Problems installing Adobe Flash Player on PowerBook G4, OS 10.5.8.

I have a Mac PowerBook G4, OS 10.5.8. Having trouble downloading the appropraite version of Adobe Flash Player. Have uninstalled, used Adobe Flash Player.pkg, as advised by Chris in a post in September. Still no luck. Error message reads: "The following install step failed: run postflight script for Plugin.". Assistance to rectify this installation problem much appreciated. Thanks!

Problems installing Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.

Can not get my MacBook Pro 17" to install Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125. Our iMac installed it.
The system hangs forever looking for resources

Hopefully, you'll be installing the 14.0.0.145 Flash update very soon - however the same problem you experienced persists with that.
Fortunately there is a simple solution.
There appears to be a problem with Adobe Flash Player Install Manager - the simple answer is to let the system install the flash update instead:
When you use the Flash updater, it downloads a disk image to a temp folder (inside /private/var/folders but you don't need to know that). This is automatically mounted (briefly) while the app 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' launches. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager is supposed to manage the whole instillation but in some case it gets stuck. If this process fails for you (such as hanging on 95% completion), there is a very simple route forward which doesn't require you to open your browser or manually download anything.
It only requires 3 steps and you can be 100% sure you are getting the correct update - the one Adobe tried to install but failed. I've broken these down into detailed but very simple substeps (further down this post) for anybody who is unsure, but experienced users can probably just follow these three steps:
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
Those steps in detail (as carried out in OSX 10.6.8).
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player.pkg)
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X - I use 10.6.8

Having problem installing adobe flash player 11.0.1.152 says close mozilla how do you do this

I have tried several times to install Adobe flash player 11.0.1.152. It keeps stating to shut off Mozilla. How do you shut Mozilla off?

"Ctrl+Shift+Esc" placing you into the Windows Task Manager, you need to be in the in the "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu. (That is a Windows 7 keyboard shortcut not in earlier versions of Windows)
There is a better way of ending Firefox, but it is too late for you to close firefox properly. Full set of directions to check and update flash.
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash

If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and check that it finished via Windows 7 shortcut to WTM "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" in the "Processes" tab make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
#proceed with the install
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.

Some people will have a problem with Hardware acceleration, right-click in the flash area, click in settings..., then see if change setting makes a difference.

Problems installing Adobe Flash Player

G'day,

Problems installing adobe flash player to use with picnick editing on picasa

I want to edit a photo on Picasa.com. To do that, I must install Adobe Flash Player. The flash player has downloaded but does not appear to be installing though I receive a successful installation message. When Picnick did not open, I was directed to a help page but none of the tips made sense to me. Has anybody else with my operating system had and difficulties and then solved them???

Never mind. It seems to be working now. I think I just needed to unblock pop-ups.

Problem installing Adobe Flash Player

The problem I am facing is that I cannot install the newer version of adobe flash player. My current Adobe Flash Player - Version is: 12.0.0.70 and I am working on Windows 7-64bit. After I download the install file from the official site (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_12_for_Other_Browsers&os =Windows%207&browser_type=KHTML&browser_dist=Chrome&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_Chrome_Bro wser&dualoffer=false), I cannot install it any further. The install file will open and after pressing “run” and confirming installation (“yes”) it will show a caption “an error has occurred in the script on this page”. (The errors are not the same everytime.) Any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player for Mac Air (Yosemite)

I got a message saying my Adobe Flash Player was out of date. This seemed strange because I'd been accessing videos within the last hour with no problems. I went ahead and opened the Mac version installer downloaded of the Adobe site. The install started and after inputting an Admin password, the download reached 25% almost immediately. Unfortunately, it's been stuck at 25% since then. I've tried starting over, deleting the download and re-downloading the update with no success. I've also temporarily disabled my AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. I tried to uninstall AFP so I could start over but the box that's supposed to tell me what uninstaller version to download has an error message saying I need to update AFP.
How can I fix this?
Edit: I thought maybe I was downloading an AFP for an earlier OS (I'm running 10.10.2). I made sure to download the latest version of AFP for Mac possible. The install is now stuck at 30%. (Just to be clear, I downloaded the install package with no problem - the issue is with the install program itself pausing at 30%.)
Edit 2: I figured out which uninstall package I needed (using this page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS) but upon reinstalling AFP, it's stuck again at 25% of download.
Edit 3: The message "Connection failed. Trying to reconnect" has appeared, followed quickly by "connection failed". Guess I'll try again.

I've double-checked to make sure that I've selected "Allow Internet Plug-ins" under Safari>Preferences>Security. I've read in other threads that this is one possible solution but it isn't useful to me since I've uninstalled AFP and but I've been unable to reinstall it.
Edit: I'm not sure if Youtube is supported by a different software package but I can watch any videos on that site with no problem.

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on my Computer

Last week I installed Webroot Antivirus and Spy Sweeper on my computer and since then I cannot load my pictures on Facebook or send them to CVS or Walgreens to develop them. I have tried many times to load Adobe Flash Player, followed all instructions and nothing. I am totally frustrated. I waited over an hour on the phone for an Adobe technician and all he could do was direct me to this forum. I have a Dell computer, 32 system. I normally use Windows Explorer as my browser. Can somebody out there help me please?

This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player. I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
Well, bottom line is number
1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there. I can only compare it to Vista.
Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what? I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.

Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on Macbook Pro

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.9.5 and I am trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player Version 16.0.0.235. The flash player shows up in my downloads, but the icon is different that what it is supposed to look like.

I have attached a picture of what the download looks like on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Big problem installing Adobe Flash Player, please help?

Please help. I tried to download Adobe Flash Player 5 times without success. Every time it states Installation succeeded, but I can't find it anywhere.
I have to keep closing and opening Browsers without any reaction of the so called installed Flash Player. What a mess!

Flash is installed as a browser plugin. You won't see it as an app in OS X. If you go here it will tell you if flash is installed and working. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Does anyone have problems installing Adobe Flash Player on their iMac?

I download the proper Version of Adobe Flash Player. I double click and it says it was installed. But it really isn't. I also have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no go. Can anyone help me?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Problems instaling adobe flash player 11

I have been trying to down load adobe flash player 11 ( i have windows internet explore 9 and 32 bit windows Vista ) and it almost downloads but when it gets right down to the very end it tells me i already have the most current adobe flash player downloaded? BUT..... i do not have it downloaded no where on my pc? ive looked in my programs and it is no where? so therefor adobe flashplayer will NOT download.
if anyone has any sugestions id appreciated it!
Thanks

It's not a separate program. It doesn't have an icon or an entry in the start menu. It adds itself to your browser. But you should see 'Flash Player' in your Control Panel.
The Flash Player has nothing to do with Acrobat - this is an Acrobat forum. If you have any more questions I'd recommend looking for the Flash forum.

I've had a problem installing Adobe Flash Player; also with Firefox. Tried to download a new FF; it goes crazy! keeps repeating an opening page! Now I don't have FF installed, or Flashplayer, and I think these problems are connected. Help!

Mac OSX 10.5.8 system. Problems have been ongoing with the Firefox I had installed a while ago: would open browser in Safari, and FF would take over; keep asking me to personalize my browser program. In truth, Firefox was kind of "taking over", and I wasn't happy with it. Usually open the internet in Safari.
Present problems started with trying to download, install and open a few new games. Kept telling me I needed to install Adobe Flashplayer. I could download it, but it wouldn't install. Downloaded both the Flashplayer installer AND the Flashplayer uninstaller a number of times. Today, I decided to get rid of the Firefox on my hard drive and download a newer version - then try again to download Flashplayer and install. The new FF download just kept opening a new browser page.
