Adobe Flash Player Security on Mac OSX 10.8.5

Hello, I need some help. I keep getting an Adobe Flash Player Security warning every time I try to load Pandora on my Mac. I not sure if this is some form of spyware. I've tried to research it online but I can't find anything with this specific error message. Also I've run a few antivirus/spyware programs, but turned up with nothing. I've never come across it before when using Pandora in the past, so I know it's something out of the ordinary.
Thank you all very much for the assistance.

There's a local file "/about/srcdoc" (I'd imagine it's in the Muse-Pandora folder) that's attempting to connect to the Internet. This is a "safety feature" built into Flash Player to prevent malicious files from connecting and downloading a virus. Why they have that for Mac OS I do-not-even-pretend-to-know, but it's there.
Open your System Preferences and the Flash Player pref pane
Click the "Advanced" tab in the Flash Player Settings Manager window
Scroll down to Developer Toos and click "Trusted Location Settings...:
Click "Add Folder..."
Select the Muse-Pandora folder in your Applications folder
Confirm
Close the Manager and retry it.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you need to update Adobe Flash. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • 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.

  • Mac Safari "Adobe Flash Player Security" issue

    Using Captivate 5.5 for Mac. I've been having sporadic problems viewing my published .htm files in Safari. I always get the "Adobe Flash Player Security" popup on initial load, but before today I could usually just click OK and refresh the browser window to play the Flash content. Today I can no longer view the content in Safari. (Firefox plays the content fine.)
    The popup says "To let this application comminicate with the Internet, click "Settings". When I click Settings, my Mac OS Flash preference dialog opens. But the only options available are "Local Storage Settings", "Camera and Mic", "Playback" (which pertains to peer-assisted networking, not local playback), and "Advanced" (which only allows you to delete local files). Just for experimentation, I tried adding my local path as an allowed site in "Local Storage Settings" but it doesn't have any effect.
    I don't have any other problems using regular Flash-based websites in Safari. Only my published Captivate files spawn this security popup.
    How do I fix this?

    It worked! Thank you. (Actually, I used the related URL for "Global security settings for content creators" (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04a.ht ml#119065) since that URL is intended for local development/testing, whereas the link you provided is for sites on the Web.)
    But I'm curious. . .  according to Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html), "Beginning with Flash Player 10.3, the Local Settings Manager supersedes this Online Settings Manager for managing global settings on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers." Yet the page goes on to explain when one would use the online Global Settings. This is very confusing. If the local Settings Manager supercedes the online manager, why would the online manager still be required for certain uses? And why isn't a link to the Global Settings manager provided within the local Settings manager. What am I not understanding?

  • Adobe Flash Player Security pop up during installation.

    Hello, I recently purchased a macbook this week. My first apple computer. I was downloading and installing a widget, astroids, through apples website and after installation I noticed a dialogue box appeared. It said "Adobe Flash Player Security" as the title and then it showed where the downloaded file was located. I looked in the folder where it said it should be located but nothing was in that folder. I couldn't close the message box, it just stayed their with my mouse pointer doing a circular pattern. I eventually restarted my computer because I didn't know how to get rid of it. My question is should this be something I should be be worried about? Is everything ok with my macbook? Sorry if this sounds silly, I am new to owning an apple computer and trying to get familiar with it. Thank You.

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Adobe flash player security blocking

    IanGCou wrote:
    How much of a risk is it unblocking?
    If you select a single site to allow, not much, as long as it's a trusted site and you're careful about what you open there (in this case it being mail, you need to use your own discretion). If you set Flash Player to allow ALL sites, then you may be opening yourself up to anything from spyware to outright viruses.

  • Why can't I download adobe flash player on my mac?

    Hi,
    I tried it many times, to download adobe flash player onto my Mac, and the first two of the process work, however, the third steps fails. I need adobe flash player in order to listen music, and watch videos, and it would be nice if someone could give me advice.
    Thank You in advance

    I'm actually having the same problem downloading abode flash.  I have the abode installer, clicked on it, and when it decided to run, the error message reads "Installation failed. Not enough permissions to write on disk." I have about 90GB on my disk.
