Flash player  and safari updates

I have Safari 5.0.4 installed my version of flash player is 10,1,102.64 the Adobe website say this is what they detect they also say I need version 10.2.152.33 do i have to uninstall the old version or just download the newer one

well, I know everyone has their own opinion on flash player. If you need it, you need it. My understanding is that flash player "should" be uninstalled first before updating. Depending on what version you have installed, sometimes you will find and Adobe Flash Player uninstaller in your utilities folder (deposited by your last install of flash player if you downloaded the dmg file from Adobe). On rare occasions, Apple has included a flash player update (built into something else), but only on occasion.
The benefit from using "the latest" version of flash player is that you get the security updates built into that version. Depending on your risk factor, you will have to decide to update or not. At some point, if you do not update for a long time, you will get prompted by a site that needs that latest version to run it's content properly. Note, if you are running a PPC machine, you only have archived versions available..

  • How to Disable the Adobe Flash Player and Reader Updates

    Ok, For the last two months or so, I have been plagued by the Adobe Flash Player and Reader updater that will not go away. That's not the worst thing though: Somehow, someway, the Adobe updater subverts my entire windows 7 machine and makes itself the most important program on my system, stopping all other necessary functions. After I just turn it on, the updater will suspend all Windows operations in favor of the updater getting its message out the Adobe "needs" updating. I have tried updating the stupid thing, only to find that after the update goes in, my whole computer locks up and I have to load a system restore point. This thing acts like a virus, and until someone comes up with a way to make it work properly, that's what I'm calling: Adobe creates and sells a computer killing virus. I want a sure fire way to disable the updater that will work, and that will never bug me again about updating the virus. After going through three different computer repair companies, many online forums and chat rooms and my own knowledge of how to disable programs, I have instructed my firewall to block all attempts by Adobe to update. This has to stop.

  • Mac - Unable to install Adobe Flash Player after Safari update

    After the latest Safari update (version 8.0.2) for Mac, I received a message that Flash Player was out of date.  I downloaded the latest Flash DMG file and when updating it stalls at 32%. Running the latest update for Yosemite.
    I've uninstalled all of Flash player and all files and folders related to Adobe Flash from the computer.  I've turned off my anti-virus and firewall.  It continues to stall at 32%.  I've re-downloaded the flash update and continue to have the problem.
    Any suggestions?

  • Adobe Flash Player and Safari

    Hello everybody,
    I bought new MacBook Pro 13'' last July 2012.
    For the past week I can not suddenly view presentations and videos. I have installed adobe flash player (program recommended by Apple).
    My second problem is that when I try to open safari get an error "safari quit unexpectedly '
    Please ask for help. Do not know what to do.
    Thank you very much indeed

    Not to polemic or anything...
    Here is a quote from another link in this forum that also lays the blame on Apple.
    Apple has publicly stated that they don't want flash "lite"
    1) Funny that the maker of Safari "lite", has an issue with Adobe making Flash "lite"
    2) Since Apple has never pointed the finger at Adobe, it's no surprise that Adobe will not develop software that would have no access to the App Store (Controlled by Apple)

  • Adobe flash player and android

    Why is my Android suddenly none compatible with Adobe flash player?

    Adobe Reader for Android is no longer available. For more details, you can read here:

  • Has any one heard if apple will start to support Flash player for Safari

    There are a few web sites I like to visit but they require flash player and Safari does not support it on my iTouch.  does anybody know a work around or have you heard if Apple will start supporting it?

    Considering Apple owns about 75% of the "pad" space I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to disappear.
    To further illustrate your ignorance, it is Adobe who has given up on Flash, not Apple.  If you did any sort of research you would quickly find out why there is no Flash in iDevices.
    If there's any pride swallowing called for, I believe it would be yours.

  • 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.

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    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.

  • Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

    Hello!
    I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
    and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
    I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

    For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files.  That's what happened here.  Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

  • I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

    I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut the computer down.
    How do you delete programs?
    thanks

    If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
    Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

  • I can't update my flash player and i might have a virus help me out with any advice on getting my mac on track ?

    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.
