I had dreadful trouble installing Flash Player on to my Mac OS X.  Now I have the same trouble with the update.  I have downloaded it and now it wants a password.  I have tried every password I have ever had and nothing works.  I am an over eighty lady.

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • Trouble Installing Flash Player 10.1 on MAC PowerPC

    I am trying to install the older Flash Player 10.1.6 on a MAC PowerPC Laptop running OS 10.5.8.  Everytime I try to run the installer it crashes at 14% done.  Any ideas?

    First, make sure that you run the installer under an Administrator account.
    If the error persists, you may need to go through the procedure outlined at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

    Try uninstalling flash player using these directions. They
    were posted by BWolfe from Adobe in another msg..
    ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
    a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
    c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
    to reboot, then reboot.
    d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
    flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
    e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
    bits.
    You're done with this part of the problem, go to the Adobe
    home page and see if you can install the latest version of the
    Flash Player.
    e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
    Right click it
    and select properties and look at the version tab.
    What is the version number?
    f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
    f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
    this. If you're not
    comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
    is!
    g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
    g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
    specific name of the control that remains
    in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
    stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
    and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
    like this:
    UninstFl.exe -u
    c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
    That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
    really is necessary to find someone who knows how
    to use the command line, either a friend or a local
    professional. Or spend some time learning about the
    command line yourself.
    h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
    get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
    registry keys associated with it.
    ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
    bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
    maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
    problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.

  • I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

    Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
    The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
    I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
    The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
    My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Macintosh

    I have had repeated trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) despite following every step listed in the Macintosh Installation Help guide: uninstalling previous versions, turning off anti-virus protection, etc. Each time I get a warning message for both Safari and Firefox attempted installations as follows: "Error: General installation error." The only solution seemed to be to reinstall an earlier version: 11.7.700.225.
    Any suggestions?

    http://blueskyworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/04/cant-install-flash-on-os-x -mountain.html
    If you're not comfortable with terminal commands:
    Download the offline installer here (right click and "Save as")
    Quit all browsers
    Go to: MacHD/Library/Internet Plugins... and if the Flash Player.plugin is still there "trash it".
    Then go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and "trash" the Flash Player folder if it's still there.
    Empty the trash.
    Mount the DMG and run the installer
    Relaunch Firefox and it should work

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

  • When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When our iPad is in use on the internet, my iMac internet connection goes off. I can't get the two devices to work at the same time with the AirPort Express. Is there a setting somewhere I may have missed?

    When two or more devices conflict it typically means that the DHCP service is either misconfigured or is not running at all. DHCP provides IP addresses to local network clients.
    Is your AirPort Express base station the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem and not to another router upstream of it?

    Quit iTunes.

    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.

    NOTE: You must quit iTunes when switching users as the library can only be opened by one user at a time.

  • My airport express never connects to the internet only flashes amber  even when it's in the same room with the modem.

    My airport express only flashes amber even when it's in the same room with the modem.
    I want to set it up as a wi-Fi extender.

    Your AirPort Express can only extend a wireless network provided by another Apple router if you want the network connection between them to be wireless.
    What is the make & model of the wireless device that you are trying to extend with your Express?

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?

    Hello,
    I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
    My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
    I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
    "This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
    Can somebody please help??
    Thanks,
    Dake

  • Trouble installing flash player

    I had a problem with
    installing flash player. Every time I went to view a video it asked me to download the latest flash player. I did and the same message kept popping up. I finally went to the forum to look for help and voila! Problem solved. I went into my tools section of the tool bar and clicked on manage add ons. As it turned out my flash player was DISABLED. Once I enabled it, it WORKED!!!
