Having trouble installing Adobe Flash while running Yosemite...

I installed Yosemite over a week ago and ever since I've been unable to get Flash to work properly. I realized an update needed to be installed (even though I have the automatic updates checked for Adobe Flash), but I'm having a hard time getting the update to complete. It prompts me to close all browsers after the installer downloads. Then after doing so, I click on the installer and everything starts off fine. However, after about 75% of the install being complete, it shows: 'Error: Unable to proceed with the installation.' At that point the only option I'm given is to click 'Finish.' After clicking 'Finish,' Safari opens up to Adobe's website and gives me the option to either troubleshoot the installation or try it again. I've done both, yet neither are working.
I first tried to just re-install it, but saw that I already had it installed, so that's when I tried updating it to the latest version. Since neither worked, I uninstalled Adobe flash and tried a clean install, but the same error appeared at about the same time during installation.
Before I uninstalled Adobe Flash, I checked the version and it matched the latest, however, every page that uses flash says I need to install the update and prompts me to do so before continuing. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Unless you're using an older (PPC) Mac with OS 10.5 or older, those instructions should work.

    You'll continue to have trouble, because...
    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
    These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

  • Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

    Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

    Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
    I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
    When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
    If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
    I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
    If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
    Their player, plays the video without a problem!

  • Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

    Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1.  Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed.  I've tried quitting Safari.  Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet.  How to fix?

    Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish".  It then directs me to troubleshooting.  I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
    Hope that information helps.

  • I am having trouble installing Adobe flash to my i mac--any suggestions?

    I am having trouble downloading and installing Adobe flash player to my i mac,--any suggestions?

    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
    You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

    I am having troublegetting Adobe Flash ot run, I have uninstalled all Adobe products and Google Chrome , shut off the computer, and reinstalled everything the page says Installed Sucessufly but will not run Videos. What else can I do or what may I fix? Please Help

    Hi,
    What's your operating system and browser?
    You should ensure that Flash Player is enabled in your browser.
    If you are using Windows and Internet Explorer:
    - Disable ActiveX Filtering
    - Enable Flash Player in Internet Explorer
    Thanks,
    Sunil

  • I'm having trouble installing Adobe Flash too....

      I can't my Adobe Flash Player to work on my Mac OS X 10.5.8.  in Safari.  I have tried everything I have read- uninstall,repair remissions, spent about 3 hours with Apple Support and still can't watch videos.  I know a lot of people are having this problem and I'm trying to follow other peoples advice but I'm not sure I'm doing the right things.  I would appreciate any help.

    it didn't work.  adobepdfviwer  plug in is the only one in the 
    library- no flash player.   I think i downloaded something that messed 
    up my computer, a picture from disney world.  I couldn't even get on 
    Safari until after talking to Apple, when two flash player plug in's 
    are there I have to put them in the Trash to get into Safari  and the 
    when I'm prompted to download the Adobe one and still try to watch any 
    video or my son play games it tells me that I don't have MIME type and 
    its a due to a Flash Player Plug in.  thanks, Erin

  • I am having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player. I downloads but stop at about 30% and it won't continue downloading.

    Can someone please help me. I am going nuts trying to fix this.

    Thank you, thank you , thank you ...had the same issues as Mac users above and sure glad to find out it was not a Mac issue but rather a Go Figure You Would Think The Official Adobe Download Would Work But Doesn't  ******* Work issue .... Thank you Adobe for a great product but you guys have a lot to learn about Mac users ...  I came across a multitude of posts identical to this one all over the web with all kinds of solutions to do this that and the other and lo and behold one of your users Stenr41480953 came up with the simplest solution to simply download from a site that works...way to go Adobe, you should buy lots of share of mac because they might just take over your company one of these days !

  • Having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7

    having trouble installing Adobe Reader 8, know it's outdated, job requires it. System is Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you.

    You may see if there are solutions in this old thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3063830
    Although that combination isn't supported, many people have made it work.
    Why would a job require Reader 8? All older files are compatible with newer versions. Or at least they should be.
