Question :
Jun 23, 2018 Whatever the older Macintosh computer is, to make it useful nowadays you’d likely want to find and download some old Mac software for it. This post will aggregate a collection of links and resources for finding and downloading old Mac software, including old Mac system software, old Macintosh applications, and more, for everything from older Intel Macs, to PowerPC Macs, to 68040. Pre-Owned iBook G4 1.33 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB internal drive, internal Combo Drive, internal 56k modem, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth installed, 12.1' TFT display, OS CD is not included, OS 10.4.11. Here it goes, I cannot utilize my Flash Player anymore - you all know what a pain that is. I now keep getting notices that I have an 'unsupported operating system.' I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC G5. Adobe, as you all know, no longer supports the system. I have tried everything to get my Flash Player back-up and running, with no progress. I have an iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and I really would like to watch youtube videos, but it is very choppy and generally impossible to watch! I've read over this thread: and it suggests changing the power to Best Performance, turning off hardware acceleration, and upping the Flash cache size to 10MB, all of which I have done.
I’m browsing the internet from my G4 (or G5) Mac, and I get a message that I need to update my version of Flash. But when I go to the Adobe Flash download page, I can only download Flash for the new Intel-Macs… what can I do ?
Answer :
The latest versions of Flash for PPC-Macs (like G4 and G5 Macs) are curiously hidden on Adobe’s website… Here’s how you can download & install :
– go to the regular Flash download page :
– then click on the line Different operating system or browser?
– if you would select anything here, you would see that there’s only versions for intel-Macs here, so click on click here (from the line “If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, click here for older versions of Adobe Flash Player.”)
– If you scroll down that page, you’ll find a table that indicates which version of Flash is the latest one that’s compatible with your G4/G5-Mac’s version of OSX. At the moment I’m writing this, the latest version for “Mac OS X 10.4+ (Power PC processor)” is Flash Player 10.1.102.64, but for some curious reason you cannot download it straight from the list…
– you have to scroll down further on the page, though an enormous list of versions, to find “(Released 11/04/2010) Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)”, which is just above the “Android Flash Player versions” chapter.

– in the window that opens, click on “Install Adobe Flash Player”, and follow the instructions to install… that’s it !

Note : judging from the fact that Adobe is now at Flash Player 11, and the latest version for G4/G5-Macs is Flash Player 10.1, one would assume that support of Flash on G4/G5-Macs is slowly, but steadily, fading…
