Old version of Flash in Chrome on Mac

I'm using a Macintosh running Mavericks (10.9.5), Chrome 38.0.2125.122, and according to adobe.com, I have Flash version 15,0,0,223 in Chrome and should have version 15.0.0.242. It sounds like my system is quite a bit behind on Flash versions. I just got back from a cruise where I had very limited internet connectivity -- don't know if that contributed to the problem. I don't remember ever installing any special version of Flash, and don't see any Flash related extensions.

I tried trashing the google chrome.app from the Macintosh, emptied the trash, and reinstalled google chrome from a download. I see exactly the same thing - same bookmarks, same extensions and -- most importantly, adobe.com still says Flash reader is at version 15.0.0.223; any idea of what's going on?

  • How can I download an old version of Flash?

    The newest version of Flash broke my billing system back
    office. The developers of this billing system are based overseas
    and are extremely unreliable so I cannot depend on them to fix this
    in a timely manner. It could be 2 days or 2 months. I just don't
    know.
    In other words, the newest version of flash broke the program
    I need to do my job. I need to rollback to a previous version as
    soon as possible.
    I found a file on this forum called "fp9_archive.zip" which
    contains old versions of flash. However, everytime I try to install
    any version besides 9r124. I get this error:
    "MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash®
    Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
    current version.
    Please visit

    to obtain the latest, most secure version."
    Please help me! I am not a developer or an IT guy. I am just
    an accountant who foolishly clicked "update flash" when I was
    spammed to update it. Now I am banging my head against the wall
    because there are no clear and concise directions on how to roll it
    back.

    Jason,
    I am no expert but I was looking to solve a problem I have
    and I ran accross information that may help you.
    How to get previous versions of Flash Player (Note: Adobe
    supports and recommends the latest Flash Player.)
    If you are a Flash developer and require a previous version
    of Flash Player for testing detection schemes, refer to "Archived
    Flash Players available for testing purposes" (
    TechNote
    tn_14266).
    Adobe has made these archived players available for download
    at the request of the Flash developer community. Adobe Technical
    Support does not provide support for the installation or use of
    these old players. These are not intended for general use.
    The following may help you solve your problem.
    Error while installing older version: The version of Adobe Flash
    Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
    current version
    If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
    for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
    earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
    9,0,115,0, and attempted to install version 9,0,47,0 the
    installation would fail. In this case follow the instructions in
    "Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash Player"
    TechNote
    kb402435).
    Here is more information I found about unistalling that may help
    you.
    But I would try TechNote kb402435 above first because it
    looks like it is directly related to your problem.
    Uninstall all previous versions.
    Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser,
    uninstall all previous versions. For instructions on removing the
    player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in
    and ActiveX control" (
    TechNote
    14157).
    Note: All applications must be closed before you run the
    Flash Player uninstaller. Quit all running applications, including
    all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, and all Instant
    Messenger clients. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications which might possibly use Flash Player are
    still in memory.
    Good luck.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Are old versions of flash player available?

  • Hosting old versions of Flash Player

    Is there any official word about hosting old versions of flash player?  I have a large number of .swf files that were created using Articulate Presenter 5.4 which converted them from powerpoint files.  Under the latest version of Flash player they don't play.  When using the beta version up on labs most work, but a few with box/circle in animations don't.  The only solution that doesn't break any .swf files is downgrading to 10.0.42.34.  This is totally an Articulate issue and I am talking with them about a fix; I just thought it prudent to provide some background to my question.  I am aware of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html but it is a little ridiculous to ask them to download 157 MB to get the 1.83/1.86 MB file they need.  I'd like to host the older version so that people having a problem can choose to download it, but I am not sure as to Adobe's stance on this issue, so if anyone out there can fill me in/point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

