Hi Tim, I re-downloaded the file just now which had a different file name and got me a lot further with installing flash player. I got as far as agreeing to the license terms. When I press vo space on the I agree check box to check it, I'm thrown out of the installer and back into finder. It's

Although I have not had this exact problem generally on Adobe Flash installs I encounter 2 problems. 1. You tend to have to use shift vo space to activate the buttons. so it might be worth doing this as well to see if it prevents you being dumped out of the install app.. 2. The install tends to

Tim and David, Thanks for your suggestions. Pressing space bar on the license check box and then on the install button certainly got me further. I then type in my computer password, press ok, and then the installer just says installer ready and there's a close button and a done image, with no

Oh looks like it installed after all. I'm now running the latest update according to system prefs. It was not clear anything had actually happened during the installation. Pressing space bar on the buttons certainly helps. And you can't always rely on vo f 5 to tell you the truth either. It

Hi, In addition to David’s comments, in lots of Adobe installers, you can often just use the space to check boxes like that and use your tab to navigate around if VO doesn’t work normally. It’s good to have a toolbox full of options when your normal VO commands don’t seem to result in what

Hi, You’re welcome. Normally, if the “Done” button appears, then everything went as it should and the installer completed its task. Glad it all works for you now. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Mar 27, 2015, at 15:42, Lisette Wesseling lisettewessel...@gmail.com wrote:

I think it's the Adobi Flash Player, but I'll find out more accurately for you. Sorry I can't be more help yet, but quite frankly I don't really know what he's on about as I don't use it. Eleanor Sent from my iPad On 26 Mar 2015, at 17:00, Tim Kilburn kilbu...@me.com wrote: Hi,

Hi, There was a discussion about this just a few days ago on this list. A few varied but similar responses. The basic gist, if it’s Flash, • Go to System Preferences. • Press on the Flash button. • Select the Advanced pane. • Interact with the Scroll area. • Navigate to the Check Now button

Hi Tim and anybody else who can help, I am having immense difficulty installing flash. Is the installer really buggy or something? I'm at the point where I've downloaded the disk image. I open the installer app. I'm warned about this and I continue. I'm asked for my computer username and

Hi Tim Thanks so much for that. I checked with my friend and it is Adobi Flash Player that he uses. So I'll pass on your information and hope he gets on ok with that. Many thanks for your help - I wouldn't have had a clue! Eleanor Sent from my iPad On 26 Mar 2015, at 18:33, Tim Kilburn

Hi, That Installer Helper HTML area should not be empty. IF you Interact with it, VO usually can read info about what’s going on. It’s the only area that is usually of any use to you. If there are any apps open like Safari, Chrome, System Preferences etc, that use Flash in some manner, they

Hi, Try the Check for Updates button and see where it takes you. If you need an update, it should take you to the Adobe site where you’ll probably download something similar, if not the same, as you already have. We’ll see how it goes from there. Later.. Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB

Hi all I'm asking this on behalf of a friend. He has a Mac, and uses Adobi an awful lot to listen to media files (radio etc I believe). Anyway, he wants to update Adobi but doesn't know how to do it on his Mac using VO, as this is the first time he's had to update since getting the computer.
