Can iMac G5 play games on PBS website?

I have a chance to get a free 1.9GHz G5 iMac with 2GB of RAM. Pretty well loaded for it's age. Will this play games on PBS website? I'm thinkning I'll give it to my daughter if it does.

Yes it should.

Why can't I play games on my iPad, it says my device don't support the systen

Why can't I play games on my I-pad? When I go to pogo it says my device don't support the syatem

iOS does not have native support for Flash content. If you want to play Flash games, you can download Photon from the Appstore. It is $4.99. It allows you to view Flash content and play Flash games byconnexting to a remote server that streams content back to your iDevice. It is the perect solution until more web pages embrace HTML 5. I hope this solution helps you. God bless.

Why can I only play games on my phone when connected to wifi?

That means you didn't do it properly. Use that article, make sure you do see those tracks in itunes and they do not have clouds next to them before you sync.

Can't load facebook flash games completely, can load and play games anywhere else

I have adobe flash player 10.2 for firefox installed. I've got 3.5.18 Firefox. Up until about February I was able to play flash games just fine, even with an apparently outdated Firefox and flash player 10.
Then I suddenly couldn't completely load games like Frontierville or Treasure Isle. No matter what I would do; including clearing the cache, clearing temporary internet files, reloading the page repeatedly, restarting my computer and uninstalling/reinstalling my flash plugin and my browser, the loading screen would hang at about 98% completion. This is now a common issue across the site for me. No games at all will load.
I can go to any other site however, and play any flash movie or flash game I wish. It will load properly, and play as normal.
Any and all addictinggames.com games and any and all miniclip.com games work just fine, as an example.

I have played the facebook games on firefox, they run perfectly fine on firefox. no problem with the games. All the games are working fine. Facebook games, chrome games or be it online games, they work absolutely fine on my firefox. There might be some problem with your computer. Try to fix it yourself. My firefox runs absolutely fine. The favicon on my site is a movable one which keeps sliding. Even the favicon works on my firefox which does not work on Google chrome. Internet explorer completely messes up my website but firefox is absolutely working good. I play games on [[Racing Games|http://www.racinggames9.com/]] and i haven't had any problem with any of the games here. Miniclip is also working fine on my firefox.

I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Firefox, why can I not play games?

I have done everything Firefox has told me, in order to play games. I cannot play games on msn, pogo, etc. The game loads, the screen changes and nothing happens. The screen stays blank.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, and in most cases the paths are listed in the Windows registry. Firefox 21 changed the location of a "shared" plugin folder so those installers that do not include the path in the registry may strand the plugin in the obsolete location. The solution is in this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].

Why can't I play games on Facebook?

When I try to play games on Facebook it takes me to Google play store or it says I need to download adobe flash player. That is why I downloaded this App because it's suppose to be better than photon. This browser is suppose to have the flash player as well but won't let me play games on Facebook. I don't want to have to delete it already.

We cannot distribute Flash Player with our browser. You need to get Flash Player from Adobe. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-watch-flash-videos-firefox-android

Why can I not play games or take photos with my new ipad mini?

I think I know. Try rebooting your device. Once I couldn't open an app and rebooting worked! :)

Why can't I play games on my brand-new iMac late 2013?

Every time I try to play a game on my iMac, the screen looks like it freezes or lags so I cannot even close the game, or even close the iMac, so all I can do is force shut down it. Any suggestions except giving it back to the store I bought it? Did I spend 2249 Euros for nothing?

For Grand Theft Auto, the only version I found that "Officially" still run native on the Mac and are in the Mac App Store are Grand Theft Auto II I released in 2010-2011 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City released in 2012.
The more recent versions of GTA IV and V are PC ONLY. NO official Mac OS X version for these.
There are no other versions available on the Mac App Store! so those should run on your Mac with little issues as it is designed to run on OS X 10.6.6 and later OS X versions.

AND, the GTA web link does not mention any support for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 OR 10.10.
So, I am not sure what versions of these games you purchased and where, but it would appear the recent versions of these games are NOT OS X supported.
You would need to install the proper version of Windows on your Mac to play these games.
If you are running the latest Tomb Raider that is available on the Mac App Store either Tomb Raider Essential or Tomb Raider Underworld, both should be able to run on your Mac. Tomb Raider Underworld runs on OS X 10.6.6 or later and Tomb Raider Essentials runs on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks and later.
You might be having issues with these on OS X 10.10 Yosemite as users are still having issues with the new OS X.
Did you ever play these under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?.
I suspect issues with these games under Yosemite as Yosemite, itself, uses more hardware overhead. Based on numerous issues posted here about Yosemite, seems Yosemite is more taxing on both RAM and the GPU.

I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

I have an iMAC and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Why can't I play games in Facebook?

It keeps saying I need adobe flash to play but that's not supported by apple. Is there a work around?

Hi,
Two different operating systems. One the Mac OS X, two, is for iPads, it's iOS. Games for iPads won't run on a Mac and vice versa.
However, you can always check the developer site for the game to see if it's available for the Mac OS X.
If you are running Snow Leopard v10.6 and have the Mac App Store installed, there are Facebook apps available there.
