Need help installing Flash on an iMac

I am a little confused. Yesterday morning, my computer was
working fine. A relative of mine got on the machine -- and when I
returned later, I received a message from a website that I was on
that I did not have Flash. I am on an Intel iMac with OSX. I have
tried downloading a new Flash installation pack -- it comes back,
mid-installation with the comment:
Macromedia Flash-Player has content of MIME type
"application/x-shockwave-flash", but you don't have a plug-in
installed for thsi MIME type. A plug in should be accessible on
this page (with a link to a web page).
I have visited as many web pages as I could find -- and read
a variety of tech notes. One instructed that I may not have proper
permissions, but I am the administrator on this system (it is a
non-networked personal machine). As Flash is a free product, they
cannot / will not help here, so I am thoroughly lost. Any and all
help would be appreciated.
Thank you

hey!
this thread is really interesting, coz i used to have the
same problem with my imac g5 but somehow it solved itself, cant
remeber what i did.. but now i have a new problem: i install flash
player, all works fine, but as soon as i restart/shut down my
computer, it magically uninstalls itself!!!!! i have no idea how it
does it, or why, but i know that when i log back into my account
the little flash player logo as a removable drive has ejected
itself, and whenever i go to a webpage such as www.absolut.com i am
confronted with a quicktime logo with a '?' over the top of it and
have to re-download the installer and reinstall the plugin all over
again. im not even sure why the computer thinks it has anything to
do with quicktime when its clearly a Flash player problem, but
anyway.. so if anyone has any explanation can they please tell me,
coz its driving me INSANE!!! i was thinking of contacting Apple but
i thought id try here first. good luck with all your problems, may
your prayers be answered!

Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

I need help installing flash on windows 8

I need help installing flash on windows 8

Chris… No I was using the desktop version, I cannot stand the M version, guess it would be nice if I had a touch screen..…when I finally got my computer to download the Acrobat Standard XI program, not sure how it worked, but I think it had something to do with Windows 8 not allowing itself to update all my apps and programs, even though my computer was set to automatically update any Windows/Microsoft updates…finally I got my Windows updates done, it downloaded like 36 files…and then I had to restart,(which also could have been playing a factor)…so finally got the program downloaded on Windows 8…but then I tried to run the new program and it says install serial #...so I assume that it was asking for the serial # for the Acrobat Standard XI…finally after googling the web, I found somebody that said try your older serial # from the previous program, and when I did this it finally works.. you would think with a brand new Windows computer I would have no problem installing Windows Updates…somebody needs to make a sticky about this, I am sure I am not the only one haiving this problem..
Thanks,

Need help installing Flash Player

After following the Adobe trouble shooting procedures, I'm still unable to install Flash Player. Can anyone help? OS is Vista Home Premium.

Thanks for your email. I'm using Internet Explorer 8 and didn't get any error messages; however I believe the installation was unsuccessful because I didn't see the movie used to confirm a successful installation.
I understand a pop-up blocker might be inhibiting the movie (TechNote tn_19091); however I still believe installation was unsuccessful because when browsing websites requiring Flash I'm prompted to install it. (Fixing the potential pop up blocker problem requires messing with the Registry - something I'd rather not do - and doing so wouldn't fix my installation problem.)
I followed all of the steps in Adobe "Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation for Windows" TechNote (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#installwindowsvista) with no success.
I then contacted Adobe Tech Support with no luck and their Tech Rep referred me to this forum.
Some background: I uninstalled Flash last year because I believed it was the cause of frequent IE freeze ups, and then reinstalled it earlier this year with no problems until it suddenly stopped working several weeks or so ago. I can see the FlashUtil10 application version 10.0.45.2 in the Flash folder.
I Restored Windows to an earlier configuration - no luck - will try again as well as going thru the above trouble shooting procedures in the event I messed up.

Need help installing Flash Player 9

I am trying to install Flash Player 9 on my Mac G5 OS10.3.9 I
had it installed previously but son clicked on some sort of
download while online and now it's not working. Yesterday it worked
fine.I downloaded the FlasPlayer install and ran it but it always
stops at "Items remaining to be installed -4" and just keeps
running. I even left it go overnight to see if it finished, which
it didn't. Please help me figure out why the remaining 4 items will
not install. I usually use Safari 1.3.2 as my browser but I also
have Internet Explorer 5.2.3 loaded on my computer.

