The way websites render is out of your control. Try a different browser. Try making your viewing window larger or smaller as a possible work a round.
If you are truly using 10.4.11 as you indicate, more than likely your browsers are outdated version which may not be compatible.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

it's meant to work like that
so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

Why are there databases for two websites in my appdata roaming firefox default profile folder?

C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\http_www.fling.com_
C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\https_cashier.bovada.lv_
Both of these website databases have 64 KB and are io_temp.sqlite files. I want to know how they were created and what information is being stored there. I know my boyfriend goes on the bovada site alot but want to know if he has personal login info stored for both of these sites. I know they aren't cookies because I saw the list of cookies and deleted them and these files are still there. I really want to know if the only way the websites could be in the folder is because he intentionally saved info stored on those sites and if not, then why are they part of his roaming profile?

hello, i could find no documentation whatsoever on what the ''databases'' folder within the profile or a ''io_temp.sqlite''-file would do in the context of firefox (maybe this was an early version of ''dom storage'' or ''indexeddb'').
if you are having questions about the usage of these sites by your boyfriend, you should probably speak with him directly about this, instead of finding an answer this way...

Why are people asking for certain model numbers

why are people asking question such as this ? Hi I was wondering if you could send me the model number of this item I am looking for a specific Model and want to make sure before I bid. The model I'm looking for is G3 the model number will start like this CGN5

Go to this link and you will see that WRT54G/GS models from version 1 to version 5 are diferent if you look at the amount of RAM and Flash they contain.
More RAM and Flash is better of course.

Why can't I access certain websites, such as google or facebook, in any browser?

This started last night, and it is strange. I am unable to access a few websites, such as Google, Facebook, and the sign in page for my google account. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all with pretty much the same results. I have reset the original settings in these browsers, cleared my caches and browsing data, ran the disk utilities and permissions check. And still the same results.
Two particularly peculiar things have been occuring.
In youtube, I am unable to sign into my account in two of the browsers, and in Chrome I am already logged in but the autoplay of my watch later playlist acts very odd. one the main skeleton of the website is loaded It will show the red bar of the video loading across the top, then instead of playing the video, it skips to the next one. It will continue down the playlist without playing any video whatsoever and marks the videos as 'watched' afterwards. I can still use Yahoo search with no problems.
Here is the really odd thing. When I tried to load youtube in Safari, which I almost never use, it sat and spun waiting for the website then in the end it took me to a 'get google chrome webpage;' this was the same in Firefox (see attached images). Note: the navigation urls are facebook.com and youtube.com, but the favicon shows the chrome icon and my homepage is not set on this. I also included the network traffic overview to show how 47 servers are being accessed via Safari with only three tabs, none of which have loaded. And Chrome is not my default browser.
Also, I have a network montitor that I watch during this and it is very busy going to many different websites accessing over 50 different servers. These are websites which some I recognize, such as chat.facebook.com, and some webservers that I don't recognize. But I don't have any of these open in any tabs and hadn't tried to get on these sites for days.
Two things which may have contributed to these anomolies:
I updated to OS X 10.9.2. It was downloaded two nights ago, and I told it to restart the computer in an hour as I went to sleep. I assumed that it was already installed, but when I opened the AppStore today, it still had to go through the install restart process. Since this update invovled changing how website certificates are handled, maybe my downloading without doing the proper restart install caused something weird to occur. It is true that all of the affected websites do use an https: SSL address. But if this is the case then why wasn't this issue fixed when I finally did a correct installation. And why is there so much traffic to websites on the browser activity that have nothing to do with the open websites in the browser.
The final thing is that I read about how Adobe Cloud accounts, over a few million, were recently stolen. When I was researching this I found a link that was supposed to show me if my account had been one of the compromised ones. I went to the website, http://www.geek.com/apps/how-to-check-if-your-adobe-account-was-hacked-1576194/ which led me to the website http://adobe.cynic.al/, and ( stupidly) entered my account email to search if it was on the list, only to realize after that this was not a legit adobe webpage. If memory serves me correct, the problems going to webisites was worse after I did this.
So, I thought I would bring this to peoples attention. I am now going to do the only thing left I can think of to try and repair this so I can watch my youtube newsclips and google searches again, and that is to do a complete reinstall of Mavericks and then a migration from my backup afterwards, Unless someone had a better idea. BTW I did go through all of my main accounts to websites, using a different computer, and changed all of my passwords.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
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. 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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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 (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. 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, just press return three times at the password prompt.
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.
10. The test will 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 the results. No harm will be done.
11. 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.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Why are text tones downloaded as ring tones?

I purchased 2 what I thought were text tones for my iphone. However, they were downloaded to my ringtones. I do NOT want ringtones that say "You have a text". That's just dumb. Not sure why they would even put those in the ringtone options. Is there any way to move them on my phone? If not, I just wasted my money. (Spent an hour trying to find help on apple/itune website. Not user friendly!)

There are no customized text tones at the moment.
ONLY ringtones.
You CANNOT customize text tones at all. There are NO text tones other than the standard ones. None. At all.

