  • I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

    I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air.  I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software.  It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error.  Please help!
    MAC OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1
    Firefox 26.0
    Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac.  Worked perfectly.
    MAC OS 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1.10
    Firefox 26.0
    It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

    "Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
    The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
    If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory.  And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
    That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
    Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
    YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
    If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
    If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
    You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
    Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
    Check the box and you have to restart Finder
    Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
    Select "Open"
    Open your TIme Machine
    Go back to September 28 or earlier.
    You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
    (I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
    Right click it and select "Restore to"
    Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
    It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
    DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
    IF you don't have the Time Machine...
    WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
    Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
    You should see the mach_kernel file there.
    You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
    Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
    THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

  • How do I get Flash Player to download to my compute?

    I have Windows XP and I can't seem to get Flash Player to download to my system. I can only get to the point that the systems tells me what I need to do, then it doesn't give me the options that is indicated. Can anyone help?

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

  • I Cannot Get Flash Player to Work Properly

    The Basics :
    Im Running Windows XP Home Edition Service pack 3
    I have IE7  (I had IE8 But was told that this was the problem so I went back to IE7)
    Problem:
    Everything worked fine until a couple days ago, then it told me to do a flash player update and that is where everything went to hell in a handbasket.
    I can no longer access sites that require activex (IE: Farmville, Cafe World, and other apps on facebook). As I previously stated everything worked fine until I did the update. When I dl and install the Flash Player again I reboot and then go back to facebook and try to view the pages again but all i get is the message its not installed and at first I would just click the click here link and try to reinstall. Now I dont do anything but exit the page, uninstall and try again. I really don't know what else to do.
    What I have Done:
    I have uninstalled Flash Player, reinstalled it at least 10 times. I have tried the forced removal, as per many instructions here. I did NOT dl the Beta 10.1.
    I have removed IE8 and reinstalled IE7.
    Please can someone help me get out of this stupid loop. Im getting so frustrated.
    Thanks

    With "forced" removal, do you mean using the -force option?  This is only for the 10.1 beta removal; it has no effect on the uninstall of the released version.
    To uninstall the released Flash Player version, download the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk.
    Next, download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk.
    Now close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller.  If you want to make sure that everything related to Flash Player is removed, run it with the /clean option.
    Now reboot Windows, then run the downloaded installer.

  • I cannot get flash player to work since downloading windows 8.1

    Am I missing something??

    You're not missing anything. Windows 8.1 installs IE11 by default, and that's the problem. It's not recognized by thousands of pages on hundreds of sites all over the web. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Mac OS 10.6  Safari 4.0.3.  Cannot get Flash Player to install.

    Did an archive and reinstall of the OS, then went to download center and downloaded Flash Player (again), but when I try to open a video, continue to get the message that I need to download the latest Flash Player. Called Applecare and they got me this far, don't want to PAY Adobe to figure out how to use a free program that apparently I have no choice in using. Cannot view any video.

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

  • Cannot get Flash Player Installer to work.

    I have tried many times over to install Flash Player but when the Installer pops up, it never begins the install process. It just sits there. One thing I was able to do was create a new admin user account and tried installing it on that account and it worked just fine. But I cannot get it to install on my main account. I'm using Windows 7 Pro. Have tried shutting down AVG and Firewall when running installer and nothing seems to help. Suggestions?

  • How do I get Flash Player to download?

    I have been trying for almost 24 hours (various times) to get this to download. Each time I click download, it only goes to 25% and then completely stops. I let it sit overnight to give it some time to download and it still didn't budge. I have a Mac OS X system and I'm using Safari. I looked at all of the links recommended by the Adobe website and the problem has not been solved. What do I do?

  • How to get flash player to download and work

    I've downloaded flashplayer for my mac 10.5.8 and it doesn't want to install ??????
    how do I get it to work

    Flash Player 10.3 in the last version that will work with 10.5. Unfortunately, it's from a bygone era (the days of PPC Macs), being it was the LAST Universal Binary OS Mac released, and you'll need Flash Player 11 for most things today.
    If your Mac is Intel based, you can upgrade to OS 10.6.8 for $19.99 through Apple, but you'll NEED to do that to upgrade Flash Player (and a lot of other software as well).
