Sep 16, 2011 Re: Mac OS X Flash Player Issues Tanaii Sep 13, 2011 12:17 PM ( in response to Tanaii ) Today, in an effort to try to get things working, I decided to update java, safari, and I performed a security update for my computer (security update 2009-005).
While Flash may have fallen by the wayside for many in favor of newer technologies like HTML5, much of the web still relies on the old plug-in to display content to users. Though macOS no longer comes with Flash installed by default, you can still download and install it if you need to. If you have Flash on your Mac, you might be wondering how to go about updating the plug-in, especially if you've decided not to allow Flash to update itself.
Here's what you do when you want to update Flash on your Mac.

- Open System Preferences from your Dock or Applications folder.
