1. Yes. Ensure that you download it from Adobe's site.
2. Probably not on a computer.

    Download THIS installer by right clicking and choosing "Download Linked File As": Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)

  • Flash Player update for Mac OS X 10.5.8

    Does anyone have any ideas how to update my flash player on my Mac?  It has the following: OS X 10.5.8 which has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.  I tried updating directly from the Adobe forum related to this, but it only lists the option from 10.6 to 10.10 now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

    If you're on an Intel Mac, you can probably complete the installation.  I don't *think* we'll block you at install time.  That said, we're using the MacOS 10.6 SDK, so there may be problems.  You should be eligible for a free upgrade to Yosemite, and you might want to consider it. 
    Running a Flash Player from the archives means that you're missing all of the security fixes that have been shipped since that build was initially released.  If you're surfing the web, this is generally a pretty bad ideal, even on Mac.  You're going to be much safer running current versions of the OS and Flash Player.

    Thank you!

    AS John says 10.1.102.64 is the latest PPC version, but...
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

  • Flash Player Instillation for Mac 10.7.5 failed repeatedly

    I am trying to install the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac computer. It is a OS X 10.7.5 operating system. I have made several attempts to do this. I can download the installer but every time I try to install it stalls at 33%. I have tried uninstalling the program and all files and starting from scratch and I end up with the same results. I have checked that my plugs ins are enabled and they are. I am beyond frustrated! Please Help!

    Probably not! Be patient!

  • Flash Player installation for Mac OS X

    I have down loaded Flash Player several times (I use Safari), and my computer does not read that the program is there. Installation was successful but when I try to do something, like upload pictures, the websites say that the plug-in is missing. If I open my System Preferences, Flash Player is listed at the bottom under the heading Other. How do I get my computer to read this as a usable program?

    If you're on an Intel Mac, you can probably complete the installation.  I don't *think* we'll block you at install time.  That said, we're using the MacOS 10.6 SDK, so there may be problems.  You should be eligible for a free upgrade to Yosemite, and you might want to consider it.

  • Flash player version for mac osx 10.5.8

    have downloaded flashplayer removal update and restarted computer. what version of flash player do I now download for mac osx 10.5.8. i have dedicated today to sort this out please help me!

    I think you need a 10.x version (probably 10.3.183.10).
    Here's Adobe's Archive of old flash players.  Scroll down.  There's a 10.3.183.20 in the list.  It downloads a zip with both windows and mac versions.  After expanding you can fish out the mac version.

  • Strange icon that won't allow update of Adobe Flash Player 17 for mac

    When I download the newest Adobe Flash update for mac I get a strange icon.
    When I double click to launch the update file, I get an even stranger window full of gibberish.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'm open. I have gone through every help file I can find for Adobe and nothing has helped so far.

    Hi Threigia,
    Please remove the .mdlp from the file name, so that it ends in just .dmg.
    We are seeing this behaviour with users that have MathLab installed and we are investigating why this is happening.  FWIW, this happens to other software DMG files as well, not just the Flash Player installer.  For some reason, when users have MathLab installed, when the DMG file is downloaded, it appends the .mdlp extension to it.  When users attempt to launch it, instead of being opened with DiskImageMounter, which is what OS X uses to open DMG files, it opens using MathLab and the result is what you posted.  If this happens in the future, just delete '.mdlp' from the file name and DiskImageMounter will open the DMG, instead of MathLab.

  • Is Flash Player safe for macbooks?

    I want to watch youtube, but it says "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.  [a link:] Get the latest Flash Player."  I don't want to download anything unsafe on my new MacBook.  Is it safe to download Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.225?

    Flash itself is safe as long as you download & install it directly from Adobe.com.   Do not download it from any other site and DO NOT respond or click any pop up or email that suggests you should install Flash.
    Beyond that, use of Flash can be safe as long as you are careful about what you are using Flash for. If you know & trust the site(s) that provide Flash content, that is one thing (YouTube, corporate sites, university admissions sites, etc).  However, if you are wandering around the web and watching whatever Flash videos you find (even on Facebook), or you are engaging in risky behavior (eg, going to p**n sites) then Flash is definitely NOT safe at all.

  • Flash Player Installer for Mac OS X Yosemite is broken

    I've tried this on 3 different OS X Machines, all running with Yosemite and Safari. I've downloaded the new Flash Player Installer, and attempt to install, but the installer gets stuck at the "downloading" phase, at either 25 or 30% downloading, and will not complete the download or the installation. I've never had this problem before. It seems that the installer / downloader is broken.

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Adobe flash player update for Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) using safari

    I am having trouble updating adobe flash player for my Macbook pro  OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) using safari browser.
    Can someone talk me through the steps how to do this

    You should not be connecting a computer running 10.4 to the Internet.
    It has not received security updates, and is vulnerable to attack through Java and Flash exploits that have been patched ... in later versions.

  • Adobe flash player upgrade for mac 10.5.8

    I can't watch any videos or use pandora, because this version of my macbook can't handle newer versions adobe flashplayer. It's really annoying because a lot of studying I do for school is with videos over the internet. I have the adobe flashplayer 10.3 already on my computer, but all websites requiring flash still dont work.
    I ordered the snow leapord 10.6 dvd online, but I won't get it for about 3-4 days. Is there anyting I can do until then to get websites like youtube and pandora to work?

    Probably not! Be patient!

  • Why does Flash Player install for Mac OSX 10.8 ask to quit DashboardClient?

    I don't believe there is a way to just shutdown the Dashboard Client by itself. The install will not allow me to go any further.

    unable to install updated flash player to my mac os.  Ive empty cache, tried downloading it directly safe mode, and still nothing  

    Hi Blanca rey
    You Can try Uninstalling Flash Player using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
    and Use the Offline Flash Player Installer for Mac (Safari and Firefox) from here - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Hope it helps,
    While you try the above suggestion,  can you also share the Version of Mac on which you are updating Flash Player and how are you doing it?
    Thanks
