How do i update my browser for mac 0s2 9.2.2

i need help bad! i have a mac g4 - version os9.2.2 that i was given. i just got internet service on it-verizon dsl and it is not working properly. the techs at verizon said that i needed to update my browser, but i am not sure what that means. they said i need to update it to 10.2 version. i called apple but they will not support me because of the age of the computor. what would be the upgrade that i should get and where can i get it for the cheapest cost? apple said to search on line but i cannot navigate these sites well.
any suggestions on a minimal upgrade and a place to purchase???

Hello Kithy,
OS9 and Internet Explorer will work just fine with Verizon's DSL; they may not be officially supported, and you may have gotten a techie unfamiliar with Macs or OS9. You should have the latest upgrade of IE which is 5.1.7 although the original install which I think is 4.5 should work. I just installed from an OS9 CD last night and I checked to see before I upgraded. You may have to search these posts or Google to find the download link for the latest version; it's no longer available from Microsoft.
I suspect you may be having other troubles installing.
iCab should work, too, and - although I don't use Mozilla myself - if Tom says it works you may take it to the bank.
If you decide to go to OSX (which I find more capable but less user-friendly), avoid 10.2 (Jaguar) and get either 10.3 (Panther)(my favourite) or 10.4 (Tiger). I got my copy of Panther from http://Applerescue.com for $59.
In my experience, OSX browsers Safari, IE, and Firefox all work well, although there are some differences.
Good luck ..... Jon

  • Hi, how is Firefox as a browser for Mac

    Hi, can someone tell me if it is safe to use Firefox as a browser for you Mac and doe's it cause any problems?

    Firefox is my primary browser and it does not cause any harm to your MBP or problems in general.  I my opinion, I find it superior to Safari.  Others may have different thoughts.  I suggest you download it and try it and form your own opinion.
    Ciao.

  • How do I update my FaceTime for Mac software?

    I haven't used FaceTime on my Mac with FaceTime on my iPad in a while.  Now I find that the connection fails immediately every time.
    The Mac is running 10.6.8, which per a document Apple has been circulating addressing this problem, suffices.
    However, per the same document, the FaceTime on the Mac is not up to par.  It is 1.0.2 rather than 1.0.5.
    My question is, how do I update the FaceTime software?  I already have the feature that lets me know when software needs updating and it hasn't come up.  I also tried running that manually, but nothing came up.  I also see no way to update the software from within FaceTime.
    Could this also mean that the FaceTime software on my iPad is out-of-date?  I don't even know where to find what version it is running...please let me know.  Also, my iPad is running iOS 7.1.2, which I believe would suffice.

    I'm suspecting he tried to download the file in the OSX store as I did.  When I tried it, it wouldn't let me download it as I currently have it installed from a non-app store location and it won't let me download it. I presume I have to delete my current copy before downloading it.
    Do you know if it works as promised?

  • How do I Update Photoshop CS for Mac OS 10.9?

    I'd like to continue to use my old Photoshop CS (circa 2003) on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009).  I just upgraded to OS 10.9.2. 
    Now, trying to open Photoshop brings up this error message:
    You can't open the application "Adobe Photoshop CS" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    Do I need to run a series of upgrades?  If so, what order do I run them in, and where do I get them?
    Thank you so much for your help,
    Joshua

    Older Macs used PowerPC (PPC) processors.
    Modern Macs use Intel processors.
    Older software (such as Photoshop CS) written for PowerPC will not run on modern Intel-based Macs. There are no upgrades or updates to make it run on Intel. The code has to be re-written from scratch.

  • How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    Hi kwalker08865,
    It would appear that the most recent version of Safari that is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 would be Safari 5.0.6. If this would meet your needs, you can find more information and a download link on the following page:
    Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

  • Offline browser for Mac

    Does anybody know a better offline browser for Mac than this? I haven't tried it yet.
    http://www.bestshareware.net/download/webcopier-for-mac.htm

    Thanks for the browser info it seems like it might work well but having a few problems. When I go to websites it will tell me to enable javascript, I can't locate it haven't been on a Mac in years. I tryed to unblock cookies and also unblock images but those settings will revert back to, blocking them. I tryed going to software update, but that came back with, update did not find new or updated versions of your software. I thought maybe javascript needed to be updated? And OS 9 is more than likely no longer supported? So if you have anything I could try would appreciate it.
    Also if I may add to this post. This G3 blue and white computer came with Mac OS X. But I couldn't reset the login password and didn't have the original OS CD, so couldn't get into it. The computer probably hadn't been run in years. I had to replace the pram battery, date was 2003. And had to replace the ram.To get it to start.
    Then I installed Mac OS 9.0.4, because I couldn't get into OS X without the password.
    I had saved the entire software pack from a iMac DV I bought in 2000. What I've read is, that OS disk would be specific for that iMac only, it installed on the G3.
      I don't think the computer hard drive reformatted with the install of OS 9? The OS only took about 15 minutes to install. I didn't see a reformat window come up where I could make a choice.
      My question is, would OS X still be on this G3? Or was it removed with the OS 9 install? I don't know how to locate it if it still is?

    Yes. Always keep the default settings unless you have a specific reason not to.
    If you are a heavy user of Java programs or applets, you may need to clear the cache files after Java updates because the old caches may interfere.

  • Software update 14 Java for Mac 10.6.8 gave me 27 permissions errorsI found 29 permissions errors.Disk Utility and Onyx cannot repair.

    first time I contact Apple Support Communities
    I have re-installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro(permissions = ok) and each Software update proposed by Apple.
    After each software update installation, I have checked the permissions being ok.
    But after install update 14 Java for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (proposed by Apple), I found 27 permissions errors. Disk Utility as well as Onyx cannot repair. (in fact they repair and if you check again you still have those 27 permissions errors)
    It concern mainly System/library/Java/Java Virtual Machine  +  System/Library/Framewoks/JavaVM.Framework  and System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.Bundle
    Do you have an idea how to get rid of those 27 permissions errors.
    Thanks in advance
    claude533

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program
    drwxrwxrwx

    |  |   all other users not in first two types

    Before the user had read & write. A member of the group had read.
