Issues updating flash player

I have a Mac and I am having trouble updating my adobe flash player. Every time I try, it redirects me to the App store. Why does this happen and how can I get past this step and actually update the player? Thanks!

Hi elysiac48484042,
Flash Player is not updated via the App Store. It is available at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.   Where are you going (what website) to get Flash Player that is directing you to the App store?

  • Having issues updating Flash Player

    I'm trying to update Flash on my 10.9 iMac. I dowlonad the installer from Adobe. I open it up and it asks if I want to trust the file from the internet. I say yes, then it never actually starts to update. It never asks for my administrator credentials. Any ideas?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • HT5655 I followed all the instructions to update Flash Player, but the installation fails at around 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) bit I actually close all Apps. already. can someone help me with this issue ?? Thanks

    I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David

  • Update flash player- password issue

    Adobe Flash player update is asking for my password which is valid and lets me into my account online, but will not allow me to update Flash Player.....
    advice?

    There is no sign-in password needed for Adobe Flash. However, your computer account's admin password is required to install software.
    Did you not create a password for your computer's login account? If not, then you will need to do the following:
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier with installer DVD
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password,
         OS X- Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier).

  • I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

    Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
    The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
    I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
    Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
    Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
    When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
    Could that be the main problem?
    I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
    Please help?

    You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
    Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
    Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
    Thanks,
    Suni

  • Issues with Flash player Crashing

      I keep getting a gray exclamation mark on things that run a Flash player. I never go over my RAM memory and after I get the gray exclamation mark it asks me to update my flash player. Even when I do so it say I have the most update Flash player. i have to close all my window and went 2 minute than reopen before it will work again
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Can you try a browser other than IE10 to see if this still occurs?  Given that IE10 is still not generally available to the public, I'm not sure how much testing it's getting at this point. 
    Regardless, this is something we'd want to address.  Please open a new bug report on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com. The following FAQ will walk you through the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log (if applicable):
    How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?
    Once the bug has been added, please post back with the bug URL or bug number so that others effected can add their comments and votes.

  • After updating Flash Player, continue to get message "Flash Player Update Required"

    Even though I have just installed Flash Player 12 and it shows on my list of programs, I continue to get the message "Flash Player Update Required" when I try to view a video or play a Facebook game.  I have rebooted but still doesn't work.

    Issue resolved!  I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it from the
    Adobe website.  Then rebooted and that took care of the problem.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

    Hello Everyone,
                            I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have.  We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update.  I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in  as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!

  • Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169.  YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

    I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
    Any ideas?

    JavaScript and Cookies are enabled.  my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu.  Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
    I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

  • Update flash player on mac os x 10.5.8

    i have a mac os x 10.5.8 and i am trying to update flash player but every time i try i get a message saying it requires 10.6 or higher. how can i update my flash player??

    Running Leopard you can't. What you have is as far as it will go.
    Leopard was the last build Mac released that was a "Universal Binary". In other words, it would run on PowerPC or Intel Processors. Once Snow Leopard was released, Adobe stopped deveopment on Universal binary builds of Flash Player.
    I know it seems like just another "money grab" by Apple and Adobe trying to force everyone to buy a new Operating System, but the entire industry has moved away from the old Apple architecture and software for it.

    My Mac has stopped playing you tube asking me to update flash player trouble is it is asking me for a password and I don't ever recall setting a password for this mac …!!!!

    When the Mac was setup you had to create an administrative password.and account.  Yo have to sign into that account to install apps/plug-ins like Flash. To reset that password.

  • I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept.  Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

    I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update.  How can I update adobe flash?

    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.

  • Update Flash Player (General Plug-in) in Adobe applications

    Hello,
    Secunia PSI detects Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General Plug-ins)
    as unsafe. The Plug-ins are used by the Adobe applications: Bridge,
    Dreamweaver and Air and are installed in directories of these
    programms.
    I've updated Flash Player to version 10.x but these programms
    use their own Plug-in (installed with the programms) and haven't
    been updatet by the update routine of Flash 10.x.
    How can I update the Plug-ins for these programms?
    Regands, Uwe
