Apple Problems?

[remotemark]

My babymama has a Mac that I have been using at home. However, whenever I come to this site, the computer freezes up and I have to shut it off. Any ideas?

throw more money at the apple salespeople next time


which browser are you using?

No problems here, Macbook.
I'm using Safari 4 which is nice and fast but not as stable as Safari 3 was. Mac OS 10.5.7 and Safari 3 was incredibly stable... I had multiple browser windows and tabs open without restarting Safari or rebooting the computer for 52 days. The only reason I rebooted was to install some software updates. The last Java update seems to have improved Safari 4, it's been stable since I installed it, but it's only been a few days.

What computer, OS version, browser are you using?

I'm not sure about the versions, but it's Safari and I think the OS is Leopard?

No problems on my Mac either.....



Is this the only site that it does it on?

You can get the version information by clicking on the apple and selecting 'About this Mac' [close the pop-up with the red button] and then clicking on the word 'Safari' and clicking on 'About Safari' [and close the pop up]

Yes, it is only on this site that it has happened. I just got my out-laws to the airport, will check versions this evening.

Okay, it's Mac OS X Version 10.4.11

and

Safari Version 3.0.4.

There _was_ a later Safari version [3.2] that had some bug fixes. [I have that version running on an elderly iMac G3] But, that is probably no longer available with the release of Safari 4.0

I would not currently recommend Safari 4.x to anyone [I think I have a conflict with a 'click to flash' plugin, but it may be the browser itself.]

I would recommend downloading Firefox [or it's slightly more mac flavored version 'Camino'] and seeing if there is any improvement when using an alternate browser.

I use a MacBook most of the time and I haven't had any problems while browsing using FF.

That was happening to me a while back until I switched to

"Low graphics - Dial up style (no gallery)" in the bottom left corner of the page.

I hate IE! I use Firefox unless I need to go to something like Outlook Web then I have to use IE. IE 8 is really stinky. They HIDE the menu for file, view, etc, by default!

I have also used Opera, which was pretty good, and I have loaded Safari for Vista -- Apple getting back at Mr Gates , but I like FF best...

there's a nice firefox plug-in called "IE Tab" that will opn IE in a new
tab. very handy.
