Mac Flash Player update

I am having problems installing my flash player on the mac. I have used safari, chrome, mozilla to install it and it does work. The last time this happened, I had to install it offline. How do I do that?

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Mac: InDesign CC crashing after Flash Player update

System: Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe CC (InDesign, Photoshop, Muse) running on a MacBook Pro retina from mid-2012.
Yesterday, after the Media Encoder and DPS update, InDesign begun to crash and did not run. I already reported this in another thread.
I restored my system from a clean, perfectly working clone. No problems at all. Of course, I avoided the CC updated for now.
Now, I did update the Flash Player (from 11.7.7 to 11.8). No other changes were made. And InDesign begun to crash AGAIN. This time, if I chose reopen from the crash notice, I can run the application. But it is very clear it is caused by Flash Player.
The error report:

Back to my initial rotice, I saw the crash is not due to Flash Player. This is what I made:
1. Restored again the system. Did open ID. It runs ok the first time. Closed ID and tryed to open it again. Crash. I do not did anything else after the restore so it is not caused by Flash Player update.
2. Tried the solution already known regarding users fonts. Not to avail.
3. Maybe another app would cause the problem. So I begun to remove apps which run with the system start. For each one, I did an uninstall, restart the system and then tried to open ID. The results:
3.1. BetterTouchTool: ID kept crashing.
3.2. Midnight: ID kept crashing.
3.3. Boom: ID kept crashing.
3.4. FocusMask: ID kept crashing.
3.5. KeyRemap4MacBook: ID kept crashing
3.6. ClipMenu: ID kept crashing.
4. Thought some customization could also interfere with ID. So tried:
4.1. Remove personal keyboard layuot: ID kept crashing.
4.2. Remove personal keybindings: ID kept crashing.
5. Considered Spotlight indexing may also be the cause. So I made sure this process is not underway prior to open ID. Crash again.
6. Maybe the problem is releated with some very specific system privilegies ID needs and are not the default ones set up in the system. In order to fix this I did set up total control to my user over all folders I guess ID may be using, propagating these privilegies to subfolders. No better.
7. Created another admin user and then I am able to use InDesign CC with it (thanks, Steve!). This is a solution I tried to avoid with the 1–6 procedures because I knew I ahd to invest several hours in order to configure the system to this new user. But at leat it is working. Anyway, another problem appeared: Creative Cloud app says it has an update available but the installation fails every time.
So, I exchanged a critical problem to a relevant one. Better but still far from good.
By now, I really do not believe the ID crash is a sytem problem. See, I made a clean install of OS X 10.8, updated to 10.8.4, tested all and saved a clone. Then, added all the apps I use except CC, configured them all, did tests and saved a second clone. Finally, I did add CC apps (actually, just ID, PS and Muse), tested them and again saved a clone. Everything is ok with restores made from these three clones. I have 84 apps working fine –including other CC apps– and just ID crashing. Nothing indicates the problem is with the system and not InDesign.
Actually, I still think there is something to do with file and folder privilegies used by Adobe installer which does not match the user ones. The fail to update CC app also seems to point to this. But I do not know enough about these deep system administration issues to do further investigation. I suppose Adobe will release an update within a month and point to some "system conflict" with ID.

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

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’.

Cna anybody help get flash player update to work on my Mac?

I tried to update my flash player today and now my computer doesn't recognize any flash player on my system. I am operating on a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and I use Safari.
I downloaded the flash player update, which opened the install icon automatically. After installation was complete I was instructed to restart my browsers for installation to take effect. I restarted my browser, which didn't work. I restarted my computer, which also didn't work. Anybody have a suggestion to help me fix this problem.
Thank you!!

Hi, Adobe recommends Uninstalling current versions first and then Installing the Update. Some Mac users agree, some don't.
This is the Mac Troubleshooting Guide and I hope it is helpful. It has instructions for Uninstalling and Installing, along with screenshots.

Adobe Flash Player Update Dialog - Confused

Hello,
Configuration: OS X v10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7
On May 29th, I updated to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 — from file “Flash Player.plugin” (version 11.2.202.235).
Over the past few days, I keep getting this dialog while using my browser:
I'm confused about this, since the Apple Support Article: HT5271 says:
Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Snow Leopard, and Leopard Security Update 2012-003 disable out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player. Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
This Adobe dialog I'm getting does not seem to follow what the Support Article says. I have installed Security Update 2012-003.
Do I install this per the Adobe dialog I'm seeing OR do I wait for a Mac (Safari) dialog informing me that Flash Player has been disabled providing me with the option to go directly to Adobe's website (as noted in the Apple Support Article: HT5271)?
And do I need to deselect automatic updates in the Flash Player Local Settings Manager (I can't seem to even find the Settings Manager)?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for the replies Linc and Carolyn!
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
You can select: Never check for updates even though it's not recommended and click Check Now at your own convenience for updates. That will prevent the Flash Player update pop up window.
Do I need to uninstall the old Flash plug-in before doing this?

Adobe Flash Player Update Problem

When I go to install the new Flash Player update on my Mac OS X I go through all the normal steps but when it begins to install it stays stuck at around 25% and won't move. It just says downloading. After a while of staying still it just says connection lost. I've tried a clean install I've tried deleting and redownloading it but nothing has worked so far.

Please use the offline installer:

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 stopped working and was closed?

After trying many different fixes including uninstalling flash player and unsuccessfully trying to reinstall it, would consistently stop loading at about 57 percent. Either there are remains of registry keys interfering or your site or my computer has been attacked. No malware showing after checking with antivirus. Seen same message on other computers. Had to restore computer to earlier date but lost some contact info in the process in Skype. Possible problem from trying to install internet tv software, but restored to previous point there to. Computer works ok but slowed on internet considerably but message shows continuously daily need a better solution or let your site analyze my flash player. What can I do?
adobeloug

thank you for your info, I did edit the question to show I was using vista (business to be specific). I will try again with some afterthoughts. Will enable Java first. I remember that was a problem in a previous update, I thought that was always running and go through the steps again. I don't feel comfortable messing with the registry and if you can add some advice on how to deal with that safely that would be appreciated also. Thank you so much for your quick response. Also, isupgrade to explorer 10 recommended for vista or is it suppose to accommodate windows 8. I don't want to be a beta tester before they work out all the kinks sincerelyadobelougLou Grubin

False Flash Player update

Hi, I have my MacBook Pro 13" OS Mavericks always updated to the last version but unfortunately when I open Safari and write "google.com" I receive a false suggestion for Flash Player update. What should I do to remove this "virus"??? Tnak you

Sorry. I'm at a lost of what else to tell you. It is not necessarily a virus and the popup may be valid and your browser is not recognizing the updated version.
I've seen people have problems installing a newer version over an older one. Some solutions was to completely remove it from the computer. Then reinstall it.
You could try uninstalling the Flash Player pluggin and the reinstall it. There should be some extensive instructions at the adobe site to do this.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Now I see your latest post. Really don't know what to make of it. Try removing Flash player and see what happens. Someone else may know what's going on.

Nerving flash player updates

I am frequently asked to donwload & install flash player updates. When I actually do that from time to time it sometimes takes only another minute until I am asked yet again to download a more recent update. This is extremely nerving (how come there should be a more recent version every minute????)!!!!! Can this nuisance be stopped?????

Clean out Flash first, if the tips don't work for you, then install it from scratch:
Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
If the download doesn't work, get it from here:
Flash Player enterprise deployment | Adobe Developer Connection
Mylenium
