Was my update of Flash 5.5 legitimate?

Hello
I don't know if I'm in the right place.  Please redirect me if I'm not.  I have a new Mac Pro 6 core with Lion since Feb 2012 and bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5.
Today I got a pop up window saying there was an update for Flash and I downloaded it successfully according to the process communication.  Later I went into my checking account on line and made a house payment.
Not 20 minutes later on Yahoo home page a topic came up about the Mac "Flashback" virus which said earlier versions of the Malware were delivered from phony Flash downloads. 
I go into my applications and get info on Flash CS5.5 and it doesn't give me a version....just the total bytes and says it was "modified today".  Does that mean I don't have to worry that it could have been anything connected with the virus talked about in the article?  The fact that there was an actual update?
Please....thanks!
Ron

Yes you are probably correct, yachts99.  Flash Pro is not something I use.  I am really concerned now.  Trying to call Adobe is next to impossible with the voice mail and wait.
What's confusing is that the Flash Pro shows its created date as of when my Mac Pro was put together at Other World Computing, 2/2/12.  But then it says "Modified" yesterday at approximately the time this all happened.  But all ll I have done is go into the applications and right click on it which gives me this information plus total bytes info on my boot drive.  And I tried double clicking which shows the version as 11.5.0.325 as it opens.
When I do a google search on what is current Flash Player version I get the information I have the current version for Mac with Lion 11.2.2.2.228
So sorry I guess I am in the very wrong place, but from what I have described as my concerns does anyone have any suggestions to put me at ease?   As mentioned first thing coincidentally I did after the supposed (or real) update is go online into my checking / credit card site with B of A and then my mortgage provider to make a payment from checking account.

  • How do I update the Flash Pro

    Creative Cloud alerted me that there was an update for Flash Pro, but it has failed repeatedly. I get a message that the update failed and asks me to try again, but it keeps failing. How do I fix this problem?

  • My computer has been crashing when i am using firefox. I was watchung a new video first, then when i was trying to update my flash player like support suggested

    It started the first time when I had Firefox. I would be watch an online video and the picture would stop and the sound would become a buzz or a slow buzz and the sound trying to play. It became more and more. I chanced to chrome for a while. I wanted to try out fox again but it started all over again. It also happen when it looked up possible fixes and tried to update my flash player like suggested. It got to the point where it was downloading and the computer crashed. the only thing I can do every time is do a hard boot and start my computer all over again.
    I don't think I ever had to do that with chrome. Help me, I really do like Firefox a lot but I am going to have to go back to chrome. Also, another thing that is happening is my firewall program is popping up more with a TCP warning.

  • The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

    The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

    Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

  • HT5660 When updating Adobe Flash Player on my Mac I am told "blocked plug in."  How do I reverse this?

    When trying to update Adobe Flash Player on My iMac I get a message that says "blocked Plug-ins."  When going back to previously viewed studies, including youtube, I get the same message.  What changed if the update was never installed?  How can I reverse this situation?  Thanks for any ideas? 
    PS - not a techie :-)

    Are you actually getting a Java error too, or are you only getting a Flash error?

  • MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8): can't update adobe flash - now Word, Chrome, etc. all crashing on startup

    I am not computer savvy, so if you answer, please be slow and deliberate. thanks!
    Was having Adobe shockwave/flash problems while running Chrome, which is not completely unheard of. Restarted my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8), which included a software update (though I'm not sure exactly what programs were updated).
    Now Chrome will not run at all. Every time I start, it crashes immediately. Have tried SEVERAL times to trash/download it, but the same version seems to keep appearing in my Applications folder. Have also tried trashing the Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome folder to no avail. Appears back in its place after dragging it to the trash. 
    In addition, Adobe flash videos for Safari and Firefox (which I just downloaded as a tester) also will not work. Each attempt to update Adobe Flash also ends in a crash. And now I've discovered the same for everything Microsoft (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). The program shuts down and the Microsoft error message appears breifly, followed by the same crash "Mircrosoft Word Error Reporting Quit Unexpectedly" box.
    Again, have tried several times to download Chrome & Adobe Flash to no avail. All system updates have been made to date. What to do next?

    Has your computer started running slowly as well?  Everything taking forever to work?
    if so, this is the same type of issues I'm having.

  • OS 10.6.5 updater and flash player

    knowing that 10.6.5 updater brings flash player up to the latest available, I uninstalled the version of flash player I had installed (knowing Adobe recommends that you uninstall the old one before installing a newer version). So, I uninstalled it using hte provided adobe flash player uninstaller. I then ran the 10.6.5 updater and was surprised to find that it did not install flash player.
    Can I assume that, in this the case, the 10.6.5 updater will not install (or update) flash player if it does not find it already there?

    I am confusted, the notes in the 10.6.5 says it updates your flash player to the latest one...

