Can I install safari or Google chrome in apple tv to browse the internet
I would like to purchase apple tv to make my HD tv in to smart TV. As i browsed the features of apple tv I dint see any browser like safari or Google chrome available in apple TV. So I want to know that is it possible to install the internet browsers in apple TV?
no you can't install apps on Apple TV and it does not have a browser
but if you have a supported iOS device like iPad or iPhone or iPod touch you can airplay mirror it's screen to the tv using the appletv
and if their screen is displaying a browser then you got what you wish

Can I use safari and google chrome on my iMac?
Is it possible to use two browsers, i.e. Safari as is and add Google Chrome as well and choose which one I want to use for different activiity?
It is better to have two browsers installed.
I use Safari as main browser and Firefox as backup.
Best. -
I am trying to use my iPad to communicate with the apple tv I just purchased, do I need AirPlay and if so is it a free app
Airplay is not an app, it's built-in. However, what are you are referring to (i.e. browsing the internet) is mirroring.
This requires iPad 2 (or later)

I click on sign in on Youtube.com and it takes me to the sign in page. I enter my information (correctly, duh) and then I am returned to the Youtube home page. I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers. By the way the cookies ARE enabled, so Idk what the problem is.
hello, please also make sure that in particular youtube.com & accounts.google.com are allowed to set cookies (at least for the session)...

Safari and Google Chrome running slow on my MacBook
Hi there!
Over the last couple of weeks Safari (and Google Chrome) have started running very, very slow on my MacBook(I own a MacBook white, OS X version 10.6.8). I didn't install anything new over the last few months, so I don't think that is the problem. My Wi-Fi has been checked and that's not the problem either. Also, I emptied my cache and reset Safari, yet nothing seems to help.. Sometimes I even have to Force Quit Safari because it just stops working all of a sudden and it blocks my whole computer for over a minute. Anyone out there that can help me?Except for Facebook?
Try the following:
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.
Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad). -
How is it possible that when I do have a Wifi connection, I cannot connect to Safari or Google Chrome or anything else internet-related? Sometimes it does all work, but after a while Wifi is still there and I am not able to go to any website whatsoever.
Your network preferences file may be damaged, that would explain why you can configure the computer and get online but then when the computer wakes from sleep and needs to restore the setting it cannot.
Open the Library folder of your computer (not the Library in your user directory) and then find the Preferences folder. Now the problem for me is that I've not used Leopard forever so I'm not sure exactly where the file you want is or what it is called. In Mountain Lion it is called:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
and it is inside a folder called SystemConfiguration. But I can't remember if this has changed along the way or not. The easy thing to do is to go back to the Network Preferences pane again and make the change I directed above. Then you can look in the Preferences folder and sort by date modified to find the network preferences file that was just now modified. Move it to the desktop, restart your computer, reconfigure the WiFi again and see what happens. -
my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

tengo una macbook air y el navegador no puede abrir vídeos. me marca flash está obsoleto. Lo que me saco del apuro fue descargar el google chrome. y ese si me ayudó. Como puedo arreglar el navegador si no me deja instalar el flash
Cesar,
If Flash is important to you, you should be able to download a Flash Player from theAdobe.com site. I wish I could do without it, but there always seems to be something important that is available only in Flash, so I cave in and update the Flash version on my computer. This perpetuates what I believe to be an inferior graphics app, but that's life.
Jerry

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
I believe its related to overheating ?
iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists. -
My macbook pro freezes in safari or google chrome or just shuts down all together
My MacBook Pro freezes constantly when using Safari or Google Chrome. I have to reset to continue with anything.
It happens more often when using Java to play games and sometimes just closes the browser.I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck. -
my internet isn't working anymore, its not the wifi but the actual computer safari and google chrome. Its not loading particular websites, and if it is loading them, they are different to how they use to be. Computer was slow yesterday as well and took about 4 hours to finally be able to shut down and close everything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Im going into exams and need my internet to work
ThanksI dont know if your allowed to show images here but if you are then these pictures will show you what happens.
This is what happens when I turn on my iMac (normal)
This is what happens a few seconds after I turn on my iMac
Here it is up close
Hopefully these pictures will help you understand what's been hapening on my iMac when I turn it on.
Thanks -
I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

Can't install Safari AdBlocker
I have now downloaded and installed (I thought) Safari AdBlocker from four or five different sites. Each time the process ends with the words, "Successfully Installed". The problem is that it has yet to be installed. I say that because I have searched for it with Spotlight many times, and I have also looked for it independently in my Hard Drive. Nothing. I can't find "Safari AdBlocker (It's called AdBlock" someplaces) anywhere. From browsing the Internet, I see that I'm not the only one having problems with this, so I came here in the hope that someone here knows the answer. Oh, one more thing. I keep seeing something that seems to indicate that when I open Safari, I should see AdBlocker loading. That has never happened.
Niku wrote:
hasn't an ad blocking program always been installed in Apple operating systems?
Safari has a pop-up blocker. Safari > Preferences > Security > Block pop-up windows. There's no ad blocking function in OSX.
Now what?
In your post you said you downloaded "Safari Adblocker" from 4 or 5 different sites. That's strange, because there's only one app called Adblock, and it seems like it's only available at one site, from the developer: AdBlock - Browse faster. Ad-free. It's not called Safari Adblock, or Safari Adblocker. It's just called Adblock. I have Adblock 2.6.34 installed, and it works. Do you have that same version?
I'm not sure what you installed, what version, and where you installed it from. What were these "four or five sites"?
Just so I'm clear:
Is Adblock in the list of Extensions in Safari Preferences? Is it enabled?
If it's enabled, try unchecking the box, and then checking it again.
What kind of ads are you seeing? (Adblock can't block in-line ads, like the ones that are at the beginning of YouTube videos (or annoyingly, in most embedded videos in most websites these days).
Adblock also has some learning capabilities, which means that sometimes it can't tell if something is an ad or not, but you can help it learn by right-clicking or control-clicking on the ad and selecting "Block this ad". For me, though, it works well, and I've only used the "Block this ad" thing once or twice.
If you do have Adblock installed, and if it's not working, try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.
If it's still not working then maybe you have some other extension or internet plugin that is interfering with it. You could try disabling your other extensions and uninstalling your internet plugins.
Maybe there's something wrong with your Safari installation which is interfering with it, in which case you could try reinstalling Safari.
If you have any third party "cleaners", "optimizers", or other "maintenance" utilities installed, for example, CleanMyMac or MacKeeper, this may also be the problem. If you do, you could try uninstalling them and see if that makes a difference. Uninstalling them might not fix the problems they have caused, however, and you may need to do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.
I'd also try some basic Mac troubleshooting maneuvers, like booting into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and using Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
