| 1249503 | 2011-12-19 07:31:00 | I have just bought an emac off trademe which wouldn't boot I have installed osx 10.3.5 then 10.3.9 combo update which was kindly sent to me from Ned Kelly. I have got it up and running but safari keeps dropping and I can't seem to get quicktime to work tried downloading camino,firefox and vlc and then get them as php files which I can't configure. Was trying to get it to run for my grandson to take home. | micky (7329) | ||
| 1249504 | 2011-12-19 08:18:00 | SOunds like the browsers aren't downloading properly. You could try downloading them on a pc then copying them over. | icow (15313) | ||

| 1249507 | 2011-12-20 06:37:00 | So the programs just quit? No messages? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1249508 | 2011-12-20 23:48:00 | Hi micky, I think you'll find you may have to download older versions of most of the software you seek. As the eMac has a PowerPC cpu, and most modern software is either built as a Universal or Intel binary, you may need to be more specific when you choose a download. Make sure you request PowerPC versions of software where possible: The latest version of Firefox you can run on 10.3 Panther is v2.0... VLC is available as a PowerPC binary... |
