Flash Player 11 not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

[Guest]

I just received an Update notification from Adobe system - to update Adobe Flash Player but the Update download doesn't specify what version of Flash Player this would install. When I clicked on "See Details" it took me to an Adobe page that does not SPECIFICALLY address the issue of which version of Flash player this Update notice would install. Unfortunately, I had previously choose to install this UNKNOWN version update and it totally screwed up all Flash videos that I attempted to view. I caused a rapid blinking or flashing of the video then crashed the browser (both, Firefox and Safari). Only after a lot of further research did I discover that Adobe's latest Flash Player Update installed version 11 and version 11 is reported (by Adobe) to be compatible with Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7+.  I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. The Flash installer should have detected the OS version that my computer is running (but obviously it did not!!!). I had to spend more of my valuable time to UN-install Flash Player version 11 and then RE-install version 10.3.183.10. Everything is fine now.............but why is Adobe sending out Updates for Flash Player that: #1 - do not specify what version this Update will be installing and #2 (and more significantly) - why doesn't the Update installer detect the operating system on a computer and if NOT COMPATIBLE, cancel the installation? This is a ridulous and time consuming situation caused by Adobe Systems.

So I start Hulu under Safari; and of course I go to Fringe.

I get this:

If I say no, I don't get to watch Fringe; unacceptable!

So I accede to the demand:

And soon I get:

I can repeat these steps, but nothing changes.

OSX 10.5.8/Intel

Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3)

Flash - "You have version 10,3,183,19 installed"

Update: I manually reinstalled 10.3, and now, while Safari still fails, I see Opera works.

Chrome must have some internal Flash viewer but it's way too slow: You hear the BANG of a gunshot, count one-potato, and then see the bad guy fall.

I am so disgusted with Adobe it isn't even funny. There are literally thousands of those of us who have power pcs that are also members of FB. Now we are told unless we are willing to pay thousands of unnecessary dollars for a new system, we can no longer view videos, because Adobe no longer thinks we should be able to.

My G5 Tiger is perfect. I have never had reason to switch to intel and I refuse to let the greed of the software industry dictate to me that I have to buy something I don't want and isn't necessary, just because they want the money.

Maybe I won't be able to view the videos, but guess what, I'd rather stand on my principles and not make them rich. Someday, when people realize how they are being manipulated they may finally take a stand.

It should be a choice, not a dictate.

I am having the exact same problem. The link Hitomi Kudo put in is to download Adobe 11 and that doesn't work on my Mac OS X 10.5.8. This is driving me crazy!

Does it work for Safari 5.0.6? I don't use Firefox...

[planter_1259]

yes but it doesn't work on facebook - warning - facebook blocked me

from broadcasting the address as a possible phishing/spam source - I

took that chance.

Thank you. There must be a Adobe Flash Player version that runs on Mac 10.5.8 and that works on Safari, Firefox and Facebook. Up to a week ago I never had any problems...

I had exact same situation. Having uninstalled my old flashplayer and

finding the new one not compatible It took me 5 days to find somewhere

to download flash 10.1.

If you are on a Mac and if your OS is either one of the following: OS X 10.4 Intel, OS X 10.5, OS X 10.6 or OS X 10.7 - you can download Flash Player version 10.3.183.11 here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
