Hi all,
I've never typed on one of these discussions before so here go.
I just want to say that I think that I'm having this same problem as well.
I've run the adobe flash player uninstaller and extra files as per instructed
on:  helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_10_4
Hope I typed that all correct.
I'v tried just using safari to run almost all (but not all) youtube videos and it indicates "A missing plug-in" with and arrow behind it and than it says
"The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback."
"Get the latest Flash Player"(underlined)
If I click on "Get the latest Flash Player"(underlined) it it takes me to:  get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The version is 11.9.900.117, so i select "Install Now" button as step 1 of 3 and then it starts to initialize on
step 2 of 3, the windo flashes between dark/static screen and the step 2 of 3 screen, the window than goes blank (dark/static) or it goes to the previous "Install Now" step 1 of 3 page
and the flash player is not installed as indicated by:http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
I think I actually installed it once(something was installed), but I have since then uninstalled and not been able to repeat this. During this time youtube was tempermentally playing most youtube videos but then stopped playing them.
I'm using a late 2010 macbook pro and I have adobe CS5, Elmedia Player, Folx 1 and 3(I think). These programs were all purchased through apple and they are all up-to-date. This mac was recently purchased privately, wiped, and OS reinstalled and then updated form Leopard to Mavericks.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

    Can some one help me with my question? I have been trying to download it for 2 days. My kids can not even get on our world.

  • I am unable to upgrade Firefox. I have tried to download over mine and nothing happens. What to do?

    I only use Firefox and it constantly pops up that I need to download the newer version. When I click on yes, it just sits, even for hours, with the green bar, nothing happening. I turn off the computer, after many hours, boot up again, still no upgrade. I have tried so many times. I have tried several times to start all over and download the Firefox 4 over my version of Firefox, it shows that it is downloading, and when I turn on my my computer again, I get the same pop up message that I need to really need to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (or whatever it is), so it is not working. What do I do now? I am not a computer genius.

    I can't be any help, just wanted to chime in and say I'm experiencing the exact same issue with an iPad 3.
    It *****, sorry.  I've been going at it for 8+ hours trying to get the issue resolved.

    i tried downloading adobe flash but it prompts for a password. none of the passwords i have (including that which i use with apple) works. any suggestions?

    You are prompted for a password before installing Flash? If so, this is your Mac's admin password, which doesn't have anything to do with your Apple ID unless you chose to use the same password for your computer admin login account as is used for your Apple ID.

  • I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

    A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

    The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.
    Instead:
    # Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    # Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    # Close Firefox
    # Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash
    # Run install_flash_player.exe to install Flash.

    I'm using PC with Windows 8.1. I got onto the Creative Cloud and downloaded "Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging (2014)". <--- That would be the file. I can't open or run it from CC and I couldn't find a file in my computer either.
    I've also found direct downloads for the trial version and hit the set-up button, it loads up, and then nothing happens.

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • HT1338 I download Adobe Flash but it doesn't install. Each time I encounter something that needs Adobe Flash it tells me I don't have it. I am getting tired downloading it and then it isn't there.

    install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-1.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-2.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-3.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-4.dmg
    etc to -9
    Those are the ones you downloaded. Ten times, apparently. Since install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg already existed, the next download was appended with -1. The next -2, etc. They'll all be identical, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Though I'd go with the last one as it may be a slightly updated version from the first download, depending on how long ago you did the first one.
    A .dmg file is a Disk Image. When you double click them, they open up a pseudo drive on the desktop. When you open one of these ten items, the Flash installer will appear in a file window. Run it to install Flash. Then close the file window (displaying from the psuedo drive) and then put the "drive" in the trash to dismount it. You can then delete all of those.
    Looks like you also downloaded the Adobe Reader twice. Versions 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. Also Skype, whatever the Thomson thing is, and an unnecessary Flash uninstaller (the Flash installer will put an uninstaller in the Utilities folder).

  • Trying to download Adobe Flash 11 but halfway through installation asked to close Firefox?

    Trying to download Adobe Flash Player 11. Halfway through installation message says close Firefox. How can I do this as Firefox is my web browser.

    Terminate Firefox from the "Processes" tab of the Windows Task Manager not the "Applications" tab. Then select firefox.exc and use the right-click context menu to "End Process" or use the "End Process" button on the selected process.
