Prompted by Firefox, I've installed the latest Adobe Flash Player.
But I was infuriated by how Adobe automatically installed Chrome on my PC without even asking.
This is atrocious practice on the part of Adobe but I couldn't see anyway to complain to them directly so I thought that perhaps Mozilla could pass on the intense irritation of this and probably many other Firefox users to Adobe.
John

Thank you for pointing that out.
I've always found that installation options are usually presented during the actual installation of the software, rather than when it is downloaded. I'm going to have to be much more careful in future!
(I still think it verges on sharp practice on the part of Adobe but I suppose they receive a fee from Google for this.)
Once again - many thanks for your responses.
John

It is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Exactly where did you download Flash from, if you did not download it from
http://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/
you did not get an authorized version.
If you did and it still does not work then you should be in touch with one of the Flash Player or Adobe help forums, because it's an Adobe product they would know best how to troubleshoot issues.

Hi Peter,

After downloading the latest flash player as requested, I still cannot see videos on websites.

I have been trying to watch videos on some websites and I have downloaded the latest version of flash player as requested and I still cannot watch the videos...I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of flashplayer.

Thanks for posting back. If disabling hardware acceleration resolves the problem, you might be able to update your video drivers and re-enable it for better performance.

1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe site.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first. Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

I keep getting reminder that I need to download the latest Flash Player after every email that I open or close. I have downloaded several times the update and it tells me that I already have this program do you want to replace it. So what is going on?

HT1444 Hotmail has been converted to Outlook and now my 10.6.8 version of Snow Leopard doesn't seem to be compatible with Outlook. I can only access Outlook through the mobile option. I have downloaded the latest update for SL but that doesn't seem to hav

Since Hotmail was converted to Outlook I can only access through the Mobile option. I keep getting a message suggesting I upgrade to the latest version of Safari. I tried downloading the most recent upgrade that I could find but the problem is still not solved. How do I fix this very annoying situation?

No problem here on 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.9 - is that the version of Safari you have? If not you can download it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1569
or you could try Firefox - make sure you have the latest version of that (21.0)

Firefox 4.0 The menus flash like a keyboard key is held down. Can't access them even with all plugins turned off. Same issue on multiple machines with different versions of Windows. How can this be resolved?

FF 4.0. The menus flash like a key is being held down making them inaccessible. The problem persists with all plugin's turned off. Firefox box in top left corner not showing. The old FF logo show there instead.

Turning off hardware acceleration worked in all cases.
With hardware acceleration enabled the menu flashing did not occur on the primary display, only the secondary display of a two-monitor system.

I recently downloaded the latest itunes 64 bit but it refuses to install. It keeps on rolling back install when its almost done. pls help

I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure a way out of this fix! I installed the latest itunes 64bit software to enable a seamless operation with my ipad but it keeps refusing to recognise my ipad. I uninstalled it and downloaded a new version only for it to refuse to even install! what do i do now?!

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

After downloading the latest osx update I find that my speech alerts only work on things that need attention but won't work when I get mail. I am using Gmail and it was ok before I updated, has anyone else had this problem ?

After downloading the last OS X update ,I can no longer get the speech to work in my gmail account to tell me I have mail
It will alert me to anything that needs attention except mail
any ideas would be appreciated

The last OS update for SL was OS 10.6.8. If that's the case you posted in the wrong forums. You should be posting in the SL forums.
If you are using Mail for your Gmail account, did you check the sound settings in Mail Preferences? Please detail what you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the "been there done that" scenarios.
