Mac Tip: Update Flash Player

When it comes to Flash Player on a Mac, most people complain it's slow, crashes a lot, and it always locking up. Actually, it's Apple's fault somewhat. Read on to find out why.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) ships with 10.0.23.1. This version of Flash Player is very unsecured in many ways.

Along with that, the latest version of Flash Player is 10.0.45.2. As you can easily notice, the version that is shipped with Mac OS X Snow Leopard is out-of-date big time.

Because of this, security issues, stability issues, along with many other things can cause Flash Player to lock up in many forms.

I would suggest that you would check that you would have the latest version of Flash Player by checking it here:

As you can see, this is a huge flaw in Mac OS X. But at least that it comes with a version of Flash Player, unlike a lot of the operating systems out there. If you're used to this little guy, it might be time to update your version of Flash Player.

Hopefully this might help some of you Mac OS X users out there. If this helps resolve your problems, please feel free to post your experience in the comments below!
