Is it ok to download an update of the adobe flash player on to your mac, or is it a risk to the system ?
Two things you should know about Flash:
1. Fake Flash installers are circulating on the Internet. They install a trojan instead of Flash. Only use a Flash installer that you personally downloaded from the Adobe website -- not any other site.
2. Flash is inherently insecure and exploits are found from time to time. Always make sure you have the latest version. Minimize your use of Flash by installing the ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin Safari extension. Most Flash content is garbage anyway.

Why won't the Adobe flash successfully download the newest version? I tried going to System Preferences, Adobe Flash, Advanced, Check Now and clicking on update.
Try un-installing and then re-installing.

Reward or thank people (or don't), as you see fit. Roaminggnome, as you can tell by his level number has been "rewarded" by lots of people. His information is generally spot on. Whether it pleases you or not, you don't get to decide who participates here and who doesn't. As long as they obey the TOU, they can stay, even if you don't like them. Ingore people who annoy you. It's what I do with people who are unable to accept help freely offered them because they don't like the packaging.
Best of luck. -
I recently downloaded the most current update for the Adobe Flash Drive. Now I cannot view any videos of any sort nor can I play any games on Facebook, like Candy Crush. It comes up as "Plug-in Failure" on the screen where the video or game would be played. I have uninstalled and reinstalled this with no results. Any help would be great.

Problems updating Adobe flash drive player
When I tried to update the Adobe flash drive player, it won't take the name already put in( which is different from my Adobe ID) with my current password. How do I fix that?
But it won't accept my newly reset adobe password so I can install the update and get rid of the plug-in blocks on websites I desperately want to see!

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!This did not work

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
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 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* 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. -
Is it safe to download adobe flash drive update from the internet (came via a notice from Adobe)
Is it safe to download an update from Adobe Flash Drive via the internet? A message from Adobe has popped up on a number of videos I'm trying to access.
If you are sure it is from Adobe, yes.
If you have the least little bit of doubt then go to the Adobe site yourself and download from their site and then install it. -

Trying to download updated version of Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Air, and "Blocked Plug-In" keeps coming up and I cannot download.
After downloading, you need to install Flash Player. Double-click the downloaded file to install it.

I keep getting a message to update and download a new version of Adobe Flash Player I also received
I keep getting a message to downlod an updated version of Adobe Flash Player. I also received a notice to change my password because of phishing problems. I changed my password but should I download the different Flash Player or is that phishing also?
Message was edited by: Nana NolandFind the ADDRESS box at the top left corner of your browser ( where http://forums.adobe.com appears ). On the far right side of the ADDRESS box is a clockwise circular arrow that will REFRESH your current web page. Immediately to the left of the REFRESH arrow is a small circle with a diagonal line thru it ( the universal symbol for negation as in the traffic sign NO LEFT TURN ). Left click on the small circle and then click on the TURN OFF ACTIVE X FILTERING button that appears in the drop down box.
Flash Player is probably already properly installed on your computer. Internet Explorer ( your browser ) just blocks certain TYPES of content as potentially harmful and when it does, ABC.com ( for example ) thinks you don't have Flash Player installed and offers a way for you to install it. You don not want to turn off Active X filtering using the tools menu because that will make you vulnerable to malicious applets that the filter was constructed to protect against. -
Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?
I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

After I downloaded Firefox, I attempted to update the top four plugins, I already have adobe flash player, but I went on ahead and downloaded it again with the other three, java and two others. I then restarted my computer, and when I logged back on to face book Farmville would not load a message said if it don't load in ten seconds I would need to update the adobe flasher which is in my add and delete box. The same with Cafe world, it will not load as well! My google search is missing as well! I have no problems logging on to Face book, but I can't go to any of the applications that I normally play with now! I did updated the top four plugins as was suggested and now I'm having problems!

Just updated to the latest Flash and now it's saying for the last 2 days that Flash has crashed on my Firefox on my iMac. It was working fine before then. It wasn't working at first on my Safari either after the update but after closing the browser and reopening it, Flash was working. I tried the same thing with Firefox and even tried shutting the computer off and it still doesn't work. After uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, of which I had the latest version before it was uninstalled, Flash still doesn't work. It doesn't work for games, videos, etc, even when trying to look at the Adobe website, it still says that it's crashed. I called Adobe and they said that it's not an Adobe product problem, but a browser problem. Any suggestions?
You updated from Flash 12 to Flash 13.0.0.182, correct?
IF it is the same thing, as seems likely, it would appear to be a known issue only affecting some Macs and the work around is to downgrade by using an uninstaller and reinstall the older versions

'''Adobe Update 4/10'''<br>
We have determined that this problem is due to a compiler update in our build infrastructure that exposed a long-standing bug in a Mac system library. Flash Player now attempts to use CPU instructions that are not available on a subset of supported Mac hardware from 2006 to 2007. None of the machines in our compatibility labs are affected, so the issue didn't show up in our testing, but we were able to track down a machine that reproduces the issue yesterday. We're actively working on a fix and I'll update this post again once we have more information.
