HOw to better use safari (or another browser)

When you click and drag the bottom-left corner of safari and drag it narrower the vertical scroll will magically appear at some magic length. On some websites the text in the middle will compress itself into a narrower area leaving the side columns intact. In others the window will narrow from the left and inwards.
I was wondering if there was any way of forcing a website to narrow from the left when it by default compresses the middle. This will come in handy when I want to have more windows open and visible at the same time. I want to remove the adds on the side instead of just compressing the center text/other media.
Maybe there's a hotkey?

That is a function of how the site was coded. Some areas of a page could have absolute sizes while other areas have relative sizing. For example if I develop a site with a vertical menu on the left side I may want that menu area to stay the same width regardless of the browser width. So I'll make the menu container a fixed width so that the menu always displays as I wanted it to. I may allow the areas to the right of the menu area to change size as the user reduces or expands the size of their browser.

Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

Try upgrading your operating system so that your Mac can run a newer browser.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

How can i use safari without it crashing on me everytime i open it?

when i open the safari browser it only stays up for a few minutes until a window pops up and says "safari has stopped working" and "windows is checking for a solution to the problem" and then the browser completely closes. this happens everytime i open safari. How do i get this to stop so i can use safari again?

Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some additional information about those.
First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:
You should see something that looks like the following screenshot:

Using safari as web browser in a classic application

I have version 5 of adobe go live and I use it in classic mode in osx.4.8. In order to create my web site I need to specify safari as the web browser, can this be done?

Hi katharineimac;
I tend to agree with Tom that you are going to have difficulties using Safari from a "Classic" application like Adobe Go Live. Have you attempted to save your web page to disk and then attempt to open it from Safari?
I think by using such and old outdated application you are leaving yourself open to more problems then just the inability to open with Safari. As Tom says there are vastly improved applications available on OS X today that can be used to replace what you are currently using.

I bought an imac in 2011, IOS 10.6.8. How can I upgrade safari 5.1 browser as vimeo is recommending this for viewing their videos?

I bought an imac in 2011, IOS 10.6.8. How can I upgrade the safari 5.1 browser, as vimeo is recommending this for viewing their videos and I can't seem to see their videos full screen?   Thank you.

It is very likely you can go to Mavericks but you may as well go straight to Yosemite.   However, unless the matter is urgent I would wait a couple of months until it gets to Yosemite 10.10.2.
You realise of course that your current OS is the last one that can work with Rosetta based programs so if you have bought Office or some Language courses etc you may have to buy new versions.   This table will help you decide which apps you may lose by upgrading.

OWA using Safari or other browser on mac with Cable Moden

Hello. I have a powerbook g4 with 10.4.3. My office (which uses PC) has moved to Outlook Web Access for accessing office email remotely. I cannot get ANY browser to work with OWA on my Mac. I can usually log in, but OWA kicks me off within minutes (if not less), and brings me back to the log-in screen, even if I am actively suing OWA to type an email. I have tried Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE for Mac. My IT department thinks the problem is with cable modems. They have tested OWA on a Mac with DSL access, and have no problems. They think it may be some kind of setting to "connect on demand" as opposed to "always on". Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
Holly

Trevor,
Thank you for your post. I will confirm for sure, but I think they are using exchange 2003. Mac users that are using Safari with OWA with a DSL connection (as opposed to cable modem) are not having any problems - they report that OWA works well with safari. So I think it is some combination of the non-IE browswer WITH cable modem that is causing the problem.

How do I use Safari RSS?

I have RSS in Mail and it is straightforward. Just click on one of the folders. Subscribing to a site is easy also since a window will come up with 'subscribe in Mail' as a choice on the site I am subscribing to. I have not noticed one for Safari. I explored Safari and the only page I could find for RSS is in the bookmarks list that comes up after clicking the open book on the toolbar. I do not want to use Safari RSS if it does not have a listing of all new RSS's that come in daily. I would like to transfer all the Mail RSS's to Safari if Safari has as handy a page. I could not find a real explanation about Safari RSS in support.

Hi,
I realise [this article refers to NetNewsWire|http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/30/an-easy-way-to-import-netnewswire-fe eds-into-safari> and not Vienna, but have you tried drag-n-drop as they suggest there?

How do I use Safari or Outlook Express for e-mail?

I have Mac OS 10.3.5 and Safari. I am going to switch my ISP with AOL dial-up to a DSL company possibly with Yahoo. I have never used Outlook Express. Now, I want to use either Safari or Outllok Express 5.0 for my e-mail. I want to save all the e-mail in my compter. Which program can work better for me? How do I start to set up e-mail?
Thank you very much in advance for your advice and instruction.
Robert

Safari does not do email (except if it is web email which all browsers can do.) Outlook Express only works with OS 9, there is no OS X version. OS X comes with a dedicated email application called Mail. You will find it in your Applications folder.
If you open the Mail application and select Mail Help from the Help menu you will find all the information on how to configure Mail for your email needs.

How do I use Safari full-screen?

I would like to have full-screen use of Safari without seeing the toolbar along the bottom of the screen. Can anyone advise me of how to do this? It seems a waste to have an inch of a 13" display taken up with the applications I can choose to use by closing or minimising safari.
Thanks

"I would like to have full-screen use of Safari without seeing the toolbar along the bottom of the screen"
You can re-position the "Dock"
If the Dock is in your way, you can hide it, change its size, or move it to another side of the screen.
To hide the Dock, choose Apple menu > Dock > Turn Hiding On.
To move the Dock, choose Apple menu > Dock > ”Position on Left” or “Position on Right.”
To change the size of the Dock, locate the separator between the row of application icons in the Dock and the Trash. Then move the mouse over the separator until the pointer becomes an up and down arrow, press the mouse button, and drag the arrow up and down.
To see the Dock when it’s hidden, move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. If you’ve moved the Dock to the left or right, move the pointer to that side of the screen.
