Automatic Updating Flash Player

I am set to receive Flash Player updates automatically. I am now getting an error message telling me that "Adobe Flash Player 11.3.r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. I receive this message numerous times throughout the day.
I also get the following message, "The instruction at 0x007a0283 referenced at 0x887a7be2. The memory could not be written".
I am running Windows XP SP3 with all updates with Internet Explore 8 as the browser. I also have Google Chrome on the PC.
When the automatic update fails and I get the above message, I tried to manually install the updates from the Adobe site. I get the message to close all browsers, which I did and that Adobe flash Player is installed on Google Chrome.
Any suggestions as how I may fix this problem?

I've been seeing the same or a simiar error on XPSP3 systems ever since they auto updated to 11.3.300.265 (from 11.3.300.257). Adobe?
The error log shows "Faulting application FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe, version 11.3.300.265, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5755, fault address 0x000113c0."

Antivirus exclusions for updating Flash Player

We are trying to get it so that all of our PC's can automatically update Flash Player (due to all of the recent updates) rather than have me download the redistributable and push it out over Zenworks.
When we do this, McAfee ePO 8.8i is apparently blocking the Flash Player install.
What do we need to list as an exception/exclusion from McAfee so that we can accomplish the updates? My List would be:
InstallFlashPlayer.exe
FlashUtil*_ActiveX.exe
install_flashplayer*.exe (maybe install_flashplayer*aih.exe?)
FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe
My concern with using the wildcards is the enormous amount of spyware that might be introduced because of this. Is there anything else I can do?

Hi Ulendal,
Unfortunately, we cannot make a guarantee on specific file names for our installers, or that they will keep the same file names in the future.
However, great effort is going into improving the current update experience in a future release.
Thanks,

Does Firefox support to automatically update flash plug-in?

I am using Firefox 31.0 and want to know if it supports to automatically update flash plug-in. If it does not, is there any plan to improve this?
Thanks.

You can specify flash to update automatically by clicking start on your
computer then type in flash in start search.
It should bring up Flash Player,click it then go to Advanced.
Check the option for : Allow Adobe to install updates.
It can also be done by right clicking on a flash video,then click global
settings.

Script Error when updating Flash Player

I have exhausted the online documentation. This started several months ago. The way that Flash Player updated on my machine changed. I am running XP using IE8. Everytime I try to update Flash Player I get a script error right about the time that the download completes and it is starting to install. The actual script error varies from one attempt to another. The latest error is 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined. Scripting is enabled per the help documents. I have never had to uninstall a previous version before and I'm hesitant to do it now because my current version is 11.4.402.287 and it works. My concern is that if I can't update to new versions eventually there may be problems. I have not made configuration changes to this computer or installed new software for quite a while. The Flash Player update mechanism used to never open a browser window but since I have had this problem that's the first thing it does and takes me to the Flash Player update site. Then the never ending fun begins always ending with a script error and failed install. PLEASE HELP!

If you have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in your Flash Player control panel (in the Advanced tab), you should be getting our silent auto updates. The problem appears to be occurring for you when a major update occurs. You have a couple of options here. First, you can visit the link below whenever this occurs and download the offline installer files that should work properly. The second option is to ignore these update notifications and after 30 days we'll install it automatically (and silently.)

Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

Be careful updating Flash Player !

Hi
Just a warning - watch carefully what you do when updating Flash Player.
My 9 month old hit the space button on what I can only assume was a dialogue box asking whether I wanted to install some unwanted McAfee Security scan plus garbage,
It of course is selected as the default - thats what everyonewould want isnt it ? - random garbage software on their computer.
I have since successfully uninstalled it I hope.
So my love for adobe grows as you can tell from this rant.
First they insist that I register Lightroom only to then get hacked, expose my personal infromation to god knows who and have my email address consequently inundated with all sorts of unsavoury SPAM.
Now they sneak garbage like this in when Im not looking for what should be a simple update.
Adobe are approaching the hights of EA these days. I will never buy adobe again !
Thanks for listening.

Nobody is happy with the 3rd-party software Adobe bundles with its software updates.
However, it is very easy to get around that. I have installed, updated, and used Flash Player since version 6, and I have never gotten any unwanted software onto my computer. How to:
install the updates manually when they become available
use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd-party software
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
do not let childred or pets install updates; disable automatic updates if necessary

Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

Hello Everyone,
I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have. We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update. I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!

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

Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169. YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
Any ideas?

JavaScript and Cookies are enabled. my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu. Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

Update flash player on mac os x 10.5.8

i have a mac os x 10.5.8 and i am trying to update flash player but every time i try i get a message saying it requires 10.6 or higher. how can i update my flash player??

Running Leopard you can't. What you have is as far as it will go.
Leopard was the last build Mac released that was a "Universal Binary". In other words, it would run on PowerPC or Intel Processors. Once Snow Leopard was released, Adobe stopped deveopment on Universal binary builds of Flash Player.
I know it seems like just another "money grab" by Apple and Adobe trying to force everyone to buy a new Operating System, but the entire industry has moved away from the old Apple architecture and software for it.

My Mac has stopped playing you tube asking me to update flash player trouble is it is asking me for a password and I don't ever recall setting a password for this mac -!!!!!

My Mac has stopped playing you tube asking me to update flash player trouble is it is asking me for a password and I don't ever recall setting a password for this mac …!!!!

When the Mac was setup you had to create an administrative password.and account. Yo have to sign into that account to install apps/plug-ins like Flash. To reset that password.

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

Update Flash Player (General Plug-in) in Adobe applications

Hello,
Secunia PSI detects Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General Plug-ins)
as unsafe. The Plug-ins are used by the Adobe applications: Bridge,
Dreamweaver and Air and are installed in directories of these
programms.
I've updated Flash Player to version 10.x but these programms
use their own Plug-in (installed with the programms) and haven't
been updatet by the update routine of Flash 10.x.
How can I update the Plug-ins for these programms?

After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed. Install successful but application will not work.

Hello,
After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games. I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications. However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again. I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure. I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work. I check my security settings and it does allow plugins. I erased my temporary internet files. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated! This is incredibly frustrating. Thank you

school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system. To the
best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
where the trouble is. I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
besides what I find in the system preference/security tab. Thank you again
for responding and any help is most appreciated.
