how can I download flash player 10.3 to my mac 10.4.11?

I accidentally uninstalled my flash player and now get a message that Flash is not compatible to power pc's. How can I install an older version of flash, 10.3?

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

You can't use 10.3 on a PPC Mac.


The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html


You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.


* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html


You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
