Hey Cause - have you tried with a different web browser? And is Safari up-to-date? I'm afraid I know nothing about Macs but that is your most likely culprit. There was a period about 3 weeks ago when Firefox just refused to load the home page, yet everything else worked... just used Chrome for a bit until FF was updated.
I've looked around. unfortunately my mac is to old. I'm at 10.5 All the good stuff starts at 10.6. Ya, leave it to the younger folks to have more fun... : ) Be a wile before I can get a new computer. Was tossing the idea between a new one and a riding lawnmower. Mower is being delivered Sun. No more walking around my yard after being on my feet for 12+ hours a day! Looking forward to it.
Eight years..! good going but maybe time you got a new 'un....as a long time windows user of 16 years
i'm doing all my stuff with laptops these days, and a mega-powered desk top and screen for recording.
I briefly went for Apple recently, I got an Ipad Air, and after weeks struggling with the thing to behave (many of my files and things on the Nation wouldn't work) it died on me, no power, I took it back to Currys and they didn't want to know and told me to take it back to Apple...I eventually arrived at Apple in Westfields shopping centre London and had to wait an hour In a queue of people with faulty Ipads! they replaced for a new one, all my new photos gone....I sold on ebay for much less than I paid and will never have another Apple in the house again..
Going back to your question, my advice is buy an HP laptop with windows 7 pro or 8 with windows explorer and you'll be flying again! (-:
oh...and don't buy anything you can't plug a USB stick into!
Just get firefox or chrome.
I assume its a power pc one to be stuck on lion ?
if you only do internet and mail etc its more than up to the task.
If you have a spare hard drive you could try an install of ubuntu on it, they still support ppc..
Most people no longer need a computer, a tablet is plenty unless you program or do video, audio editing or something heavy lifting like that..
I believe most problems wind up being related to Adobe Flash. I don't believe Apple products support Flash, but maybe that has changed.
I know if I log on here with my iPad, part of the chat window works, but I cannot private chat.
Thanks for the replies folks!
I have a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Was great when I got it. Found info. Got it in 08. At 12.44 PM on Dec. 04. : ) still have the sales receipt. Don't think I ever had a windows computer last this long. Usually start crashing. had three die of viruses. The last one was my last one. Actually the last windows computer I owned I took an axe to. But that's a different story.
Yes Mac supports Adobe Flash. had to look that up just to make sure. I may try reconfiguring my security to see if I'm blocking things on this end.
Thanks again everyone.
Out of all the forums I belong to this is the only site I have these issues with. Did what I could on my end. Nothing different.
Updating to something slightly newer would only get me so far. Then I'd be out of date again in no time. I'll enjoy what I can from this site. Not like I can't watch vids or post.
OK I started this topic eight months ago. Procrastination is a man's right. Right? : ) Or ignoring an obvious problem and hoping it goes away. Or not asking for directions. Not reading directions. Not getting directions or help till something's bleeding, broken or currently on fire. Can I get an Amen!
I just got a notice from my IP, "We no longer support your internet browser". My browse is on the list. Just not the one old enough to have a clay tablet and rock carving tools. When your internet provider is giving you hints. When you can't add email accounts or use live chat help. You start to think,"wonder what else is going to stop working soon...." Yep. Time to invest in a new box.