I have exactly the same problem on my G4 laptop running
10.4.8. I hate Adobe. There isn't even a means of contacting them
to register the problem. Apparently nobody there wants to hear from
us.

Need Help Installing Flash CS4 For Windows

Hi, I have downloaded the two files to install Flash CS4 for Windows from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
Unfortunately, there is no explanation whatsoever provided regarding how to use the two files, and how to install my product.
I feel like I am missing something obvious here, but can someone please explain.
Kind regards,
Finn.

Try uninstalling then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then double click the .exe file again.
What do I do with the .7z file?
Nothing. That's is an archive of files used by the .exe file during the installation process.

Need help installing Flash Player 10.1 in PC

When I go to the install Wizard, I get the prompts but do not get a "run" or "save" box. I currently have Flash Player 10.0 in my computer. I use Windows 7 in a HP PC.
I'm also having problems using You Tube. Is this related?

Need help installing Flash Player in Mac OSX 10.9.2

I`ve tried everything, my computer is brand new, and it`s driving me crazy. Tried installing, uninstalling, everything. Was able to install a previous version by dragging the .pkg file to the desktop, but when i try to use safari, it disables the program because of security incompatibility. Please if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it, let me know. Exactly at 50% progress, it crashes and a message to close safari appears, but safari is already closed.

Finally Got it!!! Ok, here is what i did: it was a combination of two things i read in different forums.
1st: Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy and in the "allow apps downloaded from: " section, select "Anywhere". There is a file in the installation bundle from adobe that is not recognized as coming from an "identified developer". I then went back to the adobe page and re downloaded most recent flash player. Tried to reinstall it, and again the same problem as before. Stopped at 50% asking to close Safari. So i did the following:
2nd: This time instead of closing Safari by pressing the red button X, I pulled down the safari tab and clicked on exit safari command. Clicked the retry button on the installation window and magic!!!! it worked.
Finally after 5 frustrating hours it worked.... I never thought i would run in to such a problem with a brand new Mac.... with the money i paid for it, would expect much easier performance in the upgrading process.... and compatibility with adobe.... an issue that should have been resolved long ago. I guess its a problem on both sides.... some clearer instructions for upgrade would be greatly appreciated.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following link. Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the file - do not run it yet.
Reboot. Then run the installer before opening any apps.

Need helps installing flash player 9

Stuck in Step 4. See below. I have no idea how to navigate to
the proper directory for the installation. Thanks for helping out!
Appreciate it!!
: ) LG
Step 1. Click the "Download .tar.gz" link. A dialog box will
appear asking you where to save the file.
Step 2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for
the file to download completely.
Step 3. Unpackage the file. A directory called
install_flash_player_9_linux will be created.
Step 4. In terminal, navigate to this directory and type
./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. Click Enter. The
installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).

Need help installing flash player on Kindle Firefox

I found the list and it says use version 2.3 but I cant even find it in the list.

Try the following:
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
download the installer(s)
for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).

I evidently need to install Flash, but having done so, it behaves still as if I didn't. I have the new i7 iMac (and I see from some other forums that Flash installation has been a problem for some time.

I evidently need to install Flash, according to everything animated I've tried to view, but efforts to do so have been unsuccessful (or it's installed but not in the right place? ) I see from forums I've visited that this is an ongoing issue with iMacs--I'm surprised since it's a download on Apple that it just doesn't come with the setup...and why is it so troublesome to do? (Weird for something so basic these days not to come with the newest, fastest, etc. iMac i7...)

If you are hang issues you can try calling AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone support. If they can't figure out the solution you need to contact Adobe, it's their product. Apple has announced they are moving towards HTML5 and away from Flash because it's so antiquated. It is also no-longer pre-installed on OS X so you need to download as you have found out.
You can try some basic resets to see if you can get it to work. I'd first recommend restarting in Safe Mode to clear some caches. If that doesn't work reset both the SMC and PRAM to see if that helps.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
