Where the heck is the download button for the java update.
I hate that everything on this web site is so **** hard to find. It's irritating and anger provoking. Nothing should be this **** difficult!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Thank you Niel. I have another question please. I just read that one should disable Java to protect oneself from Flashback. I did that. Do I need the update for some reason?
Also, I use the phone in gmail but it won't work without Flash which I uninstalled according to the article from Mac.
Is there a workaround for the use of the gmail phone?
Thank you very much.

You only need to update if you have the old version. Just run Software Update. If it doesn't have any updates for you, there is nothing you need to do.

I don't know why you would have to uninstall Flash. It can be problematic, but it isn't all that bad. Just download it again: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If you ever need to update Flash, always go to the Adobe website and download it yourself. Never provide your password to a pop-up dialog.
You are entirely too clever, but boy am I appreciative...
Thanks again.

Hi Again,
I'm having a problem downloading Flash. I see it in the download folder, but that's it. There are no dialog boxes asking where to save it, no indication that it's been installed or anything.
That Mac article said to uninstall all the Flash but as I mentioned I can't use the phone or see videos in facebook.
What's the resolution for this?
Thanks,
bonnie

If you can see it in the download folder, just double-click it. It is Adobe software an they like to do their own thing. It won't look like any other window on your machine. I think that once you have the window open, just click the "Next" button.

Maybe don't get advice from random Mac articles. I see no reason to uninstall Flash. Many people are worred about the "Flashback" trojan, but that is a different thing. It is unfortunate that they (the anti-virus companies) picked a name so close to legitimate software.
Ok, I've downloaded Flash about 8 times now. I drag the icon into the applicatons folder like I do for everything that's an app. A small box flashes for a second or two saying installing.
But all of the browsers say I need Flash. Why isn't it working? Does each browswer need a separate version? The download page says it's for Safari, Firefox and something else. I thought maybe I would just use the phone in Chrome because I don't ever use Chrome for anything, but it says it needs flash too.
What's going on and how can I fix this. I'm so sorry that I did what the Mac article said to do. It said to do it because of the Flashback virus. I thought they are supposed to know what they are talking about.
Thanks,
bonnie
It's not an app. Double-click the "install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg" file to open the disk image. Then double-click the "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" program. Don't drag it anywhere. It will display a window like this:
Agree to the terms of the Flash Player License Agreement and then click the INSTALL button
That was it.... thank you so much.
I just love finding out what to do when I don't know.
I really appreciate it.
I'm glad you got it running. Don't forget to eject that disk image in the Finder sidebar.
If that dialog ever pops up on its own in the future, just close it and repeat the process to get the latest version of Flash.
I also love the fact that you have an animal icon... animals are so abused it's unbelievable.

They aren't abused when I'm around. Here is the full picture:
For the record, that was a "squirrel proof" bird feeder that we moved down lower to feed squirrels with.
Thank you for saying that. that's cute raccoon even if he's not supposed to be doing that. I am spending a lot of time on fb trying to help bird breeders in Asia, the middle east, India and other places to give their birds enrichment. They call me names and say horrible things to me. The birds are over crowded, have one perch, metal or brick walls and that's it. They all have to sit on one perch shoulder to shoulder in some cases. I try to work to save gorillas and elephants who are horribly treated in this country as well as others. Wolves, dolpjin and whales. Whales and parrots especially. Parrots are my speciality.
Thank you again for caring about animals. Did you know that recently an orangutan mother and her baby were captured because they reached for a piece of fruit? They beat her, tied her up, stoned her and then drowned her with her baby clinging to her side. They are also tying up female orangutans and letting men rape them one after another. They already have no habitat since it's all been cleared for palm oil palms so they don't have food and they are an endangered species.
Evil prevails on this planet and we are in a death spiral. If you want you can friend me on fb and you will see all my posts for petitions and other important information to try to give help to animals and the environment.
