Problems just surfing the net

Hello Everyone,
I hate to insult anyone’s intelligence, but I am a new MAC user. I just bought my ibook a few days ago, and to be real honest I am ready to toss it out of my window.
Here is the simplest of my problems: When I surf the net, most, if not all of the pages fail to come up completely. Some will show links, others just backgrounds. But they consistently do not show the jpegs. Little blue question marks show up in place. Is there anything I can do?
One more thing, is there a simple way for me to know which operating system my mac is running on?
Thanks a MILLION! - David

Hey DB -
To know latest system updates click on application name in upper bar, like "Safari" > About Safari = will tell you what version you are currently running. To check out updates click on Apple Icon (upper left bar) >System Prefs>"System" click Software Updates; this will show updates you can load.Tip: Recommend going to 'Mac OSX Software' under the blue Apple icon and downloading from there instead of from Software Update
Safari isn't working very well as of a couple of months ago. I can't get images or buttons to load and web pages take forever to appear. I recommend using Opera or Firefox until Safari gets fixed. Was hoping the Safari update or the Java update would help, but so far no dice. Please fix Safari Apple cuz when it's working well it is fabulous!!

  • My iPhone 4 has died. I was just surfing the net on my phone (a reputable hotel site), put my phone down to make a cuppa and now the screen is dead.

    Nothing I do will bring the screen back. Phone had around 30% charge and I'm charging it now but still nothing.
    I've tried all the available buttons. It won't even show it turning on or off. There's a small hole in the side.... should I try putting a paperclip in there to reset it or is that not what it's for?
    My husband just sent me a message and it hasn't come through.
    Please help!

    the small hole in the side is the sim card. Don't touch it
    Hold the home button, the round one on the bottom and the on/off one , on the top, together. Hold them till you see the apple logo. Let it reset.

  • I cannot read, use my iPad outdoors?  Cannot read books, surf the net; nothing.  Apple sold me a screen guard to helpmwith the glare, 've adjusted the settings to just about every combination but still nothing.  HELP!!

    Turning the brightness up as much as possible will help a little. However, as Skydiver notes, screens like those used in tablets and cell phones don't work well in bright sun. That's why I have a Kindle for reading outside. Not to mention, I'd feel a lot less awful if I got sand in a $100 ereader than if I got it in my $700 iPad.

  • Is it normal that the fan on MBP retina goes on just using MS Word or surfing the net?

    My Macbook Pro retina is getting hot. I know this is normal while doing stuff like graphics or gaming. But is it normal just surfing the web or writing stuff in word?
    temps:
    HD 42 (celcius)
    CPU Heatsink 53
    Right fan 5321 rpm
    Left fan 5653 rpm
    Thank you

    Surfing and working in Word normally shouldn't make your mbpr hot, unless perhaps you're visiting sites with a lot of videos (e.g. youtube). You can see if you have any background processes loading your system by running Application Monitor and choosing Add Processes. Anything over 10% is a possible culprit. Your temperatures don't really look that hot (some here report temps close to 100 C), but the fan speeds look a little high. Perhaps these readings are after your computer has cooled down a little?

  • ITunes skipping/stopping when surfing the 'net

    Hi -- apologies if someone has already answered this ... I've gone through other posts about skipping and not found the answer.
    My iTunes plays fine if it's the only programme running. However, when I surf the net at the same time as listen to music in my library, the sound skips and often just stops for entire songs, suddenly coming back on several songs later -- the iTunes player looks as though it's playing, but there is no sound. Particularly when I'm downloading a webpage, the longer the page takes to download the images, the more trouble I have with iTunes sound.
    I've already set Quicktime for waveout(only) and ensured all my drivers and DirectX are up to date.
    I've got sufficient RAM and no other programmes seem to have memory problems. I'm on a good broadband connection as well. There are no drivers that seem out of date and there is no conflict/problem according to the Device Manager. This happens so matter which internet browser I'm using, as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    You can try this out.
    Go into the Device Manager.
    Open up the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
    Right click on the Primary IDE Channel.
    Selected Properties.
    clicked on the Advanced Settings tab.
    Any device drive (CD or DVD drive) should be listed here or in the Secondary IDE Channel, and if any of them are showing in the Current Transfer mode as something mentioning PIO then something is wrong.
    uninstall the driver for that particular IDE Channel, reboot the system to force it to reinstall the driver. You shouldn't need your windows install cds for this but have them on hand just in case. The drive should be re-recognized as Ultra DMA 5 or some type of DMA drive.
    I can't really explain why a Current Transfer Mode of PIO on a CD or DVD drive that I wasn't using would cause such problems but it would appear that my problem had something to do with the sound studdering, slowing, pausing.

