Can someone help me troubleshoot Flash install on my iMac and Macbook please?

[mrthev]

OS 10.7.5

Safari

On both machines the installer runs, begins downloading the update, sits on 7% for about 30s then jumps straight to 47% and aborts the download with the message 'download timeout'.

It is exactly the same every time. I have tried uninstalling the previous version of Flash, but it made no difference.

The things the machines have in common are:

- they are on the same network, sharing the same internet connection

- they are running the same version of the OS and Safari (apart from differences between iMac and Macbook versions)

I'm not sure what to try next. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please download Flash Player from the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html#installer

After downloading, close all browsers and double-click the file you downloaded.

Thanks,

Sunil

Thanks Sunil - Flash Player has installed successfully.

What was the difference between that installer and the standard one?
