Trouble installing flash - could language & region be the cause?
I've been trying to install Safari Flash for my 10.9 Mac OS X System with no sucsess.
After checking all nessesary Safari settings, uninstalling flash and re-installing, and following all other procedures given on Adobe Flash Help pages it is still not working.
I reach as far as step 3 of 3, with a thank you for installing the program however it is not actually installed.
Could having my mac primary language in French and Adobe providing an English version of Flash be affecting this?
Is your region set to France?

The majority of users have trouble installing Flash Catalyst CS5 when they have not properly run the uninstaller on a previous version (typically a beta version).
If this is the case, the first thing you should try is running the Adobe CS5 cleanup script: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.htmlFlash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
Click OK -
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 -

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. -
hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work. -

This is from W3 Schools on the Flash site.
I hve no idea how to do this!Ask in the Flash forum.

Having trouble installing Flash 11.3 on Firefox
I was having trouble upgrading to the newest version of flash. I kept getting the error that flash was already running, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I read through the tips and saw it was suggested to uninstall and then reinstall flash. So I downloaded and ran the flash uninstaller. I successfully uninstalled the application. I tried to re-download and continued to get the error that flash was running even though it had been uninstalled. At this point I don't know what to do. It should be noted that the problem all began when I found my computer had contracted TextEnhance. I found the cure was disabling Shockwave Flash, which made me unable to watch flash videos. So when I clicked the error box on the video it directed me to Adobe Flash 11.3 download, which I am trying to install in place of Shockwave because Shockwave seems to be the source of my TextEnhance problems. For what it's worth, disabling Shockwave has cured my computer of TextEnhance. Any help in making it so I can watch flash videos would be much appreciated
What is your operating system & version?
Can you post a screenshot of that message ("already running")?
I suggest that you remove any malware before retrying to install.

Trouble installing Flash player update 14.0.0.177 for Chrome
I tried to help my mom update her flash player. She was running flash version 14.0.0.145 and having problems with it. I was checking things for her when I saw there was a newer version, 14.0.0.177, so I downloaded it. For Chrome you have to enable it in the plugins page, but the only version showing up was the old one. As far as I know, that is how it is installed. She has a windows computer with os windows 7. Is there something I am missing here, or something I should try that could help her get the newest version of flash running? Thanks!
Hello,
The Flash Player version integrated in Chrome is updated by Google, not Adobe. For this Flash Player release, it appears Google released Flash Player via a Chrome update (versus a components update, which they sometimes do), as per this page Chrome Releases: Stable Channel Update, which indicates 36.0.1985.143 as the version that contains the Flash Player update. You can navigate to chrome://chrome to trigger the update (or Tools > About Google Chrome which goes to the same page).

Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?
Hello,
I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
"This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
Can somebody please help??
Thanks,

uninstalled all flash players then tried installing again... didn't
work... yes I restarted my computer... then after a long time of
trying to figure out what the prblem was I gave up and tried to
install flash player so I could atleast have something on the
computer because lots of websites need some sort of fp. But I can't
figure out how to install it.. it give me a "Players" folder and I
have no idea what to do with that... could somebody help me... or
better yet help me figure out what my problem with FP9 is?That looks like you are using Vista 64-bit.

Once I enabled it, it WORKED!!!

Trouble installing flash player 10.3
I uninstled flash player 10.1 and downloaded ver 10.3.
When I double click on the flash player icon I get to the install window.
My problem is that the install option is grayed out, and the only option I can use is the quit.
I'v attempted a number of times, even restarting my computer, still the same problem.
I searched the Adobe site, but couldn't find any answers to my question.
Your help is apprreciated.
ThanksThanks for your quick reply, but since I uninstalled the earlier version I can't use the update.
However, I found the problem.
There was a notice about "if you click the download button it is understood that you agree with the licensing agreement".
But I noticed that when I double clicked the install window there's a little box that I was supposed to check, thereby agreeing to the terms and agreement again.
Once I checked this the install went without any problems.
