Why isn't the Adobe Flash installer recognizing my Adobe ID password?

I have tried repeatedly this morning to install Adobe flash player and the password keeps "bouncing" - it will not accept my Adobe ID password

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • HT5655 The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right?

    The new Flash installer from Adobe still isn't working, right? We get the "installation failed" messages, and we're awaiting Adobe's follow-up on it?

    Adobe Acrobat 8 has two problems on my iMac. The lesser problem comes when I go into the Print command and click "Preview." I get a message that says that Preview isn't supported.
    Preview is not supported because building a preview of a print job under OS X involves creating a .PDF file. You already have a .PDF file open if you're using Acrobat, so there's no point creating a new one.
    The greater problem just cropped up as I was writing about my problems with Quicktime and Real Player: Acrobat tried to update itself and then gave me a message that says, "Cannot overwrite file /Users/(myname)/Documents/Update5/AdobeUpdater/acrobat8pro-en_US/AUMProduct.dmg .
    That's not a problem with Acrobat. The system is saying that you have a file named AUMProduct.dmg in place already, and you don't have permission to update it. You need to change the permissions on that file so that you can update it, or to use an account which has update permission. Or it might just be locked and you need to unlock it. Locate it using the Finder (you have the complete path to the file listed above) and see what permissions are on the file and whether or not it is locked.
    You might also just put the entire Update5 folder into the Trash and try updating again.
    The file maybe be locked or you may not have sufficient access rights. Please make sure you have write access to this file." Can anyone help? Thanks.

    After downloading, you need to run the installer.
    Could you please visit this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If Flash Player is installed in your machine, it will give you the version number.
    In the following link, you have step-by-step instructions on installing Flash Player on Mac:

  • Why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

    why isn't the edit button not showing in my ESX24 sampler?

    Is that during installation when you see the two icons.. the one on the left looking like a Garageband guitar icon, the one on the right like the Logic Pro platimum record icon?
    Yes.. that one.. with the choice to click on which option you want/are coming from...
    p.s. I'll probably aquire a Mac Mini this fall then upgrade.... I mean repurchase!
    I think I managed to grab one of the last of the 2011 refurb'ed MMS's.... at that super low price Apple were selling them for... before they bumped it up and now, they seem to have none left at all at any price
    However, just in case, I have found this site really useful at keeping track of Apple's refurb stock... and pricing

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

  • Why isn't the radio tuning service working on itunes?

    Why isn't the radio tuning service working on itunes? I get an error message on all of our Macs.

    Maybe one of the 300+ posts about this in the last few days has the answer.  Browse the forum.

  • Why isn't the plugin checker working anymore?

    I check for updates to my plugins very often. The Plugin Check page has been saying that all my plugins are up to date. However, twice now I've clicked the button to check anyway, and found that a plugin was not up to date after all. Why isn't the Plugin Check page detecting when my plugins need updating?

    I don't know what you guys have been doing at Mozilla but you've ruined a decent product!

    I think that the Spam Detector runs before your custom filters, and custom filters only work on the inbox folder. If Spam Detector moved it from the inbox before the filters were run, then the filter wouldn't delete it.

  • Why isn't the iMessage working on my phone? Up until 1:45pm today it was fine, but now it isn't working.

    Why isn't the iMessage on my iPhone 4s working? Up until about 1:45PM today it was working just fine but now it sends it as a text message. I have tried everything in the setting but it still is not working. Any tips would be great! Thanks!

    It should be back up now, they had a system outage. Reset your iPhone.

  • Why isn't the Apple store working?

    Why isn't the Apple store working? I wanted to buy a iPad but I can't because the store isn't working. When will the store start working?

    Apple is in the midst of announcing new products and they normally take the Apple Store offline while a keynote is in progress. The Apple Store will be back up when the keynote is over. Try back in about a half an hour or so.

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

    Why isn't the Youtube app on my iPod?

    I also think that it was a mistake for them to take away the Built in YouTube Application but you could always try to download it from the App Store because their is now an YouTube app i have tried it and it works fine but it is just not the same as the Built in one
    Hope this solves your issue
    Hope they bring back the Built in YouTube App on the next IOS Update.
    Best of Luck

  • Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.
