Flash and Mac Power PCs..

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with my dual GHz G5 power PC mac and Flash. Recently, all of a sudden sites that use flash have been causing both firefox (3.6.21) and safari to crash so I decided to uninstall flash and download the most up to date version (I have up until recently been offline for a while). Obviously then I discovered that flash for power PCs is not made any more so I had to download the most recent PPC version (10.1 I believe). However, now that I have installed this, the same problem keeps happening.
Does this mean that I am unable to get the right version of flash and that my G5, which is only 6 years old, will now be largely unable to properly browse the net? I know that Macs now use intel processors but surely I have some option?!
Thanks in advance guys

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, but I have already done this but it doesn't seem to be working properly. When I click on the flash install icon a box appears with the adobe logo and two smaller boxes inside that are clickable, but that have no writing on them. There is also a smaller box to the left of the larger one that I an click on and make a tick appear, which then allows me to click on the right hand box. I am then asked to type in my password and then it takes me to a progress bar but still absolutely no text..
I have no idea whats going wrong! Any other ideas?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You are correct that the latest version of Flash Player no longer supports PPCs.  However, you can grab the last release of Flash Player to support PPC here:

  • Learning about Bold 9000 and Mac Power Book

    I bought a BB Bold 9000 in Panama with instructions in Spanish.  I am now trying to use it in the US (although I will soon be back in Panama).  I would like to make more use of the E-mail features in combination with my Power Book and to move pictures from the BB to the Power Book.  Right now I am stymied by the instructions that I am getting from BB (both on the device and on this web site).  
    Can anyone suggest how to synch my two puzzling non-communicating devices?  I have not received any e-mails on the BB since Christmas.

  • Flash and MAC OS

    Hi,
    I have another issue in FlashHelp. I have included a flash
    file inside a topic and I have generated the flashhelp output. The
    output is fine in Windows XP, but when I view the same in Mac OS,
    the flash file inside the topic is gets corrupted, i.e. the links
    in the flash file do not work and the bullets in the flash file are
    not properly aligned. I would like to know if there is any update
    that must be done in Mac OS for the flash file to work properly in
    the FlashHelp output.
    Anje

    Hi Anje
    I think the first test should be to take the topic where
    things go to pot, then simply try and display the flash file all by
    itself on the Mac OS. This should confirm that it is indeed the
    Flash Player on the Mac and not possibly the way RoboHelp is
    handling the file. Then possibly update the Flash player on the
    Mac?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Flash and mac-lion future of conflict

    hello - i realize that apple and adobe have had a bit of a feud recently.
    i tried out a flash application that required a security question in the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" window, and the left-click no longer works.  this is apparently a very well documented problem:
    http://avchathq.com/blog/how-to-allow-access-to-webcam-in-flash-with-os-x-lion/
    my question:  is adobe going to address this issue anytime soon? 
    i am very surprised (and a little disappointed) that adobe has not been addressed yet, since lion has been out for a couple of months now!
    it seems the future of flash is in question because of apple-iPad and iPhone, but i didnt think there was a problem on the desktops and laptops too!
    thank you.

    This was a problem with Lion and the previous version of Flash Player (which was released, iirc, before Lion was released to the public) but it was addressed for most systems with our latest 10.3.183.7 build that is available here.  There is one known issue with a certain model iMac/video card combination (Model Identifier: iMac7,1/ATI,Radeon HD2600) that still exhibits this issue.  We're working closely with Apple and ATI to address it as soon as possible.

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

  • Why is my Internet connection hanging on both MacBook and Mac mini, but not PCs, Xbox, or iOS devices?

    I have a MacBook pro and Mac mini both running the latest version of lion.  I've had this issue with my MacBook for sometime now, but just dealt with it and figured it was isolated, but now I am finding its not.
    Essentially, I will open up safari, or Chrome, and the first few pages will load fine.  Sometimes I will get lucky and be able to browse normally, but after awhile, safari just hangs there and stops loading.  I can close the window, and open a few more pages before it does it again.  Both my mini and MacBook do this, but only on my home network.  My MacBook runs perfectly fine on my work wi if, and other wi fis, so I definitely know its my home modem.  If I wait it out I can surf the Internet again, but this dead time is absolutely killing me. It just randomly stalls, on both computers.
    I current have time Warner cable roadrunner, with a cable modem gateway.  The issue was happening on a straight connection.  I had hoped getting a time capsule and connecting to that network would solve things, but it didn't.  Interestingly enough, my Pcs, Xbox,and all 4 of my iPads and iPhones work just fine on the wifi, so there has to be a communication issues with the MacBook and mini with the cable router.
    I've tried messing with lions network DNS servers and tried opendns ones, but those didn't work.  Sometimes I can fix the problem for a few hours by power cycling the modem and router, but I shouldn't  have to do that over and over every time it's an issue.  I've also tried removing and adding the wi if connections, but that.works for a minute or two and then the problem resumes.
    Now, I have my time capsule connected to the gateway, and tuned the time Warner modem wireless off, which didn't help of course, but at least I'm properly backed up.
    I'm not sure what the issue is.  I've even tried typing an ip address of apple during a dead time to see if that worked and didn't.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?  I'm pretty much at my wits end in this, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Adobe flash player 11.7 exists for mac power PC?

    I have a Mac Power PC with leopard 10.5.5 and I need Adobe Flash Player 11.7.

    Not really possible, but there may be a workaround:
    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 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC 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 first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (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.

  • Flash Player Problems with Mac Power PC

    I have tried all the suggestions on this forum about how to install Flash Player for a Power PC Mac running 10.5.8. I still get the notice to install Flash Player. Is there something else that could be wrong? I ran the debugger, don't have any firewalls running etc. I finally got it to download and install but where is it going?

    Hi Chris,
    I used this link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/895134?tstart=0
    Where you said the following,
    'Please try the following:
    1. Follow the instructions for uninstalling Flash Player on the Mac: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
    2. Mount the flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg and try installing again
    3. If it still fails, right click on "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents". 
    4. Navigate into the /Contents/Resources/ folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file.
    Thanks,

    It didn't help though.
    I tried step 4 and the installer says, "You cannot install. There is nothing to install."
    So now, what am I to do??
    Thanks.

  • Officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing

    I have an officejet pro 8000 and the power and resume lights keep flashing. I initially had the problem when I put a new black ink cartridge in. Lately there was an error message on the computer saying pump stall error, which then culminated in a print head error. I have replaced the print head at an extra £40 I have replaced all the ink cartridges which say they are low even though I haven't been printing. Basically spent the cost of the printer again  AND I STILL CANT PRINT! I'm using a Mac with snow leopard and I have reset the printer list and installed the new software and drivers. I have tried connecting with USB and Ethernet. I have filled up the paper. I have taken out the duplex and given it all a blow through. reset the print heads - basically everything the support web pages told me to do.
    I have to say this is the worse printer I have ever had from HP. I always buy HP because of the quality. I have to say I feel unless this problem is solved with out me spending more money on it I will have to buy something else - and not HP ever! oh and the warranty is out by less than 2 months!

    Welcome back burtf,
    I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your Officejet 8500 showing a message for you to turn the printer off and on. I would recommend following the guide below for this issue.
    I hope it helps!

  • Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

    I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
    Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
    Background
    I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
    A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
    We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
    Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
    Ques 1
    Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
    Ques 2
    Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
    Ques 3
    When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
    Ques 4
    It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
    Ques 5
    Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
    Ques 6
    Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Hi Guy,
    I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
    Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
    If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
    You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
    I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
    Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
    Hope this helps with your decision.

    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
