I have an ibook G4 and want to just use it for browsing the internet, but firefox, safari, etc. don't work properly. Flash sites don't work, etc. I tried installing icab 3.0.5, but it still didn't pull up the sites in proper format, then quit unexpectedly. How can I upgrade the computer to browse the internet?
Thanks!
iBook, Mac OS X (10.3.x)
Hello and welcome to the support community.
Which exact iBook G4 model do you own?
If you go to the apple logo top left and then to 'about this mac' let us know what it says.
Is it also the 12" or 14" iBook model?
I know what you mean with the unexpected quitting of Safari and FireFox under Mac OS X 10.3. My iBook G4 does the same. I resorted to installing tenforfox and camino
Sadly your not resolve the flash problem with any browser you use. Flash for Mac PPC (G4 iBook's) is very much out of date and can't support the current flash websites like YouTube. This would be the same for updating the OS.
You can upgrade your iBook depending on the specifications. If you let us know which version of the iBook you have, we could advise you to which would be the best version to upgrade to.
If you Google "flash fix for mac ppc" you will be referred to a youtube site with an own risk download tweak which gets flash working fine on ppc. makes all the difference, works on my ibook G4 and powerbook G4. The link is in the info beneath the youtube hacker. many grateful messages, no wonder.
Well as you know Ronda, you can install Camino on Mac OS X 10.3. Granted the link should have been to the download page for version 1.6 like Camino, but it shouldn't stop anyone following the relevant links to the correct version applicable to their version of Mac OS X. 🙂
The sites to which you've linked require Mac OS X 10.4. The original poster has requested a browser for Mac OS X 10.3.x.
