Trouble downloading/installing Flash Player

I'm trying to download/install Flash player & it's not working.  After the initial download, the window pops up showing the progress, however it stops between 7% & 9%, saying underneath the progress bar: lost connection.  trying to reconnect.   No matter how many times I've tried it, it does the same thing.  I've also tried to download Flash player from another site (not Adobe.com) & windows won't recognize it... please help!

Download & run the offline installer(s):
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS X)

    Count your blessings. You're better off without it.
    If you insist upon having Flash Player, there is one and only one URL from which to download it:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    You must also enable plug-ins in Safari. Make your Safari Preferences look like this:
    FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
    This one is bogus:

    Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.

  • Can't download/install Flash Player 10

    Guys,
    I'm running IE8 on Windows 7 Pro x64 and I am having trouble downloading flash player. I am trying to directly download from the following link: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe as the abobe DLM freezes at a very small download completion rate (under 1%). The download begins but at a VERY slow tranfer rate of between 55 bytes/s and 400 bytes/s ...but never actually completes, even after hours.
    There are no issues with my internet connection; I am able to download files from other sites at regular speed. I have tried disabling my firewall/AV while attempting the download, which had no effect.
    This is a very strange issue as I have, in the past, been able to successfully download the active x control directly from the link provided (having tried and failed to install FP via adobe DLM) and there was no issue whatsoever - that time was my first clean install of Windows 7, this being my second.
    Is there an issue with the adobe site server? I have spent ages looking for an alternate location from which to download flash player but have not found anything suitable and/or trustworthy.
    Any assistance that anyone could offer would be very much appreciated,
    Navster

    Thanks for your response.
    Just to clarify, I am using 32 bit IE8 under 64 bit Win7 Pro.
    And just to re-stress the point; I am having trouble downloading flash player from the direct link to the activeX exe - I have not even got to the point where I can install it yet!
    Regards,

  • Downloaded, Installed Flash Player Update to 10.1: Can't find it

    Hi,
    I'm on a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 64-bit, OS 10.6.4 and use Firefox as my main browser.
    I have three (3 ) Flash Player applications (version 10, 0, 22, 87 )  on my computer, located in:
    Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/Players/Flash Player.app
    Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/Players/Release/Flash Player.app
    Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/Players/DeBug/Flash Player.app
    I just updated my Firefox browser to FF 3.6.10, which advised I needed to install an updated Flash Player (to 10.1)
    So I downloaded install_flash_player_osx_ub and followed the instruction to install the update.
    It said I would have to close all browsers for the install to be successful. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that when I double clicked on the install icon it would alert me that it was time to close the browsers and/or automatically close the browsers. I followed the prompts to install. It never prompted me to close anything and proceeded to install the update. The install was deemed successful.
    I checked my Flash Player.app version by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. It said, "You have version 10,1,82,76 installed."
    I checked my Firefox Plugins and have the Shockwave Flash 10.1.53.64 plugin. (Don't know if that is the latest or not)
    However, I cannot find a Flash Player with the version of 10,1,82,76.
    The question is, was that update installation really successful?
    The other question is if it was successful,  where will I find it?
    Finally, was I supposed to uninstall my Flash Player apps?
    The original 3 versions of Flash Player.app still say they are version 10, 0, 22, 87.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi, You didn't have a clean Uninstall. I think what you need to do now is use the Troubleshooting Guide for Mac and follow the instructions. I would first click on the Uninstall info and get that done. I'm sure it will guide you through to confirm that you have Uninstalled all of the old Flash Player. Then go back and click on the Install info and follow that.
    Link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
    This time after you confirm that the old Flash files are Uninstalled, I wouldn't go to the test site. Either follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting Guide(which is best) or the Install link I gave you.
    I don't troubleshoot Macs since I am not familiar with the system. Uninstall and Install info, and some basic instruction that is the same as PC's, test sites, etc.
    If I could help you further, I would. Adobe has revised Troubleshooting Guides for the PC & Mac, Uninstall and also Install info just recently. Since I use a PC, I cannot obtain as much information as I would like from the Mac guide, since it detects I don't have a MAC, LOL  It doesn't know that I don't want to Uninstall or Install, just want info for you or other Mac users:-)
    But go ahead and try the Troubleshooting Guide for Mac, it is the latest.
    Thanks,

  • Downloading & installing Flash Player v11.9.900.152

    Please Help!
    I am trying to download but when I click install at step 1 I am taken directly to the adobe home page.  Does anyone know if there a problem on the site or am I doing something wrong?

    It's something in the updater.
    Bypass it.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player FULL installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

  • Trouble Downloading Adobe Flash Player

    I have a Macbook Air and I was notified that my flash player was out of date so I tried to install the newer version. Once the installer downloaded and I tried opening it, it would open up as a TextEdit file. Once I fixed that problem and was finally able to open it with the DiskImageMounter it would seem as it if started to load but then it suddenly goes blank. I tried everything on the troubleshooting page and it still does the same thing. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this please!

    Hello,
    Please delete all installer files you have previously downloaded II see at least two in the screenshot you have posted).  Completely delete them form your system (empty the trash after deleting them).  Then download the full, offline, installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

  • Trouble downloading/upgrading Flash player

    I am experiencing difficulty when I try to download the latest edition of Flash player . I am using Windows 7 and have checked the location it is saving to (program files), and tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash complete with restarting my computer. It tells me the installation is complete, but each time I attempt to reaccess sites which require Flash I am told to install/upgrade.
    How can I make sure Flash installs and runs correctly on my computer?

  • I'm having trouble downloading adobe flash player to my ipad - it seems to be frozen for about 6 hrs now - i have restarted it a few times but no luck - what can I do?

    does any one have suggestion. if I just  wait will it eventually load?

    As Tgara indicated, there is no version of Flash Player for any iOS device, and now that Adobe has abandoned all development of Flash for mobile devices there almost certainly never will be. You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services

  • Trouble while installing flash player update

    please someone can tell me why while the installation of flash player update, adobe tells me to shut internet explorer to be able to continue the installation (first time in years)? i don't understand

    The WHY -  Same as it always has  - is that, like changing oil in a vehicle, it can't be done while it's in use. NO plugin for IE can be updated while in use, and none ever could.
    The HOW - How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows
