Problems updating Flash Player 8.0r27

Hello, i am new to the world of Mac, and still fumbling around so this is my first question/post
I downloaded the lastest version of Macromedia Falsh Player 8.0r27 . After clicking on Copy "Falsh Player.plug-in" I go to the Library/internet plug-in folder as directed and click on Flash-Player and select "Paste item" from to tool bar. After being asked if I want to replace the older version and selecting "replace" ...I get the message "operation cannot be completed because "FlashPlayer.rsrc" is in use.
I do not see where it is open or being used, any help from this point on would be greatly appreciated.

OK I tried that link and downloaded "instalflash_player_8-5osx.beta.dmg". After dbl-click on install it shows progam "installing" then it automaticaly takes me to www.adobe/products/flash/about/ with a pop-up that says "Safari cannot find plug-in" and gives me the option to go to another page to get the plug in, which is www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer. Which is the original page I started out on and only has "flashplayer8universalpreview.dmg" (8.r027) . But, if I go to MacHD/Library/INTERNET Plug-in/Flashplayer.plugin and "get info" it shows the version installed as "Adobe Flash Player 8.5 b245". So I think I have the right one now, but it still doesn't work, I guess???? Any more advice? Thanks for the info so far!!

Problem updating Flash Player

I received a prompt to update my Flash Player and began the process. It gets stuck at 25 % and I have tried several times. I un-installed the Flash Player and tried again with same result. I run Mac OS X 10.10.2 and have had Flash Player for many years but first time with this problem. Any help?

You might want to try the following Adobe website.
Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
Go to the bottom where it says, "Still having problems".

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
Could that be the main problem?
I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
Please help?

You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
Thanks,

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

Fake request to update flash player

Hi,
when I go to a website by safari or any other web browser such as chrome, there is a warning pop-up about requested to update flash player such as "http://facebook.com WARNING ! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue". I tried to deleted all web browser data, history also and restarted the Ipad. But the problem is still happen. Please advise me how to solve it or do you think it it a virus?
Tks

Hi all, I got the same problem as you all. I couldn't go into Google, Facebook & Youtube, which the virus immediately prompt me to update with Flash player pro. But today I sucessfully fixed it. You all may refer to below as referennce steps: 1) Hard reset your modem back to factory setting and after reseting done re-setup your DSL modem based on your ISP provided log on information. 2)I did have apple airport express, which I also doing the same hard reset and changing all my password & SSID naming. That's all is what I did to fixed the problem. I believe the infection was came from ISP which after I updated my IP TV from my country set top box (Android OS base) 2 days ago, guess this kind of virus will attack & infected the modem/Router. I do not believe Mac OS X 10.9.2 can easily get infected by virus. (Past 5 years using Mac & iOS mobile device never ever get any single virus attack) Hope this will help.. B/Regards...Alex Ooi

Update Flash Player warning messsage

Help needed.... I'm not a user of Flash player but probably downloaded because advised to by another programme... I'm now getting a continuous interuption warning sign on my screen "Update Flash Player (various, different letters and numbers) is requesting your permission - this is driving me mad. I have uninstalled, re installled but comes up every 20 seconds or so and my pc is running very differently - can someone help please? I'm not very techie....

i had the same problem too after i updated to version 12. my laptop is windows 7 64bit but it not only affected my chrome browser but all my browsers. i was unable to watch any videos online with flash content. even youtube was out i had to do a system restore and i have no plans to update to version 12 until version 13 is released lol
FWIW, YouTube has finished converting ALL of their videos to HTML5, which requires NO plug-in... at all.
If you have NO Flash Player installed on your system, your browser (as long as it's newer than IE8 or Firefox 17) can play YouTube videos.
If you're unable to view HTML5 video, your problems are way beyond Flash Player, or Chrome... which has a "proprietary" build, modified and embedded by Google, but isn't required to view YouTube.

Problem keeping Flash Player 10 active.

