Need to install Adobe Flash Player, struggling with password? - Answered by a verified Mac Support Specialist. I have downloaded the Adobe Flash Player to my Mac, but I can't get the highlight, italics, etc., to function. It is asking for my Adobe Flash Player password. I am looking through my list of passwords and see nothing for Adobe. Flash player free download - Free Flash Player, Adobe Flash Player, Flash Movie Player, and many more programs. The 'Adobe Flash Player Update' pop-up states that Adobe Flash Player is out-of-date and must be updated. Be aware, however, that this pop-up is not genuine and attempts to trick users to install. Rather than updating Adobe Flash Player, set-ups install a number of additional PUPs.

You may want to start over with Flash by using Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in your Utilities folder. When prompted for a password use your Admin pw.

Download the latest version of Flash direct from Adobe: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Once installed, and if you are using Safari, make sure that Enable Plugins is ticked in Safari Preferences>Security tab.

For your Apple ID (not your computer admin pw) have a look at Keychain Access in Utilities. Click on Passwords and then find the entry 'daw.apple.com...........', select it, click the show password box, enter your Admin pw at the prompt and it should show you your Apple ID pw (I think the information I'm giving here is correct). That should confirm what you think your Apple ID pw is.

Then do a restart and try logging in to your iTunes or Mac App Store account.

If that doesn't help resolve your Apple ID problems, not sure what to suggest next other than re-visiting:

2. Are you being asked to close the browser?

On Safari, the installer closes the browser to proceed with the installation.

Follow these instructions.

3. Have you checked if Flash Player is enabled in your browser?

For Firefox on any OS, see Enable Flash Player for Firefox.

For Safari on Mac OS, see Enable Flash Player for Safari.

For Google Chrome, see Enable Flash Player for Chrome.

For Opera, see Enable Flash Player for Opera.

4. Did the installer start installing?

You don’t know where the Flash Player installer has been downloaded.

By default, the files are downloaded and saved to the Downloads folder unless the 'save to' location is changed manually.

1. After downloading Flash Player, close all browsers.
2. Locate the Flash Player install file. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file is saved in your Downloads folder.
3. Double-click the installer file to begin the Flash Player installation.

Choose Window > Downloads or press Option+Command+L. Control-click the downloaded file and choose Show in Finder.
