Install flash player, but during install told to shut down safari

I am a new mac user, with at desk top using ios 10.9.  Been trying to download Adobe Flash player but during installation it quits and I get a dialogue box telling me to shut down Safari.  I don't have Safari open.......

I figured it out from another thread.  you need to "Quit" Safari before installing.  Yes, its nothing to worry about once you figure it out, but until that time its frustrating for people switching from PC to MAC.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Have you ran the OnyX cache cleaning routine?
    See $12 here
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    Flash has a cache file that remains, it likely corrupted and that's why it might not be working.
    You can manually find this file using the free EasyFind and delete it with all of Flash components and try installing again.

    If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

    The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled".  Did you check if it's enabled:

  • I installed Flash Player but web content not recognizing it.

    I am running FireFox and a web site required Adobe Flash Player to view a video clip.  I downloaded the latest version and installed it, but the website still does not recognizes it.  I'm not sure what to do next.  Help please.
    Thanks!

    I think I am confused.  The web site said I need Adobe Flash Player.  You mention Shockwave and Flash.  I know there is a program called Shockwave Flash, so is the Shockwave and Flash any way associated to Shockwave Flash?  The names are very confusing to me.
    I have Shockwave Flash disabled since the website said I needed Adobe Flash.  I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Flash Player, but it is not coming up in the possible add-ons for Firefox.
    Do I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then activate Shockwave Flash and then reinstall Adobe Flash Player?  Is there a sequence to this?
    Also, how does this Shockwave for Director come into play, since it says it’s for Netscape?
    Thanks for your help making sense of these names!

  • I keep installing flash player but it keeps saying missing plugin

    Flash used to work fine, but now every time I try to watch a flash video I get either a box saying to install Flash or it says missing plugin.  I've downloaded and installed flash player numerous times, but it never works.

    I suspect you'll need to run the uninstaller, then install the newest version.
