I am trying to download a flash player but my computer is asking for a tchnical password and I do no

I am trying to download a flashplayer and my computer is asking for the technical password for the computer and I do not know it. How can I work around that?

There IS NO password required to "download" Flash Player, but...
You CANNOT install software without your system administrator password, and that's with ANY software, not just Flash Player or Reader.

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

    A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

    The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.
    Instead:
    # Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    # Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    # Close Firefox
    # Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash
    # Run install_flash_player.exe to install Flash.

  • Trying to download Adobe Flash 11 but halfway through installation asked to close Firefox?

    Trying to download Adobe Flash Player 11. Halfway through installation message says close Firefox. How can I do this as Firefox is my web browser.

    Terminate Firefox from the "Processes" tab of the Windows Task Manager not the "Applications" tab. Then select firefox.exc and use the right-click context menu to "End Process" or use the "End Process" button on the selected process.
    See item #38 Closing Firefox Properly in
    *http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#close_firefox
    The current Firefox is 7.0.1 you can check for update and later update, both from Help > About
    Checking for Flash updates to see if you really are current
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and check that it finished via the Windows Task Manager -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
    #proceed with the install
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
    -- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.

  • I am trying to download abobe flash player but it says i have to close my safari when i already have

    i am having trouble downloading the latest abobe flash player because on the instillation it says i have to close my safari when it already is

    You have to quit Safari.
    Click Safari in the top menu bar and select "Quit Safari" from the drop down.
    Closing the window doesn't make the application  quit. It closes just the window.

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
    You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
    Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed?  Hope so.
    Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
    Thanks,

    I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player and it is asking me to close Mozilla Firefox before it will download. How do I do this?

    Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit or Firefox > Exit.
    Then run the Flash installer with a double lick on that desktop icon.<br />
    You may need to use "Run as Administrator" via the right-click context menu of that file.

    trying to download adobe flash player and i couldn't

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.
