    without the URL you are trying, it is hard to test.

     

    try a different browser - Firefox, Chrome?

    Are you sure you have a PowerBook (discontinued 2006)?

     

    Many sites will simply not work with the ancient version of Safari that Powerbooks are constrained to use. Also, the highest version of Firefox any Powrbook can run is v3 and they are up to v44 now. Chrome will not work at all on a PowerBokk..

     

    So is it very important that you fully identify what mac product you have. Otherwise we are guessing and that is seldom a good thing for you.
