Fuzzy images when surfing the internet

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro, with Leopard and have noticed that when I am surfing the internet (whether it's Mozilla or Safari), my images come out blurry. Particularly on social networking sites (e.g. Facebook). When I hover my mouse over the image, it says that I can press Shift-R to make the image clear - but I have to do that for each image. Is this happening to anyone else? How can I fix this? All help is welcome.
Thanks!

Are you on a wireless network? Are you on your OWN wireless network? There are hacks out there that are designed to "mess" with people mooching off of their neighbors' open wireless networks by turning all the graphics upside down or making them blurry. What if you go to Starbucks and surf wirelessly from there? Does the problem persist?

  • My mac will not show images when on the internet?

    My mac will not show images when on the internet?  I think I have inadvertently changed some settings but nor sure which one.

    I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences.  Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens".  Check if that is unticked.

  • I've noticed on my new ipad 4 that many images when on the Internet are blurred and low resolution why is this? Because if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear????

    When using my new ipad 4 retina display when on the Internet many of the images are blurry or low resolution? But if you go on apples website everything is crystal clear?? Why is this?

    Ebay images look fine on mine. Image zoom doesn't work, but that's not suprising. I also support a number of public and private websites wth a number of images (some pretty large). Those look fine as well. If the Apple website looks good, there is no raeson other sites shouldn't as well.
    For eBay specifically, I'd recommend using its app, but in general, you could try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • HT1338 my computer it's very slow when surfing the internet?

    my computer it's very slow when surfing the internet

    Hello again
    As suggested I checked all CPU data in the Activity Monitor folder and could not see anything running that appeared to be draining CPU space or competing with other applications.  The following are the results from the Activity Monitor data:
    CPU:  %User - 0.37, %System - 0.62, %Idle - 99.12
    System Memory:  Free - 4.90GB, Wired - 1.15GB, Active - 1.48GB, Inactive - 468.1MB, Used - 3.09GB
    I also ran a test on my Mac using www.sppedtest.net, the results are as follows:
    Ping Speed - 1575ms, Download Speed - 0.15Mbps, Upload Speed - 0.04Mbps
    I am hoping this provides enough information to direct me on what next to check as my Mac internet performance is still poor.
    Thank you for your time

  • Mouse freeze when surfing the internet

    HELP! For no apparent reason the mouse all of a sudden stops responding and sits dead on the screen after surfing on the internet. How do I reset the mouse or is there another way to handle this?

    When you say it freezes does it turn into the a spin wheel that is spining? Or does the mouse completely just stop and get stuck? Are you using the trackpad or a External Mouse? Because there are so many reasons why.
    1. When this happens how many applications do you have open? The more applications that need more memory makes the computer slow/freezes when it tries to catch up to itself.
    If you can click outside of safari that means that the program itself is frozen where you will need to either press
    b Command/Apple + Option + Esc
    to force quit it. or go to
    b Apple Menu - Select Force Quit - Pick the application you want to quit
    I don't really know what exactly is going on with your iBook, If you provide more information about everything that you are doing when this happens theres a better chance the problem will get solved. I hope I helped out a bit.

  • Itunes Sounds Choppy, particularly when on the internet

    Hey there,
    Itunes all of a sudden sounds very choppy; jumpy, particularly when surfing the internet. Don't understand why; running latest Windows with intel core i7 processor and plenty of RAM so it shouldn't be an issue. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    P

    Try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Some users have found this eliminates the issue.

  • Problems when trying to surf the Internet through a SSL VPN tunnel

    Hi,
    I have a small/big problem, I have a customer who have the need for the possibility to surf the internet through the SA500W when they are connected through a SSL VPN tunnel in to their network. I am not using a Split Tunnel. What I have seen until now, when you run IPCONFIG/ALL the default gateway for the SSL VPN IP settings is 0.0.0.0. Is this the problem and if so, how can this be solved?
    Thanks in advance!

  • When on the internet, how do I expand webpage to fill the whole screen?

    When on the internet, how do I expand a webpage to fill the whole screen?

