Whenever I try to update flash player it demands I close a dashboard client, but it doesn't say which one. I have 10 of them running. the installer must know which one, why doesn't it offer to close it (or them)?

see the title.

the installer doesn’t flag the clients…that’s the problem. if I knew what it was complaining about I would kill it. please don’t tell me the installer is really saying “kill all the dashboard clients”. if that’s it then why doesn’t it offer to do it? either a) it knows where the conflict is but won’t tell me; or b) doesn’t know even if there is a conflict and leaves it up to me to guess. great. sure, I could kill them one by one and eventually find out which one, assuming the answer isn’t b), but I really think the installer could do a better job. up to me there would be no flash clients and thus no issues.

Where does that "error" lead you to download? Anywhere else than an adobe.com or macromedia.com website is not an Adobe update.

My flash player when downloading is getting "stuck" at 30% what's going wrong? It also won't allow me to quit the installation and let me re-try

You really don't need to do "secure Empty Trash." Just empty the Trash. If you don't have permission to access some items that means you shouldn't be trying to delete them or you are trying to delete a file you don't own.
If your external drive is used only on your Mac, then it should not be formatted ExFAT. It should be prepared as follows:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Try restarting the computer. Then again try to Empty the Trash. Do you still get the error? What are you trying to delete?

After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed. Install successful but application will not work.

Hello,
After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games. I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications. However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again. I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure. I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work. I check my security settings and it does allow plugins. I erased my temporary internet files. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated! This is incredibly frustrating. Thank you

Thank you for responding! I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5. I have not intentionally installed any ad
blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times. My online
school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system. To the
best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
where the trouble is. I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
besides what I find in the system preference/security tab. Thank you again
for responding and any help is most appreciated.

When I try to update flash player it gets stuck at 30%

I downloaded the file, opened it and started the update process but then it gets stuck at 30%, sometimes 25%. I've tried multiple times, restarted the computer and searched for answers but none have worked.
By the way I'm doing this on a mac.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Script Error when updating Flash Player

I have exhausted the online documentation. This started several months ago. The way that Flash Player updated on my machine changed. I am running XP using IE8. Everytime I try to update Flash Player I get a script error right about the time that the download completes and it is starting to install. The actual script error varies from one attempt to another. The latest error is 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined. Scripting is enabled per the help documents. I have never had to uninstall a previous version before and I'm hesitant to do it now because my current version is 11.4.402.287 and it works. My concern is that if I can't update to new versions eventually there may be problems. I have not made configuration changes to this computer or installed new software for quite a while. The Flash Player update mechanism used to never open a browser window but since I have had this problem that's the first thing it does and takes me to the Flash Player update site. Then the never ending fun begins always ending with a script error and failed install. PLEASE HELP!

If you have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in your Flash Player control panel (in the Advanced tab), you should be getting our silent auto updates. The problem appears to be occurring for you when a major update occurs. You have a couple of options here. First, you can visit the link below whenever this occurs and download the offline installer files that should work properly. The second option is to ignore these update notifications and after 30 days we'll install it automatically (and silently.)

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 Player installed under Premier Elements

How may I update Flash Player filed under Premiere Elements 7? Secunia Software Inspector detected insecure version 9.0.45.0 in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\Browser\plugins\NPSWF32.dll. Same for Premier Elements 4. After I updated Flash Player to 10.0.12.37, I still get these "insecure" notices.

Same thing happened to me.
I just copied the 10 version in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\Browser\plugins to the Premiere Elements folder you have listed there.

Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

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 Preferences

My favorite webpage is requiring me to update Flash Player more and more often.
Every time I update, I am forced to select an Update Preference.
It would be useful if the selection choice from the previous installation were saved so that I wouldn't have to change it every time.

Hi Mr X.
Not sure what to take away from your reply.
So, you're saying that the auto update doesn't apply to the latest version. I'll keep an eye open for that if it's ever offered for the next, latest version. I've never seen it in action before, and changing the Auto Update option to my desired choice is getting tedious. (Did I already say that?)
Having my chosen setting [effectively] reversed every time there's an update is also offensive. The problem should be rectified.
> I don't think that your favorite webpage require v11.5, so it should not be a problem for you.
Sorry, but my favorite "flash audio player" wouldn't open twice in the last one or two weeks, but only gave a message saying that Flash had to be updated first, yadda yadda. I wouldn't lie about something like that. The message said explicitly, "Requires updating to v11.5.xxwhatever-beta." Today, they wanted the 2nd update, and it was no longer whatever-beta. If I said it was required, I don't know why you would assume I'm probably wrong.
In both instances, updating brought the flash audio player back to life. Updating was required, twice, in fairly quick succession.
Although you also say "it should not be a problem for me, it *was.* Evidence my undertaking navigating adobe's incredibly awkward, non-standard, uniquely complex, and user-unfriendly website. It's not something I would do willingly, but ONLY IF adobe was "a problem for me."
Yes, I would prefer if the URL of the audio stream were made available so I wouldn't have to deal with a user-unfriendly blight like Flash. But since the URL is not available, Flash *is* being a problem for me. That's why I'm here. Is it coalescing?
Yeh, this whole thing was sufficiently problematic that I felt it should be addressed. I might go so far as to suggest that if it is a problem for me, then there really is a problem. I shouldn't have to defend my opinion that a there is a problem when adobe neglects to confirm the usability of their product(s).
In summary, I agree with you Mr X. I shouldn't have a problem. Thanks for your help.

Update flash player in domain

Dear friends,
how can I release the update flash player on the computers in a network domain without the users are administrators of the machines.
Thank you.

That's not much help in my case, because it requires you to have a distribution agreement with Adobe. I don't want to distribute Flash Player, I just want to install it on the machines I administer.
I can't even run the new version of the installer successfully, because it attempts to download Flash Player and the machine I'm working on doesn't have a direct internet connection. Earlier versions allowed you to download the full installer, so you didn't need internet connectivity on the machine you were installing to; why has this been changed? Where is the full installer?

Update flash player several time in a few hours when on facebook

Hello,
   I am having to download flash player 10.2.152.32 daily . My browser is eithe window 7 or 8. Often several times a day. I may only be logged on for 2-4 hours. I have windows Vista 2007/ 2 gb memory/ 32 bite. I play the games on facebook daily and when I am on the games I can tell that it's going down and will soon ask me to update. It starts to slow down, pause and freeze and then eventually the whole screen goes white except for the letter" i" /w circle around it. I log off of FB, go to my desktop , disable flashplayer and re-update it again.
   Low and behold another hour or so passes and I have to repeat the process again. I am at my wits end as the vast slowness of the games causes me to sit there much longer that I need to .
   Do you suggest having someone come out and look at my system? I am very technologically un-savvy. I just want it to work.
Thanks

Hi, I think perhaps a step in the process was missed. Try this method to Uninstall and Install FP again. Right click on that Installer on your Desktop and delete it and use the following.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable your Anti-Virus program until after Flash Player is Installed
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check to make sure the Anti-Virus is still Disabled
Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.
See if this works better.
Thanks,
