OS X Mavericks Flash Download Problems

I am having major issues trying to update the flash player on my Mac. Whenever I try to use the update provided online, it starts the installation but the bar stays frozen at 0% until the application stops responding and I have to force quit.
My problem is compounded when I try to download the uninstaller or offline installer because I have Matlab on my computer. The uninstaller and offline installer are downloaded as files that will only open in Matlab. I was wondering if anybody knew how to make these files open/download without linking to Matlab, so I can try to fix my flash player.
Thanks!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Shockwave Flash Downloading Problem

    I am using a very slow dialup internet connection.  What takes most only minutes to download takes me all day.  I run a Windows XP Pro SP3 operating system and a Firefox 35.0.1 browser.  My main problem is that with your downloader/installer I can't maintain a download connection from Adobe long enough to download any version of Shockwave Flash.  Firefox recently updated and now the Shockwave Flash plugin needs to be updated but it says the update has been blocked so I went to Adobe to try and get the update downloaded.  It seems I am forced to use the Adobe downloader/installer instead of the one I normally use (DownloadThemAll). How can I get the update?

  • Adobe Flash download problem

    I'm unable to download Adobe Flash. I have Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, activeX filtering is unchecked.When I click the "open" box nothing happens and when I click the "save" box it says unable to download.

    do you mean to say you are trying to download the adobe flash player?
    if so, try a manual download and install: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    when i download any file it works frequently and downloading start in a second but when i pause the downloading file & after some time when i open it,The downloading not start proper and after some time a message flash 'download error' source file could not be read please try again later or contact the server administrator.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it.  There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab.  I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted.  It didn't fix the problem.  Any more ideas?

  • Adobe Flash download stops working after I press run. It worked fine with Explorer before I went to Forefox

    error message reads " adobe flash download has stopped working. Windows will notify you if there is a fix" or something like that. I have tried to download about 10 times over 3 days. I need help. I transferred over to Firefox just this week from IE. I had no problems with Adobe with that program. But I cannot download it onto Firefox. Very frustrating. I have Windows Vista on this laptop.

  • Mavericks wont download on my 2009 mac book

    mavericks wont download on my mac

    I had similar problems trying to upgrade from 10.7.5 to Mavericks: the Mavericks icon was greyed out and the Download wasn't proceeding.  This solution worked for me:
    I figured out that the download was paused by going to the Launchpad, and finding the Mavericks icon, which said "Paused" underneath it (even though I don't recall pausing it myself).  I then held my mouse down on the Mavericks icon until it started shaking, and then clicked the little 'x' to abort the download.  I then went and plugged my MacBook Air directly into an ethernet cable, in order to have a much faster connection to the web, and restarted the download within the App Store.  Again, the 'OS X Mavericks' listing in the Purchases section of the App Store turned gray, but in the Launchpad view, it showed 'Downloading' underneath the Mavericks icon and the available disk space (as viewed in the Finder window) was slowing decreasing.
    I think the App Store is a bit buggy: it should properly indicate when it is actively downloading Mavericks, and should have a progress meter.  It should also indicate when a download has been paused.  The App Store should provide the ability to abort/restart/pause downloads.
    The key to solving this was the realization that I could abort/restart the download via the Launchpad. The other key was not trying to download via the slower WiFi connection, but instead using the much faster Ethernet connection.

  • Is it any Official release maverick to download other than the App store??

    i live in PAKISTAN so in PAKI app stor maverick isnt download or upgrade yet. plz suggest me other download link, torrent wich having official maverick file. then further idownload it and enjoyyy...

    ok... got it JP
    The problem with using any copy of Mavericks (or Lion or Mountain Lion for that matter) is that not only is it illegal, but if you do not download it using your own Apple ID, then you will forever have trouble getting updates and support.
    Maybe it is just a matter of time until it reaches your App Store. You can always contact Apple and ask.
    Cheers and good luck

  • Garageband 10.0.1 & Mavericks - Kein Download von Kursen möglich...

    Garageband 10 & Mavericks - Kein Download von Kursen möglich...
    Ich kann keine Gitarrenkurse mehr downloaden.
    Egal ob ich alle oder einen einzelnen wähle.
    Hat da jemand eine Idee?!

