I am a long time mac user and I recently upgraded to leopard. Has anyone else had really slow browsing of myspace? It was an issue in tiger as well, its not really a big deal. But, my whenever i browse myspace pictures take forever to load. Now in leopard i can't even upload pics or change my top friends. Again, this isn't a big deal I'll just do it from another computer but it still bugs me a little. Any solutions? anyone else even get this problem?

why can't you upload photos?

If you are talking about the change of the iPhoto Library to a package it is very simple - start your upload and when the window coms up to select your photos put the view in column view, click on the pictures folder and a media browser will open at the bottom of the list showing you all the iPhoto folders, albums etc making it easy to select a photo to upload

I too have problems loading the myspace pages and pics. It takes a very long time and it doesn't load all the pictures, there are many blue question marks. When I try it with my work computer (windows) it works extremely fast. How humiliating! I don't have any problems uploading, though. I have the new aluminum iMac 20" with Leopard which I just installed yesterday. It was pretty slow with Tiger, too, and Safari 3.

The MySpace thing is a real issue for Macs, but probably because your Mac loves you and is trying to tell you to get the heck out of that debauchery.

Besides the obvious and/or likely invasion of various ware, bad css, ads, broken code, etc coupled with traffic on MySpace servers, there seems to be fundamental contruction issues with the site itself that "trip up" the Macs. The Mac/MySpace problems are not unique to user profiles - the entire site is glitchy/******/hunk-a-junky.

I'm investigating the issue at the moment and if I find anything that helps I'll let you guys know. Cheers!

I don't think it helps to turn this into a "political discussion" rather than look at what might be happening. And it could be lack of Java 1.6 on Mac (Vista has 1.6.3) or coding and display or WebKit.

And yes, it is now a popular target for trojan horses and malware and attempts to find vulnerabilities in anything like a "social" web site, or SQL (which saw 10s of thousands of servers compromised over the weekend but now cleaned up). Which would impact a lot of network traffic and congestion, and maybe not limited to just the two mentioned.

I tend to run with javascript disabled, along with plug-ins, except for specific sites.

If you have enabled Safari's developer menu or debug, there should be option to change the user agent. Both platforms. "Inspector" can display what a web page is doing and point out code and bugs or performance issues with loading an element, memory use, threads.

If you do use Firefox, be sure to use NoScript to help block XSS, redirects, and other alerts.
