In the System Update list the only updates available are:
Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7
Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.0
I've held off updating these, becuase I had a horrible experience after having the Mac for only a few weeks and in trying to update the Thunderbolt firmware, the Mac bombed. I had to then spend the next two weeks getting the Mac in and out of the maintenance support folks trying to get my Mac back to life. Something went horribly wrong and they had to replace the motherboard. That said, I will not update the Thunderbolt or EFI firmware until I hear and see from others there are no issues. I don't believe these updates are related to the issues I'm having with the varoious web browser clients.
I can't say the Flash is being a problem, since I haven't seen any errors related to the Flash, but I can certainly look at updating this. I will also force quit Safari, restart the Mac and see if that makes a difference. I'll get back to you with what I'm able to determine having made these changes.
What's so odd is I took a class prior to this semester and had to log into the ACES Portal at that time as well and my Mac worked then. I was able to log in without any problems. I don't know if something has changed on the ACES Portal side or on the Mac side but something has and it's not letting me get in. I can get in using other computers and a different Mac so it has to be isolated to the Mac I'm on. Well off I go.....Thanks.
