Will there ever be a fix for Animated Gifs  OS 10.5.8

I realize this extremely stupid bug which has/had been around for many years was apparently fixed in 10.6, but that upgrade is simply not an option for me (as, 10.6 will not install on this machine.)
the problem is very well known (and many years old): loading a simple animated gif, even very small files, causes Safari to beachball while the gif is downloading (this can take over a minute even for a file under 250k). it should be almost instant (like it is in Firefox)
this was never a problem using older OS and older versions of Safari (even very large animated gifs loaded very quickly and did not affect system performance.)
this problem does not exist (and never did exist) in Firefox. i can load animated gif as expected, and very quickly under firefox.
why did apple refuse to fix this? why do they continue to refuse? it worked fine, and then apple broke it. and it seems like they are leaving it broken on purpose.

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Will there ever be an update for retina display on InDesign CS6?

    I know I'm a little late in the game guys...Didn't know all the details of this retina display business, but I figured it was the way of the future and I should just bite the bullet and get one. I've read everything I could find about InDesign and retina display (of course this was after I bought EVERYTHING...) will there EVER be an update for CS6, or do I have to go get the creative cloud?

    On behalf of Adobe …
    Confirming that there will absolutely not be any hi DPI updates for InDesign 8 (CS6) either for Mac or Windows. As Peter indicated, this support was part of a massive code rewrite that went into InDesign 9 (CC) to support 64-bit versions of InDesign and the transition from the so-called Carbon to Cocoa programming frameworks on MacOS.

    Update your Apple devices and systems as soon as possible to the latest available versions. Do not use untrusted networks (especially WiFi) while traveling, until you can update the devices from a trusted network. On unpatched mobile and laptop devices, set “Ask to Join Networks” setting to OFF, which will prevent them from showing prompts to connect to untrusted networks.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

  • Will there ever be video support for the iphone?

    even the most basic cell phones have video capturing features

    It isn't embarrassing to Apple in the least. It is embarrassing for someone to purchase a device that doesn't meet their needs or what is a want in this case, and then whine and complain about it. "This is embarrassing to Apple but I purchased one anyway." How dumb is that?
    Apple is taking their "embarrassment" to the bank.
    Apple made a choice not to include video capture and you can exercise your choice not to purchase one if it doesn't meet your needs and wants or sell it if you already have one and get a device that does. You have plenty of other devices to choose from that include mediocre at best video quality but you chose the one that doesn't - shrewd. Apple may never add this function and then what will you do? If I needed or wanted this function, the iPhone is the last device I would buy.

  • Will there ever be an updated Switchable Graphics driver for W500 (Vista)?

    Well the current driver is quite old and I failed in modding the current Switchable Graphics driver to include new drivers.
    So, will there ever be an update for Switchable Graphics in Vista for the W500?

    I don't think there will be for Vista; it doesn't support heterogeneous adapters, and the Vista package uses an AMD proprietary driver wrapper which I doubt will see further update.
    For us on Windows 7, we're able to apply the latest Catalyst drivers with good results. (11.4 is FAST.)

  • Will there ever be an search engine in AppleTV like Safari?

    Will there ever be an update for the AppleTV 2G to host an Internet browser such as Safari and capable of holding apps?

    ATV is not meant to be an internet tv. It is a media hub. Airplay will open the possibilities, but I don't see any native browser support coming to it.

  • Will there ever be an update from IOS 5.1.1 for an iPad 1 ?

    I had an an iPad 3g( I know it's very old ) which is running on iOS 5.1.1 . And I always wish for an update.
    Will there ever be one.Its not of much use but still an update could make it better.

    Yes. If you have an iPad 3rd Generation you can upgrade to iOS 6.x.x. If you have a first generation, then no.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    From what i understand i see that - Cookies are not transferred between your website and your webapp when installing the icon on the home screen (for authentication purposes for example). It was working until 6.1 and now it’s not working anymore.
    Can someone please tell me if this bug will be fixed in any future release, if so the ticket number of some kind that i can track, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

    Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

    Since the very first iphone/ipod/ipad, Apple has consistently released software updates/improvements/bug fixes.
