Mountain Lion/Safari 6 doesn't work well with YAHOO MAIL...

You might need to install the latest version of Java. Try doing this:

Open Applications->Utilities->JAVA Preferences.

It will prompt that noversion exists and will check

for one. Click okay and it will find and install.

Just went through that myself and should give

you version 1.6.33-b03-424.

As soon as Montian Lion finished intalling the first thing I noticed was in Yahoo Mail Clasic there is no longer a "check all" but everything is still the same in Google Chrome. Why is Safari stupid now?

It will be a huge inconvenence if I can only deleat one email at a time.

Also I did update Java as well as check for any avalible updates.

Any one else with this?

Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure which Yahoo e-mail I have, but I do have the option to "check all". I can't imagine that Safari could remove a function that Yahoo has placed on it's mail site.

I have yahoo clasic, been using it for years now, and only after Mountain Lion did it change.

Still looks and works the same in Chrome but missing the check all box in safari.

I cant think of what would be diferent on my mac than others.

Guess I should just wait and see if other people expereance problems as more people start using Moutain Lion.

I know Yahoo e-mail uses Java a lot. As long as you are running Java 1.6.33 you are runing the latest version. Can't think about what else could be doing that.

Since it's only Safari and not Chrome, the only thing I can think of is that its how Safari uses Java, not necessarily Java itself.

After all Java and Yahoo Mail Clasic are the only things that did not change.

I am not saying that apple removed functions from yahoo site but something has changed.

Java SE 6 Apple Inc. 64-bit 1.6.0_33-b03-424

Java SE 6 Apple Inc. 32-Bit 1.6.0_33-b03-424

I have only been using Mac for about two years, I know am not an expert. But dose apple have a help line or something for people with questions or problems?

Preferably one where the first question is not "can I have your credit card number"

For something like this, no. I would try updating to the new version of Yahoo mail. It's really sleak and moves fast. You are running the latest version of Java, so I'm assuming the old version of Yahoo mail is the issue.

I understand your reasoning but I like the Classic and don't like the new version.

I never had a single problem until the moment I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

The OS is the only thing that changed.

so my choice is get ride of mail classic, or get rid of this wonderful new OS? I like what I am used to, I don't want to get rid of Mountain Lion just because a minor problem on major site is a huge problem. There has to be a solution or work around.

So far I did all the obvious things, Java, flash, reset Safari, check for any updates, what more can I do?

It is immensely frustrating when simple things become overcomplicated.

I cannot be the only one with this problem.

This is just stupid.

I opened yahoo classic in both Safari and in Chrome, and side by side I noticed all kinds of things missing in Safari.

I used to love apple, but this update is disappointing at best.

Safari is the most used app on just about any apple device, and its now the one with the most problems.

this is just stupid.

I have the same problem. And I have not installed Mountain Lion...merely the new Safari 6 Update. I can't check "Delete All" in my Spam folder in Yahoo Classic. The "Delete All" button is gone.

Also, and more maddeningly, outgoing e-mails no longer redognize my Contacts...and the "Insert address" function doesn't work. I'm forced to open up my Contact list for EVERY e-mail I send...and can't copy to multiple people.

What's up?

hatefromnew york - where did you find 5.1.7 to downgrade?

I just tried the Java Script upgrade and it worked ... Applications -> Utilities > Java Preferences -> ... click update

I updated Java Script...stil it won't work.'

I do use Yahoo Classic....and I'm using the update to Safari 6...but with Lion...I don't feellike prematurely upgrading to Moiuntain Lion.

So, could you tell us how you uninstalled 6 and got 5.1.7 back? I already downloaded 5.1.7 from a mirror site, after I realized I couldn't go back with Time Machine (the last full backup was a day before and I would have lost a ton of work here and there..). So, I tried to install it and just I had thought, I couldn't, since a "newer version is already installed". Might be a hack for that?

Anyways, I'm just fed up already. Links don't work for me either, on most sites after a little browsing. I'll click a link and it holds at maybe 10% of the progress bar, and just sits there. Submit buttons don't work, etc.. Most of all, I hate the new web inspector (I'm a web designer, and use this frequently to check a site's code). It just isn't the same. 😟 On top of that, I hate the full-width tabs, and a lot of my extensions aren't working anymore, or properly.

Please let me know how you managed to install the previous version, and if all your bookmarks, preferences, history etc are still intact.
