Update Flash Player (General Plug-in) in Adobe applications

Hello,
Secunia PSI detects Adobe Flash Player 9.x (General Plug-ins)
as unsafe. The Plug-ins are used by the Adobe applications: Bridge,
Dreamweaver and Air and are installed in directories of these
programms.
I've updated Flash Player to version 10.x but these programms
use their own Plug-in (installed with the programms) and haven't
been updatet by the update routine of Flash 10.x.
How can I update the Plug-ins for these programms?
Regands, Uwe

I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos

Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games. Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank. I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download. I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch. I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician. She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved. I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook. And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster. That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in. I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer. I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos. But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2. I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos. I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox. I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem. Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time? But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed. Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player. I did have the most recent version. He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave. I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate). Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos. But I can still play Facebook games.

Try using the uninstaller for Flash Player on Adobe's site first. Then update Flash Player.

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

Update Flash Player via Adobe or whatever Apple updates?

I have always just let whatever Apple installer that updates Flash Player do my flash updating. Should I, instead, just always update directly from Adobe whatever the "latest" version of FP is? In the past, Apple seems to include a FP update with either a Safari or Security update. I have no idea if they do not update FP on a more frequent schedule because Apple has not "tested" the latest version.
Also, I have read that it is better to uninstall your current FP before running the current installer, however, the instructions on Adobe's website does not mention that at all.
Any suggestions?

Apple does not provide Flash Player updates, and the version included with the OS X install disks may be out of date.
Update via Adobe when you hear of an update, or just check regularly.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

I'd like to investigate what's occurring. Would you be willing to run the following steps to generate a debug log for me? If this looks like too much work, please let me know and if you're willing we can schedule a quick desktop sharing session so I can do this on your system for you.
1. Download “SetACL (executable version)_2.zip” from: http://bit.ly/WEppuY
2. Extract the appropriate “SetACL.exe” from either the 64 bit or 32 bit folder and place it alongside the flash_report.bat file attached to this post.
3. Right click flash_report.bat and select “Run as administrator”
Once run, please copy/paste the contents of the flashreport.txt file into a reply.

I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
Could that be the main problem?
I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
Please help?

You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
Thanks,
Suni

Be careful updating Flash Player !

Hi
Just a warning - watch carefully what you do when updating Flash Player.
My 9 month old hit the space button on what I can only assume was a dialogue box asking whether I wanted to install some unwanted McAfee Security scan plus garbage,
It of course is selected as the default - thats what everyonewould want isnt it ? - random garbage software on their computer.
I have since successfully uninstalled it I hope.
So my love for adobe grows as you can tell from this rant.
First they insist that I register Lightroom only to then get hacked, expose my personal infromation to god knows who and have my email address consequently inundated with all sorts of unsavoury SPAM.
Now they sneak garbage like this in when Im not looking for what should be a simple update.
Adobe are approaching the hights of EA these days. I will never buy adobe again !
Thanks for listening.

Nobody is happy with the 3rd-party software Adobe bundles with its software updates.
However, it is very easy to get around that. I have installed, updated, and used Flash Player since version 6, and I have never gotten any unwanted software onto my computer. How to:
install the updates manually when they become available
use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd-party software
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
do not let childred or pets install updates; disable automatic updates if necessary

Updating flash player on a computer with no internet access

I need to update flash player on a computer with no internet access. How can I select to have it downloaded to a flash drive? The download process keeps adding it to the computer I am using, but that is not where the update is needed. What am I doing wrong?

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

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.

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.

Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

Hello Everyone,
I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have. We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update. I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Update flash player on mac os x 10.5.8

i have a mac os x 10.5.8 and i am trying to update flash player but every time i try i get a message saying it requires 10.6 or higher. how can i update my flash player??

Running Leopard you can't. What you have is as far as it will go.
Leopard was the last build Mac released that was a "Universal Binary". In other words, it would run on PowerPC or Intel Processors. Once Snow Leopard was released, Adobe stopped deveopment on Universal binary builds of Flash Player.
I know it seems like just another "money grab" by Apple and Adobe trying to force everyone to buy a new Operating System, but the entire industry has moved away from the old Apple architecture and software for it.

My Mac has stopped playing you tube asking me to update flash player trouble is it is asking me for a password and I don't ever recall setting a password for this mac -!!!!!

When the Mac was setup you had to create an administrative password.and account. Yo have to sign into that account to install apps/plug-ins like Flash. To reset that password.
