Which version of Flash Player is best for Powerbook G4 10.5.8?

Hi,
I have a Powerbook g4 17" 1.67ghz with 2gb of ram and 128mb video.
I thought this would be pretty good on the web but even basic video clips play poorly.
Looking around flash seeems to be the culprit so is it better to run an older version of flash or is there anything i can do?
Also how can i tell which version i am running?
Thnaks.

I'm afraid nothing will completely fix streaming video problems on any PPC-based Mac since web video is now optimised for Intel processors. Probably the best functionality you can hope for is by following Texas Mac Man's advice in this recent thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/17558876#17558876
The hack Tom has found has some advantages over the standard Flash Player version when used in conjunction with specific websites.
To find out which version of Flash you currently have installed open a Flash video stream and control click on the window. Amongst other things this will display the version information.

  • How to identify which version of Flash Player?

    I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.5.  When I go to "Get Info" to see which version of Flash Player is installed, I can't see any version listed.  I can only see date modified (28 July 2010), copyright dates, file size etc.  So I don't know whether I need to upgrade to Flash Player 10.1 or whether I'm already running that version.  Any help please?

    Hi, this is the site for older versions: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    I would suggest if you can to Download and SAVE the Installer version to your Desktop.
    Be sure to use the Uninstaller to remove the 10.1 first. You can download it and SAVE it to your Desktop.
    I'd review the Uninstall instructions to make sure you have a clean Uninstall.

    After you have those on your Desktop and following the instructions for Uninstall, then Close all browsers. Uninstall, then reboot and follow that with the Install and then reboot.

  • Which version of Oracle database is best for Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium? Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?

    EssbaseApprentice wrote:
    Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium?That's easy to answer, none . No oracle database version was released for Home(Premimum) series. There are several blog posts/articles which do mention that they have installed oracle releases over Home(Premium) platforms but whether it would work or not, it would be just a lottery and help regarding troubleshooting would not be there.
    Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?You mean 10g Express Edition and 10g Enterprise, Standard Editions? If yes, then there is indeed difference. The Express edition is more like a developer's playground with a good looking GUI even there to administer it. EE or SE are the production releases , meant for being used in a very busy, highly concurrent environments. There would be additional features like RAC and Dataguard that would come with EE and wont be there in the XE. So if you are learning to become a production DBA, you should right away use EE or SE IMO .

  • Which version? Flash Player & Java

    I am so confused with the recent scares, news, updates,  security patches and "pop ups"  telling me I need to "do".....
    What number  version of JAVA do I need and what version of Flash Player do I need. Mtn LION 10.8.2
    What's the hub-bub from the manufacturers Oracle and Adobe,  versus from apple?

    For Java 7: version "1.7.0_17"
    For Java 6: version "1.6.0_43"
    For Adobe Flash Player: version "11.6.602.171"
    Have no answer for the overhyped scare-mongering.

  • Which version of Flash Player?

    I am using a MacBook Pro, with OSX10.5.8 and continue to get messages from Foxfire (preferred browser) that I have no Flash Player and that I can't use the most recent one, check the arhives for one that works with my old machine.  Since I am not good at sorting this out, I don't know what to look for or what to download.  This is not an Intel based machine.  Thanks for your help.

    I downloaded flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_plugin_111710.exe from the Adobe website and ran the .exe I opened Firefox and attempted to view some clips from msnbc.com. However, I received the following message:

  • Which version of Photoshop Elements is best for for my old Mac G4 iBook?

    Which version of Photoshop Elements would work on my trusty old Apple Mac iBook G4 14-inch laptop?
    The newest Mac version of this application, Photoshop Elements 6, requires 64 MB of VRAM but my G4 only has 32 MB. (regarding other system requirements, my G4 has 768 MB of memory and a 1.2 Ghz processor, and runs Mac OS 10.4.11.)
    My plan is to go to Ebay and buy some older version of Photoshop Elements but I wanted some direction as to which older version would be best.
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue. My girlfriend bought Photoshop Elements 6, but her iBook G4, which is maxed out on conventional RAM, only has 32MB of video. She bought PE 6 as the Apple Store guy told her it would work on a iBook G4. He clearly did not realizing there were some  iBook G4's made with 32MB and some with 64MB of video RAM. But before we break the shrink wrap on the box, which would make it unreturnable, it would be nice to know if anyone has gotten PE 6 to run on a  iBook G4 with only 32MB of RAM. I'm more concerned with whether it works, than whether it is optimal. So, does anyone know if PE 6 will run on a iBook G4 with 32MB of video RAM?

  • Which version of Airport utility works best for Windows 7?

    We've downloaded version 6, but an error window keeps coming up. Do I need an earlier version? How do I get rid of this version?
    Thanks.

    If you are running Windows 7, you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows - Support - Apple
    Delete the 6.x version that you downloaded, as it will not run on a PC.

  • Which version of flash is best for brush strokes?

    Hello,
    I am just wondering which version of flash has the best brush strokes. I am using CS6, and it constantly edits my strokes. I heard the older versions of flash have better brush strokes.
    I am an animator, and the brush tool is something I constantly use. I might have access to flash CS3 or CS4, and I heard CS3 is pretty close to the macromedia version.
    I heard toon boom animate is amazing, but when I tried it, there's no vector lines. Or maybe I am doing something wrong, but my strokes in toon boom animate are pixelated.
    I'm basically looking for a version of flash or different software, that has a brush tool that when I draw, it's what I wanted to draw, and doesn't edit my strokes. (By the way, I'm doing frame by frame animation)
    Thanks,
    Porter

    If you are planning an upgrade, Flash Professional CC 2014.1 comes with custom brushes, using which you can custom-make a brush that suits your drawing needs. You can read more about it at:

  • Is my PC too old/slow for the latest version of Flash player?

    Hello there guys.
    I wish I had noted down which version of flash player I was using before I updated to the new one, as I had not updated for a year or two and the old version worked fine but the new one does not. The symptoms of the new one I would describe in youtube videos or live streaming, the video quality is in slow motion and skips as if trying to catch up with the audio every 6 seconds or so.
    I have tried all the steps such as turning off hardware accelration, deleting excess plug-ins, only running one program at a time, ensuring its the latest version of flash, deleting flash browser data and cache and increasing storage limit.
    My PC specifications are as follows:
    AMD Athlon(tm) XP
    1.05GHz, 1.00 of RAM
    128 Mb of graphic memory
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    I am using Mozilla Firefox, the latest version as it updates itself automatically
    I tried watching HTML5 and non-HTML5 video's and both were laggy.
    I have checked the system requirements for the flash version I am having trouble with (Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.202) and it says it requires  2.33Ghz or faster to run so is it just a case of my PC is too old and slow processor to run the latest flash?
    If this is the case could someone recommend an archived version that will work for my system and using firefox.
    Many thanks,
    Simon.

    I just checked to see if it is the device driver that needs updating on NVIDIA website and got this report:
    Product
    Current
    Installed Driver
    Recommended
    Update
    GeForce FX 5200
    175.19
    Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU.  No driver update is necessary at this time.
