Adobe updates Flash Player
Adobe released updates to it’s Flash Player versions for Mac, Windows and Linux today. Update your versions as soon as possible via System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced or download a fresh copy from the Adobe website.
The full bulletin can be found here.
Update: Read the comments to this post to find out more about this particular update. Thanks Al for the heads up.
The Flash Player 13 update has been found to be problematic for “…Macs created between 2006 and 2008.” Adobe has a fix in testing and promises to have a replacement out early this week. In the meanwhile users with issues are advised to uninstall v13 and revert to v12.0.0.78. Details and download links are at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1447282?tstart=0.
Good tip! I have also heard from several people, and experienced first hand, the installer will freeze or blank out during the download of the latest version. Installing through a newly created user seems to work for the majority of these people.
