Mac OS Adobe Flash installation.

Hello.
I am currently having an issue while installing the latest version of Adobe Flash.
I am using Mac Yosemite, version 10.10.1.
Currently have Flash 15.0.0
I had clicked on the Flash download link and grabbed the file just fine. I grabbed the .dmg file to my desktop, and proceeded to to installing it, however when the window pops up to retrieve it, the window tab goes blank and does not continue.
I have backed out of this and gone through the 'Flash player help' page. I have re-installed the latest version of Adobe Reader, which worked fine. I have gone through Safari preferences and checked everything, i have restarted my system; however, when i return to try installing it (Flash) again, the same thing happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

There are two issues that I see happen from time to time:
If the installer runs and fails, typically the offline installer gets the job done:

If it doesn't, try booting into Safe Mode and running it again:

If the installer just doesn't draw, like you get a black window with nothing, then resetting the PRAM frequently fixes that:

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
    Launch RealPlayer
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
    Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
    Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
    Click OK

Adobe Flash Installation Problems

Adobe Flash Player will not install on OS X ML 10.8.5. I think that problem is in Firewall or Safari Preferences...

Problem is with Adobe On-line installer of Flash player, which is very buggy and almost always crashes with some error. Please use full Off-line installer of Flash player, download from here:

Help with Adobe Flash Installation

I have a Macbook Pro and cannot access 1940 Census documents. Adobe Flash Player will not install. How can I do this?

Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
How do I fix this?

It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
But I'm curious. . . according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

Adobe flash installation crashes

MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4 Safari version 7.0.5
The downloading of the flash installer is successful, but when it is launched, the installer automatically crashes.
Apple has told me that the program re-runs through the coding hundreds of times until it crashes. Some applications that require adobe flash do work (some youtube videos) but 75% of the time do not.
I have uninstalled and deleted the unnecessary libraries, reset safari, and so on....
Help Please? I'll probably need this for my online class that starts in 2 weeks.....

Try this installer: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

Adobe Flash Installation Gray Screen Error

Hi,
When installing adobe flash and other adobe products (adobe reader) I get a gray screen once I load the program. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Also, when installing Adobe Air the installer worked perfectly, I would assume this is because the installer was in a different format.
Thanks.

Hello, I came across your situation, and am having the same
problem. I was wondering did u ever find a solution? I called the
adobe people but they never helped, if you found a solution could
you tell me, cuz I have tried everything i could think of.

Adobe Flash installation launcher never pops up

i somehow uninstalled the Adobe Flash. After downloading the adobe flash player launcher from the official website and opening it no installation guide pops up, but Task Manager shows its running, I am using Win 8.1 64-bit & Firefox as my default browser... No plugin also displays in the plugin finder of the browser..... I have tried a lot and read solutions but nothing was fruitful... So please help

Hello,
If flash is not working and you are not sure what happened to it, try using the uninstaller from here to remove the files if you can before reinstalling:
* Windows: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
You can double check to see if it is still installed on your computer by looking at your list of installed programs (Control Panel > Programs and Features).
Install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Note that the link usually has an "Optional offer" for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane - you can uncheck that box as it is not needed to use Flash.

Trouble with Adobe Flash Installation

I am having an issue installing Adobe Flash on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2 using Safari. When I try to run the installation, it begins running until about 50%. Then it says installation was unable to be completed. It does not give any more detailed error code. I have enabled pop ups and plug ins, made sure my firewall is off, updated my Safari, etc. Not sure what else to do. Please help!

Meggy644,
try downloading the standalone Flash Player installer from here, then exit all browsers and run the standalone installer.

Why isn't the Adobe Flash installer recognizing my Adobe ID password?

I have tried repeatedly this morning to install Adobe flash player and the password keeps "bouncing" - it will not accept my Adobe ID password

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.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

Mac and Adobe Flash Player problem.

For some unknown reason my Macbook has started to uninstall or lose the Adobe Flash Player all by itself !
I can be using the Flash Player and then sometimes close down or just exit the programme and when I come back to use it later it is not there ! It just doesn't work. I have to reinstall again and then all is OK for a while....until it happens again. It has only started doing this recently.
Nothing has changed, laptop is OK with everything else, apple updates all uptodate,permissions in utility regularly reset etc.
Any ideas ??
Thanks
Brian

It's still doing this un-install thing !!!
No ideas anyone ??
