I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

  • I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

    1)  Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
    DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

  • Why do I keep getting the screen saying to update to FoxFire 4 when I have downloaded it twice?

    I keep getting a screen that encourages me to update to FoxFire 4. I have downloaded FoxFire 4 twice, but I keep getting the other screen.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to 3.6.6 the first time

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • Trying to access Apple Store and keep getting a message saying it's being updated saying the same thing in different languages, been like this for about 4 hours now?

    First time I'm trying to access the Apple Store on my iMac and for the last few hours I have a message in various languages saying it is being updated.

    It is down the world over. Apple is announcing new iPhones (and perhaps more) today at a press conference near Apple HQ in California USA at 12:00 o'clock noon, Pacific Day-light Savings Time. You can expect the Apple Store, updated with the new products, to come back online shortly after the press conference.

  • I only use Safari but keep getting a message saying I need to update MS Explorer

    How do I stop getting pop-ups saying MS Explorer is out of date?  I only use Safari. The pop-up started a couple of days ago and comes at irregular intervals. It seems to appear only when I visit certain websites, but I am not sure about that.  At any rate, when I leave the pop-up, it kicks me out of the website I was visiting.   I have not downloaded anything as I fear it might be Malware, especially since I've had my IMAC for several years, it is up to date according to the "Check for Updates"  and I have never gotten this pop-up message before.

    Hello again Carolyn,
              I have waited several days now and the problem has not returned!  While cleaning up my Cookie Folder, I deleted  anything I didn't recognize including some caches and that seems to have solved the problem. To be sure, I have not finished cleaning up the cookie folder yet - I only got through the files that began with C.
    Thanks for the link - it pointed me in the right direction. 
    By the way, I never downloaded the so-called Windows Explorer Update and that may be the reason why the problem was fixed.

    Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.

    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
    Google Mail recently implemented additional security measures "for your protection" of course. The manifestation of that may be the requirement to create a unique, "application-specific" password for each one of the various Google services you may use. That requirement probably includes Google Mail. So if the above Apple Support document doesn't resolve the problem, research Google's application-specific password requirements, and how to configure Mail to use it.
    I asked the Hosts to edit or obscure the email address in your post.
