Adobe Flash Player for Mac OS X 10.5.8

Report · Mar 14, 2013

I have tried several times to dowload the version of Adobe Flash Player for my version of software, as well as tried all the troubleshooting solutions on the help page and the installation still will not comlete! I have tried updating in firefox, chrome, and safari on my MacBook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8. Please help!!! I do have an alias of some sort of Flash in my finder but I am unable to uninstall it or drag to the trash. I am so frustrated....

What file are you using to install from? Assuming your Macbook is an Intel machine, if you haven't already, can you try this one?

This was the one I was trying to install...I restarted my computer and it gets to 95% and then says installation failed....I then tried again and it fails after 6%...would the alias have anything to do with it?

When I download the file and the finder window comes up it says 1 item, Zero KB available...what does this mean

That's normal, that's just the lack of free space for the mounted .dmg.

Could you try this?

Right click the Install Adobe Flash Player icon and select "Show Package Contents" from the context menu. In the new finder window that appears, navigate into the Contents folder, then the Resources folder. Find the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" file and double click it.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi John,

Since you're posting on an OS X 10.5.8 thread, I'm assuming you have a 10.5.8 system. Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8. The last supported version is 10.3.183.90, released 09-July-2013. It is available for download on the Archived Flash Player versions page.

Download the zip package, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive_mac_only....‌
Extract the contents. Once extracted navigate into the 10.3_r183_90 directory.
Use the file flashplayer_10_3r183_90-Mac_intel.dmg file to install Flash Player

This is very old, and Safari and Firefox will most likely block it, but you can by-pass the block. Depending on the system hardware you may be able to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 and install the latest version of Flash Player. There is lots of information on the web about upgrading 10.5 systems to 10.6.
