Forgive the dumb question, but I'm not a techie! I keep getting a pop-up saying my Flash player needs to be updated. I use a MacBook Pro. Is it safe to do the update from the link I'm getting? (Sorry for the dumb question.)

Never owned anything with an "i", but thumb drives (guess mac uses "flash player") on computers use either SD or Mini SD cards. I update my windows computer each time it needs it and never had a problem.
Best wait till some iMac user replies to this as I know zip about anything made by apple.

@Krimpette I'm on your level of knowledge but I do know to never trust a "pop-up". Never click on it. If something needs to be done go directly to the source.

@Krimpette I have a MacBook Air and never click on any pop-ups except the flash player updates. They always look exactly the same and have been safe for me. I just updated the other day.

Go to....
System Preferences>Flash Player (Icon)>Updates
Click on the "Check Now" buttons
"(Sorry for the dumb question.)"
The only dumb questions are the ones never asked.
"I'm not a techie!"
You should make it your business to learn about your expensive piece of equipment that you paid for w/hard earned $$$. There are numerous non-techy tutorials - text &/or videos out there.

NO, NO, NO. The pop up is a scam. Follow the advice from MZ and update in your settings

@Mindy D The flash player pop up that I get on my MacBook Air is not a scam. Apple told me about it when I bought my first MacBook Air about eight years ago. It is the only pop up I would ever click on, but I do it every time. It's legit. Following MZ's advice would work, too, but the pop up itself is not a scam.
