My IMac G5 won’t load on any web browser completely?

Question

I just purchased a second hand iMac but when opening any web browser whether it be safari chrome or Firefox any images or videos will not load completely. I use internet to watch videos a lot especially on YouTube as it helps with my coursework in college so I need these to work or the Mac is pointless. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

Now you know you've been had if you were told it can do anything required by today's computer. Macs have been using PC hardware architecture for a decade now, a G5 predates that. Your only hope to bring that to a degree of modernity is to load Linux that's compiled for Power hardware and I won't hold any breath on doing that, early 201x is probably end of road for that.



Hopefully you paid for it like $40 or less, I paid for my early Core 1 Duo Mac last year for $80.

Answer 2

And now you know why it was for sale!

Answer 3

If you have an iMac using the G5 processor then you have a Mac that is at least 11 years old. The last Mac with a G5 was built in 2006. First thing is to update Flash Player and Java. If that does not work then download and install Firefox and try using it.
