Trying to install updated Flash Player but after installing 51%  message pops up saying quit Safari,

I downloaded and clicked the dmg to install latest update.  It got to 51% complete and then stopped instructing me to close Safari.  Sarfari was already closed and not running.  Hit retry and got same message.  Tried a reboot and install but still got same message.  Don't understand why it says close when it is already closed?

It's probably still running somewhere in the background.  If you are on a Mac, use the Activity Monitor to close running applications.  On Windows use the Task Manager.

    Hi Blanca rey
    You Can try Uninstalling Flash Player using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
    and Use the Offline Flash Player Installer for Mac (Safari and Firefox) from here - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Hope it helps,
    While you try the above suggestion,  can you also share the Version of Mac on which you are updating Flash Player and how are you doing it?
    Thanks

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • Installing Updated Flash Player

    I have tried to install an updated version of flash player several times. When I come to step 2, it reads "blocked plug-in". How do I install this program?

    Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
    Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
    Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
    Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
    Without the "Option" key
    And WITH
    Trash the Macromedia folder there.
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
    Empty the trash.
    Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X) again if necessary.
    Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
    It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
    Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
    Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
    You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
    The installer will run.
    Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
    Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)
    Go to the Security tab. Make sure “Allow plug-ins” is checked.

  • Install flash player, but during install told to shut down safari

    I am a new mac user, with at desk top using ios 10.9.  Been trying to download Adobe Flash player but during installation it quits and I get a dialogue box telling me to shut down Safari.  I don't have Safari open.......

    I figured it out from another thread.  you need to "Quit" Safari before installing.  Yes, its nothing to worry about once you figure it out, but until that time its frustrating for people switching from PC to MAC.

    No idea.  What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?

  • Install Adobe Flash Player popup after "successful" distributed install

    I am getting this popup on pages using
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" width="1" height="1" id="SOredirect" align="middle" SWLIVECONNECT="true">
    How to fix this?

    Hi, thanks for the screenshot!! That is helpful since I now see "Privilege Manager Active X Installer" There are several different companies that have this software. Here is what I read from one site and I'm sure they all work the same way.
    The idea is to allow end users to have "certain" approved Installation privileges at the Desktop.
    Privilege Manager solves this dilemma by allowing network administrators to attach permission levels to Windows applications and processes.
    This tells me that the "Network Administrators" are the ones that attach the permission levels. I am not sure on this, but the fact that you received that Security Warning seems to indicate that this Installing of Flash Player(which is Installing an ActiveX Control) has not been approved. I wouldn't see the need for the warning, otherwise.
    I would check with your Systems Administrator and see if  this is the case.
    Now here is what I want to clear up. Have you placed the most current Flash Player Uninstaller on your Desktop?
    Have you downloaded and SAVED the Flash Player Installer on your Desktop?
    Have you then Closed all browsers and run the Uninstaller/Installer?
    That to me would be the best procedure. You should not receive that warning in my opinion if your Sys. Admin. has approved Adobe Systems Inc and or Adobe Flash Player.
    Let me know,
    Thanks,

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

    I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David
