Installing Flash Player on a Mac OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.1)

I am relatively computer illiterate. I mean I don't even know what a "Community" is so I've chosen this one ... I have no idea if it is the correct one, but there was no "Flash" community to choose from. If it's wrong please let me know! Seems a pretty hard way to get help if you ask me; there must be others as illiterate as myself ...
Anyway, having received an "update now" message from Adobe regarding Flash I followed instructions but the update wouldn't install.
I tried various times but it simply froze up at between 25% and 45% of the installation. It downloaded a file, "http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/live/AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_16_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg" of 1.1 Mb. This seems far too small but after at least ten attempts it never downloads anything bigger.
Anyway, I followed the instructions in the "Help" section which eventually led me to uninstalling with a view to installing a completely new package.
However, now I've uninstalled it still wont install so I'm worse off than ever.
I attach a screenshot of flash player files now on my computer.
Can anyone help?

Please use the offline installer, here:

    What Pat said:
    Open Safari
    From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
    You can now proceed with the installation.

  • I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!

  • I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

    I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5.  The progress bar show is as  downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed.

    hi there.

    thanks for your help

    You need to quit Safari before Flash can be installed. No need to remove Safari.
    With Safari open, from the menu bar click Safari > Quit Safari
    Then proceed with the Flash installation.
    When you are done installing Flash, you can re launch Safari.

  • When I try to install flash player on my mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, and it will not take my password.  tried changing to a new password and same result

    When I try to install flash player on my Mac, I get to the panel that asks for my name and password, but it will not take my password.  Tried changing the password, but same result.  Suggestions??

    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.

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

  • Installed Flash player on my Mac osx 10.5.8 but doesn't work

    The installation went fine. I've actually installed it over and over again. But programs that require it (show up as a browse button for photos) don;t work. I can't see where the flash player is installed on my computer either. Please help. Thanks, Hilary

    Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
    16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
    There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
    Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    IMO 10.6  would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
    So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8. 
    Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.
