Adobe flash installer
Firefox says update Flash, but Adobe's installer's splash screen has 'install' grayed out. Is OSX trying to protect me from doing something stupid (installing Adobe S/W)? ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

Is OSX trying to protect me from doing something stupid (installing Adobe S/W)? Probably. What version do you have installed now? What page are you trying to install from? Try from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Why not just uninstall Flash and use Chrome when you need it? -- arno s hautala /-| a...@alum.wpi.edu pgp b2c9d448 ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

You can check at adobe.com which version is is the latest and also check the version of Flash Player Firefox use. If the two are the same Firefox is wrong obviously. If your Flash Player is outdated compared to the latest at adobe.com, then the Adobe stuff on your local machine is not showing the new version as an available update at the moment for any unknown reason? As far as I can tell OS X has nothing to do with this. A clean OS X installation with Firefox + Flash Player on top should not interfere with the update mechanism for the Flash plug-in. If your version is outdated, download the latest and install. Check if you need to uninstall the old one first. This has been the case a few times before. Or just uninstall before installing no matter information about it or not. John Stalberg___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

There's a teeny-tiny checkbox buried in the middle of the splash screen that says I've read the license or words to similar effect. Right? Once you check it, the Install button undims.

Yes, that worked after I looked again. I thought you meant the read the license bit, but there is indeed a small gray on gray, almost invisible, check box.
