Will updating Flash Player affect older version of Protools?
 

Can anyone help me figure out whether upgrading to the current version of Adobe FlashPlayer 10.3.183.50 will cause problems with the 2008 version of Pro Tools I use - LE7 v7.4?

If so, are there easy ways round the problem or am I better just to leave the setup as it is? (Pro Tools is the primary use for this computer)

I'm using an iMac 2.66GHz, intel core 2 duo, OS X v10.5.2

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. But I would wait for a second opinion.

You DO want the latest or a later version of Flash as there are some vulnerabilities patched. I running the latest version with PT9 if that helps any. Although its obviously not PTLE 8

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate your reply - but I will wait for a second opinion! I guess if the newer Flash messes up PT7, I can return to the older version of Flash from a time machine backup?

You might want to Google for any issues regarding that version of Flash and OSX and see what turns up. I think if there was a issue we would have heard about it by now.

Am I missing something here. What does Flash have to do with Pro Tools?

Hopefully nothing. But it is Pro Tools;)

Thanks again both of you - I was just worried ProTools might use Flash in some way? I hope not too (and hopefully am being paranoid) but I'm just a bit wary of updates as my system is a bit old now! I'll let you know what happens if I pluck up courage to try...haha

Maybe clone your disk or make a disk image and jump;)
