    I have a problem with adobe flash player.
    It is install but not running

    Try a fresh install of Flash after completely uninstalling it using the application Adobe Flash Player Install Manager, in the Utilities folder. Then re-download and install from ww.adobe.com
    If you are still having problems you could try installing Google Chrome as it has its own version of Flash built-in and doesn't require the separate installation of Flash.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

    Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

    Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
    I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
    When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
    If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
    I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
    If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
    Their player, plays the video without a problem!

  • Problems installing Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.

    Can not get my MacBook Pro 17" to install Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.  Our iMac installed it.
    The system hangs forever looking for resources

    Hopefully, you'll be installing the 14.0.0.145 Flash update very soon - however the same problem you experienced persists with that.
    Fortunately there is a simple solution.
    There appears to be a problem with Adobe Flash Player Install Manager - the simple answer is to let the system install the flash update instead:
    When you use the Flash updater, it downloads a disk image to a temp folder (inside /private/var/folders but you don't need to know that). This is automatically mounted (briefly) while the app 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' launches. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager is supposed to manage the whole instillation but in some case it gets stuck. If this process fails for you (such as hanging on 95% completion), there is a very simple route forward which doesn't require you to open your browser or manually download anything.
    It only requires 3 steps and you can be 100% sure you are getting the correct update - the one Adobe tried to install but failed. I've broken these down into detailed but very simple substeps (further down this post) for anybody who is unsure, but experienced users can probably just follow these three steps:
    Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
    Hope this helps. Enjoy.
    Those steps in detail (as carried out in OSX 10.6.8).
    1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
    Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
    Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
    2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
    On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
    At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
    Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
    Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
    This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
    The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
    3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
    You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
    Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
    This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
    Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player.pkg)
    This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
    Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
    Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
    Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
    Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
    Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X  - I use 10.6.8

  • Having problem installing adobe flash player 11.0.1.152 says close mozilla how do you do this

    I have tried several times to install Adobe flash player 11.0.1.152. It keeps stating to shut off Mozilla. How do you shut Mozilla off?

    "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" placing you into the Windows Task Manager, you need to be in the in the "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu. (That is a Windows 7 keyboard shortcut not in earlier versions of Windows)
    There is a better way of ending Firefox, but it is too late for you to close firefox properly. Full set of directions to check and update flash.
    Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash

    If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
    * http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and check that it finished via Windows 7 shortcut to WTM "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" in the "Processes" tab make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
    #proceed with the install
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for other installed plugins at

    Some people will have a problem with Hardware acceleration, right-click in the flash area, click in settings..., then see if change setting makes a difference.

  • Problems installing adobe flash player to use with picnick editing on picasa

    I want to edit a photo on Picasa.com.  To do that, I must install Adobe Flash Player.  The flash player has downloaded but does not appear to be installing though I receive a successful installation message.  When Picnick did not open, I was directed to a help page but none of the tips made sense to me.  Has anybody else with my operating system had and difficulties and then solved them???

    Never mind.  It seems to be working now.  I think I just needed to unblock pop-ups.

  • Problems instaling adobe flash player 11

    I have been trying to down load adobe flash player 11    ( i have windows internet explore 9  and 32 bit   windows Vista )    and it almost downloads but when it gets right down to the very end  it tells me i already have the most current adobe flash player downloaded?  BUT..... i do not have it downloaded no where on my pc?  ive looked in my programs and it is no where?     so therefor adobe flashplayer will NOT download. 
    if anyone has any sugestions id appreciated it! 
    Thanks

    It's not a separate program. It doesn't have an icon or an entry in the start menu. It adds itself to your browser. But you should see 'Flash Player' in your Control Panel.
    The Flash Player has nothing to do with Acrobat - this is an Acrobat forum. If you have any more questions I'd recommend looking for the Flash forum.

  • Should I install Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Air?

    Hello everyone
    I was wondering if I should install Adobe Flash Player.
    I watch YouTube a lot and use Safari 7.0.5 as my web browser of choice.
    I don't usually play many online games though.
    However, there are some sites I use that require Adobe Flash Player.
    Thanks for all the recommendations
    Model Name: MacBook Air
    Model Identifier: MacBookAir6,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core i5
    Processor Speed: 1.3 GHz
    Number of Processors: 1
    Total Number of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 8 GB
    Boot ROM Version: MBA61.0099.B12
    SMC Version (system): 2.12f137

    Display: 11.6 inch

    personally NO, unless you are using something that demands it.
    aside the spat between adobe and apple, it does grind and hog the processor to death - hence why apple decided not to 'support' it.
    -just take a look in activity monitor once it starts up.
    It (can) also leave vunerabliites to virus 'type' infections;
    IF you do indeed decide to load it up, be VERY carefull where you get it from, and ignore ANY POP UP message about updates etc -
    *ALWAYS* ONLY go Direct to the adobe flash site, never, never any other 3rd party site. both for install and updates.

  • Does anyone have problems installing Adobe Flash Player on their iMac?

    I download the proper Version of Adobe Flash Player.  I double click and it says it was installed.  But it really isn't.  I also have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no go.  Can anyone help me?

    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://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    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.

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on my Computer

    Last week I installed Webroot Antivirus and Spy Sweeper on my computer and since then I cannot load my pictures on Facebook or send them to CVS or Walgreens to develop them. I have tried many times to load Adobe Flash Player, followed all instructions and nothing.  I am totally frustrated. I waited over an hour on the phone for an Adobe technician and all he could do was direct me to this forum. I have a Dell  computer, 32 system. I normally use Windows Explorer as my browser. Can somebody out there help me please?

    This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player.  I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
    Well, bottom line is number
    1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
    Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
    By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
    One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
    By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
    To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there.  I can only compare it to Vista.
    Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what?  I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
    I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
    I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.
