hello mac folk
I'm a bit of a learner on things mac. I resurrected an old iMac 'Slot' Ruby G3/400 and have her running with a whopping 1GB ram, generous hdd and Panther 10.3.9
I managed to get a Ralink WIFI usb running, and I have Camino and Firefox as well as Safari browsers. All are plagued by the modern web content and Safari in particular is almost unusable at this point.

I'm wanting to update iTunes to whatever was the last/latest version that will function on this rig. Can someone tell me for sure which that is, and where to find it?

As to Youtube I was sorta expecting to find an App that would do what needs to be done to convert/sort/use/play youtube... so far, no luck. Can someone tell me what I need to know?

Quicktime - I'm not really sure Quicktime functions. I can't find anything that uses it. So same question as to iTunes: what ver of QT do I need, and where to get that??

forgive me for forgetting which versions of FFox and Camino I'm running, but I am hoping for extensions/add-ons for these that will help me "click to play" the rich content on the sites: that is, I want to block such because it only results in "non-responsive script" errors and slows everything to a crawl. I have adblock feature which is standard to Camino but it seems to be a theory only :Mischievous:.... doesn't actually work. I Have images marked to "don't display" but... there sure are a lot of them displaying.
There is an "enable click to play" app showing for firefox but the extensions webpage is maybe using HTML5 or something that makes it ill-behaved on this version of firefox so I can't really tell if its compatible or not.

thanks for you advice

The software update command under the Apple menu will update the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime that G3/ Panther OS can support

AS for Browsers, you best bet is TenFourFox, a branch of Firefox that keeps a more modern Firefox running on PowerPC Macs

looks like 10.4.fox requires 10.4.n... I have 10.3.9
the software update shows nothing, so I guess that means everything is dandy.

so, no browser or app for 10.3.9 that can manage Youtube?
