Flash player integrated in Mac Os

Hello,
is the flash player integrated in mac os directly from adobe?
Or does apple implmented their own flash player.
I am wondering whether i have to update the flash player manually from adobes homepage or does apple distribute their own update.

No, you update it from Adobe. As all Adobe applications seem to have a few security issues, Apple's security updates generally includes a correction to these, but the latest FlashPlayer update from Adobe was a security update!
Hope that makes it all clear!
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, as mentioned here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1
using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)

I can't install new Flash player on my Mac

problem with new Flash player installation on Mac 10.9.5 and Safari : it download, starts installing and stops at 81%.
I went through all the proceedings shown on Flash Player support and it still does not work

Did you also try the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg ?

Problem with finishing install of Flash Player on a Mac. When finishing by entering the requested password, the dialog box jiggles as if the p/w is invalid. But it works in the Adobe site.

I am trying to install Flash player on my Mac. All the steps are working as they should, until the point where I am asked to enter my password. I do this, and the dialog box jiggles as through the p/w were invalid. However, it works to sign in to the Adobe site. I just changed it to be sure and checked again.

There is no password required to download or install the Flash Player. Chances are your Mac is requiring you to enter its password to allow the installation to occur.

How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, current Flash Player version 11.6.602.180), but each time that I download the installer and run it, there is a "General installation error" soon after starting the "Installing" phase.
Each time, the installer completes the "Creating Install" and "Downloading" phases, but soon after starting the "Installing" phase, an error occurs "Error: General installation error" and Safari is opened tohttp://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=30&type=inst all&appid=500
Is it unusual for another "Install Adobe Flash Player" app to open? When the "Installing" phase begins, a second flash installer box icon appears in the dock, but then closes immediately and then the first installer shows the "Error: General installation error" page.

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Flash Player update for Mac OS X 10.5.8

Does anyone have any ideas how to update my flash player on my Mac? It has the following: OS X 10.5.8 which has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I tried updating directly from the Adobe forum related to this, but it only lists the option from 10.6 to 10.10 now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

If you're on an Intel Mac, you can probably complete the installation. I don't *think* we'll block you at install time. That said, we're using the MacOS 10.6 SDK, so there may be problems. You should be eligible for a free upgrade to Yosemite, and you might want to consider it.
Running a Flash Player from the archives means that you're missing all of the security fixes that have been shipped since that build was initially released. If you're surfing the web, this is generally a pretty bad ideal, even on Mac. You're going to be much safer running current versions of the OS and Flash Player.

Trying to install flash player on a Mac. I keep getting an error message that I need to close Safari to continue, when Safari isn't open at the time. How do get past this impediment?

What Pat said:
Open Safari
From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
You can now proceed with the installation.

How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5 has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Problems with Flash Player on a Mac

    I recently installed the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac. Now, it's broken. Every site I go that uses Flash Player either displays a message "Missing plug-in" or "Typeerror: #1009" (I think that last is correct - the message disappears from the screen after seconds and there's no way to capture it.
    I'm on a Mac running 10.6.8 and the latest Flash Player downloaded today. I've checked the preferences to make sure everything is set correctly (i.e. plug-ins enabled and Javascript enabled), I've gone into storage and deleted all the stored data in case something in there was corrupt. I don't know what else I can do.
   This version of Flash Player appears broken somehow.
    Anyone know where I can download older versions that work?

Look at it this way: The websites that incorporate Flash on their sites wrote their code to follow the specs provided by Adobe. If the new version doesn't work on those sites (where it worked before) then either Adobe changed the specs and didn't tell anyone, or the code they wrote is not backwards compatible. Yes, I know there's an argument to be made for the sites writing bad code but that would account for a small number of sites, not dozens like I'm seeing.
Either way you look at it, whether I'm running the old version of Flash Player or the new version of Flash Player, there is a subset of websites (different in each case) that I cannot access content on, and that's Adobe's fault for the most part. I now have to choose which subset of sites I can't access - the ones that won't work with the old version of the software or the ones that won't work with the latest version.
I've always been unhappy with Adobe. This just makes me more so. It's one of the reasons why I've vowed NEVER to buy an Adobe product and never to recommend Adobe products to anyone. I only tolerate Flash and Adobe Reader because they're somewhat necessary. If there was an alternative to them, I'd use it. For the most part, I use Preview instead of Adobe Reader on my Mac and get along just fine. But, I haven't found a good replacement for Flash.
If there's anyone out there from Adobe reading this thread: Fix your damn software!!

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
1. Adobe flash player install manager: when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
2. Flash Player: when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
But it never seems to install or open.
Any help would be great, thanks!!
