Why am I having trouble downloading Flash?

I was under the assumpiton that Flash (and FlashPlayer) came as part of the OS 10.9 package.
It isn't there. And when I try to downoad it from Adobe or other sites, the file simply doesn't trasfer over. I'm not talking about the small "Installer". I mean the actual program the Installer plugs in?
What am I doing wrong? Could this be something in my Safari Preferences dealing with Cookies, Plug-ins or Security? I know little about those settings.

I was happy with Safari, but didn't want to go on a fishing expedition just to enable a Flash download,
I hear you about Chrome. I'll give Firefox a try.
There is no fishing. Just download it. If you cannot download the Flash Player installer from Adobe's website, you have something wrong with your system that will affect more than downloading Flash.
I tried to ask for more information on that problem, but you responded with more conflicting info.
I'm guessing that you downloaded the installer dmg, mounted that, then ran Adobe's installer?
Is that correct?
If so, Where do you run into the problem? It will ask you to quit Safari, and if it is running on a background user, you'll need to quit it there, too. Otherwise, the install won't complete.

Having trouble downloading Flash

per say I go to a site like youtube, it tells me I need to
install the latest flash player. I go to the site click download
and the blue bar doesn't come up it just says "done". Even the few
times it did come up after I would click install the box would go
away and nothing would happen. I expect this to be my Norton
antivirus, but I would hate to have to unistall the whole software
just for this. Is there something specific I can do under "internet
options" that would adjust some type of settings?
Thanks!

For 3 days I've been uninstalling /reinstalling and it's
driving me crazier. The only place flash plug in shows is in the
add/remove area for my xp OE. Is this a zipped file needing
attention and if so where is it? I did a computer search and
everything else adobe shows but not the flash. There is no error
message it just is not showing anywhere including programs.
If this isn't the right place to ask for help maybe someone
can direct me to proper forum.
Thanks much,
LindaC in OK, just a nice senior lady needing help

Does anybody know why we are having trouble downloading/updating any apps since the 7 upgrade?

Is anybody having a problem downloading and/or updating any apps since the 7 upgrade?

No issues whatsover. And with automatic updates, I don't even have to think about updating apps. When you open the App Store and click on updates, what do you see? If you see a list of apps with an Open button on the right, your apps are updated. The new OS provides a list of the apps that updated. If you see an Update button next to the apps, they aren't updated.
Have you turned on Automatic Updates in Settings?

I am having trouble downloading flash player on windows vista,can anyone help

I've tried everything installed, uninstalled, restarted, downloaded,enabled,prompt,changed adminstrator.I need help

Hi, ok that's good. Since you don't have any Anti-Virus program installed, you need to go ahead and Install the AVG, just
follow the instructions. Then be sure to Restart your computer.
Download the Uninstaller for Flash Player here and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for Firefox:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Before you begin:
Using IE, go to Tools, Internet Options and under the Security Tab make sure it is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Disconnect from the Internet, check the system tray and make sure to disable any applications that use Flash. Refer to the Uninstaller instructions.
You should have an AVG icon in your system tray. Open the user interface & double click on the Resident Shield and UN tick the "option Resident Shield active", and SAVE the changes. Next find the LinkScanner, double click on it and UN tick the "Enable AVG Search-Shield" and the "Enable Active Surf-Shield" SAVE the Changes.
Don't connect back to the Internet until that step is listed.
Now Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, when finished, Restart your computer. Then Restart again (to clear old files)
Now Run the Installer for IE and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
Then Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Restart your computer Once.
Now Re-Enable the AVG steps you took to Disable.
Now you will connect back to the Internet.
Then go here to the test site:http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can check your websites. Post back when you are all finished.
If you have any questions before or after, just post.
Thanks,

WHY AM I HAVING TROUBLE DOWNLOADING THE CREATIVE CLOUD APP?

Hi folks,
I purchased the creative cloud desktop app through a university web site. The app is on my desktop but when I try to download it, it freezes about 1/16th of the way through. I've restarted my computer and tried it multiple times. No error message---it just freezes.
I have a 40year old Macbook Pro, 4 GB memory and 2.4 GHz processor. I MAY be close to my storage limit but have received no messages to that effect.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
NG

NG please try the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

We should start by actually identifying your Mac,
Open Spotlight and type (without the quotes) "System Information" when it opens look for the model identifier (usually second line down) post it here.

Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen?

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.
