Trouble downloading Flash Player 10 to Mac using 10.6.4

I have tried several times to download the program. After each attempt I get a message that says download successful but nothing seems to work. The program is listed in my progam files. Help!

"nothing seems to work" does not describe symptoms anyone can understand.
Anyway, as I know nothing about Mac OS, all I can do is point you to the troubleshooting page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

I can not download flash player on my Mac

I have a Mac with OS 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1. Since some time I am not able to upgrade or download flash player on my Mac (latest version 15.0.0.152). from the Adobe download center. Every time I try Safari gets stuck at step 2 of 3 (initialization) and keeps refreshing the page. To start fresh, I tried to uninstall flash player by downloading the uninstall .dmg offered at the flash player help page on the adobe website - even that one I can't download; if I click on it, it only refreshes the page and nothing else happens. So I uninstalled it "by hand", but I am not sure that I removed absolutely everything... Not sure if that matters. Apparently a plugin called SpeedTao is used by the Adobe website. Could there be a problem with that? I can not do anything to enable / disable / reset etc SpeedTao; Internet plugins are allowed and I have allowed adobe to use SpeedTao when it asks me for it.
I saw that someone else posted a similar question, but it remained unanswered; I could not find an answer...

Hi leronica,
The Flash Player download page does not use the SpeedTao Download Manager. This must've been installed on your system at some other time. If you suspect SpeedTao is interfering with the Flash Player installation, and don't require SpeedTao on your system, you can remove it using a utility such as AppCleaner, or delete 'all' SpeedTao files (/Applications/SpeedTao.app, ~/Library/Preferences/net.speedtao.mas.SpeedTao.plist, ~/Library/Application Support/SpeedTao). Removing just SpeedTao.app from /Applications doesn't completely remove it and Safari will still list it in the Plug-ins (I verified this before posting my response). If you require, or don't want to remove, SpeedTao, you can try using the full installer, posted at the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac.

How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

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.

If you have any questions after reading or before you start, please ask.

Downloading flash player on a Mac

Every time I try to download flash player, it says my software is out of date and not compatible with the latest version of flash. My Mac software is up to date as of yesterday so I'm not sure what the problem is. Help please!

You're in luck, to a point. 10.5 is out of date, but your system WILL run a newer OS X build. Apple, unfortunately, DOESN'T sell older versions, so you'd have no choice but to buy 10.8 and pay the full $129 for it. The good news is you can "migrate" everything you're presently using (with some very limited exceptions) right from 10.5 to 10.8 as you install, so you'll keep all your files and apps, but they'll just run in the new OS X.
You can find older versions of OS X on places like e-bay, but I have to warn you, a lot of people sell "pirated" or "OEM" discs and unless you have the right model of Mac that they were made for, they won't install, and you're out the money spent because the seller will disappear right after they get your payment.

Trouble downloading flash player-update

Hello,
I'm having trouble installing - to be more specific: even downloading - the new Adobe Flash Player Version. When I'm on the "get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/" - site and clicking the "Jetzt installieren"-button, I'm only redirected to "adobe.de", nothing else is happening. I haven't had this problem ever since I'm using flash, so I would be really thankful, if anybody could help me. I'm using Firefox by the way, newest version, and Windows 7.
Best regards!

I have been chasing this problem for a week or so. I am unable to download Flash Player or Shockwave Player, updates or new editions. I am on a win 7 64 bit Home Preium machine with Firefox 25. I got notice of an update and I've been having problems with streaming video from several sites so decided I would spend more time chasing this problem. So, I'm back here yelling "HELP" . When I try to download, I get caught in a loop between pages that won't permit download. I hit "Install Now" on the Flash Player page at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and get sent right back to the page I left. Same thing happens with Shockwave Player. When I do your link, it still happens exactly the same way.
Maybe youse guyses just don't like andythebeagle?? I'll understand.

Trouble installing Flash Player on Power Mac

When I try to install the Flash Player 9 installer for
PowerPC-based Macs, I get the message "This Fl;ash Player is for
PowerPC-based Macintosh systems. To download the latest Flash
Player installer for intel-based Macintosh systems, please visit
http://www.adobe.com/gogetflashplayer_intel.mac"
This is a problem since my computer is an iMac Power PC.

None of the new versions of Flash are PPC Mac compatible.
Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users.

Hello,
If you have Matlab installed it could be set as the default program for opening DMG files. This article, osx - Why is Adobe Flash Player downloaded as a ".dmg.mdlp" file? - Super User, has some information on changing the 'open with' program.

I work with windows xp on a sony vio, using IE 7. Have always easily downloaded latest flashplayer until today. I get "a script is running n this page [name of script] - do you wish to stop script.

I am having trouble downloading flash player on windows vista,can anyone help

I've tried everything installed, uninstalled, restarted, downloaded,enabled,prompt,changed adminstrator.I need help

Hi, ok that's good. Since you don't have any Anti-Virus program installed, you need to go ahead and Install the AVG, just
follow the instructions. Then be sure to Restart your computer.
Download the Uninstaller for Flash Player here and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for Firefox:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Before you begin:
Using IE, go to Tools, Internet Options and under the Security Tab make sure it is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Disconnect from the Internet, check the system tray and make sure to disable any applications that use Flash. Refer to the Uninstaller instructions.
You should have an AVG icon in your system tray. Open the user interface & double click on the Resident Shield and UN tick the "option Resident Shield active", and SAVE the changes. Next find the LinkScanner, double click on it and UN tick the "Enable AVG Search-Shield" and the "Enable Active Surf-Shield" SAVE the Changes.
Don't connect back to the Internet until that step is listed.
Now Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, when finished, Restart your computer. Then Restart again (to clear old files)
Now Run the Installer for IE and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
Then Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
Now Re-Enable the AVG steps you took to Disable.
Now you will connect back to the Internet.
Then go here to the test site:http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can check your websites. Post back when you are all finished.
If you have any questions before or after, just post.
Thanks,

Trouble with Flash Player: Application Already In Use

Hello,
I'm trying to install Flash Player on my Windows 8 64-bit system for Firefox. When I try to install Flash Player, the installer works fine up to the point of the bar tracking the installation progress. It gets about halfway across, and then I get a message that says Error: Application Already In Use with a green check next to it. Then the installer tells me that the installation has failed. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can use Flash? Thanks for the help.

Use the Offline installer:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe <---FULL installer - works offline
or
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 13_plugin.msi <-- if the above link won't install
Save it. Reboot and then run it.
