HT4455 What about a download to reboot Safari?

I am running X.4.11 and safari seems to have problems with most https:// preferred URLs except it is OK with Google, no longer to trusted, Face-book,And some other sites usually not used.
Is this the nature of the beast, but it wasn't a problem years ago on my G3 tower unit. So why now?

Yes, as in whipping the disc space, then re-loading the software to update any errors in the installed version. I've just done that very thing, and it would seem the message to the effect all Updates were current was in error since 4.1.3 installed, but now it does not like anything beginning with the forbidden URL http-s://, so it means editing the URL list, or making them a starred, preferred one as is there for ixquick.com my choice for non snooped browsing since Google has an odd attitude about what they choose to do with our information.
I've been doing this since 1957, btw. And looking over the operating system is what is always done on a refurbished computer. Some techs like to scrub the folder contents in order to sell you what was in the Apps and Utilities. Been there, but got it replaced along with the firing of the twit.

  • PC FREE - what about large downloads?

    I want to give an ipad to someone, to use " PC FREE ". 
    Will they be able to download large content directly over the iPad's 3G connection?  I currently can't download a TV show from iTunes to my iPhone over 3G, for example. 
    They don't have broadband, only dialup. 
    I guess they could get a MiFi modem over 3G so that the iPad could "be connected with WiFi", but would seem crazy since the iPad has 3G built in.

    I didn't think about it until Dahveed brought it up, but basically, if you're worried about "large downloads", then not having broadband will be quite expensive.  AT&T & Verizon have data caps.  And a 10GB plan from Verizon will cost $80/mo.  Even the Mi-Fi from Verizon has a data cap, so a lot of "large downloads" will get you into trouble.  It's not the Wi-Fi on the iPad you need to worry about.  It's the fact that you're still connecting over cellular 3G.
    The one current plan I could think of recommending is a Mi-Fi from Sprint.  Sprint's WiMax 4G is unlimited so a 4G Mi-Fi from Sprint, while still costing $60/mo, would avoid overage charges.  The catch is you must be in a 4G area, because you're capped to 5GB of Sprint data in 3G areas.  And that is just what Sprint is offering for now.  They just got the iPhone so who knows if their network can take the strain, thus perhaps Sprint's unlimited data may go away.  I'm told that Verizon's LTE 4G will be unlimited...for now.  If that is so, then a Verizon LTE Mi-Fi (if and when it's availalble) would do...for now.
    Realistically, advise the person you're giving the iPad to that they must watch what they do on the iPad.  No streaming.  (No Netflix, no Pandora, etc.)  General web surfing is fine and occasional Youtube is okay.  But no full length movies (unless they're using Sprint on WiMax.)

  • Hi. Dear users. What about Web Browsers for Mac and IPhone 4S devices

    Hi. Dear users. What about Web Browsers for Mac and IPhone 4S devices?
    Test Labs: THG and something else.
    Thanks for responses and future responses.
    Big Thanks.

    "What about?" Both come with Safari as a Web Browser.
    Can you be a little more specific as to the information you are requesting?

  • ICloud Drive, what about sharing contacts with my older iOS devices?

    Hi folks, I have finally upgraded my Macbook Pro to Yosemite and my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 and Monday will be the promising iOS 8.1.
    During the process I have been offered to also update my iCloud account to iCloud Drive.
    Sounds cool and necessary to benefit from a few extra features however I still own and use a iPhone 3GS and another iPhone 4.
    It's clear that with iCloud Drive I won't be able to share documents among those devices; I can live with that but what about my contacts, calendars and Safari bookmarks not to mention Photos and iTunes Match, would that be the end of it or would those later services still be shared among older and newer devices?
    I can't see it clearly stated among iCloud Drive specs and now I am hesitating with the update..
    P

    Hi randers4, your explanation convinced me and I have made the plunge and upgraded to iCloud Drive.
    It works as you explained, all other services such as Safari Bookmarks, Reminders, Contacts and keep syncing data among them. Nice.
    It will be interesting however, how custom folders and files, will share among different users.
    Haven't found much documentation on that either but suspect the mechanism won't be as refined as in DropBox.
    For instance: as far as I can see, I can't create/copy a link to one specific folder I have created but have to use either Mail, Messages, or one of the SocialMedia I have registered on the Mac.
    But perhaps I should start a new topic on this
    Thanks and regards

    What about audio books?  my audio book didnt download the full book.  a file is missing.  how do I see that to download?

