Yes, why not? But be sure to install it from the official Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html

  • 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.

  • Installing the adobe flash player

    I have not installed the adobe flash player because it says I might have to disable my virus safety net during the download process.  I do not want to put my computer at risk for a virus at any time.  How can I access the flash player without having to disable my virus safety net?

    Depending what antivirus software you use, you may not need to do that.  Some very aggressive AV may prevent Flash Player from being installed; most however do not.
    Tell us more about your OS and AV, and someone will tell you what to do.

  • Because I have to install the Adobe Flash Player Active X or Normal?

    Hello All, Fisrs, forgive my  English because I am Spanish.
    I can think of something funny to me. I have installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X and I have Explorer 8 ( 32 bits ) , Windows Vista home Premium and every day asking me to install the Flash Player.
    Happens if install the same to Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5, in the same version yo have.
    I see that every day, if I look at the progras I have istalled , see this Adobe Flas Player ( active X or normal ) with a blanc icon, not the typical figure of the program.
    Not to do so the program gets installed forever. When yo reinstall it and the icon's own sotware.
    I really apreciate it that I help them see than hapening and how I can solve. Thank you very match.
    Grettings.

    Hello and thank you
    I am attaching a photo of what I have in the Flash folder you indicate, as a photo:
    If it not attached the link see large:http://imageshack.us/f/840/sinflashejecutat.jpg/
    And then run the Flash every day . Which I can only do so by accessing or a websit that you ask me, give OK when it asks me to activate the Active X and contiunue the process because if not, would have to install it each time since the Adobe web site.
    You run the Flash Player 10 Active X , this would be the Flash folder you see in the picture below:
    and also attached the lin for if you are not good:

  • TS1394 What can I do to install the Adobe Flash player? It seems to download, but then no save as or install options appears.

    That is my question. The Adobe Flash Player does not download and give me a screen to finish the download. Any online articles, forms, etc that I want to view-my screen goes black. Is it the Plug-ins are missing? What are plug-ins. Be nice.

    Once it's installed, be aware that it's not a standalone player - it's a browser plugin which installs in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins and is accessible to all browsers.
    And you are downloading directly from Adobe aren't you? Never trust pop-ups on websites that say you need a plug-in.

  • Is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player bad for my macbook pro? I have heard different things like it causes MBP to overheat. any truth to this?

    From research on different communities, I have read that Adobe flash player will cause my macbook to overheat, and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro? I installed it a couple hours ago and so far nothing has happened but im worried about the future.

    That might have been true for the 13" Intel HD 3000 graphics models, but the newer machines with Intel HD 4000 have a bit more kick in the CPU graphics.
    and a bunch of other rumors. is there any proof or truth that Adobe flash player is bad for my macbook pro?
    No it's not bad, it's just that the late Steve Jobs came out publicly against Flash because it couldn't run on the new low performance devices like iPads and iPhones that he was serving up.
    So a lot of young people took it as a mission to kill Flash and bad mouth it to death.
    What you do have to do, like you need to do with any browser plug-in or software, is be careful from where you install it from as there are many websites that will try to trick one into installing a fake one.
    Many people thus tricked into installing a trojan immediately blame Flash as the cause, when it's not.
    Also you have to keep it updated, but using a browser like Chrome will do it for you and Firefox will not let you run outdated web browser plugins.
    Safari also blocks outdated plugins, but Apple is very slow to issue updates so it's almost worthless.

    Please help i did the unistalling and reinstalling but still
    i can't install
    Thank you

    Do a full removal of the Flash Player, there is a removal
    tool on the Adobe web site to do this:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    Use the tool because one of the reasons that the Flash player
    doesn't work is that components of an old Flash player may have
    been left behind on your system from a previous install that are
    causing the current version not to work.
    When you have downloaded the Removal Tool, make sure that you
    close Internet Explorer and any other browser program that might be
    using Flash, then run the tool and follow the instructions.
    I'd restart the computer at this point just to be on the safe
    side as it often helps to have your computer refreshed before
    trying to reinstall Flash.
    Once you have restarted your computer, go to the Adobe web
    site and then click on the "Get Flash Player" link:
    http://www.adobe.com
    Follow the on screen instructions and Flash player should
    then install for you and begin to work.

