Just bought a brand spankin new Macbook Pro 15inch with Retina and I am running the latest and greatest OS X Mavericks version 10.9. However everytime I try to download Flash Player it does nothing. It tells my the Installation is successful and I know I am performing the steps correctly, but it just does not seem to work. Any solutions?
