Need to install DVD Player

I have a 733 Quicksilver G4 desktop running OS X 10.3.9. My Mac shipped with a CD drive. I recently replaced it with a DVD drive. Very nice, except I don't have DVD Player and can't watch DVD movies.
I have my OS X installation disk, but I can't find any way to install DVD player. I can't find anywhere to download it, only updates. I can't even find anywhere to purchase it. This seems a basic part of the OS, how can I get it!?
I have tried many DVD players available for download. They all are terrible.
I tried burning DVD Player from my Powerbook to a CD, but my desktop computer puts up some nonsensical splash screen when I try to run the copy, like "DVD Player is a part of OS X" and then it won't launch. I even tried changing the name, but it still knew what it was.
Help! How can I get DVD Player on my Mac!
733 Quicksilver G4 Powermac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks! Pacifist is quite a nice little app. I was able to succesfully extract DVD Player 3.1.1, but it won't launch. It bounces once in my dock and then quits.
And just you helpful people know, I found a handy little knoweldge base article titled DVD PLAYER IS NOT INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER. http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n151943
It lists some specs that you must have on your computer, and suggests that if you don't have them, that is why you don't have DVD player. Only problem, my computer meets the requirements, and no solution is provided.
I have been all up and down software downloads at apple and can't find anyway to update DVD Player 3.1.1 without going to Tiger. I am at 10.3.9. I even redownloaded several of the incremental updates like 10.3.5, 10.3.8, 10.3.9 and nosed around in them with Pacifist. The text said they contained DVD Player updates, but not so. There were folders in there called DVD Framework, but no DVD Player pacakges.
Any thoughts on how to get DVD Player 3.1.1 working on my Mac? Any help appreciated.

Re-Installing DVD Player (Panther)

Hello: I need to re-install DVD Player into my Panther OS laptop. I can not find it in my Panther OS discs. I can not find it at Apple Downloads ... only for Tiger OS and Jaguar OS. Thank-you, MLR

I can not find it in my Panther OS discs.
It's on there, but you can't install it by itself using the Installer. However, there is a utility called Pacifist that allows installation of individual "packages" that are on the Mac OS X Installation Disk.

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.

You need to check with Window to see what alternative they have for Windows phone to use in place of Flash Player.

Re-installing DVD player and iBooks app?

I recently deleted certain apps like DVD player, game centre etc as i didn't ever use them but I'm getting some little issues now.
When i open FaceTime an error message comes up saying its from the DVD player app.
I also have a blank Game Centre app icon in my Apps folder.
I imagine i need to re-install them. Any ideas how?
Also id like to be able to read my ibooks on my mac... is there an app for Mavericks?
Thanks

thanks. is there anything i need to consider or backup before i do that?
Just all of your data. The restore shouldn't delete anything or cause you to lose any data, but it is not something you want to start without a backup.
Also... how easy is it to do?
Pretty easy: OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

Installing DVD player

I recently bought a DVD that i wanted to play on my computer. I havent used the DVD player for several years. I put it in and it ejected itself. I did a search for DVD player, and i found it in the OS 9 applications folder. I also looked in my OSX applications folder and there was no DVD player. I think it might have gotten lost during my upgrading process to OSX. I need a current DVD player

Hello! If the machine had the dvd drive in it when OSX was loaded it should have installed the DVD player. Do you know the drive is working? Does it mount a cd ok? You can use Pacifist to "extract" the DVD player app from the Panther Install cd's. Tom

Some malicious site try to get you to install malware by saying yo have to update Flash.
Only update Flash via Adobe's site.
What version of Flash is currently installed?
In System Preferences they may be an entry for Flash in Lion. I do not remember. There is for Yosemite

Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2. Rebooted the laptop.
3. Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4. After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6. Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.
Kelvin

We are getting a pop up that says we need to install flash player plug in. we tried everything, nothing works

we can't play any games. it says we need to install additional plug in, for flash player. when we attempt to install, it says we already have the newest version installed. but nothing works. can not find the install anywhere. we had a computer person working on it and she could not figure it out. she tried everything. Do we need to uninstall firefox and reinstall it?

Could you review your plugins list and see which (if any) Adobe/Shockwave plugins you have now:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
When you go to the following download page and choose "Flash Player 11 for Other browsers" and download the installer, what is the actual name of the file that gets saved?
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Mine's called "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe"
Occasionally software installs are not completed until you restart Windows. You might want to try that at some point if you haven't already.
Adobe has a cleanup tool described in this article where you can scrub out all Flash versions and start again. [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
I do not recommend uninstalling Firefox.
You can refresh your Firefox installation or update to Firefox 20 by running the Firefox installer. You do not need to remove the old version first. You can get that download here:

How to find/install dvd player?

G4, 10.5.8. Stupidly downloaded a disk cloner from web and wiped out a fair amount of my applications including dvd player. I had backed-up with TM but after restarting from the 10.5 install disk withy TM running I didn't see restore as an option. So I reinstalled iLife from the disk and updated iTunes, found a driver for my HP printer etc. But DVD player is gone and the downloads I tried from Apple always give an error message and quit when I launch them after installation. Any ideas apart from a complete reinstall of 10.5.8?

Thanks for the help. I misread the instructions on Pacifist at first, couldn't get it to work on the update pkg and decided to simply install the combined upgrade. Took a long time, hung up at the end, worrsiome moments when I finally had to power off, but all was well. However, DVD player still gave an error message.
Then inserted the 10.5 install disk and used Pacifist to extract the DVD Player and replace the defective copy. Now it works, so it appears that the update package, unlike the install disk, simply contains a DVD player that is defective.
All is well now, more or less, except a few hours wasted.
Many thanks for the advice

Need to Install flash player on iPad

Hi,
I want to install flash player on iPad .
But when i go on adobe site for downloading flash player it should say.
Flash Player is not available for your device.
Apple restricts use of technohlogies required by products like adobe@ Flash@ player.
Untill adobe eliminate restriction adobe not provide flash player for iphone , ipad touch.
Can any one help me on this situation ? i want to run my applicaiton on iPad.
I think before that apple is agree to support flash player on ios devices.
Thanks,
Mohit.

Hi, with Packager for iPhone you can export your Flash Actionscript 3 app as a native iOS application so there is no need of Flash support on iPad.
I suggest you to start by reading some info about packager:

What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

You do not need an Adobe ID to download Flash Player. However, your operating system may prompt you for a userid & password during the installation of Flash Player. That userid & password is the administrator password of your system.
Windows:
During the initial installation of Windows, a built-in Administrator account is automatically generated. The person who installs Windows will be prompted to supply a password for the Administrator account.
There may be more than one account with administrator privileges. When installing Flash Player (or Adobe Reader), the operating system will ask you to provide a userid & password with administrator privileges.
Mac OS:
When you FIRST turn on your Mac you are asked to choose an administrator password. You need that later when you install or update software. To install or update Flash Player (or Adobe Reader) you need that administrator password.

A little more detail for Mac users:
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:
