Hi guys, I have an iMac G5 PowerMac8,2 PowerPC G5 (3.0), I did a big mistake and upgraded my Adobe flash player, I tried many older versions for power pc but nothing really worked, please tell me what to do.
Thanks 😉
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Hi again Kimo,
Did you run the Flash uninstaller first?
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

BDAqua, thanks so much for your help, should I install it again, I guess the best version is 10.1, is that right ?!
Yes, is this what you already tried though?

Download this if you haven't...
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

Stand alone player...

Yep, 10.1.102.64 is the absolute latest for our PPC Macs.
I did exactly what you said, still asking for additional plug-ins (I'm using firefox btw), those plug-ins couldn't be found automatically and I don't know how to add them manually...
BTW, the flash player is working for some websites...
Thank you!
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

Then Test Adobe Shockwave & Flash Players...

Look in this folder...
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Do you have these 2 files, if so what is the date on them & the permissions?
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Do you mean the Stand Alone Player, or that flash displays in the Browser on some sites?
PowerPC is dead and both unsupported by Apple as well as by Adobe , get over it .
What will you do with your outdated internet plugins ? They are insecure and technically behind. Flash is at version 11 as we speak. No doubt next year it will be v 12 - so in a foreseeable time you will not be able to use flash at all. Same goes for Java , Browsers and all other software. Then your PowerPC is good for nothing, except to use offline old apps.
I do have those 2 files in the Internet plug-ins folder, the date is October 11th which is yesterday when I installed the flash player.
I mean the flash displays in the browser on some sites, I don't know how the stand alone flash works...
Thank you so much! 🙂
That wasn't so helpful, I love my Mac because it's old, I bought it when I was a child so it's hard to throw it in the trash now!
I appreciate your help regarding my case, but please keep your thoughts to yourself!
Thanks or Danke! 😉
Some sites may require a newer version of Flash, which leaves us out of the picture. To use a stand alone layer you need to be abe to download the Flash file...

Then you can use Glash Player in Applications, or the free 3rd party...
