HT1338 Update Adobe flash

It keeps asking me to update Adobe Flash and I already have but still keeps asking...I have uninstalled and re-installed....Please help

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:

The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

  • HT5660 When updating Adobe Flash Player on my Mac I am told "blocked plug in."  How do I reverse this?

    When trying to update Adobe Flash Player on My iMac I get a message that says "blocked Plug-ins."  When going back to previously viewed studies, including youtube, I get the same message.  What changed if the update was never installed?  How can I reverse this situation?  Thanks for any ideas? 
    PS - not a techie :-)

    Are you actually getting a Java error too, or are you only getting a Flash error?

  • I am trying to update Adobe Flash.  When I download the update there's an error message that says there is no documents in the file.  It's only downloading 1.2MB or 15MB.  I get the same message when I try to download the Uninstaller (which is the solutio

    I don't seem to be able to download the Install or Uninstall for Adobe Flash.  Flash won't play because it's not up to date.  I have checked system preferences and they are correct.  What can I do to update Adobe Flash?
    Thx.

    You need to do a "clean install": http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823
    That'll remove the old plug-in completely.
    Works 99% of the time.

  • MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8): can't update adobe flash - now Word, Chrome, etc. all crashing on startup

    I am not computer savvy, so if you answer, please be slow and deliberate. thanks!
    Was having Adobe shockwave/flash problems while running Chrome, which is not completely unheard of. Restarted my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8), which included a software update (though I'm not sure exactly what programs were updated).
    Now Chrome will not run at all. Every time I start, it crashes immediately. Have tried SEVERAL times to trash/download it, but the same version seems to keep appearing in my Applications folder. Have also tried trashing the Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome folder to no avail. Appears back in its place after dragging it to the trash. 
    In addition, Adobe flash videos for Safari and Firefox (which I just downloaded as a tester) also will not work. Each attempt to update Adobe Flash also ends in a crash. And now I've discovered the same for everything Microsoft (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The program shuts down and the Microsoft error message appears breifly, followed by the same crash "Mircrosoft Word Error Reporting Quit Unexpectedly" box.
    Again, have tried several times to download Chrome & Adobe Flash to no avail. All system updates have been made to date. What to do next?

    Has your computer started running slowly as well?  Everything taking forever to work?
    if so, this is the same type of issues I'm having.

  • Firefox is hanging after trying to update Adobe Flash. I can't fix it as long as Firefox is open, but I'm unable to close it-menu bar won't even appear.

    In the process of updating Adobe Flash, Firefox froze. It registers as being open, and none of the fixes I've tried will work as long as it's open, but I can't close it. Even when I click on the Firefox icon, the Firefox menu bar doesn't appear. No Firefox window appears.

    Good advice - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

  • I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  No error message, just -600.

    I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  Message just says 'unable to open' -600.  I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way.  What should I do?  There's nothing in Help that helps.

    Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. 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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Cant update adobe flash

    My iMac (OS X 10.8.2) is unable to update Adobe Flash. I use both Chrome and Safari, which Chrome updates automatically and Safari does not. However this is not the problem. i have repeatedly tried to update Flash Player for Safari, all times failed. a pop up box states that the reason is "image data corrupted". How do i overcome this technical problem?

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot, any change?

    trying to update adobe flash player on firefox and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Do you have a MAC or Windows ?
    For Windows, you can launch Windows Task Manager and go to Processes Tab, kill "Firefox.exe"
    For MAC, you can launch Activity Monitor and Force Quit "Firefox"
    Thanks,

  • I have updated Adobe flash plug-in but it continues to crash. It has crashed on me over 3 times in the last hour; why is that? Is it firefox?

    I have updated Adobe flash plug-in more than once, but it continues to crash. It always does it right in the middle of a game or something I'm playing. Now, I pay real money to play these games so that I can purchase certain things, so this is now frustrating me. If it's firefox that keeps adobe crashing please let me know so that I can go back to using internet explorer.'''bold text'''

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • I have the latest firefox but can't view youtube. It wants me to update adobe flash but I can't get that to succeed. Is it safe now? How do I proceed?

    I know adobe flash has been vulnerable but is it still. It tells me to update and the top choice says it is vulnerable. The second choice didn't succeed. I have this problem with other videos as well. Thank you very much! K.

    hello, please try to update Adobe Flash Player to version 16.0.0.305 through this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