    Gibt es evtl. eine Möglichkeit, wieder auf das Alte Garageband umzusteigen?
    GarageBand 6.0.5 sollte noch installiert sein. Der installer löscht es nicht, sondern verschiebt es nur in einen separaten Order "GarageBand 6.0.5". Es kann mit der Bibliothek arbeiten, die für GarageBand 10.0 installiert wurde. Das einzige Problem ist, das Projekte, die mit GarageBAnd 10 geööfnet wurden, nicht mehr mit GarageBand 6.0.5 geöffnet werden können.
    Für GarageBand 10.0 sollten alle Loops, Instrumente, Gitarrenkurse, die schon mal für das alte GarageBand installiert waren, wieder runtergeladen werden können, indem man das Kommando: "GarageBand > Einkäufe wieder herunterladen (oder so ähnlich...)" ausführt.
    Dann die Kastration des "Officebereiches
    Da gibt es Hoffnung, siehe:
    About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility
    So, nun ist sie wieder da die "tolle" Fehlermeldung.
    GarageBand konnte den Download nicht abschließen. Prüfen Sie die Internetverbindung und starten Sie den Download neu.
    Diese Fehlermeldung kann irreführend sein. Sie kann auch gegeben werden, wenn der AppStore die Transaktion abgelehnt hat, z.B. wegen der Sicherheitsfragen.
    Manchmal ist es aber eine kurzfristige Unterbrechung, wenn Apples Server überlastet ist.

  • My iPhone is not receiving mail but these messages continue to flash at the bottom of the screen:  Checking for messages, Updated just now, checking for messages, etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received

    My iPhone is not receiving mail but the following messages continue to flash over and over at the bottom of the screen:  "Checking for messages, Updated just now, Checking for messages", etc.  After a minute or so it will flash downloading 1 - 32 messages but nothing is received and then the "Checking for Messages," etc. starts back again.   I turned the phone off for 30+ minutes and also tried to reset it, but the problem continues.   Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • When did these flash player problems begin?

    So, I had a computer running Win98 and IE6, which worked
    great until Flash Player 8 autodownloaded about 4 months ago,
    causing the beginning of an extreme headache. Several
    communications with Adobe support (they eventually stopped
    responding) over several weeks went nowhere None of the fixes
    suggested by them, nor the ones here worked. Countless manhours led
    me to think it was time to bite the bullet, buy a new computer. So,
    as of two months ago I have a new computer running XP and IE6 with
    SP2. I didn't know it until today, when I started having crashes,
    but I have Flash Player 7.0.19.0. When i go to Adobe's Test page,
    both Shockwave and Player windows show the animations (and no
    crash).
    On certain pages, which I believe have flash content, I get
    the "IE has experienced a problem and must close" message. It
    specifically mentions the flash.ocx file as the offender. It is
    repeatable when visiting certain pages.
    So, before I jump into the abyss of attempting to fix this, I
    am wondering when these types of problems began. I have been using
    Windows and IE since 1998 with no trouble until this year. I hoped
    moving to a new computer would solve my Flash compatibility
    problems. Could the root problem be new types of spyware, etc that
    change something in the registry? Some of the fixes suggested by
    Adobe were regarding keys changed in the registry. Unfortunately
    those fixes didn't work (in Win98).
    Finally, does anyone know if attempting to fix flash player
    under XP is any easier than 98? Also, I will admit I may have
    visited some sites recently that downloaded some adware, etc. Any
    suggestions on cleaning that may solve the flash player problem? I
    know this post is all over the map - I don't know where to begin...
    Thanks in advance, Don

  • How do I use the Flash downloader add-on on a web page?

    I downloaded Firefox because I thought it included a Flash downloader automatically. I have now added what I believe to be the Flash download add-on, but I can't see how it works. I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit on a PC.

    You should ask on the support site for your downloader software.
    If that is RealPlayer related make sure you keep the software up-to-date, it has had issues where firefox/realplayer/flashplayer caused conflicts or crashes.
    Note some FlashPlayer content will not be intended to be downloadable.

  • I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

    I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

    No reason to be embarassed. You are not alone.
    You will need an external drive. If you have a Time Machine drive without enough disk space you can create the clone there however it's advised that you keep your Time Machine and clone on separate drives. If the drive dies you loose both types of backup.
    Download and install the clone software. Everyone has their favorite. These are the two most common applications used. I prefer SuperDuper because of it's simplicity in setting up. It's also free for the first clone where with CCC you have to give a Credit Card then cancel if you do not want to keep.
    SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    CCC http://www.bombich.com/download.html
    Select your drive in the To popup. Click on Copy Now. That's it.
    Yes, it really is that simple....
