Is there a way to get system back to a usable version,after reloading from disk that came with the computer?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.3.x), iMac G5 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 10.3.9
Yes, go to Apple.com and then to downloads, download the combo update of 10.5.8
Which version of OS X are you actually running?
The version it says under about this is OS X 10.3.9 I was given this Mac and don't know much about them.The disk had an older version on them I guess .I updated as far as it will let me from here.I had to go to library to even post these pleas for help.
I'm tring to save the files to a flash drive so I can take them back to see if this will work.My computer doesn't show links to download now either,I am thankfull for any help.
Your very old version of OS X, and the version of Safari it can support, are no longer able to cope with today's flash videos and other steamed material from the internet.
You should try to obtain OS 10.5 Leopard from either eBay or Amazon. The the final version of Leopard is 10.5.8 and is the last version of OS X your iMac can support.
Make sure you obtain a black retail disk, and not somebody's grey update disk which will not work on your iMac.
When you have managed to install whatever version of Leopard it might be, you can update it 10.5.8 from here:

then use software update to update all the various applications from Apple.
I had reloaded osx on iMac G5 from the disk and now can't look at youtube and yahoo say my sarafi not supported .How can I get system to update so I can get support back?
