Browsing troubles

I am using an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.11
I am using Safari as the browser.
I can navigate anywhere on the Apple site, watch videos, read articles etc. all on the Apple site. As soon as I navigate away from the Apple site I get the spinning rainbow wheel and have to ForceQuit Safari.
Why?
I have run the disk utility and have found nothing needing repair. There have been occasions when I start up the iBook and I get a darkened screen telling me I need to hold down the power button and restart. I started in safe mode and did the disk utility and had no luck.
Please help if you can.

No, what are the third, fourth, and fifth character of the serial number found in the battery bay? The serial number represented below show which characters are important:
xxABCxxxxxxx
A is the last digit of the year of manufacture.
BC is a two digit week of manufacture.
This will tell us which discs work with it.
All iBooks came with 10.4.3 or earlier, and if they have 10.4.11 were upgraded from either Software Update or http://www.apple.com/download/

  • BROWSER TROUBLE . . PLEASE HELP

    I have a complicated problem, so hope someone can help. But have to warn you in advance that because it is complicated, you're going to need a little patience to wade thru the facts:
    1) Safari is my primary browser, but there are a couple of instances in it does not work well for me. e.g., While I can browse thru eBay listings, it's been totally useless to me the few times I've tried to list items for sale myself. It's fine for filling in "the blanks" that apply to everyone, but when it comes to describing specific items, not only are the formatting tools unavailable to Safari, but the description requires the use of HTML, which I do not know.
    2) The only way I could do that was by switching to FireFox, which I downloaded to my iMac. Although I don't think it allowed the full range of formatting tools, at least I could input data and switch between half a dozen fonts and reasonably full spectrum of colors.
    3) Since yesterday, all that changed. Initially, it was just one of the drop-down menus that did not function properly, but minutes later, when I tried to log in again, it did not recognize my password (although it worked if I logged in from Safari . . . or even an old version of IE on my spare Mac). After that, it insisted FF was not accepting cookies. No matter how many times I cleared the cache and cookies, and verified that "accept cookies" was on, it insisted I was wrong.
    IN all I probably spent close to 4 hours communicating with eBay's Live Help reps, each of whom . . . after thumbing thru their manuals and occasionally speaking their tech team, returned to say the problem must be with my Mac and that I needed to take it in for service.
    Meanwhile, while groping for an answer myself, I found over 20 alerts and messages in FF's Error Console — all referring to eBay's site. Thinking their tech team might find a clue in them, I offered several times to forward them, but was turned down each time. Instead, they advised that I try IE.
    4) Having heard that IE is fraught with viruses and spyware, I had been avoiding that for months, but finally gave in and tried to download it. But according to the download site, MS had stopped supporting IE for Macs several years ago, when Apple switched to Safari.
    5) Recalling that my old Mac already had IE on it, I gave it a try, but discovered it relied on HTML for descriptions, too.
    6) My last hope was Netscape, which lo and behold does work. Just one problem: according to their website, they will officially stop supporting the program tomorrow (2-01-08)!
    So I have 2 questions:
    1) Does anyone have any ideas on how I can restore FF?
    Even if including the error console alerts would be helpful, I can't do that anymore because they disappeared when I deleted the cache, cookies and personal data. But as I recall they all referred to being unable to read the parameters for height and width (whatever that means). I don't recall anything about the "original" final warnings, and their are only two up now (no alerts). Most recent one says: ""Error: ebay is not defined
    Source File: https://secureinclude.ebaystatic.com/js/e547/uk/features/signin/signinfootere5472uk.js
    Line: 28".
    (And yes, I was trying to list something on eBay's UK site.)
    Question #2: Is there any other free, downloadable browser that does not require HTML for user input?
    Sorry for taking up so much space and time, but I figured you probably would be asking me for some of the info anyway.
    I consider myself lucky (and pat myself on my back each time my husband complains about the problems his PC gives him) because in general, every one of the Macs I've owned over the years has made me look like a pro, by comparison. But when I have run into problems I could not solve on my own, I've always been able to count on these discussion groups for a solution. Sure hope you can come thru for me again today.

    Hi C S!
    As you posted in another Thread, that you can't recall how to Post a New Topic, here is the scoop!
    If you have a question, or suggestion, about using Discussions, from this page Feedback about Discussions, click on Post New Topic. This is where you mistakenly posted this Topic.
    If you have a Technical question about Apple Hardware, Programs, Services, Technology, Software, Applications, Products, etc, from this page Discussions - Forum Home, select an appropriate Category from one of the sixteen divisions.
    For example, under Mac OS X Related Software, choose the Category Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
    On the page that opens, select a Forum, such as Installation & Setup, or Using Mac OS X Tiger, for example.
    Most Category pages, have numerous Forums within them.
    But some may have only one, two, or three.
    For example the Safari Category page has four choices listed under Forum / Category, but only two of them, are Forums:
    Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows
    Safari for Mac Support forum.
    And the Apple Remote Desktop Category, has only one Apple Remote Desktop Forum.
    On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
    More info here How Is Discussions Content Organized.
    It can be confusing, but explore the different areas, and you will acquire a better understanding of the hierarchy.
    It isn't necessary to repost this Topic, as I have requested that a Host move the Thread, to an appropriate Forum.

