Q: I cannot make Adobe Flash Player work.
MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
YouTube says i need to update Adobe Flash Player. I have tried everything I know how to do. When I do download from the Adobe page, I go through the three steps and it says it is downloaded in my download file, but when I try to open Youtube, it says I need to update again. I have done the restart steps, holding down keys; I have downloaded from the youtube and every other place I can find. I uninstalled Adobe Flash, it uninstalled, now I have nothing in the Finder, and when I download, it doesn't show in Finder (only in downloads file).
I now have install.flash palyer. osx.dmg
" " " osx-l.dmg
" " " osx-2.dmg
in downloads folder.
I also have an Adobe icon in finder sidebar under devices.
Am I suppose to do something after the three steps Adobe gives you to download?
Please help.
Thank you
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi Arudi,
It sounds like you have downloaded the installer for Flash but not actually ran the installer to install it (open the dmg file and run the program inside).
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014 - Apple Support
But details on the dmg files is found here.
Mac OS X: Using Disk Copy disk image files - Apple Support
To use a disk image file, double-click the file's icon. (It has a filename extension of .img, .smi, or .dmg.)
When it is opened, a new icon representing the disk (or folder) from which the disk image file was created appears on your desktop and in the Finder. It may appear as a plain white volume (as mentioned above) or with a custom icon. This icon remains available until you "eject" it or restart the computer. You may eject a disk image by dragging its icon to the Trash.
Then run the installer inside.
Best,
Nubz
