which browser!!

Dawn · Feb 3, 2009

Hi recently brought a mac desktop which is os x leopard loaded with safari,
Im having problems going into some of my usual sites that i used with the vista which had I E Loaded,( Which i have to fire up the slow machine to do)Not good!!! Some will not except passwords etc, tried firefox and this is doing the same, Is there something i need to do with my mac i.e install etc, or is it just a case of the browser, thanks

Sounds like a case of the website to me.. if it doesn't work with firefox or safari then the web developer is junk (IMO).

You can get IE for a MAC btw and see if you can log in with it

Do you have private browsing switched on? If so, try switching that off on Safari and then giving the login another go.

Have you installed flash?

Adobe - Adobe Flash Player

Also install Flip4mac to view streaming WMV

Windows Media® Components for QuickTime

Give us the links to the sites you are having problems with and I'll give them a try.

Would these help for the following problem, Member of 3 forums kids noticed they can no longer save their game score on one of them but can on the other two, but if they play on the vista they can save it all on the three, kids they always find a problem, along with a couple of other sites this is the only probs so far!! Will check out adobe flash player think its already on here!!

Give me a link (Or the name) to the site(s) and I'll try them here and see if it does the same for me.

Have done a bit of investigation and V Bulletin reckon they test their stuff on all browsers, including Safari, so I'm lost as to what is causing your issues, sorry.
