My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work. Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work. Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
Works about 50% of the time.
It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

Browsing for other Macs on same Local Area Network

I have two Macs both with Appletalk turned on and both connected to a local area network. The router hands out IP addresses, i.e. they are not fixed. I would like to either browse for one computer from the other or enter the NAME of the other computer and have it located. I carefully check the other computer to determine its name and enter it in the "Connect to Server" and it isn't found. I try browsing and it doesn't show anything except a applications/Library/User folders in "network" None of there are on the other computer.
I have to log onto the other computer, look up its current IP address, then enter it on the one I want to connect from.
It should be possible to locate other computers that have sharing turned on.
What do I do to make this happen either automatically or when I browse. Even Windooze can locate other windooze machines on the same network!

I imagine you've already done this, but when you copy the computer's name, you changed the spaces to dashes, right?
If this is the Computer Name as listed in "Sharing":
My Isolated Mac
When you connect to server (apple-K), you type this for the "server address":
My-Isolated-Mac
I've had this problem with the Network Browser too. Today in fact. Sometimes the "Network" item in the left column of a Finder window wil have a tiny "eject" icon beside it, and when you select Network, you get a list of everybody available. Sometimes you don't see the icon, and when you select Network, I just see three empty folders. I haven't figured out why, but when I did "Connect to Server" and typed the Bonjour name of one of the computers on the network, I connected and everything seemed to work again. Hmmm...
Good luck.

Binary files won't open since I upgraded Firefox for my mac.

Ever since I've updated my Firefox for my mac, I can't open Binary files. Example: When I click on an email attachment a window opens - You have chosen to open
"File Name"
which is a: Binary File
from: http:/where.ever
Would you like to save this file?
When I chose "save file" my "downloads" window would pop up but the file would not be there.
I was able to remedy that problem to the point at which the file would show up in the "downloads" window but when I attempted to open the file I would get:
! Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview
doesn't recognize.
So far this has happened with all Binary files I have attempted to open since my Firefox update.
Never had this problem before.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

Exactly the same problem. It doesn't happen with Safari. Seeking help before I abandon Firefox!

What is the max os upgrade available for power mac g5 w/powerpc processor

What is the max one can upgrade the os on a powerpc power mac g5

Hi, 10.5.8...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

Is there an upgrade path for 2007 macs?

I have a 2007 Mac Pro. Does anyone know of an upgrade path to OSX Mavericks?

There isn't one. That machine is basically stuck with Lion (10.7.5) as the last OS X version it can run. It lacks 64-bit EFI which is a requirement for OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

Upgrade plan for elderly mac mini

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions; I'm finally planning to get brave and crack open the shell of my mac mini and upgrade both RAM and hard disk.
Firstly, Crucial inform me that the maximum supported memory in my model of Mini is 2gb (2*1). This is obviously the most that they will guarantee, but is there any benefit to be gained from trying say 2*2gb or will that cause problems? Currently I'm on Tiger but would upgrade once the new memory is in all the way up to 10.6.
This brings me onto my next question. I believe that in order to move from 10.4 to 10.6 you have to buy the Box Set (http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC680Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5Mw&mco=MTM3NDgxODU#over view). Do we think that if bought during the black Friday sales it would be in the time period to qualify for a rebate on Lion when it comes out in the summer of 2011?
Finally I just want to double check that there is no problem in upgrading the hard disk up to the realms of 750gb (u.f.), I can't think of one but would love to know of people's experiences with this.
Thanks a lot!

You can put 2 x 2GB sticks in it - I believe the OS will see about 3.2GB of that, but it won't cause you any problems.
You can put a 7200rpm disk in - some claim it will run hotter and/or noisier ("a problem"), but I'm sure others have done the switch and had no problems.
Certainly, a BIGGER disk is always much faster anyway, and a 500GB drive (even 5400rpm) will perform much faster than what you have now. Many people feel 500GB/5400rpm is the "sweet spot" for size/speed/low-heat/low-noise/low-price compromise. Just don't use Seagate - many have failed (including mine) - go for WD. IMHO!
Actually, you'd better tell us just how elderly your mini is! If it's a PowerPC G4 mini, you won't get past Leopard, as Snow Leopard is (and Lion will be) Intel-only.

Hi, how is Firefox as a browser for Mac

Hi, can someone tell me if it is safe to use Firefox as a browser for you Mac and doe's it cause any problems?

Firefox is my primary browser and it does not cause any harm to your MBP or problems in general. I my opinion, I find it superior to Safari. Others may have different thoughts. I suggest you download it and try it and form your own opinion.
Ciao.

