Flash player and Mac os X incompatibilities

Is there anyone having problems wiht this new Mac Os X/Flash Player updates??
I have the latest version of Mac Os X  (10.7.4) and the latest flash player version but it keeps saying to update to newest version. That happens when i'm trying to use google maps in streetview mode (for example), and when i log on to facebook account my main page is just blank. Can anyone please help???? Thanks for the support.

I'm using 10.7.4 with the latest Flash installed and have no problems using Google Maps in street view. Perhaps you need to try repairing the hard drive then reinstalling the update using the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) updater.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
If that isn't helpful, then reinstall Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
After reinstalling Lion you can then reinstall the 10.7.4 combo update.

    By default the location should be in your user/Downloads folder.

    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.

    For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here.  Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
    On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model  it was reading).
    Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard  install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run. 
    Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
    The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
    It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
    Good luck on working this one out.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    Hi, I'm new to using mac laptop, i just got one 1 month a go, i was downloading adobe flash player and it asked me for a password for the computer and i never created one, how do i over pass this situation?

    It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes.  You "should" have an administrator account password.

  • All of the greeting card websites that I belong to use flash player and Apple doesn't allow it.  Is there another way to get a greeting card site to work on a Mac?

    I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro.  I have had a PC for years.  I've discovered that Apple doesn't allow flash player and I have membership in two greeting card websites.  Now that I've already paid a yearly membership in both, I'm out of the money and I can't send cards.  Does anyone know of a program that will work with Apple?

    Flash Player works just fine on a Mac. You're confusing the issue with that of iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad, for which Adobe never came up with a viable version of Flash. Just download and install Flash Player from Adobe:

  • Macbook pro. app tries to use flash player and get " Blocked plugin" how to uninstall and reinstall flash player. update does nothing ?

    Wife has an older MacBook Pro. when an app uses flash player "Blocked plugin" comes up. I don't know much about mac, tried to update flash player and get newer version already installed, and update and still get same message. How do I uninstall flash player and reinstall?

    Sounds like it is blocked for the website you are at. Check with this:
    You can quickly test whether a recently added plug-in is causing problems by blocking it.
    Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, then click Website Settings next to Allow Plug-ins.
    Select the plug-in you want to disable on the far left, then click each pop-up menu on the right and choose Block.For some plug-ins, you see pop-up menus for different websites, and you can choose to block each one individually. Use the “When visiting other websites” pop-up menu to block all other websites that don’t have individual settings.

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]

  • Cannot Install Flash Player to Mac OS X 10.9.4

    Hi. I have a mac OS X 10.9.4 and using safari 7.0.5. i have downloaded adobe flash player and before the download ever finishes i am told to close my safari. I have checked a million and one times to see if my safari is open and it is not open. I shut my laptop down and retried and nothing seems to work. I trouble shooter and tried to figure out if i was using the correct version for my computer and everything seems to be in order. i need some help. i am new to mac and i can't watch any of the videos i want to see and i wanna know how this can be resolved.

    Hello Maria,
    I went through the "terminate Safari" processes as well.  I did all of that, including uninstalling the previous version.  Nothing worked with the download from the main site.  I would get the disc image and click on it.  I would then get the red "Install Adobe Flash Player" and click on that.  I would get the black box that said "initializing."  Nothing would happen with this until it said that the download was bad and that I needed to reinstall.  I went through that process several time, including deleting the downloaded disc image that didn't work and redownloading a new disc image.  No matter what I did, the results were the same...the downloaded disc image was not working. 
    I then started sniffing around the Adobe website and came across some trouble shooting instructions.  I followed those, including right clicking on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" button to get to the "contents" folder.  The instructions then told me to click on a folder, which was not there in what I had downloaded.  I deleted what I downloaded and tried this process again, with the same results. 
    I only had success with the link on the bottom of the other Mac trouble-shooting page referenced in my post.  Once I downloaded that package, I noticed the size difference between the two disc images.  The last package worked like it was supposed to, and I finally got the updated Adobe Flash Player downloaded and operational.  I could not get anything from the download from the Adobe Flash Player update website.
    I have a mid-2011 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i5.  I've never had this much trouble updating Flash Player before.  Since the link on the referenced troubleshooting page work like it should, and since all other previous updates worked like they should, I can only conclude that something must be wrong with the main Flash Player website link or package for this update to Flash Player 14.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Take care,
    Rick

  • Installed latest 11.2 Flash Player and drmtest says I need to update

    I installed the latest version of Flash but I still cannot watch video on Amazon Instant.  Contacted Amazon and uninstalled latest version and re-installed old version.  Still didn't work.  I updated Java.  Still didn't work.  I restarted the computer and it still doesn't work.  I re-installed the latest version of Flash and it still doesn't work.  I searched for "native cache" and finder doesnt' find any file by that name.   I went to the Adobe Flash Acess Sample Video Player and it says I need the latest version of Flash. But I HAVE the latest verson of Flash - so it's not Amazon or Mac its Adobe and this website is not very helpful so far.   Does anyone know why this product doesn't work? I've been troubleshooting and looking for help for 3 hours. 
    I am running on Mac OS X 10.6

    Hello.  I have almost the same problem it seems.
    I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (latest), used the Uninstaller from the website. It installs correctly.
    Even tho it doesnt seem right when i check my programs installed.
    Because before i had 2 Adobe Flash Player (i use CCleaner for this), I got the Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64-bit
    and another at name Adobe Flash Player 11 something. And before i did the same thing as i did now.
    But it should probably be only the Plugin one.
    Anyways. When i try to watch Youtube videos, it won't use Flash Player at all. And Firefox says
    i have Flash Player, and its up to date and everything.  But Youtube wont use it. Some do odd enough.
    Vimeo use it tho.
    And now i came across this thread, and i tried that Profile thing you told. And it does work with a new profile.
    With the same Youtube video (copy link from old Profile). So i guess it's the profile that's broken.
    Example of videos:
    Doesnt work:       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3PMCD7aMRI&hd=1
    Works just fine:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ46Ot4_lLo&feature=related&hd=1
    But how could i fix this then?  Cause i realy don't want to do a new profile and lose all the settings etc i have at the moment.
    Would be realy awesome if you could provide a fix for me
    I might have been unclear on some things, not that good at english at some points.
    So just ask if you need more info and ill try to provide it for you.

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.
