Can't update flash on Mac

I have tried at least a dozen times to update Flash on my Mac.  It says it's updated, but when I go to try to use it, I get the 'update' screen again!
What gives?

Moved to
Uninstall Flash Player and download a new copy. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
Technically, you can download and install without uninstalling.

  • Can't update flash on my Mac

    Hi.
    I can't update flash player on my mac os x 10.4. As a result, I can't watch youtube videos because youtube is using the new flash plugin.
    Any suggestions?

    Does your operating system support Virtual Machines such as VMWare Fusion?  If so, then you could purchase a copy of that and a copy of Windows 7 (You can't install a Mac OSX onto a Virtual Machine, Apple restricts the use of VMWare with OSX, unless Apple makes its own proprietary virtual machine that can boot other versions of Mac OS (older and newer versions, that is)).  With Windows 7 installed in the virtual machine you can then use the latest version of the Flash Plugin (I would assume that to be true but it's only an educated guess).

  • I can't update becuase my mac says this, This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later.

    I can't update becuase my mac says this, This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. any ways to update my iTunes?

    You need to call 1 800 My APPLE and ask for Snow Leopord disk.
    The cost is $29 I believe.
    all iOS 6 OS and hardware announced (iphone5, new nanos, etc) require at least 10.7 version of itunes.
    iTunes 10.7 requires OS 10.6.8

  • How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?

    How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?  I keep getting update messages.  I go throught the download and install process but there is no option to un-check installing Chrome.  I don't want Chrome. I'm not asking for Chrome.  I just want to update Flash.

    There are a few threads around here with this same issue, and as far as I know Adobe has not addressed it adequately.  Many of us, when we are prompted with an update for Flash, are not given the option to opt out of installing google toolbar and google chrome.
    Adobe is playing cute, pretending to be surprised at such reports.  They always demand screenshots of it, and then ignore them when the screenshots are posted. Then demand screenshots in the next thread with the same issue, feigning surprise that such an isue could occur. Sometimes they insist it isnt happening or it is somehow user error (as if it is user error to simply allow the update from their app to install after getting the update message from their app!  )
    The problem , in my case, was that the update goes to a URL that autoselects chrome and toolbar.  I found if I manually edited the URL, that it would not automatically install chrome and toolbar.
    Basically the URL has to be manually edited , so take out the " &a=Google_Toolbar_7.4&a=Google_Chrome_22.0_IE_Browser " at the end AND the "&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=true" bit in the middle.  Then it will give you the opt-out. Then do make sure to uncheck the box, obviously    And it is obvious that the users are not doing this on purpose, this is built into Adobe's updater, somewhere.   I went into a little more detail in   http://forums.adobe.com/message/5274050

  • Can't Install Flash on Mac

    Today Firefox prompted me to update my Flash Player when I logged onto my laptop. I've done this many times before so this shouldn't be a big deal right?
    Well I was able to download and start the installer but after about 11%  the installer fails and points to the Support website.
    I tried running the Flash Player uninstaller, rebooting, running new Flash Installer and it still fails everytime.
    I even tried downloading an archived version of Flash 10 to see if I could at least get some version of Flash installed, but that failed in the same manner.
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Firefox 3.6.11
    Mac OS 10.6.4

    You've never heard of the installer asking for an admin password? You must not have a Mac then. Flash is not the only program that asks for one, and it's not the only program that's not going to get one from me.
    LZMA (not lsma) is a form of compression which the downloadable flash plugin uses. As previously noted, I haven't found anything yet that can uncompress the Flash Player.plugin.lzma file, which is why I can't install it.
    So what I want is a link to the bare Flash Player.plugin file. Not to a Flash Installer program, just Flash Player.plugin, the actual plugin that goes into my internet plugins folder. This is Adobe, Adobe makes it, so they should have it available somewhere. It's only 30 MB. Adobe is a big company now, they can afford the bandwidth.

  • Can't update ipod (windows-mac issue)

    My mom got a MacBook on sale so this is now what I use for everything; it is faster and more efficient than the PC that we own. On my iTunes, I can do everything exceptupdate my iPod nano. It simply says "Only Macintosh-formatted iPods can be updated." How do I change my Windows-formatted iPod to a Macintosh-formatted iPod?

    Are you sure that there is no way to change the
    format?
    I never said there wasn't a way to change the
    format.
    To change the format, select it in iTunes on the Mac
    and select Restore.
    I am having a similar issue with my daughters ipod nano. It was formatted for windows when we bought it (we have the songs on a mac) but it only downloads some of her library not all. Having looked in some of the forums it suggests restoring however when we plug the ipod into the mac the button for restoring the ipod to factory settings is not highlighted. In this case how can the ipod be restored to a mac setting? We are using the latest itunes software and OSX operating system.

  • Can't update iPhoto, because Mac is part of Up-to-Date Program

    I had some interesting mail traffic with Apple, but now I am stuck.
    I bought a Macbook Pro early August this year. When I open my App-Store it says that I have one update for iPhoto. When I click the update-button, it says that I have to buy the product. I mailed Apple to ask why I can not update, since I bought my Mac after Lion was released and I should have the rights to download any update for the software that comes with it. After a long conversation the status quo is: I either have a refurbished Mac, which is not the case, or my Mac is part of the Up-to-Date program. This means that initially Leopard was installed on my computer and Apple just changed the OS to Lion. All good with me, but I ordered a Macbook with Lion, not one with an updated system that causes problems, ie gives apple more money since I have to buy software now.
    Can I get a new Mac with Lion as the initial OS or can Apple give me some codes that allow me to get the updates for free?
    Thanks for any reply.

    If you purchased iPhoto through the MacApp store (MAS) then you can update via the MAS. There have been some bugs in how the update is displayed in the MAS. The key is - where did you get iPhoto from - the MAS or via the MBP when you purchased and iPhoto was already installed on the MBP.
    The other path is from the http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iphoto

    This whole experience with Creative Cloud has been really frustrating as I haven't been able to use audio at all throughout the entirety of my trial period and now I can't get the update to fix it.
    Any help fixing this problem would be much appreciated!

  • Can't update software on mac, Bold 9790

    I can't update my software on desktop software for mac.
    Whenever it start to back up, it will crash down when it gets to backing up "Social Feeds." 
    Then, it said the device is disconnected while I didn't touch the plug at all.
    And, the battery is then drained and the device is hot like fire.
    Please help!

    This is my first time on blackberry forums some I am unsure of the etiquette, I dont have a solution but I have the exact same problem, I just upgraded to mountain lion from snow leopard, I had no problems with blackberry desktop software on snow leopard with my bb 9790. Now with mountain lion I cannot back up my 9790 or my playbook. With my 9790 the same thing happens, device gets really hot and battery dies and software says I am not connected despite password prompting me initially for my 9790 device password .
    I think this is a problem on Apple's side, this is just me speculating and not actually knowing.
    I wish I could be more helpful - I hope a blackberry/cynical mac os x mountain lion user can offer some sage advice.

  • Can't update office for mac 2011

    when i try to update office for mac 2011 i get a message "can't be installed on this disk.  a version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume"

    It means you are trying to install an update that requires that an earlier update first be installed. Office updaters are not cumulative. If you've never updated it then you will need to download and install all prior updates or use the Microsoft Automatic Update Manager software (which is a separate download) or open an Office application and select the Check for Updates option in one of the menus.
