Why can I not install adobe flash, I get a message saying it will not install while firefox is runing

When I try to download adobe flash player everything goes fine and the download finishes. When asked to install I get a message that says it will not install while an application is running. Which is Mozilla Firefox

Adobe Shockwave Flash needs to install plugins for Firefox, and Flash needs to do that with Firefox closed. So close Firefox and run the Flash installer.

  • Since installing Mavericks I'm getting a message that Shockwave will not load

    Since installing Mavericks yesterday I am now getting a message that apple cannot load Shockwave Flash - cannot play any games on Facebook because Flash will not load - tried disabling the oldest of 2 versions but that made no difference.  Any suggestions?

    I did a full factory reset on the Apple TV and then set evrything up again. Synced all my stuff from the computer, which seemed to download ok, but still get the "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content" message. It's very frustrating. All the content was purchased from the iTumes Canada store, I'm in Canada but can't watch it on the TV. I tried changing to the US store but same message. I think I'll just give up. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with an Apple product and I have never used anyrhing else but Apple. Thanks for your help anyway it's much appreciated.

  • Why can't I use adobe flash player to watch Utube vedios?

    Every time I try to download a vedio I get a message saying apple will not permit adobe flash player.  what alternative do I have to allow me to watch or access Utube vedios?

    You're probably using IE11. This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser, at least until Microsoft gets their act together and fixes IE..
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why can't I download adobe flash player-I have tried several times

    Why can't I download adobe flash player, I have tried everal times

    The download does not install Flash. You should find the downloaded file in your Downloads folder. Double-click on the .dmg file then double-click on the installer icon once the disc image has been mounted.

    I understand what afevrier is talking about and I am having the same issue.  I can look under system preferences, flash player, advanced and it shows me that I have the most current plug in version.  I click check now and I downloaded the most current version, but still, cannot access any thing that requires Adobe Flash.  There must be some other preference that we have set up that is not allowing us to use this.  Thoughts from anyone??
    A few questions. Where in Adobe Flash System Preferences does it say you have the most current version before you click Check Now? In my Flash Preferences at least, if I have the latest version I will be told that and not be offered to download it again. You can also find out what the most current version is by checking here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ as well as what Adobe sees you have installed.
    What browser are you using Flash in? Do you have any extensions installed, such as NoScript or Ghostery which sometimes interfere with Flash working? There are other extensions too which cause such problems but are IMHO essential none-the-less for reasonably safe surfing.

    Hi Vickie,
    As Kirsti mentioned, getting your OS and any error message will be helpful.  In addition you might want to review this help document which covers the common installation errors:

  • Why can't I download adobe flash player on my I pad?

    There is no Flash Player for iOS.
    Why did you post this in the forum for Adobe Reader?

  • Why can't I add adobe flash player to my iPad?

    Why can't I download adobe flash player to my iPad?

    Because Adobe has never made a version of Flahs that can run on an iOS device like an iPad.
    You can try out a Flash supporting Browser like Photon or Puffin and see if you can view whatever you are trying to view through there.

  • HT201364 I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"

    I am unable to redownload OS X Mavericks on a Late 2013 new Macbook Pro 13". I get a message saying "We could not complete your purchase" " OS X Mavericks can not be installed on this computer"
    I nee an easy way to resolve this with Apple.

    why is it this problematic to resolve?! obviously there's a valid installer image for our macs, why can we not have access to it to use on our laptops?
    I do not understand, nor accept the explanation given before - about it being a newer model... it doesn't make sense... how does that translate to "no download available".
    also, if it was a valid point - we would have had that download with the release of 10.9.1 - which we don't.

  • Adobe Air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged....

    Every time I try to install new product through adobe air I get this message: The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author. Kiran Kumar: May I have the product name and version you are referring to? I've looked over the online suggested repair which indicates to search for and delete Adobe Muse but when go looking for it, it doesn't seem to exist. How can I get this resolved?

    Finally found a fix on my own....Wasted like 3 hours today. Hope this helps for anyone struggling with that stupid error message:

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here;
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    Then right or control click the Flash Player.plugin then click Get Info
    The version number is noted there.
    Assuming you are using Safari ...
    Check Safari > Preferences > Security
    Make sure:  Enable plug-ins is enabled.
    Sometimes uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstaliing new can help > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video / audio from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
