Why am I unable to download the latest adobe flash?

Every time I go to update my Adobe Flash it tells me I cannot continue unless I close the safari, but I do not have it open, and I am unsure of what to do to get it to successfully download.

Are you trying to update through the System Preference pane? If so, try going to -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - and downloading from there. The pref pane installer might 'think' that Safari is open, so try this route.
Good luck,

  • Unable to download the latest Adobe Reader upgrade?

    Every time I attempt to download the latest version of Adobe Reader I never receive a RUN command.  My modem appears busy, but nothing happens?

    Mandeep5062,
    Thanks for the quick reply.  I tried to download but got an error message that this FTP file cannot be downloaded via Internet Explorer.

  • When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

    I have downloaded the latest Adobe Flash - it says successful but will not work. It says to 'Manage Plug-ins but the Plug-in says it is enabled but it will not work at all. I have tried disabling and then enabling - no success. Please help!

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {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). <br />

  • How to download the latest adobe flash

    Everytime I try to dowbload the latestversion of adobe flash; I can't: Blocked Plug-in shows instead of the program. What does blocked plug-in mean? How do I download the latest version of adobe flash?
    Thanks

    I have the same issue.  2 days ago I upgraded (at Adobe's recommendation) my Flash Player (which was working fine!)--now I can't get anything except the message "Blocked Plug-in".  And, I called Adobe almost an hour ago for assistance, told they would call back in 12-17 minutes, but here I am still waiting.  This same thing has happened to me before and I cannot remember how it got fixed.  I'm thinking Adobe may not be the best company with regard to servicing their products.

  • My mac is the OS X 10.8.3.  I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.'  I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all.  Help!

    PS I'm still new to Macs so the more broken down the better.

    Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.42 is the most recent version from Adobe. It is a pre-release version. I am using it without any noticeable problems.
    The current stable version is Download 11.7.700.169.

  • HT4623 I am unable to download the latest iOS 6.0.1 software to my iphone because there is not enough available space.  I try to sync my phone to itunes and says it doesn't recognize the device and to reset the iphone using Settings on the iphone.  Help?

    Here is my problem:
    I'm unable to download the latest software iOS 6.0.1 to my iphone 4 because there is not enough available space.  I tried to sync my iphone to itunes and it says, "itunes cannot read the contents of this iPhone.  Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." 
    I backed up my data to icloud to ensure everything is backed up.  Is there a way to verify if data was really backed up in icloud?
    What else can I do in order to free up enough space to download the newest version iOS 6.0.1?  Current version on the iphone is 5.1.1 and there is only 1.6 GB of space remaining.  I need 2.5 to download the software.

    If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
    So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

  • I am unable to download the latest version of Itunes.

    I am unable to download the latest version of Itunes.  The message reads : "Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall Itunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error193)".
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Thank you Roger for your detailed explanation of how to resolve my problem, but it turns out that the Firefox did not like the download and when I went into IE it all went smoothly.  But I did learn a lot from following your instructions.

    In spite of good wifi connection, I am unable to download the latest ios 6. Is there a way out? While I can access my mail, web and do other internet-related activities, I can't access Updates page on App store.

    Komalesha-
    Try again.  It is possible Apple's update server was overloaded when you tried before.

    Hello, no way you should need iWork to "Agree"!?
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    And if you're really at 10.4.2, then get this and apply it...
