isteve Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 First a intel imac and a G5 imac are two different animals. It sounds like quicktime is set to play flash media what you want is for flash player to play flash media. Check your quicktime preferences somewhere you should see a menu of file types that quicktime can play. Uncheck the boxes next to the flash file types I think .swf. You may also want to just update the flash plug-in. I know the intel one has been updated a few times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

isteve Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Actually this is fairly common to all platforms. Sometimes installing or updating a media player will default to playing all it’s possible media types if it doesn’t see a preference for another player. A good thing to do on a mac before a update is to repair permissions. This makes sure that your system has the permission to make changes to the old and new software. If your system can’t change something like a preference the newer app will set to defult settings. There is a great freeware app called OnyX that makes maintenance task like repairing permissions easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
