Why does a page open in safari on my iBook, same page won't open on my iMac

this is driving me crazy. since the last security update or so, (not 10.4.6) i have not been able to load my 4 most used pages in safari on my iMac, they just won't load. every other site loads. no problems accessing the same pages on my iBook, same apple updates as my iMac and i sync the bookmarks through dot mac. i've read the threads, trying all pieces of advice, except disk warrior or whatever the utility was. but wait there's more. opera, and camino won't open these pages on my iMac either. i have copied the 3 internet.plist and safari.plist from my iBook and put them in preferences on my iMac. still no go.
i'd be most grateful for any other ideas or suggestions.
cheers

my solution...
did a repair disk from the 10.4 disk.
it found some "problems" that needed repair on
the volume. not sure what that means and sorry
i didn't make note of it.
most important, safari is working like a charm
and my iMac seems zippier.
cheers

FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7.

FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== yesterday for no apparent reason.

I had this problem once before, And now again.
The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
Hope this clue helps.

Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Probably a glitch in Safari.
Quit Safari - double tap the Home button to reveal the multi-tasking window at the bottom. Swipe sideqays until you see the Safari icon. Tpa-and-hold until the red circle/hwite bar appears, then tap that to close Safari. You might do that with all the icons to be sure.
Tap the Home button to close multi-tasking.
Restart the device (hold Home and Sleep for around 10 seconds untl the Apple logo appears).
Fingers crosed, that'll fix it

Why can't I buy more international songs in the U.S. iTunes store??
Because the owners of the songs have not licensed them for sale in the U.S.
Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time?

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time and split the windows in two on my screen? Right now, I have to open Safari and Firefox to get the split screen. I know I can press command to get multiple tabs, but that's not what I want. I want to use Safari on two open windows.

HI,
Open a browser window in Safari. Then Command + N
Press command and ~ or ` to toggle between the windows.

I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
1. What OS are you running.
To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
Version number:
Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?

Why does't apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account?

Why does't Apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account? I have time to read during the day via a browser, but not by Ipad or Iphone. I love the features that iBook offers, but I have had to settle for Google books which is slow to upgrade its features. I just want to be able to highlight, copy and past and make notes and also have the option to read a book in a browser like google books.

Wow.. I'm almost sorry that you spent so much time writing that post.
Unfortunately, it would have much more impact if it were true.
Just because you don't know how to do something... that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I do what you say can't be done every day.
You just need to put your iPod into manual update mode, and everything will be fine. You songs won't be greyed out, and you can play them with no trouble at all.
So, next time you need help with something, just ask for help and we'll help you. It'll certainly make yourself look less foolish this way.
Ranting and bashing Apple for no reason isn't going to win many people over.
