How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player.  This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com.  A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one.  And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference.  I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success. 
I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient.  But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers.  Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am?  If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player?  Thank you in advance for your information.

  • Unable to install and uninstall Adobe Flash Player

    Hi,
    i hope there is someone here that can help me. i've recently upgraded to 10.4.11. There was a problem with safari, which i learned was related to Adobe Flash player. part of the fix is to uninstall the flash player. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it. I noticed the progress bar didn't even move, it stayed at 0 for over 15 mins. I had to force quite the application.
    I then tried running just the adobe flash installer. Similar problem.
    the uninstaller and installers that were downloaded are both made for PowerPC macs.
    Is there something wrong with my mac? someone please help me. i can't watch youtube or go to any flash heavy sites.

  • How do I download and run Adobe Flash Player?

    I can'd get my Adobe Flash Player to download or run because of the add ons not responding. Help?!

    What is your operating system, version & edition?
    What is your web browser?
    Can you give any additional details; what means "add ons not responding"?

  • I need further instruction on how to install and use adobe flash.

    I'm using Ubuntu, I think version 11.2, I think it's a form of linux.. Maybe 64 bit? I have no flashplayers that I know of, I've never installed any before. I use firefox only.
    On the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html "Flashplayer in 3 Seps" The box below step 1 is empty.
    When I proceed with step 2, I remain totally clueless as to which version I should pick, so I picked .rpm for other lunux, clicked download, and a window opens asking me to either "open with" Archive Manager, or "Save File."
    I have absolutely no idea which to proceed with. I've tried both and nothing has happend. The file shows up as a package in my downloads, which I open and nothing but a folder with a "." appears...
    I appologise, but I'm not computer savvy at ALL, and everywhere I go, it seems unless I use Windows or MAC, I'm supposed to know what I'm doing, and I haven't got a clue.

    I tried downloading the 64 bit ubuntu, but the window that comes up asks me to choose and application with which to open it. When I check the "Installation Instructions" on http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/readme-flash-player-linux.html I simply don't understand the first two steps...  "Unpack the plugin tar.gz and copy the files to the appropriate location."  I don't know where the appropriate location would be, I just.. don't get it. I don't even know how to "unpack" a file... I'm really sorry, I appreciate your help, but I'm so clueless to all of this. I don't know where to begin.

  • Unable either to install or use Adobe flash player v10+

    I have tried numerous times to install the newest version of Flash player and can't do it. I have tried all suggestions listed by adobe and here in the forum,. have even turn off my Norton antiviruse, tired the manual install which won't do; it says I have a newer version. So in all respects it seems  I am stuck.
    But on the other hand am able to use it when I use Google chrome? also I can not see it listed in my programs listings.
    I have Windows 7, 32bit; just upgraded to IE-9 which has been causing me some problems but I can't go back to the older version.
    My computer is only about1-1/2yr old. has 4mgs of ram.
    SO can anyone help.  Thanks.

    Hi, Just to go over a couple of things that you posted here, before you had to edit.
    I think if you had not used the Administrator Account, you would have received an error message from Adobe.
    Perhaps an Uninstall/Install is in order now, rather than trying to determine what went wrong.
    Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then Download the Flash Player Installer for IE and SAVE it to your Desktop. Use the EXE Installer
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Then Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    Disable Norton, and Disable any instant messenger services such as Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc. from the system tray(area near the clock)
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) the computer.
    Now check and make sure Norton is still Disabled.
    Then Run the Installer for IE, when finished, Reboot the computer.
    Now reenable what you Disabled. Then use the test site and see if you can see the Flash Player logo animate.

    Let me know if you have any questions on this.

    Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
    I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
    I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

    well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.
    Bye

  • How can I use adobe flash player on iPad2

    How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.
    This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.  Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.

  • The version of "Adobe Flash Player" on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using "Adobe Flash Player", download an updated version from Adobe's website.

    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    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.

  • For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here.  Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
    On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model  it was reading).
    Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard  install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run. 
    Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
    The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
    It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
    Good luck on working this one out.

    Everytime I try and watch a video that is using Adobe Flash Player my computer completely freezes.
    I am running windows 7, firefox 4 v6, and AFP 10.1. I have tried reinstalling AFP and upgrading to the firefox beta. I first experienced this after installing ADP 10.1 and have uninstalled that program until I can resolve this issue.

    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Click Check Now to make sure the currently installed Flash plugin is up to date.

    Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?  If yes, Flash Player is correctly installed and working.
    If not, what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?
