HT2128 install adobe flash player, is it safe for mac

"Install Adobe Flash Player" popped up on the screen. Is it safe to install it on a Mac computer...ie. compatible?
thanks

It's reasonably safe as long as you get it directly from adobe.com -- nowhere else.

  • Adobe flash player 11.7 exists for mac power PC?

    I have a Mac Power PC with leopard 10.5.5 and I need Adobe Flash Player 11.7.

    Not really possible, but there may be a workaround:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    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 first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • How do i install Adobe flash player 10.2 on my Mac 10.4 Tiger?

    Adobe says i have 9.0 flash player on my computer.  I uninstalled it every place i found it and rebooted. Adobe says i still show a 9.0 flash player and i don't know where else to look for it. My computer has all the requirements to download the 10.2 flash player but every time i try to install it, it won't install. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi mgman1974, I know your Mac is not an Intel. You posted on the other thread and I responded to you there. This person,
    nicky49 DOES have an Intel Mac and my messages to them are for them, not a PPC.
    This is the thread that I gave you on the other thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/812290?tstart=90
    From that thread the user said: First I am a MAC OS 10.4.11 32-bit Firefoc v 3.6. My MAC is PowerPC. Therefore, I cannot download and use the new version -10.2.
    I responded: I've heard from other PPC users. The latest Flash Player would be version 10.1.102.64. So Google Maps won't support that version either?
    They responded to me: HI! Guess What?! 10.1 actually DOES work with MAC OS 10.4.11.
    Now you are saying that doesn't work? I thot that Adobe stopped supporting the Power PC. So is there a difference between your G5 PPC and this person's Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC?
    I told you I don't understand Mac very well, LOL I'm totally confused!!
    Thanks. I just assumed if FP 10.1 worked on that person's PPC it would work on any PPC.
    I won't ask what the difference is:-)

  • Installing adobe flash player to MacBook pro

    I am trying to install adobe flash player on a brand new Mac book Pro but it isn't downloading.

    Or here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that either link will get you a .dmg file downloaded onto your Mac. Double click to open. Inside is the installer program itself, which you must run and follow its instructions to complete the Flash installation.

  • Is it safe to install adobe flash player?

    Hello.
    new to macbook pro and trying to catch up with the differences with windows.
    this is second post and first question.ive searched the forum and found a thread about lions and adobe flash(maybe there is a thread and i didnt found it)
    so im asking this question.
    i Usually visits sites with flash content.and i know what to do with windows.
    but on mac its a different story.
    is it safe to install adobe flash player or it can be dangerous? (malware,malicious software etc)

    thanks in advance

    You can check your Flash version at
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html

    Never, ever, download it from other sites that may tell you you need it.

  • Unable to install Adobe Flash Player and Download Manager issue

    Dear all,

    As a note, running with no anti-virus software is a very bad choice. I would try installing Microsoft security Essentials, [http://microsoft.com/security_essentials http://microsoft.com/security_essentials] to stay safe with a free but light weight anti-virus.
    If you want to install a new version of Flash, try installing [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exe].

    I have installed adobe flash player on my computer and this is not working please help

    What is your operating system & version?
    What is your web browser?
    What means "not working"; what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

  • Can't install adobe flash player

    i am not a techie, so the previous threads dont help me much -- not basic enough, i guess.   anyway, i cant seem to install adobe flash player.   i often click on a website or something, and it wont run because it says i need adobe flash player (had it before -- dont know what happened to ti).   when i follow the steps to download flash player, my computer freezes up and IE shuts down.  whats up, and how might i go forward?   and thanks in advance for helping out a non-techie.

    Well, that should mean that nothing is running in realtime and should not interfere as McAfee would. I think this version of Ad-Aware was an On-Demand, you ran it when you wanted to, it didn't run automatically, is that correct?
    Was the HJT just on the Desktop?
    When you left click on Ad-Aware what happens? We can remove it, but it isn't causing a problem now so we'll do that later.
    Did you have any ad block? What about pop-up blocker software installed?
    In your Manage Add ons, the All add ons, can you pull out all ActiveX Controls(list them?) If not don't worry about it.
    When you first began having problems, did you try to Install an older version of Flash Player thinking that would work?
    Are there any other Anti-Virus/Spyware that you had installed before that wasn't Uninstalled that may still be running in realtime?
    I'm trying to determine what caused the ActiveX Control error.
    Do you know how to find the Flash folder? If not, I do. Just tell me.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
         P.S. I just noticed your last post. I'll check on that Wise Uninstall. Someone had that and I forgot what it was for. Will have to find the thread, first I had ever heard of it. Thanks

  • I have a new mini ipad and need to install Adobe Flash Player on it in order to use certain items on the internet.  Can Adobe Flash Player be installed an used on my ipad??

    I have my first ipad.  It is the mini version.  I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player".   Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???

    You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

    Unable to install Adobe Flash Player iniMAC with OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Any suggestions?

    I have administrative prviledges.
    I obtained the latest version from the Adobe website.
    When I double click on the .dmg file I receive a message that I need to close open browsers which I do.
    Then I get a message stating that Adobe will be installed when I reopen browers.
    Finally when I check the Applications folder I find a file titled: Install Adobe Flash Player.
    This same application is shown in the dock.
    When I click in the file in either the Applications folder or the dock, the complete installation process starts again.
    Any suggestions?
