When I was installing Adobe Flash Player my MacBook said I had to close Safari but it was closed. How do I close it properly?
What am I doing wrong?
HOW are you closing Safari?
I had the exact same problem. I would "X" out and I thought it was closed, but it wasn't. I found that, after I "X"d out of Safari, I needed to go up to the very top banner, next to the apple icon on the far left (it should say "Safari" next to it), click on Safari and, at the very bottom of the list, click on "Quit Safari".
Then, go ahead and complete the down-loading.
Let me know if this helps.

Install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air
I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it.
You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else. -
What is wrong with my computer or is it the program site that I am in? It keeps telling me that I must install Adobe Flash Player but Adobe says it is installed and up dates do not apply. Help because I cannot go further on the site that I am on and it is a secure site that I have used many times in the past.
What browser are you using? So you have a website pulled up and it is a full screen flash player trying to play or is it a area of the page with a player claiming on the player to install flash?
Check out this link: Flash Player Help
1. Test your Flash Player for versions to make sure nothing happened with that link. If Adobe's Flash Player test through this link says your player is working and up to date then,,,
2. Check your add-ons or extensions, depending on the browser for what they are called. Make sure Flash Player extensions are enabled. That allows it to play within a webpage.
3. Check your Flash Player settings itself. There are settings where you restrict, approve, and so on in different ways. The link I shared with help guide you.
4. Check parental settings. My son plays on this parental control software that always restricts the Flash Player with his games, or videos on Disney, Nick, and other channel websites.
5.I used to have a computer that claimed this all the time. It drove me crazy. I found out for that computer that it did not like an update so I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player. I made sure the Adobe page showing the Flash Player was reinstalled correctly came up, then closed all my browser pages, then reopened to make sure not permission spot popped up to ok for future use.
Let me know if this helps. If not, share your computer and browser type.

Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX
Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?
Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
Happy computing!

Im installing adobe flash player and its telling me to close mozilla firefox to continue. i exited off the internet but it still says i need to close it
Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.

How to install Adobe flash-player on Macbook mid 2007
as I press "INSTALL" button (flash-player 11.2) nothing happens. I know that my computer does not match requirements of 11.2 version, but please let me know if there is a suitable solution for my case.
If that requirement is significant that these flash players require 128MB of vram then I suppose this whole thing is an academic exercise with you having only 64MB. Perhaps you can hunt down a version 10.x of the Adobe Flash installer (not sure where) but again whether that will work with lion is yet another question. So you may be between a rock and a hard place trying to use flash with lion.
I believe Chrome has flash support buillt in so maybe you should try that when needing to play flash videos. -
Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on Macbook Pro
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.9.5 and I am trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player Version 16.0.0.235. The flash player shows up in my downloads, but the icon is different that what it is supposed to look like. When I double click on the download, a text file appears and I can only open the download through "Text Edit". I have tried everything and I can't figure out why this is happening. I have attached a picture of what the download looks like on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated
