Do I have to do anything to replace Adobe Flash Player?

Apple is so beyond ******** for this because there's so many businesses applications I use that require flash. It's literally making it to where I can't even function unless I use Windows. Apple when you read this realize how (insert cuss word of choice) dumb you are.

Um... no.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Apple.

Flash was an Adobe product. Go complain to them.

I went through one of the Adobe pop-ups I was getting asking me to uninstall Flash Player, it asked for my Apple ID, and now I am concerned that might have been naive. Is there a way I can make sure everything's ok and I didn't inadvertently let something install malware? (I'm having no problems so far, but that was just last night.)

Ok great, than yes, that will be asked in regards to uninstalling the application.

When I uninstalled the Adobe flash player, the drive is labeled as:

uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg

Hope this helps you to know that you have the correct drive to remove it. Please correct me if I am wrong, anyone. :-)

I also deleted all the files that came with it, I had quite a few of Adobe files and they just took up space from having, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash Drive, I deleted both.

I have an anecdotal story form the Y2K era. A good friend of mine was an IBM field tech in those days and was visiting small businesses that used the smaller IBM systems (mini computers?). His job at the time was to update those systems to deal with the Y2K date change that was coming. Those updates were not free and some customers refused to lay out the cash. My friend would explain that if they didn’t update their system it would fail. Now we can debate whether IBM was customer friendly in charging for the updates but the fact remained that some were so stubborn in refusing the update that they didn’t understand the consequences of doing so.

Wait I thought that Apple was gonna have something to replace Flash Drive...? I can’t believe Adobe is doing this or what their reason could be. They get people using other services due to being tied to them with drive and reader.

crazy! I could of sworn that Apple has something available. Maybe I’m wrong! Wow!

I received a notice from adobe that adobe flash player was being discontinued as of 1/12/2021 and adviced to uninstall it. Is this legit?

Absolutely legitimate. As of 1/12/2021 Adobe will start blocking Flash media from playing.

So, whenever I click on something that won't load because Adobe Flash Player is no longer supported my guess is we out of luck using those sites? Need to be able to use these type of sites.

By the way. The website you posted a link to was retired and taken down in 2017, four years ago. Where have you been?

Thank you. It's all new to me. I appreciate the help.

Thank you so much for this answer. It explains everything.

What happens if/when I uninstall Flash Player?

Got cha. Thank you.

So what was the flash player for btw?

Adobe flash is no longer available. My on-line banking won't run without it, so I was wondering if there is a replacement for it?
