Loading Flash Player 9 on PPC Mac - need help

Hi!
I am trying to load Flash Player 9 onto my Mac but it won't
work. I've tried everything I could find on this forum (and yes, I
did read all 87 posts on the topic). Anyway, my Mac is a Power PC
G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and my browser is Safari 3.1.
Every time I try to load, it takes me back to the downloads
page on the Adobe website. I've used the uninstaller & tried
reinstalling - no luck. I've tried changing the items mentioned in
QuickTime - no luck. I've even tried using the code with the
Terminal - no luck. Disk permissions - no luck.
Any other suggestions before I take a hammer to my machine??
Thanks!

I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

  • Flash player site is cycling, need help

    I have had a few flash player apps crashing on loading, went to check for a flash update, and http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ is not loading either. White page, stuck refreshing every second or so. Is this my end, adobe end or something in the middle?

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

    Trying to install flash player on a Mac. I keep getting an error message that I need to turn close Safari to continue. I don't have Safari open. How do I get past this impediment?

    What Pat said:
    Open Safari
    From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
    You can now proceed with the installation.

  • For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here.  Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
    On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model  it was reading).
    Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard  install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run. 
    Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
    The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
    It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
    Good luck on working this one out.

  • HT1752 Flash player on PPC G4 Tiger 10.4.11  Can't update to latest because it's intel.  What do I do?

    I have lost the ability to play games needing flash player on PPC G4 Tiger 10.4.11  Can't update to latest because update is for intel, my PPC is not.  What do I do?  I've tried loading the archived ones but can't really figure out what the last update for my situation is.  One day everything worked fine--the next day it didn't.  Someone hit a button that has complicated my enjoyment of Pogo Games.  Pogo is of no use.  The have no customer service.  Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    Maybe the site, itself, got updated for use with newer, updated Flash versions.
    They could have done this any time. Maybe they just decided recently to update the site.
    Are there any changes to the look of the site or any other indications that the site has been updated?
    The site may have, indeed, put up a warning about downloading the latest Adobe Flash Player.
    When a site does this, you're, basically, out of luck.
    That is the problem with online game sites that use Flash for these games.

  • Problem loading flash player...

    I am running windows xp sp3 ....... I down loaded the flash player 10. 102. 64 . everything went as planned ...the only place I could find evidence that the player downloaded was by going in to the control panel and add or remove software feature. It showed that it loaded it...but showed no memory occupation. While in Control panel, I highlighted the new flash player entry. and it simply showed a link to adobe support. So, I am here trying to help solve by providing my input.
    I logged on as System admin, killed the virus software processes, and downloaded it all again after having removed the previous version. Same Results
    I have taken several approaches with no success...each time going into the control panel and noting the entry of the flash player 10 with no mem. size being their.  I then uninstalled the thing using adobes DLM...it does say that it is installed and done...also it does remove the entry when uninstalling.
    I updated my java script .....once again the same results....right now ...my computer says that the flash player is loaded no memeory occupied (via control panel) but the only thing is a link to adobe....so, has any body had this experience.

    Thanks, I will revist the forum and look up the threads, I need all the help I can get, You have a great Christmas.
    I too will do without streaming videos , until after the Lords bithday has been celebrated.

    Hi, The Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player. There will be no size or any info in Control Panel/Add/Remove/Programs & Features.
    Check a couple of recent threads or click on my name to several threads I have posted on helping users with the same issue.
    Company coming in for the Christmas weekend and my time right now is limited.
    On those threads you'll see the info you need.
    Hope that helps,

  • Flash Player update for Mac OS X 10.5.8

    Does anyone have any ideas how to update my flash player on my Mac?  It has the following: OS X 10.5.8 which has a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.  I tried updating directly from the Adobe forum related to this, but it only lists the option from 10.6 to 10.10 now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

    If you're on an Intel Mac, you can probably complete the installation.  I don't *think* we'll block you at install time.  That said, we're using the MacOS 10.6 SDK, so there may be problems.  You should be eligible for a free upgrade to Yosemite, and you might want to consider it. 
    Running a Flash Player from the archives means that you're missing all of the security fixes that have been shipped since that build was initially released.  If you're surfing the web, this is generally a pretty bad ideal, even on Mac.  You're going to be much safer running current versions of the OS and Flash Player.

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
