Is it now safe to reinstall adobe flash on my mac pro?

I had uninstalled adobe flash as I had heard of security issues with it. Can I now safely reinstall it? Many utube videos will no play without it.
thanks

    Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for MAC?

    It's always okay. Hackers try to find ways to attack it, Adobe fixes it. Just like Apple releases patches for flaws that have been found. Just like Microsoft constantly releases security fixes for its OS and other software.
    No software is perfectly and forever safe, and unlikely ever will be. The only thing you must do in respect to the Flash Player is to only ever get it directly from Adobe. Never, EVER pay attention to any third party site that pops up a message about having to update flash. Especially if it tells you to download said update from their site.

  • I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Is it safe to download Adobe flash player on Macbook Pro?

    I can't watch any Youtube video's at all. It's telling me to downlaod the flash player. I just wanna make sure before I do, that its safe too do so? When I download it will it mess something with my warenty or no? Thanks in advance!

    Yes it is safe if you only download direct from Adobe.
    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.

  • I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  No error message, just -600.

    I updated Adobe Flash on my Mac and now my solitaire app won't open.  Message just says 'unable to open' -600.  I tried to reinstall Full Deck Solitaire, but the app store says it is already installed, so I can't do it that way.  What should I do?  There's nothing in Help that helps.

    Please restart the computer and try again. If it won't restart in the usual way, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to restart.

  • Every time i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player

    Everytime i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player11.8 . I have tryed everything i could find on the internet, nothing helps. please help.  I wish i could contact adobe directly but don't know how. Been trying to fix it for a week.

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.
    If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • Is it safe to install adobe flash player on my new MacBook Pro?

    I just got a MacBook Pro for college, and I'm wondering if it is safe to download adobe flash player on it?

    It is safe, although Flash is a pretty hefty pig sometimes and sometimes causes performance problems.
    (I use Click2Flash Safari extension, so I only run the flash stuff when I must have it.)
    Make sure you are downloading it from Adobe.
    Don't respond to other website attempts to give it to you.

  • 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)
    what are the precautions -except of keeping up to date- that i should take?
    thanks in advance

  • Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.
