Problems with browsers Safari or Chrome not supported

My Mac OS X version 10.6.8 having problems with browsers Safari or Chrome not supported and nothing is fixing them,,, DO I need to update my MAC and what you recommend? Thanks

You can upgrade your ram for a fraction of the price of a new computer http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook/White/2.13GHz
Your Macbook is going on 6 years old, it's up to you to update it so that it can run modern software. I'm still using two 2009 macs without a hitch.
You might give Firefox a try for an alternate browser. It's much better than Chrome and I think it's still supported with 10.6.8

  • 23EL933G problems with media player - file format not supported

    Hello,
    i joust bought a 23EL933G led tv.
    The tv works well, except from the media player:
    it not plays a lot o media, souch as pictures, mp3, mkv...it answers: File format not supported.
    i have updated firmware from original version 112 to the most updated 116 but the problem is still there.
    i used both a usb key and a usb hard drive.
    I have all my file organized in directoryes. Is the player capable to explore the directories and play only the compatible files?
    thanks

    I found user manual for this TV series EL933

  • Internet browsers safari and chrome not loading some web pages

    My wb browsers (chrome and safari) are running like a dog on some websites.. For instance, not able to login to Apple Community page on Safari had to login on Chrome. Same is true of some pages on Chrome.  Not sure if there is a bug? Any tips?
    Thanks.
    V 10.6.8

    Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so, check the Little Snitch preference panel (under System Preferences) to make sure that there are not any Little Snitch rules denying Safari access to any ports. If only HTTPS sites are being effected, specifically check the rule for Port 443, as Safari needs Little Snitch to allow connections to that.
    I am not sure, but I think the update changed these rules around, at least on my computer.

  • Error message: URL's with the type "file:" are not supported.  I get this pop-up twice each time I enter Safari and Mail.

    Everytime I go into Mail and/or Safari, I receive a pop-up the states "There was a problem connecting to the server.  URL's with the type "File:" are not supported.  The pop-up comes up twice each time and I have to click "ok" to close them.  Only started after install of OS Lion 10.7.  Any one else have this and is there a solution.  It is just plain irrating that is does this each time I check my mail or go on the internet.  Thanks!

    That's interesting. I bet that helps other Safari users! 

  • Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.Upgrade to the latest version for full support. That does that mean exactly?

    Problem viewing forms.This form is not supported with the current version of Adobe Reader.
    Upgrade to the latest version for full support.
    What exactly do I need to do?

    That means you were probably using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's. Acrobat is totally unnessary, you can view PDF's in Preview (Applications - Preview).
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. It's very difficult to help  someone when they don't provide any information about their system. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

  • "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

    i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

    I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it.  Then I  shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

  • There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported. OK

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Leopard, but now I keep getting this message when I open some web-pages and every time I wake the Mac up after going to sleep. For some odd reason I get it in Swedish sometimes (installed language) and some times in English...

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

    After loading Lion, I have been getting an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server.  URLs with the type "file:" are not supported."  There does not seem to be any actual problem with internet connectivity, but it is persistent and annoying.  Any idea of its cause and treatment?
