  • 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.

    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.

  • Trouble downloading flash player latest

    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. Will not download. I noted that the page said I might have to temporarily shut off virus program, and I tried that, too. Rebooted after system cleanup, registry cleanup, etc....nothing seems to be working.  Any help appreciated.

  • 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 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!

  • Frustrating attempts to open and download Flash Player.

           Hi y'all. I have Windows Vista 64-bit OS and attempting to download Flash Player through Firefox. However, each time I make this attempt,
    the "SAVE" box appears followed by the "DOWNLOAD" box that disappears after one second so that I cannot then Open or RUN the Player as requested.
    This has happened repeatedly and attempts to do so have appeared on the download history (many of which I'v since erased). The trouble is, I don't know why. I have ceased operation of antivirus programs for this effort as well. What am I doing wrong?

    I don't understand what is happening.  Can you try to download the installer from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

  • Downloading Flash Player plays advertisement -- and installs a virus?

    I've had this problem 3 times consecutively trying to restore my system after it was destroyed by what seems to be a virus.  It took that many tries before I realized the in-your-face advertisement and problem process are coming from Adobe itself.
    THE PROBLEM
    The apparently viral process runs as SVCHOST and uses the RasMan (remote access manager) service, apparently to transmit the contents of your hard drive to someone across the internet.  It takes 99% of CPU, 1/2 Gig of memory, a lot of disk activity, and high transmit volume with low receive volume over the network.  Unplug the network, and the SVCHOST falls to about 35% CPU with more intermittent disk activity.  Plug the network back in, and it climbs back to 99% with high disk activity, and high transmit volume.  It seems clear that it's copying the hard drive out to the network.  Before I realized that, I thought it might be an internal process and just let it run to get it over with.  It just got worse, finally running the machine out of memory and making it almost too slow to terminate the SVCHOST.  When I finally did terminate it, the machine returned to normal.
    WHY I THINK IT COMES FROM ADOBE
    I restored my system to a known clean state from a disk image.  I've done that 5 times now.  The first thing I do on booting the restored system is wait and check for that process -- it's not there.  Next, I update Firefox, then wait again.  No problem, as long as you don't click on the Update Flash Player link.  Then you click on that link, and immediately there's a pop-up and it plays audio saying "You've won a free Xbox", or else some other advertisement -- it's not always the same -- and also opens a tab to a site outside of both Firefox and Adobe.  Some advertising site.  So, I first thought I'd been spoofed by a false advertisement and unwittingly clicked on a malicious ad banner.  Restored the system again, and next time went directly to Adobe.  Clicked the link to download Flash Player, and... immediately, a similar ad popup and tab appeared, and it played a "congratulations!  .... you've won ____" audio clip.
    Right after each incident where the ad appeared, the computer began bogging down with disk activity and high CPU consumption by that SVCHOST process, and apparently copying out the hard drive to the internet (high network transmit activity).
    IT'S NOT THE PLAYER ITSELF
    I never even got around to downloading and installing the player.  The trouble started right after that ad popping up.
    CONCLUSION
    So, Adobe has sold out.  Not only is Flash responsible for most viruses transmitted, now just to get the player Adobe itself is shoving an obnoxious ad in our faces which installs a trojan.  A Malwarebytes scan before the Adobe-shoved ad came up clear.  Another scan after the Adobe-shoved ad detected a trojan and attempted to remove it, but it just comes back every time you restart the machine, and copies your business machine's hard drive out to the network.
    So, Adobe, who has obtained copies of my business's intellectual property (I'm a software developer) and financial records, as well as sensitive data such as accounts and passwords?
    CONSEQUENCES
    Incidentally, this came at the moment when I was transitioning from developing native applications for desktop and mobile platforms.  It was my intention to transition to using Adobe Flex for most work in the next few years at least.  I had the Flash Builder on two of my systems, and was starting to work with it.
    But this incident, combined with numerous past incidents that have made me absolutely hate both Flash and Adobe, was the final straw.  I have deleted all Adobe products from all of my systems, and will not be using Adobe Flash or Flex or any other Adobe products for development or anything else.  Now I understand why Steve Jobs also dumped Adobe -- it's nothing but a viral company!  Adobe itself is like a virus.
    Thanks for wasting a day on a holiday weekend trying to restore my system just so I can resolve a minor customer issue.  Thanks, gals.  Hope you enjoy the millions you get from that advertisement, but in my case it caused me to return to native development for all platforms instead of using Flash, Air, Flex, or any of the other viral stuff you use to invade 99% of all systems on the planet and then shove ads and more spyware on us.
    I've also uninstalled Photoshop.  (The uninstallation took 45 minutes.)  I can just use GIMP, it's good enough now.  Adobe = BANNED, because all that Adobe stands for anymore is VIRAL.
    Thanks again

