Apple in a Fix- Adobe claims that the Flash player in Mac X security update

Since the day Apple first introduced a software upgrade for its Mac OS 9 these updates have never been a piece of cake for Apple. Most of these updates have created compatibility problems on the users’ machine and if not compatibility then these updates create problems like OS crashing and buggy applications. But, at least with these sorts of problems Apple tried to give its best to the consumers and not cheat them. But, this time the trend seems to be changing. It has been reported the latest security update released by Apple contains the previous version (released in February) of the Flash player.




Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs had earlier said in an interview to the Wall journal that the Flash player is slow, buggy and obsolete and so had not been incorporated in the iPhones.


Retaliating to this Adobe that is the manufacturer of the Flash player said that the Flash player that Apple is giving in the security updates for Mac OS X is not the latest version of the product. Besides the Adobe people have also claimed that Apple has asked its users to download the latest version the Adobe Flash Player directly from the official website of Adobe.
One has known about the tiffs in the relationships of these two companies since the day Apple announced that its iPhone will not support flash. These tiffs are now appearing in public and harming the consumers using the products from both the companies. As, for example if a Mac X user is using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and installs the security update from Apple he gets his Flash player degraded to the previous person and to download the latest again from the official website of Adobe.
Here is the list of applications and utilities that get affected when the security update for Mac OS x is installed:
Applications ---Address Book • Automator • Calculator • Chess • Dashboard • Dictionary • DVD Player • Finder • Front Row • Grapher • iCal • iChat • iSync • iTunes • Mail • Photo Booth • Preview • QuickTime • Safari • Stickies • TextEdit, Flash Player
Utilities  ---  Activity Monitor • AirPort Utility • Archive Utility • Audio MIDI Setup • Bluetooth File Exchange • ColorSync • Console • Crash Reporter • DigitalColor Meter • Directory Utility • DiskImageMounter • Disk Utility • Font Book • Grab • Help Viewer • Image Capture • Installer • Keychain Access • Migration Assistant • Network Utility • ODBC Administrator • Remote Install Mac OS X • Screen Sharing • Software Update • System Preferences • System Profiler • Terminal • Universal Access • VoiceOver • X11
