Macbook OSX 10.6.8- Google Drive/Host

I could kiss you!

I have searched and searched for a browser that would all me to do word online, google drive, youtube. All to no avail. I have been writing bits of my dissertation in text edit. Yeah.

I have been looking. i've tried opera, camino, roccat, amongst others. None were supported by drive.

Well I tried the extended support firefox and

whilst listening to music.

For three months, since I broke my mac pro, I've been reduced to this. Gmail:

Hello 21st century, you were missed 😉

Glad to hear you were able to get a usable ESR version from their site;

as there are two (one is for 64-bit, the other older 32-bit) where I looked.

I've an older MacBook1.1 early edition with only Leopard 10.5.8. There

is (or should be) also a version of SeaMonkey browser (has email client)

that may work OK with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Also, if you have to re-install Snow Leopard and update to 10.6(.8) note

there are updates for just the Combo Update v 1.1. ~ As many as three.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

I have a Macbook 2008 with snow leopard and have had problems with Safari not loading a website page correctly or not connecting. I just downloaded Firefox after reading this thread, but when I use it to connect to any website, I get a message "Connection not secure" "Web site has not been appropriately configured" I am not techie and do not know what to do.

Can't be of much help on your other issues, except to say that at least 10% of Mac users still seem to be getting by with Snow Leopard on a daily basis, so I'm sure there are several here that can help you with most of those issues.

run scans with Clam on basically everything - but how outdated it must be!!

If you have the latest commercial version of ClamXav which may be the only A-V software available that still supports 10.6.8 and above, then you are just as up-to-date as everybody else that is using it. BTW, you should still be receiving XProtect updates from Apple.

I fully expected that malware developers would start targeting Snow Leopard users when Apple support stopped, in the same manner as they have been observed to attack vintage Windows users, but thankfully, that hasn't happened yet.

If you can go online and read http://etrecheck.com/#about to see if you could

make use of Etrecheck to create a report of your MacBook status, then post it

into this thread, that may be able to get some ideas going to find a resolution.

With the Time Machine software in the Snow Leopard system, you can create

a backup to an external hard drive; that could be handy later in the process of

restoring some of your wanted content, in a fully new installation of SL 10.6.8.

Ideas on Time Machine, backups, & a few items Snow Leopard hasn't. One

such item that will not apply to Snow Leopardd 10.6.8, is OS X Recovery.

•Apple OS X and Time Machine Tips:

The Etrecheck report can show details such as free vs used hard drive capacities,

the total amount of memory (RAM) installed, what kinds of extensions or items that

you may have choking the Mac and its OS X, and so on.

Other incidental reading, such as the 'performance' section, from here:

http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/

Among these 'tech guides' is a 'manual adware removal' method, since the later

version of adware medic (known as malwarebytes for mac) won't work on S.L.

Another idea, get & try the last supported version of FireFox (ESR) for Snow Leopard:

• English (US) Mozilla Firefox Web Browser - Extended Support Release:

Download - Mozilla Firefox (ESR

Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
