- Re: Problems with Flash Player on a Mac Mike M Jul 14, 2013 9:05 AM ( in response to sauljaffe ) Unfortunately the problem ISN'T 100% Adobe.
- The Adobe Flash Player is an Internet browser plug-in that enables playback for streaming Flash video. The application is widely used on the Web and it has been adopted by online video destinations like YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu and Dailymotion.
- If you are a Windows or Mac PC user and find that your Adobe Flash Player not working on Chrome, read on to find the troubleshooting steps for the software that lets you load flash content on the browser.
- To find the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for your operating system (OS) and browser, go to Flash Player Help. Type the description of your problem in the search box on the Flash Player forum to search online discussions. You can also post your problem on the forum. If you are still unable to.
This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. Either way you look at it, whether I'm running the old version of Flash Player or the new version of Flash Player, there is a subset of websites (different in each case) that I cannot access content on, and that's Adobe's fault for the most part. CNET's Forum on Mac OS is the best source for finding help or getting troubleshooting advice from a community of experts. Discussions cover Mac OS such as Tiger, Panther, Leopard or Snow Leopard.
Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1, 2013 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:
If you're using an out-of-date version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, you may see the message “Blocked plug-in,” “Flash Security Alert,” or “Flash out-of-date” when attempting to view Flash content in Safari.
Clicking the indicator displays a message that Adobe Flash Player is out of date:
To continue viewing Flash content, update to a later version of Adobe Flash Player:
- Click the Download Flash button. Safari opens the Adobe Flash Player page on the Adobe website.
- Follow the instructions on the Adobe website to download and install the latest version of the plug-in.
Download Adobe Flash Player For Windows 7
If you need to use an older version of Flash Player, you can use Internet plug-in management in Safari to run the plug-in in unsafe mode for websites that you trust.
