Wrong forum, but can't access correct one - need help with Safari

I'm sorry to post this here, but the link to the Safari discussion forum is broken - I've tried it about 10 times!
I've been having trouble with Safari 1.3, which quit every time I navigated to a page using a certain type of code (I don't know what it was, maybe Java or Flash?) Anyway, I downloaded the Safari 3 Universal version in the hope of improving it, but unfortunately that has completely killed off both Safari itself and Mail. I couldn't even use Firefox or Internet Explorer, although other programs such as Word and Photoshop were working fine. Trashing Safari and everything I could find related to it meant that Firefox would work (I'm using that now), but I still can't start Mail. I assume Mail needs Safari to be installled in order to work?
I've tried to download Safari 1 again, but can only find links to download the 1.3 Updater, not the program itself. Of course, the Updater won't install because there's no previous version to load it onto. Can anyone help me with a suggestion as to where I go from here, please? I'd be hugely grateful, I don't mind not having Safari but I do really need to use Mail.
Thank you!

There are many, many millions of defective, nonstandard web sites, as a brody points out. You could, if you wished, make a crusade of asking their developers to make them accessible in every antique web browser: a crusade for which you would be rewarded with a brody's undying admiration, most of those incompetent website developers' annoyance, and nothing else.
If instead you would rather just visit the sites and see what you can see of them, use Camino or Opera — the only up-to-date browsers that will run in OS X 10.3.9. Mozilla FireFox 2.0.20 will indeed run in your OS version, but it "is no longer supported and contains known security vulnerabilities" according to the Mozilla website. The more recent updates of FireFox (3.0 through 3.0.10) require OS X 10.4 or better.

My brother can't access his company's website with Safari or Firefox

This is driving me nuts. My two brothers own a home building company and paid me to design and put up a website for them. My brother Scott, who I recently switched to the Mac, can't access the site with either Safari or FireFox. He hasn't had any trouble accessing any other sites on the internet, just his own!
I can access the site no problem at home with Safari, my other brother can access it from IE 6 on his Windows machine, and Scott can access the site from the Dell sitting right next to his Mac using the same router and satellite modem.
Heres the error Safari gives: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.handhproperties.com" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I looked around in the network prefs, security, etc., but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Now this is just a very basic plain Jane website and I didn't include anything fancy. Mostly because I'm not that smart. What could be causing this?
I emptied Safari's cache and went in and deleted cookies from the site (GoDaddy must've put them there because I certainly didn't and wouldn't know how). Immediately after I did that, the Home page of the site loaded but with a bunch of errors and no images. If I clicked on any links I got the same error message as before, so I went looking for more cookies to delete but there weren't any.
He's on WildBlue satellite and my first thought was it had something to do with them because before, when he was on dial up he had no problems accessing the site. He talked to them and they claimed it had to be his Mac. The router is a cheap Lynksys that I don't think has any built in firewall.
Today I upgraded him to Leopard and hoped that a new version of Safari might clear things up but nope.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled (nothing new there).

Hi,
Have you tried giving the router a kick? (i.e. turning it off/on )
Sometimes that can do the trick even when another computer connected to it can access the site fine.

Can't access Youtube & other google services with Safari (maps, translate...))

Hello,
since I got my new Macbook (retina 13") several google websites don't work anymore.
- Youtube
- google maps
- google translate
- google play
- google books
- etc.
It's only a problem with Safari, as soon as I use a different browser like Opera or firefox, everthinks works.
If I use Safari I get the message:
"Safari can't connect to Server"
It never worked with the new Macbook, so I think it can't be a problem of a particilar software installed on my Macbook.
Thanks for you help.

Is there an y Proxy server selected?
Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Proxies:
Click "change settings"
The network preference window will open up.
Under "Select a protocol" if any box is checked uncheck it.
Click "ok", then "Apply". Close the window.
Restart Safari.

Ipad 3 sends and receives email but can no longer connect to the Internet with Safari.

Other Ipads in house (Ipad 3 and Ipad 2) work fine. Iphones, Imac also work fine. I have rebooted the Ipad, renewed the lease, closed and reopened Safari, turned airplane mode on/off, etc. etc. Ipad also won't connect to Itunes. Basically, I have run out of ideas. Thought it was not connecting to Wifi but it still sends and receive semail and texts / imessages. This is a wifi only model.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Try rebooting the router by powering it off for 15-30 seconds.

I know this is the wrong forum, but- (Mac question)

I know this is the wrong forum, but…
Can anyone enlighten me?
How did a folder named just "Adobe", containing only something called "Acrobat.com.app"), end up in my root Applications folder?
Double clicking on "Acrobat.com.app" launches an installer that wants to install something called "AIR". What is that and what is it needed for?
What forum should I be posting this in?
A global search and searches in the Acrobat Macintosh forum were not helpful.
Can I just delete that Adobe folder or ignore it? It has identical Creation and Modified dates of January 15, 2010 17:56, which raises more questions than it answers.
Any input will be appreciated.

P.S. what I wrote above is about the Windows version; I assume that the Mac versions are the same.
Maybe… kinda, sorta… There are no ".exe" files in the Mac world.
I've never downloaded or installed either Acrobat.com or Adobe AIR. It has to have been the Acrobat Reader 9.3 update for the Mac that installed that sucker on my Mac. I had certainly never seen it before.
That, on top of the inexcusable, abominably surreptitious "Growl" installed by Adobe behind my back, strengthens my resolve not to acquire any more Adobe products, free or otherwise.
What in blazes are the Adobe corporate folks thinking?

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?

I entered the incorrect password for my home wifi network, and now I can't change it. How do I clear out the wrong password so that I can enter a correct one?

Settings > wi-fi then tap on the little blue arrow next to the network you want to change. You have to tap on the blue arrow and not on the name.
Now at the top tap on "forget this network".
After that, the iPhone will think your home network is a new network and will ask you for the password to connect.

This should go on a Waterfox forum, but can't find one. Waterfox updater is failing, can't find the latest version. The website says the latest version ( 9.0.1) is only available via the uploader. Catch-22

Well there wasn't exactly an overwhelming volume of help on that!
Just so you know, having spent an hour talking to Apple and not making any progress I decided to wind back to a pre-server time machine backup. Phew - everything is working fine again now but I don't have a server!

HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud. If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.