    Thanks for the reply.  I forgot to include:
    -- Windows XP SP3 (32-bit) running on a 1.9 MHz Turion X2, with 2G memory
    -- Already-installed Flash version was 10.x, I think 10.1, but hadn't been updated for months since it was a restored backup.
    -- Firefox 3.6.13, just updated to 3.6.18   (yes, I've tried 4.0, it was slow and annoying, so I went back)
    -- Other software on the machine: Microsoft Office, development tools (Visual Studio, Eclipse with Andriod and RIM plugins, BlackBerry JDE, Sun Java SDK, Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Adobe Reader, Adobe AIR, Adobe Shockwave, Flash Builder, and a few old trusted versions of minor utilities such as WinZip, DivX, Grep, etc.)
    -- Only changes for several months were:  Installed Flash Builder, updated Firefox, tried to update Flash Player
    I only reacted this way because I've lost SO MUCH time and also data, adding up no doubt to YEARS of time, primarily because the platforms of two companies (Microsoft and Adobe) are like warm, moist, undressed flesh wounds that just invite every kind of infection to enter and flourish.  It's not just their prevalence, it's their design.  For example, why can a Flash program insert native code into a SVCHOST, when it's nearly impossible to figure out what's running in the SVCHOST, what it's doing, where it came from, and how to kill it permanently?  That just creates conditions favorable to malware.
    Anyway, after restoring my system to a snapshot of a known clean state, I first selected Check for Updates in Firefox, it downloaded it update.  Then I unplugged from the net before letting it restart and install, and it did its thing.  Then I plugged back in and went directly to www.adobe.com, selected Flash Player under Downloads, clicked Download Now, and then up popped the advertisement right after the click.
    Previously, I let Firefox finish its update still plugged in -- it took me to their site, where a banner appeared saying Flash needed to be updated.  I clicked that, and a similar ad popped up (for a different product, and using a different URL, but the same type of thing -- an instant audio message and a new tab plus a small pop-up.)
    So it seems clear that Adobe has decided to make some extra millions by forcing everyone who downloads Flash Player (at least from a Windows machine last night and this morning) to hear "Congratulations!  You've just won an imaginary Xbox 360 in compensation for letting our ad partners copy your hard drive and pay us money at your expense -- you thought Adobe would just give you a Player for free?!  If you're further stupid enough to try to claim your imaginary prize, just enter more personal information, as well as the address and phone number of your girlfriend, because what Flash is all about is invading the home, popping up and penetrating the market by force, never really taking NO for an answer -- we'll just starve her and keep asking until she says Yes."
    Ruthless advertising is just completely out of control on the internet.  When you show up on the site of a major company and get hit with an obnoxious scam pop-up ad that's just like something you'd get from making the mistake of visiting some unknown website -- you know, the kind that escape the borders of the window and say you've just won a million dollars, and that are usually followed by a phony "virus scanner" taking over your machine any moment -- then internet ethics have been completely overrun by the glut for advertising money and collecting valuable information from users.
    Can't BELIEVE I got a pop-up ad and spyware from trying to download Flash Player directly from Adobe's site, what is this company coming to?  I don't remember the details exactly, but there was some other instance -- with Reader, I think -- where they were bundling spyware with it, and doing it in a way that you would not realize it would be installed, and then it was hard to get rid of completely.  There was a big row about it, and I remember having to restore my system multiple times there too, to ensure no contamination.  That's why I'd gone back to an earlier version of Reader, but now I've deleted all Adobe software completely.  It is the most unethical of all the big technology companies, no-one is more ruthless or viral than Adobe.
    You've got plenty of money, you're rolling in money, and you resort to stuff that crooks use to make their start-up capital?

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Macintosh

    I have had repeated trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) despite following every step listed in the Macintosh Installation Help guide: uninstalling previous versions, turning off anti-virus protection, etc. Each time I get a warning message for both Safari and Firefox attempted installations as follows: "Error: General installation error." The only solution seemed to be to reinstall an earlier version: 11.7.700.225.
    Any suggestions?

    http://blueskyworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/04/cant-install-flash-on-os-x -mountain.html
    If you're not comfortable with terminal commands:
    Download the offline installer here (right click and "Save as")
    Quit all browsers
    Go to: MacHD/Library/Internet Plugins... and if the Flash Player.plugin is still there "trash it".
    Then go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and "trash" the Flash Player folder if it's still there.
    Empty the trash.
    Mount the DMG and run the installer
    Relaunch Firefox and it should work

    of IE.
    Try uninstalling flash player using these directions. They
    were posted by BWolfe from Adobe in another msg..
    ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
    a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
    c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
    to reboot, then reboot.
    d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
    flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
    e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
    bits.
    You're done with this part of the problem, go to the Adobe
    home page and see if you can install the latest version of the
    Flash Player.
    e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
    Right click it
    and select properties and look at the version tab.
    What is the version number?
    f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
    f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
    this. If you're not
    comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
    is!
    g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
    g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
    specific name of the control that remains
    in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
    stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
    and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
    like this:
    UninstFl.exe -u
    c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
    That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
    really is necessary to find someone who knows how
    to use the command line, either a friend or a local
    professional. Or spend some time learning about the
    command line yourself.
    h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
    get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
    registry keys associated with it.
    ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
    bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
    maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
    problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.

  • Constantly having to download Flash Player

    How many times do I have to download this thing? I download it, install it and yet everytime I have to opportuinity to view something, &quot;it&quot; says I have to download Flash Player ... AGAIN! Very frustrating. Windows 7.

    This is a known problem with Internet Exploder 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Maybe you are looking for
