DO NOT UPDATE FLASH PLAYER

Unless you want a million viruses and crappy programs to install themselves on your computer, don't update your flash player. It told me I needed to update flash player so I could finish what I was doing for work and next thing you know I'm spending an hour trying to uninstall all of the programs that popped up. When I opened my browser the default page had a sketchy "search engine." I restarted my computer and when it started up all these programs started running without me doing anything. Adobe sucks and their flash player is the worst. It almost cost me my computer AND wasted hours of my time when I needed to get work done.

Hello,
When I click on the Citrix link you provide, it takes me to this page:
When I click INSTALL, a new page opens:
Nothing is downloaded.
Since you mentioned the Citrix website, we are aware that the Citrix XenDesktop page, Products - XenDesktop - Download Flash Plugin - Citrix, contains the wrong Flash Player shim/stub installer, although, it doesn't download a file that contains malware/etc.  We are attempting to resolve this with Citrix.

  • Mac will not update flash player, please advise

    My Adobe Flash Player needs to be updated to 15.0.0.189 but the site will not allow me to download. Says 'Your antivirus software must allow you to install software.' I have a Mac OS X 10.7.5. No antivirus software installed. Checked the forums but can not find any info specific to this issue. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    I don't believe that what you're experiencing is legitimate.  This sounds like an attempt to get you to install malware.  I'm thinking that you may have been tricked into downloading a fake Flash Player.  Let's throw that installer away and start again.
    Download Flash Player from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
    If that gives you trouble please try the alternate installer:

  • 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

    Thank you for responding!  I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
    core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5.   I have not intentionally installed any ad
    blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times.  My online
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "Next" step in updating Flash Player is a purchase offer, not a download

    Cannot update Flash Player.  Step 3 is an offer to buy something for $9.99/month!  Will be grateful for help. 

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • 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

  • Update Flash Player via Adobe or whatever Apple updates?

    I have always just let whatever Apple installer that updates Flash Player do my flash updating. Should I, instead, just always update directly from Adobe whatever the "latest" version of FP is? In the past, Apple seems to include a FP update with either a Safari or Security update. I have no idea if they do not update FP on a more frequent schedule because Apple has not "tested" the latest version.
    Also, I have read that it is better to uninstall your current FP before running the current installer, however, the instructions on Adobe's website does not mention that at all.
    Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: powerbook1701

    Apple does not provide Flash Player updates, and the version included with the OS X install disks may be out of date.
    Update via Adobe when you hear of an update, or just check regularly.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    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.

  • Update flash player in domain

    Dear friends,
    how can I release the update flash player on the computers in a network domain without the users are administrators of the machines.
    Thank you.

    That's not much help in my case, because it requires you to have a distribution agreement with Adobe.  I don't want to distribute Flash Player, I just want to install it on the machines I administer.
    I can't even run the new version of the installer successfully, because it attempts to download Flash Player and the machine I'm working on doesn't have a direct internet connection.  Earlier versions allowed you to download the full installer, so you didn't need internet connectivity on the machine you were installing to; why has this been changed?  Where is the full installer?

  • Update flash player- password issue

    Adobe Flash player update is asking for my password which is valid and lets me into my account online, but will not allow me to update Flash Player.....
    advice?

    There is no sign-in password needed for Adobe Flash. However, your computer account's admin password is required to install software.
    Did you not create a password for your computer's login account? If not, then you will need to do the following:
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier with installer DVD
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password,
         OS X- Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier).

  • Fake request to update flash player

    Hi,
    when I go to a website by safari or any other web browser such as chrome, there is a warning pop-up about requested to update flash player such as "http://facebook.com WARNING ! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue". I tried to deleted all web browser data, history also and restarted the Ipad. But the problem is still happen. Please advise me how to solve it or do you think it it a virus?
    Tks

    Hi all, I got the same problem as you all. I couldn't go into Google, Facebook & Youtube, which the virus immediately prompt me to update with Flash player pro. But today I sucessfully fixed it. You all may refer to below as referennce steps:  1) Hard reset your modem back to factory setting and after reseting done re-setup your DSL modem based on your ISP provided log on information.  2)I did have apple airport express, which I also doing the same hard reset and changing all my password & SSID naming.  That's all is what I did to fixed the problem.   I believe the infection was came from ISP which after I updated my IP TV from my country set top box (Android OS base) 2 days ago, guess this kind of virus will attack & infected the modem/Router. I do not believe Mac OS X 10.9.2 can easily get infected by virus. (Past 5 years using Mac & iOS mobile device never ever get any single virus attack)  Hope this will help..  B/Regards...Alex Ooi

    i had the same problem too after i updated to version 12. my laptop is windows 7 64bit but it not only affected my chrome browser but all my browsers. i was unable to watch any videos online with flash content. even youtube was out i had to do a system restore and i have no plans to update to version 12 until version 13 is released lol
    FWIW, YouTube has finished converting ALL of their videos to HTML5, which requires NO plug-in... at all.
    If you have NO Flash Player installed on your system, your browser (as long as it's newer than IE8 or Firefox 17) can play YouTube videos.
    If you're unable to view HTML5 video, your problems are way beyond Flash Player, or Chrome... which has a "proprietary" build, modified and embedded by Google, but isn't required to view YouTube.
