Safari Tells Me I Need to Update Flash Even Though I Just Did

Safari and Firefox were both telling me while using YouTube that I needed to upgrade my version of Flash. So I upgraded and now Firefox no longer gives me the upgrade message, but Safari still gives me the following message: "Upgrade to the latest Flash Player for improved playback performance. Upgrade now ormore info."
The part that looks empty says "Upgrade now or more info" with two links in the original. (I tried changing the font color to make them visible but obviously it didn't work.

Actually I just clicked the little x at the side of the message and it disappeared and doesn't reappear when I leave and return to YouTube. I guess we'll see when I reboot Safari if it's gone for good nor not. :-P

Website insists I need to update my PDF reader even though I just did it

I'm trying to download some documentation from the Canada Consulate to ask for my visa and it says I need to update my acrobat reader. I click on the link, download the exe and try to install and it states that I ALREADY HAVE IT INSTALLED. When I try to download the documentation again, it still says I need to install it.
What do I do??? I need to download these!

Don't try to view these documents in a browser like Chrome or FireFox because they don't use Adobe Reader. Instead, just save the file to your desktop and open it from there.

HT1222 My iPhone 5 keeps saying I don't have enough storage to update software even though I just purchased 15GB of storage. Can anybody please explain this to me? I'm really not tech savvy AT ALL so I don't have a clue what to do :(

My iPhone keeps telling me I don't have enough space to update my software. But I just bought 15GB of storage, of which 11.7GB is free! So I don't understand. Can anybody please help me? I'm really bad with technology so I don't have a clue.

Hi Caroline,
The storage issue you are having is not related to iCloud. The error is telling you that you do not have enough room on your device itself. You need to go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the Storage section at the top, it lists all of your apps and other things taking up room on your device.
You will have to delete or reduce the size of items on this list in order to free up some room for your update.
Also, you may want to try the update by hooking up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with. It does not require as much free memory to update via iTunes as it does OTA.
Cheers,
GB

I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

HT201232 My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

Can't update the flashplayer becasue it states I need to close firefox? Not sure why, I have an updated version of flashplayer but when I go in through firefox it tells me I need to update it, but won't because I am in firefox.

You must close Firefox to install the update after it is saved to your hard drive. Follow the instructions below.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash. Both must be installed and updated on Windows systems. In Firefox it would show as Shockwave Flash in your plug-ins, if you had it installed.
*an ActiveX version for IE only
*a plug-in version for Firefox and most other browsers
#'''Install or Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
#*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
#*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
#*After download is complete, exit Firefox
#*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
#**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
#*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
#*'''Download and information''': http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#**Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
#**Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX

Why does my webpage tell me I need to update??

I am quite new to flash. I am using the CS4 version. I have added a swf into my website with all the relevant Javascript, etc....and when I upload it and view in browser, it doasn't show.. add tells me I need to update my flash player to view it.
Have 10.1..... as far as I know is the latest version... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??
Please can someone help me?

Hi, thanks. Just had an electrical outage, back on now. What I would check first is using FF, find the plug-in SWF vs 10.1.53.64 and make sure it is Enabled.
If you have Installed Flash Player in IE, then I can have you check for the Shockwave Flash Object in the add ons and make sure it is Enabled as well. I can give you better directions to find that, just let me know.
Also, to confirm the Flash Player files, go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files listed there. The NPSWF needs a right click and then click on Properties in order to obtain the version number.
Thanks,

HT4623 I just bought an ipad form a friend. It says its up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but when I try to download apps it tells me I need to update to iOS 6.0 or newer but it wont let me

My friend just sold me her ipad she got Jan 2013. The software says its up to date with iOS5.1.1, but when i try to download certain app it tells me I need to update to iOS6.0 or later but when i go to the setting there are no updates. so how do I add these apps? The person i bought it from doesnt know what generation becuase it was a present to her.

The way you download older apps for the older, original iPad 1, as I understand it, is if you have iTunes installed on a computer, you purchase / download the new, current app, in the iOS App Store in iTunes on your computer. Then, go back to your iPad and go to the App Store app on your iPad and find the same app there and download it.
When You select app to update/download, a message pop-up window appears asking if you want to download the last compatible version for your device (if one still exists ) tap OK and that should be it.

    Is the box next to "Enable plug-ins" checked?
Best.

The latest update (right now, 6.0.1) will be applied.

Yesterday I worked on spreadsheets in the 3.0 version, today I open up numbers and it tells me I need to update. When I look in "about numbers" it tells me I have version 09...I went to the app store, it says the new version is installed on my Mac.

Hi nuvest,
Numbers 3.0.1 lives in your Applications folder. Numbers '09 lives in a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder. You can drag each icon to your Dock. They will become Aliases. Right click (or control click) on each Alias in turn and Options > Keep in Dock. Then you can choose which one to launch.
Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) is on the left, three column chart. Numbers '13 (Numbers 3.0.1) is on the right, four column chart.
Both versions will run side-by-side. Just be sure which version has your document open before you save.
In Numbers 3.0.1 you can convert "backwards" to Numbers 2 with File> Export > Numbers '09...
Regards,
Ian.

I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash Player and then was given link to do so.

I was informed via Secunia that I needed to update Flash player and then downloaded the new version. After going into Adobe to see if I was installed correctly I found that the program was installed and I had the new version 10.0.45.2.   When I try to play a game that I have been playing for months, I get the message that I need Flash Player version 8 or above.   What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do now?

Thanks for your response.
Now I think I might have it but one thing confuses me.   Will mention it at the end.
Using IE
Going into Tools, Add Ons

8. Uninstall_plugin.exe
What confuses me is that most of not all of the dates say 1/26/10. Doesn't give a date of yesterday when I did Flash Player for Firefox. Is that normal?
Bottom line -- I can now do the games in Firefox that I haven't been able to play since I installed Firefox. Wouldn't let me play some other video files as well.
I am still unable to do slow scrolling in e-mail or other webpages when I make the page full screen. that is only in Comcast and not AOL. It must be a Comcast problem so will have to get in touch with them.
Let me know if all my files in Flash are okay.
Barbara
