Re: new tip on Flash Player

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2465078 notes that the 10.6.4 update includes an older Flash Player version. However, do note that if one has already installed the 10.1 version, the updater leaves it in place. The tip, which BTW doesn't show up in the Library at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=599 needs to include this information.

baltwo,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we have been trying to put new tips in the Forums they relate to in hopes they get more exposure and use. Since this tip specifically relates to Mac OS X 10.6.4 it was placed in the Using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Forum with a link to it in the header.
CodLBi, how does the updated tip look for you?

How do i download a newer version of Flash player. I have tried 10 times, it says complete..however

How do I download a new version of flash player. I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete. However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it???????? Thank you

Hello,
I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up!
I've followed all the instructions on this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
and this page:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
and this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
and still nothing.
It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

Hey,
After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?
- Dan

Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope that helps,

Should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player ?

should I recompile my swf at every new version of flash player to benefit of any new optimization bugs and new features ? I saw that the version of flash player will increase every 3 months.
is CC is able to offer publish settings with every 3 months new version ?
thanks

Its simple: any advanced feature that would improve the performance has to be adressed by the code you write to be useful.
So say in Flash 12 Adobe Introduces Stage4D, simply publishing your existing Flash 11 work that uses Stage3D will not use the Stage4D Features present in Flash 12,
you would have very likely to rewrite some of your code to profit from the benefits.
So recompiling on its own, will do nothing useful for you.

New vulnerability in Flash Player?

I have received an email from ParetoLogic, whose security product I use on my PC, telling me that "Adobe has announced a vulnerability in its Flash Player and has issued a security update". It recommends that I update Flash as soon as possible. Can someone tell me if this is correct, or is it just ParetoLogic asking me to update for no reason? Thank you.

Hello,
Yes, as Xarvo indicates, we released a new version of Flash Player this morning. If you'd like to upgrade Flash Player, you can do so at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, or use the direct links below to download the installers:
Windows: Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Windows: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Mac: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Does the email you received contain links to download Flash Player? If so, can you post the contents of the email, including the download links?
Thank you in advance.

Can't get new version of Flash Player to work.

Both the NY Times and Slate sites (this is today, though this started with the Times two days ago and I didn't get to it until today) indicated I needed to update the player. Did so from links on both sites, the download and install shows as successful, but no good on getting anything to work and as far as the sites are concerned the new version isn't installed as I'm still being told to install it. Went to Adobe site directly to install it, that didn't work. Checked through the troubleshooting site and did all that I was told to do there, went into Tools, made sure scripting was enabled as was Java script and both were, I didn't need to change anything. After downloads closed and reopened browser (IE right before 9, OS Win 7 64-bit), no good, then re-started computer, at least twice (at this point I've lost count) and also no good. Noticed someone else's post indicating problems with YouTube videos and I have that, too. I go to some videos and for a very brief flash of time I see a red banner at the top of the video, barely there long enough for me to read, telling me something about Flash Player. This was never an issue before the download so I have no clue what's going on here.
Help.

The new versions of Flash Player for Android are still not in the Archive page!

I feel like something is missing in the Flash Player Archive page. Yesterday, I read that the new Flash Player version for Android 2.x/3.x is now version 11.1.111.73, and that the new Flash Player version for Android 4.x is now 11.1.115.81, but instead, all I see are previous versions of Flash Player for Android 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x! When will the newest Flash Player versions for Android be available to the archive page? Here's a link for the Archive Page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Ok, we're fixing it and it should be resolved by tomorrow. Please let me know if you can't find it by tomorrow evening.
Thanks again for letting us know!

When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player. iMac + OS Mavericks. I have tried it many times. Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer. Aggro+++++++

OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too. So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player. It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
Good to know it was not Adobe…….
Thank you,

Do New Versions of Flash Player Overwrite Old Versions?

When I install a new version of Adobe Flash Player does the old version automatically delete itself? I have limited hard drive storage space and I am concerned that the approximately 17MB per version will compound to take up a sizeable amount of space if the old versions are not automatically being removed from my hard drive. If the old version is not being automatically removed, how do I remove it manually?
Thanks!

Mike,
So I went with your advice and purchased Elements, it seems perfect for what I need. I am starting to transfer all of my pictures from my old computers into Elements Organizer. My preference is to store all of my photos on an external hard drive to save the space on my computer's internal memory and simply have Organizer know that the external hard drive is where to find photos. I've encountered a problem and am wondering if you have any guidance:
I have gone into Elements Organizer's Preferences, and under Files I have chosen the Folder for Saved Files to be my external hard drive. However, when I Import new photos into Organizer, the program is not copying them to my chosen destination (the external hard drive). This is especially strange because when I import new photos, the checkbox for Copy FIles on Import is selected, telling me that the files should be copied to my chosen Folder for Saved Files upon import. When I import a photo and then look at that photos Location, it remains in the original file location and not in my chosen Folder for Saved Files on the new external hard drive.
I'm not sure if this gives you enough information to help me along, but if it does I would appreciate you telling me what I am doing wrong, and what I need to do such that when I import a new photo it is stored on my external hard drive.
Thanks!

way that i can make it. pls help me thnx......

Hi,
in my knowledge*.fla-files are uncompiled flash movies, ie flash-player (one of browsers plugin) cannot "understand" them. To get a flash movie in the right format you should compile/convert it (*. swf e.g).

New Version of Flash Player Won't Install Properly

Cannot install new version of Adobe Flash Player. Windows 7, 32 Bit. I use Firefox. Firefox is updated. Old version was working fine. Tried to install new because old one was slow and I received prompts to update. Uninstalled old one. Now, I cannot watch anything because every time I try to install the new version, I keep getting a message saying that I cannot install more than one instance of it, and that it is already open. It is not. I am confused. How do I fix this. Yes, plug-ins are allowed. I tried to connect to the part that said to try for a different computer, and chose Windows and Firefox. Still, the same problem. Please help, I am on the verge of tears.

Never mind, I chose this option:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
It finally allowed me to install. It is working. Adobe, I am disappointed that this update was so frustrating to install. Shame on you.

Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
- Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
- Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
Please post back with your results.

Help with downloading new version of flash player not accepting password

I am having trouble downloading the new flash player version. Adobe is not excepting my password even with changing it several times. Need help with downloading the new version.

It's NOT an Adobe password. It's your Operating System (admin) password.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
