I recently updated to OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and cannot install Adobe Flash Player. I deleted the old one and new one stalls at 90.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Reboot your iMac. Shut down any virus protection software or any 3rd party software that might be running in the background including anything else from Adobe. Go to Adobe's web site and download the newest version for El Capitan from their web site. Follow their installation instructions.
Where did you get the installer from? If it wasn't from this website, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, delete the install package and get a new one from the Adobe site.
Next, reboot and try again with the new installer. If still no success boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there.
Thanks so much for your response to my question. I did download from that website but it didn't work. I have no idea what to do after I start up in Safe Mode. I'm not very computer literate to be able to do things like that without specific instructions. If you could tell me step by step what to do after I go into Safe Mode I would be very grateful.
Once booted into Safe Mode run the Flash installer again and see if it will install successfully. Then reboot normally.
I'm sorry to be such a pain, but I still can't figure out what to do once I am in Safe Mode. How do I run the Flash installer from there? I don't see anything that indicates a Flash installer and don't know what to click on when I am in Safe Mode. Thanks for your previous responses to attempt to help me.
Download the flash installer from this page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Once in Safe Mode open the installer .dmg package and run the installer.
I am having this same issue. I updated to macOs Sierra and then adobe asked to update it gets to 90% and stops. I have done every trouble shooting possible and still nothing.
I did finally find an article from Macworld.co.uk which says that Apple pretty much is blocking Adobe Flash Player because of security vulnerabilities. I think it would be nice if they would give us the option instead of deciding for us. I still don't have any idea how to get to the installer .dmg package to run the installer when I an in Safe Mode, so that hasn't worked for me. This has been very frustrating.
I have tried everything and it does not work gets to 90% and stops. If they have blocked it, it would make sense. Thank you very much for the response. I will keep looking around. If I find anything I will post hear again.
(First check that you have checked the box Enable Plug-ins in Safari Preferences/Security! )
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
I have an iMac 2012 and it is doing fine the only big app I had was CS6 standard from Adobe. All of a sudden I could
not open either Ai or Ps or any on this software. I have never had any problems before. I have been on El Capitan with
no problem. The real trouble was when an Apple call person trashed the 2 programs from the software and had me try
to install my software without uninstalling the rest of it. I spent 3 hours on chat with Adobe people and with many links
to solve it and still it says it will not initiate the opening of the download. I am very upset with Adobe as their instuctions
are not very clear and I feel something in side this Mac is jammed and needs to be undone. Hope you may have some
idea or do I have to take this iMac to the Mac store and have them go thru it. All other apps and everything seems normal.
