I get the message that this cannot be installed on this platform, I thought my machine was OK. iMac G5 10.5.8 PowerMac8.2 2 GHz.

AC14 is intel only it will not install in PowerPC (G5).
The last Universal Version was AC13.

Thanks, but they kept asking what machine I was using and I chose the Mac version and it let me go on. Is the also a Mactel or something like that, or Intel/Mac combination?
I am clueless to much of the details

You have indicated that you have a G5 iMac its processor is PowerPc.

The New Aluminum iMacs use Intel Processors, a.k.a 'Mactel'

AC14 requires an Intel Processor it will not run in PowerPc even if you choose the Mac Version because you have the wrong processor.
