Opening Lock on a MAC to download the Flash Player

I have a MAC and can not unlock the lock to download the Flash player.  When I enter my ID and Password it does a little wiggle. I tried my Apple password as I have in the past and it didnt work I then tried my Adobe password and that didn't work either...
Thanks

Hello,
The authentication being asked for is your computer's administrator password.  This should be different from your Apple and Adobe account passwords.

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

  • I cant find the "edit option" button to download the flash player update !!

    i cannot watch any videos and sorts because it says that i have to download the updated version of flash player. but to do this i have to type adobe.com but i cannot find the "edit option" button for me to do this !! helllp !
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i went to watch a video ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

    That "edit option" info is for older versions of Firefox.
    1. You need to use Firefox at the Adobe website to get the NPAPI version of Flash for non-IE browsers.
    Download the Flash plugin from the Adobe [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/ Thank You!] page via:
    '''If it does not start, [http://www.adobe.com/go/fptroubleshoot click here] for troubleshooting information.'''
    On the [http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/support/index.html troubleshooting page] click the link at the bottom:
    If you are still having problems, [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe click here to download].
    Save it to your Desktop.
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed,
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

  • Found out last night that i couldnt watch a live stream confetence because i couldnt download the flash player. why does apple not allow to do that and is there an alternative way other than flash player?

    found out i couldnt watch a live stream coference because apple wont allow to download adobie flash player. why is this and is there a way around it to be able to catch more of live stream in future.?

    In the future, there won't be any Flash. Adobe, who makes it, has cancelled future versions for mobile devices like the iPad:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/
    You should check if there is another way to get the live stream. For example, I sometimes watch online classes on a site that uses Flash for the video. But they also provide a non-Flash video stream that can be watched in an iPhone or iPad web browser, and an iOS app that you can also use to watch the stream.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A100 - Cannot download the Flash player to watch flash movies

    Hi
    I am having problems trying to download flash player to my laptop.
    It just wont work. So I can't watch any videos.
    It is driving me crazy.
    I dont' know much about laptops.
    I have tried to recover and still no flash player.

    Hi
    I dont know why you cannot download and install the Flash Player but you should definitely check the Adobe website:

    I have downloaded and installed the flash player from this site and it worked!

  • About downloading the flash player

    Hello! Having problems with downloading the Adobe flash player. I used to have it in my computer - my system is Windows 32-bit, English, Firefox - but it got out-dated and my mom removed it (we tried to update it but everytime we tried to install new flash player we got message that "you can only use one instance". We though that removing old player would be answer). Still, everytime I try to download Adobe flash player I get this message "you can only use one instance". What should I do, I only have Adobe reader in my computer? Thanks beforehand for your help!

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
    If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • Download the Flash Player.

    How do I close the Internet Explorer and continue to download the new Flash Player?

    If you don't see Internet Explorer on the task bar, you can open your task manager and look for iexplorer.exe entries in the process tab.  Right click each one and select "end process".  When they have all been closed, try installing again.

  • I see that, it seems, everyone is having trouble with Firefox 6.0.2 and Adobe Flash 10.3. It's nice not to be alone, but is there an answer? My problem is I am continually asked to download the flash player. So how do I solve this situation?

    Whenever I open PDF it informs me that Adobe Flash Player is not found. When I check the box to add it, I am taken to Firefox and given a choice to add it to Explorer or other systems. I have chosen both in the past and added it more than a few times. My system is XP service pack 3, already installed Flash Player 10.3.181.34 and Firefox 6.0.2. In checking your web site I see that others are having this problem too. I did not see how to solve it. Is there an answer?

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Can't even download the flash player installer

    I can't even see the page to download the installer for flash player, I've tried using different browsers, chrome and IE (Chrome has same issue, IE just says flash is built in), Firefox, my main browser, has this issue, and I haven't tried installing Opera yet.
    My OS is Windows 10 Technical Preview. All browsers are fresh installs after upgrading, thus saying, they are as up to date as possible.
    this is the issue in picture format..
    As you can see, there's nothing there, just blank space. I've even tried checking the source, but there's nothing I can see wrong, other than no content. I just don't know what to do.
    Edited to add operating system.

    Hi Jackie,
    Thank you for including the OS version in your post.  I will forward this to the folks who handle the download page.
    In the mean time, the offline installers are posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html page, in the 'Still having problems' section.  Since you indicate Firefox is your main browser you'll want to download th installer for Firefox browsers.  Microsoft began embedding Flash Player in Internet Explorer with Windows 8, and it can only be updated via an update to Internet Explorer, which Microsoft releases.   Chrome also embeds Flash Player and Google updates Flash Player in Chrome whenever there is a release.  So again, no need to install a separate plugin for it.
