How do I know if the pop-up window is from Adobe or not?

I sometimes get pop-ups in my browser that tell me I have to update my software. I just got one concerning Flash Player. The link it redirected me to is this one:
https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=FP_16_Mac_for_Safari_and_Firefox_-_ NPAPI&os=OSX&browser_type=KHTML&browser_dist=Safari&d=Adobe_Photoshop_Lightroom_for_Macint osh&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=7
Which I assume is okey. But just to check I went to adobe.com and found the link to install and update Flash player there and the link is then:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=FP_16_Mac_for_Safari_and_Firefox_-_NP API&os=OSX&browser_type=KHTML&browser_dist=Safari&d=Adobe_Photoshop_Lightroom_for_Macintos h&p=ltrosx&dualoffer=false
So no get3 like in the first link. Why the difference, and how can I tell for sure that it is not someone pretending to be Adobe?
Sorry for possibly putting this in the wrong community but I could not find the proper place for this topic, and I had to choose a community to be able to post.

You should ask there: Flash Player
You won't find any answer here.
Sorry

  • How do I know if the security update is really from Firefox?

    I just had a screen shot advising me of a 'Security Update' and I was strongly advised to install it.
    It offered a webpage for further investigation and an 'Install' button ... I was busy, doing several things at once and by mistake I clicked 'Install' and whatever it was downloaded .. then I thought to myself '''what was that?'''
    there did not appear to be any way to verify who, why, what, where etc...
    it said the 'Security Update' would take effect the next time the browser was restarted - which hasn't occurred yet, I sincerely hope it wasn't malicious!

    I just ran a scan and all was '''Clean''', when I re-started FF it said '''Installing Updates'''
    Although, it was my fault, as usual, I didn't read the screen good enough before clicking 'Install', however, I would say that the 'Security Update Alert' could do with looking a little more, er, how do I say this, Security Minded or Authenticated somehow .. having said that, when I compare FF to IE I find I like FF much better. I haven't long made the change to FF and this was the first 'Security Update' I encountered.
    thanks for the advise on the Malware Scan - appreciated

  • I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants.  Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

    I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes.  i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files.  now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files.  so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date.  the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download. 
    Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
    ***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

    How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear.  You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

  • How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

    How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
    Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
    I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
    Help!

  • There is instructions on how to set up home sharing, which I followed, but there's no Home Sharing in existence in the pop-up library menus from either of our computers! Help!

    Hi! I have an iMac (mid 2011) and a MacBook Pro (mid 2012). We want to do Home Sharing
    but it is not working. I have some movies on his (all of our movies and media are downloaded
    with the SAME Apple ID --we share the same one) I want on mine. But after I
    Turn on Home Sharing under File in BOTH of ours, nothing happens. What gives?
    The things it says in the help aren't in existence. It says there's Home SHaring in the pop
    up Library menu, well there is not.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    Hi IsACharlee,
    If Home Sharing does not appear to be working after turning it on for both computers, see the additional troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • How do you know if the Maverick download is happening?

    I am now trying to download Maverick .. & have been hearing a whirring sound. But it starts then stops?
    - BUT I can't tell if it's done. I've kept the "page" on the screen, and the "download" button shows grey & it shows "Downloading"
    - BUT I don't see any circles, to show anything is happening.
    - NOR can I see anything on download in Finder. I've been checking the apple icon to see & it still shows Lion, 10.7.5 that I got in 2012. I have 4GB.
    So, How do you know if the Maverick download is happening - & when it's done?
    Last, do you have to restart the computer? I haven't been able to find a "how to" about this download.
    Thanks

    With App Store open, purchases or updates pane (can't recall which), CMD+R to reload the page, and you should see a progress bar. Should look like this:

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
