I can't download Adobe Flashplayer

I cannot download the new version of Adobe Flashplayer to my iMac (using 10.6.8, Snow Leopard). Therefore I have little access to video.
When the Blocked Plug-in message comes up, I follow prompts to download the new version from Adobe website.  At step 1 it appears to download. But step 2 is blank, also step 3, and I cannot find the download anywhere in my mac.
Clearly others have had the same problem, as I found some sites with supposed fixes:
I followed one suggestion to download not from Adobe, but from Applestore.  It is not listed in Applestore.
I followed another suggestion to uninstall the old version of Flashplayer, and did so successfully, but the new one still does not download.
I believe one other suggestion is to get free upgrade to Mavericks, which I do not ant to do as it will screw up my iPhoto
I tried calling local store that sell Apple, but the good independent one has gone out of business, and there are no live people available by phone at the others.
Help!

Thanks a lot, Kilted Tim.
Finally, a clear answer! 
It infuriates me that a computer I don't consider old at all, and does everything else I want it to (except, since this fall, play what needs Flashplayer) is  considered obsolete.   And that Apple or Adobe does not come up with a fix for this problem.
It was one of the employees at the old, lamented, independent AppleStore that advised me, when I asked about Mavericks... that the real advantage was greater connectivity with all my touchscreen devices (I have none) and warned me about  the iPhoto problem.     Perhaps I mistakenly thought that  also applied to Yosemite...  it's only Mavericks that Apple keeps trying to seduce me to.
It's good to hear you have  had no problems with iPhoto.
I of course back things up regularly--  but if the new system, say, Mavericks, can't read the old iPhoto, then I'm not sure  how backups would help my problem with access to thousands of photos....
Perhaps I could upgrade just to Lion and get back on Flashplayer?
Anyway, I'll start checking  out necessary upgrades.

    How can i download Adobe flashplayer for my IPad 2

    Adobe never produced a version of flash for ios.
    Adobe has killed mobile flash for all devices.
    You can play flash content with various levels of success by downloading an alternate browser which users servers to convert the flash to ios compatible formats
    Skyfire, puffin, iswifter, photon are a few you can look at.

  • Can't download Adobe Flashplayer

    I have a Sanyo Incognito Boost Mobile phone.  I have been trying to download Adobe Flashplayer so that I can watch videos and play games on Facebook.  I do not own a computer, just my mobile phone.  Does anyone know how I can make this happen?  Someone help please!!

    Flash Player requires a CPU with support for the ARMv7-A instruction set to achieve the level of performance required for acceptable multimedia playback.
    Your device has an ARM11 CPU, which only supports the ARMv6 instruction set.
    For future reference, Adobe maintains a list of devices certified to work with Adobe Flash Player and AIR here:
    http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/
    You might want to give Skyfire a try.  It uses "remote desktop" technology to render Flash animation and video in the cloud, for devices that are incapable of processing Flash content natively:

  • What do I use seeing I can not download adobe flashplayer

    I am trying to watch a tv rerun I am in Australia and it will not let me watch it on my iPad. I understand I can not download adobe flash player, so what program do I use

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash content from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Hi,how can I download Adobe Flashplayer on my IPad 3 ? Thank for help.

    I want see Videoclips from SKY on my IPad3, but I need Adobe Flashplayer to see it, how can I download on my IPad3 ?

    As has been said here many, many times, Flash is not available for the iPad. Look to other threads under More Like This at the right (or search this forum for "flash") for possible alternatives.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • How can I ENABLE  ''Add-ons'' ??? I can't download Adobe because of this!!!!

    Hi,
    Can somebody HELP ME with the ''ADD-ONS''!!!!
    It says : '' Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled'' !!!!!! 
    And, because of this, I can't Download Adobe FlashPlayer   !!!!
    So, can somebody HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM   PLEASE !!!!!!!!
    Thank you very much !!!

    Yeah I get that too...It's a bug that started after installing Internet Explorer 8 in Windows XP Professional Edition 32 bit with only Service Pack 2. This results in inability to install Adobe Flash Player. When you click on install Adobe Flash Player, instead of saying the usual "Install ActiveX Control" in the yellow bar at the top it says "Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled." I'm thinking maybe install SP3? It's kicking into addons disabled mode when I start the browser. It's almost definitely because of an error with something called Direct Access Component 1.0.0.1, I have no idea what that is and it tells me I need to run a diagnostic on it. However, when I click on run the diagnostic like it tells me to, it says I must upgrade to SP3. Anyone know how to fix this Access Component error?

    I downloaded adobe flashplayer as i coulnt access video content on Facebook. now all the videos i watch jerk around. what have i done wrong and how can i fix it? I tried deleted the program to trash then emptyied trash but its still happening

    Try emptying your browser cache more often. If you are using Safari, from the menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
    Try a video on FB. If can't stream Flash content, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    If that doesn't help, try deleing Flash cookies >  Flush.app – Flash Cookie Removal Tool For OS X | MacHacks.TV

  • How can I download adobe flash for my 2006 imac OS 10.4.11? Lost it recently and repeated attempts manage to download but it then does not work.

    How can I download adobe flash for an imac intel using 10.4.11? This disappeared recently and although I go to adobe and download successfully, when I try to access video on web it says I need to download adobe. Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    Looking at Adobe's site there is version 10.3 for Intel Macs running OSX 10.4 or 10.5.  There is version 11 for Macs running OSX 10.6 or newer.  Most web sites don't really need the newest FlashPlayer, but if you are trying to view one that really does intensive video then maybe it does require Flash 11.  You aren't very specific as to which exact error message you are seeing.
    If a site does require FlashPlayer 11 then you will have to upgrade your operating system.
