Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Must be Auto update flash Player/AIR [No update alert]

Every second day Adobe are improving the flash player and AIR, so Flash Player must be Auto update to newer versions and (Major and minor) [No update alert]. It should auto check, and auto download and auto update the flash player. There should not be any user interaction needed. And no administration rights as Flash player is already installed on system, Adobe is just auto updating it. So no alert or dialog box to update player just auto update with out any message as Google Chorme is doing right now (Google chrome update the browser application without any alert to user). So Please follow it.
Why it's required: Every second day Adobe programmers are improving and adding new features, but Flash/Flex developers around the globe can not use those features as their target customers (users) don't have the updated version of flash player/AIR. We can show the alert but we know most of users pick the "NO" as their preferred option.
How can Adobe implement this, there are privacy issue: Adobe can implement this by changing their Adobe flash player agreement (for new installations). They can add one "Flash player policy" web page to their website and link at their home page. Adobe can add one more menu element in their setting tab (right click flash player menu). It's will take little time but for future, it will be really easy for developers to adopt the new feature and software from Adobe.
Please think about it.

Hi ersatyle,
Thanks for clarifying.
will flash player be automatically updated while a standard user is connected (no admin rights) and without any notifications.
By pointing the Background Updater to an internal server, yes.
Are those settings will work as I intended?
The AutoUpdateInterval setting in the mms.cfg has no effect on the Background Updater. AutoUpdateInterval can only be used for the notification updater. If you're setting up background updates from an internal server, this property is best dropped from the mms.cfg to avoid confusion. The other settings will work as expected. Once you have your clients set up and tested, I also recommend dropping SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging, since this will reduce the size of the log file.
As we'll use 32 bits browsers do I need to put the mms.cfg file also in c$\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, If it wont work, is it doable?
There is only one location for the mms.cfg. The same file is used for 32-bit and 64-bit browsers. From the administration guide, page 22:
mms.cfg file location:
Assuming a default Windows installation, Flash Player looks for the mms.cfg file in the following system directories:
•32-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
•64-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
Note: The %WINDIR% location represents the Windows system directory, such as C:\WINDOWS.
I hope this answers your questions. Let us know if there's anything else.

Update Flash Player over an Intranet for restricted users

We need to update all flash players in the company to version
9 to get Flex build apps working.
We tried the Flash Player Detection Kit and Flash Player
auto-update without succes!
Problem is we have a few 1.000 employees without Interent
access and without install rights on their desktop/notebook. So we
need to do a 'quiet' installation/update from within our company
Intranet. Is this possible?
Ps.: MSM is not an option (for the moment).

One more note: this seems to be random. I tested it again and
this time the download link shows up....tested it another hour
later...and it didn't. There most be some if/else case that is not
outputing the download link...I'm not sure what the condition could
be.

Flash player must be updated! update or die!

Hello. I am a system administrator to park more than 200 computers, on my initiative, each of them set firefox. Internet access in our company through a proxy server with authentication and this makes it extremely difficult to update Flash Player automatically. And since the firefox happens regularly hysteria about the update flash player to constantly update it manually. Because the user can not simply go to the site and perform the tasks he needs fayrfoks blocks flash player and it's a huge problem. I can not go into the settings and add-ons to install fayrfoks always run flash player because this item is inactive. I'm ready to update fleshpleer every six months or at the time when it is really needed. But update it every month is absolutely inadequate and furthermore creates problems all around, and these problems are much greater than those that may arise as a consequence of violations of imaginary security. These system administrators as I form the main your audience, set the browser on the user workstation and as a consequence, the user then sets the house on their own already familiar it does. But as the firefox became extremely uncomfortable and this problem can not be solved, I'll be forced to go to another browser that does not create problems and remove the firefox from all computers in the enterprise. And probably if you do not solve a problem that they themselves have created, so go more and more people. My question is how to disable this paranoia in firefox? How to make sure that he did not specify when I have to update one or another plugin? And work in normal mode even run any outdated plugin without creating problems to me and users?

Take your complaints to Adobe who makes the Flash Player!
Ask them why they created 5 new versions of Flash since the beginning of December 2014; three of which were in January 2015 alone. Adobe needs to get "its house in order" and maybe fix it right the first time!
Mozilla is just blocking the older versions of Flash due to reported security exploits to protect Firefox users from being exploited by faults within Flash.
''BTW, Mozilla is working on a project using HTML5 technology [code named Shumway], that [hopefully] someday will replace Flash entirely.''

Are you still getting the errors when you attempt to deploy 11.6.602.171?
If so, unless adobe has an actual fix, the only thing I found that worked was to use the Microsoft Fix It tool. It takes about 5-10 minutes per workstation. In your case, that's a lot of man hours.
However, I did stumble across something else that *might* be a possible scripted solution: http://serverfault.com/questions/483437/is-msizap-still-useful-or-is-it-obsolete
You will have to grab the product IDs from the Flash MSI files for the versions of flash you want to remove (using Orca, it's under Property > Product ID). I suspect that the use of msizap is questionable since it's been depreciated, but I didn't have the opportunity to actually test this solution.

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:

How Update Flash Player for Firefox Without Running Firefox?

I have had a problem with Firefox freezing when I try to do just about anything other than simple browsing for at least two years. Updates don't help nor disabling all add-ons, nor reinstalling, etc. Nobody can figure out how to fix it so I use it as-is. I would like to update the Adobe Flash Player add-on but Firefox freezes every time I try. Is there a way to update the Flash Player in Firefox with actually running Firefox?
Thanks
Running XP SP3 and latest Firefox.
Also running IE8 using the latest Flash Player.

That worked, thanks so much. Now all I have to do is figure out where I can find similar files for all the other plugins that are outdated, Acrobat, Java, DivX, etc.
Thanks again.

HT5655 I followed all the instructions to update Flash Player, but the installation fails at around 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) bit I actually close all Apps. already. can someone help me with this issue ?? Thanks

I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

Dear Dominic
Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
Thanks again,
David

O/S Windows XP Professional 32Bit + Ati Catalyst Drivers "10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc" and I am generally using Firefox up to date.
I made yesterday an experiment, removed the 11th version of Flash Player Plugin & ActiveX, and installed from the archive the 10th version of plugin + 11th activex and then everything worked like it supposed to be - fine.But i have failed to install 10th version of ActiveX, i'ts just telling me that cannot be installed, some kind of error.
P.S. I think i've fixed my issues, i tried to install again from the Adobe Flash Player archive version 10.3.183.18 ActiveX & Plugin and i did it.Now .flv are running like 2 days ago - without any problems.
Maybe the thing is that my configuration is slow for the new version of the player,my CPU isn't multicore, but still it is not bad for the Adobe programmers to optimize the new version better for slower pc's.
Cheers!

I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
Could that be the main problem?
I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
Please help?

You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
Thanks,
Suni
