While installing Adobe flash player , a message appears "please quit the following program to continue safari'

while installing adope flash player on my new macbook air , this message appears ,, i'm already not using safari ,, i cant think of anything else to close ..help ?!

53. Re: Mac installation says Safari is open, but it is not.
hellohelloworldworldd Jul 2, 2014 9:50 AM (in response to mazion)
If anyone else is having the issue where the Flash install is asking you to close Safari when you know it's closed, try this:
1. Open activity monitor: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
2. Find a process called WebkitPluginAgent and force that to quit.
3. Then retry the flash install.
The above solution fixed the problem for me in OS X 10.10.1 . You can force it to quit by clicking the X in the upper left corner of the Activity Monitor window. After selecting WebkitPluginAgent.

Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.
orange Firefox button > '''''Exit''''' or File > Exit to close Firefox. Then wait a minute or so before starting to install Flash.

Why do I keep getting message "please close the following programs to continue Internet Explorer?"

Even when Task Manager indicates that Internet Explorer 10 is not running, I keep getting this message at 50% Adobe Flash Installation: "please close the following programs to continue Internet Explorer"

Use the Task Manager's Processes tab to end all iexplore.exe instances.

Can't install adobe flash player, error message says cannot contact a reliable source

Everytime I try to download it, it gets to about 7% and then the error message says cannot contact reliable source. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall the previous versions, but no luck. I've tried locating hidden files but couldn't find any. Any suggestions?

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer prior to re-installing?
Where did you download the flash player from?

I have installed adobe flash player. I can not open the file. In plugins under tools it is not showing. It shows acrobat reader being there but not flash player. Any ideas?

Flasher Player should be listed as a plugin in tools for it to work?

Unable to install adobe flash player/firefox/

hours of work alone and with amazon support and still unsucessful at installing adobe flash player. Message says it has been successfully installed, but every t ry at using amazon prime's streaming video gets message it is not installed.
Read that it cannot be straightforwardly installed on Windows 7 operating system when firefox is the browser.
I hope someone can provide me with clear, straightford ward directions about how to do this. Think of telling your grandmother how: mini steps, where to look for the icons or directions you are talking about. single click or double....
Trust me, I worked with an Amazonll technician for over one hour, tried to install aat least 20 times and failed (remember it "tells me" it has been installed, but it ain't working)
So, what are the secrets?
More thanks than you can possibly imagine from one frustrated firefox user.

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac...PluginProcess?

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac. The insallation stops and I am told to exit something called PlugInProcess. I don't know what it is. I don't show it being open. Any help?

The Plugin Process is an app that runs alongside Firefox and Safari when they're open. Lately Firefox's plugin process has been "hanging" on my Mini. I'll close the app but it keeps running and using RAM for several minutes.
Download the Mac Offline Installer here
Quit your browser and reboot if necessary to "kill" all processes.
Then mount the DMG and run the installer.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.
