YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps doesn't work - says Flash Player is out of date

Hello.
I have MacBook Pro since summer last year. In recent days, strange problem occured. When I want to open either YouTube, Facebook or Google Maps a window pops up saying "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue." (fig. 1) After clicking on OK, Safari shows page, that looks like Adobe Update page (fig. 2). After clicking anywhere, a setup.exe file is downloaded and thats all. After this, nothing else happens. I still cant view these pages and it is pretty annoying. I tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player but it didn't helped. I also searched the web but couldn't find solution. Any help will be highly appreciated.

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.  Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • Hi, my MacBook says Adobe Flash Player is out of date???

    Hi,
    First, I got a message saying that Adobe Flash Player was out of date.
    Then, when I went to the Adobe Flash website, it said "Adobe® Flash® Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher."
    My computer is a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
    Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to get Adobe Flash Player???
    I find it strange, because my MacBook says Flash Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher, but my iPad, which is an iPad 2, by the way, says that Adobe Flash Player is not supported on my device.
    What is going on?? How can I get Flash Player on both my MacBook, but also my iPad as well???
    Does this mean I have to buy a new computer and a new tablet???
    Is there any other way to get Flash Player or to view videos or video-like things??
    Is there a way to manually install Flash Player??
    What is the issue here???
    Would anyone help me out on this??
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

    Hi Niel,
    1. What is the best DVD to buy?? Because I realize there are different versions, like Mac OS X 10.6 that you mentioned, but there seem to be other versions as well.
    2. What is the most updated version that works for MY computer???
    3. Is there a difference between the different version, or only that one is the newest, and one is less expensive??
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

  • Iweb Widget Google Maps doesn't work anymore

    Hello, I wanted to update my website and I experienced that teh Widget of Google Maps is not working anymore. You can drag it on the page and then enter an adress. If you choose "apply" it is not working. How can I solve this problem?

    This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
    No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
    If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb.  Take a look at it.  It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

  • Google maps doesn't work on my new E72

    I got the phone last week and since then i've been trying to fix the issue but so far no luck. 
    I have the newest firmware : 031.023.244.02.
    When I open google maps (latest ver. 4.x ) it gets stuck on a infinite loop between "initializing GPS and GPS active"  
    In positioning methods I have the "Network based" option disabled. Assisted GPS and Integrated GPS are enabled. 
    OVI Maps 3.03 works fine, Sports Tracker works fine, GPS info app works fine, Location Tagger works as well. The GPS on the phone works great, it is just that Google Maps can't make full use of it. 

    I have unlimited data plan with AT&T, yes. I use the same access point for OVI maps as well, i don't have any maps stored on my SD card. 
    The fact that OVI maps crashes the phone when network based positioning method is enabled is a completely different issue. I am more concerned about google maps not working properly. 
    On a side not I wouldn't even use google maps if OVI was as good at finding local businesses. They should integrate OVI maps with yelp or some other online review web based service.

  • Adobe Flash Player is out of date (GOOGLE CHROME) it isn't...

    Hello!
    I am not very computer savvy so bare with me, but if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
    I am using Google Chrome web browser (I have IE and FF but for some reason they are sooo slow). Everytime I visit a page that uses Flash (every page in the world almost) I get this ERROR message...
    (jigsaw puzzle logo) Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.                                 Two boxes... 'Run this time' + Update plug-in
    I clicked update and it took me to the Adobe Flash page. It says it requires a MAC OS 10.6 or higher
    My MAC is an OS 10.5.8
    SO... I found the version for this OS and downloaded/installed.
    Restarted my computer, launched Chrome and what d'ya know, I got the same message!!!
    I don't know what I need to do now. I tried lower versions, still not working and I can't upgrade to Lion as this is a 10.5 (great!)
    My processor is a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mem 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM 
    Just incase that helps.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or what I need to buy to make it work I would very much appreciate the advice!
    Thank you
    OH I also just found on the Chrome:Plugins page that beside the FLASH note it says:
    Flash - Version: 10.3.183.29 Download Critical Security Update
    Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
    When I click on download critical... it downloads and still doesn't work.

    The Flash update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity.

  • Flash Player is out of date in Google Chrome

    I have a Macbook with Mac OS X 10.5.8 version (Intel Core 2 Duo).
    I run the internet on Google Chrome, but some time ago it started showing this message on every window.
    "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date."
    It shows grey windows with no flash content. And when I hit the button "Run this time", it starts playing the flash content. But it is an annoyance when I have to hit this button on every new window.
    I wonder how to solve this problem. Google advises me to solve this problem by displaying this message>
    Note: Although not recommended, if you don't want Google Chrome to notify you when a plug-in is out of date, use the command line flag --allow-outdated-plugins. Instructions on how to add a command line flag can be found on our Chromium site .
    But I tried to follow the command and it was too difficult for me to understand.
    I updated the Flash Player many times and I am sure it is up to date, but somehow this message still shows up. I also tried to uninstall my Google Chrome but don't know how.
    I like Google Chrome better than Safari because it responds faster than Safari and has less freezing problems.

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Google Chrome from the link that you provided.But somehow it doesn't work on my Mac. According to my computer specifications it is supposed to be compatible. It installs with the strange icon in front. And when I try to open the application it displays a message "You cannot use this Google Chrome on this Version of Mac OS". Please see the images that were displayed on my computer. I am confused.

  • I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated.  I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

    because it is a free application.  They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail.  I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music.  This may seem trite but it is not trite to me.  I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom.  I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service.  I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense.   Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it.  They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life.  Shame on Adobe.  I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job.  Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

    I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . .  .

  • My application tells me that Flash Player is out of date but, my my drop down menu says I have the latest version. What do I do?

  • Google maps doesn't display

    hi,
    just a little problem with my brand new macbook: google maps doesn't work. the maps never appear on the screen.
    thanks for help.

    I had this issue for SO LONG. Turns out that it was a router issue; SPI Firewall specifically.
    I have a Netgear router, and had to disable SPI Firewall in order for Google Maps to work.
    The issue was that the maps would load, but the tiles would fail to redraw as I zoomed in or out. Safari or Firefox or Camino had same issue, and all are fixed now.
    Now I can zoom in and out, and the Google Maps pages redraw instantly!
    Look up SPI Firewall to learn more. I'm advised that if I have the Mac Firewall set up, then the router Firewall can be safely disabled. (I have only a small network of three Macs at home here.)

  • Keep getting messages in Facebook that my Adobe player is out of date.  Is this an Adobe problem or a Facebook problem?

    I have tried to update Adobe player severl times.  Each time the install seems to work, but when I try to play a movie on Facebook I still obtain a message that Adobe Player is out of date???  Anyone have any ideas what is going on here???

    I've seen a RASH of posts in the Adobe Flash Player forums since the 2/4/2014 update, especially with Snow Leopard.
    I put together a PDF with detailed, illustrated instructions to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" and/or the "Out of date" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe, or on pages like Facebook.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
