Problem installing Adobe Flash Player

If by some chance, the version of Flash Player you are trying
to install is already present, the same one won't do anything.

To see the current version of Flash Player present in the OS,
you can use this link to Adobe to see that information:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

If a browser is open or running while you try to install this,
be sure to close the browser in order to install it correctly.

There is a newer version 10 available, for 10.4 & later. Mine
happens to be one of the version 9 builds. Also, some of
the different players (maybe not Flash, perhaps another)
offered an Uninstaller to be rid of the older version before
replacing it with a newer one. Not sure about this one now.

You may also try 'repair disk permissions' in Disk Utility
before and after software updates, in any case, too.

There may be more to this issue...
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

If you have any old / previous version
download & remove it via Adobe uninstaller @

I am also having a problem installing Flash Player 9. I did the "uninstall" to remove any old plug-ins of previous Adobe FP. Now I have the same "install Flash-player-dmg" and the same icon of the FP 9 on desktop. When I click on the FP 9 icon I have 2 documents: "Flash Player. plugin" and the "flashplayer.xpt".
I dragged the plugin to the folder HD>Library>internet plugins, I also ran the "repair disk permissions" from Disk Utility.
When I go to Adobe test site I can not see or hear the SWF clip.
Any help is appreciated.

PS I tried using Firefox 2.0 and Safari browsers

Problem resolved. Solution: I d/l the Camino browser (at someone's suggestion here on the forum). Voila! Able to access the Adobe test site. The strange thing is that the Firefox browser is also now able to access the site which it had not previously...??!!
HTH
