Mac OSX wont update to latest Flash Player version.

My Mac OSX intel 10.6.8 will not play Flash Player. I have followed all the instructions, including "How to Perform a Clean Install" but Flash Player does not work. I have even checked with Apple Community site and followed suggestions regarding plug-ins, etc. but still it does not work. Quite niggled  because I dont have flash player on my Mac at all now, having followed Adobe's instructions to delete original. If necessary and if possible I would download a previous version.  Using Safari v. 5.1.9. 
Before uninstalling for the umpteenth time, I was able to provide the following information (to Apple Support Community) but eventually they told me I should contact this site.

In my Macromedia folder thereare the following subfolders:   Flash Player, Security, Shared Objects, macromedia.com (underneath which s listed 'version .txt', www.macromedia.com (which contains a further sub-folder 'bin' and fpupdatepl. 
This is all mumo jumbo to me and I do not want to delete the wrong thing.

  • How to get latest flash player version from javascript code

    Hello,
    I want to know the latest flash player version number programmatically to compare with currently installed flash player version.
    I have requirement in which i need to show message to user when installed flash player version < latest flash player version.
    there is no API offlash player available which we can call to get the latest flash player version.
    We tried to do webscrapping of adobe site which prints version number but we need to do this from javascript.
    Is there any way through which we can come to know wether our installed flash player version is older than latest flash player released version?
    Please help..
    Thanks
    Dhwani

    It's in the Global Settings Manager in the Control Panel (Windows) or System Preferences (Mac), but I'm unaware of a javascript you can create to do this independent of a Flash container.
    The best you can do would be to create a web page with the expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js added to a Flash container in the page. While that won't give a detailed (installed vs new) indication, it WILL prompt for an update if the current version is higher than the installed version.
    You'd then have to add the webpage to startup items, so the end user would see it on login.

  • How do I get a user to update to the Flash Player Version to 10.1

    I would like to find out if there is a way for a message to pop up on my website if the user has Flash Player version lower than 10.1. If the version 10.1 or higher (in the future) no message should come up. The message should prompt a user to update to the Flash Player version 10.1.
    My entire site is in Flash and I am using AS3. So I am guessing I should implement an AS3 code on the first frame of the script layer. Does anyone know what would be this code?

    O.K. I see,
    HTML code is automatically generated by Flash program.
    I am unable to give you a short answer on this and thus attaching the code I

  • Please help - trojan/rootkit in my auto update of latest flash player?

    Hello
    I would be very grateful if anyone is able to advise me about what to do.
    My problem is that yesterday, after starting my computer, I was prompted to update my flash player version on startup (like is usual). I told it to do so and it opened my web browser to the following web page: https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/plugin/. Is the security certificate for this website a bit suspect or is that normal for Adobe? Legitimate site?
    From there I clicked to download the latest version and got a file with this name: install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_au_aih.exe (please note the "au" - which shouldn't be there?).
    Unfortunately, I went ahead and ran it, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, until after the installation. Straight away I was bombarded with about 20 program is not responding messages, which kept on reappearing even after I'd tried to close flashplayer down.
    This made me look into things and I've discovered a couple of things which are of concern to me:
    (1). These people are talking about how the file is a rootkit: http://www.novahq.net/forum/showthread.php?p=378847
    (2). Virustotal found a trojan when I uploaded the file: https://www.virustotal.com/file/8833e31c04dfd19fc2f80edac481119ed0f3c7251a6619d40c223557e0 c68b22/analysis/
    So.... what do I do now? I've scanned with AVG, Malwarebytes, Super Anti-adware, Trend Micro Housecall and TDSSkiller, all of which basically found nothing, apart from a locked sptd file. Apart from these scans, I have done nothing else to my computer yet, like trying to uninstall it, etc. I thought I'd best wait to hear what people have to say before taking action because I'm not sure what I should do next...
    Thank you for taking your time to read this, and again, if you can help I'd be relieved!
    Browser is the latest version of Firefox and I am running Windows 7. I apologise for any mistakes or rushed typing, I'm just trying to get this sorted, heh :/

    I have just downloaded the installer file from the link you posted; I have analyzed it, and it is free of malware.
    If your Flash Player installation is working now (check it at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html) then you don't need to do anything.
    If Flash Player is not working properly, follow these instructions:
    download the Flash Player uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and save it to disk;
    download the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it/them to disk;
    close all browser and other applications, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).

