Flash Player update request from Software Not. Valid or bogus?
I keep getting update requests from Software Not to update Flash Player 11 to higher #. Is this a valid request to update Flash driver? The request does nothing when selected and no programs are in the "HP STORE" to assist with install. I have Win. 8, IE 10 with updates turned on for both. If this is a bogus application I want to block it. The pop in notice appears multiple times daily.
Flash Player for IE 10 in WIn 8 is "embedded" by Microsoft, and you don't update it outside of Windows Update, so, the odds are the notices you see are fake. If the notices appear in your browser, you need to look into another browser like Firefox, that uses add-ons like AdBlock Plus (not comaptible with IE - it doesn't work with ActiveX controls).
If you're seeing the update outside of the browser, you've likely got "adware" that's causing it.

Are all Flash Player updates legit ?
I have seen many popup updates for FP this year however when I examine the link it is clearly not linked to Adobe, and I also read the bottom of this latest update saying they are not affiliated with Adobe and is a 3rd party software needed to run video's from other sites. if this is or is not legit it needs to be know as what exploits have plagued FP in the past some are leery to install these popups as I am. below is a snapshot of the popup and when I went to "contact" to see what came up it shows it is a CRITICAL UPDATE that must be installed. Very Suspicious ! , note the link easyjavaupdate.be , after clicking on "Contact" the "Warning" pop up appeared.
Hi,
You were right to question this. The only legitimate Flash Player updates come from either adobe.com or macromedia.com. Any other site, or an update notification stating they are not affiliated with Adobe, is absolutely not a legitimate site, or update notification, for obtaining Flash Player. If you keep on getting notifications such as this, I'm guessing your system is infected with some sort of malware/adware. I recommend scanning your system for these using something such as MalwareBytes or similar.
Thank you for posting this screenshot. I'll forward it to the appropriate folks who handle malicious sites purporting to be distributing Flash Player.

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
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.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!This did not work

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. -
Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac
I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this? -
My mac is the OS X 10.8.3. I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.' I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all. Help!
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. -
Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?
NKafafi88-
There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well. The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>. Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.

I get a pop up of "adobe flash player settings" requesting local storage. It will not respond to either deny or accept. Please help.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
Select either one of the radio buttons marked
Allow sites to save information on this computer
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
according to your preference. The usual display of Flash content doesn't require that you allow it to save information. Note also that this setting only affects Flash; it has no effect on web cookies or AutoFill. -

this is the description of the problem here if you have the same problem, what do we do cuz we are a bunch just walking around like chicken's not knowing what do toHi, I've been working on this problem on my computer, windows vista, for a while now
and since nothing can correct this problem
I just now discovered that there are two flashplayerupdateservice.exe on my hard drive!
one in my windows\system32 directory and
the other one in windows\system32\MacroMed\Flash
exactly the same version, same everything, 11.6.602.180 both of them
I suspect having two copies of the same program is what makes it crash.
Can Adobe please fix this problem? It's just annoying, does not hurt and you can leave it alone
and go on with your business, but it would be nice to get rid of that error message.

Flash Player update causes radio on-line not to function
I have Windows 8 and use Firefox as browser. The recent Flash Player update has caused radio on-line not to function. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash but the programme won't install. It downloads and then sticks, I've tried about 10 times! I overcame this by re-installing an older version and then my radio on-line works but when Flash automatically updated the programme the same thing occurred and radio no longer worked. I contacted Know How but they couldn't find out what the problem is either. Please can you advise me how to fix this.
Ken,
Same problem here. I use
http://www.webaudioplus.com/
as well and started experiencing the same problem after the latest
upgrade. Like you I didn't hear any clicks and pops at various
pitches until after the upgrade and have been making .swf files Web
Audio Plus for about a year.
Interestingly enough, when I play the file directly by
dbl/clicking on it, and just play via the Web Audio Plus media
buttons, the file plays just fine.
And the problem does not seem to be germane only to my PC as
though it was a sound card related issue because the same thing
happens when I play web files I have done in the past on my
assistants PC that were fine but since the latest Flash upgrade now
they have the same issues as my PC when playing the files embedded
on a web page.
I had not tried restoring (I'm on XPpro) but obviously that
only solves the problem for me. I'm starting to get complaints in
our Support Desk about this.
I appreciate your post. It's the only one I could find on the
subject.
I certainly hate to think this is something Macromedia is
going to blame on Web Audio Plus.
If I find anything in my research I'll be sure to post it
here.

Notification from Adobe regarding Flash Player Updates
Hello,
I work with a county wide non profit library system and we seem to have issues every so often with bringing up websites that use Adobe Flash to run their video player and game functionalities within the websites. I've contacted Adobe to try and find out if there's any way at all that we could get on an email Distribution list to notify us everytime the Flash Player application plug-in for the web gets updated. This would give us a "heads-up" pro active approach to this issue and allow us to serve our patrons more efficiently and effectively rather than waiting till we get complaints that our PCs aren't running Flash on them when we know that we are and the build just isn't the same.
Any Help would be appreciated.

Why does Adobe sneak Google software into Flash Player updates?
Why does Adobe sneak Google Toolbar and Google Chrome into Flash Player updates? I am tired of waiting for this alien software to download and, in some cases, having to uninstall it.
We don't like this yet tolerate it becaue ADOBE is unconcerned with OUR opinions and there is no suitable replacement for Flash or Reader as of yet. However, I am certain that the "Land of Opportunity" will soon provide an alternative to accepting this deceiptful practice and we will abandon Adobe Flash en mass. Only when this policy affects the price of stocks will Management take this seriously. Once it hits their pocketbooks, they will take notice but the question then will be "is it too late?" I am also looking for alternatives to Google and would appreciate any suggestions.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