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download. If it didn't download correctly then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • I cannot download software (message: safari can't open specified page). What can i do?

    I cannot download software (message: safari can't open specified page). What can i do?

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network ▹ Advanced... ▹ DNS
    Under DNS Servers you should have one or more numerical addresses, such as “192.168.1.1” or “10.0.0.1”. What are those addresses?

  • What's the optimum version of Safari for OS 10.3.9?

    My first post here.
    What is the optimum version of Safari for use on a PowerBook G3 "Pismo" running OS 10.3.9? I'm currently running 1.2 (v 125). I've downloaded 1.3.1 but when I try to install it says "Not compatible with this system." Is there some version in between that would work better? If so, I haven't been able to find it, and the Update Software feature doesn't find it either.
    I did upgrade my firmware at some point, but I don't remember how to look up the version. Any help most appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The highest version for Panther is 1.3.2.
    Before you can install 1.3.1, you need to install 1.3. This may get you there: Apply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. Do not use the computer while the Installer is running. Once complete you'll need to restart the computer.
    Then, via your Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder. Open Disk Utility. When open, click on the HD on the left, then First Aid Panel>Repair Permissions on the right. Once complete, open Safari.
    When the Safari browser is open, go to the Safari Menu>About Safari. Which version are you using? If it is 1.3.2, then you're good to go. If it is 1.3, then run the 1.3.1 installer again. Once finished (I believe you'll have to restart), run the 1.3.2 update. Once the installer/restart is complete again "repair permissions".

  • Safe download box in safari preferences?

    Is it a good idea to uncheck the safe download box the safari preferences?  I 've seen people talk about this & I'm new to the mac world.   THANKS!

    JoeJoe
    Yes it is highly advised to uncheck the safe download. It could cause your Mac to download and install malware, or spyware on your Mac. You want to be in total control of what is being download from the Internet. Take a look at Mac 101. Welcome to the world of Macs and the Apple support forums. Hope your experience will be an enjoyable one.

  • HT5071 Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmark?

    Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmarked page?
    I have 2 questions..
    1. Can I send a link via email that when launched will open an ibook that has already been downloaded to the bookshelf?
    2. If question 1 is possible, can I take it a step further and call a bookmark, i.e. chapter 3.
    Our company has it's own appstore and I want to send out links to sections of the ibooks using bookmarks or at the very least take them to the start of the ibook.
    I don't need to give them a link to install the ibook as they already have it installed.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Chris.

    That would be cool, but it's not possible. The ibook is not accessible by URL in the user's bookshelf.

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

  • Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

    Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
    I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
    1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive.  Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application?  Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
    2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
    Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear.  Many thanks for the help.

    2)  iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses.  For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
    I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac.  On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them.  I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

  • My daughter downloaded the new safari update on her iMac and now it won't open without new os update

  • A better manual? & what about photo stream from Aperture?

    Is there a better manual for ATV other than the one that came with it? I find that one VERY lacking in operating instructions for the ATV.
    And what about setting up to stream photos from my photos in Aperture? The only options in the menu are Flickr, Mobile Me and to sync. Syncing all my photos would really eat up the HD space! I would rather stream.
    Looks like the option to stream photos from Aperture was eliminated with the last ATV firmware update. What gives Apple??

    I have a similar problem using photo stream, turned it on the other day after I had been emailing pics from my laptop and then opened mail on my iPad and opened pics which were all high resolution, photos looked great in photos and albums, but a couple of hours later when they had downloaded in photo stream they were pixelated. They also streamed to my iPhone 4 and the same problem there. A couple of months ago I installed iPhoto on my phone and edited a pic that was on my phone and when saved it also pixelated. I'm beginning to think this is maybe the cause of this, because as I have said, these are high res files and look great when viewed through camera roll, photos or albums, it's only the photo stream folder that is affected. Does photo stream down sample images? Doesn't explain why the iPhoto edit on my phone pixelated though. real curious as to why this is happening, maybe just turn photo stream off.
