I can't install flash player because it does not recognise my password -which I already changed and verified. What do I do?

I have already changed my password going to the log in option but when installing it, adobe does not recognize my new password -nor my apple id password when I try to change the password directly from the install dialogue. What do i do? is there any problem with installing it in MacBooks?

Hi paulac45940277,
This is the OS, not Flash Player, prompting for the password.  The password being requested is the one you use to log into your system, not your Adobe ID passwrod.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player? for more information, including links to Apple KB articles if you are having difficulty resetting your password.

  • HT2500 Adding me mobileme account to mail will not work because it does not accept the password but works on iphone and ipad?

    I am attempting to add my mobile me account to mail on my iMac. The first step is to give the email address and the password. For some reason it does not recognize the password. It is the some password used on iphone and ipad and logging on to me.com

    Hello,
    The problem isn't really the Password, but the default Servers if you choose MobileMe for account type.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • How to download flash player when computer does not have a password?

    I am trying to update flash player on my Mac. I do not have a password for this computer. I have done updates before, and just ignored the box where it asks for password. Now, when I ignore this box, I can't go forward. What can I do?

    If you have set a blank Administrator password, then the install should go forward with the blank password.
    If not, then I would assume it to be a problem with your operating system.  Contact Apple.

  • Getting message: Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server

    Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server...what does this mean? I'm trying to install windows 8.1 on my early 2009 iMac. I double check with telephone support to make sure I am able.

    Assuming you are referring to the Windows Support software, normally it means the download server is busy or off line. If you know what version of the support software you need you can get it here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/
    But in your case since you have an early 2009 iMac, your computer does not support Windows 8.1. See this table from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

  • I can't install Flash Player on Mac, because of Dashboard Client

    I can't install Flash Player on my Macbook Pro OS X Mountain Lion, because of error it keep showing me, that my Dashboard Client is running and i need to close it.

    Unfortunately, going through all the widgets, closing them, quitting the dashboard, installing Adobe whatever, then reinstalling all the widgets is a complete PITA.
    There is a widget called Dashquit 3.0 which is supposed to turn dashboard off. When I tried it with 10.9.3, It quit dashboard, but dashboard started back up immediately, preventing the Adobe install. I then looked at other answers which recommended turning the dashboard process off using Activity Monitor. Same results - using either Quit or Force Quit, dashboard stopped for a millisecond then restarted.
    The thing that finally worked for me after all of this was to restart the computer. I shut down Safari before restarting so that it would not appear immediately on restart. As soon as I was able to after the restart, I opened the Adobe .dmg file and started the install process. It finally installed without any further intervention.
    Adobe, it sure would be nice if your installer-writers were to ignore the Dashboard Client since it doesn't use Flash as far as I know, and it would be even more convenient if the installer shut down Safari or Chrome or Firefox or other browsers automatically with permission from the user. It sure would make things a lot easier. Other installers do this routinely, so why can't you?

  • How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • Can't install flash player

    I can't install Adobe flash player because I don't know the password.  I changed my apple password, but that didn't work.  Now all I get is a blocked plug-in sign.

    You will definitely need your Mac account's username and password when installing.  This apple doc should help you reset or change your password.

  • Can't install Flash Player upgrade

    Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script".  Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor".  Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
    What do I do?

    Hello,
    I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce.   Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
    Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
    Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
    When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
    It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
    Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
    If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
    Click Enter to proceed
    A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
    Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
    Thank you in advance.

    Help me, please¡¡¡

    Hello,
    We apologize for the installation issues you are encountering.  Unfortunately, we have not been able to reproduce these installation issues using the online installer.  The offline installer Pat provided a link should work fine.  If you'd like to help us troubleshoot the installation issues with the online installer, and are comfortable working in the Terminal app we'd appreciate it if you could provide us with the install log file for the online installer.  If so, please do the following:
    Download the installer  from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
    Mount the DMG (double-click the file) and copy the .app file to a local folder (e.g. desktop)
    Open LaunchPad and in the top search window type Terminal, click the app icon to open the Terminal application
    In Terminal, change directories to where the .app is saved to (step 2), type: cd <location to file in step 2>
    e.g. If the extracted .app file is on the desktop, type: cd /Users/labuser/Desktop
    At the prompt, type: ./Install\Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\Adobe\ Flash\ Player -debug - file
    Go back to back to the location where the .app is saved to (step 2)
    Right-click on the app and select Show Package Contents
    In the window that displays, navigate to Contents/MacOS
    Obtain the host.develop.log file.
    Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
    Thank you in advance.

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!
