I have a power mac OSX version 10.5 but firefox says my system is not compatible for firefox 4 download. What else can I use?

My main problem is that I cannot seem to download flashplayer 10.1. Adobe says to try downloading another browser such as firefox. I click on that and it says firefox 4 is not compatible with my computer. HELP

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Or use Firefox 3.6.17: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I have a power mac g3 it boots fine but mouse and key board do not work

The mac boots fine, I can see desk top, etc. The key board and mouse are connected but do not appear to work. This has just happened.

You could take it to a service center but: 1) It would probably cost more than the computer is worth. 2) You'd be lucky to find somebody who knows what a G4 is (maybe I exaggerate but really, they would laiugh at anything that "old"). 3) I don't think we're done here.
Do you still have the original discs. One of them has a hardware test that you can run. You could also see
if it boots to the original disc and if things still won't work. You could even try OS9.
Also look into CUDA reset and NVRAM reset. I think they are both references in the link I provided earlier.

If it really turns out to be the USB hardware that's bad you could probably find a third party USB card you could slip in there for next to nothing and would also give you USB2 speeds. There's minor disadvantages.
Oh, did we determine if it really isn't working at any stage? What about if you hold down the mouse key while booting the computer? That should open the optical drive door if it is being sensed.

I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my dashboard and my mouse still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appen when i was talking with a friend on Skype. I need help to unlook

I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my desktop and my mouse, i mean the arrow and still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appened when i was talking with a friend on Skype, by error i did click on the video and slowly the vertical lines appeared and covered all ma desktop. Since then, it still there and the only things i see it is the vertical lines and the arrow with the little square.
How can i fix this problem ?
En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

Hello, sounds like Video card and/or heat problems.
Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

I have a MAC OSx Dual 2GHz Power PC G5, the OS is 10.4.11 I want to upgrade to 10.5.8 it won't allow me. It says the system is not compatible. What can I do ??????

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 dual 2 GHz power PC G5. I want to upgrade the OS to 10.5.8. Everytime I try to upgrade with the discs that I bought for 10.5.2 The error message is " This operating system is not compatible " Should I do a backup and then format the drive. Will it then load on a formatted drive ????????

If these are gray colored disks, forget it. They won't work.
You need to purchase the full retail discs that are black, star background with large "X" on the disc.
You could try Apple at 1-800-MY APPLE and ask for retail software sales to see if they still have a stock of these for sale.
I would tell them you just bought a new iPhone or iPad and your version of the OS doesn't work with either.
They may try to see if they can locate a copies they can still sell to you.
The OEM retail price $129
You maybe able to still find this on Amazon, but you pay a lot more for a new disc.
This OS is over 5 years old.

Trying to add titles in IMovie. Using IMovie 8.0.6 and Mac OSX version 10.6.8. When I try to add titles IMovie shuts down. What do I need to do to stop the shut downs?

I can not add Titles in IMovies. When I click on the Titles, IMovie shuts down. I am using Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 and IMovies version 8.0.6
Was able to add some Titles yesterday, but had some problems with shut downs. Today I can not get past clicking on Titles without a shutdown

DK Flash,
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3310 but you have 10.6.8. So this shouldn't apply. But just in case.
This had to do with the Far Far Away title causing iMovie to quit.
Try clearing caches and plist.
Do the behavior persist in a new user on the computer?

Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the instructions from the following document?

I am running mac osx 10.5.8, but FireFox is giving me a message that it is not compatible with my version of osx and will not let me install. The web site says it is compatible with osx 10.5. Am I missing something?

I was able to download the current version of FireFox but when I tried to install, I got a message that FireFox is not compatible with my current os. What else should I consider or try doing to get FireFox to work?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.

'''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 but it says Firefox 4 is incompatible when I try to open it

I had a previous version of Firefox installed and after I replaced it with Firefox 4 I get " You cannot use the application "Firefox" with this version of MAC OSX" and the app will not open. I'm using Mac osx 10.4.11 and I don't see anything in the knowledge base regarding this.

Firefox 4 is not compatible with Mac PPC. If that is you're OS, you'll want to revert to Firefox 3.6.15 found here: [http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.15/mac/en-US/ http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.15/mac/en-US/]

I have an older mac (OS 10.4.11) but my girls got new ipod shuffles. They need itunes 10.5, we can't run it. What are our options?

Oh cool. I can write more here!
My son is in Texas. We are in Maine. He sent his sisters new ipod shuffle 2GB. Our old ipods work fine on itunes 9.0, but these new ones require itunes 10.5 - which we, apparently, cannot run on our mac OS 10.4.11.
The girls each have $25 gift certificates to spend on their music at the itunes store, but we can't use any of it. What do we do??? Help!!!!

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

I have Firefox 5.0.1, and a theme I want to download says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1, but at the top it says that it is not available for my platform. What do I do?

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1, and one of the themes I want to download and try out says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1. At the top, though, it says that the theme is not available for my platform. It has happened with some other themes as well, but I didn't check what versions they work with. I don't know what this means or what to do about it. The theme is at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/addon/bloomind-ft-deepdark-2/

It says:
<blockquote>"Bloomind FT DeepDark 2" is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for Windows users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux (I can t test it on MAC, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, you can force download and install it).</blockquote>
So try to save that file via the right-click context menu.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.
