Mac Flash Player 11 install failure

On Macintosh running OS X 7.5 my Safari web sites stopped recognizing my Flash Player; I downloaded the new Flash Player from adobe.com and followed installation instructions but Flash Player would not install It does not appear in the Applications folder, does not get recognized as installed by my web sites. I followed Adobe Support instructions to remove old versions, reinstall Flash but nothing seems to correct the installation error.

  • Flash player update/install failure

    I know this probably has been answered but I need help.  I have xp sp3, ie 8.  Flash player worked last night, got notice to up date. Loaded installer, tried loading the newest version and got "active x control can not be registered".  I checked and no flash player is installed, turned off norton 360, checked ie settings and they are all as the troublle shooting steps say they should be.  I dont really want to pay someone $36 who I will have trouble communicateing with.  Please help.

    I can only imagine that the reason you're seeing that message then is because the ActiveX control is already registered which prevents you from registering it again.
    So what you could try is to unregister it and then run the installation again. To unregister the Flash ActiveX control, go to Start | Run and then copy/paste the following into the Run field and click OK: regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Director\SwDir.dll
    You should get a message telling you that the file SwDir.dll has been successfully unregistered.
    If it says that it can't find SwDir.dll, make sure that the operating system can see file extensions. To check that, launch Windows Explorer (CTRL+E) and on the top line, click Tools | Folder Options | View. In the list. Make sure that "Show Hidden Files and Folders" is checkmarked. If there's a checkmark in "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" which is the next option down, remove it, then Apply/OK and then run the command again.
    Could you also check to see if this file is present on your PC: Flash9.ocx It will be located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx if it is.
    I don't think you'll find it because it belongs to Flash player v9.0, but you never know.

  • Flash player detection/install failure

    First time login to Share. After inputting my Adobe id and

    The page has the title "Share beta - Flash player

  • Flash Player 10 Install Failure

    The current firefox installer download and installed for FIrefox seems to be malfunctioning.  I initially took the support call from one of my clients but was able to duplicate it, and continue to duplicate it on my Windows 7 PC running the latest version of Firefox.
    Even going out on google and trying a manual install, details listed below was unsuccessful.  Upon going though the manual procedures youtube.com which I use as a Flash testing area still comes up and says I need to install Flash PLayer 10.  Here are the manual instructions I found below:
    Download the XPI archive of the Flash Player Plugin to your hard disk (right click on the download link then "Save link  as.."). XPI archives are only ZIP files containing the files used by the  plugins.
    So you can safely rename the file you just downloaded, called flashplayer-win.xpi, into flashplayer-win.zip (you are changing its extension from .xpi to .zip)
    Extract the files in the archive. You can use any program capable of opening .zip files (WinZip, WinRAR or the free and great 7-zip). There are also websites which can uncompress archives: wobzip.org.
    Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\
    %APPDATA% is not a real folder. It's an alias. By inserting it in your windows explorer address bar, you'll be redirected to the real folder which holds your  applications profiles and settings. The location of this folder depends  on various setting that's why we need the alias and not an absolute  path.
    You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK".
    In case you don't have a Plugins folder you can create one and place your files there.
    Restart Firefox
    Enjoy your flash websites!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've never had this installtion issue before with Firefox in the past, on my Windows or my MAC

    This problem is now resolved, thanks to the kind assistance of Klaus Hartnegg [mailto:[email protected]]
    searched my computer for *.msi and found "install_flash_player_15_active_x.msi",
    Moved it to the directory with "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi".  deleted the 10, renamed 15 to 10 (to fool the QB installer),
    deleted HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions from the registry.
    The Quick Books Premier 2011 installed normally.

    Gerard Lieshout

    Hi Gerard,
    Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
    I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
    You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
    Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

  • Problems installing mac flash player

    I have tried repeatedly to uninstall existing Flash Player and install Flash Player 11 (11.2.202.235) on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 64-bit system running Safari (64-bit), without success. 
    The dialog box says that installation was successful, and if you check Apple / System Preferences / Flash Player / Advanced / Updates, it indicates that "Plug-in version 11.2.202.235 is installed.",
    but if I try to run anything requiring Flash, it does not work, and when I go to
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    under Flash Player Help / Find Version / Flash Player
    Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer
    I see a blank gray box, indicating that Flash Player is not installed.
    I have followed all of the instructions on Flash Player Help / Installation Problems / Mac OS and uninstalled and reinstalled flash multiple time, with firewalls and antivirus system disabled and everything active force quit, and I get exactly the same results ... Flash appears to be installed, but does not work ... any suggestions?

    Could you please check the following?
    Go to Safari Settings > Preference.
    Go to the Security tab.
    Are the following options selected: Enable Plug-ins and Enable JavaScript?
    Thanks,
    Sunil

  • I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

    I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air.  I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software.  It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error.  Please help!
    MAC OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1
    Firefox 26.0
    Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac.  Worked perfectly.
    MAC OS 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1.10
    Firefox 26.0
    It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

    "Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
    The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
    If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory.  And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
    That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
    Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
    YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
    If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
    If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
    You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
    Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
    Check the box and you have to restart Finder
    Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
    Select "Open"
    Open your TIme Machine
    Go back to September 28 or earlier.
    You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
    (I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
    Right click it and select "Restore to"
    Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
    It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
    DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
    IF you don't have the Time Machine...
    WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
    Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
    You should see the mach_kernel file there.
    You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
    Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
    THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

  • Can Flash Player be installed on an external hard drive?

    I have this game I am trying to install on an external hard drive that requires Flash Player and even though it is installed on my computer the game keeps popping up with Flash Player is required for this install. Would you like to install it now? Is there any way to install Flash Player on my external or get the game's installer to recognize it being on the hard drive. I don't want to install the game to my computer. Thanks for any help.

    Flash Player is installed on the Windows system32 and syswo64 folders; it cannot be installed anywhere else.
    What does that game require: the ActiveX control, or the plugin?  If in doubt, install both.

  • Flash Player 9 installed????

    CONFUSED?? I have Flash Player 9 installed, and have checked
    this out on this website (all fine!)..... When I try to get on some
    websites, it tells me that I have Flash Player 9, but it will still
    not display the web page!?
    PLEASE HELP!?!

    Similar problem -- but using IE7RC1 - no swf files would
    play. Finally used the uninstaller for Version 9, found on Adobe
    site, and all worked fine. Apparently Flash Player version 9 has
    some issues with Microsoft (or is it the other way around) that
    causes it to not work. If you go back to previous version of Flash
    Player (the swf file I was trying to play was using version 7
    something) you just may find that all is now well. I've posted on
    the Microsoft IE7 site same findings since a lot of other people
    out there seem to be having the same problem with Flash Player.
    Hope this helps you fix the problem.
