Hello,

If you're just closing the browser window, you're not actually quitting the application.  You need to quit the application for Flash Player to install.  There are a few different ways to Quit Safari:

Quit Safari app from the Dock icon:

Mouse over the Safari icon in the Dock

Press CTRL and left-mouse click at the same time

A menu will display. Click Quit to terminate the application.

Use Activity Monitor to terminate Safari:

Launch Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor

Ensure 'All Processes' are being listed (menu in the upper right)

Find and select Safari

Click the Quit Process button (upper left)

I can't download the newest version because it keeps asking me for a password that I've never had.  This stupid frigging program has frozen my Mac - can't watch any video.  I've talked to others who have said the same thing - asks for a password that you've never given or been given.  How do I get this to work.  Very frustrating.
