They screwed up the first Flashback removal tool very badly, locking several users out of their accounts permanently. It took a day or so for them to react and post a revised tool, but the damage had been done.
They are one of several formerly PC only vendors who rushed to the Mac front back in the spring after the Flashback scare. I would advise giving all of those folks time to prove they really understand OS X before installing it on any of my Macs. There are several others who have proven themselves.
Since you are running what I assume to be a fully up-to-date OS X 10.6.8 you are not vulnerable to any currently known malware capable of impacting OS X or other Mac software. That's no guarantee there won't be something new show up tomorrow, but the chances of any commercial anti-malware software catching it before Apple can react is pretty slim, IMHO.
Now if you are concerned about Windows malware, that's a different story.

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

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’.

Where is the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manage?

I want to get rid of "Press escape to exit full screen mode." You tell me to go to "Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager." Where is this?

I am not sure what the instructions may be that you are following.
For FlashPlayer control panel try this
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
The link should actually open the control panel.

Firefox 8.0.1-4.dmg - downloads - could not be opened. Quick Time Layer cannot open files in the "Disk Image" Format - What do I need to do?

I get the above message when I try to download Firefox updates.

That is a disk image file and you can't open that in an application.
 
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly. 
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file with a double-click if necessary and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive. 
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Creating H.264 FLV file as per Spec, does not play with Adobe Flash Player 10

1] We have developed an application to encapsulate H.264 video inside FLV container, following the "Adobe Video File Format Specifications 9". According to the specification the H.264 video data is embedded in FLV tags, as follows
FLV Headers: Meta Tag: Sequence of Video Tag.
But in spite of following the specifications, Adobe Flash Player (version 10) could not play this FLV file. However, some players were able to play this FLV file. The fact that Adobe did not play it was very surprising.
2] We searched and finally found one FLV file, which contained H.264 video (unlike others which usually contained Sorenson's H.263). This file was played fine by Adobe Flash Player. So it led us to investigate further and we found that
[A] the video tag was preceded with 2 byte length of the every "contained" H.264 NALU. This applied to all the NALUs / I-slices/P-slices and so on. This is not documented.
[B] Only the first video tag (containing video sequence params), is preceded by the sequence "01 4D 00 15 FD E1" followed by 2 byte length and then the video data (sequence parameters in this case). What are these additional bytes ? where are they documented ?
Could you pls share your views about the above and point us to the documents, if any, which are in agreement with the above observations.We think there is a discrepency in the document related with authoring FLV file with H.264 content.
Thanks,

You could push it out to one or two users and test. Moving up to the latest version of Flash Player is USUALLY a good idea, however, if you happen to be on Captivate 4, be aware that there was an issue reported some time ago that once you upgraded your development machine to Flash Player 11 it interfered with publishing out courses. I cannot remember seeing a bugfix issued to Cp4 users for this (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If you're on Cp5 or 5.5 this shouldn't be an issue.

I have Windows XP,Firefox does not recognize my Adobe flash player.How doI fix this.

I have the latest version of Adobe flash player,It works with IE,it will not work with Firefox.It will not download flash player,because it is already installed,How do I get to work with Firefox?Thank you for your time.

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
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', 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/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Why is Youtube not recognizing my Adobe Flash Player Add-On?

I just did the auto update so that Firefox 17.0 was installed. Anyway, for whatever reason, Youtube only seems to notice that my Adobe Flash Player add-on exists when it wants to. At the moment, it's not recognizing it, so I can't play videos. I've had to close out my current sessions of Firefox to get it to recognize the Flash Player, and then even then it's a crap shoot. What is going on? How can I fix this? Flash is one of the most basic programs needed in an internet browser, these days.

Yes, this worked. And, I didn't even have to close Firefox to get it to work.

If I am the sole user of my laptop why do I need an administrator login and pw to download OSXMaverick or Adobe Flash Player?

I was not going to download Maverick because I had heard many less than favorable reviews. However, I started running into issues yesterday and now am stuck. I went to upload some images to a FB album and received a message telling me that I would need to download Adobe Flash Player or otherwise i could only upload one image at a time. Then I went to view a friend's video and received the same message. I chatted with a few fellow mac users who suggested I download OSXMaverick. I started to and received a message telling me I needed an administrator login and pw. I used my Mac Id...no go. I am the sole user of this device and always have been. I have no recollection of running into any such issue when downloading OSXMountain Lion. Why gives?

You are not the filesystem owner outside of your login directory. By assigning administrator privileges, you are now authorized to install software (with a challenge for your login password, not your Apple ID) where you otherwise would not be permitted.

