Is it safe to use adobe flash with lion

Is it sfae to use adobe flash with lion on my macbook?

Note that fake Flash installers are a common way to sneak malware into your system, and there's one going around right now called Flashback.  Because of this, never ever ever click a link like the one Kappy gave you!  Now, Kappy is trustworthy...  but it's still always the safest bet to go to the Adobe web site directly.  Type "www.adobe.com" into your browser's address bar, then click the Downloads link on the Adobe site, rather than clicking a link that takes you anywhere else.

    Considering that the vulnerability is in Internet Exploder... I'd have to say "yes".

  • How to use Adobe flash with iPad?

    Is there a way to use adobe flash in safari with the new iPad? I am a new ipad user. Thanks

    No, flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • A safe alternative to use adobe flash player on iPad

    I have found that there are some alternative browser options/apps out there that will allow you to function on iOS with sites that use adobe flash. Im wondering if this is a good idea, since I need to use it with a particular budgeting/bill pay site that is linked to my banking accounts? I use this site every day to pay bills, budget and track spending, but it will not work on ipad or iphone due to requiring flash. This is one of the few things that makes me consider replacing my old laptop with another PC vs going to a second ipad in our home. I have to have access to this site when I am away from my mac or other PC. Just wondering if it is a safe and secure idea to use one of the alternate browsers like Puffin, or another work around app since Im dealing with financial information?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

    Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.

    How can i download and install and really use Adobe Flash Player on my MacBookAir with OS X 10.8.2 ??

    Hello Allan,
    thank you for your promt message. I have download the installer like many times before and install the flashplayer like many times before, too. But it does not work ... only getting the black screen ... but then, after checking some settings and defaults i realize that i have to switch in Safari > Security > Plug in to status activated !!!
    Shame on me and sorry for wasting your time, but i started with Mac 3 weeks before and have to leave windows-thinking !!! But i am convinced that mac is the better way ...

  • How can I see Web sites using Adobe Flash Player with my IPad?

    I've realised that it's not possible to visit web sites using Adobe Flash Player.
    Is There a program by which Apple allows you to solve this problem?

    Not from Apple, no, and probably never will be. You can try one of the third-party app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services. You may find other suggestions for apps in the many other threads on Flash in this forum.
    Regards.

    Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Why can't u use adobe flash player with iPad II ?

    I use adobe flash player a good bit on my pc but I cannot download it from my ipadII why?

    it's an Internet Browser add-on and apple doesn't allow any add-ons for the Safari Application due to security issues, certain add-ons could give potential spyware, virus, or other things to get your personal information.
    Apple computers allow add-ons because typically people aren't using their computer to make emergency phone calls and things like that like they do from the mobile devices, so the computers can afford to get errors and crash while it would be a huge liability for Apple to allow the phone's potential harm.

  • How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
    He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
    I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
    How do I fix this?

    hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
    I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
    currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
    and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
    by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

  • Should I use adobe flash player ?

    Hi,
    I am an OSX user version 10.9.4
    I have for some time been using Adobe Flash Player and since then I have problems watching anything that moves. I get a message box from Adobe asking me if Adobe can use more space on my disk. What does this mean?
    Is there a better program other than Adobe Flash Player?  Or do I even need a Flash Player? Is there a Flash player in Mavericks?
    Lovely Day to You

    In my experience, the biggest risk with Flash is that unscrupulous third-party web sites may say you need to update Flash and actually load you up with malware. Please see these older articles:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tag/fake-flash-player/
    Flash is safely managed by ignoring popups telling you to download a new version. If you see one, go to System Preferences > Flash Player and select the "Advanced" tab to see what version you have:
    Then go to Adobe's Flash Player download site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    and compare the Flash version shown there with what your System Preferences show. If you are below what is shown, it is safe to update from that page AND THAT PAGE ONLY!
    Note I set my Flash preferences to "Never check for updates. That way, any popup saying you need to update is known to be a scam that could damage your computer. I manually check for new update about twice a month. You can easily set a Reminder if you feel you won't remember to check.

  • How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

    I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player.  This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com.  A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one.  And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference.  I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success. 
    I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient.  But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers.  Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am?  If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player?  Thank you in advance for your information.
