You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • HT1338 Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again

    I have been getting this message on MAC OS 10.6.3  "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again". Internet is working fine for everything else. Updating to 10.6.8 and applying all the security updates and patches [directly downloading from the apple website] has not resolved the issue. Read somewhere about a software update enabler for 10.6, installed it, but not helping.. [not sure of the update server settings to be entered] .Is there no way to make the software update work from the Apple Start Menu??

    Problem solved.. Expired rules in Little Snitch caused the glitch

  • Ipod touch 2nd Gen connects to the internet and then quits

    I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that connects to the Internet and then it quits. I will then get the message the Ipod can not connect to the Internet.
    I have a Linksys WTR 610n wireless router (I have upgraded to the new firmware). My Ipod worked fine for about almost 2 years and then it started dropping the connection. I am not sure if was as a result of upgrading the Ipod to 4.2.1. but things started to go bad right after. It will connect from anywhere from 1 min to 20min and quit.  I can't downgrade to a previous OS the Ipod because I don't have a previous version of the firmware. Also Apps and Apple remote will not connect to Itunes when the internet shuts down. The Ipod recognizes all of the wifi routers in the area and its shows that it connects but then still nothing works.
    Sometimes it just says it won't connect to the server. I have tried no security, WEP WPA and WPA2.
    I have also tried:
    1) restoring my IPOD;
    2) resetting the network settings;
    3) rebooting the IPOD;
    4) forgetting the network and renewing the network lease;
    5) rebooting the router;
    6) resetting the router;
    7) upgrading the firmware of the router;
    8) setting the router to "G" only;
    9) setting the router to "N" only;
    10) praying to Steve Jobs; and
    11)
    I think that is everything that I could find on the discussion or elseware. If any one knows how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

    if you use time machine, you should be able to get it back that way. Although IBA saves changes on an ongoing basis, it doesn't create a back up or supplemental copy elsewhere on your drive.

  • How to prevent itunes from automatically adding tunes to library?  These are tunes I select to play, but itunes inserts them in the library and then I have to go delete them.

    =Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind=
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.

  • How can I open Premier Elements 11 Organizer when it Stops Working before it opens up?

    I have brand new Premiere Elements 11 Software but cannot get the Organizer to start up.  It trys to open then shows an error message saying Elements 11 Organizer has stopped working.Thanks.

    Richardbeds
    1.On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running? And, just to get it out of the way, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed, and are you running Premiere Elements 11 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
    1. Delete the settings (preferences) file which is name .psa.prf. Assuming Windows 7 or 8 64 bit, the route to it is:
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    11.0
    Organizer
    and in this Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete.
    Make sure that you have the Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that the path will be visible.
    The shortcut to all that is...as you hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt computer main keyboard keys (altogether), double click the Organizer tab at the bottom of the Premiere Elements 11 Expert view workspace. A pop up should appear asking your permission to delete this settings file. Click Yes to that.
    2. How are you trying to gain access to the Elements Organizer...
    a. Welcome Screen - Organizer
    or
    b. Clicking on the Organizer tab at the bottom of the Premiere Elements 11 Expert view workplace.
    If a or b lets you get into the Organizer, then you might consider creating a new catalog (File Menu/Catalog Manager) as well as disabling Auto-Analyzer options et al under Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/Media-Analysis.
    Let us start there. We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • Something happened and I can't connect to the itunes store on my computer, it keep saying make sure ur network connection is active and try again, but I am on the internet and I do have a connection, it has been working all this time until now

    I also had my phone go into recovery mode and lost everything up until it's last back up and don't have all my son's games I downloaded for him, lost pics, new contacts that i had added.  I don't know what the big hype of the iphone really is, i guess because I am not fully aware of how to use it but I am tired of my itunes store not coming up on my computer and apple wont' help me

    Thanks for your quick response, but all of my iTunes account info is correct.  I also just discovered that I can connect with 3G and purchase apps without problems, so it's just the wifi connection (and only with iTunes store) that is giving me problems.  I have made sure I have the latest software/firmware on my Airport Express network, and my iOS devices, and everything works well on all of my devices (can even browse the itunes store and internet) until I attempt a purchase.  I can purchase with 3G but not on Wifi.  The problem arose on both my iPhone and iPad at exactly the same time!

  • TS1389 How can I make a song automatically play when I turn my Mac Mini?

    I want for my computer to play a song automatically when I turn my computer on. Is this possible?

    As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
    Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
    Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
    Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
    Change loop="false" to loop="true"
    Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
    Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

  • HOW CAN VERIZON EXPECT TO SELL 4G PHONES WHEN THEY ONLY RELEASED ONE SO FAR?

    I don't get it but why is Verizon even selling 4g service when they only have released one 4g phone...the HTC Thunderbolt so far?  I think they jumped the gun on wanting to be a provider but not having the goods to do so. 

    what happens when you change the subject line in an existing thread - let's see  Answer:  It does not change the subject of the original post (thread).   Too bad,  i  hate all caps posts -  other than vision issues - which happened once when I asked why , and should be addressed on the client screen using the accessibility options available on most system.  I just find it plain rude to post that way.  So if you don't have problems seeing,  be polite!    If you want to yell at a Verizon employee, do it privately.   IMHO,  This here is not a place for disgruntled customers - it's for customers who want to help each other with genuine technical and Verizon policy issues.   These issues are best addressed in a constructive, civil manner.   The final redress for any individual vs. a mega-corporation is  a,.  not doing biz with them,  b.  filing a complaint with the relevant federal, state or local regulatory agency.   And of course,  via the press or an independent website. 
    Now, onto the question,   there's no reason to push the limts of technology on a device with a tiny screen and limited silicon horsepower.    Watching HD video on a 3" screen with earbuds, is not my idea of a good time.   And how fast to I need to download two minute mp3's.     For on-the-go business people,  fast mobile , wireless connectivity is a great tool. Wi-fi is not a true mobile technology - it's wireless in your living room.   At least I ranted in lower case. albeit a long-winded rant.