  • Please help, Nokia c2-02 browser troubles

    It's been 3 months since I've updated my nokia browser and since then the browser is not working
    I have updated my phone using nokia suite 3 times
    (today was the 3th time)
    I've been searching online for a solution but all whatI've seen was to download the nokia browser but I haven't find one suitable to my phone (nokia c2-02) if there is please post me a direct link
    The other link that I found post on the nokia forum were unsuitable for my phone
    I have searched throught ovi store for days but I haven't find "The nokia browser - new and improved"
    I have downloaded other browsers which I use
    but they don't support 0.facebook.com (which is a website that is given and provided free in my country )
    The old nokia browser supported that website
    Is there anyway that I may use to restore my old browser ?
    If there isn't please give me a direct link to download a new browser (not from ovi store because as I mentioned earlier it does not support nokia c2-02)
    And thank you very much

  • Browser troubles with newly installed Tiger

    Since installing 10.4.6, I'm having trouble getting to most websites with any of the browsers on my machine. This includes Safari, Camino, and even Internet Explorer 5.2. The problem is not consistent, as I will get an error message several times, and then get through (sometimes). An example of the error mesages:
    Google Error
    Not Found
    The requested URL /exchange/ was not found on this server.
    My ISP (Earthlink) suggested I delete all cookies containing earthlink.net, which did not solve the problem. I tried deleting all cookies, which still did not solve the problem. I don't know if it's a compatibility problem between the browsers and the OS, between Earthlink and the OS, or what. Help!

    Intermittent sounds like Hardware, but try trashing the "/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist" for a start.

  • Blackberry browser trouble

    I have a Pearl 8120 and i've tried to use the browser through my home wireless network and everytime i try to use the browser it loads one page then when trying a new page i get,  "A problem occurred while trying to render the page"
    I've tried clearing the cache through the browser options then i tried to take the battery out and let it set for a few minutes then put the battery back in an the browser still does the same thing what should i do to fix the problem. 

    I had this problem last night.   I was able to access a regular 'non BB homepage' by navigating 'to recent page and then the "go to" button magically appeared. 
    After this got to be super annoying,  Idid a battery pull.  So far so good.

  • Browser trouble :S

    I did have my wi-fi connected to my normal internet at home and everything was fine but all of a sudden now whenever I try and get on anything it comes up with the Blackberry Logo and a messege saying 'A problem occured while trying to render the page' I have tried connecting and reconnecting but nothing seems to be working

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Also, Websites can be coded to perform better with some browsers rather than others. The BB Browser can appear to websites as several different things...that setting is, from within the Browser App, (BBKey > Options > Browser Configuration > Browser Identification). Changing that to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites. In combination with all of the other configuration settings, you need to find the combination of all of these settings that works best for the sites you are visiting. Sadly, there is no "best advice" to give as each persons needs are different. But, I typically find that changing the Browser Identification often helps -- most often by changing to FF or IE (if those are available to you...the options vary by carrier).
    Good luck!

  • Browser troubles with iWeb 1.1.2

    I've been developing a website with iWeb 1.1.2 for a client. I'm using hostmonster.com to host my domain because I don't have a mobile Me account. Because of this, I'm using FTP to publish my website to hostmonster. I've published it and uploaded all of the files to the FTP file manager. Now when I visit the actual website using safari or firefox, none of the links from the homepage work. I checked the source code, and I can't figure out anything that could be wrong. But when I visit it using Internet Explorer, the entire website works. So is there any way I can fix this so that it works with all browsers (or at least all of those three)?
    here's the address in case anyone can find anything wrong with the code:

  • Web Browser Trouble

    I just installed Arch with little problems but I notice webpages in web browsers are loading extremely slowly. Any ideas to the cause of this?

    Jekkonidae wrote:
    Why thank you very much. I just have one last question. Is this related to the default DNS server my ISP uses or is it a default server that comes set in Arch?
    EDIT: I ask this because on other distros web pages load at normal speeds, but after installing Arch they were reduced to a crawl.
    Have a look at the Arch Linux beginner's guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … ure_System
    Your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf should be setup exactly correct, or you will experience slow performance. Arch will not setup anything by itself, that is left up to the user.
    The DNS info I gave you is for opendns.com. Keep in mind that if you are using a router with static IP, you may want to specify your DNS in the router itself and merely point to it from resolv.conf

  • IWeb & Homepage Browser Troubles Today

    Yep. http://homepage.mac.com/USERNAME doesn't work either. I'm beginning to suspect that there's something screwy with the cable service provider, Adelphia, because other sites have been hanging as well.

