My imac will not load flash player ... i have loaded it 10000x and it still says i need flash player installed

Can some one tell me how to load flah player on my I mac i have downloaded it 10000x

I have had similar problems with both Sprint and Verizon units (Novatel u727 & u760). Solved both by going to provider sites and downloading SW.

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]].

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.

I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

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 !

Why can I not install flash player or silverlight.

I am using OS X Ver 10.8.2 on two seperate machines and was recently asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I downloaded it from the Adobe site and ran the install as they explained and it failed after approx 10%. I then used their uninstall progran and manually removed the files from the plug-in library and tried again and still got no further.
At the same time I was also asked to update Silverlight to run Sky-go and without repeating myself, have had a similar problem with that. If it was only the Mac book Pro I could accept my mistake but this has also happened on my Mac mini server which is about 12 months old.
Is there a problem with the latest OS X update? or can any one help with this.

Historically:
2008 (March) - Apple® released the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs was insistent and adamant that iOS® was NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning was that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.

Computer will NOT install flash...ready to throw it out the window

Youtube and music from sites like projectplaylist have been buffering and not resuming at all recently. I thought that trying to uninstall flash and reinstall it would help. Well after I uninstalled, I can't get it to successfully install. I have tried it in firefox and IE (I use Firefox as my main one). I click save file and it brings up the box to install and installs and then when I go to youtube or any site that requires flash it acts like it's still uninstalled. I checked my programs and I only have adobe reader and adobe air listed. I checked the adobe site to see if it's downloaded and it's not. I download the plug in and it tells me it has failed. I have no clue what I have to do now. I'm not really familiar with computers enough to know what to do. I think I have tried to download it like 20 times now. If I go to downloads the "install flash player" icon does show up. I allow it to download and it acts like it did but then nothing. This is so frustrating! It's not the first time I have had trouble downloading this before. I've tried doing the ccleaner also. Any ideas? When I look up help on other sites it just keeps giving me the manual download page from adobe. That one hasn't been working. Thanks if you can help. I'm ready to call a computer repair shop lol
btw I have a Dell Windows Vista if that helps.

Hi, Your Flash files for FF are correct. However, check the Flash folder again and see if you missed one for IE. You should have FlashUtil101_ActiveX.exe. I didn't see it in the list you just posted.
Also is the Shockwave Flash Object Installed and Enabled in the Manage addons?
Let me know on that please.
Thanks,

Thanks Mike,
I followed your instructions and I created a new administrator account in Windows7.
From this new administrator account properly installed Flash Player and it works.
As for the old administrator account does not work, I have to check that may be happening in Windows 7.
Thank you very much for helping me to find the problem.

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:

I can not install flash player activeX

Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
Sincerly Jinjetto

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,

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?

My husband has downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10 to his user account and everything seems to work properly, but I can not seem to get it to work on my user account. I have tried to download it and it always says failure to install. I also get an error:failure to register message. I don't know much about computers so any help/ideas would be apprieciated.

Hi, To whom are you sending an error report? Go to this Troubleshooting Guide and page down until you see the various errors?
Which error are you receiving?
Also were you following the Uninstall/Install procedures from that Guide? If not, what Adobe site were you using?
