Safari will not bookmark web sites but Firefox will do so

I am using 10.4.8 on a PPC iMac and have discovered recently that Safari does not save new bookmarks for me. I go to Firefox and Firefox will do so. Any suggestions?
iMac G5 2.1g Mac OS X (10.4.8) Safari 2.0.4

Hi,
It sounds like your bookmarks file might have become corrupt.
Before checking the bookmarks file, trash the Safari preferences file just to make sure that is not affecting things:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, try this:
1 Export your Safari bookmarks via the Safari File menu -> Export Bookmarks...
2 Quit Safari
3 Move /Users/YourUsername/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist onto your Desktop
4 Restart Safari and use File menu -> Import Bookmarks... to import the bookmark file you saved in step 1.
If that does allow you to save sites again, you can trash the Bookmarks.plist file you moved to the Desktop in step 3.
Let us know how you get on and good luck.

Safari won't open web site but Firefox will

Using Safari 4.0.3 (6531.9)
A site that I visit regularly has recently started giving me an error whenever I try to access it. I can get there just fine using the latest Firefox. I've tried emptying the cache and resetting Safari to no avail.
Here's the error message:

Safari in both MacOS 10.6.8 and Windows 7 will not open PowerPoint SlideShows but Firefox Will

Having Created a PowerPoint Slide Show I find that it cannot be shown with Safari neither in Mac nor Windows 7.
The error message in Windows 7 is: "WebKitErrorDomain error 102"
The error message in Mac OS 10.6.8 is "Frame Load Interrupted."
The exact same Slide Show is easily shown with Firefox 28.0 in the Mac and Firefox 27.0.1 in Windows 7

To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory …
I'm assuming you mean the Early 2008 iMac since there is no "late 2008" one. AFAIK, it came with 2 GB of RAM standard & the common BTO option would have been 4 GB, so can we assume that you have installed an aftermarket memory module to get to 3 GB?
I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
What repair and setup? Is this something you did after getting the iMac back from service? If so, what exactly did you do?
I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side.
Do you mean the Windows drivers or something else? Did you follow the Bootcamp install procedure exactly when reinstalling Windows or not?
I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums.
What video firmware download do you mean? AKAIK, there are none for early 2008 iMacs.
No offense intended, but it is hard to understand exactly what you have done because while you mention much, you don't say a lot about the specifics for a lot of that. In general, it is best to concentrate on those things & keep the commentary to a minimum.

# Question
It is very annoying when I am at a favourite web site and Firefox will not automatically redirect to another page. It is so continuous and I have to "Allow" through the whole time I am at my favourite web sites.
Here is one of those sites:

You can make it automatically redirect by doing this:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Advanced > General
2. Untick the 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' option
3. Click 'OK'

I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect to Netflix . I have restarted it and check wifi

I updated my Apple TV and now it will not connect to iTunes but it will connect and play Netflix. I have restarted Apple TV and checked wifi connection.

    1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
    3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Safari won't open web page that Firefox will open

Hello,
I have a specific page on my website that Safari will not display but Firefox will. I have cleared the cache, cookies. Shut down everything, started up...no help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi Eve
Web design & programming are done by humans and nothing is perfect. BUT the site compatibility issues may force me, albeit reluctantly, to switch browsers. I hope Apple, will please, please make Safari more compatible. Form is secondary to function.
On the Mac platform, multiple browsers is the way to go if you want to cover all bases. Here's a list of available browsers:
Firefox 2.0.0.5
Camino,
Mozilla,
Opera,
Shiira,
OmniWeb (shareware).
The Internet has evolved into quite a mess when it comes to site coding practices. For example, there are some sites, using antiquated, proprietary Microsoft software (such as ActiveX) that simply will not play on the Mac platform, Further complicating this situation, some site developers have a tendency to create sites coded specifically for Internet Explorer for Windows, and/or use sloppy coding, which invites other problems into the web experience. By contrast, Safari conforms strictly to web standards promulgated by the Web Standards Project, which may trigger rendering problems when it comes to these sites. In this instance, it's helpful to contact the site developer about your awkward browsing experience.
So there's quite a mix-bag on the web. Personally, I prefer using a browser adhering to coding standards designed to promote conformity, security and safe browsing, rather than the alternative of "form over function". For that reason, Safari is definitely my browser of choice.
For video content, such as Yahoo, CNN etc., which does not play as well on Safari (because of how the developers code these sites), I use Firefox. Others here report Camino or Shiira being good alternatives.
On OS X it's quite easy to have multiple apps open at the same time, so going back and forth between browsers is not a problem. Also, you can export your existing Safari bookmarks to another browser, which maintains some degree of uniformity.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

