Is it worth it to keep upgrading Flash?

It seems like at least once a week, I get a popup to install the newest version of Flash. You have to close down about three apps for this to install. I'd rather not do this and completely remove Flash. Any website using it needs to be deleted from the Internet.
Is there really anymore reason to keep shutting down apps to do Flash upgrades?
I'm on a Mac and use Safari.

Not updating it will expose you to some serious security threats. Personally, I've removed it entirely from my machine. I don't need it. If websites really want my eyeballs, they'll provide alternate ways of accessing their content.

you mean you have a problem with the stand-alone flash player? or you're having a problem with flash pro?

Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification? I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru. LOL

How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

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.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

BBC iplayer ceased to function, have upgraded Flash plugin but still no success, help please.

Using Firefox on XP the BBC iplayer no longer functioned so upgraded Flash but iplayer will still not play

*Regarding Safari:*
Have you tried repairing permissions & restarting?
If you have an Intel-based Mac, running Safari in Rosetta can also resolve some QT plug-in issues.
First quit the app if it’s open & then, in your Applications folder, select Safari & press Command+I.
In the General area of the Safari Info dialog that appears (click the disclosure triangle if this area is not already expanded), select Open Using Rosetta, & then close the Safari Info dialog.
Relaunch Safari.
=============
If you are using Safari then I suggest that you check out Safari 2.0 Help Webpages aren't working (indicated by boxes with question marks)
Also try the following:
Unchecked the java option in the safari security prefrences.
*Regarding FireFox:*
Which version of FF are you using?

Can't upgrade Flash Player to 10.0.32.18

Hello,
Has anyone had any issues when trying to upgrade Flash Player to the latest version? The installer seems to hang and never completes.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried to install it with all browsers closed and it still failed. I then ran the uninstall and that failed the first time but worked the second time....so i have no flash player installed atm.
I downloaded the installer again and when I click on the .pkg file the installer shows up in the dock but again nothing happens. (I also can't shutdown the machine after this happens...I have to hold the power button)
Basically since the SL update my MBP has become very unstable.
cheers

File keeps crashing Flash

I hit save, and closed Flash. Went to work on it again, and

that I haven't lost all my work? I have a backup, but that won't
open now either!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

My sisters iPod four keeps on flashing betweeen the start up logo and the homescreen.weve tried charging it, restarting it and even connecting it to the computer but it's still doing it..... What can we do?

if it is taking screenshots, the home button might be defective from the hardware side. Restoring "as new ipod" without using the latest backup could solve the problem if it would be software related.
If it's a hardware problem, you should contact Apple and get it serviced, or visit an Apple Store if you have one next to you.

I keep getting flashes on my pogo screen and everything is updated except i haven't updated to firefox 5 cus it says it wont support certain items is it safe to update to firefox 5 and still play pogo and will flashes go away

As stated I keep getting flashing on my screen when playing pogo games. Everything is updated, cache is cleared, javascript is cleared. It is also happening in IE8 now. I prefer using firefox as I am sight impaired and it's easier to use and see. Techs from Webroot and Pogo have checked computer and can't find anything that would cause this. I am afraid to update to firefox 5 for fear it will get worse. HELP please

From the Firefox help files;<BR><BR>
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

How to keep Adobe Flash Player up to date on 100 computers?

I would like to keep 100 computers updated to the latest Adobe Flash Player version when a new version is launched. The users do not have administrative privileges to install software and Adobe Flash Player cannot be updated automatically. There are cases when Adobe Flash Player disappears after a new version is launched.

Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail. Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
Anyone know what's going on?

If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

I recently installed the new system on my iphone 5 and now the iCloud Drive keeps Upgrading (buffering) for days now eating up my battery. What to do?

I have an iPhone5 that has the iOS 8.0.2 software installed.
Since the installation iCloud Drive keeps Upgrading (buffering) and I can't get it to stop. In the meantime, it is eating up my battery.
The other problem is that I now have to shut the phone down using the top button so that the icons page goes away and my phone goes black.
I have lost 8% of my charge in one hour and have only sent 1 small text.
Can anyone help please?

Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer

Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4).
I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy a new computer at this time.
> Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??

Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years.

Is it worth it to keep upgrading Flash?
