Should I install Adobe Flash on my MacBook Air?

Kind of afraid to install Adobe Flash on my new MacBook Air after the initial press regarding decreased battery life? Is there an optimized version for the Air? What are the Pros & Cons?

The latest 10.3 version of Flash works OK.  Although it is less resource intensive you will still experience shortened battery life when watching Flash videos, but not as bad as older versions.  You will find it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it. 

    You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.

  • Should i install adobe flash player on macbook pro with OSX

    Just purchased my first macbook pro, I am thinking of installing Adobe Flash Player but wasnt sure if this is good idea or not. Any suggestions?

    Sure - most of the content on YouTube - and much of the video content on the web - uses Flash technology.
    Just make certain that you get it straight from Adobe -> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
    Happy computing!

  • Difficulty installing adobe flash player on macbook air os yosemite

    Hi.
    I recently bought a Macbook Air, which runs OS Yosemite, and I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player on it. I got to the part where it is installing, and then it says "Please close Safari". I did that, then clicked "Retry". It still said "Please close Safari". I waited a few minutes, and then clicked "Retry" again. Same result. Can anyone help me?

    Could you first try the steps outlined in this FAQ:

    If that doesn't help, please try this installer:

  • Should i install adobe flash player?

    Should i install Adobe Flash Player. My youtube is requesting flash player.
    Thanks

    You should have no problem as long as you download it from www.adobe.com.
    Other site that you can download from may have loaded a bunch of adware to the Flash Player that can be a royal pain you know where.

    Should I install Adobe Flash on my Apple products?

    It depends on what you do online. If you routinely view pages wth video, it is still hard not to have Flash.
    If you decide to install it, be careful of where you get it. There are malware version out there. I will ONLY install flash form this site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that iOS devices do not support Flash. Mac computers do.

  • I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and still cannot read my .pdf files. Disappointed!

    I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and .pdf files still cannot be displayed after I double click on them.

    If by that you mean Preview is still opening the files Control Click and HOLD on a .pdf file you'll see Open With (at the bottom) Other Dialogue box. - mouse over to it and before you choose Acrobat click Always Open With in the checkbox.

  • Should I install Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Air?

    Hello everyone
    I was wondering if I should install Adobe Flash Player.
    I watch YouTube a lot and use Safari 7.0.5 as my web browser of choice.
    I don't usually play many online games though.
    However, there are some sites I use that require Adobe Flash Player.
    Thanks for all the recommendations

    personally NO, unless you are using something that demands it.
    aside the spat between adobe and apple, it does grind and hog the processor to death - hence why apple decided not to 'support' it.
    -just take a look in activity monitor once it starts up.
    It (can) also leave vunerabliites to virus 'type' infections;
    IF you do indeed decide to load it up, be VERY carefull where you get it from, and ignore ANY POP UP message about updates etc -
    *ALWAYS* ONLY go Direct to the adobe flash site, never, never any other 3rd party site. both for install and updates.

    I am trying to install adobe flash player on a brand new Mac book Pro but it isn't downloading.

    Or here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Note that either link will get you a .dmg file downloaded onto your Mac. Double click to open. Inside is the installer program itself, which you must run and follow its instructions to complete the Flash installation.
