Adobe Flash Player Security pop up during installation.

Hello, I recently purchased a macbook this week. My first apple computer. I was downloading and installing a widget, astroids, through apples website and after installation I noticed a dialogue box appeared. It said "Adobe Flash Player Security" as the title and then it showed where the downloaded file was located. I looked in the folder where it said it should be located but nothing was in that folder. I couldn't close the message box, it just stayed their with my mouse pointer doing a circular pattern. I eventually restarted my computer because I didn't know how to get rid of it. My question is should this be something I should be be worried about? Is everything ok with my macbook? Sorry if this sounds silly, I am new to owning an apple computer and trying to get familiar with it. Thank You.

  • Flash Player security Pop up when using camera and microphone.

    Hello Friends
    Can any body suggest me how to remove flash player security pop up for camera and microphone through coding.
    Thanks in advance.

    The security pop-up was first introduced with FP7. If you want to bypass it I can name two ways off the top of my head:
    1. Regardless of ActionScript version (2.0/3.0) in the Flash authoring enviroment, in the Publish Settings dialogue box, the Flash tab, near the bottom choose Access Network Only from Local Playback Security.
    2. Publish your movie as a projector. Both of these techniques will allow to "play" your swf file locally.

  • Adobe Flash Player Security on Mac OSX 10.8.5

    Hello, I need some help. I keep getting an Adobe Flash Player Security warning every time I try to load Pandora on my Mac. I not sure if this is some form of spyware. I've tried to research it online but I can't find anything with this specific error message. Also I've run a few antivirus/spyware programs, but turned up with nothing. I've never come across it before when using Pandora in the past, so I know it's something out of the ordinary.
    Thank you all very much for the assistance.

    There's a local file "/about/srcdoc" (I'd imagine it's in the Muse-Pandora folder) that's attempting to connect to the Internet. This is a "safety feature" built into Flash Player to prevent malicious files from connecting and downloading a virus. Why they have that for Mac OS I do-not-even-pretend-to-know, but it's there.
    Open your System Preferences and the Flash Player pref pane
    Click the "Advanced" tab in the Flash Player Settings Manager window
    Scroll down to Developer Toos and click "Trusted Location Settings...:
    Click "Add Folder..."
    Select the Muse-Pandora folder in your Applications folder
    Confirm
    Close the Manager and retry it.

  • Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

    Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
    The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
    I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
    How do I fix this?

    It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
    But I'm curious. . .  according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

  • Adobe flash player security blocking

    The adobe flash player security  is blocking mail with the message /about/srcdoc is trying to communicate with this interner-enabled location  static.adsafeprotected.com
    How do I get rid of this?

    IanGCou wrote:
    How much of a risk is it unblocking?
    If you select a single site to allow, not much, as long as it's a trusted site and you're careful about what you open there (in this case it being mail, you need to use your own discretion). If you set Flash Player to allow ALL sites, then you may be opening yourself up to anything from spyware to outright viruses.

  • How to fix conflicting version of adobe flash player 4.6 on CS6 installation?

    I am basically just wondering how I go about fixing this issue. I am installing the trial of CS6, on top of  CS5.5. When I start the installation of CS6 I get an error for Adobe Flash Player 4.6 saying it is conflicting with a previous version. How do I fix this issue? I have seen references to a CS Tool Cleaner, but I do not want to mess up my previous software versions.

    Anyone? Can someone please help me. It seems the only way to get this to work is to delete and fully uninstall and clean out my computer of all previous adobe softwares. This is incredibly stupid and such a hassle, but if this is the case maybe someone could chime in and help me in doing so? That would be much appreciated. How do I go about backing up my actions and brushes and workspaces, and plugins, on my CS4 an CS5.5 before I uninstall them all?

  • After Adobe Flash Player downloaded, there was no installer dialogue showed up

    I was trying to download the Adobe Flash Player into my Mac (with OS 10.6.8) via Safari. After pressed the download button, it seemed the Adobe flash player was downloading - I could see the green strip was moving, and the time was changing. After the strip was filled by the green, the box was frozen. The box was blank, with "downloads" on the top. No installer dialogue showed up. Did any one have this issue before? How to fix it? Many thanks in advance! zp12

  • Adobe Flash Player Security Updates after Windows XP End of Support

    Hi,
    I have to check up for our customer, whether there will be any Security Updates for Adobe Flash Player on Windows XP after End of Support next year.
    Haven't found any information on the web :-(
    Thanks in advance,
    Nicolai

    I don't know, and like you, haven't seen anything.
    Here's what I do know.
    Android dropped ALL support for Flash Playe June 2012 and Adobe continued to develop and release security updates for the older Android Flash Player versions up till September 10 of this year.
    Support for Linux ended with version 11.2, but security fixes for Linux Flash Player are still being developed and released.
    Given the still-widespread use of XP in schools and corporate environments, I'd have to say that support (at least security updates) will go on for a while after next June14 when Microsoft officially "sunsets" XP. How long that will be is not info I have.

  • Adobe Flash Player keeps popping up in IE11 just installed

    Hi, I have Windows 7 Professional in my HP Notebook, during a recent windows update, IE11 was installed, now everytime I am in IE there is a window to allow Adobe Flash Player to download, I recently downloaded an update on AFP, what is going on?  this is very annoying, how can I stop this?  Thanks,
    Jose

    When you go to certain web sites ( ABC.com video clips for example ) the ACTIVE X FILTER installed in IE 10 and IE 11 will block the video content. When it does, the web site ( ABC.com ) thinks you don't have Flash Player installed and offers to intall it for you. DO NOT use the TOOLS menu of IE to turn off ACTIVE X FILTERING. That will make you vulnerable to the malicious applets that the filter was disigned to protect you against.
    Find the ADDRESS box on the top left of the IE browser page ( where http://forums.adobe.com appears ). On the far right of the box is a clockwise circular arrow that will REFRESH your current page. Immediately to the left of the REFRESH arrow is a small circle with a diagonal line thru it ( the universal symbol for negation as in NO LEFT TURN traffic sign ). Left click on the small circle and then click on the TURN OFF ACTIVE X FILTERING button that appears in the drop down box. I believe that will turn off the filtering for this one web page and for this visit only. That should solve your problem.
