How to upgrade old flash installs

I have several instances of flash.ocx and NPSWF32.dll in
several places that are now old, insecure versions. Can I upgrade
them to the laster version of flash, and if so, how?
They're installed at:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Flash Player\Flash.ocx (version 6.0.68.0)
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Flash
Player\Flash.ocx (version 6.0.68.0)
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Flash Player\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Flash
Player\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
While I'm at it, in the C:\Windows\System32 folders there are
also slightly older versions of flash. The Adobe update site claims
that it's upgrading to 9.0.47.0, but the files still report the
older version number.
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx (version
9.0.28.0)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll (version
9.0.45.0)
Thank you,
Brian

If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

    cannot upgrade adobe flash. installation fails to initianize. plse advise

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • I have licensed version of Flash Builder with Master Collection CS5.5 how to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7

    Did not take advantage of the free upgrade awhile back and need to upgrade my Flash Builder 4.6 licensed in Master Collection 5.5 to version 4.7.
    My serial is not working from my MC5.5 and my individual license from my Flash Builder is not working.
    Any ideas on to solve this issue?
    Tried to purchase an upgrade on their site but cannot find one that will let me upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7.

    No. You'll either have to pay for CS6 at full price. Or you'll need a subscription to the Creative Cloud. I highly recommend the latter.

  • How to upgrade old G4

    I have an old G4; what upgrade path is needed to allow it to run Panther so that it is at least compatible with my other IBOOK G4

    Any G4 Mac should be able to run Mac OS 10.3 "Panther". You will need to upgrade your RAM to at least 256 Mb and should have a minimum of 3.0 Gb free space on the drive you are installing on. I recommend upgrading the RAM to the full capacity (probably 2.0 Gb), since memory prices are low enough. I'd also recommend adding another hard drive (internal if you have a Power Mac, or external for easy swapping with your iBook).
    See the following article for details on Panther system requirements:

  • Using my current ID and password I can sign in to Adobe. When I try to download the upgrade to Flash Player they ask for ID and password. When I put in my current one it is rejected. What causes this and how do I correct it?

    Using my current ID and password I can sign in to Adobe. When I try to download the upgrade to Flash Player they ask for my ID and Password. When I insert my current ID and password it is rejected. How do I correct this problem? Is it an incorrect sign in from an old ID, and/or an old password associated with Flash Player?

    The password prompt is supplied by the operating system, and is intended to protect you from accidentally installing software.  You will get this prompt for any installation outside the App Store context.
    If you do not need to enter a username or password when starting your computer, you can probably just leave the password field blank when acknowledging this prompt.

  • How do I move Flash CS6 from an old computer to a new one?

    I installed CC and CS6 on my computer when it was first introduced years ago. Now I need to upgrade to a new computer. The CC on the new computer does not show Flash CS6 support. I require AS2 since I have created many apps with it for my customers and need to continue to support them. I do not intend to switch to AS3 because I have too many old apps to change over.
    How do I install Flash CS6 on my new computer so I can remove it from my old one and get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    You can install Flash CS6 on your new machine with your Creative Cloud subscription.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID on the page https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash. You can then toggle the version from CC to CS6 and click the blue Download button. This will make the Creative Cloud app download and install the CS6 version.

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
    Thanks

  • How does one update Flash? I currently cannot watch videos on You Tube, it says I need to upgrade, I have no problem doing this on a PC.

    How does one update Flash? I currently cannot watch videos on You Tube, it says I need to upgrade, I have no problem doing this on a PC.

    If you're not using chrome you can just go to adobe's website (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and download the newest flash player.  You run the .dmg and then open the application, which updates flash.  With the latest version of flash there should be a preference pane within system preferences to allow you to change settings and check for updates.

  • How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

    I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
    I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
    I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
    In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
    Thank You.

    Hi Texan,
    Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer.  Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly).  To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates.  Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014.  Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
    If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

  • Installing / upgrading from Flash 10.1 to Flash 11 in Android. How may I do that?

    Hello,
    I got my new tablet, and I am having problems to browse facebook. I can browse it perfectly, but I cannot see the videos of the walls, it says I need a flash upgrade and that I must press over the video to jump to the adobe website, to detect my operating system and browser.
    Okay.
    I do that, and it says I have a Mac OS X
    That is not true!!! I have Android 2.2 !!!
    So it is clear the automatic recognition don't work at all and I have to install the new Flash 11.
    Okay... I am very confused about this, and I want to do this safely.
    First doubt, where may I get the original Adobe Flash APK file with Flash 11 ?
    There are a lot of websites that provide APK in a doubtful manner... and well, I'd rather prefer to enter in an official place from Adobe, and download Flash from there. But without automatic recognitions, I just want to download Flash 11 for Android.
    How may I do that?
    THIS TABLET DON'T HAVE ANDROID MARKET SUPPORT, so I cannot get the APK file from Market.
    There are many many tablets that don't support market, and they also need flash to browse the web.
    Second doubt... do I need a specific version of Flash for my browser?
    How may I know what browser I have installed? I tried to verify this in my tablet and I have no idea of how to do that?
    My tablet is this:

    I really would appreciate your help with this.
    Thanks

    Very nice text, I've read it.
    And well ? what happens? Don't understand.
    I even cannot upgrade from Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3
    If are you telling me that Flash 11 is for Android 3 that is not my main problem, because I even cannot upgrade from Flash 10.1 to 10.3
    So if Flash 11 is for Android 3 ok understood.
    But how may I update from Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3?
    I still having the same problem, I cannot upgrade.
    When I activate the Merkamarket (an alternative Market) it detects I have Flash 10.1 and recommend me to apply an update to Flash 10.3
    Okay, I apply the update, and cannot be installed.
    So I need a way to update the dinosaur (Flash 10.1) to something more recent as Flash 10.3
    Also... I dont understand why Adobe don't provide a link to download the APK files of Flash 10.1 or Flash 10.3 ?
    All the APK files must be find in alternative websites, but not in the website of the maker (this)
    I dont understand that. Why?
    If you or someone can guide me step by step about how to upgrade a bit my Flash 10.1 to Flash 10.3 (assuming Flash 11 be just for Android 3) I'd be grateful.
    Thanks
