Has anyone found a stable browser for their Power Mac?

I remember when I first jumped on the Macintosh bandwagon.  My friend at the time told me that "Apple has no problem leaving you behind."  I am wondering if the community has any solutions.  I have a PowerMac G5 that runs great most of the time, except for one problem. I can't find a web browser that its stable. I have Safari 5.0.6 because Firefox no longer supports Power PC and their older versions are unusable and Chrome is Intel only. 
The problem I am having is that if I leave my computer on and walk away I am getting scripting errors or spinning pinwheels.  The only way I can rectify the issue is to force quit the browser, and this happens so many times throughout the day it makes me ill.
  At first I thought maybe it was becasue I didn't have 10% free on my drive.  I got a new hard drive.  That didn't work.  Then I thought maybe I had too much stuff on my machine, so I reformatted my entire drive, and I still suffer from the same problem.
I've finally given up and I ask you.  I am really frustarted because signing off on an old OS is one thing.  Signing off on the very thing you need to access information efficiently and effectively is ridiculous.  Especially since they keep supporting iTunes updates.  I guess the legacy support is contingent upon the bottom line and nothing else matters.
If anyone else has found a stable browser for their PowerMac, I would love to hear it. I am running Leopard 10.5.8. Thanks.

Most instabilitiy with Safari is due to third-party add-ons or plug-ins. Many are serious troublemakers, like the "CT" or "Community Toolbar."
If you have a crash report from Safari, I think you'd get some good help by posting it in the Safari forums. Those people are good at ferreting out the add-ons/conflcits that make it unstable.
I run Safari on a number of Macs with OS versions from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and I run no add-ons/extensions and a minimal number of plug-ins. It's completely stable for me.
I am running Leopard 10.5.8.
Then you may wish to update the info in your equipment line:
I was about to tell you to update your OS to 10.4.11 when I got to the last line of your post!

  • Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    John -
    My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers.  And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up.  None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
    Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver. 
    Any further helpful hints?
    I appreciate your thoughts and help.

    Itunes does not make album recognition easy,
    How is selecting an album not easy? And as you have noted, creating hundreds of palylists and managing them is NOT easy.
    As many of you know, syncing playlists is a nightmare when you have many to sort through
    Which is one reason to not create hundreds of playlists.
    When I get a new cd, all I want is to drag and copy it to my ipod and iphone,
    Why can't you select the album and drag it to the iPod or add it to one of a few playlists and sync?
    should the artist start with an x or z.
    Why not go the playlists and type x or z to go right there?

  • Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

    Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party  voice  dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
    I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
    If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.

    You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Has anyone tried CDN cloud serving for their podcasts?

    Is anyone using Akamai or Highwinds Content Distribution Network for their podcast files? I'm thinking of using 'Origin Pull' where they take the first request for the file at your site and store it 'in the cloud' then all subsequent requests are served from the cloud.
    I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if there were any complications with it?

    I can't answer you specifically on this, but I've seen cases where odd redirect or content management URLs broke the Store, which is much more touchy than a browser.
    If the URL the Store has is directly to the file, and the method you describe takes place in the background, it would likely be OK; but if some sort of odd URL is used then it's risky. Unless someone happens to have done exactly this already I can only suggest either making a new podcast and trying it (make it look convincing - it the Store thinks it's a test it will be rejected -you can always get it removed afterwards); or possibly you could post just one episode done in this way; if it doesn't work you would only need to modify the URL back to a normal one.
    The first method would test whether it works for the feed as well as the media, the second only for the media. Note that if you want to use this to count downloads it's probably useless with the feed, since the iTunes application checks subscribed feeds periodically - I don't know whether checking but not actually downloading would count or not.

  • Has anyone gotten a tracking number for their iPhone 6?

    Hello all, I pre ordered an unlocked 64gb Space Gray iPhone 6 via apple.com at about 6:30 A.M. on 9/12. They still had some in stock, because my delivery date has always been 9/19 by standard shipping. Has anyone gotten a tracking number when ordering via apple? When i log into my account to look at my order, it says Preparing for Shipment. It has done this since saturday night. But on my Apple support profile, it lists my 6 as a device with the serial number; and I have heard that this means it has shipped. So, what is it? And has anyone recieved a shipment notification or tracking number yet when ordering via apple? Thanks in advance!

    9/19 delivery means 9/19 delivery.  Be patient.  UPS probably asked Apple not to release tracking info until Thursday.

  • Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?

    I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.

    Since it's a 10.8 issue, why not place a new post in the 10.8 usage forum?

  • Has anyone bought a Crumpler bag for their MB?

    I want to buy a Crumpler bag (www.crumplerbags.com) for my MB, but I am kind of confused by the colors and need any Crumpler owners' advice!
    They have at least two photos for each "Considerable Embarrassment" bag, but the colors look radically different and I want to know which is truer to the actual color. For example, here are the photos they provide of the green bag:
    first one: http://www.crumplerbags.com/Cart/Resources/CartResources/195res/b195o3.jpg
    second one: http://www.crumplerbags.com/Cart/Resources/CartResources/195res/b195_o10039ai178.jpg
    Those are too totally different greens (I don't want to buy it if it's ULTRA bright like the second picture). Just curious if anyone owns a Crumpler or as actually seen one in person and can tell me what they think!

    I object to buying something from a company with such a poorly designed website.
    Seriously. That is he worst site I have seen from a company who actually tries to make money on the web.
    I have heard good things about their bags.

  • HT203258 Has anyone found a real resolution for TS2474

    The resolution listed for TS2474 is only a temporary fix, As it does not correct the automount behavior a empty mount point folder is still left over after a unexpected restart and a second mount point is still created.

    For software related issues you can try a backup and then restore. If you are unable to restore normally due to errors then you can try placing the device into recovery mode.
    If the issue is not resolved by doing this then it is most likely hardware related. You'll need to arrange a service with Apple to have it repaired, if you are unable to get to an Apple Store you can call AppleCare you may be able to setup a repair over the phone via mail in/courier.

  • Has anyone bought the colored cases for their Mac? If so please share the pros and cons

    I have seen these cases on Tv shows and online would like to know if anyone else is using it. And if so is it a good product to buy?

    I don't own a colored case, but I have used macbooks with colored cases on them. One time was when I used the white macbook (late 2007)... it had a full red colored case on it. To be honest, it looked pretty bad. The best colors are the macbook's original colors.
    I have a clear case, and it isn't too bad.
    PROS:
    - very protective of scratches/dents
    - made of sturdy material to have maximum strength
    - easy to take off/on
    CONS:
    - expensive (most of the times)
    - makes the MacBook very heavy and makes it thicker
    - uncomfortable because of the small edges that clip on to the sides of the computer
    - who wants a colored macbook?
    anyways if you DO want to buy it, I suggest you buy it from Speck

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

    Has anyone found a solution for this?

    This seems to be an annoying part of the newer OS.  When I first got my Pearl in 2008, I didn't have that occur.  However once the OS got upgraded, and now with the Tour, it seems like that is the way it works.  Not clear to me why they would have thought this is preferable.

  • HT1473 Has anyone found a way around the artwork bug for iTunes 11 in Windows?

    This thing has been ******* me off for 2 years and I can't contact Apple directly to rage at them.  Hopefully someone there sees this.  Has anyone found a way around the bug?

    I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
    There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
    For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.
