This page being almost any on-line page. Welcome to obsolescence, you're 4 major versions of OS X behind the current one, about to be 5. Both Apple and Adobe are getting more aggressive about bugging you when you have outdated plug-ins, but won't give you up-to-date plugins for your long-deprecated OS version. The latest Sibelius scorch plugin is available here: http://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/download/get.pl?com=shprod=scorch and is supported under 10.4.11 The latest QT that works with 10.4 is what you have, 7.6.4 The latest Flash and Shockwave plugins for Tiger are what you have as well. The Musicnotes one is marked as 'unknown', so it's not likely a problem. Of the notices you have the most problematic is Flash. Flash is everywherem, but they've dropped support for older Mac OSes. Your system is more than capable of running 10.5 which should get you better support (although that one is deprecated as well). You can disable ones you don't use; I'll wager shockwave is little used these days and unless you have a specific web site that uses it, very few websites use Java, either. (Remember Java is NOT JavaScript) Or just use a browser (safari) that doesn't nag you. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

plug-ins update problem
Hi, Y'all, Using a PowerPC G-4 (3.3) Dual Processor MDD 1.42 Ghz machine For a couple of weeks now I have been getting a Notice of vulnerable or out of date plug-ins used by 'this page'. This page being almost any on-line page. I have not noticed any real problems on any of these pages. However, when I dutifully try to update the ones listed, I get a variety of info: Adobe stuff tells me Apple has its own Adobe pages or I am told that Apple Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 is no longer supported by Adobe. When I check into Quick Time stuff, my machine tells me my Quick Time player IS v.7.6.4 (SEE BELOW) and other Quick Time stuff IS v. 7.6.4 I did attempt to do Java plug-in updates but didn't feel like I succeeded. How important is this particular stuff? This information below comes up on a Mozilla page that results when I click Update Plug-inson the top-of-page yellow notice bar line that I have been getting. I DO update almost everything that comes from Mac software update pages. If this stuff does not need to be done or if it is usually taken care of by Mac software updates, how can I keep this yellow bar notice from popping up constantly? That notice is at the top of the page at present as I am preparing to send this eMail!
