My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date. I tried to install a new flash player version "setup.exe" but it said the file cannot be opened because the application is not supported on MAC OS X, does anyone have same problem? please help.

Can't open certain pages.

I just got an iMac and have began to use Safari. I really like it.. but oddly, I can't open certain pages that I can on other browsers. (tested this).
xbox.com - log in (or any of the Windows Live ID pages) ex: https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1342238079&rver=6.2.6 289.0&wp=MBI&wreply=https:%2F%2Flive.xbox.com:443%2Fxweb%2Flive%2Fpassport%2Fset Cookies.ashx%3Frru%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252flive.xbox.com%252fen-US%252fAccount%252 fSignin%253freturnUrl%253dhttp%25253a%25252f%25252fwww.xbox.com%25252fen-US%2525 2f&lc=1033&id=66262&cbcxt=0
OR
Any of the mlb.com gameday pages, such as ex: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_07_13_arimlb_chnmlb_1&mode=wra p
I don't know what could cause this. The iMac is brand new, and I am not running any programs/scripts.
Help?

On the xbox log in, I get redirected to the link I provided which just shows a blank white screen with the Microsoft Inc. in green at the top of the URL bar. I get redirected after going to xbox.com -> sign in (at the top right). Cannot understand why.
For mlb.com, I only load the banner in 'gameday', opposed to the reviews, previews, box score, etc.
Makes no sense because on this same Mac, Chrome and Firefox can load these pages.

I am unable to open certain pages on sites. I have to switch over to IE because the new Firefox update is not accomodated on their websites! When will this be fixed... sites included Ameritrade, FAFSA, and others...

First and foremost, you should update to 3.6.17 because the version you're running at the moment is insecure and exposes your system to attack. Update via '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
That may even fix the problem since several minor bugs were also fixed in later versions.
Similarly, after updating, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those which are necessary.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
I didn't experience a problem myself accessing any of those sites you mentioned. See screenshot.

Why can't Mac OS X open certain files?

I am running Mac OS 10.4.7
I just downloaded windows media player 9 for Mac OS X...it is on my desktop labeled as 'Windows Media.sitx'
When I go to click on it to install, it says 'Their is no default application specified to open the document Windows Media.sitx'
So I have to click Cancel or Choose Application. If I click Chose Application it just opens my Macintosh HD. I am a new user of Mac and have never run across a .sitx exension.

A downloaded file with a .sitx extension was compressed with Stuffit and you need a utility called Stuffit Expander to open these files which is no longer pre-installed on new Macs by Apple.
You can download Stuffit Expander (free) at this link.

WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue

Can someone please help me. I have contacted Mac support 3 times and no one can help me and was recommended I go onto this forum.
I keep getting a pop up on my Mac, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5 and another MacBook we have in the house. It says "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue."
I have done a bit of research and a few websites have said it is a Trojan. I have updated flash, reset safari and a heap of other things.
I am not tech savvy and just want this fixed. Someone help.
Thanks.

Hello Katie,
Apple frequently flags older versions of Flash Player as out-of-date in Safari, prompting users to upgrade to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player. The current version of Flash Player is 14.0.0.145. If you have a version prior to this, you'll need to upgrade in order to view Flash content. You can also visit this page, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, to verify the latest version of Flash Player for your OS platform.
Please note that Flash Player is not supported on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). I suspect you'll continue to get similar messaging when visiting web sites on these devices that contain Flash content.

When opening any page associated with Google (main search page, gmail, google maps, etc) the font is so tiny it is unreadable. Any other website is fine and this only happens with Mozilla. I just downloaded 3.6.12 and it's still a problem.

Mac Safari message: To view this content, you need the latest version of the Flash Player. Adobe TV

How do i get past this message?
To view this content, you need the latest version of the Flash Player. Adobe TV uses the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) to deliver a superior video experience. Please upgrade your Flash Player to version 10.2 to benefit from this technology.
I am running Mac OS X 10.10.3 with the latest Safari version 8.0.5.
I have uninstalled and removed cache and reinstalled the Flash Player 17 many times, but still get this message when i try to view a video in Adobe TV.
I have version 17 of Flash player installed but the Adobe TV is asking me to upgrade to v10.2.

