Staff MacBook Pros - "Flashbridge Wrapper"

 * During installation, the Flash installer will present a list of all applications that use Flash that must be closed before the installer can continue. Most staff MacBook Pros come with Promethean Interactive White Board software installed. This will cause the Flash updater/installer to warn you that "Flashbridge Wrapper" needs to be closed before installation can continue. To do this you will need to click on the icon for the Promethean ActivManager on the top menu bar, go to Flashbridge and then select Quit. Installation will then continue once any other applications have been closed.

Safari

 * Apple's Safari browser requires Flash to be up to date at all times. It will not display the webpage content if it detects the Flash plugin is out of date.