I am having similar problems as the other people posting. Most of the Adobe responses seem to need more information regarding systems and software. Here are my experiences. Like Gina in an earlier post, I had no problems with Flash Player until the February, 2009 Microsoft Tuesday security, O.S. and Office updates. I could no longer view Adobe Flash content. I tried all of the suggestions from this and other Forums including Adobe's Flash Player Support site. This included Permission settings, registry tweeks, copying and pasting files, using the seperate uninstall file for F.P. 10, installing from Macromed file under System32 file location- running as administrator, uninstalling from Control Panel and re-installing from Adobe F.P. site and Macromed file, Managing Add Ons tool in Internet Explorer.
My computer is a laptop with 2 gig of memory with Windows Vista SP1 operating system. I have McAfee Security Center, latest version with current updates as my security system. I connect to the internet via 56k modem. My ISP is MSN with the latest version of MSN Explorer (9. something). My browser is Internet Explorer. Versions 7 and 8 have the same conditional problems.
At the same time that I started having problem with Flash Player, after the Microsoft 2/2009 updates, I started to get error messages saying MSN/(or) Internet Explorer has stopped working which would force a close of those programs. This would occur while visiting sites with active content, especially newspaper electronic sites. My only work around to the Flash Player problem has been to uninstall MSN and Flash Player, re-install Flash Player and then restart the computer to set up the registry. Then, re-install MSN. This will work for three to seven days. Then, I will not be able to view all Flash content after that period of time. A lot of red boxes with red X's. Clicking on these X's and then choosing the SETTINGS option, I can get to camera and microphone permissions but not any security or history permissions. Flash Player is still listed as a program with Active X in my Control Panel Under 'PROGRAMS'.
My computer, operating system, security programs, ISP have not changed since encountering the Flash Player problems. I have upgraded from Internet Explorer 7 to 8 hoping that this would correct the problem. It did not. Hopefully there is enough information here for someone to be able to find a solution.

See if any of this helps

I am having problems downloading Flash Player on a Mac

I am having problems downloading / updating Flash Player on a Mac. Installer runs to 30 and freezes.

Hi, First since you have the 64bit Windows, you need to use the 32bit browser as Adobe does not support Flash Player
for the 64bit.
Are you using any other browser? Here are the instructions for Internet Explorer.
Download the Adobe Uninstaller to your Desktop: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the Installer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Before you start you need to read over the Uninstall info and follow the Security settings, making sure no applications
are running that uses Flash. Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewalls can interfere and so I would follow these steps after you
know how to disable these. Also you may benefit by reading this also:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us You don't need to follow all of these, just be aware of what my apply to you.
1. After the Uninstaller and Installer are on your Desktop, then disconnect from the Internet.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewall programs. (If you are using just the Windows Firewall, that is ok)
3. Make sure all apps that use Flash are disabled and check the system tray for that also.
4. Close All browsers and RUN the Uninstaller. When finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. When fully Rebooted, Reboot again( to clear out old files) When fully Rebooted,
5. RUN the Installer and when finished, Reboot ONCE.
6. Re enable your Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewall and connect back to the Internet.
Go to this test site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have any questions after reading or before you start, please ask.
Thanks,

Script Error when updating Flash Player

I have exhausted the online documentation. This started several months ago. The way that Flash Player updated on my machine changed. I am running XP using IE8. Everytime I try to update Flash Player I get a script error right about the time that the download completes and it is starting to install. The actual script error varies from one attempt to another. The latest error is 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined. Scripting is enabled per the help documents. I have never had to uninstall a previous version before and I'm hesitant to do it now because my current version is 11.4.402.287 and it works. My concern is that if I can't update to new versions eventually there may be problems. I have not made configuration changes to this computer or installed new software for quite a while. The Flash Player update mechanism used to never open a browser window but since I have had this problem that's the first thing it does and takes me to the Flash Player update site. Then the never ending fun begins always ending with a script error and failed install. PLEASE HELP!

If you have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in your Flash Player control panel (in the Advanced tab), you should be getting our silent auto updates. The problem appears to be occurring for you when a major update occurs. You have a couple of options here. First, you can visit the link below whenever this occurs and download the offline installer files that should work properly. The second option is to ignore these update notifications and after 30 days we'll install it automatically (and silently.)

Problem loading flash player...

