Existing users, 
How about 3 hours later trying to install Flash on a new Mac Book?
Repairing permissions, creating a new test user to try to install, downloading the uninstaller from Adobe... yes there is a Mac uninstaller who would have thot?
i have used macs for over 20 years... i have tried the sudo. install Flash etc...
so how long should i try to spend installing a program on my mac... this is not normal. This is not Adobe... so what has happened since they bought Flash...
i still get a error creating file after the installer is down to only two left ---
Error creating file.
1008:5,-5000 Access denied error
This is the most pathetic experience i have ever had on any Mac and this is what i do every day as a Consultant... soooooo
the whole reason for buying macs is the time factor which no one ever seems to deal with.
"Money comes and goes, time just goes!" © is what i have told people for years. all my hundreds of reasons for owning a mac are related to time... But ADOBE get your act together - is is most unadobe like and most unMAC like... until this is fixed i cannot give you any report - let alone a good report. thanks, Ian

Is Adobe for Real with Flash - adgraphix
Flash is now working - went to the macosxhints forum and found some info... Here is what I did.1. I uninstalled Flash 9 with unistaller provided by Adobe.
2. Quit all programs
3. Went to Applications/utilities/disk utilities and clicked on 'repair disk permissions'
4. It ran for a few minutes, and when it was complete, reinstalled Flash 9 and got the welcome graphic from the Adobe site that said -
'You have version 9,0,47,0 installed.'
Thanks to folks on the macosx site! I was pulling what hair I have left out.
My equipment: Mac OSX v 10.3.9, on 1 GHz PowerPC G4 laptop
Firefox/2.0.0.6, Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6)

Quit all applications.
Used the Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Installed with the latest Flash 9 UB installer.
Flash now works in my browsers.

Just a few quick pointers folks:1) ANY time you install something major, like ANY Apple update, it is CRITICAL that you REPAIR PERMISSIONS both BEFORE *AND* AFTER the installation.
2) It is also CRITICAL to REPAIR your BOOT VOLUME before any major installation as well. The fact is that most problems that result after major installations are the result of either pre-existing problems with the boot volume OR messed up permissions left after the installation.
3) Adobe are the WORST ( W O R S T ) offenders when it comes to leaving behind messed up permissions. Every single time I have installed anything at all by Adobe over the last couple years on my Macs the result has been permissions chaos. So: ALWAYS repair your PERMISSIONS after installing ANYTHING from ADOBE.
I used big loud capital letters because some people need to be woken up to get the clue. This will save you a lot of headaches with Mac OS X.
Share and Enjoy,
:-Derek

Any information on how to get Flash content working again? I downloaded the suggested update and then nothing worked anymore! I downloaded the uninstall - the first time I have seen that for a Mac program, and the last, I hope - reinstalled Firefox, quite everything, restarted the computer, installed the Flash Player 9 update again and still - no Flash content - just annoying messages saying ***** tried to load Flash content and failed or somting to that effect depending on which browser used.Need help, please. I teach computers for a living and this one has me freaking out.
