Does anyone have any ideas how to update my flash player on my Mac?  It has the following: OS X 10.5.8 which has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.  I tried updating directly from the Adobe forum related to this, but it only lists the option from 10.6 to 10.10 now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

If you're on an Intel Mac, you can probably complete the installation.  I don't *think* we'll block you at install time.  That said, we're using the MacOS 10.6 SDK, so there may be problems.  You should be eligible for a free upgrade to Yosemite, and you might want to consider it. 


Running a Flash Player from the archives means that you're missing all of the security fixes that have been shipped since that build was initially released.  If you're surfing the web, this is generally a pretty bad ideal, even on Mac.  You're going to be much safer running current versions of the OS and Flash Player.

This page suggests that you're limited to either 10.1 or 11.2, it's slightly vague. But certainly you can't get to current versions unless you're on 10.6 or later:

Archived Flash Player versions

If you're on a version earlier than those two, you can get the installer from that page for the one that will still work.
