All the more reason to let it run only when absolutely necessary.
If you're running Firefox then you need: NoScript
Exactly. See my post #17...
I’m trying out the Safari beta now. It is faster than IE6. Is there any way to import all my many bookmarks from IE6, does anyone know?

Oh, in addition, since you bought a new Mac after January 6th, you are eligible to get the update to iLife’09 for $9.95 (normally $79) if your computer doesn’t already have it.

You just started a great journey. iLife is some nice software.
With swordmakers help, I started switching to macs at home. now we have a mini and 2 macbooks. my kids create videos/dvds, and just have fun with their computers. as a home-schooler, I decided to get them the best equipment. So far, thrilled with their macbooks. Except I don’t get to use them as much as I had hoped...
A guy here at work balked at the price for a while, finally purchased a macbook a couple months back. Now that has used it at home for a while, he says he would pay even more for it...
Maybe that was supposed to be 4.2? ;’)
Bump for later.
I confess... I am a computer dummy.
I downloaded it, then installed it, did restart and when I opened Safari, a very impressive screen filled my monitor. I hit the FR file, it opened. I clicked to close FR and the entire screen closed. Now when I hit Safari, nothing new!
What am I not understanding or what did I do wrong??
The bata did download, I checked that.
Thanks for any help.
Can this be installed while keeping the current version intact? That's never an option with IE, but Opera always offers it, and I'd be more inclined to try this if it can run in that manner. Thanks!
I downloaded it to my iMac.
Can anybody tell me how to turn it on?????
You closed the window and didn’t quit the program. Click on the Safari icon in the Dock again, then go up to the Safari menu, click it, and click “Quit Safari” to close out of the program entirely. Then you can reopen Safari by clicking on the icon again.
Alternately, you could click on Safari in the Dock, then go to the File menu and click “New Window” and go back to browsing.
Doesn't look that way... but you can use Time Machine to return to a previous version.
Nothing wrong. Look carefully at the tool bar and you will see some differences. There is a reload icon/button at the right IN the URL field. The add bookmark + button is permanently attached to the URL address field at the left. Below that is the Bookmark bar... with a difference... it has a grid pattern next to the Bookmark book icon which invokes the Top Site screen. Also, at the top right corner of the screen there is a + icon/button for adding a Tab. Go to a website with graphics and text and click on the large A tool in the tool bar and watch the entire page magnify without distortion or loss of resolution. All of these are new. There's a lot more to find.
You're shooting from the hip -- or someplace lower and farther back...

Safari 4 is designed to run under both OSX & Windows. See
Apple Debuts Safari 4 Beta for Mac and Windows
Including this:
" A new Windows-native look in Safari for Windows uses standard Windows font rendering and native title bar, borders and toolbars so Safari fits the look and feel of other Windows XP and Windows Vista applications."
(Was that a knee-jerk reaction -- or just another tingle running up your leg when you think of Bill Gates...?)
Got it... thank you.
Got it... thank you.
I switched about a yr ago.
Had the MacBook about 2 mos. before I discovered 2 fingers on the trackpad = right click.
I'm sure you are smarter than me a found that out right away. :)
If you do digital photography you’ll love iPhoto.
Adjust pics on the main pic, not a thumbnail and then wait until you click ‘ok’. to see the results.
(and it saves the original so you can go back if you want)
IMHO it’s killer.
And the ‘09 version has face recognition. I don’t have it, yet.
Not sure how well that works though.
i was using photoshop cs3 on the pc (have two desktops and 2 laptops besides this new macbook).
i was in the process of scanning all the family photos to disc and editing them for my daughter.... i am excited to see how iPhoto works.
:D
