Flash Player for Mac OS X 10.4.11 PowerPC G5

Hey Everyone!


Okay, first before anyone says anything, I've already read the other discussions on this subject and none of them have helped. So, I'm adding one myself.


Pleaseeeeeee Please please, could you help?


Here it goes, I cannot utilize my Flash Player anymore - you all know what a pain that is. I now keep getting notices that I have an "unsupported operating system." I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC G5. Adobe, as you all know, no longer supports the system. I have tried everything to get my Flash Player back-up and running, with no progress. Including this and it didn't work for me:



http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip


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! 😟




Please help!!!!!! I really need my Flash Player, up and running again.😢


Anyone know of any other application that will work? 😢


Thank you for any help you could give me.

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.


The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.


Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Thanks so much, Texas Tom. You made my day.


Now I can run MOG.com on my PPC with OS X Tiger 10.4.11.


For those who don't know, MOG is a music streaming service as good, or better than Spotify. Both the free and premium service streams in 320 kbps, where you have to pay for Spotify to get that.


I have a question, though:


Will this fix still work as Adobe keeps updating Flash Player? Currently they are up to version 12 and this fix works for Flash Player 11.


Thanks.
