MySpace.com is THE most hit site on the Internet.
Lefty Bigfoot...
|
that's somewhat depressing.
|
Steve Carroll...
|
It could be... I fail to see why, though.
|
100 Million members and growing. Trying surfing around some pages with
Safari! LOL LOL LOL
Tim Crowley...
|
Have been for months. Works fine.
|
Lefty Bigfoot...
Sandman...
|
Works fine.
It's a really sucky site, though.
|
Steve Carroll...
|
Just did it. What was I supposed to be looking for?
|
Snit...
|
Do you have an example page? I am on an 800 Mhz G4 - and all seems well.
The site is a bit slow, but that has nothing to do with the Mac nor the
browser.
|
Isn't the never ending beach ball FUN!!!! What a P.O.S. OS. Can't
Tim Crowley...
|
I've never seen one on MySpace.com.
|
Tim Crowley...
Steve Carroll...
|
What page(s) did you get it on? I've been to at least a dozen and
haven't seen it yet.
MuahMan...
|
Any member page with video.

I just watched this one, too:
=762108316&Mytoken=DACE4C79-113A-5B50-D5049699031F92296435631
This worked with no problems, too.
And this one:
13665&n=2&Mytoken=F1B767EB-ECAC-832B-60FF14D859B6F7E95339670
No prob.
Wanna save time and point me to one you had trouble with?
|
George Graves...
|
Did it. No problems. What's it supposed to do? In what way is the
Mac/Safari supposed to be deficient?
Mike...
Mike...
Mike...
|
Nope. Looks to me like you are lying. Again, post a link of a page
that doesn't work for you.
|
|
The only thing deficient is muahman's brain.
Although he is aptly named, isn't he? Prat indeed! :-)
|
|
Steve Carroll...
|
ANY? I just watched this one with the whale Jumping
Steve Carroll...
|
He could be having trouble... it IS Pratt, after all.

Worked fine.

|
even check the MySpace pictures on the most popular website in all the
land.
Tim Crowley...
|
Big surprise. You couldn't drag and drop Monopoly, couldn't find your
desktop and don't know how to plug in a mouse. You have only yourself
to blame for your inability to use a computer.
|
Lefty Bigfoot...
|
Your computer is suffering from a bad case of incompetent
operator syndrome.
|
Steve Carroll...
|
What pictures? I checked a number of pics put up by site visitors... had
no problems and no beach ball. I'm doing it on an 800 Mhz iMac G4 with
256 MB Ram running 10.4.6. It works fine AFAICT.
|
Snit...
|
What did you do to get the beachball? I was not able to get it for even a
split second in my testing unless I opened multiple pages at the same time
in different tabs - and then I had to hit 4-6 to do that and the beachball

My BIN is having that exact problem on his G5. He says "macs aren't
supposed to do this". I should tell him to join this group - then his
problems would "disappear".
George Graves...
|
Your Mac using BIL would have to exist first. Unfortunately, in all
probability, given your credibility here, he likely doesn't exist and
neither do his Mac "problems".

showed up for about three seconds (I did not time it).
MuahMan...
|
All I did was click on the persons image. It then starts to load the page,
gets half way. Then beachball, and I have to Force Quit.
Snit...
|
As I said before, I would suggest running Yasu. Might help.
|
Also, why is it that when I click on the red X to close an App it doesn't
really close? I am assuming the black arrow under the app in the dock means
it's still resident in memory?
Mitch...

Because that is the way it is supposed to work -- the app is supposed

Just because DOS and Windows do it differently doesn't make that
smarter or better -- and you'd have a whole other discussion talking

about why to prefer one over the other. Both ways work fine. One is
better suited to releasing RAM, the other better suited to opening
another of that kind of document.
Neither benefit means as much today as it did in the past.
sav...
|
there are a few programs that quit when I colse the window. I find that
really annoying. Closing a window and quitting are two different things.
|
|
George Graves...
|
Like we have said: YOU DON"T KNOW HOW TO USE A MAC. The red "dot" (There
is no red "X", Dummy!) closes a window, it doesn't quit anything. Whatta
Maroon!
MuahMan...
|
Well 98% of planet earths computers close the program when you click on the
red "X". That's the proper way. Why does Apple do it wrong and backwards?
sav...
|
How do you close a window without quitting then?
|
Mitch...
|
WRONG!
That method was begun back when the comparison was close to equal -- in
other words, long ago. You can't use today's figure to show why it was
a commoner method back when it was begun.
I have explained why -- and it is clear that the ONLY reason this would
cause difficulty is the few users who can't quite absorb the idea that
the operating system is DIFFERENT.
You are totally, completely WRONG when you write that one method is the
PROPER way to do this.
You are twice as wrong writing that Apple does it backwards.
|
George Graves...
|
Maybe BECAUSE THERE IS NO RED X! Use your brain, Brian.
Snit...
|
There is a black X in a red dot - not sure the distinction matters, and for
anyone to whom it does, they likely would be willing to accept that the
"black" X is not really black, it is a darker red, as seen in this blown up
|

Snit...
|
If you want to quit the program go to the program menu and select quit. Mac
programs generally do not close when you close their last window - I happen
to prefer this behavior, but not all people do.

Update: right after sending this I opened another set of pages - and got the
beachball. Seems it does take a while to load music... maybe my computer
was trying to save me from the garbage that came spewing forth from my
speakers. :) Once the music loaded fully everything was back to being
fine, but that did take longer than 3 seconds... again did not time it, but
likely 10 to 15. Far too long for a program to be "locked up".
|
|
Keep up the good work Apple.
Tom Harrington...
|
I tried it with Safari-- works just fine.
|
George Graves...
|
I don't see what you're getting at Pratt. I browsed a dozen pages or
more in that site (not that I would otherwise have any reason whatsoever
to go there) and found no difficulty whatsoever loading any of them.
|
Tim Crowley...
|
According to you, you bought several - even thou you hate them. Must
be time for you to shout racist slogans. yawn.
|
Tim Murray...
|
You will love hearing this, Brian: There is indeed some talk about MySpace
not being particularly friendly to Safari. MySpace uses a *ton* of
non-standard HTML and Windows-specific code.
However, most problems are reported in the editing of blogs, but not much in
the regular reading of blogs, or in the generic Web pages.

Worked fine typing that lie... no beach ball involved.
