HT5655 Why can't I download Flashplayer for my Mac OS X (10.6.8)? I get a message that Adobe can't download it so what now?

Question

So how do I get Flashplayer?

Answer 1

I just now noticed your system version in your topic.  Thank you for providing your other system information. Same should be in your profile so that if you have any other problems, you will not have to repeat yourself or the helpers here keep asking you for it.
If you uninstalled all the older versions of flash player on your computer....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done. 
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
Install flash player, repair permissions again when done and also restart your computer.
If still having issues, you should post in the Adobe forums.
