• How can I find the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on my Mac

  1. How can I find the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on my Mac?  I'm on OS 10.11.5 and Safari 9.1.1.
  2. How can I determine if I need to update Adobe Flash Player

  There are several different methods to check which version is installed, two of them are:

  Option 1:

  • Go to System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab.  There are 2 variants of Flash Player on Mac, NPAPI for Safari and Firefox and PPAPI for opera and Chrome browsers, and both appear in the tab "Updates".
  • If Flash Player is installed the version installed is listed here.  If there is a version that is listed, click the check now button and Flash Player will check for an update.  If an update is available, a notification dialog box appears.
  • If there is not a version listed, Flash Player is not installed.  Click Install now to start the browser to the download page.  Download and install Flash Player.

  Option 2:

  • Launch the browser and go to https://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about.
    • If Flash Player is not installed, a "plugin missing" message appears when the Flash content should display.
      • Click on the "plugin missing" text and a window placard showing Flash Player is required poster.
      • Click more info to be directly to the download page to download and install Flash Player
    • If a previous version of Flash Player is detected and blocked by Safari, click on the "Outdated Flash" text and displays a windows Flash is obsolete screens.  Click on download Flash... button to be redirected to the download page to download and install the latest version.

• Possible malware on Mac - is Adobe Flash Player install Manager application legitimate?

  I have a macbook pro and I am running 10.10 OS. My browser is Safari 9.1.

  Flash player NPAPI plugin version 21.0.0.242 is installed.

  Flash PPAPI plugin player - is not installed.

  Protection service 5/7/16-a identity to which I am subscribed sent a message saying that my Adobe password has been hacked. I changed the password.

  05/15/16, 1 AM-while you browse using Safari a popup appears saying that it needed to update my flash player. (Stupidly), I clicked on "OK".  The window asked if I wanted to install the MacGuard, MacSecurity and another application. I clicked on 'no' to each, then "continue." He then asked my administrator password to install Flash Player. Well I type the password, and I closed the window we'd send her to install some files which warned me that something was wrong. At the end of the installation has changed my Yahoo homepage. I ran Malwarebytes. Malewarebytes identified some suspicious files which I deleted. Then I restarted my computer. 

  I just noticed a file in my Utilities folder called Adobe Flash Player install Manager. It was created on 09/05/2016 and changed 12/05/2016. I don't remember installing this application. Also, I have "notify me to install updates" and I don't remember notification.  Is Adobe Flash Player install handle (located in the folder Utilities-see below) an application legitimate or should I delete it? When I impulsively tried to remove a few minutes ago, asked me my admin password. Before we continue I hope get some forum members advice. It belongs in the utility folder or do I have to remove it using my Admin password?

  

  Thanks a lot for any assistance.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it does not appear you have received a notification of update of Flash Player false as MacGuard MacSecurity not the third-party products available for installation of Flash Player and the official Flash Player installer modifies not the browser's default homepage or the favorite search engine.

  The official Flash Player installer has an application called Adobe Flash Player install by in the utilities directory, however, at this stage, it is difficult, at best, to know if this file was created with the Flash Player installer legitimate or not.

  I have recommended to perform a clean uninstall.  See the FAQ How to perform a "clean installation" of Flash Player in Mac OS X for orientation.

• Adobe Flash Player install/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close

  Seems that the 3 or 4 recent Flash Player updates, once the update is complete, but before the installer stops actually, I get a box of error message telling me that "Adobe Flash Player install/Uninstaller 11.2.r202 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. ', etc, etc, etc.  I received this error several times as most of the computers I work on Windows XP SP3 (all updates) with Internet Explorer 8 browser, including my own computer and my wife.  If I could copy/paste the details, I'd do it.  But is not the temporary file which is supposed to be created for purposes, error reporting, and I'm not going to spend the next half hour to transcribe all the technical details.  I just want you to know, that there is a problem with your Installer.       -kd5150-

  Today we released Flash Player 11.3.300.270 to answer specifically the collapse of the FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe.  See the announcement post for more details and links to installers:

• How to Flash manually to some Adobe Flash Player install manager wants to do?

  I get periodic signs of "Adobe Flash Player install Manager" telling me that there is a Flash update, but until now I could not decipher if it is

  (a) a real upgrade of adobe rather than a horse of Troy of God-only-knows-who.

  (b) if it is a real upgrade, what will be the version after installation, so that I can decide if I want to install it or not;

  (c) if I don't want to install it, how to get this version and install it manually

  This is what looks like the Panel:

  

  By pushing the «See details...» "link takes me to the page basically useless http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/releasenotes .html #p10 which anyone can write a link to and no indication of what might actually be downloaded and installed and where it would come from.

  If I have a url which is on adobe.com and has a file that I can download and install - and I can see for myself that it'S from the adobe.com site - then I will download and install it.  But I sure as hell won't push the button 'INSTALL' and put in a name of user and password administrator on some random Panel of unknown origin that appears on my computer!

• Adobe Flash Player installed.  Does not seem to be recognized by IE9.  Incorrect display of browser?

  Good evening everyone,

  This Flash issue drive gives me fits, so I hope that one of you may have experienced this before. Websites visited on this Tablet does not recognize Adobe Flash Player. I have installed Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.135 for Internet Explorer. When I go to the following link, http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html , I get the following information:

  "Flash player is running on your system." The lil' ball rotates backwards.

