I run Mac OSx 10.5.8. I am trying to use Chrome, but the Flash is not working on either Safari or Chrome. Chrome insists Adobe Flash is out of date

, but I have the latest version available to my OS.

I have tried uninstalling, disabling plugins, reinstalling and enabling.

I have tried updating via Adobe website over 10 times.

I have tried switches which just run the outdated plugins...

I have tried renaming the system plugin in the Library and pasting in Chrome package contents

I don't have two flash plugins in the chrome:plugins

This is the error message in the chrome:plugins

Flash - Version: 10.3.183.23 Download Critical Security Update

The link goes to the Adobe website to install version 10.3.183.23, which I already have.

Please help?

This little "assistance" from Crome is really annoying. I'm considering changing browsers. Flash runs just fine! I don't want to click "run this time" on every single page I visit. I've noticed that the little message pops up on pages without flash. Google can go and...

I have tried all of these things to no avail. Unintalling flash player, restarting, reinstalling version 10.3, reinstalling Chrome and Safari (Flash is not working with either browser). This is quite frustrating and inconvenient.

Try your own troubleshooting for Safari.

Close everything and open ONLY Safari to this page ONLY and tell us what you see >

How do you know you're at the latest and current version?

As of August 21, Flash Player installed with Google Chrome would have updated "automatically" to the latest Google Chrome version, which will include Adobe Flash Player 11.3.31.230 for Windows and Linux, and Flash Player 11.4.402.265 for Macintosh.

As Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default, available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates.

Are you at Google Chrome version 21.0.1180.79?

Re-installing Chrome (not any separate Flash Player) should fix your issue!

If no luck, contact Google Chrome support > http://support.google.com/chrome/?hl=en/

The Flash version I have, 10.3, is the latest compatible with the Mac OSX 10.5.

Flash 11 is only compatible with Mac 10.6+.

I reinstalled Chrome, and I have the same issue of the Flash player not automatically updating.

Yes, it is indeed! Sorry I missed you're on OS X 10.5.8.

I reinstalled Chrome...

Can you confirm it is version 21.0.1180.79? It's important you confirm you're at the latest version of Google Chrome too.

... and I have the same issue of the Flash player not automatically updating.

I would repeat myself... "available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates".

Chrome automatically updates when new versions of Flash Player are available. The integrated Google Chrome Flash plug-in cannot be uninstalled using the Flash Player uninstaller. You can only enable or disable the integrated plug-in.

Therefore, as it's showing you're at the latest version 10.3.183.23, it would appear it is an issue 'internal' to Chrome's system updates; reason why I had referred you to their support, or alternativelly, post to their forums.

However, you can try Adobe's Help page (for Mac) here >

And alternativelly (Flash Player with Google Chrome) here >

Regret couldn't do better for you but please confirm by return how it goes.
