Safari and Mail that come intalled on the Mac.

Is Safari and Mail anymore or any less secure then FireFox and Thunderbird.

Hi
Safari and Mail are quite secure and integrate very well. I'd say they are equally secure as Firefox and Thunderbird.
I prefer Safari over Firefox because of the ease with which it interacts with other Apple applications such as Mail, Address Book, iChat and iCal. I like Mail, especially the latest version in Leopard, because of its "Smart Folders", integration with iCal and Address Book, and various templates available for composing E-mails.
I use Firefox as my secondary browser for instances where web content and Safari are not compatible.

HT3743 I bought a used iPhone 3 from eBay my husband tried to update it and all that comes up on the screen now is the imei and iccid numbers with iTunes icon and a USB have I bought a dud or what

I bought an iPhone 3 from eBay and when my husband tried to update it all that comes up on the screen is the imei and iccid numbers along with the iTunes icon and a USB. I can only use it for emergency calls as that is all that happens when I slide it on. Have I paid $250 for a dud phone or what can I do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated .

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unofficially unlock it. You can put it in Recovery mode, connect it to iTunes and Restore it in iTunes. Then you will need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial numbers and find out which cell provider it is locked to. After you get that information contact that cell provider and see if you can get it officially unlocked.

Wi-fi is connected but safari and mail say "not connected to the internet" and "check outgoing server"

When I try to connect to safari, I receive the notice "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet". I get a similar message when i attempt to open any of my three mail accounts, which I have since deleted and tried to reset. The message is something along the lines of "cannot open account - check outgoing mail server..."
I am using the same wi-fi address I've always used. The ipod shows that it is connected to the server and should not be having problems.
I've already done a network reset, twice. Other computers in my house work just fine. This was a spontaneous issue that began two days ago. Again, it's affecting both mail and safari (that includes itunes store, maps, anything internet based, really - it says "cannot connect")
Thanks.

I am using a MacBook Air connected to my home WiFi and the connection is trouble free. When I try to connect my 3G iPhone to the same network it asks for my password to join and then shows the WiFi connection with full bars BUT when I launch Safari on the iPhone is says:
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"
I went to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... and this did not help
I went to Setting > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings ... and this did not help
I checked the DNS settings under Wi-Fi > my home network > DHCP and the address there (192.168.10.1) matched the number on my MacBook Air under "Network Preferences"
Safari on my iPhone was working flawlessly with Wi-Fi connection only 24 hours ago.

How do I fix safari and mail that displays text incorrectly (html rendering?)?

help. I have a problem after using migration assistant to move an account to my new imac running os 10.6? what can I do to fix this?

I would recommend starting over and using Setup Assistant to migrate. SA and MA are cousins, similar but different. The primary differences are SA is more reliable and does not create a second user account. I would recommend using Setup Assistant tips beginning where it discusses "Second Chance...."

Safari and Mail Questions

I have short of a million questions... I would like to focus on a few that will impact me immediately when I receive my MacBook Pro and start using Safari and Mail.
First off...although I am using Chrome from my current PC laptop to write this topic I notice that Chrome for some reason is not spell checking as I write. This is strange as I thought Chrome spell checked everything--but maybe that is so only if I'm using Chrome's default editor when composing? So I see how to toggle a spellchecker ON but there doesn't seem to be any functionality with it to add a word or select a word spelled correctly. The word 'formating' gets underlined but doesn't suggest why? I hate the feeling that I might be going 'backwards'.
1. Does Safari and Mail come with built-in spell checkers that work as you type and/or at least review using F7 before sending? If not are there 1st or 3rd party apps/plugins that will do this?
2. Does Safari have a built-in Preview option that works similar to M$'s IE9 browser (which btw does not spell check) where you can highlight text you want to print; enter the Preview window; view how the highlighted text will appear; resize it if desired; enter the printer preferences to select automatic double-sided printing which my printer does; and finally print? If Safari cannot do this directly is there an app/plugin that will?
My underlying goal is to use what comes with the Pro and _not_ to end up with a couple different browsers and email programs. On the fly spell checking and print formating what I want to print are two very important functions for me and I would like to know my options _before_ I buy the computer because one bottom line for me is not the hardware I use and take for granted but the software programs that I directly interface with daily. In a way Safari and Mail are more important then the Pro. In still other words I'm taking advantage of the need to get new computer hardware to end up with better capability. I have to do enough homework to know up front that I won't be regretting the change.
Thank you.
I don't even have the MacBook yet and I'm already frustrated with Apple just getting through this post on their support forum!

3. Does Mail introduce an ad at the bottom of ever email sent like Gmail does or is it ad free?
Just figured out that on a misspelled word you first have to toggle the spell checker to get words underlined in red; then left click to highlight to get suggestions. But the suggestions do not include adding a properly spelled word to a dictionary--I don't like that. I sure expect better from Safari and Mail.

Safari and mail icons disappear

The Safari and Mail icons keep disappearing from the dock on my iMac. I've dragged them back from the Applications folder, and they disappear again within seconds. If I open the applications from the Apllications Folder, the icons appear on the right side of the dock. Then, as soon as I close the applications the icons disappear. I've deleted the dock preferences file, and i"ve also disabled dock synching from Mobile Me, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions ?

Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

I have just come back from holiday and started my mac up and I have a white spot next to my Finder, Safari and Mail? why?

Are you talking about the indicator for open applications?
If you're on Lion, it just reopened apps that where open when you shut it down.

Am not able to use facebook on my Iphone 4, softwareversion:iOS7.1, also tried to access through safari and chrome that i have installed it gives an error message saying: "safari could not open the page because server stopped responding", i tried network reset, reset the whole device, rebooting , changing airplane mode rebooting nothing fix the issue, but i can access other sites and google , am using Vodafone as my carrier with 2g network, when at home able to access facebook.com through wifi in safari requesting assistance thank you

If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

Safari says "i cannot open the page because the server cannot be found" I get this on Safari and Mail does not function. Apps work like a dream. All Windows OS are screaming. Any thoughts?

I was in full screen mode and now that I have exited, the main toolbar for Safari is gone. So please don't say go to View. Each time I click off of safari to the desktop, it shows me the Finder Toolbar. I have opened and closed Safari many many times.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen, both from Safari and Mail. ???

My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen from Safari and Mail. ???

Have you tried closing the two apps completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari and Mail apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading.

Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.

I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing. In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=245
Remove is ASAP. Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it. Try this:

As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple. However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.