    Perhaps Safari isn't quite what you require, too much work involved all the time making it easier to see
    Take a look at my customized Firefox:
    it always opens to the same size window (or full screen if you like)
    it always zooms all web pages 160% (or whateve you like)
    it always has large type on the menu bar area. (to whatever you like)
    it's very highly customizable,  (or use the plain default settings)
    has more add-ons than anyone (a real plus when you need it)
    has more themes and personas than anyone (make it YOUR browser)
    Easier surfing option for hard of seeing users
    Safari is about the absolute worst browser since Internet Explorer, it's because Apple has already got your money so there isn't any incentive for them to make a better browser.

  • How do I save images downloaded from the Internet?

    I have the URL to an image stored on the Internet. Is it possible to open a connection and store the image on my computer? I'm not totally new to this, I've written a small program that could read text files from an ftp server, but it's my first try at downloadning images. Here's the code I'm using
    String wwwfile = ....;
                   System.out.println(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URL url = new URL(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
                        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream());
                        File file = new File(path,fileName);
                        OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file));
                        int c;
                        while((c = reader.read())!=-1)
                        writer.write(c);
                        reader.close();
                        writer.flush();
                        writer.close();
    When I read text files, I used BufferedReader/PrintWriter instead of InputStreamReader/OutputStreamReader. The picture I want to download seems to be downloaded, it's stored on the computer, but upon viewing the picture, the browser displays the icon telling me the picture is abscent.
    What is it that I'm doing wrong?
    regards
    simon

    Ah, this might be the problem. You're using an InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter to wrap the streams with reader/writers. This is bad. This will corrupt binary data.
    Try this:
            System.out.println(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URL url = new URL(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
            // Use InputStream/OutputStreams instead of Reader/Writers for binary data.
            // Otherwise it will get corrupted.
            InputStream in = urlc.getInputStream();
            File file = new File(path, fileName);
            OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
            int c;
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                out.write(c);
            in.close();
            // You don't have to flush the file if you're
            // closing it right after.
            out.close();

  • Can I use my Ipod touch to surf the internet on my HDTV?

    Can I use my Ipod touch to surf the internet on my HDTV?
    JF

    The quality is questionable, and text when viewed at a short distance does become un-readable, although, viewed from a distance, the touch outputs the PERFECT browsing experience in rich colour, and text with anti-alias.
    Also, it is to e noted that the old composite and component cables are still being sold on the online Apple store, alongside the new and improved one which support the ipod Touch. The old cable sets DO NOT support the iPod Touch even though the site may say they do. I reported this to Apple Onine and they changed the old cable set compatibility pictures to not feature the ipod touch anymore.
    On the subject of accessories for the toouch, you may also be inclined to know that I have confirmation from Apple that the current 'camera conector/adapter' they are selling on the Apple Online Store, DOES support transfer of photos from your camera to the iPod Touch. And for £20, its a spiffy gadget to have in your pocket.
    Thats All. Hope this helps your decision to invest.

  • While surfing the internet I get frequent stopages with the notation "Shockwave Flash may be busy - - - - -" Why doesn't it say Adobe Flash and how do I get it fixed?

    While surfing the internet I get frequent stopages with the notation "Shockwave Flash may be busy - - - - -" Why doesn't it say Adobe Flash and how do I get it fixed?

    The  site will NOT let me post in the  "flash player" forum. When I open the  list of forums to post in, I see  flash player listed, but it is grey  in color and you can not click on  it. Under the scroll box that gives  you the choices of forums to post  your question in you see this:
    "Why are some locations grayed out?                                                This means that you can view content in these locations, but may not   have access to post to them. Or, the content type you've chosen is not   available there (i.e. trying to put a blog post in a project where  blogs  are turned off). Also to move content to "Your documents",  "Private  discussions" or "Your Videos" you have to be the author."
    So   tell me HOW the hell am I supposed to post in that forum, when it is   not letting me?  I have had   this problem since back in April, I have tried posting to get help and   all I get is complaints I posted in the wrong place, and it is the SITE   that is not letting me post in the right place.

  • E90 Chrases when using the Internet.

    When I surfe the internet on my E90, some times the browser shuts down, and i have a feeling that it is slowing the phone down. I have tried to format the phone, but that did not help, that only gave me another problem, now I can't use my Google calendar as i could before. I hope that some one might have an answer to my problems. I have updated my phone to version 300.34.84. But the problems are still on the phone.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
