So last week... iMac stuck in the past, refuses to update web content!

Hello,
I posted a couple of questions elsewhere but realize now they may be related.
Since I installed OS 10.4.10, my iMac has been having problems updating some web pages and widget content.
For example, the Wimbledon.org home page is stuck on "Day 2 - Tuesday June 26" every time I open it using either Safari 3.0.2 or Firefox 2.0.0.4 (the same page on other computers normally shows today's date). Reloading does not help. More generally, for news sites, I need to constantly reload almost every page to get recent content, otherwise, it usually shows results from my last visit.
Also, my Apple Weather widget is giving me weather from last Friday or even earlier. I can check new cities with up-to-date forecast, but checking my regular cities like New York, NY continuously returns weather info and forecast from last week.
This sounds like a cache issue, so here is what I have done so far:
- Empty all caches (system, internet, kernel, dashboard, etc...) using Onyx as well as manually trashing folders
- Running the maintenance scripts
- Repair permissions and verify disks: all OK
- De-installing Safari 3.0.2 and reinstalling it (though the issue also affects Firefox)
- Deinstalling and reinstalling the Weather widget
- Refresh all windows and widgets using command-R or shift-click reload.
- Trashing preferences for Safari and widgets
Nothing helped. Moreover, I have no third party extension on Safari.
The exact same configuration on another computer (MacBook) seems to work fine now, though the first two days after OS 10.4.10 installation had some of the issues described above.
It looks like my computer does not want to age and refuses to update some web content!
Any suggestions, other than what I have already done? Should I try reverting to OS 10.4.9 or is there a fix?
Thanks,
Sacha

Hi Sacha - there have been a lot of problems after updating to 10.4.10, a reliable fix is to perform an Archive and Install and then use the 10.4.9 combo updater to revert to 10.4.9.
This generally fixes all problems, and is pretty painless to do.

  • I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the MacBook, and now I am always seeing it. How to remove it?

    I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.

    Backup your files to a external hard drive and disconnect.
    Call Apple and make a warranty call, then take it to the nearest Apple Store etc.
    You can run these things and it might clear your issue or give further informaiton
    Perform a hardware check

  • Itunes stuck in the past

    Itunes seems to be stuck in the past--August 18th to be specific. Every time I turn off itunes then restart it, it deletes all my podcasts and music that have been added since August 18th. It also takes 10min or more to boot up. I updated to the lastest version of itunes thinking that might help, but alas, no difference.
    Any thoughts?

    The tmp files and the .itl files are in the My Music\iTunes folder.
    Within the My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Podcasts folder there are four folders of podcasts, which seems strange because I subsribe to at least 12 different podcasts.
    How do I solisit help from B. Noir?
    Again, thank you for your help.

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
    Thank you.

    So the question says it all. Last week, I went to the Carindale Apple Store located in Queensland to purchase a iPad 2 and a iPod Touch 5th Generation. I asked one of the shop assistants when they were getting the iPod Touch 5th Generations and they had said that they didnt know that they would recieve it in a few months but they'll recieve it before next year. Anyone know the OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE of it in Australia ? I want to order it online but my mum doesnt have a credit card, lol .

    No, Apple has not set a date.

    In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • Why am I getting the flag Invalid URL for web content overlay when making scrolling panel in Indesig

    Why am I getting the flag 'Invalid URL for web content overlay" when making scrolling panel in Indesign? Iam making additions to existing articles but the problem is new. The articles were originally made using CS and now I am on CC, which I have just uninstalled and re installed, no difference, can anyone help please? Steve

