downloading flash on mac 10.5 - not working

mmarie253 Nov 5, 2014 12:28 PM

Since the adobe update on 10.14 my flash has not been working on certain websites. The new installer also doesnt have an option to download a version for 10.5 mac. So I uninstalled my version in hopes that by reinstalling it it would work again on these websites. not the case. I am unable to reinstall it all together. the downloader is saying unsuccessful at around 40%.... can someone please walk me through how to fix the problem and regain adobe flash on my laptop???

thank you

Hello,

Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the last version supported on 10.5. It's available fro download from the Archived Flash Player versions page (direct link = http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive _mac_only.zip). The download link contains various files. After uncompressing the zip file you'll have a couple of directories, the file you want is flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg in the 10_3_r183_90 directory.

10.3.183.90 is very old and hasn't been updated with any security fixes since it's release. Also many sites require newer versions of Flash Player to view Flash content. Depending on your computer's hardware you may be able to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8 ($19.99 on the Mac Store) and be able to install the latest version of Flash Player. There are many discussions on upgrading OS X 10.5 to 10.6 on the web.
