Unable to update - "Account possibly compromised"

When I try to update Flash Player I get a message screen saying my account may have been compromised in a recent security leak. But until the day before yesterday , I didn't even HAVE an account with Adobe. I only ended up creating one so I could come on here and ask for help. So how can I now update my Flash Player if Adobe won't let me?

You don't need an Adobe account to download or install:
Adobe AIR
Adobe Reader
Flash Player
Shockwave
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links and selecting "Save target as" or "Save Link as", depending on your browser.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Close your browser and you can run the installer to update.

  • Unable to access account (possible hijacking?)

    A few days ago I was unable to access my main skype account. The password recovery system straight up does not work, saying my email has no account associated with it. When I tried making a new account with that email, though, it said the email was already in use.
    No amount of password recovery will help me with my issue, as it's just stuck in a robot loop. If I could talk to a human being about this, maybe I could get my account back. Please help.

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
    Please Advise......

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

  • HT1338 is the garageband, iPhoto,iMovie update free, as I have purchase mac book pro last december, I am unable to update it says "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it

    is the garageband, iPhoto,iMovie update free, as I have purchase mac book pro last december, I am unable to update it from app store. When I try to do so it says "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it"
    I have apple ID but after signing into that account too, it does't allow to update. None of the updates for these application are show in software update of late, but it flashes in the dock where app store is . Kindly suggest.

    Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

  • I have iphoto on my apple airwave. It is needing upated, but I am unable to update due to my exhusband. It was purchased under his itunes account. I can no longer even see my pics. What do I do.

    I have iphoto on my apple airwave. It is needing upated, but I am unable to update due to my exhusband. It was purchased under his itunes account. I can no longer even see my pics. What do I do.

    Can I back up my iPhoto library without being able to get into it? Such a mess.
    Just try what LarryHN recommended. Move the iPhoto application from the Applications folder to the Trash, then go the main page of the App Store, sign into the store menu with your AppleID, enter iPhoto into the Search Field.  When iPhoto is found in the store, look, if you can buy it for free. Probably there will be a "Get" button beside the application. Then you can install it for free.
    Before you run the newly installed iPhoto, make sure you have a backup.  You should really not risk to run a new iPhoto version on your iPhoto library, before you copied the iPhoto Library to a different drive.
    iPhoto needs to convert the library to a different format, and that can go wrong in rare cases, but it happens. You simply need to have a copy of your library before you risk the library upgrade.

  • "Unable to update, log in with account that purchased app"

    Hi
    I get this error: "Unable to update, log in with account that purchased app" more or less, when trying to update apps on my other macbook pro. I *am* logged in with the account that purchased the apps; I ONLY purchase apps from apple's app store (iOS and MacOS) with one account and one set of banking details. I *do not* have more than one account with apple AT ALL.
    Please can someone at apple remedy this bug?
    It seem related to the fact that I upgraded the hard disk on the machine that is complaining; it seems to no longer recognise the machine in question. It allows me to purchase and install new apps, but NOT upgrade/update.

    Ok, here's the latest update on this problem.
    I tried to open an app that had been downloaded and I tried to do an in-app purchase (specifically, the FreeMemory app upgrade). Since it was a new hard disk, the computer asked me to authenticate the app against the app store; in other words, the anti-piracy thing kicked in. Then, when I gave my MAS password, the MAS asked me to verify my billing details. Thereafter, it allowed me not only to run the app and do the in-app purchase, BUT it stopped complaining about updates not being permitted with this account.
    So maybe this is a bug Apple needs to pay attention to: viz., if the hard disk is new and you think the app store details are faked, ask the user to verify billing details straight away rather than leaving them in the dark as to why they think they're logged in, but they're not authenticated fully, and wondering why they can't update.
    I will monitor the situation, and if any further problems come up, I will report them here, but for now, this seems to have fixed it.

  • I am unable to update my credit card is there a way to have my account reset

    I am unable to update my credit card is there a way to have my account reset

    Yes there is!
    Despite its flashy features and not being a standard beige box, Apple's iPad is a computer just like a laptop or desktop. And, just like laptops and desktops, sometimes iPad apps freeze, and the iPad gets stuck along with them. To fix this, you need to reset the iPad.
    Begin by pressing the hold and home buttons at the same time. The hold button is the one on the top right corner of the iPad. The home button is the round one at the bottom center of the iPad's front
    Continue to hold these buttons until one of two things happen: either the screen will flash and go dark, or a red slider will appear at the top of the screen
    If the slider appears, you can slide it to the right to turn off the iPad (or tap the cancel button if you change your mind)
    When the iPad's screen goes dark, the iPad is off
    Restart the iPad by holding down the Hold button until the Apple icon appears. Let go of the buttons and the iPad reset will be complete.
    Resetting the iPad shouldn't normally cause you to lose and data or settings.
      These instructions apply to the following iPad

    You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.

  • I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there.  Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

    If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
    Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?

  • Unable to update my Adobe account.

    I just bought Bamboo Create tablet and trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0. I have created an Adobe account and the software states that they have identified my account and I'm just a few steps away from enjoying the program. It asks for my birthday and a personal URL. I fill out both fields, but when I go to click Update Account, I receive the message, "An error has occured, and your changed were not saved."
    I cannot go beyond this point, so I am unable to complete or open the software. I have an internet connection that's working and I have no other programs open. Is there a solution?

    Just in case, make sure that your personal URL has no "forbidden symbols" like punctuation marks in it.
    Thanks

    In Itunes i'm unable to update my credit card info. It won't take the security code, but it did before. It also isn't accepting cards at this time.

    the security code error is actually generic and just means the card is being rejected, double check your billing info to make sure it matches the card exactly or contact the card issuer to make sure they arent blocking it because of a fraud filter or something similar
