I'M TOLD THAT I MUST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL FLASHPLAYER EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I DO.  I HAVE AN IMACG5/OS 10.12.3/SAFARI 10.0.3 AND IF FLASHPLAYER IS NOT WHAT I NEED THEN STOP TELING ME TO DOWNLOAD IT AND INSTALL IT!

    I believe that the website that you're visiting is telling you to install Flash Player, because although it is installed, it is not enabled in Safari.  Safari continues to make it increasingly difficult for their users to use Flash Player.

    The following guide should help you enable Flash Player in Safari, and we try to keep it current with Apple's latest changes:

    Enable Adobe Flash Player for Safari

    You will probably also want to bookmark that page, as you'll probably need to reference it again after future MacOS/Safari updates.

    Thanks!

    Please don't shout (use all caps).


    If you're being prompted to download Flash Player every day you either have an out-dated version of Flash installed, or it's malware.

    Please do the following:

    • Go to System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab
    • Post a screenshot of the Updates tab

    The next time the update notification prompt displays, post a screenshot of the update prompt to this discussion topic

    FlashPlayer is not one of my System Preferences. I do not know why I'm asked to Download it and Install it every day. When I SEARCH for FlashPlayer I get the SAME MESSAGE: DOWNLOAD IT AND INSTALL IT. I wouldn't mind getting a NEW version WHICH WILL WORK BUT WHERE/HOW CAN I GET IT?

    Again, there is no need to shout (use all CAPS).


    The next time the message displays, take a screenshot of the message, including the address field in the browser window, and post it to this discussion topic.
