Adobe Flash Player Failure on PowerMac G5.  Please help!

I have a PowerMac G5 computer, running OSX Version 10.4.11.  Up until yesterday, the computer performed flawlessly.  Suddenly, yesterday, I get a message from Firefox (the browser I usually use), telling me that my Flash Player had been disabled because I did not have the most up-to-date version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I investigated, I found out that the newest version was NOT compatible with my computer.  So I tried reinstalling the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player that IS compatible and have had no success.  When I go in to System Preferences and click on the Adobe Flash Player pane (under other), I get a message reading "could not load Adobe Flash Player."  What can I do?   Someone out there must know how to handle this.  I'm not in a position to purchase a new computer, and I desperately need Flash Player for some of the websites I use quite often.  I'm really frustrated and keep being given the "runaround."  Certainly there must be some way to fix this so that I can still run Flash Player on my computer!    HELP !!!

Hello, yes it's a shame that they don't even test for our PPC Macs anymoreto see if the Update is applicable... which it isn't!
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/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_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!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

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 leter version installed.

  • While trying to fix a blocked plug-in problem, I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot reinstall.  Help!! Please.

    I am trying to fix a blocked plug-in.  I unstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot re install.  Any help would be appreciated.

    More info. Why can't you reinstall? Something is preventing reinstalling? If so what? What occurs when you try?
    Or you don't know how to reinstall?

  • Adobe Flash Player stopped potentially unsafe operation - Experts, help!

    Greetings!  This message is posted in this section (and in Flash Player, too) because the primary program I am using for my webste is Dreamweaver.  So, if you can help me, I would really appreciate it....
    This message above made me very nervous.  Here's the rest of what the message said:
    In the Title Bar - It reads "Adobe Flash Player Security"
    Then in the message section:
    The following local application on your computer or network:
    C:\ (the address of my index page - using Dreamweaver & Flash CS3)\index.html
    is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
    s.ytimg.com
    To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
    You must restart the application after changing your settings.
    Then - buttons with the choices "OK" and "Settings..."
    So, in addition to this pop up message, now when I link to some (not all) of my newer pages, the nav bar no longer works when I'm on that linked page.
    I'm pretty worried that I've done something really wrong or that a virus is going to take down my site.
    Can anyone provide me with encouraging help that will resolve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    It's simply a reference to the YouTube video. When viewing pages locally and not live on the server, adding security exceptions may be required, so I don't think it is anything out of the ordinary...

  • Adobe Flash Player slow, jerky, and I NEED HELP A.S.A.P.

    Hello everybody, and how are you all doing on this wonderful Friday?
    Today after doing research on the support website for Adobe ShockWave flash player, I'm here as a last resourt.
    Allow me to explain the issue!
    WARNING:
    THIS IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY LONG, BUT I NEED HELP VERY VERY BADLY!!
    I've waisted people's time because of this issue.
    I'm using an HP Windows 7 Laptop with latest version of Windows 7!
    I have Adobe ShockWave 11.7 the LATEST VERSION and It is a great program.
    However in one of my simulators which is a V500  Evita Ventilator simulator from the company Drager, the performance is HORRID, and when I say horrid, I mean HORRID TIMES 30 and then some.
    Keep in mind that this has been tested by the company on other computers, and it works just fine, however on mine the waveforms and data is choppy, slow and what it will do is it will be working smoothly one second, the next second It lags and then catches up, then lags again, and It basically drags along miserably. I used this program online and then when I contacted Drager the owners of the simulator, they thought I get a DVD of the simulator. THEY GAVE IT TO ME FREE OF CHARGE. I got it, and It was still slow and Jerky. I had used Google Chrome to use the simulator online HOWEVER, when I used the DVD, It was still slow. I have a LOAD of computer space, and have tried uninstalling Adobe Shockwave, Reinstalling it, then doing that several times. NOTHING. NOW WHAT??
    I'm desperate right now. When I say DESPERATE, THIS HAS GOT TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLY POSSIBLE.
    ASAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Is there some setting I can adjust?
    Or SOMETHING???
    The thing is other things that require Adobe Shockwave work just fine. I use a lot of simulators.
    Its just this simulator.
    PLEASE RESPOND!!
    THANK YOU, and God bless.

  • Can't install Adobe Flash Player or latest update and need help to determine corrective action to take.

    When I try to download latest version of Flash Player get a box showing downloads but there isn't anything in the box.

    Well, that should mean that nothing is running in realtime and should not interfere as McAfee would. I think this version of Ad-Aware was an On-Demand, you ran it when you wanted to, it didn't run automatically, is that correct?
    Was the HJT just on the Desktop?
    When you left click on Ad-Aware what happens? We can remove it, but it isn't causing a problem now so we'll do that later.
    Did you have any ad block? What about pop-up blocker software installed?
    In your Manage Add ons, the All add ons, can you pull out all ActiveX Controls(list them?) If not don't worry about it.
    When you first began having problems, did you try to Install an older version of Flash Player thinking that would work?
    Are there any other Anti-Virus/Spyware that you had installed before that wasn't Uninstalled that may still be running in realtime?
    I'm trying to determine what caused the ActiveX Control error.
    Do you know how to find the Flash folder? If not, I do. Just tell me.
    Thanks,
    eidnolb
         P.S. I just noticed your last post. I'll check on that Wise Uninstall. Someone had that and I forgot what it was for. Will have to find the thread, first I had ever heard of it. Thanks

  • Upgrade adobe flash player on windows 8 ?

    How do I upgrade adobe flash player on windows 8?
    Please help some one..

    It depends on your web browser of choice, not OS. If you use IE or FireFox, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and you will be able to download and install the lastest version of Flash Player.
    Chrome has it's own built in Flash Player that updates silently in the background, but you can use the link in Chrome to install the standard Flash Player as well. Then you just need to modify the settings for Chrome to look to the standard Flash Player instead of the one built into Chrome. But that usually requires a specific need.
    I've also moved this to the Flash Player Forum.
