    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you need Flash for important tasks, download and install it > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer I do not recommend you to use it due to the number of security issues it has got, but if you need it, you can install it without any problem. Just make sure you keep it updated

Is adobe flash player safe to download to my mac?

I was trying to watch a video but it said u had to down load adobe flash player?

What "other" security software?
What version of OS X is on your Mac Pro?
I just noticed that you have joined a thread that is talking about Flash on a mobile device. There is no version of Flash for a mobile device. It is available at the site I gave you ealier for Macs. So exactly what is you want?

How come adobe flash player does not work on my macbook air

when on yahoo and i select to watch a video it doesn't play and any other website with a similar format.
But i have downloaded and installed adobe flash player but yet i am still experiencing these problems. Is there another way or am i just missing something?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

Adobe Flash Player 10 reports download, is not in Flash Folder?

I have uninstalled and installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2 on my Windows XP sp3 system using the both the DLM installer and the manual installer. I have adjusted the firewall and security settings and have determined that no windows are open with Windows Explorer 8, messenger or other possible deterrents. After each "install / download" Flash Player shows up in the Control Panel add / remove programs, but not in the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder, and I am unable to access YOUTUBE files, of course getting the warning that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player. I have Adobe 10.2 installed on 3 other computers, but have not, so far, been able to get it to run on this one. If I go to IE Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Manage Add Ons there is not a mention of Flash Player there. I would really like to be able to use Flash on this computer. Please advise. GB

The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, not a standalone Player, and is therefore not installed in Program Files.
What do you need Flash Player for?
Can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?
Since you cannot see the Shockwave Flash object in the IE add-ons, do you perhaps have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set? (See http://forums.adobe.com/message/3432049#3432049)

I'm frustrated that I cannot get the adobe flash player to successfully download on my computer.

I am frustrated with the failure to download latest adobe flash player. Viewing video is mostly impossible on most things I try, and I am ready to give up soon, and buy a Mac. What does this keep happening???

Please provide more details about your sytem and browser and the error message your are getting on your computer.

Adobe Flash Player will not download

Suddenly my Firefox server is saying that I don't have Adobe Flash Player installed, but I know I've used it before. I checked my trash to see if maybe it accidentally got deleted, and I didn't see anything there.
When I go on the website to try and re-download it, it doesn't work. And keeps directing me back to the site to download it. I've gotten as far as to download the file and begin to have it download to my computer, and it says "Download failed".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

You can download and save the Flash player installation file to the desktop. Then you can close Firefox and double click that icon to start the installation of the Flash plugin.

Why doesn't apple allow Adobe Flash Player to be downloaded ?

Why doesn't apple support and allow downloading of Adobe Flash Player?

Because there is no version available from Adobe that works on any iOS device.

TL;DR, Adobe doesn't make flash for the iPad, and they never will. If you want to view or play flash content, do it on a computer.
Hopefully, this is the END of this thread.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*a plugin version for Firefox and most other browsers, except IE
*an ActiveX version for IE
When updating Adobe Flash, you must update both, separately. In Firefox, Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and on the "Plugin Check" page it is shown as "Shockwave Flash", the name given to it by Adobe.
