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 download Adobe Flash player and it is asking me to close Mozilla Firefox, how do I do this?

I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player and it is asking me to close Mozilla Firefox before it will download. How do I do this?

Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit or Firefox > Exit.
Then run the Flash installer with a double lick on that desktop icon.<br />
You may need to use "Run as Administrator" via the right-click context menu of that file.

Firefox is refusing to allow me to download Adobe Flash Player so it is stopping me playing Farmville on Facebook. how do I solve this problem.

I downloaded Adobe Flash Player as Firefox was not allowing me to play Farmville on Facebook3.6.10, but Adobe said that it couldn't load until all the conflicting programs were closed. so I closed Firefox and Adobe disappeared off my screen as well, the operating system I am using is Windows 7 Home Premium

N95 Error when updating Adobe Flash player

On my Nokia N95, the Adobe Flash lite player got the version 2.0 built in (that version do not support Flash application ver. 8)
So I tried to update the player on the Adobe web site to Flash Lite 2.1 for Symbian and even tried to install the plug-in Flash Lite 2.1 for Flash Professional 8, but each time, it give me the error message : unable to install. Component already built in. So I would like to know if it's possible to update the Adobe Flash lite player ver. 2 to ver. 2.1 ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You should look for the Nokia Software Updater and upgrade your device firmware, this will include Flash Lite 3.0

Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

Google Chrome installing without my consent when I update Adobe Flash Player

To whom do I complain about Google Chrome installing without my consent when I updated Adobe Flash Player? I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X this morning. I saw no indication that Google Chrome was going to install and given that I have used GC in the past and absolutely hated it I would not have completed the Flash update. If there is an opt-out for Chrome when updating Flash it needs to be more obvious.
I was annoyed but simply uninstalled Chrome and thought that would take care of it. Not so fast! Suddenly links in Outlook emails stopped working. All tolled I spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was, finding the solution and editing the registry to get rid of Chrome. I have moved beyond annoyed to livid. I am self-employed and did not have 2 hours of my week to devote to this.
I will never use Google Chrome. I tried it, didn't like it and I'm now I'm thoroughly done. Is there a way to permanently opt out of getting Google Chrome?
So again, to whom do I complain?
Tamara Gehle

No one--if they gave a **** int he first place their software gurus woulnd't have created a download that essentially hijacks your computer and installs the google toolbar and google chrome--all without asking for consent. Too much of this crap goes on. Look at your task manager--all sorts of updates and crap running behind the scenes (google update runs constantly on my other computer till I deleted the updater.exe)-too much of it from hidden downloads like this site propgates. And to top it off, I can't edit Adopbe .pdf forms on line and save them anymore. So I found this link: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer where you can fill all those fillable fields in your .pdf doc, and save the damned thing. Works just like Adobe used to when you could fill in fields from forms on-line and save it.

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’.

Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

Hello!
I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files. That's what happened here. Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

*Flash Player for PPC Macs*
Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
Read this whole post before proceeding. You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
To update you should download:
Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
To install:
1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive. If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic). If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
7) Restart your computer.
Notes:
Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

Why am I reminded daily to update Adobe Flash Player. Do I need it and why?

I do not know of which use is Adobe Flash Player? I am reminded daily to update to avoid problems with Firefox.
I do not look movies or play games in the internet.
When starting to update Adobe Flash Player, I get afraid by the accompanying questions for private data.
Tell me what happens when I do not update Adobe Flash Player.
Regards Gerhard

It is recommended to update it as the latest version as it includes security updates. A lot of sites use Flash to display their content, it is not just used for movies and games.
You can carry on using your current version of Flash, just be aware that it has published security holes.

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,
Vikram

The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.
