I can't install Adobe, it keeps on saying "Please close Safari to continue installation", at first it was open, then I closed it, reinstalled but same problem. What should I do?

I cannot install Adobe, it keeps on saying close Safari when it is closed.

Close Safari by using the Quit form the menu: try again. If flashplayer does not install after that, it will not download and proceed, it "hangs". You can download the real installer directly and it will install easily:
go to     http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
then coose at the left your OS etc, and download flashplayer directly, you can the delete the 'installer installer'.

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

    Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

    Did you Quit Safari, or did you just close the window?
    Or, is another user logged in that has Safari open?

  • Can't install Adobe Flash player ERROR. Please help

    I tried to download the update of Adobe Flash Player BUT every time I try to download it... Look at the screen shot. ERROR.
    Please help me I am really happy if someone here can help me.

    Hello,
    The log file indicates there are permissions issues on a couple of files and they are not being removed.  This is preventing the installation of the new version.  Please run the uninstaller, posted here Uninstall Flash Player | Windows, and post an updated FlashInstall.log file, and a screenshot of the files remaining in the /Macromed/Flash directory after running the uninstaller.  Please only run the uninstaller and do not attempt to re-install at this time.
    Thank you.

  • Installed Photoshop Elements 10 on new computer and clone tool smears dark spots around photos. Spot healing brush smears dark colors around. Lighten and contrast work ok. Have deleted program and reinstalled but same problems.

    Anybody have suggestions as I am stumped?

    On the clone tool's option bar, top left, click on the little triangle. Since you are having a problem with two tools, suggest that you reset all tools. Let us know whether or not this resolves the issue.

  • I just got my first mac pro and I can't get the photos out of iPhotos moved on my hp external hard drive, I try export says unable, then I try to drag it from the desktop to the external hard drive but same problem. Thank you so much

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

    I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.

  • Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    first thing to try is reset InDesign:
    delete the preference file located here:
    system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
    then repair the hard drive:
    shut down the Mac
    restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
    keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
    let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
    when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • Browser out of date and can't install Adobe Flash Player

    My browser is out of date according to everything I am visiting.  I can't post pictures on twitter, some of the videos I watch have blocked plug-ins, and I can't install adobe flash player.  My computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.4, and I would like to keep Safari.  Can someone direct me to where I get the newest version of Safari and why I cannot install Adobe Flash Player.  I have installed, uninstalled, and done everything I know to do to get this problem resolved.  Next step is take it to the Apple store as I am not a tech person.  Thanks for any assistance.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Upgrade further:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac from CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 onto my iMac I just purchased. The software is brand new, the CD appears to read fine. The instillation "on-screen" instructions are not popping up. I have had the software a minute, purchased it new but was waiting till I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How are you using a CD with a new imac? They haven't had disc drives in years.
    Try downloading from here and use the serial number from your boxed version:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    However, there are a couple of other things to try. First of all, PSE 9 has both mac and windows discs. If the disc doesn't mount on the desktop, then you've got the wrong one. Go get the other one and when it appears on the desktop, double click it.  Then double click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double click Install/Setup (can't remember which it was for PSE 9, sorry). There is no automatic install for PSE for mac, since macs have no autoplay function for security reasons, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You just keep double clicking till it installs.
