Windows Security blocks download of Flash 10.x
I was having trouble installing Adobe Flash 10.x plugin for Safari/Firefox under Windows XP. A popup Windows Security window kept appearing during the Adobe download. It's not the antivirus/firewall/Control Panel>Security Center stopping the download: it's the security settings in IE! Lower the security settings in Internet Explorer briefly for the Internet zone or place www.adobe.com in trusted sites, and see if that clears it for the download.
Hi, you are correct. This is a Setting that is easily overlooked!!
See Item #4: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Thanks for the reminder

Read windows email files downloaded to flash drive on home mac
Because my email at work is always too full, I bought one of those mini flash drives to off load some stuff so that I could delete it from my mailbox. When I brought the flash drive home and put it on my Mac, it shows all the files are there, but I can't seem to open them (see the one below as an example). When I click on them, they show up as an attachment in an email. I was able to read the text on one I tried by somehow getting to HTML (don't know how I got there), but it didn't show the item as it was, just the text. Is there something I have to do to read Windows files on my Mac? I don't have any problem when I forward emails from work to my home email, so why won't these files just open in Mail like those do? Each time I click on the one below, it just opens another mail page with this as an attachment, but the item itself doesn't open. Can you help?

I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 6
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 7
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 8
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -
Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
Anyone help me, please?1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx
2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

Type your questionWhy does windows keep blocking the installing of Flash player updates ?
I have been trying to update Flash Player and windows keeps blocking the download saying its not secure but my Norton 360 tells me its safe What can I do ?
I have never seen Windows blocking a Flash Player update. Try downloading the offline installers
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI -
I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?
I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

i have windows xp. i just got the computer and internet on it. i downloaded adobe flash and real player. but i still can't get sites like facebook and youtube to work. i always get popups that ask if its a trusted site and to add the exception, which i do. yahoo and msn work, i can see photos and pictures and images just fine, but facebook and youtube are still all just words and error messages. any suggestions besides what i've already tried? i'm not tech savvy so step by step is how i learn best!
Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the <b>issuer of the certificate</b>.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate. -
i just got an hp p7 q7 quad desktop. i'm having great difficulty downloading adobe flash player apparently because i'm using firefox as my browser. i disabled microsoft security essentials as instructed, but i'm still unable to download.

I have followed your instruction on downloading Adobe Flash Player but the final screen comes up with Blocked Plug-in so back to square one? Help?
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’.

Still getting blocked plug ins after downloading latest flash player to macbook
Am still getting blocked plug ins on video content after downloading latest flash player (as requested to do) to macbook please help
Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, check if it works there. -

Can't download an application from the net because of an apple security block
MacBook Pro C0*******3UG 1TB Os 10.9.5
I can't install an application from the net because of some Apple security block. How do I remove or get around the block? The instructions in help say to double click the application and all that happenes is that I get the same window saying I can't install.
<Edited By Host>It's usually not necessary to change any security settings, and as a rule you shouldn't.
To make a one-time exception to the security policy, follow these instructions. They apply to Installer packages and other installable items as well as applications.
Some defective software installers may fail when Gatekeeper is enabled. Think carefully about whether you really want to run such an installer. If you do, temporarily change the setting to
Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere
When the installation is done, revert the setting.
Some applications that don't have a developer signature have been reported not to launch the first time unless Gatekeeper is disabled. The warning message from Gatekeeper is that the application "is damaged and can’t be opened." Again, think carefully about whether you want to trust the application. If you do, disable Gatekeeper as above, launch the application, and then re-enable Gatekeeper. If you still get the warning, delete the application. -
Trying to download Adobe Master Suite trial version and windows security alert
I am trying to download a trial version of adobe master suite but when I sigin in with my adobe ID a security alert pops up saying " Windowes security alert revocation informaiton for this certificate is not available, do you want to proceed?"
I press yes but notihng happens it keeps popping up.
My computer sits behind a firewall and proxy. It may be useful to know if your install process accesses any TCP or UDP ports other than 80 and 443?
Also if there is a solution for iths.
ThanksNothing to do with Adobe. Talk to your IT department and how they handle certificates and local security in your intranet. The default port for any HTTP communication is 8080, so yes, if it's globally blocked/ rewired, then there may be issues with downloads. In any case, this is nothing anyone around here can resolve for you.

Is there a way to view Flash videos on my iMac without downloading Adobe Flash Player? I'm concerned about performance and security with Adobe Flash Player.
If the video is only available in a format that requires Flash player : then no.
However, a great many can also be viewed in an HTML5 version, in which case http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ or similar can be set up so that Flash never runs unless you specifically choose it to.
