Update flash player- password issue

Adobe Flash player update is asking for my password which is valid and lets me into my account online, but will not allow me to update Flash Player.....
advice?

There is no sign-in password needed for Adobe Flash. However, your computer account's admin password is required to install software.
Did you not create a password for your computer's login account? If not, then you will need to do the following:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier with installer DVD
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password,
     OS X- Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier).
For Snow Leopard and earlier without installer DVD

    When the Mac was setup you had to create an administrative password.and account.  Yo have to sign into that account to install apps/plug-ins like Flash. To reset that password.

  • 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.

  • HT5655 I followed all the instructions to update Flash Player, but the installation fails at around 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) bit I actually close all Apps. already. can someone help me with this issue ?? Thanks

    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

  • Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

    Hello Everyone,
                            I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have.  We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update.  I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in  as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!

  • I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

    Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
    The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
    I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
    Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
    Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
    When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
    Could that be the main problem?
    I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
    Please help?

    You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
    Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
    Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
    Thanks,

  • Fake request to update flash player

    Hi,
    when I go to a website by safari or any other web browser such as chrome, there is a warning pop-up about requested to update flash player such as "http://facebook.com WARNING ! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue". I tried to deleted all web browser data, history also and restarted the Ipad. But the problem is still happen. Please advise me how to solve it or do you think it it a virus?
    Tks

    Hi all, I got the same problem as you all. I couldn't go into Google, Facebook & Youtube, which the virus immediately prompt me to update with Flash player pro. But today I sucessfully fixed it. You all may refer to below as referennce steps:  1) Hard reset your modem back to factory setting and after reseting done re-setup your DSL modem based on your ISP provided log on information.  2)I did have apple airport express, which I also doing the same hard reset and changing all my password & SSID naming.  That's all is what I did to fixed the problem.   I believe the infection was came from ISP which after I updated my IP TV from my country set top box (Android OS base) 2 days ago, guess this kind of virus will attack & infected the modem/Router. I do not believe Mac OS X 10.9.2 can easily get infected by virus. (Past 5 years using Mac & iOS mobile device never ever get any single virus attack)  Hope this will help..  B/Regards...Alex Ooi

  • Adobe Flash player - Gameranger Issue

    Hello!
    I have an issue with Gameranger (a program simillar to steam). Please take some time and help me somehow, because I have absolutely no idea what more can I do, trying to solve it. I tried almost everything (reinstalling...) googled for it, found nothing useful. So it seems it is more serious and uncommon issue.
    I have been using Gameranger since 2011. I remeber that I uninstalled it because I thought I am not goin to use it anymore. But  few months ago I installed  it again. It does not woek on my computer since than.
    The problem is, I cant run Gameranger.  When I launch it, it says:
    Gameranger: Flash Player Needs Updating.
    Your adobe Flash player web plug-in is Version 1 and needs to
    be updated to the latest version for security fixes.
    Download and run the update from Adobe´s site.
    So when I click OK I am automaticly transferd to Adobe´s Flash Player download site where I follow the instructions and install it.
    So far, so good. But the problem is that nothing happens after installing proces. The same massage again. And I tried to reinstall Gameranger, reinstall Adobe Flash with Mozila Firefox and Internet Explorer but in vain. It happens the sime and it really angers me. Everything works fine in both browsers, but with Gameranger Adobe Flash Player is obviously not recognised.
    I googled for it but nothing really useful. That is the only solution that I thought it is useful:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090214162616AAUg8bI
    It mentions that GR needs Adobe Active-X and also Adobe Flash Playerto to be installed with IE. So i did. NO DIFFERENCE!? Same stupid massage again: Flash player needs updating, Flash Player needs updating... Arrgh ...You have no idea how meany times i have reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash player.
    So please help me bacuse I am running out of ideas, what can I do in purpose of solving this annoying problem. I would also like to say that I am not some kind of experts for these things (I had no problem with Adobe Flash Player in past) and maybe there is just a little trick I dont know, or maybe I am doing something work.
    Thank you!

    That's a 100% a GR problem. Here's what it is.
    GR, like a lot of websites, uses a detection script to determine the presence and version of Flash Player. A lot of older websites haven't updated their scripts in a while and GR is the same way. Older "detection" scripts are based on a one (1) digit version number for Flash Player. 1 is 1, 2 is 2... 9 is 9... BUT  10 is 1 again, and so is 11, 12, or 13 according to the detection script.  I'm pretty sure you still had version 9 when you installed it, but have since updated to a 2 digit version, and that's what's causing this.
    Since the message you're seeing specifically mentions version number and NOT a missing Flash Player, it can't be that you needed ActiveX and didn't have it. You DID and do, and a version higher that 9, but GR's script can't detect a two digit version of Flash Player.
    You can try a "clean install" of Flash Player (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846), but since the problem comes from GR... I don't think it'll help.

  • Update Flash Player

    I am logged in with my Adobe user id. I try to update Flash Player, but I am asked for user id and password. When I try the same as in here I get that it's the wrong information. But there is nowhere to click for lost password. But as long as I'm logged in there should not be any need to log in again to download an update of Flash Player????

    Never mind. I figured it out my self. :-)

  • Updating Flash, Which password is being requested?

    Updating Flash Player, but it doesn't accept my password.  I've updated my passwords to make sure and still it isn't being accepted.
    What password (for which account) should I be using?

    Well, I never was able to successfully set up the account in the USA. Since I returned, I have found the following article which would have been helpful: AT&T: How to set up and manage a cellular data account on your iPad. The setup process itself should contain enough information to allow the setup to proceed.

  • After updating Flash Player, continue to get message "Flash Player Update Required"

    Even though I have just installed Flash Player 12 and it shows on my list of programs, I continue to get the message "Flash Player Update Required" when I try to view a video or play a Facebook game.  I have rebooted but still doesn't work.

    Issue resolved!  I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it from the
    Adobe website.  Then rebooted and that took care of the problem.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169.  YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

    I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
    Any ideas?

    JavaScript and Cookies are enabled.  my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu.  Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
    I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

  • Update flash player on mac os x 10.5.8

    i have a mac os x 10.5.8 and i am trying to update flash player but every time i try i get a message saying it requires 10.6 or higher. how can i update my flash player??

    Running Leopard you can't. What you have is as far as it will go.
    Leopard was the last build Mac released that was a "Universal Binary". In other words, it would run on PowerPC or Intel Processors. Once Snow Leopard was released, Adobe stopped deveopment on Universal binary builds of Flash Player.
    I know it seems like just another "money grab" by Apple and Adobe trying to force everyone to buy a new Operating System, but the entire industry has moved away from the old Apple architecture and software for it.