  • Asynchronous update of Flash chart error in IE

    Hi gurus,
    I had a post a while ago about an update command for a flash chart:

    The goal was when I clicked a button or changed a select list the flash chart should update. Here is the command to update the flash chart:
    apex_RefreshChart ($v('pFlowStepId'), $v('Pxx_REGION_ID').substr(1), navigator.language );This worked really well in Firefox but IE always created an error:

    I just found out that the original time based flash update option creates the same error I get all the time. It can be configured under:
    Chart attributes > Refresh: Asynchronous Update = YES and Update Interval (Seconds) = 10
    Error: (line 49) (JScript - script block):
    function __flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
      instance[name] = function () {
        return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=\""+name+"\" returntype=\"javascript\">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>"));
      }By the way I use the newest APEX version: "Application Express 3.2.1.00.10"
    Seems more like a general error? Everybody should be able to rebuild this under IE 8 or IE 7. I use IE8!
    Created source code:
    &lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function chart_r2258227549390282_InitRefresh(pNow) {
      setTimeout("chart_r2258227549390282_InitRefresh(true)",10000);
      if (pNow){apex_RefreshChart (1, '2258227549390282', 'de');}
    apex_SWFFormFix('c2258227549390282');
    &lt;/script>It still works well with Firefox.

  • Trouble after updating adobe flash plugin in quicktime/safari

    I was visiting a site when a presentation in the site did not work and gave the response to update the adobe flashplayer to the latest version. I did this and now quicktime doesn't recognise any thing any more. ( In sites and mail. My movies on harddisk work normally. All I get in websites and mail is the q logo with a question mark in it. I have rest quicktime to default, did not help, changed the mime settings so that all was selected still it doesn't work. I have a macbook pro 15" with the latest version quicktime pro. all apple software including safari and mail is up to date. what to do??? I am a user not a tecnical genius.

    Apple Discussions!
    Did you repair permissions & restart after you
    updated your flash plugin?
    Thanks for the answer, yes I restarted, how do I repair the permissions??
    Maybe stupid I don't know, but as said I am a user coming from a Bill Gates puter and this is my first Mac. Could you enlighten me??

  • I already updated Adobe Flash to latest version, why can't Firefox detect it?

    Through a company IT rep, he helped to update my Adobe Flash Player already along with installing Firefox 3.6
    Now why does the firefox claim "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" when the Flash Player was already updated to the latest (i.e. attempt to view youtube videos for testing).

    There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version which is used by Internet Explorer and the Plugin version which most other browsers use, including Firefox. If both are installed, two versions Adobe Flash should appear in Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • I am being told to update my Flash but I only have Windows 2000 and I think it is meant for Windows XP, what should I do?

    My Firefox was auto. updated which fine because you still support Windows 2000 but now it says that I need to update Flash Player and I think that needs Windows XP. I am not sure it excepts Windows 2000 anymore or I am not sure. What should I do?

    Are you trying to install Flash Player for Internet Explorer?  See https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

  • Win8 automatic update for Flash 11.6.602.171

    Win8 Pro with automatic updates did not install KB2819372 (providing 11.6.602.171) correctly.
    Result was that some flash-source (e.g. youtube) would play normally (metro and desktop!), other sources would not start (facebook, macromedia and adobe test sites that show the version, e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html).
    Also, the HP Solution Center (used to scan on HP devices) would not start, as it did not detect the IE plugin.
    Error message was all alike: no Flash plugin installed, guiding me to the adobe download area (which does not work for Win8/IE10, as the plugin is provided by Win8), or leaving the flash area greyed out / empty.
    After KB2819372 was manually removed and reinstalled via windows update, IE10 behaviour returned back to normal.
    As I did not find any working solution for my problem, I thought I could share my experience.

    Thank you for posting!  I'll let our Win 8 team know and will keep this in mind if anyone else encounters this problem.

  • Problems since the Update on Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (Mac)

    Hello.
    I have some Problems since I updated my Flash Player.
    I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 13" 2.66GHz). I played a Flash-Game named Zombie Lane on Google+. Since the Update it judder. A friend of mine has the same Macbook Pro, but a Mid 2011 model. As you maybe know, this model is not mentionable better.
    But he does not have the same trouble as me.
    If i look at the activitiy-display of the Mac, I can see that the Flash Player uses 80-100% of my CPU with an overall User-Usage of 40-50%. Isn't that a little bit to much?
    I also delete the Flash Cache and uninstall Flash to install it again. But that was not a solution.
    I hope you can help me...

    I have spent countless hours trying to get my flash player working and have tried EVERY kind of possible answer through many forums and websites to solve this. Does adobe have anything currently that will solve this flash player problem?? I have the lastest version of Safari 5.1.1. and I have the lastest version of adobe flash player 11.0.1.152, I have even tried the debugging installs adobe put out for flash player. I have tried the "working around lion flash player video thing" where you try private browsing. I have tried going into system preferences and entering into the flash player settings in the storage tab the allow this sites, etc. NOTHING HAS WORKED!! I still get my local storage pop up message whenever I try and watch a you tube or any site that has flash video on it, that flash player settings box still pops up and is stuck on my screen and I cant click allow or deny or get it off. So many people I have read have the same problem and I only the same answers pop up that I have tried again and again, does anyone have a real resolve to this yet??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
