Loading picts in Safari, with latest build of 10.4.8 - Build 8N1106
First I want to apologise for posting this in the wrong spot earlier.
So I have an issue with a lot of web pages. I have a G4 dual proc, Myspace (even before I log on) and Flickr.com work fine, but last Fri I bought the MacBook 2.0 ghz, white, Intel Core 2 Duo, and most web pages it takes a long time to load (60 sec) and the picts have a blue box with a white ? mark in them. Called tech support 3 times, the 1st time the guy blamed java and when I disagreed with him he disconnected the call. Called 2 more times and they said it could be Flash or Shockwave. After trying about everything I formatted and re-installed which took 1.5 hours on this new fast machine (was a quick format not a long one - on my G4 it takes under 30 minutes!) No change. One tech told me to go to the Apple Store. When I did, they said I should have called for an appointment, but booted to an ext test drive anyway, and on his drive myspace and flickr were fine. His build was older as it was for a MacBook Intel Core Duo and mine is the Core 2 Duo. Mine is Build 8N1106.
Lastly, when I click on an app my cursor freezes for 1-2 seconds as well. Ran TechTool that came with my AppleCare plan and all tests pass.
So in conclusion, it is certainly software, my build of 10.4.8 and the other build was fine last Sat. Apple needs to be made aware of this and as tech support is closed I found all of these threads of issues others are having.
Please please help as I mostly surf and this really stinX! ๐
PS. My firmware and SW updates are up to date. Happens in other users, other browsers, and updats the latest java, shackwave and Flash, even trashed my internet plug-ins and QT plug ins just in case. Reset PRAM, wanted to reset NVRAM but Open Firmware seems to be gone. And I reset Safari all the time when I try something new, no luck. Tried at a local coffee shop too to ensure it is not my ISP.
Again please please help me an others with this issue ASAP!
