It won't let me get adobe or flash.

I have an old MacBook and because of that it has a lot of problems with adobe and java. How do I get it fixed? I tryed twice, but it didn't work out. And it's killing me that i can't use so many programs and websites.


Please, someone must be out there that will know what exactly i need to do.


Kind regards, Sebastian Basse...


You can also contact on my email, because then i will reply faster. And by the way, i do not mind writting english, but i'm from Denmark, so it would be awesome if you could speak danish.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

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,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.


* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. 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!):


http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html


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


After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:


When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.

If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced

click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.


You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.

Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)

And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf


(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)


Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc 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.

Java kan ikke opdateres paa dit system.

User uploaded fileTRANSLATE: The program Install adobe flash player ended unexpected, .. .... . .



This doesn't seem so easy. Even though you gave me instructions, it just seems to difficult and i tried all the things that you wrote even though i had a hard time understand everything.


I just want to see videos on facebook, download spotify, using my online bank etc.

This just seems endless.

Not all Flash videos can play on a PPC Mac. Did you also try this?
