Neither Reader nor Flash Player will download on my mac

Every time I try to start up the installation on my computer they always stop at a certain percent--so far it's been 40%, 44%, and 25%
I can leave my computer for hours and it still won't move.
I've gone through all the troubleshooting already, and I've made sure my browsers are closed each time
Help!!

Try un-installing and then re-installing.

So you want help, or just annoy us?
If you want help, then post any relevant information, i.e. your operating system & version, browser & version, plus any other information we don't know.
I do not understand "I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ALMOST ONCE AN HOUR."

Flash Player will download, but won't install.

I uninstalled Flash Player with Adobe's Uninstaller, and attempted to reinstall Flash Player. The .exe downloads just fine, but when I run it, it gives me this error message:
ABORT: Assertion failed (WebBrowser -> WebBrowserObject != NULL)

I use Windows 7, FireFox 32, and am trying to install the latest version of Flash. What is the problem?

I was unable to see any kind of Flash content on this page when inspecting the page source.
I would ensure that your server is serving the correct mime-type for .swf files (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that you were using a recommended method for embedding the SWF into the page, like SWFObject: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small…

TS2662 Adobe flash player will download but if try and use it, it keeps telling the latest version must be downloaded.

I am haveing a frustrating time with my Imac, bought at christmas this year, just this week the mouse has started to freeze while trying to move the pointer, If i lift the mouse off the surface and hold if for a couple of seconds I can then put it back down and pointer can be moved another short distance, the scroll function on the mouse works all the time though, replaced batteries, turned computer off and on a number of times, no luck.
Thanks

It's best to focus on one issue at a time ... the Adobe Flash and mouse issues probably are not related.
Flash:
Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not.
Mouse: If what you describe is repeatable, take the mouse into an Apple store and see if it's the problem. If it is, it's under warranty, get a new one.

Flash Player Will Not install on Mac.

I receive a message that the latest version of Adobe Flash Player is required to view certain pages such as you tube or news websites. I have tried to download numerous times to no avail. Contacted support and they directed me here. I cannot repair the disc in utilities as the option is not highlighted .

What happens when you try - do you get an error message?
Have you tried the installer from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html ?

Safari or flash player will not work now that I have downloaded mountain lion

I just upgraded to mountain lion and now when I open chrome or safari it will shut down with in a few sec. Also on firefox the flash player will not work. I have downloaded the latest version and it still does not work

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so. I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
Link to full installer version of player?
I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
Thanks

The installer works for the vast majority of people. We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people. We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out. There's something underneath us that's not working right. With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows. My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
Switch to Google Chrome.
Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain. Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

How to download Adobe Acrobat Reader & Adobe Flash Player without install?

Hello!
I have over 100 computers without connect to Internet. How can I get installation files without automatic install to the current computer?!

Hi, With this link, you should be able to SAVE the Installer to the Desktop. Just be sure to reject any extras like Toolbars, McAfee, etc.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
With Flash Player you can also SAVE the Installers to the Desktop:

I hope this is what you need.

Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

I have windows vista. When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...). I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website. I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times. It even shows up in my list of programs. But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it. Very frustrating. And suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was very helpful - thank you. I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE. a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself! Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward. Thanks!

Flash Player will not install - OSX 10.9.5 w/ Firefox 34.0.5

I know this question has been asked before, but since no one seems to have an answer for it I have no choice but to ask again.
I was having trouble posting scores on a gaming website. The game ran fine, and I could log in successfully, but my scores never showed on the player list. The help section of the site suggested uninstalling / reinstalling Flash Player. I was having trouble with Flash elsewhere so I thought I'd give it a try. The uninstall was successful but now Flash will not reinstall. Now instead of a malfunctioning Flash Player I have no Flash Player at all.
The install process goes as it should - the installer uploads to my desktop, I open it, I get the "Adobe Flash Player Installer" window, I double-click in the icon, I'm asked if I'm "sure I want to open it," I click "open," I enter my administrator password, then comes the problem. The next pop-up window has a black background and for about 1/2 second you can see the words "Retrieving Install" and a loading progress bar, then the words disappear and you're left looking at the blank black box. That's it.
I have Ghostery, Lightbeam, and HTTPS Everywhere add-ons on Firefox. I turned Ghostery off through this process.
Thanks in advance.

Well, good news. I solved it. And it's beyond bizarre that no one has suggested this.
Nested deep, deep, in the the help section is this:
Still having problems?
If you are still having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player, try downloading the installer directly from the following sites:
Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
Flash Player for Opera and Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI
Apparently Adobe doesn't have a copy of its own software that works? Ridiculous but true. You actually have to download it from your browser's website.
Adobe, you all seriously need to get your act together.

Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

When adobe flash player will be available?

When adobe flash player will be available?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
