How can I tell if Adobe Flash is installed properly and upto date version?

Hi Guys and girls, hopefully an easy question for you.

I installed Adobe flash and lightsource last night, cos I needed it to run Weebly website maker.

Anyone know if Weebly runs correctly on 10.9.1??

I have a new comp, so no previous version of flash on here, I am running OSX 10.9.1

I just want to know How I can tell if Adobe Flash is installed properly and is the upto date version?

Where do I go in the comp to find out,

If I type in Adobe flash into search it only brings up flash manager, when I click this it is an uninstaller program.

Lightsource shows in finder apps.

If I type in flash player it shows up in plugins with a version number see screen shot.

Where would I go to check for updates for things like flash on my comp?

Thanks Team,

Jason in oz. 🙂:?):)

Just go to Adobe's site:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

You have the latest version, for now.

This page shows what Flash plug-in version you have installed. This is not an automatic update but is an easy way to check the version. If the version number shows up, Flash is working correctly. The page lists the most recent version by platform so you can compare.

1. Safari > Preferences > Security > Internet Plug-ins

Allow Plug-ins

2. Go to this Adobe site to check. You will see the animation above the tree.

Also, if you go to the Apple Menu>System Preferences you should see a Flash preference pane has been added to Sys Prefs. Click to launch it and the Advanced tab gives the version number and enables you to check for updates.