    Hi Bob, thankyou very much for coming back on this. The flag is coming up towards the end of the preview process on desk top. I have made dozens if not hundreds on my two published apps on the app store, but have not done an update for nearly a year, in which time I have needed a refresher, and as usual went to Lynda. In this case I have followed to the letter your DPS course, which is great, and I found the process of making the scrolling panels somewhat easier than when I started 2-3years ago. Initially I was mystified that the flag talked about url and web content, but just put it down to something I had missed in recent improvements in CC.
    I tried over and over, but always got the same result. I thought at one point it might be because the content of my slide was copy and photo, so for a test I deleted the photo. Same result, and many of my existing slides are copy and picture.
    I also uninstalled Indesign CC and reinstalled in case of corrupted content, I also copied to IDML and relaunch, same problem. I am sure I have made the scrolling content as instructed, The one thing I havn't done is trash my preferences, if you think that would be a good Idea could you please direct me to some content at Lynda on how to do it in CC. Many thanks, Steve

  • HT202912 I get the message "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment" Do I need two versions as this article suggests?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite on my 2010 MacBook Pro.  When I reboot I get the message "To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment" and I've also seen the same pop-up once while running OpenOffice.  And now while composing this post. 
    Yes - I followed the link and installed the Oracle version of Java, version 8, and the test page confirms that I have the current version running. 
    I read some threads on discussions.apple.com but didn't like the answers. 
    I found this:  http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/advanced-tips-for-mac-os-x-yosemit e-3582877/
    and tip # 10 seems to answer my question.
    Anyone else have experience on this?

    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.

  • IMac stuck in the Phillipines!!!

    I ordered my intel imac on 1/22 and I received shipping notice on 1/26. My intial was reaction was "WOW that was quick". I figured I should have my iMac by yesterday or today at the latest. Well here is where the fun starts. Fedex shows my iMac "received after FedEx cutoff" TWICE. Once on the 28th and again on the 30th. So it showed no movement and it seemed stuck in Shanghai....then it miraculously gets scanned in Subic Bay in the Phillipines on the 30th as arriving and the then departing also. Taking into consideration the time difference that was almost 48 hours ago. It has not showed up anywhere since then ZERO activity. Shouldn't it be somewhere by now? I called FedEx yesterday and International customer service said it would be here today not to worry. I called again this morning and they said nope no way it would be delivered today cause it was not even in the country yet. It now shows the estimated delivery date as 2/6. Oh did I mention I paid for the 2-3 day shipping. Anyone else experience these problems?

    I've purchased 17inch Intel iMac last week and it said it would be shipping out on the 31st of Jan. And it did! YAY! I started to get worried after reading your posts about the delay in shipment by FedEx. I just assumed it would happen to me as well, until I just realized that my iMac is being shipped by UPS. So I wonder if Apple changed from FedEx to UPS right now because of the slow shipments. I hope so! Anyways, I just wanted to mention how odd it was to me that Apple switched to UPS. Thats all.

    The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week.  I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer.  I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made.  I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either.  How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?

    Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild.  Isn't the technical era great.
    Backup, backup, backup
    As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
    3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
    2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
    1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
    More backup copies are even better.
    Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.

  • I have just bought Ipad3 last week and now know that its spec. got updated. Is there any chance i can have free upgrade with mine to the A6 one?

    As stated in the title! Please help!

    @imwater,
    Here's what I just read on 9to5Mac:
    "For those who purchased the third-generation iPad recently... CNET reported that local Apple Stores might replace the third-generation iPad with the new fourth-generation if it was purchased within the last 30 days."
    Since you qualify for this 30-day policy, I think you have a pretty good shot at getting that upgrade.
    Here's the full story: http://9to5mac.com/2012/10/23/apple-will-exchange-3rd-gen-ipads-purchased-within -the-past-30-days-for-a-shiny-new-4th-gen/

  • My iTuens keeps waiting for a sync with my iPhone 4 that I have paired and synced up with for months. I had this problem last week then I installed the iTunes update and it synced okay for a few days.

    My iPhone is not snycing up to my iTunes like it used to thur my USB. I had this problem last week until I updated iTunes then it cleared up for a few days now its back. What can I do to fix it?

    I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?