Fire fox is not upgrading to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 (2.70 MB)

All the web sites I use want Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 I downloaded from Adobe and installed it. it did not install in Firefox. I was told to clear cache private data and cookie did it and it still is not installing in Firefox. I have to use IE to visit the sites that upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32, '''I don't like IE'''

Hi oarun,
Yes. There are 2 things, maybe 3 you should try.
Go to Flash download site and DO NOT download 10.2.152.32. Instead look the site for the hotlink that says "for other browsers" and download it. You should see 10.2.152.33 for Safari and other browsers. Download this one. (I don't think you have to uninstall the 10.2.152.32 Flash version but you might have to in case your browser gets confused)
Now, try your Firefox browser and see if the videos work.
If the videos work in Firefox, you should be good to go.
Remember, IE8 and the Flash Update for Windows is where the problem is at from my perspective.
My computer runs Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). I have been running Windows since 1995 with all the updates. You don't have to be on an Apple Operating System to load the Apple Safari browser. I personally like Safari much better than IE8 but I am running both IE8 and Safari on my computer as we communicate.
Let me know if this works for you. I inserted a screen shot of the Flash download page showing where to download the Flash update for Safari and other browsers but not IE8 below:

Message was edited by: newsguy64 I forgot to tell you. If Firefox does not work, then go to Apple's website and download their Safari browser. I know it works on XP!!! I wish you success.!
Message was edited by: newsguy64 Good grief, I goofed. You are using Chrome, not Firefox. Regardless, the "other browser Flash download is still the ticket, maybe.
Message was edited by: newsguy64 OARJUN, I JUST TESTED CHROME AND IT WORKS GREAT WITH THE DOWNLOAD FROM FLASH I SUGGESTED TO YOU ABOVE.

Why the Apple products does not work with Adobe flash player?

Could be better if the Apple products work with Adobe Flash Player, I know that Steve does not like to work with them, but I think will be necessary soon.

From Adobe's own site:
*** NOTE: FLASH PLAYER IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED FOR NEW DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS. FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON ANY ANDROID VERSION BEYOND ANDROID 4.0.x ***
While Flash Player remains on Google Play for installation on Android devices that are certified by the manufacturer, installing Flash Player on an uncertified device may result in unexpected behavior and can potentially destabilize your device. A list of certified devices can be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/certifieddevices. Flash Player WILL NOT be supported on any device shipped with or upgraded to an Android version beyond Android 4.0.x
Further comments on what is the case on Android devices is irrelevant. Adobe has dropped further development of Flash for mobile devices and Apple has made no indications that they have any plans to do so themselves, so it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a native Flash player for any iOS device.
'nuff said on the matter. Regards.

Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player, I still cannot open PDF files.

Even though I uninstalled Adobe Reader & Adobe Flash Player and reinstalled the latest versions, I still cannot open PDF files. They always try to open in Word 2010.

This is a Windows setting. In Windows 7 you can change it through the Control Panel: Either Start>Default Programs or Start>Control Panel>Programs>Default Programs>Set Associations
Find .pdf and change it (click Change Program) from Microsoft Word to Adobe Reader. Browse to find the Reader application if necessary: Program Files>Adobe>Reader11>Reader>AcroRd.exe

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Welcome to Discussions, marymba
For your skill level, re-read the User Guide manual that came with your Mac and then use your Mac's "Help" to searches for basic info about any words you do not understand from my suggestions.
If you need more help, spend some time studying subjects of interest from the link below:
Click link-> http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/ <-Click link
Mac 101 offers new users a great basic primer on using and troubleshooting your Mac.
If the above do not give you the level of detailed information you need, you need more training than I could write here. If you do not have a Mac friend who can help you, your nearest computer store can help you find low or no-cost help sources such as: a local Mac Users' Group, Adult Education courses, or perhaps even a computer club in your area. You can also find help in books or magazines dedicated to using Macs. Many are available from bookstores as well as from the on-line Apple Store at this link:

Airplay mirroring not compatible with adobe flash player videos

anybody else have this problem with playing adobe flash player video via Airplay mirroring? The video freezes on me and the audio quits...

It is on OSX though. They are playing it from a laptop.
And AirPlay freezes quits and generally does not work well regularly unless you have an absolutely perfect network setup. I am assuming you are using WiFi. If you want to use AirPlay you will probably at least need ATV connected via a wired connection.

I am not able to install updates on my Mac Air laptop. IT says The document "Firefox 6.0.1.dmg" could not be opened. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager cannot open files in the "Disk Image" format.