  • Is it safe to download the Adobe Flash Player to my macbook

    Is it safe to download Adobe Flash Player to my macbook?  If so, any recomendations?

    Adobe Flash Player is listed in my system preferences in 'Other.'  I updated from there.  Is that not a good idea?
    That's perfectly okay. You just don't want to click mystery links in e-mail messages, on web sites or click buttons in unsolicited Flash update warnings. These things have been problems in the past. In all such cases, ignore it and go update Flash from Adobe's web site or through System Preferences.
    I do most of my updates from my 'Software Update."  Is that also not to be trusted?  And checking for updates in the menu of third party software?
    Those should also be fine, though don't do this sort of thing on an unknown public wireless network. Sometimes, such networks can be set up with the express purpose of getting people to join and then fooling their computers into downloading fake updates. Do your updates on known, trusted networks, such as your own home network.
    I also went to the firefox link you suggested (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ ).  It indicates that my Shockwave Flash and Java Applet Plug-in are outdated.
    Shockwave is not quite the same. You can install (or update) it separately here:
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    However, I have never had a Shockwave plugin installed on my computer. There's very little Shockwave content on the web these days. You may do better to simply uninstall it.
    Regarding Java, you MUST update it as quickly as possible! See:
    Java is vulnerable… Again?!
    If you have Java enabled in your web browser, it may be worth scanning your hard drive for malware using something like Sophos.

  • Installing the adobe flash player in windows vista home premium service pack 1

    Hi,
    I have been having some problems downloading this for over a year now even when I reinstall or reboot my pc or whatever, even change the security settings so I need your help. I found the support center which said:
    http://http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Download but then I dont even know how to locate the flash folder, where is that? How do I find it?
    then do I have to highlight 10a before right clicking it? otherwise where do I right click exactly? when you say to run the flash player installer, do you mean to just click it? Cause I did and it came on but then even after downloading or installing the uninstaller and running it then installing again, it wont work even when I do that and then reboot my pc...Is there any possibility that it cant work on my pc? How would I know?
    See...Im no tech expert so I really need your help. Please reply asap. Thanks a lotttt!!!

    Hi, well I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. We'll see what the problem may be. First to answer your question,
    the OS means operating system. Which if you are using Windows, then your OS is Vista. It could be XP or the newest one
    which is Windows7, Win7 for short. Now if someone is using a Mac, then that would be their OS.
    Now your computer and all computers can install and run Flash Player. However there are a few things that can cause a problem, so I'll list a few.
    The first thing and most important is that you must be the Administrator of your computer. If this is your computer and you set up the accounts, the first account set up would be the Administrator account. You can look at that as the "Boss"
    Now some people will set up accounts for other people but they are not Administrator accounts, they are called User or Limited accounts. They cannot be "Boss":-) There are some other things, but I'm stating it this way, so you can better understand.
    When you Install programs, like Flash Player, you have to use the Administrator account to do so.
    Don't think you are the only one having problems. We'll find out what it is and fix it.
    Since using the Administrator account is the most important, I want you to go down to where the clock it. With your mouse, right click over the time that is showing. Then when the small window opens, left click on Adjust Date/Time.
    Then post back and tell me what you saw.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb

  • Is Adobe Flash Player compatible with my Macbook Pro?

    I tried to go on Youtube but it wouldnt let me because it said I needed Adobe Flash Player but I didn't want to get it because I dont know if it will mess up my macbook.

    There most certainly is a flash player or plugin that is compatible with OS X on a Mac.
    If you aren't interested in having access to flash content - namely with YouTube, YouTube includes an HTML5 option for all video to be provided via HTML5.
