Frustrated with Mac Web Browsers

I am so frustrated with Mac browsers. I'm starting a Cisco CCNA class. I start at this page to get to my Cisco Academy log on.
http://cisco.netacad.net
In the upper right hand corner is the logon prompt. When I enter the user id and password the screen refreshes to a blank window and at the bottom in the Safari status bar it shows "Done". No content is displayed. I tried it in Firefox, same thing happens. I have the debug option turned on in Safari and trying turning on the agent "Windows MSIE 6.0". Still nothing. I even rebooted and tried it. I can navigate all over the Cisco website but as soon as I try to log into the academy then nothing happens.
I went to my old PC and with IE and Firefox I was able to get in OK. What is going on in OSX that is not allowing the page content to display? Or is it Cisco ?
If I didn't have a PC I'd be in bind. You just can't switch 100%.
Rant over.
Thanks

Please let us know if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you,"
There was a link in the email to reply to their email. When I click on it I was presented the login prompt for the Cisco Network Academy. I entered my login information and lo and behold my academy page appeared showing my curriculm links etc. I click around and everything seemed to work fine. I tried it in Safari and Firefox. Cisco has code in their login from the main academy page that has unnecessary restrictions. The link they gave me by passes that code I guess. I replied to their email and offered to use my Mac browsers to run through the curriculm and online tests. Hopefully they will respond positively and not ignore my requests.

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

IWeb'08 lacks tight integration with .Mac Web Gallery

I just created an album page using iWeb'08 (http://web.mac.com/rodkar/Rods.Mac_Site/My_Mac_Album/My_MacAlbum.html) . I have also used iMove'08 and iPhoto'08 to publish a few pictures and movies just to try out the new Web Gallery (http://gallery.mac.com/rodkar#gallery). I think it is clever that I can drag an album that had already been published to Web Gallery using the Media folder of iWeb on the album page. However, the same cannot be performed on movies that I had published to Web Gallery. I could only use "insert .mac web gallery" from the menu bar to insert what turned out to be an embedding of a fixed size movie on the album page. While the photo album takes advantage the new skimming feature, the movies cannot make use of the new features. Or is there another way to publish that I haven't found out yet?
Namaste,
Roderick

Seeing as iTunes store video is m4v format I bet someone writing iTunes thought we'd better not allow anyone to add iTunes store material to an iPhoto library, so all .m4v files are locked out.
Just tested this and exported a short .m4v and as you say when you try to import the .m4v file is greyed out.
I think this'll work:
Under Share choose Export using Quicktime
I chose
Movie to Quicktime Movie then selected Options tab
Choose Quicktime to mov
Use an h264 codec with AAC.
I can certainly import that .mov to iPhoto - and create a web gallery - my uploading is very slow and everything is 'pending' at present but i thinks it's slowly going there!

On bbc.co.uk website I am unable to set my local / postcode, although I used to be able to do this and can with other web browsers. Am unsure how to re set this so it works.

I normally use Firefox as my preferred browser, and have bbc.co.uk as one of my home pages. I used to be able to set my location 'portsmouth' on that web page top receive local news. However, I can no longer do that (Ithink i cleared cache and browsing history recently) and since then it cannot set my location.
Other web bro0wsers are working fine with this, but I wold rather use Firefox.
What vsetting do I need to change?

I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system. The TV says "No signal. Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection." Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display. But how do I do that?

I am frustrated with MAC BOOK PRO, I have 7 cases opened for same issue where System Shutdown does not happen.

Have my MAcbook Pro, since September '11 and started experiencing recurring issue where the system won't shutdown.
I have opend 7 cases since then with Apple Support performed, re-install, remove certain apps but the issue wont go away..
I would request Apple to take this product back, replace it with something new or refund..
Its not acceptable to reach out to Apple for same issue and you cannot pin point to what is going wrong with this machine.

I can't imagine why you have seven cases open for the same issue, and I imagine that that will greatly complicate getting it resolved to your satisfaction. I would contact AppleCare, provide all seven case numbers, and ask to have all of them consolidated into one unified case record -- IF that can be done without losing all the details.
You may think you are contacting Apple by posting here, but that isn't true. We are all volunteers here -- other Mac users like yourself. If another call to AppleCare with the request I've recommended above doesn't lead quickly to a satisfactory outcome, call Customer Relations at 1-800-676-2775. Be calm and polite, no matter how annoyed you are.

