Adobe Flash Player blocked because it is out of date. How to update?

Check for updates or just update adoe flash player
Adobe Flash Player allows users to view videos made with Flash, a common online video format that can be viewed by both Mac and PC users.

Because technology is consistently emerging, Adobe frequently updates its Flash player. Downloading an update is free, and may be required in order to watch videos online.

You will need at least 128 MB of RAM available on your computer to update Flash player, and Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later for Windows XP, version 7.0 or later for Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8.0 or later for Windows 7.

Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Adobe's Flash player download site.
Click the download link and follow the instructions on your screen.


Click "Allow" or "Install" if your security system asks if you want to download the file.
Avoid running other programs while the download is going on.

Flash player tests itself by showing you a brief video when the download is complete.
If you do not see this video, the player has not been successfully installed and you must try the download again.

Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform browser-based application runtime.

First, make sure your flash player is up to date. You can get the latest version on the Adobe website:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Second, I would suggest updating your browser from Internet Explorer 8 to the latest version. IE8 is an inferior browser with many issues. You should update to IE10 or a different browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Hope that helps!

If you're on Windows, follow the steps here and you should be set:

Hi

You don't say which operating system you are using.

You don't say where you are trying to download Flash Player from. If it is not from the official Adobe site, then the source file may be corrupted.

Flash Player may be installed/partially installed but corrupted and the download can't rectify the corrupted files.

Flash player is required to view YouTube Video clips. This is why you cannot use Youtube properly until you have resolved the Flash Player problem.

Uninstall Flash Player and all its components in Add or Remove Programs > restart the computer > download and install the latest version of Flash Player from:

www.adobe.com

Restart your computer after the download > try YouTube again.

Update Flash Player regularly to keep it up to date (you should get regular alerts to update).

I hope this helps.

If the flash player has crashed once, then it may not be a problem but if this is occurring repeatedly, then try to upgrade your flash player. If your flash player is up-to-date, then it may be the incompatibility between the flash player and the web-browser. In that case, try to have both the most recent updated browsers, like Mozilla Firefox 4, Google Chrome 12 or IE 8 or IE 9 and corresponding updated flash player.

To download latest softwares, click on the links below:

1. Adobe Flash Player IE (for Internet Explorer, Avant,etc)
2. Adobe Flash Player Non-IE (for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, etc)
3. Mozilla Firefox 4 RC
   
4. Google Chrome 12 Beta
   

If you use Firefox or Chrome as browser, then Flash Player for Non-IE is sufficient, but still I recommend you to install both the IE and Non-IE flash players.

Hope this helps,

just go to the adobe website and click on the update flash player button, it should automatically update your flash play. Alternativly use this link to download and install it manually.

That should sort out the problem, sometimes your web browser will block the updates from Adobe due to security restrictions. Also you need to be an administrator on your computer to install the update.

Make sure you flash player and Java are both up to date.
