Why isn't Flash Player a 1-Step Process to Install?

Like how Spotify updates upon re-open of the program.

It depends on the browser.
Flash Player is a built-in component of Google Chrome and Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher. Neither requires a separate download or update.
For other browsers, building, maintaining and distributing Flash Player to 1.2 billion users is a tremendously expensive undertaking for a product that we offer free of charge. We provide bundled offers with the downloads as a cost-recovery mechanism, which adds some friction to the installation process.

Why isn't flash player not working?

have macbook pro, downloaded flash player 12.0.0.4 ??, it won't play. In one suggestion, was told to check system preferences>
go to advanced>check version. Checked and showed have latest but it keeps telling that i don't have latest. Size is 17.5MB downloaded was 961KB
what does that mean? Am i doing something wrong? I appreciate it if anybody can help. Thank you

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. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 3
Take this step only if you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, and Step 2 doesn't resolve it.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select from the menu bar
 ▹ Software Update...
The App Store window will open. You may see a "Checking for updates" legend at the top of the window. Wait for it to disappear. You don't have to install any updates, just check. You can then close the window.
If you're running an older version of OS X, ask for instructions.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page 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.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 6
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 7
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 8
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.

Why isn't flash player available in my tablet's country?

I live in Canada and just got a tablet. Whenever I open the browser it alerts me that I haven't yet downloaded flash player and gives me the option to redirect to the download page, but then it isn't available in my country. I bought an android tablet instead of an ipad mostly because they're supposed to run flash player The tablet just came out today, will it become availabe eventually? Is there any place other than the tablet included app store that I could download flash player?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer(s)

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check

In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Because.
Apple and Adobe could never come up with an OS that liked flash and a version of flash that worked on the OS. So never the twain will meet. and now Adobe is abandoning mobile flash in favor of other things, so it's become a moot point.
With the surge in the number of mobile devices and the fact that a lot of them don't use flash, site creators will need to take mobile devices into account when they create their sites and assess their accessibility.

Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 2 , install window shows 1 item Zero KB?

Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 2 , install window shows 1 item Zero KB? Even tried an uninstall and same thing, shows 1 item Zero KB? WHY?

Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!
Konwill
