Problems installing new Adobe Flash Player

Several web sites that I visit give the message that I need to update my
Adobe Flash Player. I go to the Adobe site and download the update and
go through the install, but when I go back to the page saying that I need
to update the flash player it still says that I need to update. What am I doing
wrong or what do I need to do differently?

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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing Flash Player, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

Cannot install new adobe flash player, download tells me to turn firefox off, i can't figure out how to do this. i get this message even when i try from your request to upload new program. karen miller

please help i found some info but it's too high tech for me to understand example go taskmaster>processes tab exit firefox.exe. can't even figure out where this is! if firefox is going to control upgrades then there should be a less frustrating way to achieve this!!! please advise my next step is uninstall firefox & use another internet program.

Firefox must not be open when the Flash installer is run. Use the following information and instructions.....
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Having Trouble Installing new adobe flash player

I have tried to download the newest version a dozen times. I have uninstalled everything relating to flash player, and then I close ALL MY PROGRAMS, but for some reason, when I go to install it, I get an error message telling me that it couldn't install because an error occured, because something is using adobe or flash or whatever. Which I don't understand. It should be impossible if I've unistalled the thing! Any suggestions?

Try the following
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
download the plugin installer from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html and save it to disk;
close all browser windows, as well as any messenger applications, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
check C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (if your Windows is 32-bit) or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit) if there are any files left;
now run the downloaded installer.

You posted in the Acrobat.com Developers forum. I think you have a much better chance to get answers if you ask in the Flash Player forum. And give them some details: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195540

I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

I have always been able to watch videos on line. Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos. When I try to download it won't do it.

Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
IMO 10.6 would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8.
Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
 Most commonly used backup methods explained
Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

Problems with the Adobe Flash Player

Hi
I`m trying to install the Adobe Flash Player, but, after I download the App and click, a text appear instead of the installer app. What is happening?

Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Installing the adobe flash player

I have not installed the adobe flash player because it says I might have to disable my virus safety net during the download process. I do not want to put my computer at risk for a virus at any time. How can I access the flash player without having to disable my virus safety net?

Depending what antivirus software you use, you may not need to do that. Some very aggressive AV may prevent Flash Player from being installed; most however do not.
Tell us more about your OS and AV, and someone will tell you what to do.

Because I have to install the Adobe Flash Player Active X or Normal?

Hello All, Fisrs, forgive my English because I am Spanish.
I can think of something funny to me. I have installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X and I have Explorer 8 ( 32 bits ) , Windows Vista home Premium and every day asking me to install the Flash Player.
Happens if install the same to Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5, in the same version yo have.
I see that every day, if I look at the progras I have istalled , see this Adobe Flas Player ( active X or normal ) with a blanc icon, not the typical figure of the program.
Not to do so the program gets installed forever. When yo reinstall it and the icon's own sotware.
I really apreciate it that I help them see than hapening and how I can solve. Thank you very match.
Grettings.
Imma

Hello and thank you
I am attaching a photo of what I have in the Flash folder you indicate, as a photo:
If it not attached the link see large:http://imageshack.us/f/840/sinflashejecutat.jpg/
And then run the Flash every day . Which I can only do so by accessing or a websit that you ask me, give OK when it asks me to activate the Active X and contiunue the process because if not, would have to install it each time since the Adobe web site.
You run the Flash Player 10 Active X , this would be the Flash folder you see in the picture below:
and also attached the lin for if you are not good:
