Hi Melanie..... - welcome to the forum! But you've provided scant information and a cryptic 'wp' (work place?) - please tell us: 1) Computer (model/year) you are using; 2) OS X installed; 3) Safari version (current one is 8.0.2); 4) Names of the other browsers that work; and 5) If 'wp' is your workplace, is a VPN being used?

Also, what types of images/sizes are you uploading? Did Safari work before, and if so, what has occurred recently on your machine/software that be the issue (e.g. OS X upgrade)? Dave

Hi RadDave - hi sorry wp means wordpress site, and i have just found out why nothing works it seems that safari does not regularly update their browser for pc, it is always a few versions back and does not support html5, so i will have find someone with a mac, i do have a mac for video work but have never been able to connect it to the internet, wont accept anything - very difficult are macs
thank you so much for your quick response
Melanie
any idea when safari for pc will be updated?

I guess I have to ask.... why are you even using Safari for the PC? That's like using IE for the Mac. Neither are any good except in their native environment. Surely you can use Chrome, Firefox, or even IE to upload the images to WordPress?

Hi, yes but as a web designer i need to test if the sites i create work on all browsers, and have to add extra code sometimes to make sure they work, thats why when i tested my latest site in safari i got the big surprise that nothing with html5 worked

Hi Melanie - thanks for the additional information - assumed that you were on an Mac - Apple seems to have stopped supporting Safari on Windows (see the version history shown below from Wiki - not sure when this chart was updated?) - but really out of date for your purposes.

Now, you do have a Mac (I'm a switcher from PCs about 2 years ago and am quite comfortable w/ the Macs I own) - let us know if you might want to use Safari on that machine? If so, please provide adequate information, i.e. Mac model/year, OS installed, amount of RAM, and HD size. Dave
