FEMA's Hurricane Disaster Registration Still Won't do Macs

First we experienced the Katrina disaster and now Rita. After Katrina, users reported here that FEMA's website required IE 6.0 and Windows to register for disaster relief. Now, Rita disaster victims are facing the same roadblock in the website registration process. I interacted here in Katrina thread at that time and sent an e-mail of complaint to FEMA with a copy also sent to the President in Washington. I have not received a response from either.
I am a native of Port Arthur, Texas and have many family members and friends who still call that city home. I am housing a displaced aunt and uncle and two friends here in my home. I will of course help them all I can with disaster recovery. FEMA's site still does not allow registration of disaster claims using anything other than IE 6.0 and Windows. I can bank, trade stocks and shop online with OS X and any Mac browser. Why can I not use a federal government website to register for disaster relief?
I will complain again and again and again until I get an answer.

Thanks Ravi,
I was already aware of the information you posted. My point is that online registration should not require the use of Windows and IE 6. The less I have to hold the phone line to talk to government operators, the better off I will be. As I stated in my previous post, I can bank, trade and buy on the internet with my Mac. I just think FEMA should make it possible for Mac users who are hurricane victims to register for disaster assistance.

  • Won't Open--read prior solutions, still won't work (MAC)

    I switched to a MAC so I wouldn't have these problems.
    Up until yesterday, it would open in Safe Boot but not on regular restart.
    I've tried everything mentioned online and in forums...updates, permission repairs, resintall, new user w/ privileges, etc etc.
    Still when I open DW, I get only the apple menu and single Dreamweaver menu. 
    Now when I try to open with Safe Boot only, it hangs on the welcome screen. 
    Any other solutions or do I just give up?
    Thank you.

    You can uninstall and remove the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension.
    You do not need them to run Java applets.

  • Trying to change password.  Changed it successfully, but still won't let me sign on. Says incorrect password

    I Am trying to download an ebook to my new iPad mini.  I already had an account for my ipad2 but forgot the pw. I successfully changed the pw, but it still won't let me sign on. Says incorrect pw. Ultimately I would like all 3 of my devices (iPhone) linked to the one account. I have "chatted" twice with Adobe. They referred me to this site. help!!!!

    What password are you talking about? What did you reset?
    When updating to iOS 7 the process will ask you to set up a four digit passcode as a security feature. If you created a passcode there then that is what you are being asked when you first turn on your iPad or when you wake it from sleep after an Autolock. If you cannot remember or do not know your passcode take a look at this Apple support page:

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

    Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
    iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
    Error Message:
    None of the selected updates could be installed.
    An unexpected error occurred.
    Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
    Any sugestions?

    I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

  • HT1725 I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    I bought a song off of the itunes store on my iphone but it wont play.  I even tried to repurchase it but it says that I already purchased it.  I have restarted my phone and turned it off but it still won't download or play.  HELP!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your phone and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it, or the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option 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 song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
