About the recent Adobe Flash security problem . . .

Okay, Flash was trashed and I get along without, using Google instead of
Safari when necessary. Still, a lot of sites do use Flash.
Somewhere I got the idea that Adobe has fixed that problem. I'd like to reload Flash but on their site there's no mention of it and I don't see anything elsewhere, so please, what's the present situation?

How to update the most recent Adobe Flash Player on Mavericks?

Does anyone know how to update the most recent Adobe Flash Player on Mavericks? I have downloaded and tried to install it but failed to install. It says "Install Adobe Flash Player" can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

How is one to safely deal with the "Update Adobe Flash Player" Pop-Up?

Good computer security practice would be to *not* click on anything in the unexpected pop-up, but instead close that window and then either:
Go to the Adobe site and download the "Update" from there -- but the site never offers "updates", it just offers downloads of the product.
Open the cited application on one's computer and use its "update" process -- but I can never find the most recent Adobe Flash Player application on my Mac. I've used Adobe's Update process multiple times in the past and the result is multiple old versions of Adobe Flash Player scattered around, but the latest version which the Adobe Flash Player test site at URL: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ says that I have is nowhere to be found. Right now, running that test on my Mac results in the feedback: "You have version 11,0,1,152 installed"
If one does click on the "INSTALL" button in the pop-up, is the Adobe "update" process which is to run supposed to just add another "new" version of Adobe Flash Player (in some non-intuitive place), or is it also to remove the older versions, or at least the most recent older version, of Adobe Flash Player?
Is there some predictable default location where Adobe Flash Player should be installed on Mac OS X?

The download does EXACTLY what the "update" does... it downloads the full new version (about 3.6mb) and OVERWRITES the older version.
In your Library/Application Support/Adobe folder (I forget just exactly where) the plug-in installs for your installed browsers. The updater overwrites the files there.

Adobe Flash Install Problem

After numerous Flash crashes I tried to uninstall/reinstall newest Flash Player with Mozilla Firefox ~ unsuccessfully. Next I tried to complete a "clean install" of the newest Adobe Flash Player using Internet Explorer on my Windows XP. Uninstall & delete files seems to have worked but, I save the install download to my desktop, choose run program and the run program dialogue box disappears then the install program icon disappears from my desktop and there seems to be no evidence of any Flash Player download at all anywhere in my system that I can find. Despite redoing these steps, the results remain the same. What is happening and what can I do to be able to successfully download Flash Player again? Add ons + security features are not set to prevent this as far as I can tell. I had the latest version with occasional crash problems prior to this attempt to correct that, but now I have nothing. Help!

If you are trying to install Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox, you need to download Flash Player using Firefox. I think you downloaded Flash Player using Internet Explorer. I am not clear on why the downloaded Flash Player file disppears from your machine.
Could you please download Flash Player from the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
(the second link)
Close all browsers and double-click the file you downloaded.
Thanks,

My mac is the OS X 10.8.3. I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.' I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all. Help!

My mac is the OS X 10.8.3. I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.' I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all. Help!
PS I'm still new to Macs so the more broken down the better.

Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.42 is the most recent version from Adobe. It is a pre-release version. I am using it without any noticeable problems.
The current stable version is Download 11.7.700.169.

I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"

I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working" I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anything online that has worked.

Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file. Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image. Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.

Adobe flash player problem with IE 7 (flickering or Blinking)

Hello!
I have really anoying problem that bothers me about 2 days..so the problem is when im watching pages ex ( youtube, slo-tech..,) that includes flash. When i looking pages or whatching videos the page and texts or picture starts flickering or blinking also when i move mouse up and down or when i scroll it's horible and anoying. before i didn't have that problem and i have the latest adobe flash player.
sorry for mine bad english =) i hope u understand what i mean it
my specs are:
Intel Pentium core duo e8500 3,2ghz
4gb Patriot viper 800mhz
Windows Xp service pack 3
hope you can resolve problem =)
Regards,

Hello JLavius
Looking at your Java. I am not familiar with IE7 but I know it has different features than IE6 which I still use.
Take a look at your screenshots, the 3 part and the other 2. Are there really 6 Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 ActiveX Controls installed or is this
a screenshot overlap or counted more than once ? In addition there is another ActiveX Plug in same vs 1.6.0_17 but in file npjpi160_...
Then, there is a Java(tm)Plug-in 2 SSV, a BHO (Browser Helper Object) in file jp2ssv.dll
Lastly, there is a JQSIEStartDetectorImp (Not verified) Sun Microsy..., another BHO in file jqs_plugin
I will freely admit, Java is perplexing, but I'm trying to understand why anything takes this many ActiveX Controls and Browser Helpers to run. The 2SSV has it's own BHO and same with JQSIE.
The above is just my observation. You said that you noticed this flickering and blinking (instability) a few days around the time you posted.
Can you remember installing anything new around that time? Any software or perhaps an IE or Windows Update? Something is causing this and trying to pin point it is going to be difficult. You have the most add ons I have ever seen, but you have a great system too and it
looks like it could handle anything.
It may be worth a look in Add/Remove to see what IE or Windows Updates may have been installed around that date. Any program or Anti-Virus update or change?
I would contact Sun Microsystems and ask them about the Java. Flash Player, Shockwave Flash Object and Java work together for the best experience. See what you can find out and post back. If you can't find anything out, you may need to open up a support ticket here at Adobe. Thanks JLavius, I wish I could be more help.
P.S. here is the Sun Microsystems (Sun) forums. http://forums.sun.com/index.jspa

I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

I have always been able to watch videos on line. Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos. When I try to download it won't do it.

Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
IMO 10.6 would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8.
Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
 Most commonly used backup methods explained
Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

What should I know about the recent virus on apple products?

To Whom can best help,
I recently learned about the recent virus that infected more than 500000 computers. I heard many talk about the software apple uses as the safest software available. However, now that I own a few products from apple, this recent virus that got ahold of some personal information has me wondering what is the best route to protect cell phones, ipods, ipads, and macbooks? is there an AV recomended? It would be great to get some adivce from apple techies. I tried looking up some information on the recent problem that had happened, I was hoping it would be addressed on the primary page of apple but found it wasn't. I am just a little paranoid about people accessing my info and try my best to stay ahead of the virus/trojans and stuff. for these electronics are there any really really amazing security apps people would recommend?
sincerely, a concerned customer

First, it's not a virus but a trojan. We mostly recommend ClamXav 2.2.4 as anti-virus software for OS X.
Two Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
The trojan attachs through Java. If you don't have Java installed then you won't be affected. Java is not installed with Lion.

Where can I get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for my Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5?

Can someone tell me how to get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for an Apple PowerPC G5 computer with OS 10.5.8?

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 version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
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.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.
