Issue with installing updated adobe flash player to my macbook pro

I have been attempting to update the adobe flash player on my macbook pro for some time now with no success. The installation gets to over 90% complete before a message popping up saying to close safari--which, but this doesn't help. I have read several other similar issues but am yet to find a suggestion that works.
any ideas?
thank you

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

  • Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

    Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

    Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
    I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
    When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
    If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
    I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
    If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
    Their player, plays the video without a problem!

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.

  • How is one to safely deal with the "Update Adobe Flash Player" Pop-Up?

    Good computer security practice would be to *not* click on anything in the unexpected pop-up, but instead close that window and then either:
    Go to the Adobe site and download the "Update" from there -- but the site never offers "updates", it just offers downloads of the product. 
    Open the cited application on one's computer and use its "update" process -- but I can never find the most recent Adobe Flash Player application on my Mac.  I've used Adobe's Update process multiple times in the past and the result is multiple old versions of Adobe Flash Player scattered around, but the latest version which the Adobe Flash Player test site at URL:  http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/   says that I have is nowhere to be found.  Right now, running that test on my Mac results in the feedback:  "You have version 11,0,1,152 installed"
    If one does click on the "INSTALL" button in the pop-up, is the Adobe "update" process which is to run supposed to just add another "new" version of Adobe Flash Player (in some non-intuitive place), or is it also to remove the older versions, or at least the most recent older version, of Adobe Flash Player?
    Is there some predictable default location where Adobe Flash Player should be installed on Mac OS X?

    The download does EXACTLY what the "update" does... it downloads the full new version (about 3.6mb) and OVERWRITES the older version.
    In your Library/Application Support/Adobe folder (I forget just exactly where) the plug-in installs for your installed browsers.  The updater overwrites the files there.

    First, Flash Player is up to version 12 so I have to wonder where you're getting the file you're trying to install from. This link is direct to Adobe, where you can get the latest version. This link will tell you which version (if any) you currently have installed. Always get Adobe products, including Flash Player, from Adobe, since other sites which tell you you need it and then offer it may be installing malware instead.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display? It keeps asking me to quit Safari in the background.

    .

    Yes, you have to quit Safari for the Flash Installer to complete the installation process. It's sounds as if you've download Flash Player and are trying to install it?

  • Issues with installing OSX Version 10.9.2 on MacBook Pro Mid 2009

    I received an update notification OSX Version 10.9.2 when I follow the process for updates I get message that "Updates not installed and some updates could not be installed automatically"!  Is there a problem wit this version?

    Hey, I do not have the exact same problem but trying to update to 10.9.2 causes my macbook to be stucked in black screen + curser after boot up. I have looked through forums for an answer but nothing worked for me (such as reboot, reset NVRAM, disk verification, disk/permission repair,  password entry, control-option-command+8, fresh osx 10.9.2 install). To be sure that my disk is properly working, I have installed the original snow leopard os, this worked fine. I also could access the recovery console.
    To be able to use my mac I have now restored to 10.9.1 from my TM backup. Dont know if I should report this strange behaviour to Apple. Maybe there are others who have discovered the same issue?
    Let me know pls.
    cheers.

  • Since recent update, Adobe Flash Player no longer works.

    Help please.  Recently I received notification of updated version, latest version of Adobe Flash Player for my MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.6.8.
    Flash Player was working and active prior to this update.  Since downloading the update, anything requiring Flash Player just puts up a blank screen.
    What to do.
    So far I have uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled, but this has made no difference.

    I guess your machine is Windows 7.
    Could you please try the solution provided in the following link? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    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’.

  • Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

    Hello!
    I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
    and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
    I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

    For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files.  That's what happened here.  Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.
