Will Flash player update automatically? I have that box checked.

I have a Mac Book Air 13" 2011 running Lion 10.7.5
I checked the Automatic Update Flash Player box in the Flash in System preferences.
Will it update automatically 30 days after the new Flash update 11.800etc.
I read on the internet that if you check that box it will update automatically in the background.

I appreciate your trying to help, but I was under the impression that it would update without going to their website.
When I click on download and install it opens Safari and takes me to their website.
The last time all I had to do was go to systems preference, click on Flash and in a few clicks it did it automatically without ay trouble at all.
I didn't have to open a disc image or anything it seemed to do it automatically in the background.
I read that if you check the update automatically in the Flash Preferences it would cotinue to do this seamless update.
I also read that after 30 days after the new update, it would do it automatically, (if you hadn't done it from the website.)
Is that not the case anymore?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Firefox 4.1 does NOT ask me if I want to update when I have that item checked, and will NOT tell me what the update version is so I can decide whether or not I want it.

Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate
With update settings as follows:
"Ask me what I want to do" is checked
Firefox, Add-ons, Search Engines checkboxes are all unchecked
If I choose "Check for Updates" from the Help menu, I am not told what the update is and am not given a choice about downloading it. It automatically downloads the update and then gives me an "Apply" button. As far as I can tell, there is no way to find out the version number for the update before downloading or installing it. A button that is labeled "Check for Updates" should do only that--CHECK, not download.
I want to know what the version information is for the update BEFORE anything is downloaded, so I can choose whether or not I want it. That's the way Firefox 3.x worked.
How can I restore the 3.x behavior regarding updates?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

Why when it requires flash player update and i have downloaded 3 time and it won't work?

Hi Chynann,
First I'd recommend trying the steps outlined in these FAQs
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
After completing those steps, go to this page and post back with the version reported as being installed.
Flash Player Version
Thanks,

When I downloaded I tunes and bought Match all 3 of my computers synced. Now I download a song from Amazon into Media player or burn a cd and they are not syncing with the other computers. I update match and have my boxes checked in preferences.

When I originally downloaded i tunes and bought match all 3 of my computers synced. Now when I download a song from Amazon into media or burn a cd into media they are not syncing. I go in and update match thinking that might work, it hasn't. I have all of my boxes checked in preferences on all 3 computers.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

When using youtube, Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing, i have ran the checks and they are up to date, keeps crashing though

Not working, followed the help steps, not helped, not sure what to do next

The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed

Check and tell if its working.

Bug in Flash Player update?

There appears to be a bug in the most recent flash player update. I have Acrobat Pro on my desktop, and Adobe Reader on my laptop, and had the same problem on both. After installing the most recent update for Flash Player, my Microsoft Life Cam would not work on web pages through Internet Explorer. The camera shows a freeze frame when it's activated, but does not stream video. My laptop has a built in camera that functions fine, so it appears the problem is occurring only with the Microsoft Life Cam. I did a system restore to a point before the update was installed, and it now works fine again. Not sure if this is the correct posting location. Didn't know if you were aware of the issue, but you should be. Thank you

I agree. There are bugs. Looks like Flash Player was updated this past April.
I could watch videos prior to this.
I use Vista 64 bit with FireFox 32 bit and Adobe Flash Player version 11 (latest) and it does not work anymore

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How do we verify/validate that a Flash player update is legitimate?

Is there a method for ensuring that one down;oads and installs only legitimate Flash Player updates? For that matter, any Adobe update?

RKF wrote:
What characteristics/attributes would one look form to acquire said trust?
That's a loaded question simply because of the most obvious answer, which would be "Look for the Adobe® logo".
Problem is: there are THOUSANDS of fake sites and even more fake download "popups" with illegally used Adobe® logos in them.
You'll see legitimate "notifications" on booting up if there's an update available. The Adobe Application Manager and Adobe Updater use system date & time to notify you when an update is available. Reader and Flash Player have "scheduled" update implimentation coded into the install. These update notifications will happen when you're not online, and will appear on your desktop with a "charcoal & red" themed window, and in the case of Reader, a system tray icon as well.
ANY legitimate online Flash Player update notification will appear in lieu of Flash content in a reputable site (YouTube, CNN, etc.) and will contain a "hoverable" link that will show in your browser's status bar as "http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/". ANY link that points anywhere other than that should not be trusted... at all, even if it has "adobe" in the url. Many fakes will add those five letters to their fake download url to fool people. They'll also use words like "WARNING" and "BEWARE" which Adobe doesn't use.
A legitimate update doesn't need to, and WON'T, "scare you into downloading it". They also offer things like "Flash Player Pro" (which doesn't exist), or a version number that hasn't been released yet. A simple right click on ANY flash content will pop up a menu and "About Flash Player" in that menu will tell you what version you're currently running.
If you see something that doesn't look right, like "13.3.1.182" available, when you have a current version that's 13.0.0.182... don't trust it. Flash Player doesn't jump that far that fast.
That's why I say discretion is best. I know several people who will click on a link just because it pops up. A few of them are clients and it's gotten to the point that I no longer feel bad about charging them $80 for 10 minutes time to clean up a mess they've made because I've warned them repeatedly NOT TO CLICK things when they don't know what they are or where they came from or where they lead. I/T managers have to lock systems down to keep employees from doing that or they'd be fixing their systems 24/7. Not so easy with personal computers, especially if kids use them.

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Any Ideas on how to get the update to install? I've never had this problem on any prior update.

What exactly do you mean "will not install"; do you get an error message?

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

Adobe Flash Player Update crash

"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."
I'm trying to answer this question, but don't know how to do it. So I'm starting new discussion.
I’ve had this problem for over a month and have reinstalled adobe flash player multiple times.
But now, I think I finally have the answer.
My tech downloaded the adobe flash player “installer” today.
But I think the key is to
1) start / run,
2) enter “services.msc,
3) go to adobe flash player update services
4) right click to get to properties
5) change startup type to ‘Automatic” and service status to “Stopped”.

I stumbled upon something that worked although I don't know why the two items are related. I was resetting FireFox in another attempt to get the latest Flash player to work and noticed that my Java Console was disabled. I don't remember ever disabling it but I turned it back on and suddenly, the Flash player stopped crashing.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Will Flash player update automatically? I have that box checked.
