Trying to update Flash... Won't accept my password.

What is with this thing?  I'm downloading away when in Step 3 it all crashes to a halt when it won't accept my password.  How do I get past this ?  All I want to do is update Flash!

Adobe software does not involve passwords.  It might be your computer requiring you to allow the processing to occur rather than something the update itself is doing.

  • 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.

    this is a mere adobe bug - they changed the installer & it wont support installation on windows 2000 system any longer. adobe doesn't seem as it is going to fix this bug, see [https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3120661].
    you might want to try this installation method provided by a 3rd-party-site: [http://www.ortwinpinke.de/en/2012/03/13/install-adobe-flash-player-11110262-and-later-under-windows-2000/]
    please note that mozilla firefox won't support the windows 2000 platform any longer after the release of version 12 of the browser & the system is no longer supported or kept up to date with security fixes by microsoft too. in order to keep your computer & personal information on it safe you may consider upgrading to a newer system.

  • I-phone 5 crashed durning software update.  Now won't accept backup password.

    Just tried to update software on i-phone 5.  A backup was made.  Something crashed durning update and my only option to move forward was to restore the phone to the original settings.  Now it won't accept my password to reload the backup; however, the password works elsewhere.

  • I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

    Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

    I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
    P.S.
    If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

  • I am having (2) problems, 1. When I open Firefox, why do 6 to 8 multiple windows open? 2. I tried to update Flash, and now that window opens every time I launch Firefox with a drop menu asking me to install.

    Problem 1: I launch Firefox and 6 to 8 windows open.
    Problem 2: Every since I tried to update Flash this happens. I have done this 12 times, but it still keeps trying to open.

    I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
    Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
    If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
    In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
    Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

  • Changed Apple ID now mobile phone won't accept the password

    I changed my Apple ID using my laptop.  I have synched my phone since then, but somehow my phone now won't accept my password.  I'm trying to download an app and it brings up the old apple ID and then says my password was entered incorrectly.  My password is not incorrect and I am able to get into my apple account via my laptop.  What can I do? 

    On your Phone sign Out of your Account... close All open Apps.. and Perform a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    Now try it...

  • Mavericks won't accept my password and I can't authenticate any actions

    Following my recent mishap (https://discussions.apple.com/message/25466460#25466460), I successfully reinstalled Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Here's the new problem. It won't recognize me as the administrator. I'm the only account in my laptop, and when I try to authenticate any changes in the system preferences, I type my admin account and password, but it won't accept it! The password hint even shows up, but it still won't accept my password!
    What really bothers me is that whenever the window opens, the Name: part is empty. Before, my account name is automatically there, and all I need to do is to enter the password! I am super super worried right now, because I don't want to reinstall Mavericks again.
    Thanks!
    P.S. On a side note, I was not able to oversee the completion of the reinstallation. I was out during the last few hours it was being reinstalled.

    more details about my problem:
    following the reinstallation, I just wanted to check if the system file I had messed around with (the one mentioned in http://idevicedailys.com/os-x/howto-use-candybar-os-x-mavericks/) was still okay. But this shows up:
    I tried using other sudo nano commands like sudo nano /etc/hosts but the same result happens. Please, I am super super desperate!

  • Cannot update flash 15 on Mac. Password window is blank

    Hello All,
    I am trying to update flash on my mac (OS 10.9.5 with Safari V 7.1). The window where I would normally enter my username/password has no text and is unresponsive (see screenshot). I cannot enter my information. I tried running the uninstaller as well, and ran into the same issue. Any ideas? I'm a linux person, and relatively new to mac. I'm not sure if this an issue with Adobe or with mac.

    I haven't seen this before.  My primarily machine is the same config.  This prompt is thrown by the operating system, which makes it really odd.
    If you haven't tried it, reboot your machine and run the installer again. 
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM on your mac:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    Let me know how it goes.

  • HT4718 lion won't accept my password. HELP

    Hello
    I had to change my hard drive. I reinstalled Snow Leopard with the DVD that came with my Mac Book Pro. Then, I used my time machine to recover all my information. Everything worked just fine. Then when I wrote down my password to log in, it didn't recognized my password. After many times of trying a crossed circle appeared, so I had to erase the HD and do the process all over again. This didn't work because it won't accept the password again.
    Is there anything I can do to recover the password or to make it accept it.?
    I had the Lion OSX in my time machine.
    Please help so I can use my Mac again!!!
    Thank you
    ADTM
