Most Adobe updates now cause severe problems

I have used computers for many years and am well aware of their vulnerabilities.
However, due to the repeated destabilising results of Updating Adobe products on numerous computers, I will no longer update ANY Adobe product and will seek alternatives.
My latest update was to Flash Player 10. This resulted in BSODs every time on two fairly new and very stable computers.
Another reason to dislike Adobe is their insistence on Installing what THEY want on MY computer, such as AIR.
Surely there must be a more stable alternative than Adobe that allows us to watch video?
Does anyone have any advice?

Hi 123noodles,  As you can see there are many threads on the Flash Player Forum. Anyone wishing help with whatever issue regarding Flash Player always needs to provide their computer and browser info and a brief description of their issue.
I think it's best not to offer solutions before knowing what the issues are. That is called guessing, in my opinion.
If you would like help, please provide the information.
Thanks,
eidnolb

  • I downloaded an adobe update, now the stuff I download from e-mails that I want on my desktop

    I downloaded an update from Adobe. Now when I get an e-mail, like an offer or counter offer and I want it to download to my desktop, it won't do it.  It puts it somewhere else! very frustating.  All my PDF files now have changed to Adobe.  How do I put stuff back the way I had it.  I should have never downloaded the update. Shirleyw4

    What is your operating system?  What is your email client?  What is your Reader version?
    What do you want to place on your desktop, the email message, or the attachment?

  • PS Vita Firmware Update(s) causing a problem

    My brother? He's been using my account. He doesn't have one

    It's been a while since I used my Vita. I lent it to my little brother to play games on for a while. I got it back from him yesterday. There've been a good few updates since then but it seems one of them has caused a problem.
    I felt like returning to my Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days save file only to get the infamous DLC Error when booting up. I followed all the tips and tricks that were used back on the PSP but to no avail. I looked around a bit more and people were reporting this from around January time. My save file was from October 2013 so there's definitely been a lot of updates since then. One post I read said it was working fine until he updated his Vita earlier this year. I have redownloaded and installed the game and all it's DLC a couple of times and also tried formatting my memory card after backing up my data. Even if I start a new game, the DLC cannot be found. Any help would be great, but I don't know if that would work. It seems that only someone official looking into this problem and seeing if they can find a solution is the only answer. Also, I have no idea if this is affecting any other games at this moment. Honestly I had no idea where to post this thread. I thought due to it looking like an update may have caused this that it may be best here. If not then I apologise. I'd also like to know how I can get in touch with anybody who could look into this if it's no good posting here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

  • Latest software update (I think 10.5.6) caused several problems

    So here's what happened:
    - I ran Apple Software Update and restarted
    - After restart, there was some sort of error that I think was regarding the "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update" (2.4) update. I re-ran Software Update and restarted again.
    - My Mac went right into a kernel panic, so I restarted, and it panicked again.
    - Restarted in safe mode.
    - I get this error when booting into safe mode: "The application activeSettings quit unexpectedly"
    - When I go to "about this mac", it says I'm running 10.5.6, however when I look at "Software Update.log", 10.5.6 isn't listed. Also, when I run Software Update again it says I am up to date. The last 3 lines in the log are:
    2008-12-02 09:57:49 -0500: Installed "Safari" (3.2.1)
    2008-12-02 09:57:58 -0500: Installed "QuickTime H.264 Compatibility Update" (7.5.5)
    2008-12-23 19:08:48 -0500: Installed "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update" (2.4)
    After some Googling and reading this form, it seems like I am also having 10.5.6 issues. I was attempting to run the 10.5.6 combo update here, found here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate but my Mac does the same kind of kernel panic whenever it starts to mount the disk, and I have to boot back up into safe mode.
    I would greatly appreciate any guidance you guys could give me. For now, I'm going to try and run that update again.

    According to the "WHAT'S NEW" section in the MacUpdate NuFile Download page, an updated version fixes a bug in which "NuFile causes finder's open with to crash." From the comments section, it seems there are still crashing problems, even with the updated version. Thus, I would suspect this pref pane as a cause of your problem.
    FWIW, I have Perian installed & it has created no problems for me.
    In any event, you should make sure you have the latest version of these & any other similar items installed, or disable all of them, do the combo update, & then add them back one or a few at a time to see which if any are not compatible with the updated OS.

  • Last update now causing a script to run endlessly, how do I fit the problem?

    The WIN XP machine I'm running is chugging along trying to finish loading the last FireFox update. It is slowing the browser down. I have tried to restart but the same thing happens.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • TS1630 Latest update has caused multiple problems

    Since doing the latest update my phone does the following
    loses signal constantly
    Cuts calls off
    I can call people and they can't hear me then on the next call its fine
    It won't connect to the Internet at times
    The battery dies within a few hours then other times its fine
    Any ideas ??

    I can't offer any help I'm afraid but I'm also having problems. Now using 8.1.1.10 and I've found that iTunes will not burn CDs (it cancels the operation) and playback now jumps like a damaged record.

  • Fake Adobe update, now I have a virus

    Menu popped up to update Adobe player. Not paying attention I clicked on it, now I have a virus that sometimes interfere with all kinds of actions.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • The latest OS update now causes my external keyboard to crash the system?

    I use my late 2008 MacBook Pro 15" as a desktop.  I have it on a stand and use a Magic Trackpad and was using an iHome external keyboard with a built in iPod dock.  I downloaded the latest software update for 10.6.8 this morning and when i restarted my computer a bunch of code displayed on the screen and a window saying "You have to restart your computer" in 4 different languages appeared.  I restarted the computer 3 times and the same thing occured.  It wasn't until a disconnected all the peripherals and restarted that the OS would reload and then realized that it was the iHome keyboard that was causing the OS to crash.  
    Any suggestions?

    This has been reported before. The driver for that device is incompatible with 10.6.8. Contact the vendor for an update.

  • Updated with most recent update now my apps close imediately when i open them, anyone know what to do?

    .

    Yes, I purchased the upgrade through the apple website, downloaded successfully.  When I clicked on the iphoto icon, that's when I got the prompt that said I needed to prepare my library using the library upgrader.  I got this from apple website as well.  It downloaded, then appeared on my desktop screen as a 'library upgrader'    I don't know what to do next?  When I click it, it just keeps repeating the download process.
