There are 3rd party apps you can get that can help a bit, but I think the main answer is that if you are using templates and graphic rich features of iWeb, the code it generates is pretty complex, a side effect of making it easy to use. All that code gives wiggle room to different browsers and generations of browsers to reproduce it differently.
My approach is just to keep things as simple as possible, and start with blank pages rather than templates. Because I keep my pages streamlined, they're universally compatible.

  • IPop Use with different operating systems Windows And Mac Osx

    so the quetion is this can i use my IPod with different Operatin systems?
    I have a MacBook at home where i keep all my Music in and at the office i have a Windows network i would like to carry some music from home to the office using my IPod. I thought that a solution is to Partition my Ipod 40G in 2 parts and have one of them FAT so that my Windows operating system can view it.
    Did any of you done it? and if so How? did you loose the use of some of the IPod functions?
    let me Know if there are ways to carry music using your Ipod from the MacOSX to Windows Prof or home edition thanks!

    Your problem has nothing to do with data vs music. Music IS data. I've used my iPod for data and music since the first iPod was released. There's no reason to think the two OS versions are involved either.
    Look at your usage practices - and I'm not necessarily suggesting you are abusing your computer. Has one of your computers crashed while the iPod was connected? This could cause data damage that might explain the problem. Have you ever disconnected the iPod without un-mounting it first?
    You might also be creating fragmentation problems if you frequently add and remove data files while at the same time adding and removing music. One decision I made when I was using my iPod to transport lots of movies and photos for a project was to NOT make any music changes during that busy two week period.

  • I am using firefox 4 and my website looks different in the LCD and Laptop(both with same screen resolutions). The same looks ok with firefox 3.6. Why i am getting this difference?

    I am using firefox 4 and i can see difference in the laptop and the lcd. The site looks fine with firefox 3.6 for both and also for all the browsers. Only for firefox 4, things are getting screwed in laptop, as it looks fine for the LCD.
    You can see this link as an example.

    Even the footer doesnt shows the css in laptop, but the same is fine for LCD.
    NOTE: I have tested this on most laptops.

    Well I see that you and I share the same problem, I posted the same type of question and am anxiosly awaiting replies on this topic, as it is very important
    I own a small business, and every hour a customer cannot view my site is a customer lost to incompatibility issues.
    I hope someone can help answer these issues.

  • Where can I down load older versions of FireFox for windows and Mac for testing my application? I need to have copies of version 3, 4 and 5.

    My tesm develops .net applications that must support many browsers and we need access to download older versions of FireFox for windows and mac computers, so that we can test our application prior to rolling out a new version.
    Where can I download older versions of FireFox

    Firefox 3.5 is an antique version that is chock-full of security vulnerabilities.<br>
    Firefox 3.6 also contains security vulnerabilities; it stopped being supported on April 24.
    * [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/]
    If you can't run the latest version because your system doesn't meet the requirements, it's highly recommended that you use another browser that is secure. TenFourFox is a third-party build of Firefox that is kept up-to-date and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and PowerPC Macs (as a side note, I've never seen the site go down; whatever problems James noticed 9 months ago must've been a fluke).
    * [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/]
    If your system can run the latest version, but you want to downgrade because you've experienced problems, please start a new thread and someone will try to help you.
    If you understand the security risks but want to downgrade anyway,
    * Firefox 3.6: [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html]
    * Firefox 3.5: [ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.19/ ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.19/]

  • Why does Muse website look different Mac vs. PC

    Why do adobe muse websites look different on a Mac vs. PC? www.915day.com for example. Looks great on my mac, but when you go to the PC version it looks zoomed in at least 25-35%? Why? (I have thus adjusted it to look good on a PC.) Frustratingly, to center the Logo for one platform, means to put it off center on the other. Defeats the whole purpose of Parallax scrolling. Also, who would pay so much a month to the creative cloud if they can't even offer their clients continuity? I understand there is a difference between older browsers and new, but it tests the same way even on a new browser (Windows 8 browsers). I have tried adjusting the canvas to the exact measurements of the screen on my PC but it renders the same. Also I have turned on the HiDPI just to see if that was the case. Still no fix. There is only one instance of this in the forums and it has still gone unanswered. So I am asking in greater detail why this is an issue.
    Anyone?

    I tried to check the site display in multiple browsers on both Mac and windows , but I was not able to verify the issue.
    I believe you have already resolved the issue.
    Thanks,

  • HELP! Please :) my website looks different in different browsers. Link boxes are showing in IE!!

