OSX 10.3.9, Safari 1.3.2 and Google

I am using Mac OSX 10.3.9 with its Safari 1.3.2 and am running into trouble with doing Google searches.When I do a Google search, Safari Closes. Is anyone else using this setup experiencing this problem? Is anyone using this setup and not experiencing this problem?The system specifics are:
450MHz PowerPC G-4/ 640MB RAM. Thanks

Yep.  With Java Scripts back on, Google itself will load up and work...on Safari 1.3.2 and on Firefox 2.0.0.20., The web tells me that Firefox is as current as I can go with 10.3.
But Google mail still drops to HTML format and Google.doc does Not work at all.  So I'm a little ahead, but the grandson uses G..Docs often in school now, so I'm going to get Tiger loaded tomorrow.  I don't think it'll work and I'll talk to the tech about maybe Leopard.  And if Tiger seems ok, the web tells me I can step Firefox up to 3.5.19., or 8.0 for Leopard.  Yahoo mail seems to work normally right now.
But I know I can't put 10.6 or 10.7 on this machine.
BTY this is a PowerPC iBook G4 and not with the Intel processor...and that may be the stumbling point
(also 1.25 ram and 1.33 processor)
The Old Mac apps site: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php?system=mac_os_x_10.3_panther  is a lot of help for selection of Firefox versions.
Thanks for the thought and please fell free to toss any ideas my way.

  • I have OSX 10.9.4, Safari 7.0.5, and the latest flash player download and still get plug in failure.  How can I fix this?

    I have OSX 10.9.4 , Safari 7.0.5, and the latest version of Adobe flash player.  I have tried all the uninstall and install fixes and I still get flash player failure.  Any other fixes?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Flash won't work very well, if at all, but it shouldn't crash. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari 4.0.3 and Google

    I just updated to 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.3 (or whatever it is, the latest one). Every time I try to access Google with Safari, Safari crashes. I tested with another browser (Camino) and it's working fine. So, in some way it does have to do with Safari. Note also that - while I have not done extensive testing - it seems that Safari works well if I am staying away from Google. But after a Google-related crash I need to clear the cache to have Safari working again (on non google sites).
    What is going on? Anybody knows about a fix?
    Thanks

    It's not just google. Tried to access the ATP web site and got the same problem.
    Here's what I get from console. It may have to do with Java. Incidentally, I also updated Java today. I had updated it a while ago, but then reverted to the previous version (which is less safe) because it would crash GrowlMail on my machine.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

  • Why is safari not supporting twitter and google ?

    i have mac pro and im trying to go in google and twitter websites in safari since two weeks
    but its responding .. there is something wrong about it ..
    is it a temporary problem or it wont work anylonger ?
    any solutions?
    please help x
    thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click  Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

    OSX 10.6.8 Safari: Flash stopped working (couldn't access Spotify or videos), did clean reinstall & installed newest Flash Player, but still not working and still getting messages to "get flash"

    Right click or Ctrl+Click

    You're using the FULL installer and NOT the "stub installer".
    Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (MAc OS X)

    keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install

    Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
    Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
    Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
    Select "Open"
    Open TIme Machine
    Go back to September 28 or earlier.
    You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
    (I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
    Right click it and select "Restore to"
    Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
    It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
    DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.

  • For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6).  Other sites are fine.  I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down.  Suggestions?

    For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just doesn't) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6).  Other sites are fine.  I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down.  Suggestions?

    I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone.  It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time.  So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
    As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner.  It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
    Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing.  Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.

    how do i stop google from tracking me and storing their cookies?
    Running OSX 10.7.5 & Safari v6.02 on Macbook Air.?

    In practicality you can't. You can set the preference in the Privacy pane of the Safari preferences to ask websites not to track you, but I don't believe Google honors that setting, and they most certainly store all sorts of cookies which you probably will get even if you set Safari to block all cookies since web programmers have ways around those blocks. All you can do is delete the cookies and other junk on a regular basis. Many cookies hide, so I use Cookie from SweetP productions which does a good job of deleting most if not all of the cruft web sites leave.

  • Safari 5.1.7 and OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) - Text rendering problem with Zoom

    After updating to Safari 5.1.7, all of my web pages do not render properly when I use zoom feature of OSX 10.6.8.  I am nearsighted, and like to increase the size of web pages.  Until this update, Safari was fine--zoom, and the page zooms properly (e.g., text fits in address bar, pictures/text are not cut off, etc.).  After this update, Safari opens up text in smaller font, running in a narrow line down the page, and doesn't use the full screen, as does Firefox for example.  I like Safari, and would like to remedy this.  Any suggestions?

    I fixed this by unchecking "Zoom Text Only" in Safari > View menu.
