How to get flash player to install correctly

Hi Guys,
my name is Patryk and I need help installing adobe flash player on my computer:
So i download it and when i click on it it pops up with a screen that looks like its the background for the installer window, but I don't see any text, nor installation buttons. I tried to reinstall all of my browsers, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, but with no success.
I have Windows 7 64 bit installed on my Optiplex 755 computer. It seems like the installer is broken some how or another.

Thank you all for the replies; I'm quite surprised that this post generated this many replies, thank you all so much!
My problems started when IE tried to update to FP 14.
I did get my issue fixed; I used the Flash Player Uninstaller (found here: http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe), then restarted my computer.
I went to the Flash Player Archives page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html), and downloaded the ZIP file under "Release and Content Debugger archives" of the last known good-working version (for me it was 13.0.0.214, released 5/13/2014).
This ZIP file contains 2 different versions for IE, Firefox, and Mac; one folder contains the normal versions, which didn't work for me....I kept getting the same error messages and had to keep using the Uninstaller, then restart computer, etc...
BUT, in the "Debug" folder, with the debug versions of FP, I first installed the IE version (typically named "flash_player_ax_debug.exe" or something similar with the ax designator), this installed just fine and now everything works again! I then updated Firefox with the other debug version, and everything works fine again.
I don't know if this will work for any other problems, but it worked great for me after having similar issues as the OP. Hope this helps.

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

How to get flash player on my ipad 3 ?

How to get Flash Player on my IPAD 3 ?

You don't. APple and Adobe don't play well together. Adobe never made a version of flash that met apple's requirements, Apple was never happy with what Adobe made so Flash is not natively supported. YOu can look for browsers that support flash, such as Puffin, Skyfire, iSwiffer and others.
There likely won't be much growth in this area since Adobe has ceased all production on mobile flash so it is in essence, dying technology....however as with anything, it'll be a long drawn out death that'll likely take years for it to totally go away.

How to get flash player to stick permanetly

OK seems like FF only i have this huge problem now cannot get flash player to stay after downloading into Fire fox i have to downlod or is it upload it every time to be able to see videos on any website.
I see others complain about crashing n stuff but i get crashes when playing games online like yahho poker games casino games and other games
I really do not want to install Chrome because Google invades privacy every thing i do in chrome can be found by others even if i came acroos a gay porn site while going through others i want to see!
So what's up with fire fox ? ONLY have this issue now it worked fine before with old flash player now cant get it. maybe remove NEW FF install older version for vista hmmmmmmmm think i'll try that !

When you have this problem, can you check the following:
(1) Firefox Add-ons page, either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Is the Shockwave Flash plugins disabled (plugins set to "Never Activate" cluster at the bottom) or completely missing?
(2) Flash DLL folder (32-bit Windows):
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
Is the NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll file still present?
The connection between (1) and (2) is that Firefox scans the Windows registry for plugins installed outside of its own folders, then stores those in a data file named pluginreg.dat, and then displays them on the Add-ons page.
If this has become disconnected, when does it happen: when you exit and restart Firefox? when you shut down and restart Windows? on a schedule, such as overnight?

Flash Player not installing correctly

I tried to install a new copy of Quickbooks today and tells
me it needs Flash Player installed. I had flash Player previously
installed but now appear to be no good. I have tried to uninstall
it and reinstall with no luck. I am running Vista Home Premium on a
new machine with 4 GB memory. I have the full version of Flash CS3
installed.
When I try to uninstall Flash Player, if going under Control
Panels to Programs and Features the icon shown for Flash Player has
an X in the upper right corner of it.
I have had nothing but problems with Vista and CS3 trying to
install and uninstall program and have had it.

Download the uninstaller for Flash Player from "How to
uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet
Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo
Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows
system tray carefully to make certain no applications which might
possibly use Flash Player are still in memory.
Install the new Flash Player from here:
www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
Check to see if Flash Player is installed:

How do I get Flash Player update installed?

When trying to install an update to Flash Player update it tells me it can not install with Mozilla Fire Fox. Also, tells me I have it already but I do not. Also, tells me to uninstall Exlorer, Fire Fox and Adobe before installing. Can you please just tell the 1 -2- 3 of installation of Adobe Flash Player.

I did that a bunch of times. I also deleted it rebooted and installed flash and it still won't work. Some sites I have flash but most don't. I think I would like to go back to the older version. But this problem is only on this M11X with winblows 7 ult. 64. On my other system I have the same but it's only 32b and it works. So how do I get this to work on a 64 system? And if I can't................ Where do I go to go back to the other version?

Mac OS 10.6 Safari 4.0.3. Cannot get Flash Player to install.

Did an archive and reinstall of the OS, then went to download center and downloaded Flash Player (again), but when I try to open a video, continue to get the message that I need to download the latest Flash Player. Called Applecare and they got me this far, don't want to PAY Adobe to figure out how to use a free program that apparently I have no choice in using. Cannot view any video.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

How to get flash player to download and work

I've downloaded flashplayer for my mac 10.5.8 and it doesn't want to install ??????
how do I get it to work

Flash Player 10.3 in the last version that will work with 10.5. Unfortunately, it's from a bygone era (the days of PPC Macs), being it was the LAST Universal Binary OS Mac released, and you'll need Flash Player 11 for most things today.
If your Mac is Intel based, you can upgrade to OS 10.6.8 for $19.99 through Apple, but you'll NEED to do that to upgrade Flash Player (and a lot of other software as well).

This is Vista.
Go to the Inspiron 1525 support page. Find the small blue "Change OS" and click on the arrow. Select Vista.Then download and install these 3 items with a restart between each one.
1. Dell System Software in the System Utilities category.
2. Intel Mobile Chipset in the Chipset category.
3. Sigmatel audio driver in the Audio category.
See if it works any better after you get the Sigmatel driver installed.

How to get Flash Player 10.1 r53 to work with Mac OS X 10.6.4.

I have the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard computer but I can't get videos to play. I've read in Adobe comments that Flash Player 10.1 is not working on 64-bit systems (which is mine). How can I get a version of Flash Player that WILL work on my Mac?? When I try to play a video from youtube.com it says I need to upgrade my Flash Player and to get it from Adobe (which I did but the 10.1 version doesn't work!!! I'd appreciate any help I can get from anyone who can provide a solution. Thank you. Dave McCanna

You will also need to specify what browser and version you are using.
You will also need to give a little bit more info than just "does not work".

How to get Flash player to work?

I've installed all the updates. I've restarted me machine, I've enabled the stupid add on thing, I've turned of the stupid active X filter, and I still can't get any web based flash stuff to work. "install the latest update", ok, happy to do that, but I go to the update page "you have the latest edition"
So what now? I'm not a fricken computer tech, nor do I want to be, I just want the darn thing to work.
I didn't particularly want to sign up for membership either, can't I just get someone to fix the problem without all the rigmarole?
edit: Now I'm getting an download windoe for Flash Player 13.0 Installer, which downloads gets to "verifying", then "The Installation encountered errors: Your microsoft internet explorer includes the latest version of Adobe Flash player built in. Windows Update will inform you blah-blah-blah..."
If it's built in THEN WHY THE **** ISN'T IT WORKING??!

You're using Internet Exploder 11. Here's the problem in three words:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser (Read more here).
User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video.
Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome).
Trouble is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11.
YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play.
Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE...
The Problem with THAT is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that, because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
