Safari / Internet Browser problems on iBook Clamshell

Hi.
I have just purchased an iBook clamshell for my partner off of ebay.
The actual system works fine and it has been updated to OS X 10.3.9 but I have a few problems which I am really frustrated with!
Basically, it needs an update for an internet explorer browser. Everytime we try and go on to Yahoo, Facebook or MSN for hotmail, it just won't load properly. I have run the Java updates and the software update but It still won't work. I tried downloading the latest safari but it wouldn't work because the system was too old!
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Internet browser problems

Hi I have recently noticed that when I go to my internet browser bar it will start to load but then stops and I have to shut the page down and start again, as anyone else experienced similar problems?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot 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. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Internet Browser Problem

I have (up until today) used Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser. Today however it suddenly wouldn't work. I checked my wireless connection. I checked my firewall connection. I checked to see if Internet Explorer was working (it is). I downloaded another browser just to make sure. It doesn't work either. So my problem is that the only browser I can currently use is Internet Explorer and I would rather not. I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872. If anybody could explain what the heck is going on or what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank You!

I answer questions about IE - not other browsers.
As I said, for Firefox, go here: Firefox Help & Tutorials

Sony Bravia internet browser problem

I have a new Bravia KDL-42W829B TV. I went onto google maps using the internet browser and the 'cursor' is stuck on the map and I cannot move it. If I press options I do not get an enter URL option or bookmark option. If I exit the browser using the return button and go back onto the browser it returns to google maps with the highlighted(cursor) area again stuck on the map. What do I do please? I had set google search page as the start page but it does not start on that. It starts on the last web site viewed, so I cannot use the internet on it except the apps. I have already contacted Sony support after having the TV for a few days when I could get sound but no picture. That was cured via a factory reset. I am starting to get dissapointed with it after one week as an owner.

Hi fjgamboa,
Welcome to Sony Community,
We're sorry for the late reply. For us to assist you better with your concern, may we have the model no. of your Sony TV.

Internet browser problems (white block at bottom of screen)

Hi,
Recently I have been unable to properly use the internet on my BlackBerry Curve. Over a quarter of the screen at the bottom when I go on the internet is white so I can't scroll down so it's unusable. I've noticed although it is accessing the internet the little blue loading to the intenet bar when a page is loading is no longer showing at the top of the screen too. If I search for something like a restaurant or something on Google for example, the first restaurant will show in the list but because of the white block and no scroll down bar I can't look at anything else. It's very weird. Can anyone advise me as to what might be happening, I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks
Solved!

Quicktime 7.1.5 & internet browser problems

Hi--
Ever since I installed the new QT, some website content I used to view with no problem has been replaced by a greyed-out QT logo with a question mark over it. I tried reinstalling, changing MIME settings and restarting numerous times with no results. Only Safari seems unaffected; Firefox and AOL continue to have this problem.
Can anyone give me some help with this? It's be so appreciated!

I have the same problem and tried the Reinstall of Flash 9 fix but it did not resolve the problem.
This problem started when I bought my new MacBook and migrated the content from my iBook HD. Didn't have any problem with the iBook

IBook G4, internet browsing and software(s) to be upgraded???

Hello.
I have an iBook G4 (powerpc G4 - 1.2, 1.33Ghz, 256 Mo RAM, 60Go HD, Safari v123 - v125.9, Mac OS X 10.3.5).
I just want to do very basic internet browsing (infos/news web sites, online purchases on famous retailer web sites, travel tickets purchase, etc...).
The laptop has never been connected to the internet until 2 days ago !!! (and all pre-installed softwares never updated online, nor off-line by the way).
I have just tried to do basic browsing on the Web but I have some issues with some websites like page format sligthly mixed up, drop-down list not displayed, sometimes stuck on some pages.
What do I need to do to make it work properly?
I would like to avoid having to upgrade any hardware as well (ie RAM).
Do I have to upgrade Safari and is it possible to do it alone without the Mac OS update?
Or do I need to also upgrade the Mac OS X?
Or could it be related to Java, Adobe flash player, other files?
I read the other posts and I guess (but not sure so please confirm!!) that my problems should be fixed if I upgrade to Mac OS 10.4.11 (Tiger) and Safari v4.1.3 (the max suported by an iBook G4).
Where can I buy these software updates: on amazon?
Last but not least, it is impossible to make "software updates" work properly.
The programme starts running but then suddenly stops after 10-20seconds.
Error message states that the laptop is not connected, which is obviously wrong.
What do I need to do to delete this old version of software updates and where can I download a more recent version which will work properly, please?
Or are there some parameters that I would need to change in my current config??
Thanks in advance for your help.

The 1.2 and 1.33 Ghz iBooks can be upgraded to 10.5.x Leopard maximum.
The Lack of upgrades to OS X 10.3.5 is probably due to the lack of Apple support for the older systems through software update. I found a link for you to try a direct download of the 10.3.9 updater.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_Combined_Update_10_3_9
I have an older iBook that can only run 10.3.9 and the internet experience is awful. It is slow and the screens are sometimes screwed up as you have experienced.
To adequately use the internet you should consider upgrading the RAM. 256MB is barely adequate and the upgrade price is pretty cheap. OS X 10.4 and 10.5 need more RAM than the 10.3.5 you currently have so a system upgrade only would not increase performannce.
(The maximum memory capacity of this system is 1.25 GB with 256 MB onboard and a 1.0 GB SO-DIMM.)
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iBooks-PowerBooks/G4-iBook/
Regarding OS X sources there are no downloads available for 10.4 or 10.5 so you would need to purchase a copy. It would need to be a retail disk(s) as there were no original install disk(s) for your iBook other than 10.3.
The links below are to some dealers but some of the prices are absurd. Ebay can be a source but be certain the disk(s) are the retail (BLACK) and not (GRAY) intended for another Mac.

I also have the plugin Java plugin 2 for npapi 13.6.0. (I am running firefox on mac).
I used to be able to log into the site. not anymore. Since then i must have updated firefox a few times.
I have cleared cache/cookies. I have disabled all plugins/extensions. Still can't get in.
What else can i do?
I have spoken with microsoft adcenter, and all they could tell me was make sure i have the latest java, which i have i guess.

The Internet browser Safari sometimes has certification errors

Safari certification errors
I am having tons of Safari certification errors.
Is anyone else having this issue?
e-how reports this is also tru.
http://www.ehow.com/facts_7598873_certificate-problems-apple-safari.html
According to Apple, the Internet browser Safari sometimes has certification errors reading certificate authorities. A certificate authority is a digital signal used when browsing the World Wide Web that signs website certificates to allow browsers to read electronic documents.

Having a good WiFi signal and being connected to the Internet are not necessarily the same. Your router can be putting out a strong WiFi signal even if your Internet connection is not functioning. Check your router, check to see if any other devices can get reach external web pages.

Backing up QuickTime's advice --
Unless your bank's website is insecure, you're fine. Go up to the Safari "Search" bar and type in Rapport. You'll be amazed. It may "work" on PCs, but definitely not Macs. And it's not needed for Macs.

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.
