Flash Player delivers breakthrough web experiences to over 98% of. This application's bundle is identified as com.macromedia.Flash Player.app. Installflashplayerosx.dmg, dontlookbackmac.dmg or Rambo.dmg are the common file names to indicate this application's installer. This free Mac app is a product of Macromedia. There seems to be lots of us with this problem, and yet nobody seems to have any answers! I posted a week ago and still no joy. Cant seem to find any way to contact Adobe either, it just directs you back here, getting very frustrated now!!
