Some Apps crashing

[linda h]

Hope this is the right place for this. I did a search but saw nothing the same. I have a

iMac G5 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz, right now running 10.4.11

I loaded Leopard last month and all of a sudden when I tried to watch a video in U Tube, browser would crash. Didn't matter if it was Firefox, Safari or Netscape. Same happened when I tried to use Amazon or almost anything with videos. So, I re-installed Tiger. When I did that, it asked if I wanted a clean install or partition. Since I wanted to keep everything, I chose the latter. Well, I lost all my addresses and e mails from Entourage. Gone. And, I still have the same crashing issues. :(

I'm not real savvy on the technical stuff.

Thanks!

Sounds like a Flash problem.
Have you installed the latest Flash player?

That said, there are many who have trouble with the latest Flash player as-well.
Maybe the software update next week will solve the problems.

I know someone who has the exact same problem.

The only thing that changed was the new Quicktime update. Still looking for a fix.

Yeah, I installed that a few times to no avail! Removed and installed. Hope the update will help.

Repairing the permissions may help.
Yes I know, a lame solution (the most often mentioned solution for everything, even for major problems where you're almost certain it doesn't help ***** and most of the times it doesn't help *****! ;))
BUT it actually worked for some people on a Dutch Mac forum who had the same problem as you have.

Ok, it's definitely related to flash player. I un-installed it and I can use sites I couldn't use before without it crashing. But, obviously I can't us You Tube since it needs Flash to run videos. I re-installed Flash with same results....crashes every time I try to watch videos, use Amazon to purchase, anthing with flash app.
