Mac will not update flash player, please advise

My Adobe Flash Player needs to be updated to 15.0.0.189 but the site will not allow me to download. Says 'Your antivirus software must allow you to install software.' I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. No antivirus software installed. Checked the forums but can not find any info specific to this issue. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I don't believe that what you're experiencing is legitimate. This sounds like an attempt to get you to install malware. I'm thinking that you may have been tricked into downloading a fake Flash Player. Let's throw that installer away and start again.
Download Flash Player from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
If that gives you trouble please try the alternate installer:

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

Mac will not automatically find 10.7.2 when I ask for a software update?

Exactly what version are you running (the build number) - available by clicking on the apple and then underneath the Apple OS X (there'll be the verions, the serial number, and the build number). Can you post that please.

DO NOT UPDATE FLASH PLAYER

Unless you want a million viruses and crappy programs to install themselves on your computer, don't update your flash player. It told me I needed to update flash player so I could finish what I was doing for work and next thing you know I'm spending an hour trying to uninstall all of the programs that popped up. When I opened my browser the default page had a sketchy "search engine." I restarted my computer and when it started up all these programs started running without me doing anything. Adobe sucks and their flash player is the worst. It almost cost me my computer AND wasted hours of my time when I needed to get work done.

Hello,
When I click on the Citrix link you provide, it takes me to this page:
When I click INSTALL, a new page opens:
Nothing is downloaded.
Since you mentioned the Citrix website, we are aware that the Citrix XenDesktop page, Products - XenDesktop - Download Flash Plugin - Citrix, contains the wrong Flash Player shim/stub installer, although, it doesn't download a file that contains malware/etc. We are attempting to resolve this with Citrix.

Adobe Reader will not open Flash Player on my iMac

Hi Folks,
For some reason I cannot install Flash Player. I used to have it on my iMac but now don't, maybe I inadvertantly deleted it somehow?
I've tried re-downloading the app but keep getting the message as below.
I've even tried copying the download to a Flash drive from my Mac Pro ( on which it works fine) and saving it directly into the Utilities folder on my iMac, still no luck. When I click on the icon it only comes up with the option to "remove" Flash Player
Got any ideas?
Cheers
Peter

Hi Peter,
It appears that somehow Reader has become the default program to open DMG files. You'll want to open the DMG with DiskImageMounter.app. DiskImageMounter is found in /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
Right-click on the DMG installer file and select 'OpenWith'
This will reveal a menu that should have DiskImageMounter.app listed.
If DiskImageMounter.app is not listed, select Other... and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app.
This will mount the DMG revealing the actual installer .app file inside
Double-click the .app file and proceed with the instructions to install Flash Player.
You'll actually want to make DiskImageMounter.app the default program to open DMG files so that you don't encounter the same scenario in the future.

Contribute CS3 will not publish Flash Player

A few months ago the company I work for bought Contribute CS3
to edit our website. The homepage of our website contains a Flash
Player file. When I edit and publish this homepage Contribute will
not publish the Flash Player file this section just shows up blank
stating movie not loaded when I bring up our website. The same
thing happens even when I do a 'send for review' before I actually
publish the page. I have administrator rights through Contribute to
edit this website therefore I am confused as to why Contribute will
not publish this Flash Player file. I have also tired to reinsert
the Flash file while editing in Contribute and still the file will
not publish. Would anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks!

Is this occurring with other Web CS applications or only with
Contribute CS3? For general troubleshooting of Web CS products

It will not let flash player install. How do I fix it.

My games on Facebook stopped loading and it says that Firefox has disabled flash player. I have tried to re-install and it will not let me. I have un-installed both Firefox and flash player and Firefox still will not let me re-install flash player.

Found this item it may help
OK, I have fixed it here. Here's what I did:
quit iTunes
trashed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
started iTunes, and authorised my account
Worked straight away after that !

IE 9 and 10 will not launch flash player

This is in regards to my desktop. About three weeks ago I started having issues with the Flash Player not working when called upon by a website as an add-on to IE 10. So I called Microsoft Support and they did all manner of system restore and now the computer is all hosed up. One of the things they did do was uninstall IE 10 and reinstall IE 9. While IE 9 was more stable, IE 9 will not launch the Flash Player either when prompted by a web site. Flash Player WILL launch if I use Chrome or Firefox. The solution that everyone throws my way is not to use IE, but that doesn't fix the issue of getting IE 9 to luanch the flash player when called upon by a web site. Microsoft seems bamboozled by this and their tech support overseas has no idea how to fix this short of a clean install and startiong over from scratch - which seems like the most likely scenario. My desk top is running Windows 7 - build 1. IE Explorer is version 9.0.17. The machine is a 64 bit Intel Core i7 CPU with 870 at 2.93 Ghz. AV is ESET, udated, runs everyday. I have tried putting sites on the on the pop-up blocker allow list and have shut Microft's pop-up block oiff completly with no behavioral change form the computer. I have also disable all of the add-ons and re-enable them, with no change. The most recent version of Flash Player is the one I installed this morning from the adobe web site.

Does this FAQ help?

Internet Explorer 9 will not recognize Flash Player

Since I installed an update from Adobe a few days ago, IE 9 will not recognize that I have the most current version (11.0.1.152) Installed. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I go to a site that requires Flash and am told I dont have it and need it, I go download and reinstall, still it is not recognized. It works fine in Chrome, but then I go to the same site in IE 9 and again am told I don't have it and need to install it. What steps can I take to fix this?
OS is Vista Business

Safari will not enable Flash Player.

I have installed, uninstalled, rebooted, checked forums, and followed all the instructions. I have a Mac operating OS X Mavericks and cannot use Adobe Flash Player. When I select Safari>Preferences>Security, There is no option for me to select "allow all other plug-ins" I have JavaScript enabled but there is no check box to enable Flash Player. I would very much like to access YouTube on my new Macbook Pro. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dom

Dom, the Preferences>security appears different between versions.
Safari 7 (Mavericks) or Safari 6 (Mt. Lion)
Safari 5 (Snow Leopard)
Check your System Preferences to be sure it's installed.
