Problems installing/upgrading Flash

This may not be the appropriate place to ask this question
since this site seems geared to Flash developers. However, my
question is very simple. Websites that require Flash tell me that I
don't have the most current version of Flash and direct me to this
site for upgrade. When I go through the steps to install the
upgrade I do get the little graphic that says the install was
successful, but either it is not successful or other sites aren't
recognizing it, because I continue to have problems viewing Flash
content on sites like GoFish, YouTube, etc.
Could anyone help me with this?

I am also having trouble with installing Flash Player 9.
Basically, I'm starting to use Flex 2 and I invited fellow
developers to reveiw my work. We're batting 500 (that's 50%) on
success with installing the Flash Player 9. The symptom generally
seems to be that a "Flex 2" application will show it's background
color but nothing else. Works fine, like I said, on 50% of
machines, but this is very frustrating. Also, I've got Flash Player
9 running successfully on my machine, and the
adobe.com/go/getflashplayer believes that I need to upgrade. And
then prompts my authorization for installing Flash PLayer 8 (which
I assume to be 8.5, which is "really" 9). Anyone else getting these
issues? Am I alone or is a fix needed?

  • 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

    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.

    I'm having the same problem. I go to update my Adobe Flash
    Player @ the web address:

    Then I click on the Download and Install button, and it takes

  • Problems installing/updating Flash Player

    Hello
    I am currently running Windows 7 64bit
    I noticed that my web browser would hang when playing certain flash based adverts on web pages. I wasn't sure of this was a Firefox 4 problem or a Flash problem so thought to re-install flash player in the first instance and go from there
    In add/remove programs I noticed that the version installed was 10.3.181.22 but in the addons section in Firefox it was showing as 10.3.181.14
    Anyway, using add/remove programs I uninstalled Flash Player and rebooted my PC. I downloaded the 10.3.181.22 installer from the Adobe website but now when I try to run it I keep getting the error message “The installation encountered errors: Flash Player could not be installed because an existing version may still be in use. Please close all applications using Flash Player and try again”
    However when I go into add/remove programs again Flash Player is installed as version 10.3.181.22. Checking the addons in Firefox it is showing as 10.3.181.14. The Adobe website also shows me as having WIN 10,3,181,14
    I have been through the Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation webpage and tried the stuff there in but I am still having the problem. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas as to what might be causing it?
    Many Thanks

    Hi, it sounds like some application that uses Flash may have not been disabled. Try this: Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer (if you want FP Installed in IE)
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)
    Close all browser windows, disable any instant messenger services as yahoo, msn, etc from the system tray(area near the clock)
    Disable your realtime Anti-Virus.
    Use the Administrator Account
    Run the Uninstaller and then reboot(restart) your computer.
    Check to make sure your Anti-Virus is still disabled.
    Then Run the Installer for IE(if you want Flash Player Installed), then Run the Installer for FF. When finished, Reboot.
    Turn your Anti-Virus back on along with anything disabled in the system tray.
    Test each browser here, and you should be able to see the Flash Player logo(Red F) animate(spin)

    You can print these instructions out to make it easier to follow since you will be offline until finished.

  • 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.

  • Problems installing abode flash player

    how do I exit internet explorer when installing adobe flash player

    When flash player asks you to close Internet Explorer, you should be able to simply close it down and the install will resume automatically.  Make sure ALL explorer windows are closed.  If that doesn't work, follow the instructions below. Open task manager and end task on iexplorer.exe.

  • Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

    I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium.  Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
    I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not.  First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial.  Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
    Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
    Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
    Cannot open resource file.
    After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened.  I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved.  Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input.  PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

  • 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.

    What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

Apparently I have Flash Player installed on my computer, but not the plug-in necessary to play media files on the internet. What do I need to do to fix this?
