MacBook Air OS X 10.8.5 Flash problem - install not recognized?

Got notice to update flash. Downloaded & installed update this past weekend, apparently successfully. Since then, all sites that use flash have told me it's out of date and I need to download the update! (I have even re-downloaded and re-installed, no change). I use Safari browser.
Help!

Most times, the security issues are Windows related, but there are risks for Mac users too... just not as severe or frequent. Regardless, it's best to update when needed.
The "Clean Install" isn't as tough as it looks. Those steps are written precisely in the order they need to be done, and I wrote them very specifically when it came to detail. IT takes about three minutes start to finish.

  • 2009 MacBook Air 2.13GHz says "Wi-Fi: No hardware installed"

    So recently my 2009 13' MacBook Air has begun to give the No hardware installed on the WiFi. I am currently on Mavericks and have a couple extra airport cards lying around. So out of curiosity i tried to replace it with an airport card that came out of a functional unit and the no hardware installed still comes up. Is it because of a lack of drivers? Or is it the flex cable that is under the battery that connects to the board that causes this?

    Did you try resetting SMC before adding other cards.

    The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
    If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
    Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    "Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
    System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
    Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
    Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
    If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
    If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
    using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
    With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
    Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
    This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
    Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
    Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Remove any partitions you may have created.
    Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
    Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
    The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
    The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
    When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
    An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
    Do not create any user accounts.
    When it finishes, shut down the computer.
    If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
    If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
    System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
    Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
    Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
    Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

  • I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

    I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

    I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
    The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
    If I get solution, I'll post it here.
    Kind Regards

    Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

    That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
    To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
    If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. Furthermore, they will only slow down your computer. If you want more information, read > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg

  • AIR for Apple iOS Support in Flash Builder is not installed.

    I've written an application in Flash Builder and I'm now attempting to get it running on an iPad.
    I am running on a Mac (OSX 10.6.7)
    I have FB 4.5 installed and downloaded the separate 4.5.1 update file successfully updated FB to 4.5.1.
    I have downloaded and installed AIR 2.7.
    I have downloaded and installed the AIR sdk.
    I have an iOS developer account and have created my developer certificatn p12 file, created an Apple Id for my application and a provisioning profile.
    I created a new "ActionScript Mobile Project" for my application and enabled the Apple iOS platform.
    I have entered my certificate and provisioning information into FB.
    I created a "Debug Configuration" for my project.
    When I run my debug configuration, I am prompted for my Certificate Password (which I enter).
    I then receive a pop-up message with the following error:
    "AIR for Apple iOS Support in Flash Builder is not installed. To enable packaging support for Apple iOS follow these instructions."
    The link for the instructions links to the following knowledge base article:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/899/cpsid_89938.html
    I have Flash Builder as a part of the CS5.5 Web Premium (on DVD), which does not appear to have a "AIR for Apple iOS Support" option during the FB installation.
    So I followed the manual installation steps provided (although copying the described folders to my sdks/4.5.1 folder (rather than the sdks/4.5 folder).
    However, doing the above did not resolve the issue. I still get the same error message as before.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue, or have any suggestions on how to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    The order is generally as follows:
    Download the update
    Allow the update to install
    The update will force a restart of your computer
    So I suspect you are simply misreading the directions regarding the timing of the restart.

  • Can I retrieve files off my MacBook Air that has crashed (White screen flashing folder)?

    Besides a few freezes here and there, my MacBook Air has worked fine. However when I opened it the other day, It wouldn't power on. I pressed the power button a few times, and it finally powered on with a completely white screen. I powered it off and on a few times but nothing changed. I figured if I let the battery die, maybe it would work when I charged it again. I left the screen open, but after 10 min, a flashing folder with a question mark popped up, And it's been flashing ever sense. I took it to apple, they said it was a software issue. They plugged it into a g-drive to reinstall, along with other cords and got their apple account up, although none of my information showed up. They said the Mac forgot its software, and nothing of mine would show. They said I have to replace the lap top and gave me prices/options. I never got my question fully answered on if I can retrieve my photos, notes, garage band, music, etc. I left apple with out any trade. Does anyone know of any way I can get my pictures, music, voice memos, and notes, back? I'm desperate and have lots of important stuff that I can't access. I'm also losing work not having access to my computer. But I'm not trading it in until I try/or know there is no way to get my stuff back. I will pay anything to get my stuff back! I honestly would rather have my stuff then the computer. And just get a new one. Any advice will help. Thanks!

    a flashing folder with a question mark popped up,
    Can mean that your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
    Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk and restart.
    Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    If the disk is not available, then it's failing or has failed.
    If you did not backup your important files, an alternative would be data recovery but it's expensive.
