Why does Chrome insist Adobe Flash Player is out of date, but I have the latest version?

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 Chrome insists Adobe Flash is out of date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I have tried switches which just run the outdated plugins...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?

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 >
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
And alternativelly (Flash Player with Google Chrome) here >
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html
Regret couldn't do better for you but please confirm by return how it goes.
Good Luck!

Hi, my MacBook says Adobe Flash Player is out of date???

Hi,
First, I got a message saying that Adobe Flash Player was out of date.
Then, when I went to the Adobe Flash website, it said "Adobe® Flash® Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher."
My computer is a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
Does this mean I have to buy a new computer to get Adobe Flash Player???
I find it strange, because my MacBook says Flash Player requires Mac OS 10.6 or higher, but my iPad, which is an iPad 2, by the way, says that Adobe Flash Player is not supported on my device.
What is going on?? How can I get Flash Player on both my MacBook, but also my iPad as well???
Does this mean I have to buy a new computer and a new tablet???
Is there any other way to get Flash Player or to view videos or video-like things??
Is there a way to manually install Flash Player??
What is the issue here???
Would anyone help me out on this??
Thanks,
Bonnie

Hi Niel,
1. What is the best DVD to buy?? Because I realize there are different versions, like Mac OS X 10.6 that you mentioned, but there seem to be other versions as well.
2. What is the most updated version that works for MY computer???
3. Is there a difference between the different version, or only that one is the newest, and one is less expensive??
Thanks,
Bonnie

Adobe Flash Player is out of date pop-up panel

Periodically I'm getting a pop-up panel on my desktop that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date. I've check their site, and I'm current with version: 17.0.0.134.
Here's a couple of examples of the panels. Are these panels legitimate?....THANKS!!

Dubious that these are legitimate; either your system is infected with malware, or you are visiting infected websites.
Only download Flash Player updates from the adobe.com or macromedia.com website:
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI
Flash Player for Mac OS X
P.S. your installed Flash Player version 17.0.0.134 is current, so you wouldn't get any such notifications from Adobe.

i have a HP laptop, when i try to do certain things that require flash player it tells me i need to install the latest version so when i try it says its already installed. i have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions and it stll isnt working. I even checked the activex filtering and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Adobe Flash Player is out of date (GOOGLE CHROME) it isn't...

Hello!
I am not very computer savvy so bare with me, but if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
I am using Google Chrome web browser (I have IE and FF but for some reason they are sooo slow). Everytime I visit a page that uses Flash (every page in the world almost) I get this ERROR message...
(jigsaw puzzle logo) Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date. Two boxes... 'Run this time' + Update plug-in
I clicked update and it took me to the Adobe Flash page. It says it requires a MAC OS 10.6 or higher
My MAC is an OS 10.5.8
SO... I found the version for this OS and downloaded/installed.
Restarted my computer, launched Chrome and what d'ya know, I got the same message!!!
I don't know what I need to do now. I tried lower versions, still not working and I can't upgrade to Lion as this is a 10.5 (great!)
My processor is a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Just incase that helps.
If anyone knows how to fix this or what I need to buy to make it work I would very much appreciate the advice!
Thank you
OH I also just found on the Chrome:Plugins page that beside the FLASH note it says:
Flash - Version: 10.3.183.29 Download Critical Security Update
Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
When I click on download critical... it downloads and still doesn't work.

Does this forum post help?

I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .

Using safari on mac lion OS, web sites tell me to install adobe flash but I have the latest version

I am using Safari on my MacBook Pro with Lion OS. Web sites are now telling me to install Adobe Flash Player or install the lastest Adobe Flash Player. I have the latest installed and have reinstalled it several times. Any ideas why this is happening?

How to install Flash, fix problems
Step by Step to fix your Mac
http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html

Flash player is not recognized even though we have the current version

upon clicking on a youtube url we get an error message stating that we need to install the current version of flash in order to play the url. We already have that install and when cut and pasting it into IE it works just fine.

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use. You need the Plugin version for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

We run a program that does not allow students to update programs or make any other changes. The problem is, Firefox thinks that we HAVE to update Flash Player every time there is a new release. This is just not feasible with as many computers as we support. 99% of the time, the update is not necessary.

They do have ESR version for Win/Mac at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html where it is mainly security/stability fixes.
''westj [[#question-1044112|said]]''
<blockquote>
but I still would like to single out Adobe Flash because their ESR v-13 continues to be updated more frequently that I would have imagined for the reason of this "Extended Service Release"; is it possible, please, to edit the blocklist programatically (batch)?? For example: I installed Flash v-ESR 13.0.0.264 on 01/29 got warnings for v-13.0.0.269 around 02/26 --which also makes me wonder if I should have gotten a series of 5 warnings for (v-265--269) in about a mont's time.
I, too, work for a school and was hoping ESR v-13 would remain the static workable version until it fails to deliver flash content because of improvements to core -strictly necessary- development. Or am I missing the point of ESR?
</blockquote>
Just like with Flash 16.0 the 13.0 ESR gets security and stability updates as Adobe was trying to fix critical exploits proven in wild as to why there were five updates in a short time. https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer
ESR means it is a version supported for a longer period of time compared to the main version at time. The first Flash 16.0 I believe was 16.0.0.235 released early December 2014.

My application tells me that Flash Player is out of date but, my my drop down menu says I have the latest version. What do I do?

I have 3 Flash Player installers in my download folder. Not one of them will load properly, or install the update I'm told I need. Any suggestions folks? Thanks.

"Adobe Flash Player" is out of date

On two recent occasions while browsing with Safari, the following pop-up window appeared:
The complete URL is as follows:
I am highly suspicious of this URL as it has no indication that it is an Adobe site. In addition, the pop-up window behavior was unusual in that it could not be closed and requires two accepting answers!
Are my concerns valid? Is there any possibility that my computer has already been affected by this?

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked.
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. If the fake update alerts stop, see below. Otherwise, ask for instructions.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.