Opening a web browser on a MAC

Hi,
this is the code I use to open a internet explorer window at the approiate address in my programme when running on a PC.
//Method that opens an explorer window at the relevant address
public void openBrowse()
String cmdlocation ="c:\\program files\\internet explorer\\iexplore.exe";
site = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Nucleotide";
String gweb = cmdlocation + " " + site;
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(gweb);
catch(IOException ioe)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,
"Website is Unavailable",
"Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
//System.exit(0);
Is it possible to do the same on any Mac OS? I am not sure about the address of the relevant internet browser for a Mac.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks ,
Gareth.

Wouldn't it be great if one of the Java System properties was the path to the default system browser?I don't think that would help. For a start, not all OSes have a concept of a default browser. Secondly, I think the way you'd open a URL in Safari would be open -a Safari http://www.etc rather than /Applications/Safari.app http://www.etc

Downloaded Firefox update for my Mac and now when I open it, there is a white box at the top of the page with a grey bar in it that I can't get rid of

I updated my firefox browser for my Mac and now, when I open it, an empty white box appears at the top of the page with only a gray bar in it. It over lays the Firefox home page and I can't get rid of it, so I can't click on anything on the Firefox page. I tried deleting Firefox and redownloading it, but that didn't help. I have to force quite Firefox to get out of it. Help!

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
Thanks!

I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
"Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

Upgrade internet browser for Mac OS 9.1

Howdy. I just inherited an iMac G3 with an OS 9.1 operating system. I was wondering if A) there is a way to upgrade the operating system to something a little more modern, or B) you can suggest an internet browser to use. I'm using Internet Explorer 5 right now, which is of course very old and doesn't work well with many pages. I don't see a later version available for the OS 9.1 on the webpages of Internet Explorer, FireFox or Netscape. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
I am safely driving an iMac 350 with Panther. It is running with 256 MB Ram which is enough to enjoy it but the more the better...
The best you can do is grab yourself an eBay Account, find some SDRam (100 or 133MHz) and a copy of 10.3. 10.3 is surely working and no longer sold by Apple and 10.4 is not suitable due to the 350 slot loader has no FireWire. It is a modern OS that works great. Get a full copy, no reinstall disc from eMac etc.
But there are some things to do before you upgrade to OSX.
First you have to bring your iMac from OS9.1 to OS 9.21 or OS 9.22 by installing this update: http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_SoftwareUpdates/ (browse for your the language of your installed OS).
Then install the new Firmware. This is very important. The Firmware updater is only running on OS9.2 and you have to update if it is not already on Version 4.1.9. Look into System Profiler in the Apple menu for that information. If you can catch a copy of OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) the Firmware updater is on the discs (not on later versions!). Or ask a friend if you know one having that 10.2 CDs for help.
The Firmware can also be downloaded from Apples download site.
If you don't update and install OSX your iMac can decease when restarting due to a bug in certain FW versions. I was on the lucky side, it was working without because noone told me to do it before installing. I did it afterwards and the IMac is still working.

Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I can no longer browse for attachments in AOL Webmail, and every time I open Firefox, it asks me if Mozilla can make changes to my hard drive. I've gone back to Internet Explorer.

I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and ever since then, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my hard drive. I have to answer "Yes" or else it won't open Firefox. Then when I open my AOL Webmail and try to browse for an attachment, it freezes up the browser window and I have to open the Task Manager to close Firefox. I have now gone back to Internet Explorer which does not have either one of these problems.

Maybe just corrupted Disk Utility preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DiskUtility.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try creating a .dmg file.

I have a Mac 10.2.8 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. What is the highest upgrade I can get for this Mac because I don't want to have to upgrade my Mac or buy a new one?

I can't access certain links from sites, especially with a lot of graphics. I get messages to the effect that I need to upgrade my browser. But then the update says I need a 10.3 Mac or higher. Also any site with a lot of graphics takes forever to download. Is there an intermediate update that I could use instead for my Mac?

For Mac 10.2.8 you need Firefox 2.0.0.20 as Firefox 3 will NOT RUN on your Operating System.
Download Firefox 2.0.0.20 from HERE.... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Follow THESE Instructions to Install... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
BUT This is scheduled to be the LAST release of Firefox 2, so you will need to upgrade youur computer to receive further updates.

Safari question here... Can I purchase a browser update for my mac book? I have OSX 10.6.8 and the "update softdate" function won't let me get past Safari 5.1.10. Please tell me I don't need a new computer just yet... Thx!!

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
