Ongoing problem with flash player and FF..cannot install adobe Flash 11 with FF 16
I have tried everything.
I cannot install any Adobe flash product
I was using Flash 10 and suddenly it stopped working.
this happened before..several times in fact.
I delete and re install but this tim it still crashed.
so I decided to try Flash 11... windows 8 won't even let me run the installer.
when I try to install it as a FF plug in it fails.
sends me to do it manually.
manually means using the installer program which Windows 8 won,t let me run
I am stuck.
Is there an alternative to adobe flash player?
because I am tired of this.
if there is no alternative, then I will fins another browser.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Cannot install Adobe Flash...at all!
I have seen many different versions of this question asked...nothing seems to fit my situation. I have tried all of the troubleshooting techniques. Nothing seems to work.
I am operating a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.4 with Firefox 31.0 (default browser) and Safari 7.0.6.
I have been prompted to update Adobe Flash multiple times over the past few months, but I can't! I have tried using both browsers. I have tried with Firewall on AND off. I have tried at different times during the day AND evening. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Flash altogether, including the plug-in. Nothing. I have tried the offline installer. To no avail. I have tried every suggestion and route out there, and have come up with a big fat ZERO.
So, now I have no Flash at all, and it refuses to download whatsoever. I'm talking 0% with the spinning beach ball of death until it just quits with a download error.
WHAT THE H*LL DO I HAVE TO DO?!?!?! I'm dying here!Hi Mark,
Thank you for posting the screenshots. They're helpful. I apologize for the installation issues you're having using the online installer. I'd like to get the install log file for the online installer, however, this requires running the installer from the Terminal. If you're comfortable running apps from the Terminal, we'd really appreciate it if you could provide the log file (instructions below). If not, and you just want to get Flash Player installed (totally understandable), a link to the help page that contains the offline installer is posted below.
To obtain the online installer log file:
Download the online installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
Mount the DMG (double-click the downloaded file) and extract Install Adobe Flash Player.app to a local folder (e.g. desktop)extract by clicking on the .app and dragging it onto the Deskop (or some other folder)
Open LaunchPad and in the top search window type Terminal, click the app icon to open the Terminal application
In Terminal, change directories to where Install Adobe Flash Player.app is saved to (step 2), type: cd <location to file in step 2>
e.g. If Install Adobe Flash Player.app is saved to the desktop, type: cd /Users/labuser/Desktop, where 'labuser' is your user ID.
At the prompt, type:
./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player -debug - file
When prompted, enter the password you use to log in to your machine
Go back to back to the location where Install Adobe Flash Player.app is saved to (step 2)
Right-click on Install Adobe Flash Player.app and select Show Package Contents
In the window that displays, navigate to Contents/MacOS
Obtain the host.develop.log file.
Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
The link to download the offline installer is posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac help page.

I am trying to fix a blocked plug-in. I unstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot re install. Any help would be appreciated.
More info. Why can't you reinstall? Something is preventing reinstalling? If so what? What occurs when you try?
Or you don't know how to reinstall? -
I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.
Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too. -
I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. I have windows 7 64bit and firefox browser. During install i get a message 'lost connection', followed by 'trying to reconnect', and then connection failed
Many thanks for this! I managed to install the Flash Player with this successfully after many failed attempts before.
Thanks again

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video? (Powerpoint Presentation 2013)
You asked your question on the wrong forum. Try one for the Flash Player

Browser out of date and can't install Adobe Flash Player
My browser is out of date according to everything I am visiting. I can't post pictures on twitter, some of the videos I watch have blocked plug-ins, and I can't install adobe flash player. My computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.4, and I would like to keep Safari. Can someone direct me to where I get the newest version of Safari and why I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. I have installed, uninstalled, and done everything I know to do to get this problem resolved. Next step is take it to the Apple store as I am not a tech person. Thanks for any assistance.
Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Upgrade further:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -

I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?
Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately. -

Cannot install adobe flash player 10 on my windows xp
i cannot install the adobe fash player 10 on my windows xp, the promblem is not installing it the problem is the player taking effect. i have downloaded the player both the plugin and activeX, but after i install them i go to youtube.com search up a video, the screen for the video says to get a turn on java and get a newer version of flash player. i did all the security things in troubleshooting all what i needed but nonthing, i have uninstalled and installed over and over, all i need to do is this to vvach all my videos, and the compture went throught a cleane up a few days ago 215 viruses removed and all the updates, java, ect. was removed, i have goten all of them back except flash player, i tryed to install 8 then 9 then 10 but nonthing, please if you can help me help me please, thank you.
ok, our posts crossed.
The first thing you need to do is remove the Google and Yahoo Tool bars. After you have successfully installed Flash Player 10, then you can decide if you want to add them back.
You say you are running with add ons disabled, but the status is enabled? Please explain.
The latest Uninstaller and Installer will both be downloaded directly to your desktop and not from where you downloaded before.
This is the lastest way that Adobe has suggested that will have a better degree of success.
Just a FYI... The Adobe forum here is going to be shut down starting at 8PM Pacific Time for 2 hours. They have an announcement up but just thought I would mention it in case you didn't see it.
Since Uninstalling & Installing may take some time, you may want to wait until tomorrow to start it, since the site here will be down for awhile.
Just clarify the add on info, though.
Thanks -
Cannot Install Adobe Flash Player 11
I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 onto a my computer but it just goes to 95% and locks up.
I am using Windows XP Pro- version 5.1, service pack 3
Enternet Explorer 8- version 8.0.6001.187.02
The computer had a working copy of Adobe Flash 10X and Adobe Air on it. When I could not get the Player 11 to install (went to 95% then locked). I tried to un-install both the Flash 10X and Air, but they would not un-install (sent auto. error reports to microsoft). So I used a pro un-installer program to uninstall them both, but the un-installer could not delete the "windows/system32/atmfd.dll" file. Tried to un-install the atmfd.dll file manually but only get the "cannot delete atmfd: Access denied" error.
I have tried clearing all my browser cookies, history, ect., stop my anti-viruse program, ran a register repair program, and re-booting my computer, then running the Adobe Flash Un-install Program (which always shows that the fash program is completly un-installed) and re-running the Adobe Flash 11 install program again.
Same thing, the installer goes to 95% and locks up to the point that the only way to stop the installer program is to reboot my computer.
What can I do to get this Adobe Flash 11 installed, as since I removed the old Flash 10X program I no longer have any Adobe Flash? Which I do need.Ok, here is what I had to do to get the Adobe Flash 11 to install.
(1. Run the Adobe un-install program from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
(2. Go in c:/windows/system32 and delete the Macromedia folder
(3. Run a register repair program to fix any register errors.
(4 Go in c:/Documents and Settings/Application Data and delete the Macromedia folder
(5 Go in c:/Documents and Settings/Application Data/Adobe and delete the Flash Player folder
(6 Go to Adobe.com and run the standard Adobe Flash 11 install program (the offline installer's at the Adobe site listed above would not run after I deleted the Documents and Settings/Application Data folders, for some reason)
(7 When it got to Finish, allow it to auto. open a CMD screen and then answered Y to both questions.
This is how I got it to complete the install and not lock up at 95%. For some reason the Adobe un-install program was not removing the Documents and Settings Adobe Flash Player programs and these are what were locking up the install program. -
I have my first ipad. It is the mini version. I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player". Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???
You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store. -
