I can't install flash player on my mac

BIUTT

I have downloaded the flashplayer (18) several times directly from Adobe and on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon I select "Show Package Contents" but when I navigate into the /Contents/Resources/ folder there is no Adobe Flash Player.pkg file?

I was installing adobe flash in my mac but after a few minutes the power went out; now i am trying t install it again but the system show an error... what can i do?

Hi !
This problem hardly seems to be Apple related but much more Adobeside.
I am having this issue on a MBP OSX 10.6.8 all updated. My Flash Player version is:

and as you see, the latest one.
Problems arrive by trying to update the AdobeFlashPlayer_17ppau_a_install update.Same issues as all others here:
installs breaks, no  visible/invisible .pkg content under the "Resources" folder(instead "MacOS" folder have a Terminal installer), and if I use it, this is the result:

LAOMUSIC-ARTSs-PB-2117:~ laomusicarts$ /Volumes/Adobe\ Flash\ Player\ Installer/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player ; exit;

See you next time LAO !

[Process completed]

In my short knoledge of Objective-C, an error of __NSAutoreleaseNoPool() has these breakpoints:
// Functions used as interesting breakpoints in a debugger
// void __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(void *object);
  // Called to log the "Object X of class Y autoreleased with no
  // pool in place - just leaking" message. If an environment
  // variable named "NSAutoreleaseHaltOnNoPool" is set with string
  // value "YES", the function will automatically break in the
  // debugger (or terminate the process).

// void __NSAutoreleaseFreedObject(void *freedObject);
  // Called when a previously freed object would be released
  // by an autorelease pool. If an environment variable named
  // "NSAutoreleaseHaltOnFreedObject" is set with string value
  // "YES", the function will automatically break in the debugger
  // (or terminate the process).

Adobe people, do your job right and please set the appropriate environment variables on your installers !!.
Or hire me !!
The issue here is simple: You are releasing with no pool in place !!
A solution would be:
nt main (…) {
  NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

  /// Your code goes here.

  [pool drain]; // This one might not strictly speaking be neccessary.
  [pool release];

  return 0;
}

Where .pkg file???

This link does not work (even after removing the extra space before the ".dmg"

Installation from within package contents still doesn't work. Indeed, the install .app is not in the folder specified in this forum (at least on Mac OS X 10.10.2).

Trying to open via Terminal also doesn't work - leads to error message.

Will try Disk Utility approach noted above to see if this remedies the problem.

Yes. I'm adding to the "me too" category. I did the disk utility bit. I even did the uninstall bit & every time I try to load it back on Safari I get to about 25% download completed and then it does absolutely nothing. It worked a few weeks ago, just noticed it not working a couple of days ago so decided to upload the latest version. Now I have none (for Safari at least). Help please and thank you.

I am also having a problem updating my adobe flash player. It gets to 97% and then tells me I need to close com.apple.WebKit.Plugin.64 and I went into activity monitor and it was not there.. I'm very confused.

I've tried this as well and I've installed Flash a few times. The site: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.235/install_flash_player_osx%20.dmg

Says not found.

I've updated both Chrome and the Flash Plug in

I've gone to chrome plugins and enabled Flash a number of times.

I've shut down and restarted my Mac a few times—With all that, I still get the message: This photo gallery requires the Adobe Flash Player.Get the free Flash Player here.

I also tried the steps offered by Geof. Nothing works.

Is this a Chrome or Safari issue perhaps?

I just figured this out on my own as no one at Adobe will release a playbook that gives proper instructions on this issue.  If you are having issues with the application not installing all of the way, you have a permission issue on the the partition where your Yosemite OS is installed.  Here is how you fix the issue that you are experiencing:

1. Open Disk Utility (press Command and the Space Bar, then type disk utility)
2. Locate your disk and the partition where your OS installed. 
3. Select First Aid (in the right pane next to Erase and Restore)
4. Locate the button "Verify Disk Permissions" and click on it.
5. Wait, get some coffee and relax, this will all be over soon
6. When Verify Disk Permissions is complete, click on the button "Repair Disk Permissions"
7. Now grab breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell someone you love that you love them.
8. After your disk permissions have been repaired, close out Disk Utility
9. Open the FlashPlayer installation file and run the installation again.
10. Finally, whew... Enjoy your entertainment fare.  You made it across the schism that Adobe loves to plague their loyal patrons with.  

I hope this helps someone.  Let me know if it worked or didn't; I am curious if you all will see the same success that I have realized.

Cheers & Many Regards,

Geoff
