Safari Version 6.0.5 (7536.30.1)

iMac 27 Zoll, Mitte 2011

Plug-In-Version 11.7.700.225 ist installiert.

Try for about 4 weeks to install the update to version 11.8.800.94. Always get the same message from Safari : 62.159.74.72:80->192.168.2.42:60501 Download request is dropped due to internal error.

I don´t know what else to do to make this work..??? Even tried to download the offline version which i found after a week of research- get the same message trying to download the file..

You aren't running any antivirus, are you?

I am running Mc Afee Internet Security- but was disabling everything for the update process...

Just tried it on our second machine- another iMac with similar configuration- and disabled McAfee Internet Security: Same result..

Have you tried creating a new user (admin) account and downloading it?

Just tried that- created a new Admin Account, disabled McAfee, tried to download: Didn´t work either..

I don't know what is preventing you from downloading that installer.

Can you try to download the latest archive from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html, then extract the installer from there?

@ Pat Willener:  Bingo..! That did the job..! But it would be interesting to know what prevented me to download the update- especially since it was working until that moment without any problems..

Thank you..!

Sorry, I don't know anything about the mysteries of Mac OS...

Is your firewall on?

Turned the OSX Firewall off as well as the McAfee Internet Security Firewall- didnt change anything..
