New Versions of Flash Player replace older Versions?

When I install a new version of Adobe Flash Player the old version automatically deletes itself?  I have little storage space of hard disk and I fear than the about 17 MB / version will worsen to meet an important space quantity if older versions are not automatically withdrawn from my hard drive.  If the old version is not removed automatically, how I remove it manually?

Thank you!

Mac OSX 10.9.1

Yes, it will overwrite the old file.

A bigger problem is the fact that a simple 17 MB could cause you problems on your hard drive from a point of view amount of space available. I'll pass on any wisdom I got by a guru 'Mac' years ago.

"You never want to let a HDD go below 25% available for a long time and NEVER let go below 15% available if you do not want trouble".

As a general rule, if you have a 500 GB hard drive, you want to keep available 125 GB more all the time. You can run under it for a while, but you can save external files and stuff to keep things smooth. My Mini has a 500 GB and I have 340 GB available. I have a time Machine 1 Tb and a 2 TB storage drive that still has 882 GB available. I'm also out of 160 GB flash drives and another 160Gb HD for storage of things long term I rarely access. If I do not NEED on my Mac hard drive, it goes elsewhere.

'Fragmentation' is not a problem with OS X, as it is with Windows, but you need TO 'swap file' space for replaces and modifies files that you handle, and 17 MB puts you in a bind... then work with a PSD file to 500 MB in Photoshop, with a dozen layers, is likely to take your system to the top. Even a PowerPoint file good size could lock you up if you do not have enough available space.

  • New update of Flash player installation 11.3

    Have tried to install the new update 11.3 for Adobe Flash Player. It says it installs successfully, but I still can't play videos, and he tells me I have to install the update.

  • new update of flash player 11 does not work with internet explorer 8

    I have Windows 7 and IE 8. It is a home desktop computer.

    When the last update of Flash Player 11.5.502.146 is automatically installed on January 9, IE8 has stopped working. I can browse a site, but then it just hangs. I can't click on a toolbar or other buttons or links - I can't even close IE - I have to use the Task Manager. If I disable Flashplayer, IE works fine, but then of course no content can be displayed. If I go to a site and then activate Flash Player, I can't click on anything again, so it does not work. Help. The most recent update does not work with IE8?

    This looks like a problem that might be addressed in our latest beta version of 11.6.  Could you try this updated version and let me know if this can help?

  • New update of Flash Player always not right with Mac Lion

    Hello

    I have updated my software to the latest flash player this morning after having had problems with the old flash player since I have upgraded to Mac Lion a couple of weeks. Fortunately, the new software addresses the problem of not being able to click in the box setting wee that appears, which is all fixed now, but I have still a problem with my mouse disappears when you use the flash player.  I can get it come back by moving the cursor of the mouse on the flash content, but its very frustrating to have to do this every two seconds when you try to play games online.  Just wondering is there anything that I am missing, perhaps a setting that I could change something it would do better, all my software is up to date on my macbook and everything works fine, just flash it seems to be a problem with.

    It seems that you have only installed Flash Player in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. This is why the Adobe site now offers to allow you to download FlashPlayer * here * to install on Firefox, you should now do, you use the Firefox browser.

  • is the flash uninstall program uninstalls all versions of Flash player?

    Hi all, I noticed that when I installed a new version of Flash Player, version stays and can be seen in programs and features.

    my main question is: because the available on Adobe.com Flash uninstaller uninstalls all versions of Flash, so Flash cleaning entirely from the system?

    a few side issues:

    -can I use any old Flash uninstaller to uninstall my current Flash?

    -Why the new auto Flash does not uninstall the old Flash during successful installation?

    It's complicated.

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher and on Google Chrome.  Run the uninstall program removes these, because they are not under our control.

    For the other browser plug-ins, run the uninstall program should clean them.

    Updates to Flash Player replace installed Flash Player.  We ship on a monthly basis, leaving each old version installed on your machine would be pretty silly after a very short time.  Each release also includes important security fixes, if you always want to be browsing the web with the latest version of Flash Player.

    Is there something specific that you are looking to accomplish?

  • If flash player problem, there is nothing wrong to do a system restore when he was working and not day of flash player, but firefox update?

    flash player update and update of firefox is not compatible. Do not play videos or connect to web sites and freezes... Solved by doing an update of windows system where he was working. This gives you a work of flash player, and you don't update and cancel the automatic updates. You can update firefox. A simple solution, just type in system restore in the start menu and follow the directions. Worried if there are drawbacks.

    Thanks for the replies. Here is my story: after the update of firefox and flash player June 22, I was unable to use my computer effectively. I am retired and use the computer for research, the entertainment and recreation. and I could not reach sites, found sites gel, could not play videos or hear telephone conferences. I tried to replace the flash player with older versions of the flash player, but kept receiving messages that the installation failed and I needed to install the latest version, I tried to get rid of. I also reinstalled firefox and flash player disabled player real and cleared the cache and cookies. I did not disable the protected mode which seemed complicated, I knew how to clear cookies in firefox at the time here.
    I decided to do a system restore before June 22. I have found that installing and reinstalling and put to date had exhausted most of my system restore dates, but I was able to find one on June 3 and he ran. If other people will try this fix, they should do it before he runs of dates.
    The fix worked, and I have not seen any bad effects. I have no files or important data. I see that this could be a problem. However the difficulty of making a system restore is running much less than firefox in safe mode or some of the other methods of obtaining an older flash player which I have been unable to do. Also I don't know how to disable the protected mode or quick acceleration, but I see that people should be judged with the fix of real player before doing a system restore which seems to be a last resort, for your comments.
    I was more concerned about security than with the loss of data. It seems that adobe tries to protect firefox users of problems with viruses with protected mode, and using the flash in prior non-protected mode was what I've been concerned. However, if I couldn't use the computer, the protected mode was not any help. I could stop and protected him, also. I didn't suggest others to do this fix if it was dangerous, but for me it was quick and easy to a moment that I was about to give up. I wanted others to know about it, because it works, but I didn't want to be the cause of unintended consequences. So I guess I have found, use the fix at your own risk and try first the other sollutions.

