high chance of increasing the problem. Avoid downloading it (for now) and try to find an earlier version.
Thank you for reading this,

Only download installers from the original developers website, in this case adobe.com or macromedia.com

Installation problems with flash player 9

Hi,
I am having multiple problems with my copy of flash player. I
have tried several versions 7-9 and all have had these problems. I
know one of my problems is that I still use Win98SE. So, I am
somewhat limited in what I can use. It all started when I visited
several sites but, primarily www.wpsdlocal6.com, when the video
tried to load flash9 would crash my explorer. After trying several
other older versions as sugguested by some forum message, they
would work once, maybe twice, and then do the same thing. I have
checked my settings several times and all seem to be where it needs
to be as far as I know. Out of frustration, I tried again to
install flash7. During the installation it could not find where to
place my web brower plug-ins. (I use IE 6.0.2800.1106 and I am not
sure where IE places its plug-ins to tell it look in a particular
directory.) I know at one point in time (I have been working on
this for over a week) I realized my uninstaller was outdated, but I
got that fixed.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

A quick upadate. I have gotten all of my issues corrected,
but one. I am getting a pop-up message on my home page,
www.excite.com, saying I am trying to install activeX onto an
unsupported computer. I only get an "OK" button and it will then
"unpack." It does this everytime I access the website. Apparently
there is a setting that needs to be corrected or something in a
cache making my computer to behave this way. I have another
computer with similar setup, win98se, ie6, flash 9,0,47,0 and it
runs as smooth as glass. I finally got flash 8,0,42,0 to work other
wise on this computer. I am nervous about updating to flash 9
because I have had problems with flash9 crashing my browser on this
computer. Any sugguestions?

I'm having multiple problems with Lion. Please help!

I downloaded Lion on the first day or release and it has been a very frustrating experience. Today, I reinstalled Lion hoping a fresh install would fix my woes but the problems persist. I'm in desperate need of advice and would appreciate any help from the gurus out there!
I have a 24" iMac with the following specs:
Problem 1) Ever since I installed Lion Safari is a nighmare. Roughly 30% of any given website loads. Below is a screenshot of www.apple.com:
Problem 2) No matter how many times I uncheck "restore windows after closing application" my mac opens EVERY window that was open previously. For example, I do a lot of graphics work and use Preview as my image medium. Every time I open Preview 100 + images load unless I go through each one of them individually and close each window. *****.
Supposed solution:
What Preview looks like each time I open the app: 100+ Images
Problem 3) Even with 4 gigs of ram my Ram is constantly ran into the ground ever since the upgrade and my computers performance is in the gutter. I have to constantly use "MemoryFreer" to free ram which is sometimes down to 14 MB free out of 4 Gigs.
PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

TBH, Lion is a bit of let down, regardless fo whether there are issues present or not on your particular setup/system etc.
If a clean install has not fixed the issues above, I would be tempted to appraoch a Genius Bar and show them the problems. This may be faulty RAM and something that needs to be demonstrated, before a fix or repair can be considered.
Best of luck.
Yes you are correct, and as the OP did, questions are asked and other users try to answer. As for the poster I answered, he did not ask a question, but expressed extreme disappointment which he is entitled to do, therefore I suggested he have a read through some of the other threads to perhaps address whatever issues he is having. As you say it could be faulty RAM or a bad installation, or a hundred things inbetween. That is why you need to hunt down similar symptoms to narrow it down. Or if you are under warranty, let the Apple Store fix it.
Good Luck

ERROR with Flash Player Please help!!

My Roomate was looking at the programs under control panel and well clicked on one of the flash player components and next thing I know it is uninstalled...
My game chat will not work or sign on due to this and I have tryed everything I can think of but I dont know what I need to install or do to fix this.
The error I got was:( sorry I do not kow how to do screen shots)
Adobe Flash Player 10
An action Script error has ccurred.
Error.Error#2134: Cannot create SharedObject
at flash.net::SharedObject$/getlocal()
at njChat_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Please if any one can help with this it would be awesome!

A few questions:
what is your operating system & version (also, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your web browser & version (also, in case of Internet Explorer, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your Flash Player version (see http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)?
The error message you listed usually shows a problem of the web application, not on your side. Unless you have the Flash Player debug version installed. What does Add/Remove Programs list under Adobe Flash Player?

I am having a problem with Flash Player constant crashing.

I have updated to new version plus uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. Dell computers have also attempted and claimed to have been successful three different times. It still continues to crash. The new message I am getting is continue plug-in or stop plug-in. I typically stop plug-in but then it can up to five minutes or more to reload the page. I also receive reload the page message as well. This happens using Firefox and Chrome both as the browser. Forgot to mention this happens when playing games, i.e. Farmville 2 and Coasterville, on Facebook. I don't seem to have a problem on any of the other games available. This has been happening for months and I have researched everything I can plus doing everything I can but it does NOT resolve the problem. I have also disabled my virus protection while reinstalling this software. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!! Failed to mention that the Dell technician even uninstalled Firefox and Chrome to eliminate the issue. Of course per this message that did not resolve the problem either. Thank you , Pam

I was not even awary that you could copy text from Flash content; can you point me to a site that allows that?
I also don't know if Flash Player uses its own encoding, or that of the hosted web page.

Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.

Problems with flash Player

So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
- Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
- Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
- Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
- Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
- I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
- I've removed GROWL notifications completely
- I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

Hi!
I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
I hope it hepls!
best

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Hello,
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.

White/Black Screen Problems With Flash Player

I have had a problem with flash player since updating it in November. Certain websites such as YouTube and Worldstarhiphop work perfectly while other websites such as Facebook produce black or white screens when trying to play videos. If you attempt to play a video on a website in which you get the black or white screen, you can still hear the audio. While that is annoying it is only a minor inconvenience, the biggest problem is with other websites that require flash. I currently want to run an internet speed test on my computer but I can not find a website that my flash player will work with. The weird thing is that the animation at (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) plays correctly.
To fix the problem, I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I have also tried changing the settings, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. I feel like I've tried just about everything and I'm running out of ideas. I currently am using flash version 12.0.0.44 through Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.16518. My computer is running on Windows 7. Does anyone have any idea's on how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problems and have tried all the posted solutions with no positive result, so far.
Similar to above… on all of the web pages on which I am unable to see the flash videos, if I click in the flash window to start the video, all I get is audio playback with a black or white screen.
However… If I move the mouse around inside the flash window, I can see that the mouse pointer still reacts wherever the video control buttons are located at the bottom (although I can’t see the buttons, themselves). And if I click the “full screen” button …. usually in the lower right… my view goes to full screen and the video appears!
I don’t know about everyone else, but my problem appears to be limited to:
Specific websites (facebook, most news websites)… I have no problem with Youtube or the Adobe Test Page.
Viewing video in the embedded flash window on the web page... Opening the video to full screen allows me to see it.
I’ve tried this on several of my problem websites with consistent “success” at viewing videos. It's an annoying solution, but at least I can see the videos.

Having installation problems with flash player! Please help!
