Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have a Mac question for anyone who can field it.
I have a late model MacBook Pro running the most recent version of Leopard. I am running into trouble with any website that has Java or Javascript. I keep getting an error message telling me that Java is not installed or enabled.
I reinstalled Safari, reverified the disk and permissions and made sure Java was enabled in the Preferences. I still get the message.
The Apple support discussions are giving me no love.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
quester,
can you open the website with firefox?
I can sometimes but Firefox is acting buggy too. Internet Explorer is useless. This is an issue with the website where I order my meds and my new bank's site. It is very annoying!
quester, I'm not a fulltime Mac user, but a quick google suggests that reinstalling Java might fix your issue and doing that on a Mac entails doing Software Updates. [link]
O, that's for older versions. I have done all of the usual updates and still have the problem.
hmm.
do you have extensions on safari or firefox that may be interfering?
like maybe you need to shut off an extension or something?
Nothing that I'm aware of.
Hey, I have an audio file on a computer that is not mine. I'd like to download it from itunes and email it to my actual computer. Is that possible? If so, how can I export it?
I've been all over the itunes help and google but am apparently blind to this answer.
bonny, you can drag a song directly from the library to a folder in your directory (you might have to reduce the size of each window so you can have them both on screen for the drag). This will create another file in whatever folder you drag it to. Then you can just email yourself the file.
Search for it by filename in the Finder* (not iTunes) and email it directly from the source folder.
[*or Windows Explorer - sorry, I hear iTunes and immediately assume Mac]