  • Whoops! That's annoy the wife! (She can no longer surf the net)

    I gave her my old eMac to organize her music and photos. I wasn't supposed to touch it. (She's had too many of my "computer fixes" that didn't quite work.) Since she only downloads songs about once a month, my brilliant plan to save money was to just unplug her computer's internet cable and plug that into my Airport base station. It seemed a good idea but the last time I tried plugging her computer back into the cable modem, her computer can't surf the net. Somehow, I seem to have messed her computer up without actually touching it. (Not that that will make a bit of difference to her.)
    Please send any and all brilliant ideas on how I can fix this. That will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you're not performing a complete power recycle each time you change the device connected to the cable modem.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the Cable modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)

  • Keep getting a prompt to install java even when not surfing the net. I have java installed and the control panel says it is right version. Want to know how to stop prompts. This started after I installed Yosemite.

    Since installing Yosemite I keep getting a prompt to install Java even when I am not surfing the net. Went system preferences and I have recommended version installed. I want to know how to stop the prompts. I do not have this problem on my iMac.

    Most likely, you have either the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. Both depend on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

    I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

    That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
    Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi.

  • Lion upgrade prohibits second i-Mac machine from downloading email and surfing the net???

    I upgraded to Lion this evening, trusting that that all the updates would have resolved the wireless connection problem i had when upgrading to Lion 2 months back. No hope, both my I-Macs can see one another and i can share files across the two of them. My main Mac connects to the Internet by Wireless Modem; this modem is attached to my mac by Ethernet cable. My second Mac  could connect to my main Mac and use the Internet connection to download email and surf the net.
    Now i have upgraded to Lion on my main machine, but the same problem occurs, my second machine can connect with Wi-Fi to my main machine but cannot get access to the net or download, and this was working fine until i upgraded from Leopard to Lion.
    I have created a new network, unpluged the modem, switched on again,tried everything i could find in the forums, but i still cannot connect to the net on my second machine.
    Please help, unfortunately Apple support in Africa is not very helpfull.

    So you're not using a wireless connection for your main Mac? Is that correct?
    If I understand correctly, your main Mac is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, and your 'second' Mac is connected to your 'main' mac wirelessly. is that correct?
    If  so, why not connect the 2nd Mac wirelessly direct to your router?

  • Cant surf the net when using C4580 wireless

    Hi,
    I have on C4580 and when I turn the printer wireless on my Internet just kind of freezes
    I can print and I can find computers in network but I cant surf the net
    I don't know why this is happening.
    I already fully "rebooted" router and printer configs and I got nothing...
    What can I do?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, a very simplified version (it may not work since I skipped some steps):
    First, print a network configuration page from the printer's front panel (you will need number off of it later).  Then:
    Unplug he telephone line from the router.
    Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    From your router interface, choose Advanced (along the top) then DHCP Server along the left side.
    In the Add Static IP address area type in the printer's MAC address and it IP address (from the printout).
    Click Add/Apply and plug in the telephone line into the router.
    Now everything should work.....???

  • IMAC OSX 10.7.4 Safari why does screen suddenly change to large print etc when I cam surfing the net and how do I change it back to normal size

    Safari - Since changing from Leopard to OSX when surfing the net, my screen suddenly changes to large print/icons etc.  How do I change it back to normal.  It is driving me crazy

    That's caused by the "Smart zoom" feature of the magic mouse.  It's a Double tap with one finger to zoom and repeat to unzoom.
    You can turn the feature off if desired in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab

  • Nokia 770: Can't Surf The Net In Hotels

    When trying to connect my Nokia 770 Internet Tablet while in hotels, I find that my success is hit and miss. But I can use a laptop and connect. The difference is the browser on the laptop defaults to a web page from the ISP where I have to agree to some terms before being allowed to surf the net. How do I get to this default page with the Nokia 770?Message Edited by cxbank on 26-Jan-2007
    11:30 AM

    Well, both really. Sometimes I can open the browser and surf for a while fine, then it hangs. Other times it hangs as soon as I open the browser. I've also noticed that the iTunes visualizer hangs unless it is in full screen mode. It never used to do that. In fact, I used to have trouble getting a full screen visualizer, now it's all I can do. Windows is updated. I suppose I could try sound and video card updates.

  • My mac pro book is running slow and I can hardly go on the internet without all kinds of pop ups and ads making it impossible to surf the net.

    I have a mac pro book version 10.10 that is running on the sluggish side. I can hardly use the internet  because every time I click on a link or details about a product  all the pop ups that make it impossible to surf the net. I am afraid to take any steps on my own because I am not quite that tech savvy. What can I do?  I didn't think these kinds of things happened with a mac.