  • How can I uninstall old Flash Player 15 Plugin that my pc won't let me?

    I'm having the problem to do a clean install, by completely uninstalling older versions.

    It is the manual method to uninstall Flash Player on Win7 and below.

    Note: Under Windows 8 and superior people will mess up their systems in doing so.
    If you are on one of these platforms, don't do that.  Seriously.

    First of all, this procedure is invasive.  It is a fantastic time to backup anything critics on your computer, if you do not already have current backups.

    Perform a new installation of Flash Player on Windows:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/928315

    If you encounter one that you cannot complete (which you probably won't), it is a good indication that your file system is damaged.  This is perhaps something at random, or it is an alert that your hard drive will die.

    If this happens, first run chkdsk and repair problems with the file system:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2641432

    If you're still stuck, and it's a file you can't delete, Unlocker will usually make available again: Unlocker - free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com

    If it is a registry key that you can not delete, then you are in territory less comfortable.

    Windows has already automatically analysis and repairs the registry, if something is spectacularly messed up, if you are in this State.  There are commercial utilities that offer to repair the registry, but I don't know any of them well enough to make a recommendation.  Personally, I consider as a sign that it is time to think of wiping the machine and start over with a new OS install.  Something is wonky and the system will happen certainly much better with a clean slate.  If your disc * is * dying, there is a good chance that you will push over the edge in the process, but it was already a matter of time, and it's better than losing it having not been backed up.

  • Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.203 still vulnerable

    Sorry to bring bad news but Flash Player is still vulnerable. On July 10, 2015 a second zero-day was discovered in data leakage from the hacking team.
    External links:
    Security Advisory-Adobe APSA15-04: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-04.html
    Blog Malwarebytes unzipped: https://blog.malwarebytes.org/exploits-2/2015/07/new-hacking-team-flash-player-0day-uncovered/
    It seems that it was already integrated in exploit kits according to Kafeine MalwareDontNeedCofee and Malwarebytes.

    Thank you for the update.

    If there is no update available from Adobe that solves this problem, it is likely that the latest version of the Flash plugin would be blocked (the Java Deployment Toolkit seems to be a rare exception).

    For its own purposes, limiting Flash for reliable sources and media 'necessary' is a good idea. You can do this by using the click-to-play function as follows:

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you do not see an immediate need to run Flash, you can simply ignore the notification.

    Unfortunately, because the Flash can be embedded to other sites, this is not a complete solution. Even if you trust SiteA, if it is compromised with the media of SiteB, embedded journalists will play.

    You can do the more granular click-to-play service, rather than to trust all media on a site-by-site basis, using an extension. For example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/

    I noticed that you linked to an article on Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, which has a free version that should help to protect against this exploit. Have you tried? This much affect browser performance?

  • crossdomain. XML with Flash player 9.0.115.0

    Hi gurus,

    I just spent the better part of a day wading through the new features in Flash Player 9.0.115.0 security. I use the library of flash.socket, so I've discovered that I get this error message will get worse, that is to say, next version of Flash Player cannot connect even. Then, I got the good oil here.

    I wrote a crossdomain.xml file that looks like this (it's in the www-root directory):
    <? XML version = "1.0"? >
    < cross-domain-policy >
    < site permitted-cross-domain-policies of control = "master only" / >
    < allow-access-from domain = "192.168.5.201" to-ports = "7700" / >
    < / cross-domain-policy >

    Problem is that the reader flash adds the line follwing in the \Logs\policyFiles.txt it generates:
    WARNING: The 192.168.5.201 field does not specify a meta-policy. Meta-policy enforcement by default 'all '. This configuration is deprecated. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.

    From my reading, I've specified a meta-policy with the line:
    < site permitted-cross-domain-policies of control = "master only" / >

    So my question is why it cannot find the meta-policy?

    Just thought that I should finish this.

    Today, I restarted my XP virtual machine and hey-presto that begins to operate. Further investigation led me to see that, for some reason, Firefox was not re-reading the crossdamain.xml file, but to instead stick with what he reads the first time, he is running (from a cold start).

    IE does not seem to suffer this caching, but at least I finally found why it did not work - it has not been read the changes that I made in the crossdomain.xml file.

    Kcell thanks for your time.

  • Adobe flash player update my site cash! says flash player updated?

    My adobe flash player is up to date.  When I go on my site of Fund he said flash obsolete!

    This seems pretty common.  Your CU is unable to correctly detect the Flash (it seems unlikely if it worked in recent history), or a change in Safari has usefully disabled Flash for you.

    The following guidelines may be useful:

    Activate the Flash Player for Safari

    You can check by going to a site simple Flash like the one below.  If you see the animation, you use the Flash, it is simply not detected by the site, and they need to fix their code.

    http://www.homestarrunner.com/

    If this does not help, a new installation of Flash Player can help Safari to find him:

    Uninstall Flash Player - Mac:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Mac-OS.html

    Then take a Virgin installer from here:
