Problems installing Flash player on Mac running Yosemite. [was: Help please?]

I am trying to install the latest version of flash player and it is not working correctly. When I click on the installer it gives me a window full of code. If I try to open the installer through disk utility I can click on the installer and type in my password. After that the installer window comes up but there is nothing on it. It is just a blank grey screen. I have a mac and am operating yosemite.

Hello,
I am not familiar with the behaviour you are experiencing. Are you using the shim installer or the full installer (shim installer is about 1.6 MB in size, while the full installer is about 14 MB in size)?
Please provide a screenshot of the installation window with the code using the instructions here, How to share a document.

Problems installing flash player on mac

I try to install the new flash player as it says mine is out of date and it starts the process and then says that safari needs to be closed to work so i close it and retry and it says the same thing. Please help!!

It is not enough to close the Safari window; you need to quit the Safari process.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac. But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed. I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up. All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using. Please help. Thank you.

Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old. What Mac OS are you using? I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

Problems installing flash player. Learner

I am experienceing problems installing flash player. I go to the adobe website and install the program and I am told it has been successfully installed. No flash player icon apppears on my desktop. When I press the windows start icon and click on "all programs" there is no evidence of the flash player. However when I click on" my computer" icon and go into uninstall/change the flash player program is there.I have spent quite some time installing, uninstalling and installing again without success
I am using windows Vista. I am also using Kaspsersky Internet security. It is a private computetr so I do not think I need administrators permission. I have tried installing flash player using both interner explorer and Mozilla firefox.Please can anyone help. Many thanks.

Shane, since you must be having problems getting a thread started, I'll just go ahead and try to help you here.
Use IE and go to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. It should tell you sp1 or sp2.
Also using IE, go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and look in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object. Let me know if it is Enabled and if it is version 10.0.45.2 or says Flash10e.ocx.
Then switch over to FF (Firefox) and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
Post this info back to me.
Thanks,

Can't install Flash player on mac os 10.8.4

I can't install Flash player on mac os 10.8.4 (Safari). The adobe help tells me I've installed version 11.8.800.94 - but the player is nowhere to be found...

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

I can't install flash player on MAC

I can't install flash player on MAC
give me error after program download on MAC as me to put my user ID and password
I try to put but always give me error

@douglasbell2
The dialog window requesting the password is an OS dialog window, it is not a Flash Player window. I understand the confusion, but we can't modify a system dialog window with additional information.
@jongenelen
If you're system does not have a password, you should be able to continue the installation with out it. Ignore the password field and click the OK button. If your system does have a password and you don't recall what it is, I recommend Googling something like "reset lost os x password". This search returns many results, and some vary depending on the OS version.

Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

Hello
I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer! All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Monika

Hello
the shockwave animation is not playing; and then this:
Adobe Flash Player
You need the latest Flash Player and JavaScript enabled to view this content.
PS, I followed the Tech Notes on troubleshooting installation of flash player for mac intel computers, to the letter, but no change!
Thank you

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 .

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 w/Safari. Ran uninstaller. In troubleshooting guide, no version comes up in the box, and no error message. I have unblocked cookies and pop-ups. No firewall. Still, the download bar runs to completion, and then nothing. Help?
UPdate: called my local Apple Geek, and he said go to finder, click on adobe download, and go from there. Got the install icon, and its installed. 2 minutes versus the 2 hours I spent on the Adobe troubleshooting page. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or have a beer. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck.

I have tried about twenty times to install the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac. I had Adobe malware previously when responding to a fake popup Adobe update request.
In orfer to install now I am asked to disable my anti virus. If I do it would be permanent. I get the Adobe download and installer and even see I have an installed version in a box on the Adobe page but cannot access pdf's that require the player.
Mac OSX 10;6.8

Unable to install Flash Player on Mac mini

Hi Folks! You all have probably encountered this question before...so here goes. I own a mid 2010 Mac mini running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Had Adobe Flash player running fine then was prompted to upgrade (text read "Your Flashplayer is outdated") Attempted the installation but it kept failing with an error: "Unable to proceed with the installation. Previously when it ran successfully, I first remembered reading and "accepting" the terms and conditions and clicking on the "accept" box...this dialogue was curiously absent overtime the installation was unsucessful. Any ideas? Suggestions? I need HELP!!!
Thanks,
Tony
