I updated Flash Player, and now it says the plug-in is blocked...

I am on an iMac (OS X, version 10.6.8), running Safari (5.1.10).
Flash was running fine.
I got a notice on Facebook that I needed to update my Flash Player.
Silly me, DID!
And now, it says the 'plug-in is blocked' and I need to update.
So I updated again. Still blocked.
I did a re-start after the update, thinking that might help. Nope.
Well, this is one way to get me off of Facebook, thanks a bunch! :-)

I'm a freelance web/graphic designer/videographer who makes his living with Adobe™ products.
My work allows me to help here while designing websites for clients, so I "give back" to the comapny that enables my livelihood.
The link goes to MY own website, where I have the PDF for download.
I did that with my Snow Leopard machine over last weekend. It's easier than posting all the pictures for every step, here. There are two links in the PDF:
1. is the latest Flash Player for Mac right here at Adobe™.
2. is the End User License Agreement right here at Adobe™.
See my info?
4705 pts, means I've solved at leaast 400 people's troubles here (and helped a lot more) JUST in the last 9 months, but I've been here since 2004 under three other account names.
Most of the people I help are Mac users because I'm a 12 year Mac user myself, and was once Apple certified.

  • Does updating Flash Player and Adobe Air solve the Swf.Exploit.CVE_2014_0581 problem?

    My ClamXav found the following attached to an app (JL Edwardian Advent Calendar) on my computer: Swf.Exploit.CVE_2014_0581. I have deleted and reinstalled the app, and I have updated the Flash Player and Adobe Air, but ClamXav continues to mark it as infected. Could this be a false positive? Is it safe to run this app after the updates?

    Added one yesterday:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3560258
    Interestingly air 3.7 on IOS to Desktop air 3.7 will work.
    I am investigating if I can use 3.7 on Android to connect to 3.7 on iOS - so far I cannot get the apk to install on my Galaxy S3, compile using 3.4 and all is good. Air runtime has been updated via Play store - and build uses compiled runtime.
    I cannot get Flash player 11.4 to connect with air 3.7 on iOS either.
    NetGroup.Neighbour.Connect never fires.
    All SDKS above 3.4 upto 3.8 beta exhibit the same problem.
    3.4 works perfectly and can connect to flash player, and other Air/iOS devices just fine.
    Shuld not be a issue with firewalls etc, thay are all open.
    I can email you the fla, it is for a product so I can't post it here.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

  • I updated Adobe flash player and now i'm unable to open Opera and I have to use the power button to shut down the computer?

    How do you delete programs?
    thanks

    If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
    Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

  • I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash Player and then was given link to do so.

    I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash player and then downloaded the new version.  After going into Adobe to see if I was installed correctly I found that the program was installed and I had the new version 10.0.45.2.   When I try to play a game that I have been playing for months, I get the message that I need Flash Player version 8 or above.   What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do now?

    Thanks for your response.
    Now I think I might have it but one thing confuses me.   Will mention it at the end.

    What confuses me is that most of not all of the dates say 1/26/10.  Doesn't give a date of yesterday when I did Flash Player for Firefox.  Is that normal?
    Bottom line -- I can now do the games in Firefox that I haven't been able to play since I installed Firefox.  Wouldn't let me play some other video files as well.
    I am still unable to do slow scrolling in e-mail or other webpages when I make the page full screen.  that is only in Comcast and not AOL.  It must be a Comcast problem so will have to get in touch with them.
    Let me know if all my files in Flash are okay.

    I updated my ipod and now it says my ipod can't be activated because activation server cannot be reached. How do I get it back on track?

    Hello,
    Try reseting your device.
    Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
    I just refreshed your post, so if this does not help you, it is now at the top of the list for a short while, other people should be able to try and help you.

  • I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept.  Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

    I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update.  How can I update adobe flash?

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

    Your iPhone is in recovery mode.  Do the following to get it out of recovery mode.
    Plug your iPhone into your computer with iTunes open make sure iTunes recognizes the iPhone in recovery mode.
    Hold down the power button and the home button to do a hard reset and shut it off
    Keep your finger on the Home button ONLY and unplug the iPhone from the cable
    Release the Home button and allow the iPhone to power back on which may take a few minutes
    The iPhone will return to its prior format
    Hope that helps!

  • HT201210 I tried updating my iphone and now it says I have to restore my phone. I've never had to do this with any other updates, I'm confused?

    I tried updating my iphone and now it says I have to restore my phone. I've never had this problem with the previous updates, I'm confused?

    Same with me. The Upgrade hung up and froze the phone. Do the restore and then back it up when you get into iTunes from a previous save. It takes the better part of an hour our of your day depending how many apps and songs you have to get everything back together. It is a royal pain but I didn't lose anything.
    Download a youtube app. It's not in iOS6.

    HI, Im using Iphone 4 and i recently got my IOS updated to IOS7 and  now im getting the error message as "PDP authentication failure" Im using Aircel carrier.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.
