Help! I am in a site that keeps telling me that I must install Adobe Flash Player before it will allow me to go further but my computer says that it is installed. What do I do?
What is wrong with my computer or is it the program site that I am in? It keeps telling me that I must install Adobe Flash Player but Adobe says it is installed and up dates do not apply. Help because I cannot go further on the site that I am on and it is a secure site that I have used many times in the past.
What browser are you using? So you have a website pulled up and it is a full screen flash player trying to play or is it a area of the page with a player claiming on the player to install flash?
Check out this link: Flash Player Help
1. Test your Flash Player for versions to make sure nothing happened with that link. If Adobe's Flash Player test through this link says your player is working and up to date then,,,
2. Check your add-ons or extensions, depending on the browser for what they are called. Make sure Flash Player extensions are enabled. That allows it to play within a webpage.
3. Check your Flash Player settings itself. There are settings where you restrict, approve, and so on in different ways. The link I shared with help guide you.
4. Check parental settings. My son plays on this parental control software that always restricts the Flash Player with his games, or videos on Disney, Nick, and other channel websites.
5.I used to have a computer that claimed this all the time. It drove me crazy. I found out for that computer that it did not like an update so I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player. I made sure the Adobe page showing the Flash Player was reinstalled correctly came up, then closed all my browser pages, then reopened to make sure not permission spot popped up to ok for future use.
Let me know if this helps. If not, share your computer and browser type.

Hi. I can install Adobe Flash Player plugin as i usualy did since 5 years. The problem is that firefox is always asking fo it if i i had never install it. I've tried to install firefox newer versions and the problem pesists. Thanks.
Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,

I want to install Adobe Flash Player & Firefox won't allow it - how do I get around this?
I need to allow Adobe Flash Player to be installed
Uninstall that old Shockwave Flash 9.0 r16 program first.
Then do this: Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -
What am I doing wrong?
HOW are you closing Safari?
I had the exact same problem. I would "X" out and I thought it was closed, but it wasn't. I found that, after I "X"d out of Safari, I needed to go up to the very top banner, next to the apple icon on the far left (it should say "Safari" next to it), click on Safari and, at the very bottom of the list, click on "Quit Safari".
Then, go ahead and complete the down-loading.
Let me know if this helps. -
Workaround found: Install Adobe Flash Player.app seems to be damaged
Like many other Mac users, today I tried to update to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. The downloaded Install Adobe Flash Player.app (v3.3.9.0) seems to be damaged. It seems to have been inappropriately altered so its code-signing no longer works with the Mac OS X Gatekeeper. Even worse, switching the Gatekeeper off won't give any better chance to run the Installer.
This is what the Console tells:
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 coreservicesd[65]: Application App:"Install Adobe Flash Player" [ 0x0/0x7b07b] @ 0x0x7f93206ca360 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x7d07d:) ), so denying.

Google pointed me beside others to this page which informs that users won't have a real chance to fix it:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waitin g-for-other-installations-to-complet
It seems as if this isn't new to Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1151807
Counting this and the big bunch of error reports in this forum, I guess you Flash developer guys here at Adobe should check and fix the Installer soon.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
Here is a workaround that worked for me: Download the Flash Player archive 12.0.0.44 from this Archive page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives
When it is unzipped, you will find a folder named fp_12.0.0.44_archive in your Downloads folder. Open its subfolder 12_0_r0_44, and run the flashplayer_12_0r0_44_mac.dmg.I have upgraded to Yosemite but had this problem prior to that. What I did find that work was to use the Disk Utility.app to recreate the dmg file.
Try this:
Right click on the dmg in Finder.
Choose: Open With->Disk Utility.app
Once open:
Select the dmg image at the bottom left in the list view.
Choose First Aid tab
Choose Verify
Choose Repair
On the Top Toolbar choose Convert
Use standard selections and place the new image on the Desktop
Dbl click on new DMG image file and it should work. -

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either. I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish. It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it. It shows up in the "system preference" and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player". It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does. It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder". I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?