ISO 6 Safari will not bookmark web pages

I have upgraded to IOS 6 on my iPhone four, when I try to bookmark a web page in Safari it will not save the web page. I have turned off ICloud in settings, because Safari is alway syncing with iCloud. But this has not solved the problem. I wish I had not up graded to IOS 6, what is wrong with Apple crap Safari, Crap maps and phone seems to be slower with battery drain. What is going on? Can anyone help me. It is really starting to pee me off because I cannot bookmark any web sites and as a consequence I am losing loads of information.

Hi,
It sounds like your bookmarks file might have become corrupt.
Before checking the bookmarks file, trash the Safari preferences file just to make sure that is not affecting things:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, try this:
1 Export your Safari bookmarks via the Safari File menu -> Export Bookmarks...
2 Quit Safari
3 Move /Users/YourUsername/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist onto your Desktop
4 Restart Safari and use File menu -> Import Bookmarks... to import the bookmark file you saved in step 1.
If that does allow you to save sites again, you can trash the Bookmarks.plist file you moved to the Desktop in step 3.
Let us know how you get on and good luck.

Firefox 4 (nor other browsers) do not load web sites but IE can

Hello,
Firefox suddenly stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked. - uninstalled firewall - '''did not worked '''- added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - '''did not worked '''- Firefox reinstallation - '''did not worked '''- Firefox complete uninstallation (registry including) - '''did not worked '''- IPv6 disabling - '''did not worked '''- diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - '''did not worked '''- new firefox profile - '''did not worked '''- complete coockies, history... deleted - '''did not worked '''- there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB) originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes, I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my including. - IE is working perfectly and without proxy - other browser - are not working also - only IE is working - I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
Any ideas, solutions?
System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
Thanks everyone for the help

Yes, skype was running that time, but....
1) I do not start Skype automatically with Windows start up.
2) I cannot use any browser for web pages loading
3) it seems to me as something is preventing to browser go to the internet cos firewall never recognized any request for connection to the network.
findings:
- firewall nor defense+ is the problem - we have tried it already - with different conditions and with completely uninstalled
- plugin container.exe cannot be started, but I think that Firefox should be able to run without it
- IPv6 is not a problem
- Skype or Hamachi is not cause of this problem
- Firefox is able to run with manually set proxy server - but is slow
- IE is running regardless everything what is preventing to run other browsers
The easiest way will be to reinstall the windows. I have killed innumerable hours to solve it without success - reinstall is at least sure solution
Anyway thank you for your help

Firefox will not remember web site passwords

I have set the security option to remember passwords. I have also set the web site to remember passwords. I still have to log in to my home page every time I open Firefox.
The home page is www.symbaloo.com.
Internet Explorer remembers it without issue.

Safari 8 not working in Yosemite but Firefox does

Latest version of Safari (8.0) intermittently stalls under Yosemite, but Firefox connects to internet normally. This message is being posted via Firefox.
??? Earlier today, Safari worked fine. Unsing my wi-fi connection to internet. Stopping and starting Safari has no effect. Re-booting might, but what is the problem? Macbook Pro mid-2010. -Jan

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.

Font will not bold in InDesign, but it will in powerpoint? Help.

Hi, I am still new to Indesign. I am creating a brochure and I need to bold the font "Edwardian Script ITC". I have used this font in powerpoint and I can bold it there, but I am not seeing this option in Indesign. Why? Is there a way to get it to bold?
Thanks,
Christina

Moved to InDesign
Off the top of my head I would assume your Edwardian Script font does not have a bold instance of the font. Microsoft’s software will frequently will fake it. But a program like InDesign will not. It wants a true bold instance of the font so that you have no problem when it comes to output your file for professional printing.

Please help I have feature sheets to do.

Hello Firth,
Did you choose "Print in Grayscale" when you print? Please check your print setting.
If not, I would like you to suggest you to reinstall the software and get a firmware update in case if color options is not enabled.
Please let us know how it goes.
