Why Cant I download Flash player?

When I try to download the latest flash player, I press run but when I press that, a file comes up saying "Open with" and under it says choose the file you want to use to open this file, I click Exploer Internet and I cancels out, I keep trying but the same messages keeps comeing up, I do the same thing but the same thing happens!
HELP!!!!!!

Which browser are you using Garret?
Try using a different browser and that should help.
Also, try saving the setup file to your desktop and then double click on the file to start installation from your system.

  • Why we cannot download flash player

    WHy we cannot download flash player..""

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why I cannot download Flash Player in my old Mac OS X, Version 10.4.11?

    I have an old Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and I cannot download Flash Player.
    Can someone tell me why or how?
    Thanks,

    Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. Locate a Flash version that will work in Tiger. Or you can try upgrading the hardware and software in order to use the current version of Flash. But that would depend on exactly what hardware you have. Only Intel hardware can be upgraded to Snow Leopard and beyond.

  • Why directed to download flash player when I already have it?

    this is my first problem encountered while downloading Adove Flash Player. I was trying to watch video on you tube. after i clicked the start button to begin, it asked to download "Adove flash player" to watch this video. I was never asked to do this. I tried to download it anyway. After  running 99 seconds and 1 sec left, it paused. I clicked pause box it changed to running security scan. I clicked run again.Then "user account control dialog box came up and asked if I want to allow the Flash Player to change settings. I clicked yes. Then the Flash Player Installer window appeared and it shows that Chrome is already installed in my computer. Is there anyone who can help me with this?. I tried several times with same results. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Pat
    Thankx for your reply. I was away busy doing other things. My OS is window 7 and it happened only with ATT.Yahoo. When I clic video on You Tube, it says  I need Adove Flash Player installed in red box. And right beside it, there was another note and it says "You are using outdated browser, which You Tube no longer supports. Since some features on You Tube may not work. You are viewing a lightweight version of the video page. Go back to the regular page.". When I clic the " go back to the regular page" viedeo started to play. It never happened before until I reported on Wednesday. Same video played normal on Google Chrome. My current Adove Flash Player is 11 Active X.

  • Why Can't I Download Flash Player?

    I have repeatedly tried to download Flash Player after getting pop-up messages from Adobe that tell me I cannot open attachments to emails because I need Flash Player 9.0 or higher.  The messages say to download the latest Flash Player click here.  I follow the instructions to the letter and get a message that the download of Flash Player 10 has successfully been completed.  Then the next time I try to open an email attachment I get the same failure message.  I have also gotten led to an Adobe tutorial entitled Flash Player | 64-bit operating systems which directs me to select the 32-bit Internet Explorer system on my computer by going to Start>Programs.  I followed the download instructions using the 32-bit IE system and the download message says that Flash Player 10.0 has been successful.  But I still cannot open the email attachments and still get the message that I need to download Flash Player 9.0 or higher.  If I go to my complete list of programs on the Install or Remove Programs, I find a listing for several Adobe products such as Acrobat, ReaderX, Digital each of which has a size in bytes.  Flash Player 10 is listed but there is nothing shown in the byte size column.
    My computer is a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion with an Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40 GHz  64-bit operating system using Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2.  The default browser which I use is Internet Explorer 64-bit.
    I'm 80 years old and trying hard to get along with computers.  Please know that any help provided on this frustrating problem will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  And please make your suggestions in great detail without assuming I know very much. 

    Hi James, Check and make sure the Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled in your IE manage addons.
    In FF, look for the Shockwave Flash plugin and make sure it's Enabled.
    Make sure you are using the 32bit browser and not the 64bit.
    Also check this for IE: (you want this OFF, not on)
    To turn on ActiveX Filtering
    In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
    To turn off ActiveX Filtering on a specific website
    In Internet Explorer, click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then click Turn off ActiveX Filtering.
    To turn off ActiveX Filtering on all websites
    In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
    I don't have time to check on why Chrome is not working. Make sure your Anti-Virus is not blocking.
    Also when you are trying to Install, all browser windows must be Closed.
    Will check back later, but it's best to start you own topic as Pat suggested and flutie has done.

  • I cannot download Flash Player:  why and how?

    I can not down flash player. Why and How do I do it?

    Hi, skyskyblue2,
    I can't quite tell whether you can't find Flash Player to download or once you start downloading, problems ensue.
    Can you give us a bit more details about the problem?
    Also, here's a link the Flash Player help hub.  It has a Download Flash Player and links to answers to common problems with Flash Player.
    (I'm moving this messge to the Installing Flash Player community forum so experts can chime in.)

  • Why do I constantly have to keep downloading Flash Player?

    Why do I constantly have to download Flash Player?

    If Flash Player is not installed, you need to download and install the same.
    In the following page, you have step-by-step information on how to do that: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_heading_5
    If you have already done that, ensure the following:

  • Why is downloading Flash Player 11 so glitchy?

    I was trying to download Flash Player this morning, the 1st of September and the download stopped at 50% saying to close Interenet Explorer so I did and I did the install again and the same thing popped up. I'm kinda stuck on what to do so any help would be grateful.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right-clicking either or both of the following links and selecting "Save target as" or "Save link as".
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the file(s) to your downloads folder. Reboot. BEFORE opening anything else, run the installers.

  • Why get error msg, "failed to register," when downloading Flash Player

    turned off all firewalls, virus protection and popup blockers
    downloaded flash player uninstall and install
    ran both and still got subject error msg

    Hi H, Following are the procedures for the Uninstall and Install of Flash Player.
    You may want to print these instructions out to make it easier for you to follow. Don't connect back to the Internet until
    you get to step #10.
    1. Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    2. Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for Internet Explorer:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    3. Disconnect from the Internet
    4. Close all browsers, check system tray for any applications using Flash and disable
    5. Disable McAfee per instructions and McAfee Firewall- You don't have to disable the Windows Firewall
    6. Click on the Uninstaller and RUN. When it is finished, Reboot
    7. Check to make sure McAfee is still disabled, then check your Flash folder and make sure no files are listed. If there are
    any files in the Flash folder, RUN the Uninstaller again. Then Reboot, and check the Flash folder. Check McAfee before you
    run the Installer and make sure it did not become enabled on the last Reboot(restart).
    8. Run the Installer. When finished, Reboot Once.
    9. Re-enable McAfee and the Firewall
    10. Re-connect back to the Internet.
    Go here and test: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
    Check your Flash folder and post back what files are there. Also find in ALL add ons the Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (version 10.0.45.2) and make sure it is enabled. Post that info back also.
    Hokiejsv, I know this takes time, but since McAfee re-enables itself on the reboot(restart) of your computer, it must be checked. Otherwise it will block the installation of the ActiveX Control which must be installed in order for Flash Player to work.
    If you have any questions, please ask before you start.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
