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.

  • How to download adobe flash player onto MacBook pro

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to download adobe flash player onto my new MacBook Pro with retina display please?
    I don't know what operating system it has?

    If you've a new Retina display MacBook Pro, it probably shipped with Mavericks - you can confirm this by going to the Apple on the menu bar and selecting "About This Mac...." if it says system 10.9 or 10.9.1, you're on Mavericks.
    To install Flash Player, you must first download it from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. After the download is complete, you should have a file with a .dmg extension in your Downloads folder. Double-click this file and it will 'mount' as if it is a disk. There will be a 'package' inside and you must double-click this to actually install Flash Player.
    Once Flash Player is installed, restart your computer and then open your browser. You should now be able to view Flash content.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    cannot play many videos as they require flash player - is it safe to download the flash player or is that likely to expose you to malware and viruses?
    also cannot download many pdf files as they need adobe acrobat.

    Yes, IF YOU DO SO FROM THE ADOBE WEB SITE!

  • Problem Installing Adobe Flash Player on Macbook Pro

    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.9.5 and I am trying to install the latest version of adobe flash player Version 16.0.0.235. The flash player shows up in my downloads, but the icon is different that what it is supposed to look like. When I double click on the download, a text file appears and I can only open the download through "Text Edit". I have tried everything and I can't figure out why this is happening. I have attached a picture of what the download looks like on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Installing adobe flash player to MacBook pro

    I am trying to install adobe flash player on a brand new Mac book Pro but it isn't downloading.

    Or here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that either link will get you a .dmg file downloaded onto your Mac. Double click to open. Inside is the installer program itself, which you must run and follow its instructions to complete the Flash installation.

  • Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

    Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

    Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
    Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
    Happy computing!

  • 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

    You can check your Flash version at
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
    and download the player at
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Never, ever, download it from other sites that may tell you you need it.

  • Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for Mac?

    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.
