  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

    Hi Friends,
    This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
    This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
    (I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
    So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
    But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
    I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
    Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
    All best.

    hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
    you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

  • Trouble installing Flash player update 14.0.0.177 for Chrome

    I tried to help my mom update her flash player. She was running flash version 14.0.0.145 and having problems with it. I was checking things for her when I saw there was a newer version, 14.0.0.177, so I downloaded it. For Chrome you have to enable it in the plugins page, but the only version showing up was the old one. As far as I know, that is how it is installed. She has a windows computer with os windows 7. Is there something I am missing here, or something I should try that could help her get the newest version of flash running? Thanks!

    Hello,
    The Flash Player version integrated in Chrome is updated by Google, not Adobe.  For this Flash Player release, it appears Google released Flash Player via a Chrome update (versus a components update, which they sometimes do), as per this page Chrome Releases: Stable Channel Update, which indicates 36.0.1985.143 as the version that contains the Flash Player update. You can navigate to chrome://chrome to trigger the update (or Tools > About Google Chrome which goes to the same page).

  • Need help with flash player update

    I previously updated to adobe reader X. Later I got a popup saying that an updated version of adobe flash player was available, which I downloaded. I am running windows 7 home premium (64 bit). After updating the flash player I keep getting a pop up that says there was an error in the down load and that I need the 64 bit version. Today I up dated to Adobe reader X version 10.1.3. What do I need to do to make the flash player correct?  Adobe reader and PDF files are all working fine.

    You need to post in one of the sub-forums (Installing, Using), but I will move this post over.
    Try downloading the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • Cna anybody help get flash player update to work on my Mac?

    I tried to update my flash player today and now my computer doesn't recognize any flash player on my system.  I am operating on a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and I use Safari.
    I downloaded the flash player update, which opened the install icon automatically.  After installation was complete I was instructed to restart my browsers for installation to take effect.  I restarted my browser, which didn't work.  I restarted my computer, which also didn't work.  Anybody have a suggestion to help me fix this problem.
    Thank you!!

    Hi, Adobe recommends Uninstalling current versions first and then Installing the Update. Some Mac users agree, some don't.
    This is the Mac Troubleshooting Guide and I hope it is helpful. It has instructions for Uninstalling and Installing, along with screenshots.

  • Need help installing Flash Player

    After following the Adobe trouble shooting procedures, I'm still unable to install Flash Player.  Can anyone help?  OS is Vista Home Premium.

    Thanks for your email.  I'm using Internet Explorer 8 and didn't get any error messages; however I believe the installation was unsuccessful because  I didn't see the movie used to confirm a successful installation. 
    I understand a pop-up blocker might be inhibiting the movie (TechNote tn_19091); however I still believe installation was unsuccessful because when browsing websites requiring Flash I'm prompted to install it.  (Fixing the potential pop up blocker problem requires messing with the Registry - something I'd rather not do - and doing so wouldn't fix my installation problem.)
    I followed all of the steps in Adobe "Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation for Windows" TechNote (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#installwindowsvista) with no success.
    I then contacted Adobe Tech Support with no luck and their Tech Rep referred me to this forum.
    Some background:  I uninstalled Flash last year because I believed it was the cause of frequent IE freeze ups, and then reinstalled it earlier this year with no problems until it suddenly stopped working several weeks or so ago.  I can see the FlashUtil10 application version 10.0.45.2 in the Flash folder.
    I Restored Windows to an earlier configuration - no luck - will try again as well as going thru the above trouble shooting procedures in the event I messed up.

  • Need help installing Flash Player 9

    I am trying to install Flash Player 9 on my Mac G5 OS10.3.9 I
    had it installed previously but son clicked on some sort of
    download while online and now it's not working. Yesterday it worked
    fine.I downloaded the FlasPlayer install and ran it but it always
    stops at "Items remaining to be installed -4" and just keeps
    running. I even left it go overnight to see if it finished, which
    it didn't. Please help me figure out why the remaining 4 items will
    not install. I usually use Safari 1.3.2 as my browser but I also
    have Internet Explorer 5.2.3 loaded on my computer.

    I have exactly the same problem on my G4 laptop running
    10.4.8. I hate Adobe. There isn't even a means of contacting them
    to register the problem. Apparently nobody there wants to hear from
    us.

  • Please Help installing Flash player - flashplayer 10 disappeared?

    Hi, Can anyone help??? I had downloaded Flashplayer 10 prob month or two ago. We went to watch a prog on I.player and told flashplayer not installed!!! Dont know where it went as we never uninstalled it????
    For days I have been trying to install Flash player 11. But its not working. I have been through the online trouble shooting guide so many times. I am using Windows XP (32bit), I believe. Im not very computer literate
    Most of the time, I get to the stage where Adobe black screen says to close 'Internet Explorer' and 'Retry'. This I do and then I am getting "General Installation Error".
    On one occasion I did receive the Error: The Flash Player ActiveX control could not be registered. I went through the guide again and think that has been sorted. but I do not understand anything about 'Windows System Registry Entries'...  Sorry guys - a real computer dum dum

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for your help but sadly that did not help. Have repeatedly used your link to uninstall any possible hints of flashplayer.
    I did notice that I had 'Google Chrome' installed and I noticed that I could watch some things via that, but I do not understand it at all.
    As i thought that may be interfering with the Flash player download, I uninstalled that too.
    But Sadly, I am still getting the same message when I try and install Flashplayer:
    It installs to 50% and then gives the message "General Installation Error". It is so frustrating as nearly every website I go to asks me to download Adobe Flashplayer!
    I know another kind person has suggested a rather technical approach to solving the problem but I am really soooo computer illiterate and am so worried about wrecking the system.
    Do you have any other suggestions or should I pay to get someone to look at my PC? I just cannot understand how I had Adobe Flash player 10 installed, with Internet Explorer 8 AND now that has just disappeared. Prior to your sugg, I know that i did not uninstall it so not sure how it disappeared...... Have managed to download the other Adobe downloads without probs eg Shock Wave, Air etc
    With many thanks,
    Lisa Willson

  • I cannot install flash player updates

    I get the prompt that asks me to update flash.  I give it the ok and when it goes to install the updates, I get a script error.  It's been going on since last week.  I've gone directly to adobe's website to try and dowload that way without success. 
    running XP SP3, Internet explorer,
    adobes website says"You have version 11.6.602.171 installed"
    flash player says "active x version 11.602.180, plugin version not installed"

    Please try installing from the appropriate "stand alone" Windows installers located here:
