MartianC Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Has anybody got the Flash Plug-in to work? It seems to install ok (presumably using rosetta) but when safari pops up to do the test it says the plugin isn't installed and sites which need it still don't work. Doh!

MartianC Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Firefox (standard PPC web download) does work and recognise that the plugin is installed.

coolbgdog Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 how do you install the flash plugin. When I download it as the hqx file and double click it it says choose which application and I cant seem to do anything. I know how to install other stuff but this is not working.

enb14 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 flash works with firefox and opera but it doesn't works with safari because (Correct me if I'm wrong) X86 Edition only loads x86 extensions.

Just find Safari in the finder, right click it, and select get info. Click the checkmark next to "Open using Rosetta". Next time you run Safari, flash works.

markitoxs Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 It doesn´t work just as they previously said, because the safari included in the iso is a version for x86, so when you try to install Macromedia player it will install the flash only for powerpc apps, Macromedia hasn´t got any flash plug-in for x86 Mac apps. solution: 1.- Download Safari (ppc version, the normal one), and delete the one installed in the system and install the downloaded. Install Flash plugin. NOTE: Maybe sometimes, safari ppc doesn´t install, check it out before erasing the x86 version. 2.- Download Firefox (ppc version) from mozilla.org, and install Flash Plugin.
