Having Installation troubles with Adobe Flash and Reader

While downloading the Installer I get a "failed to initialize" warning at 50%. I've disabled my antivirus, and my firewall and I still get the same message. I'm in the process of updating my girlfriends laptop and these are the last two things I need done. any help?
Thanks;

I am having some trouble with Adobe Flash Player

I have tried to record an audioboo and when I press record the Adobe Flash Player comes up and asks to allow the mic etc... I set it up to allow but then can't close the box!? I have tried lots of times and it just won't close and hence I can't record the boo. I don't have a problem closing the flash player any other time and I have in fact recorded audioboo's before, but for some reason I can't now? Any help or advice would be great.

I have the exact same issue - but the funny thing is that it is only on my iMac - my MacBook Pro is fine and they both have 10.7.2 and the same latest Flash Player, so I think it might be a hardware problem to be honest.
Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac has been that way - my MacBook Pro had the problem with the first update from Adobe but after the second update of the Flash Player everything is fine on the MacBook Pro.
How old is you MacBook Pro?

I experienced the same problem on my Win7 Pro SP1 x64 lenovo T410 laptop with Intel HD Graphics. There was no video driver update available.
I followed the instructions in this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/853591 (step #4) and went back to version 10.2.
Problem solved. I just have to remember not to do any updates to flash player when prompted. I'll come here first to make sure the problem is fixed.

Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

Hi,
We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
So if I understand correctly,
1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
Some questions:
1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi fabiangs,
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that when you open a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, that the display resolution changes automatically on your system?
What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? Do you see this same issue in other files/applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

I am postin a message but no one seems to answer it . Plse I am having trouble with adobe 5 and I wr

I am hjaving trouble with adobe 5 not compatable with my computer so how do I get rid of it and up grade to a newer verson, hopfully a free one

There is no application named Adobe 5, so you might have to provide the correct name for the application. If it happens to be Creative Suite 5 (CS5) there is a good chance it is compatible with your computer but you might have to install it in a compatibility mode. If you want to remove it you should first deactivate it. YOu might also do well to use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool...
Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool
helps resolve installation problems for CS3 thru CS6 and for Creative Cloud
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
As far as I know there are no free upgrades, especially if the reason would be lack of compatibility. It might be true if you were to have purchased one version when the next version was just about to be released, but CS5 is well beyond being considered for that. Software is not freely upgraded to match newer machines - that's part of life.
Just in case... if the lack of compatibility is due to your machine not meeting the tech specs of CS5, then it will most likely be true that your machine does not meet the tech specs of anything newer than that.

Trouble with Adobe Flash Installation

I am having an issue installing Adobe Flash on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2 using Safari. When I try to run the installation, it begins running until about 50%. Then it says installation was unable to be completed. It does not give any more detailed error code. I have enabled pop ups and plug ins, made sure my firewall is off, updated my Safari, etc. Not sure what else to do. Please help!

Meggy644,
try downloading the standalone Flash Player installer from here, then exit all browsers and run the standalone installer.

Since Gamers and those who watch online videos are having trouble with Adobe Flash Player 10, why am I, who does neither, having the beast crash all the time?

Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.

As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

Still having trouble with Adobe Flash

I believe that I have interrogated all of the FAQ's and followed the help suggestions.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash 3 times.
I am still getting the message "you need Adobe Flash to play this video".
ShockWave enabled.
You Tube works fine.
My system:
Windows 7 (Home Premium)
Flash player version: 11.9.900.152
Internet Explorer
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Does Flash appear to load on this page on Step 5?

If so, what URL's specifically are you having problems with?

Supplying adobe flash and reader with an app

Does anyone know, if I produce lets say a cd with some
captivate files on it can I supply adobe flash on the same cd
so the user does not have to go onto the internet to download
it. (same question for adobe reader) I don't mind asking Adobe if i
can do it, but I have a feeling that, someone is going to say,
Adobe don't allow people to do it - period.

Hi Jane
A brief use of Google turned this up as the top result.

Repeated issues with Adobe Flash and Facebook Firefox 6

I have had repeated ongoing issues since upgrading to Firefox 6. Adobe Flash crashes repeatedly, even after installing the newest. In particular having a ton of issues with Facebook. It all works fine in IE, so have narrowed it down.
I think I would just like to go back to Firefox 5. Is that available somewhere?

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

I have a 2013 iMac and adobe flash and reader don't work, why.

I cannot open PDF's and adobe flash does not work what can I do?

I have ordered a 27inch late 2012 but your questions is puzzling. The pdf viewer is built into "quick look" and finder can even display thumbnails of pdf documents. Did you download a pdf viewer from adobe? Is a different program now set to be the default for opening pdfs? When you got the computer did you setup or migrate from an existing mac?
If you right click or command-click on a pdf, what are the options to view it?

Adobe Flash and Reader Confusion

Greetings, should Adobe Flash Player and Reader (used in Safari and Preview) be updated manually or are these app's updated via Safari updates from Apple? The Player and Reader applications are not installed but I view some Flash clips via Safari. I use Preview as a PDF viewer, but do these require Adobe security/patch updates be manually applied or are these updated via Snow Leopords' Software Update link? Thank you and regards.

Adobe are being very slow to update their applications, including Flash Player, for Lion:

Having trouble with adobe flash cs6 accepting a variable for the scene calling gotoandplay

ive got a simple quiz going and i seem to have hit a bit of a brick wall, in order to avoid having a seperate wrong answer scene per question i decided to impliment a simple history system, with a string variable defined on the first scene as a global variable and set at every question, problem is whenever the function to go back is called flash spits out an error saying it cant accept a variable for this parameter, but surely that cant be right. i dont understand where im going wrong and as this is coursework i need to fix it quickly. any chance of help?

The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is declared but not instantiated
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.