Why are texts to my phone going to my Mac?

I recently bought a new iMac. As soon as I turned it on, I noticed that texts sent to me from other Apple devices are now showing up on my iMac even though I never configured it to do anything like that. Also, people are telling me that when my computer is turned off my account outright rejects the messages. This is unacceptable, how do I stop texts from going to my iMac?

Hi.
I too will link to the original post.
It can depend on what you set up and where.
The process would normally be something like this based on the history of the features being introduced.
The iPhone would have the Messages app turned on the the iPhone number would Verify.
It can then use the iMessages Service.
If you also Enable SMS it can SMS/Text Chat to non Apple devices.
You would then Enable an Apple ID in the Messages app on the Mac for the iMessages account (in some cases that can also be AIM account IDs).
This will mean you could specific Test sending from the iPhone Number to the Apple ID and also back again.
Next came Linking the two (Syncing as Apple (Wrongly) calls it).
You add the Apple ID to the iPhone Setting.
This links the two.
The Mac will show pop ups soon afterwards saying what the iPhone is using.
Accepting these shows the iPhone Number on the Mac as a Receive At ID and a drop down appears for Start Conversations From
Obviously you can then choose on both devices which is going to be the Send From ID.
I use the Number on the iPhone and the Apple ID on the Mac but that is just my preference.
This cases iMessages sent to either the Apple ID or the iPhone Number to appear on both devices.
If you set it the way I do you get duplicates as the Send from the Apple ID is synced back over the iPhone Number link.
Basically the sync is only "Display on All Devices" as after you get them anything you do with them only effects that version on that device.
Then more recently we have SMS (Text Forwarding).
Most iPhone and Yosemite combos can do this.
You set it on the iPhone. It causes a Code to appear on the Mac which you enter back on the iPhone to link the two.
In some ways it looks a bit like Blue Tooth pairing but it is not. It uses the LAN network which the iPhone is normally connected to by WiFi.
(i.e. for this bit Blue Tooth does not need to be ON).
If you have a young enough Mac and a good enough iPhone you may also be above to use the Handoff and continuity features of Yosemite and the iOS 8.1.x
These do need Blue Tooth to be On and the devices paired for this.
My Mid 2011 iMac cannot do this and my iPhone is only a iPhone 5s so I have no experience of these features.
However my understanding is that Enabling Handoff/Continuity is not app specific which might be why you think you have not set it up.

I have an iPhone 4 and the new ios7 platform. Why are texting not sending?

I downloaded and installed the new ios7 platform to my iPhone4 and now I cant get text messages out. Texts that people send to me arent arriving until days later. Apps are crashing. Calls are being dropped. My phone basically no longer works. When I can expect a fix to this? Thank you!

Could be a contact problem. There are certain places inside the headset port where proper contact is needed for the various functions the Apple headset has, for example the Remote/microphone unit that cheaper headphones don't have.
You should have your phone checked by an Authorized Apple Service provider or by visiting an Apple Store next to your place.

Why are text alarms coming through after Do Not Disturb hours?

I set up Do Not Disturb hours as 9:30pm-6am, but I just got a text with audible alarm at 10:10pm. Shouldn't that not happen? How can I fix it?

Was your phone locked with the screen dark when you got the text?
DND only applies in that case. If you're using the phone (unlocked, screen on) Apple assumes it's ok to ring your phone, issue alerts, etc. as normal. I don't agree with that, but that's how it works by design.
And, also note that if you have an Alarm set, it is played thru the speaker whether DND is active or your Ring/Silent switch is set to silent. Alarms are always played, unless the phone is powered off.

Why is Firefox "lagging" with certain websites ?

Why does it seem that http://www.bing.com/weather/ (and certain others) (I'd say 97-98 % of the time) cause the Firefox "not responding" message ? Granted Firefox recovers usually within about 30 seconds BUT it's getting to be really annoying because it seems that it's an ongoing problem.

Why can't Firefox open certain websites?

There has been a couple of websites with the ".aspx" extension that will not open.

Im not really sure what your question is about. To me it seems like you are talking about internet explorer and your question is about that. We are a support forum for mozilla firefox only, most of use that answer questions are clueless about most features in firefox.

Why does my Mac block certain websites?

My Mac blocks Yahoo and Facebook most of the time. I was told that this is not my router or modem and is a security issue. Why does it only block specific sites? I can't seem to find anything in my security settings.

You're connected on a private and particularly an access-controlled and restricted network, and the administrators of that network have decided that connected users shall not expend available resources and bandwidth with access to various web sites and/or web services.
If the network administrators have established the blocks correctly, you'll need to use fairly advanced techniques to bypass the blocks, and attempts to bypass these blocks — whether the bypasses are successful or not — may well be considered grounds for network disconnection and/or disciplinary action by the organization.
It's common to log these sorts of failures and attempts to bypass, and — given they have control of the switching gear — it can be feasible to uniquely identify the client computer that's making these requests. If not the specific identity of the client computer system or the credentials used, then the location of the client computer that's attempting the connections.
Check with your network administrators, and with the site's policies and procedures.
