adobe plug in failure

It looks like Adobe released a faulty update. A lot of people are seeing plugin failures with today's Flash update (version 13.0.0.182). If you need to run Flash immediately, your best bet is to uninstall Flash and then temporarily reinstall the previous version. (See http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html for how to do that.)

Otherwise, just wait a day or so for a new update. The problem is widespread enough that I am sure Adobe is working on it urgently.

from Adobe Suport page

We are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2007 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13). We apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing. We are actively investigating the cause and hope to have a full solution to you shortly. In the meantime, please follow this two step procedure which will revert you back to version 12.

1. Download and run our uninstaller:http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/unins tall_flash_player_osx.dmg
2. Download and run the version 12 installer from:http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_12_osx.dmg

I will continue to update this thread and post to twitter (@liquidate) when new information is available.

@ditechspain: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) In my first round of uninstalling the non-functioning Flash v13.0.0.182 from my 2007 Mac Pro 1,1, I used the file "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app" that I found in my App>Utilities folder . . . following by trying to reinstall Flash v12 using the dmg file that I originally used to intall v12 last year.

But, I kept getting an error message that Flash v12 failed to install.

2) In my second round of uninstalling Flash v13 and reinstalling v12, I used the links you provided.
And, after using the UNINSTALLER, I restarted my computer.
THEN, I used the v12 install link you provided.
After successfully installing v12, I again restarted my computer.

Gratefully, I am back to where I was prior to any involvment with Adobe Flash v13.0.0.182.

I don't think you need to restart your computer. I just used the uninstaller. After this was done, I then installed v12. All according to the Adobe Support instructions. And, now, all back to how it was before 🙂

worked for me

worked for me too - Thanks

Thank you so much. Instant results. After days and days of reading thread after thread, and uninstalling, running my terminal to find old flash,etc. BOOM

I followed your instructions, used your link, done.

Update released, worked for me:
