Note that because this is an old version of Flash adobe flash player for mac os x 10 4 11 PPC Macs, it may be subject to security holes and its advised that you upgrade to an Intel Mac. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Since Safari 10 was introduced with macOS Sierra in 2015, Adobe's Flash Player has been disabled by default - previously you needed to disable it manually. Clearly Apple isn't prepared to leave. If your Safari version is earlier than 10.0, follow the steps mentioned in For Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9, or For Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7. For Mac OS X 10.11, macOS 10.12, and later Open Safari, and choose Safari > Preferences. Adobe Flash runtime provides a platform to console quality games to browse and play with HD quality in full screen. Flash runtime comes with support for Mac, windows and various data formats. With adobe premium access protected video content, broadcasting channels and other subscriptions can be enjoyed.

Release Notes - Not.
This week my El Capitan system reported that the Flash player was out of date. So I did the usual thing and went to Adobe, downloaded the latest (21 A) installer and kicked it off. After entering my password, the installer went through the usual 'downloading ..' part and commenced on the installation part, at which point it failed, showing me this:
What I did was the same as I had done many times before, but this time it failed - and I tried multiple times and also downloaded the installer multiple times.
Any ideas?

I had this problem on & off for years, it's something to do with my firewall, which I've never been prepared to fiddle with just so I can get an online installer to function properly.
The simplest workaround is to go get the full downloadable .dmg version instead of the online installer.
For the past few years, it's been located at http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
or you can Google 'adobe flash player offline installer download' which always finds it.

I did eventually find a solution to my Flash problems...
... I uninstalled Flash from every machine in the building ;-)

I had the same problem and after hours of installing, rebooting, and dredging through archives, I finally solved the problem by opening Library > Internet Plugins and dragging Flash Player plug in and
Allanflashplayer.xpt
in from an old backup. And hey presto, Flash Player is back.47.5k16 gold badges78 silver badges185 bronze badges

I had the same problem, updating Flash in OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan), and the solutions posted here didn't work, including the accepted solution from May 2016 pointing to 'distribution3.html' at Adobe, which currently (Nov 2016) redirects to a new page providing only the web installer. After multiple searches, I learned that that page had a deprecation message on it for about a year before Adobe removed it and redirected.
Annoyingly, the place to go for a fix appears to be an ever-moving target—Adobe's way to help us all love Flash even more. As of early Nov 2016, the full download version is here:
Who knows where it will be next month. The self-contained installer there (18.9 MB) worked without problems for me. Find it in the 'Still having problems?' section near the bottom of the page.

I had the same issue. I installed OS X Sierra and then installed Flash again without any problem.

Ensure you enable Active Scripting - select Internet options, security, scripting, active scripting (last option at bottom of list). This fixed it for me.
Cheers.