  Version of flash player: 11.5.502.135

  OS: Windows 7 (32-bit)

  Browser: Opera

  Well, I use Internet Explorer 9. What gives? I tried to uninstall and reinstall Flash player. No luck. ActiveX filtering is disabled. The Shockwave Flash Object add-on is activated. I ran a few antivirus updates and find a bunch of signatures, but I removed immediately. (Malwarebytes, Spybot S & D)

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I'm about to nuke the hard drive and start over.

  Thank you in advance.

  Good afternoon Sunil.

  Thanks for the reply.  Sorry if I wasn't clear on my previous post.  That's right, that the page incorrectly detect the browser like Opera. I was with IE9.  It was very strange.

  I corrected it performed a Windows system restore from the previous month.

  Take care.

• Adobe Flash Player install stuck at 30%

  I tried different several times on two different browsers to update the Adobe Flash Player. Installation stops at 25% or 30% each time. I've seen other posts on this subject and a friend of the computer of mine did the same thing. I have troubleshooted all options except empty my cache. I even went so far as to remove my old version AS REQUEST by the resolution of the problems and now I'm screwed unless it is Adobe Flash Player. Someone has got to have a solution. This is getting ridiculous.

  Had the same problem. The solution that worked for me on Mac OSX Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player, download stops - ask different

  The solution is to download the installer out of line on this page http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html. Download Installer "DMG (for system administrators)" and install it. After installing restart Safari for example and check of http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/ that you have installed.

• What is my password to install adobe flash player install 14 identical to my adobe password?

  is my password to install the same 14 adobe flash player adobe password?

  This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

  If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

  If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

• Adobe Flash Player installed, but the content does not work

  Adobe Flash Player works once I install it, but then evenually he stops working. I tried many methods of support, including downloading the tool from Microsoft to fix permission errors. I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
  
  Somewhere, I noticed that there is an old thread like this with someone who has the same problem. I knew someone who responded showed a screenshot of what the permissions for the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they don't seem to match.
  
  Here's the screenshot: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9738/testrj8.jpg
  
  Please help me solve this problem. Without Adobe Flash Player, I can't do many things, like watching videos on YouTube.

  I solved the problem, thanks to this post:

• Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla (ver.30) will not download

  Then Mozilla 'Check your Plugins for updates' determines that the shock wave Flash Player Flash must update and sending me to Adobe to get updates (14.0.0.125)... DOES not depend on what link I click on the is I have the option to install McAfee* (not * or GoogleChrome * + w (No * + is not *) *.) Then I have a 'install it now' button to click, which will ask you to save the file (stops as <install_flashplayer14x32ax_gtbd_chrd_dn_aaa_aih.exe> for downloading 'Google' options)... (stops as <install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe> for "McAfee" options dnld).

  When I type "run", the Adobe Flash Player installer window opens... (a small window, only to see the progression, I guess) and just sits there, white... forever... doing nothing - until I have * ctrl + alt + delete , end the process (the only way to stop it*)... and when I checked, went to the "registered" file as well.

  I WAS * to finally upgrade my Adobe PS (for Internet Explorer * only) with a link m_vargas was kind enough to send (after I posted in the wrong sector/debate), so I'm posting my Mozilla problem here (hoping that this is the right place to post the question).

  I'm currently experimenting on another page, trying to find the page, the link, the name of the file that contains the options "McAfee"... (but in the end, he does exactly the same thing and will not be updated either). Of course, I'm not the only one who has this problem, but I do not see other messages concerning a problem of 'Mozilla' like that... maybe I'm in the wrong place.

  ... ok... the 'Google' link just of using IE Tab options or by using IE itself is to make to "http://get.adobe.com" "... while link/options"McAfee"comes to using Mozilla to join the"http://get.adobe.com"" " page."             BUT like I said... OR / link to the results page to get FP set to level.

  AND *, make the "clean install" gave rise to ALL * of my saved Flash player versions get annihilated... GONE *... from my computer.

  So I hope that someone knows m_vargas, or is as smart as they seem to be and don't know a "Good" link for the update of MOZILLA FP (either Flas * or ShockWave...) I finally read somewhere that they are the same... *).

  Thank you

• Adobe Flash Player does not not even once the download installation is completed

  I tried to go on several Web sites and content display - Youtube, lazy and some websites I need for educational purposes. When I try to view the contacts or download a song, I get a message saying that I need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to do so. I have lived this process several times today, but each time I have download Adobe Flash Player, it tells me that the installation is complete. However, I am still unable to see the content or listen to the songs. I have restarted my computer several times and that didn't work. I see that the Flashplay is listed on my Add / Remove programs in the Control Panel, but it does not when I enter these sites. I called tech support a couple of times today with no resolution to my problem. Please HELP! What can I do? Thank you

  Hi td, I do not know what OS you are using or the version of the browser, so I'll just make a guess :-)

  With IE, go to tools > Manage Add ons and find the Shockwave Flash object... ActiveX control... Flash10d.ocx and make sure it's there and activated.

  If the FF, go to plugins and see that the SWF, vs 10.0.42.34 is listed and enabled.

  Also, go to add/remove and check the versions and lists of Java and post this info back. YouTube uses the latest version of Flash Player and the latest version of Java (which since yesterday is JRE 6 update 18)

  Thank you
