I can't reinstall flash player - why?

Flash player has been working perfectly OK on my Macbook pro. Suddenly several weeks ago, it stopped working. I cannot view programmes sent with emails. So I tried to reinstall, but in vain. At the end of installing flash player it asks for my password. I have been using this mac without password from the beginning. And yet why did it ask for it now? What can I do? Did Adobe change anything? Can anyone help?

O/p sent me a PM, asking what kind of password s/he needs to enter.
It is your Macbook's administrator password that you need to enter. Sorry, I don't know much about Macs, so I cannot give you any further instructions.
But there are other Mac regulars here in the forum; please reply to this topic if you still need help, and someone will give you further instructions.

I can't reinstall Flash player OR uninstall it.

I have a Windows 8 laptop and I use Mozilla Firefox to access the internet. I keep getting a message saying " Adobe Flash Player has crashed". I am unable to send a report for some reason. I updated Flash, thinking that is the problem but I still keep getting the same message. So out of desperation, I tried to uninstall it and was only able to uninstall Flash Reader (when I tried to uninstall Flash Player, I keep getting a message saying that I need to close Mozilla) I close Mozilla and STILL says I need to close it and wont let me update OR uninstall it. I am getting very frustrated. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Before Uninstalling, Can you please ensure no Firefox process is running in the back-end.
1) Open Task Manager
2) Find Firefox Process, and End the Process and Try Uninstalling Flash Player again.
This happens sometimes, you have your application closed yet an instance of the same process keeps running in the back-end but is not visible on the UI.
Hope this Helps.

How do I reinstall Flash Player after accidentally uninstalling it in Windows *?

Accidentally uninstalled Flash Player in Windows 8.
The Adobe site still sees it as on my system.
I tried the update in Internet Explorer and went through the steps on the Adobe site to no avail.

HELP! And thanks.

Thanks, Mike. I saved the info you sent in case I need it later. I did in the meantime find a backdoor and got the plug-in version of Flash Player installed after using Chrome as the browser instead of IE and Flash Player seems to be working fine in either browser.

I have to remove and reinstall Flash Player 11.3 everyday! How can I fix it?

I use Firefox and IE. Everyday I have to remove and reinstall flash player to be able to use it. Every day I receive the message that I don't have F player installed and I have to download it. I check add-ons and I can't find it there but it's installed in program,s and features in my control panel. I'm usin win 7 32-Bit and I always download the latest 11.3 F player. I'm tired of going through the same process everyday! BTW, I delete all my cookies and browsing history every time I want to close my explorers. But it's not new I've always done that but the problem with the lawstest F player is quite recent since the first time I download F player 11.3! Please help me.

Why do I have to reinstall Flash Player on my system everytime I start/restart sys?

I have to reinstall Flash Player (latest ver) everytime I start or restart my system (Win7, x64, IE10). I have followed all the instructions provided by the Adobe community on correctly installing FP, but to no avail. Is there something in my system that deletes FP when I start or restart the system? Help...

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?

Hello,
Flash Player is no longer supported on Android, however, you can install it manually on your own, or use a different browser in your Android device.

Found out last night that i couldnt watch a live stream confetence because i couldnt download the flash player. why does apple not allow to do that and is there an alternative way other than flash player?

found out i couldnt watch a live stream coference because apple wont allow to download adobie flash player. why is this and is there a way around it to be able to catch more of live stream in future.?

In the future, there won't be any Flash. Adobe, who makes it, has cancelled future versions for mobile devices like the iPad:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/
You should check if there is another way to get the live stream. For example, I sometimes watch online classes on a site that uses Flash for the video. But they also provide a non-Flash video stream that can be watched in an iPhone or iPad web browser, and an iOS app that you can also use to watch the stream.

Can't install Flash Player (stupid ActiveX!)

I can't install Flash Player or Macromedia Player on my
computer. The problem came out of nowhere. We seem to have no
viruses. We go to the adobe site to install it, but after we click
the install button, a little message shows up, asking to install
it, and then something about ACTIVEX. I'll go more into detail if
you think you know what the problem is. Help as soon as possible.
Thank you! Lacey

I couldn't resist being the first to reply to your post...
and let me warn you now: You may get a bunch of nasty comments from
others that forgot what it was like to learn the ins-and-outs of
computers....
What you described happening in your post is 100% NORMAL.
After you click that INSTALL button, your Internet Browser (I'm
assuming Internet Explorer) SHOULD ALWAYS confirm that you trust
the person/site/company that is about to install software on your
computer... that "little message" you saw is your confirmation that
you REALLY want this installed.... if so, you will click that
"little message" and then click "Install ActiveX control"
(sometimes this same thing will occur on various websites but
instead you will see a "little message" about an ADD-ON...
generally speaking, its the same thing).
Basically, ActiveX & Add-on's are programs that work with
other programs already installed on your computer; in this case
Adobe Flash Player working with your internet browser.
The whole reason behind the that "little message" is to
prevent websites from installing programs on your computer without
you knowing it.... you don't always have to click an "Install"
button for a website to attempt to send you a program! Makesure
when you see that message you know exactly what your installing and
WHY. There are alot of sites out there that will try to install
ActiveX/Add-on's that jepordize your entire computer (viruses,
spyware, keyloggers, etc.).
So go ahead... click install and then click install
ActiveX... this site can be trusted to install. :)

Could you do the following please.
Click "Start" and then in the search box at the bottom of the menu, type: CMD
When you get the link, right click it and choose "Run As Administrator".
At the prompt, type CD\ and hit Enter. This will take you to the root.
Next, type: net user administrator /active:yes and hit Enter to enable the hidden Administrator account.
Type: EXIT to close the command prompt.
Reboot the machine and you'll see an additional logon option called Administrator. Choose that and then hit Enter to boot to the desktop (the Aministrator account doesn't have a password by default).
Disable your antivirus to prevent it interfering with the installation. If you have AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in systray, go to Avast Shields Control and disable all shields for 1 hour. Otherwise consult this list for instructions on how to disable it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html
Next, download Flash for Internet Explorer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe
When you see the prompt, click "Run" to install it immediately.
After the installation completes, open a command prompt again and type: net user administrator /active:no to disable the Administrator account.
Reboot the machine and then open Internet Explorer.
Click "Tools", then "Manage Add-ons".
In the dropdown menu on the left near the bottom (see screenshot), choose "Run without permission".
Scroll down to "Adobe Systems Incorporated" and verify that "Shockwave Flash Object" is installed and enabled. If it's present, but disabled, click the "Enable" button bottom left of that menu.
Finally, re-enable you antivirus and reboot again. Check the "Manage Add-ons" menu to verify that Flash is still present.
