Install of Flash 10 on Mac OS 10.4.11 not recognized

After sites say I don't have it, have installed Flash Player
10 three times now, and sites still saying not there. Install goes
OK, and plugin can be found in Mac HD>Library>Internet
plugins. I see there's a thread for this in Vista, but not Mac OS.
Anybody know a fix? Thanks.

Hi Violetcrumble-
I'm not a Mac person but I'll try to help ya.
Safari? Firefox?
Are you getting this on all sites? Did you have a previous
working FP? Did you dl FP10 through those sites or directly from
the Adobe site? If not, try it all again directly from Adobe
http://adobe.com/go/getflash
Be sure to uninstall first, Flash uninstall tool
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
I don't have a direct link for the FP version checker (Flash
player tester), but
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
should get you close.
I can't believe that all your fav websites need to be updated
this long after FP10's release, but..? Something else must be
happening.
For some info and if all else fails:
See the thread by Chris Cox "Player 10 Performance on
Macintosh" dated 1/17/09, Tjray's reply. He has links to revert
back to v9.
I had talked to my Mac friends for another thread. They'd
previously moved over to Firefox browser for performance reasons,
and don't have the FP10 issue. Go figure. Sorry I couldn't be of
more help.

Installed Adobe Flash Plug-in Player many time,Safari5.1 not Recognizing Flash Player

I have asked and requested for help for my last Safari 5.1 Problem and I did get some help but the person didn't finish helping me or didn't answer my questions the second time around, I am hoping that I get a complete and full help and answers to my other Problems that I am still having with Safari 5.1 on my Snowleopard.
My Continuing Problem that I am having is; when I had updated my Snowleopard to Safari 5.1 I was having a Flashplayer Plug-in problem so I updated to the new current Adobe Flash Player, after doing the update, My safari 5.1 isn't recognizing the Flash Player Plug-in whenever I go to a web site that uses or has a embeded Flash Plug-in in it Safari doesn't reconize the installed Flash Player Plug-in and doesn't play the embeded Plug-in on the web site, I have installed the Flash Player several times I even installed the Shockwave Plug-in Player that too hasn't helped Safari 5.1 to recognize the Flash Player Plug-in.
After installing the Flash Player Plug-in Safari 5.1 How come Safari isn't Recognizing my Flash Player?
Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me solve this Problem and get Safar backi to start recognizing the Flash Player Plug-in again?
If anyone can help me and has a solution to my Problem and I have more questions will that person please get back to me? The other person didn't get back to me when I had more questions from my last Problem and my last problem still isn't solved.

Tisha, I too get quite bent out of shape when not a single soul in this forum gives me the courtesy of a reply. It's especially bothersome to me since I know that many literally "live" in this forum only to answer questions and rake up thousands of "points" to show off. And yet, when a really tough question comes, no answers are to be found.
Although I don't have the solution you're looking for, I would like to chime in with my own Safari 5.1 experience in hopes it can help you better decide on what to do (which may be to downgrade to an earlier version of Safari or use Google Chrome instead).
You are using Safari 5.1 under Snow Leopard while I am using Safari 5.1 under Lion. You have a problem whereby the Flash plugin doesn't load at all, whereas the problem I have is that the Flash plugin loads but is basically unusable.
When using Safari 5.1 and the latest version Flash plugin under Lion, my web pages partly lock-up or freeze after I display Flash video content. Specifically, I cannot scroll up or down by using gestures on my Apple mouse. And after using gestures to scroll up or down if I then resize the browser window, suddenly the place that I scrolled to (and couldn't see originally) appears. I have to quit Safari 5.1 and relaunch it to get it working again. But if I encounter another Flash object, the same partial lockup occurs again. I am using Click-to-Flash to allow me to continue using Safari, but every now and then I forget that this problem will occur and I click to view a Flash video and it locks up again.
I have installed the latest version of Flash player, but to no avail. It's a very serious problem that did not happen in Safari 5.0 under OS X Snow Leopard.
Furthermore, if I switch to Google's CHROME or another browser under OS X Lion, I do not have this problem at all.
What this means is, even if you are able to get the Flash plugin to load in Safari 5.1, will your web pages lock up as they do in my case? In any case, I believe it shows that Mr. Job's hatred of Flash in general has led Safari engineers utterly ignore how the new Safari 5.1 plays with Flash. It's a travesty and an absolute crying shame. I say this as someone who is not necessarily a fan of Flash. But until Flash is completely dead on the web, Apple should support it on their desktop computers under any flavor of OS X. To avoid doing that is nothing more than a slap in the face to all owners of Mac desktop or notebook computers. And having owned a Mac since the 128k in 1984, I don't say these words lightheartedly either.

Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

Hi Sandra,
you'll need to edit the security settings to install programs 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
Open the Systems Preference and go to Security & Privacy. There will be a section in the 'General' tab for 'Allow apps downloaded from:" The default selection is 'Mac App Store'. Change this setting to 'Mac App Store and identified developers".
This screenshot is taken on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), so it may look slightly different if you're on a different OS X version.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac. But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed. I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up. All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using. Please help. Thank you.

Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old. What Mac OS are you using? I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.

However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
What means "not working"; what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

You don't need an Adobe ID or password to install Flash Player, but you may need to provide your system's Administrator password during the installation.

I downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then installed replacement hard rive into iMac. when rebooting imac did not recognized new replacement hd.

i downloaded carbon copy. transferred entire internal hd to new replacement HD thru USB adapter kit. computer booted from replacement hrdrive. then i erased the internal hardrive and reloaded the operating system.( i needed to find out if the hard drive was bad or virus/worm was the cause). then installed replacement hard drive into iMac. when rebooting, imac did not recognized new replacement hd. i also upgraded memory at the same time. ok what did i do wrong. do i have to remove the new replacement hardrive to extract the data.

It should not matter. CCC will "clone" the recovery partition as well, but not knowing exactly what operation you had CCC perform it is difficult to know what may have gone wrong - it has many customizable options and you have to choose the correct one.
I have performed the same transplant as you described and didn't have a problem, but if your Mac is not recognizing the internal HD you really have no choice other than to reinitialize it as suggested. After that, install OS X, upgrade to Mountain Lion if required, and migrate your old account(s) from your backup.
my backups have backups.
I assume you didn't mean that literally. Have redundant backups - don't "back up your backups".

Unable to install adobe flash on my Mac

Paul, try this. Ir worked for me.
Essentially the online installer, which you're using downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. For some reason, the download is failing. Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.

Should I install Adobe Flash on my mac?

Is it a good idea to put Adobe Flash on my Mac? It makes me nervous.

I suggest visiting ZDNet Security blog at least weekly
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security
The denial-of-service issue affects ColdFusion 9.0.1 and earlier versions for Windows, Mac OS X and UNIX.
March 5:
Adobe Flash: The vulnerabilities, rated “critical,” have been fixed for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris OS users.
- goes against the 'wait to patch' theory somewhat depending on your browsing and other factors. What Adobe does not say - sometimes they have had and been working on a patch for months and I recall reading an advisory about this upcoming patch.