Try using a different browser and/or be sure to install and enable the Flash Player plugins for your browser.

"WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of Date. Please upgrade to continue. "

I try to go on facebook, youtube, google or Yahoo, and it's opening a page with an announce: "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of Date. Please upgrade to continue. " I can click only "ok", then it opens a page of "FLASH PLAYER PRO", and it would me to download a trojan virus (avira recognized it) called "setup.exe.". I know that is a viral page that maybe is stealing the name of "Flash Player Pro ", but how is possible to stop it? The plug-in on the pc has the same name of "shockawave flash" ; I tried to: cancel cookies, changing antivirus, istalling flash player 13 from the official site, cancelling every adobe flash player of the pc. Blocking the site is unusefull because they have'nt an IP address and they steal the IP address of the site you choose. I've a Windows 7 professional 32 bit and I try with: Firefox, Chroome, Opera, Explorer. Nothing. Does anybody knows how can I stop it?
I wrote this post in "Installing flash player" because maybe is an installation problem... I don't know.
Thank you!!

There is no such thing as "Flash Player PRO". Never has been. Never will be.
What you're seeing is a result of a hack into your router.

Disable McAfee siteadvisor and check the problem still persist or not?

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

On opening google I get the message:"WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue" - on clicking ok I am diverted to Flash Player Pro download site?? Is this a Adobe product? And why even though i have the latest flash player version I repeatedly get the message?

This is not a message that Adobe is providing, and I recommend that you not click on the link. It sounds as though you might have malware on your computer.

WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date.

I keep getting this popup when using Firefox: "WARNING! your flash player may be out of date." I can tell it's phishing and I've never had this problem before. How can I get this to stop when using Firefox? It doesn't happen with IE.

Thank you jscher2000 for your help. My issues started around the time that I made a mistake, about a week or so ago. I fell for a "get free stuff for taking a survey" trick. A momentary lapse in sanity, sorry. I have tried emsisoft malware scanner, and it initially found and quarantined something called Gen%3aTrojan.Heur.Hype.luX%40aGKciof (B) - about which I could find no information.
I have since done two deep (and painfully slow) scans with emsisoft, and it now says no threats are detected. But downloader and flash update intrusions continue to happen, only in firefox, not in chrome or IE. Like fettermann, I get one of two different interruptions. I haven't taken a screen snip of the other one, sorry. I have also done the firefox reset to default, which did not help. I think uninstall and reinstall would essentially do the same and likewise not help.
I am gratefull to know the programs listed above are freeware. I will invest the time to go through them all, as soon as possible.
I do not have very many plugins, and all of them I have had for anywhere from several months to more than a year, and they hadn't caused issues before. (I pretty much think it was the survey scam.) I have seven: silverlight (for netflix), adobe flash, hulu desktop (which I never use but I think was included either in firefox or on my pc at purchase), MS Office 2010, Windows Live Photo Gallery (also a default I think), Google Update and iTunes Application Detector.
Hulu is the only one I would disable and consider unneeded. And as it's been there all along and I've never used it, not sure how it could be the source...?
I will let the forum know results after I get through the list of malware scanners.
Again, thanks very much to all for the info and advice.

I just bought an iMac and I´m a new user of Mac. I captured my data and my country is Mexico. What can i do if the final data check show España? Is it important or it doesn´t matter?

Hola & welcome to the Forums!
Have you noticed any problems, like Time zone or Time display?

The Flash update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity. They're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to well-known websites such as Google and YouTube are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert a paper clip and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set another strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.

For some weird reason now, every time I try to open a LinkedIn page it seems to get re-routed to a UPS page. Did I inadvertently trigger a script of some kind and, if so, how do I un-do it?

For some weird reason now, every time I try to open a LinkedIn page in Safari it seems to get re-routed to a UPS page. Did I inadvertently trigger a script of some kind and, if so, how do I un-do it? This happens, no matter what the LinkedIn page is.

Hi ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cacche. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Doubtful just visiting a page in within the LinkedIn site triggers a script of any kind.

My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date.
