...me again, lol, I'm new to apple OS as I only just got my iBook a few days ago, but I am running OSX 10.3 (Panther) on a iBook G4, when I try to go on youtube I cant play the videos due to not having Flash player 10, but I cannot download flashplayer 10, can someone advise me on a flash player that will work on OSX 10.3 - panther - so that I can watch youtube videos, thanks (:

No. 10.1 Flash is for OS X Tiger and up, and on certain processor speeds.

honestly ibooks are obsolete for any form of media consumption I find. I put my ibook back in OS9 for kicks after I got my macbook. I use the ibook to play snes emulators sometimes.

Honestly, if it still works, people aren't complaining. Can't say that with similar Windows computer, can you?

Sometimes youtube screws up like that. Any form of OS X can play youtube videos. (iMac G3 running 10.1 plays them) Flash Player 9 & 10 are both fully supported on youtube.

You don't need flash for YouTube and with this being a Mac website, I can't believe no one told you that. YouTube's HTML mode should run fine even on an older G4.
