Update Flash Player Preferences

My favorite webpage is requiring me to update Flash Player more and more often.
Every time I update, I am forced to select an Update Preference.
It would be useful if the selection choice from the previous installation were saved so that I wouldn't have to change it every time.

Hi Mr X.
Not sure what to take away from your reply.
So, you're saying that the auto update doesn't apply to the latest version. I'll keep an eye open for that if it's ever offered for the next, latest version. I've never seen it in action before, and changing the Auto Update option to my desired choice is getting tedious. (Did I already say that?)
Having my chosen setting [effectively] reversed every time there's an update is also offensive. The problem should be rectified.
> I don't think that your favorite webpage require v11.5, so it should not be a problem for you.
Sorry, but my favorite "flash audio player" wouldn't open twice in the last one or two weeks, but only gave a message saying that Flash had to be updated first, yadda yadda. I wouldn't lie about something like that. The message said explicitly, "Requires updating to v11.5.xxwhatever-beta." Today, they wanted the 2nd update, and it was no longer whatever-beta. If I said it was required, I don't know why you would assume I'm probably wrong.
In both instances, updating brought the flash audio player back to life. Updating was required, twice, in fairly quick succession.
Although you also say "it should not be a problem for me, it *was.* Evidence my undertaking navigating adobe's incredibly awkward, non-standard, uniquely complex, and user-unfriendly website. It's not something I would do willingly, but ONLY IF adobe was "a problem for me."
Yes, I would prefer if the URL of the audio stream were made available so I wouldn't have to deal with a user-unfriendly blight like Flash. But since the URL is not available, Flash *is* being a problem for me. That's why I'm here. Is it coalescing?
Yeh, this whole thing was sufficiently problematic that I felt it should be addressed. I might go so far as to suggest that if it is a problem for me, then there really is a problem. I shouldn't have to defend my opinion that a there is a problem when adobe neglects to confirm the usability of their product(s).
In summary, I agree with you Mr X. I shouldn't have a problem. Thanks for your help.

After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed. Install successful but application will not work.

Hello,
After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games. I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications. However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again. I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure. I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work. I check my security settings and it does allow plugins. I erased my temporary internet files. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated! This is incredibly frustrating. Thank you

Thank you for responding! I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5. I have not intentionally installed any ad
blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times. My online
school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system. To the
best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
where the trouble is. I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
besides what I find in the system preference/security tab. Thank you again
for responding and any help is most appreciated.

Tried to open but was told to: Update Flash Player. Clicked on: Update Flash Player, then went back to open and got the same message to update Flash Player. Did I get malware from Flash Player??

Tried to open a page but was told to update Flash Player. Clicked on update Flash Player, watched the blue bar fill in, went back to open page and it again said update Flash Player. Did I get malware instead of Flash Player? How do I know if I got malware?

Just in case keep these links handy ..

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!!!

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

Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169. YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
Any ideas?

JavaScript and Cookies are enabled. my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu. Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

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.

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 (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

Flash player preferences keep changing

Hi everybody,
My Flash Player preferences (in the preferences pane) keep returning to the default settings after i have made changes to the settings. It seems to take about a week between the time i set the preferences till they return back to the default settings.
As an example, about a week ago i set the "Storage" tab to "Block all sites from storing information on this computer." Last night i checked the preferences and this same tab had been changed back to the default choice, "Allow sites from storing information on this computer." Same thing for the "Camera and Mic" tab, i check the "block all sites", then in a week or so it goes back to "Ask me."
This is occuring across all the tabs in the Flash Player preferences.
Any ideas?
Paul

FredtheRed,
This discussion is almost two years old - and, hopefully, the OP had his/her problem 'fixed' sometime between those years.
Which version of Flash Player are you using and what exactly are your problems?

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.

Update flash player in domain

Dear friends,
how can I release the update flash player on the computers in a network domain without the users are administrators of the machines.
Thank you.

That's not much help in my case, because it requires you to have a distribution agreement with Adobe. I don't want to distribute Flash Player, I just want to install it on the machines I administer.
I can't even run the new version of the installer successfully, because it attempts to download Flash Player and the machine I'm working on doesn't have a direct internet connection. Earlier versions allowed you to download the full installer, so you didn't need internet connectivity on the machine you were installing to; why has this been changed? Where is the full installer?

Update flash player- password issue

Adobe Flash player update is asking for my password which is valid and lets me into my account online, but will not allow me to update Flash Player.....
advice?

There is no sign-in password needed for Adobe Flash. However, your computer account's admin password is required to install software.
Did you not create a password for your computer's login account? If not, then you will need to do the following:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier with installer DVD
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password,
     OS X- Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier).
