I am told I need to update my Adobe Flash. I am unable to update it via the directed web site.

I have go to (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) update my adobe flash. When I click on the link that says download now, nothing happens.
How can I correct this?
Thank you,
Mark

I always use the method(s) and links below to update. On the main Adobe Flashplayer page (the one you cited),
*Adobe will now download another browser if you do not un-check the box on the first page
*Adobe also downloaded, in the past, the troublesome getplus extension (an updater for Flash) on the page you cited
*May install Adobe Air along with Flash, which is not widely used at this point, except on mobile devices.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:

  • Since updating my adobe flash player I am having trouble with gmail, google, hotmail, etc.

    Since updating my adobe flash player a couple of days ago some of my web pates are acting strangely. One that is not a big deal, but is strange is that my the google logo is missing from the main google search page. Another is that I cannot login to hotmail at all. I just get a blank screen. When I check my gmail account I can only use the basic html page. When I go to the adobe flash test page it says that everything is working fine. I have the latest firefox. Is there a web page where I can go to check my current firefox to make sure it's working?

  • I'm getting a message to install an update to Adobe Flash player.

    I've heard that a virus can infect Macs using a phony update to Adobe Flash Player.  Right now I am getting a warning to install an update to Adobe Flash player, but my Software Update check indicates no current updates for Safari.  Yet my Safari is telling me that I need to update and it's blocking any Flash clips from use.  Can this be on the level?

    For both posters, this is the central Adobe link to the latest Flash Player installer:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Download and run the installer. Will need to quit all browsers while doing so. No need to "uninstall", the installer will get rid of the old code automatically. As of this writing (25 Aug 2012, 1200 CDT), the current Flash version for Intel Macs is 11.4.402.265
    Afterwards, you can test your functioning Flash installation by visiting:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If the cube bounces about, Flash is OK. And lastly, you can configure a bunch of Flash Player settings here:

  • I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x?  If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1.  Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1.  5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format.  Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents.  Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • Need to install an update for Adobe Flash Player, Help?

    How do I install an update for an Adobe Flash Player on my Mac Mini?

    Installing the Flash Update on your Mac
    This is what I had to do to install it; I'm using OS X 10.9 Mavericks; you may get different results if you're still using Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion (earlier OSs)
    I encourage you to do backup your system, download and install the Free, most current operating system for Macs, Mavericks OS X 9.
    At some point, Adobe Flash will offer you the opportunity to update itself. It's a good idea, to do so.
    Step 1 will be to download the Update .dmg file, which installs the update.
    It will probably be in your Downloads folder; double click on it.
    When the folder presents itself in a new Finder window, double-click on it.
    At some point in the Install, it will pop up a notice to Shut Down Safari/Opera/Chrome/Firefox (all Browsers).  That's easy.
    It will also likely insist that you shut down a Dashboard Client.  Only the Dashboard Client won't show when you try Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
    Here's what I had to do, to make it work; there may be a more efficient way, but I didn't find it.
    Here's what worked for me, and I'm going to spell it all out the Dummy way, 'cause that's how I need things done for me! : )
    Click on an empty space on the Desktop to activate Finder. In the Finder Menu (top) click on the GO tab (top menu) and scroll down to Utilities. Click on the Activity Monitor. In the CPU tab (any of them will work), Click onDock and, holding the Command button (Splat) next to the Space Bar, click on all incidents of Dashboard Client.  They're easy to find-- they all have a little grey folder icon to the left of them.
    Click on VIEW in the top menu, scroll down to Select Processes, and click on that. The window will simplify and isolate, showing only the selected processes that are keeping you from installing the Flash update.
    Then click on the big red stop sign at the top (Quit Process).... (This didn't work for me. No 'Stop' sign.)
    Alternately, once you've 'collected' the appropriate files, click on and select each one individually, go up to View in the top menu, scroll down to Quit Process. After a brief pause, it will quit. Quit all of the processes selected.
    Make sure everything else is closed and then try to install the Flash Player again. It should work! (Fingers crossed!)
    'Always a good idea to Reboot, afterwards, and you should be good to go.

    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!):

    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.

    I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help.  I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I have contacted redplum and no one will help.

    No Apple response???  Redplum/Valassis will not help either.  I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum.  What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help.  I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
    Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
    As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
    - altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
    - copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
    ..everything started working.
    It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
    Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
    socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
    I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.      
    Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
    Posted on November 25, 2008
    Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
    sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
    If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
    [Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
    PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
    System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
    If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
    Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
    Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
    Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
    If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
    Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

  • How do I close Mozilla Firefox in order to instal an update of Adobe Flash Player?

    I installed FF very recently at the recommendation of Blue Mountain.com as I was unable to send their e-cards with messages. Now I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player and cannot do so because of the message 'close Moxilla Firefox to continue'. I've tried but have not been successful. Can you please help me? Thank you.

    To close Firefox, in the menus select "File > Exit", you can start Firefox by using the same shortcut that you used to open Firefox originally.
    I would ignore the instructions from Adobe. Adobe uses its own download manager but it is not required. All you need to do to install Adobe Flash is download the Adobe Flash manual installer and run it. For details on doing that see the Adobe troubleshooting article - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

  • Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

    Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
    It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
    Download it from Adobe."
    So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
    But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
    Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