  • Old versions of flash installed with Photoshop

    It is not clear to me if this is the correct place to post this question, but I hope this is a better place than in the forum on flash in web browsers.  If anyone can suggest a better place to post this, please let me know.
    I have kept the copy of flash that I use with Firefox up to date; it is now at 10.0.22.87 and is correctly (I believe) installed in c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash.
    The other day I installed a recently purchased copy of Photoshop CS4 and then ran the updates that were offered for that.
    I use the excellent Secunia Personal Software Inspector (secunia.com) to tell me when I have insecure out of date software installed and it now tells me that I  have older copies of flash components as follows:
    - in d:\program files\adobe\adobe extension manager CS4\ I have NPSWF32.dll v 9.0.124.0
    - in the ...\adobe\adobe device central\required\opera\program\plugins I have v 9.0.115.0 of the same dll  (and I do nt use Opera!)
    - and in ...\adobe\adobe bridge CS4\browser\plugins\ I have the same dll at level 9.0.124.0.
    Given that some of the Flash updates were to fix security holes, why do I now find myself with newly installed out of date flash components?
    I have tried running the flash removal and reinstall tool from the Adobe website but that did not touch the out of date copies in the Photoshop folders.
    Why do I have to have multiple copies of Flash on my system?  One should be enough and it would be easier to keep up to date.
    How do I update these old copies of Flash?    I am wary of just deleting the old copies.... There probably lies trouble!

    The way I always used to get old versions of the installer was to download from the link corresponding to the release I wanted.  All of these links appear to now point to the same version.  Here are the links for the Netscape compatible and ActiveX installers under each of the three listed versions (clearly all pointing to the same file)...

  • Even after update and several boots, my icon on desktop still leads to old version on Firefox. I use Mac OS 10.6.8.

    I have updated Firefox in Mac os 10.6.8. severa times now. But in desktop and dock the icon still leads to old version, 3.6.24. Only if I select Firefox from programs-folder, the newest version appears. How can make the shortcuts use the updated version?

  • Installing an old version of Flash on a Macbook Air

    Hi, I have an old 10.6GHz Macbook Air which I need to install Adobe Flash onto. The newest version requires a 10.83GHz processor or faster. Is it possible to download an older version of Flash that will be compatible with my slower processor?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I'm thinking you have a few typos.  Do you mean 1.6GHz and 1.83GHz, instead of 10.6GHz and 10.83GHz?  Either way, the latest version of Flash Player will work fine on 1.6GHz. The tech specs list the specs for optimal performance, but if your system is a bit lower than what's listed, it should still work fine.

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.

  • For security reason, do we have to uninstall old version of Flash Player ?

    Hello,
    I actually want to deploy the last version of Flash Player (plugin and activex) on my computer network.
    After installing the latest version (v10.1), I have seen that my old .ocx files where deleted automatically from the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash" but one file remains Flash10e.ocx (and I have the latest version too Flash10h.ocx).
    In my logfile, I have this :
    Delete ....
    Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10.exe"
    Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10a.exe"
    End Call Uninstallers
    File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="Flash10e.ocx"
    File: wrote 3981080 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx"
    IfFileExists: file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx" exists, jumping 352
    File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="FlashUtil10e.exe"
    File: wrote 256280 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10e.exe"
    End Main Section
    Is is normal that I am still having the Flash10e.ocx ? Was it because my browser was opened during the silent installation of Flash ?
    Thanks !

    Hi,
    thanks for your answer.
    It's quite difficult to deploy the new version of Flash or 5000 computers with this method .
    It's quite difficult to force users to close their browser each time I would like to update an Adobe product (moreover, not every users are online during the deployment etc...).
    I have updated my Adobe Flash while IE was opened and it seems to work (except the fact that I have one another .ocx file that I dont want).
    Thanks

  • Old versions of Flash debug player on site

  • How on earth can I download the newest version of Flash Player on my Mac, OS X Yosemite?

    I have tried approximately 17 times to download Flash, but keep getting stuck at the login page. When I log in to Adobe.com using my ID and password, i'm able to sign in.

  • How do I remove an old version of Flash from addons after updating?

    I recently updated from Firefox 5.0 after a long period of not-updating to Firefox 22.0, and immediately had to update Flash (which I also hadn't updated in awhile as in FF5.0 updating past 11.2.202.235 borked Youtube). However, now I have two different listings in the Add-ons Manager for Flash, one for 11.8.800.94 and another, flagged as 'Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated', for 11.2.202.235. I tried manually disabling it, but the next time I opened Firefox they were both disabled. Also, I'm having issues with Youtube videos stuttering and chugging (although, oddly, with no apparent drops in framerate) in Firefox after updating, that don't happen in Chrome, and I'm wondering if somehow thiis might be the cause?
    So I was wondering, is there a way to remove the 'old' Flash from Firefox? I already checked add/remove programs and there is only one Flash 11 there, at the date it was updated.

    Yes this is caused by a flash install problem, try removing it from the control panel (Both) and try again.
