How to install the free Flash Player

Mac Instructions

The Flash Player is available as a free download from Adobe.com. Click this link to go to the download page (link should open in a new window) and follow the instructions below:

1) On the page I've linked to above, click the download link for either Intel or PPC Mac (if your computer was made before 2006, it is a PPC Mac)

2) A file will download to your computer, probably to your desktop. This may take some time if you are still using dialup (slow) internet access. When the download is done,

Intel Macs will see this icon:

PPC Macs will see this icon:

With either one, just double-click it to continue. Intel Macs may see the second icon appear on the desktop after double-clicking the first one (the second is inside the first, like a shipping box). If nothing else happens automatically, just double-click it.

3) A window will open, and you should see this icon:

Double-click it, and the following screen will appear:

Just click continue, and on each following screen click the blue button. When asked to agree or disagree, click agree. Keep clicking through a few screens, and at the end it will tell you it's done.

Once it's done, you should be able to play Flash video and audio on my site and many others on the Internet.

To make sure it's working, either insert one of my easy video lesson CDs into your computer and try watching a lesson, or go to WorthGodwin.com/flash/ -- if you hear the audio message from me (make sure your speakers are on and turned up) then Flash is sucessfully installed, and you can watch video and listen to audio on my web site, as well as use my lesson CDs.
