![]() ![]() …and the PPC-users commenting thereafter are reporting good results Note : I have distilled the above mentioned from this thread on the BBC Blog, especially from comment #76, #77 and #80 : ![]() ![]() Or google for “flash 11 on PPC Mac” and you’ll get similar solutions, maybe this is a good one : There might still be 2 things you can try :Ī solution based on the previously mentioned “Flash-twist for Facebook” (which you called “the 2nd thingy”), combined with the use of the “TenForFox” web browser (an edited version of the recent Firefox browser to run on PPC Macs) : Note : judging from the fact that Adobe is now at Flash Player 11, and the latest version for G4/G5-Macs is Flash Player 10.1, one would assume that support of Flash on G4/G5-Macs is slowly, but steadily, fading…Įven though it is mentioned in this comment that the “Flash-twist for Facebook” could and/or should be used combined with the TenFourFox web browser, I would not recommend doing so, as the developers of TenFourFox strongly advise users not to bypass the built-in ‘no plugins’ policy for security Moore : – in the window that opens, click on “Install Adobe Flash Player”, and follow the instructions to install… that’s it ! – then open the download and unZIP it by double-clicking on it – you have to scroll down further on the page, though an enormous list of versions, to find “(Released ) Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)”, which is just above the “Android Flash Player versions” chapter. At the moment I’m writing this, the latest version for “Mac OS X 10.4+ (Power PC processor)” is Flash Player 10.1.102.64, but for some curious reason you cannot download it straight from the list… – If you scroll down that page, you’ll find a table that indicates which version of Flash is the latest one that’s compatible with your G4/G5-Mac’s version of OSX. – if you would select anything here, you would see that there’s only versions for intel-Macs here, so click on click here (from the line “If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, click here for older versions of Adobe Flash Player.”) – then click on the line Different operating system or browser? – go to the regular Flash download page : The latest versions of Flash for PPC-Macs (like G4 and G5 Macs) are curiously hidden on Adobe’s website… Here’s how you can download & install : But when I go to the Adobe Flash download page, I can only download Flash for the new Intel-Macs… what can I do ? Due to its history of security and stability problems, users on the desktop are still encouraged to always update to the latest version.I’m browsing the internet from my G4 (or G5) Mac, and I get a message that I need to update my version of Flash. Adobe announced the end of Flash for mobile devices in late 2011. However, with the advent of HTML5, Adobe Flash is in decline. Without it, many videos and games cannot be displayed in the browser. No additional installation is necessary for Google Chrome which includes its own edition maintained by Google.Īdobe Flash player is still an essential part of today's web browsing experience. One, called Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, is only for the use within Microsoft Internet Explorer, while the other, Adobe Flash Player Plugin, is for the use in other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox. On Windows, there are two separately available editions of Adobe Flash Player. It is not available within the browser on Apple's iOS mobile devices (iPhone, iPad), where Apple disallows it citing security and stability reasons. Flash Player is often used to display videos, games, and advertisements.Īdobe Flash Player is available for many platforms and browsers, including Windows, MacOS X, Linux, and several mobile device operating systems such as Android.
