I was a happy user of BBC iPlayer, but it has stopped working on my G4 (or G5) PowerPC Mac, since the new BBC iPlayer version requires Adobe Flash 11, and the latest version of Flash released is version Player 10.1.102.64
Isn’t there any way for me to view Flash 11 content on my PowerPC Mac ?
Answer :
There is an unofficial version of Flash for PowerPC that tells websites it is Flash 11 to enable you to view Flash 11 content. This works for BBC iPlayer, Facebook video, YouTube video, Adobe Kuler and various other web services.
This will enable you to access Flash 11 content on your PowerPC Mac, but please be aware that modern video will still be stuttering on a G4 Mac… even with this trick… for YouTube viewing you might be better of using MacTubes ; go here for more info : https://macmanusnl.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/fixed-watch-yo…wered-g4-ibook/
Installing the unofficial Flash 11 is rather simple, but as always with ‘home-brewed’ software, using it is completely AT YOUR OWN RISK !
– first and foremost : BACKUP your Mac ; make a copy of your entire hard drive before you proceed (use TimeMachine for instance)
– after that, and ONLY after that backup being done, open Safari and download the edited Flash-plugin here :
– then goto the download button in the upper right corner of Safari and click it
– then in the “Downloads” windows that opens, click on the folder named “FPforFBPPC”
– when the Finder opens, click on the alias folder named “Internet Plug-Ins” (this folder can also be found at [your hard drive] –> Library –> Internet Plug-Ins)
– inside that folder, right-click (= CTRL + mouse click) on the file named “Flash Player.plugin”
– in the popup menu that appears, choose “Compress Flash Player.plugin”
– you will now have a file named “Flash Player.plugin.zip”, rename it to “Flash Player(original).plugin.zip”
– then right-click on the file named “Flash Player.plugin” and choose “Move to Trash”
– then quit Safari
– then go back to your downloads folder, click on the folder named “FPforFBPPC” once again, and right-click the file “flash Player.plugin” that’s in there
– from the popup menu choose “Label” and a color that indicates to you that this is not an original file (e.g. red or yellow)
– then drag the file “flash Player.plugin” onto the folder alias named “Internet Plug-Ins” that’s right below it
– then click on the file “READ FIRST.rtf” and read the disclaimer that the maker (called SteelBin) has for you !
– now reopen Safari and goto this website :
– there you can check if you see the video (at STEP1) and if your Flash Player Version is recognized as 11.1.102.55 (at STEP2)
– if that’s okay, you’re done (don’t bother about STEP3 and STEP4)
(if you get any older version of Flash listed… repeat the procedure, and if that still doesn’t work, follow the instructions below for installing a web browser for PowerPC Macs that’s still being updated)
– Now you’re able to use BBC iPlayer and many other modern sites once again on you ‘old’ Mac !
Enjoy !
A big thanks to SteelBin for creating this, please donate to him if you wish to thank him for doing so…
…and a special thanks to Telford Moore for testing the BBC iPlayer with this trick
NOTE :
– if you have trouble using a website or web service because you still get an error that your browser is too old, start using a web browser for PowerPC Macs that is still being updated. You have two options :
Camino :
Flash Player For Mac Os
OmniWeb :
Note : even though it is suggested elsewhere on the web to combine the use of the unofficial Flash 11 plugin with the TenFourFox web browser, I would advice to not hack TenFourFox to do so…
Yes, the big advantage of TenFourFox is that it is the closest you can get to the modern day Firefox, but the flipside is that it has plugins (like Flash and QuickTime) completely disabled for security reasons… they’re waiting for HTML5 to make plugins obsolete…
Depends entirely on what Mac you have.
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 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) 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!):
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a 'blocked plug-in' error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player▹ Advanced
Adobe Flash Player Osx
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
