How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?

How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?  I keep getting update messages.  I go throught the download and install process but there is no option to un-check installing Chrome.  I don't want Chrome. I'm not asking for Chrome.  I just want to update Flash.

There are a few threads around here with this same issue, and as far as I know Adobe has not addressed it adequately.  Many of us, when we are prompted with an update for Flash, are not given the option to opt out of installing google toolbar and google chrome.
Adobe is playing cute, pretending to be surprised at such reports.  They always demand screenshots of it, and then ignore them when the screenshots are posted. Then demand screenshots in the next thread with the same issue, feigning surprise that such an isue could occur. Sometimes they insist it isnt happening or it is somehow user error (as if it is user error to simply allow the update from their app to install after getting the update message from their app!  )
The problem , in my case, was that the update goes to a URL that autoselects chrome and toolbar.  I found if I manually edited the URL, that it would not automatically install chrome and toolbar.
Basically the URL has to be manually edited , so take out the " &a=Google_Toolbar_7.4&a=Google_Chrome_22.0_IE_Browser " at the end AND the "&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=true" bit in the middle.  Then it will give you the opt-out. Then do make sure to uncheck the box, obviously    And it is obvious that the users are not doing this on purpose, this is built into Adobe's updater, somewhere.   I went into a little more detail in   http://forums.adobe.com/message/5274050

  • HT201541 How can I update Safari without updating the OS?

    How can I update Safari without updating the OS? I presently have 10.7.5 and 1.6.1
    I am getting too many notices that my browser is out of date...
    b
    PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion,  Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
    10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

    Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
    So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
    PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?

  • Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

    Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

    What model iPad and what iOS are you running? The max iOS for the iPad 1 is 5.1.1.
    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can I update iOS without losing my media?

    Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
    I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Wait till IOS 7 has been officially released in fall - now it is only available for developers.
    And see this for compatibility with IOS 7 on your phone: (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

  • I have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    i have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
    No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
    I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
    And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
    And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

  • Have 3 Ipads how can I update all without download each time

    I have 3 IPads one one computer how can I update all without downloading for each one ?

    If they are the same model (iPad 1, iPad 2 wifi, iPad 2 CDMA, or ipad 2 GSM/sim) then for the second and third devices just press hold the shift key on windows, or the command key on a Mac, when clicking on the Check For Updates button in iTunes, and then navigate to the IPSW file - if they are different models then I believe that each model has a different update file.

  • How can I update flash player for mini ipad?

    So I try to go on youtube in the safari and it does not let me, it says I have to update my flash player. I press install and it says Safari cannot read. Then I try google and it's the same thing. I don't know what going on!

    Hmmm. We'll my bricked iPhone 4 is unaffected. I'm starting to suspect Dropbox as the problem. It's not on my iPhone 4 but it's installed on my iPad and Macs and I was seeing a page showing Dropbox as a place to update my iPad for Flash a few days ago before I did the latest IOS update.
    I'll see if I can temporarily disable it.

  • How can I download CS6 without installing now?

    I have a Serial CD Key for CS6 Master Suite.  I would like to download the install package to be installed later?  It does not seem to be an option on the download site.  I also would like to buy the DVD backup disks but also can't find how that is done?
    Dan Bellas

    Download a trial, and remember the location where you save the installers.
    Once the download is complete, go the location where you saved the installer and copy them to a location of your choice. You may also burn them on a disk for future use if you wish.

  • How can I nuke HD without install disc?

    I have an iMac (2006) that I will be recycling and I need to wipe the hard drive.  Problem is I have no install discs anymore.  Is there some way to do this?
    Thanks

    Yes, it protects you from wiping your startup drive accidentally. In any event if you sell the computer you need to provide the new owner with the installation discs that came with the computer. Among other things they contain the Apple Hardware Test for that model. Once you have the discs you can prep the computer for sale:
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.
              5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • Can i update Itunes WITHOUT installing Quicktime?

    Is it possible to download an Itunes update without downloading Quick time or are they inseparably bundled?

    I don't need QT. I don't use it.
    If you're going to use iTunes, you DO need it. iTunes requires Quicktime in order to function.
