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

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.

Good Luck!

i think it is because the combination of OS X 10.5.8 and Chrome is no longer supported i just started getting the message today. there seems to be 2 choices:

1) upgrade your OS X to at least 10.6 (something I can't do without buying a new mac)
2) disable the integrated Chrome Flash player and rely on the OS X one something I am about to try but I reckon will burn 3 hours of my time to try and figure out and reckon this opens us up to security vulnerabilities and may not be supported for too long

Lose lose i reckon!

starting to notice this percolate in other areas like here on the Chrome forum

oh and yes i am on the latest version of Chrome for OS X (at least the one allowed for on OS X 10.5.8) which is Version 21.0.1180.90

Google Chrome is up to date.

This computer will no longer receive updates of Google Chrome because it's running Mac OS X 10.5. Learn more

They havebeen giving the above warning for months now ...looks like they finally closed the door!

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...