Just installed the latest Version of Firefox and it wont play any videos or games? Help, so tired and frustrated with this web browser.

I just installed the newest version of Firefox version30. It wont play videos on youtube but i figured out what to do to fix that (change to "never activate" on Shockwave Flash add-on in plugins).
But if i leave that setting on then the game that i try to play on Facebook tells me turn on flash and when i do i still get a blank screen on FB. What do i need to do?
Im sure theres a simple answer. Ive tried at least 6 different things by reading others solutions and they have not worked. I dont get why why im still having problems WHEN I JUST FRESHLY INSTALLED THE NEWEST FIREFOX AVAILABLE FROM YOUR SITE!!
These annoyances are exactly the reason I and many others have left Firefox for Chrome after being loyal for many years. Help please!

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins". That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
Also, I don't even see Flash listed as installed on Firefox. Are you sure you have it installed? Try downloading it from the below site

Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
"This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
We support the following browsers:
Mac OS X
Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
Firefox 1.5 or later"
Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

Hi,
From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

File attachment in yahoo mail does not appeare in Firefox 4, but IE & other web browsers show correctly.

Before I install Firefox 4, I have been use Firefox 3.6 and when I was checking my yahoo mail, there was not any problem to view or download file attachment.
After installing Firefox 4, when I receive a new mail with file attachment, like as video, or document, I can not see the attachment to download it. but with other web browsers like IE, I can see the attachment of the email.

Hi!
People using a Trend Micro virus scanner should disable some webmail function. You can find the solution [http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-33677-can-t-download-attachments-on-my-yahoo-email here]
I do not use Trend Micro, but have the same issues. I just found my "AdBlock Plus" add-on was stopping the attachment download. What you should do to see if this is your problem too: disable AdBlock Plus, restart firefox and see if your problem is solved. Now enable AdBlock Plus again and restart Firefox.
To fix this problem: In Firefox, click on Add-ons, go to AdBlock Plus, go to Options, click on Filters--> reset statistics. Go to your attachment, click on the attachment (it will fail to download of course). Go back to AdBlock Plus and sort the statistics for "Hits". Now you can see which filter is blocking your attachment download. Disable this filter and you problem is solved!
Regards!

Viewing PDF forms created with LiveCycle in web browsers

Hi,
We created a form in LiveCycle. But this form is not viewable in any of our web browsers (i.e. Safari and Firefox), when using Google docs and Foxit Reader and it also does not open in Mac Preview. I have to download it to my computer and then open it with Adobe Reader to view it. I want to make sure it has all the viewing capabilities available when I send it out to people, please let me know if there is a solution out there.
Note:
I have updated the Adobe Reader to the latest version
I have removed all the previous versions of Adobe Reader
I have also tested it with different computers and continue to encounter the same issues.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sending PDFs without an Email Client Software installed needs to be handled at the server. Using a Microsoft .net web server, and SMTP host, you can send e-mail with PDFEmail.net. PDFEmail.net doesn't require Adobe Acrobat or Reader installed on the server, and works on remote and local web servers with access to a local or remote SMTP user account. PDFEmail.net doesn't require programming knowledge, just upload the scripts and the libraries to your webserver application root, and point the Submit URL action to the script.
For more information, and online demonstrations, please visit:

Hope this helps!
Kind Regards,

ASk in the DW firum and be much more specific. Web page rendering issues are specific to specific versions of browsers and you may simply be using some bad code that messes up your page.

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?

I am having so many problems with my ipads and my computers since I upgraded to Yosemite on my desktop! I have never been so frustrated with Apple. My apple at work also has a virus problem and my other MAC keeps rebooting!! My MAC at home burned

Problems with Yosemite: virus (malware), rebooting, burned hard drive, ipads keep losing wifi.

You're going to have to be more specific about the symptoms you're seeing. At the moment, I really have almost no idea at all what's going on. Also, be aware that upgrading your Mac to Yosemite has no effect whatsoever on your iPads.
If you're having a lot of ad problems or redirects in the web browsers on all these devices, you probably have some kind of network compromise, such as hacked network hardware:

How can I get my Mac to connect faster to the Internet? My wifi connection is fine....don't know why Safari and other web browsers are so slow.

If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

I am having issues with my web module on Lightroom 4 (Mac OS 10.9.5). "an unknown error occurred" while trying to upload to my FTP (no changes in my FTP). Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)
