Oct 20, 2020 When you open a web page on your Mac which uses Flash player to control a video or some other Flash-based interaction and the Flash object does not display on your computer, then the Flash player plug-in might need to be enabled within the Safari web browser. Click on the 'Click to use Flash' button if it is displayed. Sandboxing Flash Player under Safari on Mac OS X is the latest step in the company’s plan to secure the plug-in across different platforms and browsers. On Windows, Flash Player already has been. And since Adobe Flash player is going away by the end of 2020, they won't. Flash Player has supported 64-bit on Mac for quite some time. The issue reported by @ bewilderedinRiverside is for Acrobat Reader, not Flash Player. This will open the Utilities folder in Finder showing the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager application. Right-click on the application and select Move to Trash. To complete the removal of Flash Player, go to Finder and in the Search field, type “installflashplayer”. Apr 12, 2017 It's been our experience that if it says 'Flash out-of-date' it's best NOT to click that button, as it takes you to a Safari home page with no choices to update Flash; instead, go to to download and install the latest version. Note that you must click the.dmg file that it downloads, to start the install.

If you use Windows, see Uninstall Flash Player | Windows.

If your Flash Player installation was not successful, use the following solution to reinstall.

Click the Apple icon and choose About This Mac.

The Mac OS version appears in the About This Mac dialog.

• Run the uninstaller on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, including macOS
  

Note:

Beginning with Flash Player 11.5, uninstalling the Flash Player resets the AutoUpdateDisable and SilentAutoUpdateEnable settings in mms.cfg to their default values:

• AutoUpdateDisable=0
• SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0

If you are running the Flash Player uninstaller as part of your deployment process, redeploy any custom changes to either AutoUpdateDisable or SilentAutoUpdateEnable.

Download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller:

• Mac OS X, version 10.6 and later: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg
• Mac OS X, version 10.4 and 10.5: uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg

The uninstaller is downloaded to the Downloads folder of your browser by default.

In Safari, choose Window > Downloads.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), click the Downloads icon displayed on the browser.

To open the uninstaller, double-click it in the Downloads window.

Note: If the Flash Player installer window does not appear, choose Go > Desktop in the Finder. Scroll down to the Devices section and click Uninstall Flash Player.

To run the uninstaller, double-click the Uninstaller icon in the window. If you see a message asking if you want to open the uninstaller file, click Open.

Bookmark or print this page so that you can use the rest of these instructions after you close your browser.

To close all browsers, either click the browser name in the Uninstaller dialog, or close each browser manually and then click Retry.

Note: Do not click Quit in the Uninstaller window. It stops the uninstallation process.

After you close the browsers, the uninstaller continues automatically until the uninstallation is complete. When you see the message notifying you that the uninstallation succeeded, click Done.


Delete the following directories:

• <home directory>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player
• <home directory>/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
