I've download the correct update for my platform. It decompresses and I click on the icon to run the update, but it won't open. The icon just bounces in my dock for along time and then eventually settles there, but there is no program window to speak of. Please help.

    Correct answer _maria_

    Yes, there is a .dmg Here is the link:

    AdobeFlashPlayer_21_a_install-4.dmg


    The -4 indicates you've downloaded the file several times.  Please do the following:

    - Launch Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app) and unmount any Flash Player installers that have been mounted.  If you don't have the option to unmount an item, restarting the computer will unmount it automatically.

    - Delete all Flash Player installer files you've downloaded, empty them from the trash as well

    - Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer

    - Launch the installer - does it work?

    if it behaves the same, please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac  page in the 'Still having problems' section.

    What operating system, including version, and browser is this?

    What is the file name of the installer you are using?

    There is no such file name for Flash Player installer.  Could you have transposed some of the letters?  Is there a .dmg at the end of the file name?  What is the link to the site you downloaded the file from?
