I just got an older iMac g5 but not Intel processor and I want to upgrade to snow leopard or get flash player 11 to play games can I do that new to mac
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), I need flash player 11
10.5.8 was complied for Universal binaries. One version of each routine for PowerPC like the G5, one version for Intel processors.
10.6 dropped the universal binaries and went Intel-only. You will never install it on your G5.
adobe says this is the latest verion of Flash for 10.5:
Flash Player 10.3.183.90 Mac OS X 10.5
Time for a new(er) computer if you still want to run that stuff.
There was a suggestion of how to fool a PPC Mac into running flash content with a patched version that made the system 'think' it has a later one. In some cases this works.
"...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..."

see link below* for flash 11.5 later patch than one in this ASC page
To see what your computer is running and for links to 'standard Adobe flash player' versions:
•Flash Player Help - Adobe Flash Player:

•Unofficial - *Adobe Flash 11.5 for PowerPC:

The rules for uninstalling the older or former player are not the same,
note there are methods inside the unofficial update to follow. And as
things change over time, Flash player is a moving target that not all
systems or patches could hope to keep up with. You update only part
of the Flash player, I'd save the older part in a separate folder, just in
case the patch doesnt help all that much. It works in my PPC 10.5.8.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
