Flash Player 9 won't install on Mac OSX(PC)

jmiller, are you running Firefox under Rosetta? Flash 9 player doesn't work under Rosetta. Navigate to your apps folder, click on Firefox and then command-I to get info. Look for "Open using Rosetta"

Did you get any help with your problem, becaues i am having the same probleme with my PC. Please let me know if you did and what we can do to fix it.

Thank-you

TMC, yes I tried that, and every combination of qucktime settings. Moved quicktime plugins out of the folder in vain to see if it would make a difference. (Just caused both flash and quicktime to not work)

I'm a flash programmer, and am not able to get flash to work on my mac, it's pathetic. I've been using windows to program for the past month.

Seriously, is there any solution beyond:
1. Quicktime/Flash setting
2. Repair Disk Permissions

Tried and tried, nothing works. The only question mark is what are the funny pdf errors when I run sudo?

Did you try this? I had the same problem. Quicktime update (apparently) couldn't see my Flash websites for a week!! Now, all better..... (I did all the repairing mumbo jumbo and the "remove "this's" and "thats"......)

THIS WORKED!!! BIG TIME!!!!!!!! IMMEDIATELY!! EASY!!

The settings in the Quicktime System Pref pane is different in the later OSX upgrades. In the pane, select the Advanced Tab. You will find a MIME settings button, click this. Open up each one of the settings. Two of them (Images, and Miscellaneous) have a selection for Flash. Deselect those two. After I did this and restarted Firefox, the problem went away.

THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORKED IMMEDIATELY FOR BOTH SAFARI AND FIREFOX!!!!! YIP-FRICKEN-EEEEEEE!!!

I've tried everything!! It's almost been a month since I updated QuickTime, and my flash player died.
I followed Bentley's instructions, after initiating sudo, I get perhaps 50 error messages, one is as follows (too many to paste in):

2007-08-13 11:37:03.258 Install Flash Player 9 UB[599] CFLog (21): Error loading /System/Library/Components/PDFImporter.component/Contents/MacOS/PDFImporter: error code 4, error number 0 (Symbol not found: _QTGetAtomTypeAndID
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime
)
Again, I've repaired permissions, both manually and by "repair disk", uninstalled, repaired, re-installed, repaired, etc. Checked flash setting in quicktime in system preferences etc. Nothing works...
I have 1.83 GHz macbook, v10.4.10... anybody else have the same problem? Am I alone?

The flash installer changes permissions on OSX 10.4.10 Tiger And never fully installs. I'm waiting for Adobe to solve this problem, it is dangerous for your OS.When I installed it my embedded Quicktime started failing also.We need a patch.

THIS WORKED!!! BIG TIME!!!!!!!!

Come on. What is the deal?? Flash has always worked with Mac in the past!!!!!!

I have a G4 PPC 773mhz and i'm running osx 10.4 with the same install issue. I recently resurrected this machine (power supply and hd were dead) and since I installed the OS and got it back online, the player won't work. sites told me i needed the player so i followed the link and downloaded flash player 9... but i see no content. i've followed the instruction listed here... with mixed results.

this excited me... because the descriptions of the problem here seem to be exactly what i'm experiencing...
"Go to your Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Select your start up volume on the left and click the "first aid" tab. From there click the "repair disk permissions" button. Then re-install Flash Player."
... but didn't work.

i can go back to a version 7.xx and get "some" flash to work but not all. i tried the terminal instructions but the sudo part didn't work. i have no idea how to really use terminal but i put it in exactly as shown.

please help.

first you have to go to adobe and get the uninstaller. make sure you uninstall the flash player there already. Then go to disk utilities and click on repair permissions. only when you have done this shhould you install flash 9. when the adobe install page comes up make sure you install the player on the right hand side of the page.
this should do it. I had the same problem but it wasnt until i repaired disk permissions then did a clean install did it work. I know how frustratiing it can be.
