Why won't Flash Player download?

I'm trying to download Flash Player on OS 10.6.8, but all that will download is the installer. When I click on he installer, it simply downloads the installer again. I've gone through all the suggestions on the Adobe site for this problem.

I got the same result: A small window appears, indicating that the file was downloaded. I click on that and I get another file that says to Install Flash Player. I click on that and an icon appears on my hard drive; the icon indicates that it's the same installer as before. So I click on that, and I get a file that says it's the installer. It's going in circles. Awhile back I did get in my applications folder a file labeled "Flash Player.plugin" but clicking on that brings no result.
In my applications folder I now have five icons labeled "Flash Player," all of which simply tell me to Install FP. I also have in the folder four docs labeled "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" but none of them will install FP.
I have had an older version of FP working, but when I received notice that I needed to upgrade, I tried to do that. I also took the advice on the Adobe site to use the FP Install Manager to delete that old version. The deletion worked fine; the installation of the upgrade doesn't work.

Help why won't flash player work??

I got a Nokia lumia for Christmas, its saying flash player is installed but it won't work. It says it may be disabled or something about ActiveX, but i don't know how to sort it out, Anyone able to help please?

login with the admin account and uninstall
then login with your normal account and install the latest
flash player, it's the newest on the flash player 9 package.. Don't
forget to close all browser windows before installing.
To be on the safe side, uninstall the flash player using this
package
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Be aware of this:
Note: Internet Explorer users may have to reboot to clear all
uninstalled Flash Player ActiveX control files. If you're not
certain, select the "Show Details" button in the Flash Player
uninstaller. If there are any log lines that begin with "Delete on
Reboot..." then you'll need to reboot BEFORE running the Flash
Player installer again.

Why won't Flash Player install past 25%.

I have OS X10.10.2 Yosemite and am running Safarii Version 8.0.4 (10600.4.10.7). I have uninstalled the previous version of "Flash Player" and have tried to install a new version from url - https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. The installation only gets as far as 25% before stalling. I have let it run for an hour or more and it still won't budge. Can anyone help?

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Why won't Flash player install on my windows vista?

After downloading and installing Flash player several times on my computer the installation fails in spite of the message reading that it has successfully installed. As a result I am unable to view videos from my favorite photo sites. Using internet explorer on a 64 bit system.

Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer.
Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.
I have a Vista Utlimate 64 bit system and it worked for me the way I described here.

Why wont Adobe Flash Player download?

I want to play a game on facebook called Miniplanet, but It says I need to upgrade my flash player. I did what it said but there is one thing that didnt pop up, the accunt control box didnt pop up. I was thinking that this might be the problem but Im not sure. Also whenever I go into miniplanet it says I need to upgrade so I think it didnt download.

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.
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#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/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Why won't flash player work with ios10.5.8?

I get a message saying "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date". Then when I go to dl update, I get a "failure to launch" message.

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:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
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 Won't Flash Player Install?!?!

I am trying to install the latest version of Flash Player for my Mac (on Firefox), it never gets past 97%. I have uninstalled and tried to download again and again. The installer window would not close without uninstalling it. Now I do now have Flash Player at all!!! What am I supposed to do?

Please use the offline installer:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
If that doesn't work, it's typically something corrupted with either the filesystem or filesystem permissions.
Before running the disk repair utility, you would be wise to ensure that you have current backups if you have anything important on the machine.
Then go to Application > Utilities > Disk Utility
Choose your hard disk from the left column (typically Macintosh HD), then click Verify Disk and subsequently Repair Disk if necessary. After that, do Repair Disk Permissions. Oddly, sometimes Verify Disk Permissions will come back clean, but Repair Disk Permissions with then find a repair a bunch of stuff. You can do both, but just skipping to Repair is faster.

Why won't Flash Player, play?

The Flash player installs fine, so it says, and then when the window comes up to show it is working, no video to verify it is working. Now what? I have taken the security settings off and deleted all the past history, deleted old versions of Player. Still will not let me access sites that say I have to upgrade. I see a lot of problems with this flash player 10 but no real solutions. I am running IE8 with Vista. Any help will be muchly appreciated.

Hi there.
I am new to this forum and signed up just so I could include my own frustrations with this very same problem!
I am located in Canada and prefer to watch streaming video over regular TV. For some reason, the CBC player stopped working for me when I upgraded my Flash Player. I do not recall which version of Adobe Flash I had installed when this problem started to occur but I know it wasn't the most current version (10,3,181,34) that I have now. But it definitely seemed to follow the Flash update.
I have Flash version 10,3,181,34 now. I have updated to Firefox 5. Active X, javascript, etc is all enabled. I have walked through all of Adobe's troubleshooting steps. I have tried disabling my anti-virus. I tried re-installing all of my browsers, plug-ins etc. yet the problem still persists. And I am in the exact same boat as the poster in that I can still watch Flash player streaming content from all other websites but not from CBC.ca!
So I was happy to see someone made a post about it because it is incredibly frustrating and CBC.ca doesn't respond to inquiries/troubleshooting complaints directly.
I'm pretty technologically adapt as I am a system administrator and lon-time IT professional. Should I ever get this problem resolved, I will be sure to post here, otherwise I will pop back now and again and see if anyone else has come up with a solution.
Cheers and thanks again to the poster for posting this!

Why Won't Flash Player Auto Update?

I'm running OS X 10.9.5. "NPAPI Plug-in version 15.0.0.152 is installed." I'm being told an update to Flash Player is available. Allow Adobe to install updates is enabled, yet the updates are never installed automatically. What must I do to have Auto Update work?

Flash Player HAS auto update available
The updates are not simply "patches" anymore. That sort of thing went the way of FAT16, several years ago.
You shouldn't have to update every day. If you are, something is wrong.