I am running windows xp sp3 ....... I down loaded the flash player 10. 102. 64 . everything went as planned ...the only place I could find evidence that the player downloaded was by going in to the control panel and add or remove software feature. It showed that it loaded it...but showed no memory occupation. While in Control panel, I highlighted the new flash player entry. and it simply showed a link to adobe support. So, I am here trying to help solve by providing my input.
I logged on as System admin, killed the virus software processes, and downloaded it all again after having removed the previous version. Same Results
I have taken several approaches with no success...each time going into the control panel and noting the entry of the flash player 10 with no mem. size being their. I then uninstalled the thing using adobes DLM...it does say that it is installed and done...also it does remove the entry when uninstalling.
I updated my java script .....once again the same results....right now ...my computer says that the flash player is loaded no memeory occupied (via control panel) but the only thing is a link to adobe....so, has any body had this experience.

Thanks, I will revist the forum and look up the threads, I need all the help I can get, You have a great Christmas.
I too will do without streaming videos , until after the Lords bithday has been celebrated.

Hi, The Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player. There will be no size or any info in Control Panel/Add/Remove/Programs & Features.
Check a couple of recent threads or click on my name to several threads I have posted on helping users with the same issue.
Company coming in for the Christmas weekend and my time right now is limited.
On those threads you'll see the info you need.
Hope that helps,

Problems with Flash player: random starting and stoping.

My problems began when I updated flash player to 11.7.700.169. The problem Is this: while wAtching a video, the audio will cut out, several seconds later the video will stop. If i click pause and than play, the audio will resuMe from where it left off, and once it has couGht up with the videO they will resume together untill the problem repeats Itself. This problem occures for videos and music playing. This Never happened with my last verson of flash player and I'd be very Greatful if this problem stopped. Send me an Email at [email protected] to get to me quickly. I will help you in any way I can so this problem stops.

I suspect you have the debug version of Flash Player installed. Can you visit this page to verify that debug = yes?

Update Flash Player Preferences

My favorite webpage is requiring me to update Flash Player more and more often.
Every time I update, I am forced to select an Update Preference.
It would be useful if the selection choice from the previous installation were saved so that I wouldn't have to change it every time.

Hi Mr X.
Not sure what to take away from your reply.
So, you're saying that the auto update doesn't apply to the latest version. I'll keep an eye open for that if it's ever offered for the next, latest version. I've never seen it in action before, and changing the Auto Update option to my desired choice is getting tedious. (Did I already say that?)
Having my chosen setting [effectively] reversed every time there's an update is also offensive. The problem should be rectified.
> I don't think that your favorite webpage require v11.5, so it should not be a problem for you.
Sorry, but my favorite "flash audio player" wouldn't open twice in the last one or two weeks, but only gave a message saying that Flash had to be updated first, yadda yadda. I wouldn't lie about something like that. The message said explicitly, "Requires updating to v11.5.xxwhatever-beta." Today, they wanted the 2nd update, and it was no longer whatever-beta. If I said it was required, I don't know why you would assume I'm probably wrong.
In both instances, updating brought the flash audio player back to life. Updating was required, twice, in fairly quick succession.
Although you also say "it should not be a problem for me, it *was.* Evidence my undertaking navigating adobe's incredibly awkward, non-standard, uniquely complex, and user-unfriendly website. It's not something I would do willingly, but ONLY IF adobe was "a problem for me."
Yes, I would prefer if the URL of the audio stream were made available so I wouldn't have to deal with a user-unfriendly blight like Flash. But since the URL is not available, Flash *is* being a problem for me. That's why I'm here. Is it coalescing?
Yeh, this whole thing was sufficiently problematic that I felt it should be addressed. I might go so far as to suggest that if it is a problem for me, then there really is a problem. I shouldn't have to defend my opinion that a there is a problem when adobe neglects to confirm the usability of their product(s).
In summary, I agree with you Mr X. I shouldn't have a problem. Thanks for your help.

Hi Blanca rey
You Can try Uninstalling Flash Player using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
and Use the Offline Flash Player Installer for Mac (Safari and Firefox) from here - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
Hope it helps,
While you try the above suggestion, can you also share the Version of Mac on which you are updating Flash Player and how are you doing it?
Thanks
