How do I install flash player from the home screen?

I am operating Mac OSX.  I have flash player version 16.0.0.  I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date.  I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com.  There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be.  There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee.  I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt.  I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt.  I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt.  I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated.  How do I install flash player?

Hi Alicia,
If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files.  You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file.  Please do the following:
Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
Follow prompts to install Flash Player

    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

    Don't ask me how, but I have added an unwanted symbol on my home screen.  It is a link to a web page that I did by mistake.

    Hi,
    If you wants to install flash for any browser just visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ from that browser and click on "Install Now" button to install flash player for that browser.
    But since i have found that raptr is a standalone game so raptr support team would be the right contact who can guide you well that which Flash player plugin they are using in their game. And this is what i have found on there support page Raptr wants me to download "Flash for Other Browsers". Where do I get that? : Raptr Support
    You can follow the steps on that link, I hope it will solve your problem.

  • How can i install Flash Player in my iphone 4?

    How can i install Flash Player in my iphone 4?

    This won't be possible.  Due to restrictions from Apple, plug-ins are not allowed in Safari on iOS.  Instead, all  flash based applications that choose to do so are distributed via the app store using Adobe AIR.  From an end users perspective, you won't know if you are using a native or flash based app.

  • How Do I Stop Flash Player From Storing Cache?

    Windows XP SP3
    Latest Flash Player (i just upgraded it to the latest as of today)
    There are a couple of directories on my HDD that appear to be the place where Flash stores cache.
    One of them is (#1):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
    The other is (#2):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#sharedobjects
    These directories were so bloated with subdirectories that it literally took about 12 HOURS OR MORE to delete everything in them!  I'm not kidding.
    There must have been 100,000 subfolders or maybe even more in these folders.  They were choking everything on my computer that had to read past them.
    I FINALLY was able to delete everything from them after hours of work.
    Now I want to keep them empty, so this doesn't happen again but I can't find out how to do that.  It is so dang frustrating.  I looked and looked for a way to shut this storage off.
    I finally found the online "Settings Manager" and thought I FINALLY solved the problem after setting the "Global Storage" setting to "Never" and unchecking the "Allow third party Flash content to be stored on your computer" and "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" boxes.
    BUT NO!!!
    It didn't do a thing.  I looked at those two folders again and they are still being filled up with new subfolders!!!!
    UUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
    How do I keep Flash Player from storing this unwanted mess on my computer?!
    Thank you for ANY HELP!

    PS:
    Before I set the global settings as I stated above, I DELETED all the "Websites already visited" from the list in Settings Manager so that ALL Websites would be set according to the global settings.
    But none of that did a thing to stop the new folders from being created anyway.  How do I stop them??!!!

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.