  • Browser not supported after CS4 Install

    I installed CS4 Design Premium today and have been having browser trouble since. I'm getting alerts from multiple websites that state that my browser is not supported or that my system does not meet minimum requirements (veer.com, netflix.com). I have used all of these sites in the past with no problems on the exact same computer and system.
    I'm receiving this message in both Firefox 3.0.10 and Safari 4.0. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
    In case it matters, I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz with 4GB RAM, OS 10.5.7.

    I ran into a similar issue recently. Samsung HDTV used to work fine via HDMI from my Mac. After upgrade to Mavericks, the TV would just show a "Mode not supported" message.
    Simple fix did it for me:
    * Connect the television to the Mac via HDMI cable as I normally would.
    * Power on TV and set to correct channel.
    * Go to System Preferences|Displays
    * Click the "Gather Windows†" button, which brought a hidden, 2nd Display window onto my Mac's screen.
    * Using this 2nd window, I was able to configure the resolution for the Samsung HDTV; in my case, 1080p.
    † Note the "Gather Windows" button is only visible when multiple displays are connected and detected - which is the case when you see this "Mode not supported" message.

  • Can anyone help with a Flash Player problem on the Weight Watchers site?

    I'm having problems with the Weight Watchers web site.  I've tried loading it with IE9, IE8, Chrome and Firefox.  There's a specific area of the site (Pro Points Calculator) which continually flashes.  I can't stop it and I can't access the icons underneath it.  Also the Plan Manager, which contains several other tools, will not load.  I've contacted WW who say their site set up "is not unique but it is rare which is why other websites will work while ours may seem not to.  Please contact your web browser trouble shooting team".  I've loaded the latest version of Flash Player (11), tried compatability view, cleared the cache, enabled cookies etc. all to no avail.  I've even spent almost an hour on the phone with the Techguys who say it is a compatability problem between the web browsers and flashplayer.  I'm stuck!!  Not a techhie and don't know where to turn to for help.  Anyone out there offer any ideas?  (PS - am a newbie to these forums too).  Cheers.  Happy2golf

  • Capture current query for a report region

    Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I could not find it.
    I have a reporting application where several different reports that have a list of customers. I would like to develop a means to generate a mailing list for the customers that is generic and can be used on any report. I envision getting the list of customer by executing a query like:
    select person_id from
    ( <report region query> );
    Is there a way to get the current query (or query result) for a report region and process it in a PL/SQL procedure? This would need to work for regions that have an SQL query and a PL/SQL function returning a query.

  • How to keep Adobe Flash Player installed?

    Hi,
    I'll try to get to the point right away hoping some of you can share my experience and  find a way out of this problem: My computer is a Windows 7, my browser Mozilla Firefox, I use Opera as well.
    I used to have Adobe Flash Player installed on my Windows 7 for a long time, it worked well,  but it seems something has changed lately: I promise I do follow every single instruction given by Adobe, checking if my PC is right, if my anti-virus allows the installation etc... Every time my download works well, seems to be installed, but when I want to use it (I do need it desperately for my work, I work in arts), it seems to crash or simply doesn't exist anymore. I must install it again, sometimes 5 times a day.
    I'm logged in with Creative Cloud, I have my Adobe ID, I can check if I do have the right version (I can see the clouds pass by above the tree etc...) or I'm told with a bouncing red cube that Adobe Flash Player 11 is installed on my computer.
    I've tried to activate my version as I read this somewhere, but how?
    I do have Shockwave Flash plugin from Mozilla Firefox, is something wrong with that perhaps?
    For a whole week Mozilla Firefox stopped responding and I had to initiate it again three times.
    I'm simply lost and what's more important, I'm losing a lot of time.
    My computer suffers from the permanent downloading and browser troubles.
    Is there anyone who went through the same kind of experience and would be kind enough to exchange it with me?
    My sincere thanks to you all for the time you're taking to give me some enlightening tips!
    Kindest regards,
    Gabs17   thanks!
    PS. Could the reason for my problems be the fact that I haven't bought any Adobe product lately?

    Hi Gabs17,
    Your Adobe product purchase history has nothing to do with Flash player install
    Adobe Flash Player is a free software.
    Make sure you have downloaded the right Flash Player as Flash Player for Firefox is different than one needed for Internet Explorer.
    Please download it from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    In case you still face issues please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
