Trouble downloading and installing adobe flash player on Macbook air

When trying to download from Adobe site, it stops mid way for no reason. After cancelling and resuming hundreds of times I get it going again to the end. After that, when I try to run the installation software, I get an error message illegal seek. Does anyone can help me?

You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • Difficulty installing adobe flash player on macbook air os yosemite

    Hi.
    I recently bought a Macbook Air, which runs OS Yosemite, and I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player on it. I got to the part where it is installing, and then it says "Please close Safari". I did that, then clicked "Retry". It still said "Please close Safari". I waited a few minutes, and then clicked "Retry" again. Same result. Can anyone help me?

    Could you first try the steps outlined in this FAQ:

    If that doesn't help, please try this installer:

  • Can't download and install Adobe Flash Player

    I have a new Acer Aspire laptop on Windows 8.1, running the latest Firefox as default browser. On trying to open Al Jazeera in Firefox I get a window that says I need to download Adobe Flash Player:
    I click on that and get the Adobe download page:
    I click on install now and get the prompt to save install_flashplayer:
    I click on save file and then go to my downloads folder and it has the installer icon there:
    However when I then double click on it nothing more happens. A window headed Adobe Flash Player Installer with no content appears:
    And nothing more happens.
    Please advise.

  • How can I download and install Adobe Flash Player?

    Actually, I think I have downloaded Flash Player 9 (Adobe confirms not only download but installation), but the player does not work. I receive a message "There is no default application specified to open the document "Flash Player.plug.in" in both Safari and Firefox.

    Nate;
    I am experiencing the same problem. The message I get when I open up a page in Safari is that I need to have shockwave to view this MIME type file. When I choose to select the options given when this message appears, it takes me to the Adobe web site for downloading flash 9. I have tried opening Safari in Rosetta mode with no luck. THis is a recent phenomenon; prior to this I had no trouble viewing MIME files

    Hello,
    Flash Player on Ubuntu is available via Software Updates or apt-get command-line.  You may need to update the repository for it to detect the new version of Flash Player and make it available to you.

  • Installing adobe flash player to MacBook pro

    I am trying to install adobe flash player on a brand new Mac book Pro but it isn't downloading.

    Or here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that either link will get you a .dmg file downloaded onto your Mac. Double click to open. Inside is the installer program itself, which you must run and follow its instructions to complete the Flash installation.

  • Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

    Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

    Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
    Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
    Happy computing!
