Trying to install Flash player and adobe ask me at 50% to close Firefox!

I'm just started using Firefox and it closed Adobe Flash saying it needed updating. While installing Adobe Flash 11 at 50 percent into the install it ask me to close Mozilla Firefox and try again. I have also received a Failed notice several times. I installed it using Internet Explorer, but Firefox will not recognize it. Have tried several times with no luck. I started out trying to download a plugin.

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Right click the one you need and "Save" it.
Close your browser completely, and THEN run the installer.

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 .

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 w/Safari. Ran uninstaller. In troubleshooting guide, no version comes up in the box, and no error message. I have unblocked cookies and pop-ups. No firewall. Still, the download bar runs to completion, and then nothing. Help?
UPdate: called my local Apple Geek, and he said go to finder, click on adobe download, and go from there. Got the install icon, and its installed. 2 minutes versus the 2 hours I spent on the Adobe troubleshooting page. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or have a beer. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck.

I have tried about twenty times to install the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac. I had Adobe malware previously when responding to a fake popup Adobe update request.
In orfer to install now I am asked to disable my anti virus. If I do it would be permanent. I get the Adobe download and installer and even see I have an installed version in a box on the Adobe page but cannot access pdf's that require the player.

You already have most current version of Adobe (Shockwave Flash): version 10.0.45.2
The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of-date and incorrect.
You can download the Adobe Download Manager if you wish, but it has caused some problems, and I would advise against it. See the following for information on Adobe DLM:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+do+I+edit+options+to+add+Adobe+to+the+list+of+allowed+sites
'''You have the Adobe DLM''' listed in your plug-ins; '''''getplusplusadobe16263'''''
See:
'''Uninstall Adobe Download Manager'''
It has caused problems for many users. In the following article, scroll to near the bottom and follow the instructions under the heading "Getting rid of GetPlus":
http://www.404techsupport.com/2009/09/get-adobe-flash-and-reader-without-getplus-in-firefox/
~~red:'''The suggested method:'''~~
'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox''': your ver. 10.0 r42; current ver. 10.0 r45
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin#Updating_Flash Updating Flash]'''
-download and '''SAVE to your hard drive''' (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install it
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

Installing FLash player (and Creative cloud)

I am having trouble with Flash player and creative cloud. Most recently I have tried umpteen times to install Flash player and it wont work. I have run through uninstalling it. re installing it. ensuring it is enabled. and nothing. i have established that i DO have the current version on my computer through the \app\ through your website...its the 11.9 version. but when I try to use FB to upload photos, it says i have to install the latest version of flash.
I have also had the same issue with CC. I have a subscription and i have downloaded the desk top app, but I cannot see or access it. I have it listed in my control panel, under programs...but cannot see it anywhere else.
What else can I do? I am so frustrrated. mostly with these adobe products - they just dont seem to 'stay' on my comp. LR and PS both work - downnloaded from CC...but nothing else really!?
Thanks so much
Jen

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11 (which I can only assume you're using because this is where the FB problems occur), 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.

I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

I turned off AVG anti-virus and uninstalled old Flash Player versions. I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

I cant copy and paste the install file but it was not a or b above. It was copied from the adobe website, downloaded successfully, but will not install. I get the download from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

Hi folks,
Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2
SeaMonkey 1.1.6,
I need to install Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader
I found following link;
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
But not for Seamonkey. Does it work on Seamonkey. Besides it's flash plugin. Would it be the same as Adobe Flash Player?
Does 32bit Adobe Reader works on 64bit Seamonkey. Where can I download it? Where can I find its installation document?
TIA
B.R.

Assuming you had run

before doing
locate ndiswrapper
it looks like the package didn't build. Go back to your nspluginwrapper directory and run
makepkg
as your user, if this completes successfully it should create a file called something like
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
probably in the current directory. It may fail initially due to unsatisfied dependencies but you should be able to install them using pacman since I think all the lib32- stuff is in [Community] now.
Thanks for your advice.

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

Trying to install Flash player and adobe ask me at 50% to close Firefox!