    Please help me!  I'm pretty new to web design.  Built this website from scratch - designed in photoshop and put together in dreamweaver.  I launched the site and it looks great in safari, but had a friend look at it with explorer and the blue link boxes (the one that lets you know you have something linked in dreamweaver) are showing up on the interent explorer browser and I can only assume there are issues in other browsers as well.  Please help if you can.  Here is a link to my website:   www.shandryntrumble.com  Thanks

    Thanks for your help!Should I create an external style sheet?  I'm still unsure of where and what to put in the document.  Where are the CSS  tags?  And what exactly do I place in them?  Sorry, I'm so new to this.  Thanks for your patience.

    Bad information.  You don't need a class for this.  Simply add the following CSS code to your style sheet.  An external style sheet is preferred but it if you don't have one yet, add this code to the CSS inside the  tags of your HTML document. /*remove borders from all linked images*/a img    Nancy O.

  • Is QT DVD Player different on Windows and MAC?

    I have both Mac and PC computers. QT 7.1.3 is installed on both. I can view both commercial (Hollywood) and non-commercial mp2 content on the Mac but not the PC. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and why?

    Is QT DVD Player different on Windows and MAC?
    There is no such thing as a QT DVD Player. On the Mac there is a QT Player which does not play DVDs and there is a DVD Player which does. You are probably trying to compare the DVD Player on the Mac with the QT Player on the PC here.

  • Why does my site look different in chrome, safari and explorer?

    Hi,
    My site looks ok in Firefox but it looks different in  chrome, safari and explorer...
    I have already tried to clean the cache and delete cookies, what I have to do?
    Thanks for helping!
    Livia

    Hi Livia
    I have checked the file and can see that you have used a slideshow for browser background , the page fill is the hero image where the thumbnails are disabled.
    If you remove the slideshow then the issue is resolved as the red bar in top and white bar at bottom comes fine with all browsers.
    Please remove the slideshow from page background and use the same image as browser fill which will fix the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

    Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
    I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

    This is from a tester describing what happens on a Mac:
    No the program does not launch properly on the Mac
    What happens is this.
    I open my applications folder
    I open the App Folder and see another folder labeled Program V2.1
    I open that folder and see the Program blue icon which click to launch
    The folder disappears and the blue Program icon appears in my dock along side other applications looking ready for launching.
    This is where the problem starts
    If I click on the blue Program icon which is in my dock along side all of my other application icons they all drop off the screen. like the screen resolution changed suddenly or something,
    The menu along the top of the screen also moves off the screen . in the same manner
    so my desktop which usually has a visible dock at the bottom and a menu bar on the top now doesn't show either of those elements.
    I do have a couple of document icons on my desktop , you know text files or what ever they never move
    If I now click my mouse anywhere on the screen all of the icons return including the blue Program icon still sitting in by dock, if I click it again same sequence of actions.
    I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Air and got the same result
    I also want to mention
    The top menu on the mac tells me what application is active, you know "finder" "Open office" "Firefox" what ever is program is running and active shows there
    Program has never show up as being active in the top menu so I'm guessing never fully launched

  • Help please with ipods dock windows and mac based

    Hello everyone,
    I have an ipod but want to upload from two different locations. I found out from a reply from a previous question that I can do that but my problem seems to be that I have a windows based laptop at home but at my other location in my office I am using a Mac. From what I read I can not do this from one location to the other without reformating my ipod everytime which would be useless to me sense I do not have the same music or do all of my purchases from one location. Is this possible to upload from a windows and mac computer from two different locations or is this impossible? Thanks in advance!!!

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.

If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
    Then see this.

  • IWeb movie format to play on both Windows and Mac?

    A friend of mine said that they couldn't view the movie I uploaded.
    I have Virtual PC 7, and also couldn't view it.
    I installed Quicktime on the Virtual PC and though I could now download and play the movie, (with audio that went in and out), it still wouldn't play on my site in Explorer's browser window.
    In the Explorer browser on my site, Quicktime started to load, and then the big blue Q logo faded to light blue with a grey question mark in the middle.
    I am looking for a format that I can post my movie in that will be viewable in the browser by both Windows and Mac.
    I haven't tested mpeg-4 yet although I've read that it is compatible because I can't get a version that even looks decent before I upload.
    Are there any other options?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Powerbook G4 1.67mhz 1gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Also, strangely, (there are two movies on my iWeb
    site on two pages), one of them shows the QT window
    with the first frame already visible, the other one
    has the Q blue logo, and doesn't display a frame
    until the whole movie loads.
    This may be a difference in the way you encoded the movies. For quick and dirty (and not too involved) preparation of video clips for the web, I really enjoy using a little program that Kyn Drake recommended to me called iSquint ( http://www.isquint.org ). All you do is drag and drop your movie files to the window, then select the quality setting, and then click GO.
    The movie formats that iSquint puts out have all worked great in iWeb....no waiting for the whole movie to download, always shows a frame of the movie while downloading, and easy MPEG-4 conversion (you can also use H.264 if you want).
