Genuine Adobe flash update for mac?

Hi, I've just heard about some kind of virus or malware that poses as an adobe flash update and I noticed excessive prompts to update over the last few weeks so I'm wondering if someone can please confirm whether the update prompt in the attached screenshot is genuine. Thanks!
Well that's just annoying... when I try to attach the 115kb TIFF file i get the error message "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
A little help?

Hi Mataczar,
It seems that your image attachment is not allowed. Try pasting a different file format.
Also, try asking this question in Flash forum. Somebody there will be able to answer you better.

  • Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for Mac?

    Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for MAC?

    It's always okay. Hackers try to find ways to attack it, Adobe fixes it. Just like Apple releases patches for flaws that have been found. Just like Microsoft constantly releases security fixes for its OS and other software.
    No software is perfectly and forever safe, and unlikely ever will be. The only thing you must do in respect to the Flash Player is to only ever get it directly from Adobe. Never, EVER pay attention to any third party site that pops up a message about having to update flash. Especially if it tells you to download said update from their site.

  • Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite

    Is there a reliable and secure alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite?  I keep getting websites telling me that I can see a video because my Flash Player needs to be updated.  But I haven't wanted to install it as I've heard negative things about it and Macs.  Is there an alternative to Flash Player?  And if so, what is it and where do I find it?

    Being that Flash is very insecure, I've completely removed it from my MacBook Pro. The best alternative is to uninstall Flash from your system and download Google Chrome as it has Flash build into it and you're not vulnerable unless you're browsing in Chrome. If Safari is your main browser, as mine is, then you need to open Safari Preferences, go to Advanced and click the checkbox for 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. Once you've done this, the Develop menu bar menu shows up and you can click it and choose 'Open Page With' and choose Chrome. It is a bit cumbersome, but it removes the vulnerability when browsing in Safari as many sites are now using HTML5. Hope this help.

  • Download Adobe Flash update on Mac with Yosemite

    I am attempting to install the Adobe Flash update on my Mac Book Pro with Yosemite.  On every attempt the download bar stops at 30%.  I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstall it and I get the same result.  I would appreciate help in resolving this issue.

    I just downloaded the installer... took all of 3 seconds to download.  It's only a 1.2MB file.
    Check to see if it has downloaded it anyways.  Should see something like AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_17au_Itrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg if it's there, quit Safari from the menu bar, run the installer.
    If it's not there, try a different browser.  If that works, it's something in your Safari that's stopping it... could be an extension you have installed or adware.
    You can also try a direct download from the Adobe site: (Under still having problems)

  • Adobe Flash Player for Mac 10.5.8

    I have been using Adobe Flash Player for ages (for Hulu, etc.) and I tried to update it today.
    After that I was unable to open it.  It keep showing the message:
    The application Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly
    I tried to find out what I should do and followed some directions shown to solve this, such as:
    - Uninstall Flash Player
    - trashing Flash Player plug-in (wasn't there, or couldn't find it)
    - trashing Flash Player Install Manager (wasn't there, or couldn't find it)
    According to Adobe's instructions, prior to installing Flash Player, I should open Safari Preferences, Security and then enable Allow Java and Allow All Other Plug-Ins in the Internet Plug-ins section, but no Internet Plug-Ins section appears in the Security section of Preferences.
    I have tried to download Flash Player from a few sites, but I keep on receiving the same 'quit unexpectedly' message.
    If anyone could help me, I would be really grateful.  I need to resolve this problem as soon as possible.  Up to today, there has been no problem.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Susan, Japan

    Hi Susan,
    Be careful where you download from, many free sites now attach malware or adware to it, only get from Adobe's site.
    There are no recent updates for 10.5.8, is your iMac PPC or Intel?
    See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player for Mac Air (Yosemite)

    I got a message saying my Adobe Flash Player was out of date. This seemed strange because I'd been accessing videos within the last hour with no problems. I went ahead and opened the Mac version installer downloaded of the Adobe site. The install started and after inputting an Admin password, the download reached 25% almost immediately. Unfortunately, it's been stuck at 25% since then. I've tried starting over, deleting the download and re-downloading the update with no success. I've also temporarily disabled my AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. I tried to uninstall AFP so I could start over but the box that's supposed to tell me what uninstaller version to download has an error message saying I need to update AFP.
    How can I fix this?
    Edit: I thought maybe I was downloading an AFP for an earlier OS (I'm running 10.10.2). I made sure to download the latest version of AFP for Mac possible. The install is now stuck at 30%. (Just to be clear, I downloaded the install package with no problem - the issue is with the install program itself pausing at 30%.)
    Edit 2: I figured out which uninstall package I needed (using this page: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS) but upon reinstalling AFP, it's stuck again at 25% of download.
    Edit 3: The message "Connection failed. Trying to reconnect" has appeared, followed quickly by "connection failed". Guess I'll try again.

    I've double-checked to make sure that I've selected "Allow Internet Plug-ins" under Safari>Preferences>Security. I've read in other threads that this is one possible solution but it isn't useful to me since I've uninstalled AFP and but I've been unable to reinstall it.
    Edit: I'm not sure if Youtube is supported by a different software package but I can watch any videos on that site with no problem.

  • Latest Adobe Flash update for IE - ActiveX 12.0.0.38 - Installation job encountered some failures. Error = 0x80240022.

    Hi, just wondering if anyone is seeing these errors with the latest version of Adobe Flash for IE? I've never had this issue before, but have seen it mentioned in previous discussions - don't seem relevant here though.
    I'm using SCUP catalogs. Only affects some machines (all machines are W7 SP1 x32). The problem machines have the same GPs applied to them as every other one. They can also download and install all other updates fine - i.e. the latest MS patch Tuesday windows
    and word update, and adobe reader 11.0.06 update.
    The update actually installs, its just that SCCM doesn't seem to think it is, and it continues trying to install it - and this error message keeps appearing in the logs.

    Apparently Adobe have fixed this:
    "An updated SCUP catalog has been posted to the distribution page,
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html."
    Not working yet for me, but at least have acknowledged the issue.

    Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - always download it from here. If you get popups or any sort of notice that you need to update it, don't follow it (mostly it's OK but there have been some malware doing this) - always go to the Adobe site
