May 05, 2014 Question: Q: Adobe Flash Player for Mac 10.5.8 I have been using Adobe Flash Player for ages (for Hulu, etc.) and I tried to update it today. After that I was unable to open it. Well Adobe (in their bad programing) made some strange changes in the current flash that played a lot of havoc especially for 10.4.11 users as well as 10.5.x users. So to get of ALL the parts of Flash Player you must download the current Flash Player and use the installer to deinstall the current. Download Adobe Flash Player For MacAlthough this is touched on briefly in other posts, I would like some report from those who were brave enough to do the update, and what were their experiences. Typically Adobe has conflicting information depending on where you look, and it was someone on another thread that actually pointed me to a statement that the update is supposed to apply for 10.5.8 and the latest Safari update, and pointed me to the proper update link. Elsewhere it seems like Leopard was left out altogether in the system requirements. Based on my experience with Adobe on both Windows and Mac platforms, I am extremely reluctant to proceed as more often than not things don't work, and one has great difficulty in backtracking. In as much as Flash works perfectly now, security issue notwithstanding, I have to decide which is the larger threat: the security hole, or Adobe's wretched installation processes. Comments most welcome. The Flash that has come with our systems CAME with our systems, and is merely the web component. Look at your browser's installed plug-ins: they are Shockwave Flash. Now Adobe may have bought out Macromedia who originally developed Shockwave, but we do not have an application Flash Player on our systems. At least I don't. Adobe Flash Player For Mac Os XThat is why I am so reluctant to do this upgrade although browsers (e.g. Firefox) keep telling me I should, for security reasons). As I noted, everything works as it is. When I used PCs I had the same nightmare that you describe trying to 'un-do' an Adobe Flash update that was reputed to be for my OS, but which screwed up everything, and it was impossible to go backwards as the Registry had so many entries that only a Microsoft technician would have be able to fix it. I lived with a limping flash until I got a new computer. Eager to hear other responses.
