Mac: How do you use the "Install Manager" to update Flash?

So on a Mac with 10.3.181.22 installed, I went to a web page and the "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager" ran and notified me that an update to Flash was available.
I didn't want to install this at that time, so I dismissed it.
How do I force another check for an installation update procedure? If I manually run the Install Manager in /Applications/Utilities, it only gives me the option to *Uninstall* Flash Player and revisiting the web page (or running some other Flash animation) did not prompt me again that there was an update.
What am I missing to trigger the automatic notification/installation?

Hi, I'm not familiar with that Mac feature since I don't use a Mac. However, you can go to this site and Install:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Also you can now use the automatic Flash Player notification for the Mac here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
With this, the next time Flash Player has an update you will receive a prompt and can choose to "Install now"/"Remind me later" or "Don't Install" I use it all of the time and the update is done in under 2 minutes!!
Hope that helps,

What are you missing?
I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
Yes, I always clear up the cache.
Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

How do i install adobe flash flyer to my mac book pro laptop im unable to watch any video on you tube or ay where

How do i install adobe flash flyer to the mac book pro laptop .it states my adobe is out dated i need to install a newer version.

Go to this link to download the installer and this link to determine which version you have installed. Always get extensions like this from the publisher (in this case Adobe) and not from some website that says you need an extension and offers to install it for you since you may end up with malware instead.
BTW, once the current version of Flash is installed, you can set its preferences to update automatically in the background.

How do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the household using one 20 dollar license?

how do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the houshold with the same license (you only pay 20 bucks for all your macs) is that right?

As long as they're all logged into the Mac App store with the same Apple ID, you can re-download the installer to all the Macs.
Or you can save a copy of the installer file before you run it and use that to update the other Macs. The ML installer file will appear in your Applications folder when it's done downloading. Copy it to another location (don't move it).
If you don't copy it before you upgrade, it will disappear when ML is finished installing.

HT1338 this is all well and good but how do you upgrade software, i have no updates waiting and a lot of stuff now requires updates, all i want is to buy lion snow leopard, etc. online however every time i look for a solution i get a really really crap so

I'm having a problem upgrading my computer, i wish to download snow lepard and lion but every link on the apple website as been so unhelpfull that i have no idea how to get it or where to downlaod it. is there anywhere i can do this.... the only referances i have had have been "click on the apple and press software update" i have no updates and my computer will no longer do anything without an update......
where can i get snow lepard and lion....

Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
More about Macs
The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard

Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

TS1702 How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

You can download updates to your computer's iTunes via the Check For Updates button at the bottom of the Apps section of your iTunes library. When they've been downloaded, and if you haven't already done so, connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes (if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side clicking the Sync button at the bottom of it should install the relevant updates.

How can you set a Firmware Password for Intel Macs?

PPC macs can use the Open Firmware Password utility to protect the computer from someone booting of another drive to access your data http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
How can this same protection be accomplished with Intel-Macs? Intel Macs use a different fireware/boot process, so OFP above doesn't work. according to the apple article above, it can be done - but it doesn't explain how:
"Intel-based Macintosh computers can be protected by firmware passwords as well. The firmware in an Intel-based computer uses Extended Firmware Interface (EFI) technology"

all I get is...
Your Firmware is too old.
The firmware on your machine is too old for Open Firmware Password to function. You will need 4.1.7 or later to use this application. Please visit the Apple website to get the latest firmware update for your system.

Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

HT204053 i'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't upadte my free software, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOTOWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how I ca

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

How do you get a pc account on a mac

How can I get a pc account on my mac??

There are two ways of doing it,
One is using a program built into your mac, called "Boot Camp"
Detailed information is here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461
The other is using a program called "Parallels", which you will have to buy
Detailed info is here
http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/02/02/how-to-install-windows-7-in-os-x-using-para llels-desktop-a-complete-walkthrough/
Boot Camp requires a reboot to switch from OSX to Windows, where as Parallels will run both operating systems simultaneously. Parallels will consume more processing power.

How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
(I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.