  • Issue with latest Flash Player version when replaying videos

    I am using an older version of JWplayer "5.10.2295" in a lot of sites and it was working fine so far. Since the latest version of Flash Player came out the videos can't be played a second time on any browser on Windows. It is working fine for me on Mac - quickly tested in Firefox (Nightly) and Safari (latest stable).
    Reverting to an older version showed that everything was working fine before. I tried the latest 13 and 14 from Archived Flash Player versions
    Has this kind of issue been reported already? Any change in the upcoming beta that might fix this?
    Thanks,
    Albert

  • Already have the latest Flash Player Version

    Can somebody please help me? I am trying to play a game on Facebook - a game I was able to play ONCE - about 2 weeks ago. Now when I try to play, it says I need to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player - Download Now. So I tried to download it but it won't work. Turns out I already have the latest version for my system. My operating system is Windows XP, my browser is Internet Explorer 8 and I have the Flash Player version 11.3.300.270. And my Flash Player Add-Ons are already enabled. So why does it continue to tell me to add the latest version when I already have it? BTW: I'm NOT computer savvy - I'm just following the instructions Adobe is giving me - so please if you can help me you'll need to dumb-down your reply or I'll be even more lost. LOL. Thanks!

  • Not the latest flash player version

    Every time i download the flash player from the adobe website, it always sa
    ys the version is not the latest?
    Someboby can help me?

    Hi again, thank you. Now before you try to Install Flash Player, you must run the Uninstaller to remove the old Flash Player.
    Download the Uninstaller to your Desktop: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Then Download the Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    I would suggest that you read over the Uninstall instructions before beginning and also this troubleshooting article:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us Both of these will have information if followed will help to have a clean Uninstall and
    a successful Install.
    Be sure to follow the Reboot about IE.
    If you have any questions about any of these procedures, just post back.
    After you are finished, then go to this test site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
    Then post back and I'll have you check some files to make sure everything Installed correctly.
    Thanks,

  • Flash CS5 - how to export to latest flash player version?

    Hi,
    is it possible to export swf's as the newest flash version 12, if all I have is an old (but good) Flash CS5?
    I have found this so far http://blogs.adobe.com/rgalvan/2011/11/adding-fp11-support-to-flash-pro-cs5-and-cs5-5.html, but it's only for Flash Player 11 - is there anything similar for version 12?
    If not: what would I need for creating version 12 swf's?
    Thanks, Anna

    While it might be possible to do so, is there a reason for wanting it?  Assuming Flash Player 12 is a by-product of Flash CC I would be fearful that it actually supports less functionality than previous versions much the same way that Flash CC does.  It is not likely that way, but with what they did to strip features from Flash for CC you never know what's coming next.

  • Flash Player version 10 results bad timing of TurboDemo generatred swf file

    Our flash educational presentations are working bad in the
    latest Flash Player version (10). We made them in TurboDemo, and
    generated flash file, which could be run from our website. However
    with new flash player the preset timing of page turning does not
    work. It waits much longer, than the programmed timing. In earlier
    versions everything worked well, but know it's a disaster, which
    makes our numerous educational presentation un-enjoyable. The
    videos are just waiting for nothing for long seconds from page to
    page, which ruins the smooth flow of the presentation.
    Can anybody help how can we fix this issue???
    Andras

    I doubt there's anything we can do on our side. You'll need
    to contact TurboDemo so they can test with their original source
    code and try to find the cause.
    http://www.turbodemo.com/eng/index.php
    In the meantime you'll probably need to recommend your users
    revert to Flash Player 9.
