Mac Flash Player 11 installation problems

I installed Flash Player 11.2.202.228 on Mac that has Mac OS 10.6.8 (64-bit). I use Safari. The installation says it was successful. The Adobe Flash Player Help site detects that it was installed but I have no player. I have un-installed, installed numerous times, started up in Safe Mode, re-started the computer, checked my Internet Preferences to allow plug-ins, everything that I could find on this forum but I am having no luck. Please help. I am not an IT type so simple terms will help.

Hello,
What you meant by Adobe Flash Player Help site detects the Flash Player? Could you please, click the following link?

Can you see the rolling ball? If that's the case, Flash Player is working fine. Do you have issues with a specific site?
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player 9: Installation Problem

I am using MAC OS X 10.3.9. I just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9.
Instead of step 4 onwards as in the Installation Instructions, i get two files:
-flash player.plugin
-flashplayer.xpt
How do i proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Herman

Hi Herman,
I can't help you I'm afraid!
I have exactly the same problem! I've tried downloading Flash Player 9 several times and I always get the same two files - flash player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. There's no installer (nothing that looks like the file shown in Adobe's 'installation instructions') so I don't know what to do with the files. I've read somewhere that more than one copy of Flash Player installed can cause glitches so I ran Adobe's Flash Player Uninstaller and then downloaded Flash Player 9 again. But still the same two files arrived!
Is there someone out there who can help please..? I'm absolutely baffled!
Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed x !

Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox

Hello
It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
Also a new and strange and disturbing function has appeared.
In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.

Hello
Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.

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

Adobe Flash Player 12 installation error

I cannot install Adobe Flash Player 12. I go through all of the setting and just when I think it's about to finish I get the "General Installation Error" message.
I've trashed all the Flash Player folders in my library but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
This link is probably more useful though not in my case.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml
I too get the General Installation error and have followed the advice on the Adobe website.
"Close all browsers if an error message appears."
I have closed all browsers (force quit) but still get the "General Installation Error", interesting I also get update Garmin communicator.
I have 18GB free on my drive.
Any ideas what would cause the Mac Installation packages to fail?

Can you please update the link for the flash player standalone installer?

That is an old document (Flash Player 10.3) that shouldn't be there anymore. (The English document redirects to the link below.)

Adobe Flash Player Update Installer

After dbl-click downloaded update file, Adobe Flash player installer DOS-like [i.e. black background] window appears - using Firefox in Windows 8 - then nothing happens
what to do ?

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Flash Player stops installation 50% of way

I have installed Chrome but Flashplayer 11 goes half way through the process and says I have to turn off Internet Explorer. I did the suggested steps as the help guide said but cannot get passed this 50% success mark. Enabled scripting(already enabled anyway) turned off pop up blocker. Java keeps bothering me to update. Is this the proplem?

Java is unrelated to Flash Player, but you should update it anyway (security fixes).
Try this: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Mac Flash Player Installer stalls at 25% or 30% followed by Connection Lost Start Over, which I do with same result.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Adobe Flash Player (general installation error)

   Anyone that can't update or install the latest Adobe Flash Player have this problem/error and know how to solve it?
                                                                                                                                                                             Thanks for your response!

   I rebooted a million times did nothing. Turns out I found out the easiest way is to go to Activity Monitor look for Dock and quit the dock then try installing. This method seems so be the easiest and working for everyone.

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out. Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.
