Re: Safari problem ?
Amber, Since this is both a Mac and a Safari problem I suspect the keyboard input. Safari is cooperative with various language inputs. In fact it's really neat that us Mac users can set our whole operating system displays to read and write in Japanese or German or any number of other alphabets. Go to the International prefs panel and check that you have set your input for U.S., not U.S. Extended in the input section. Review other input settings like the order of language preferences. You might want to uncheck foreign languages except U.S. and see if that helps with the password problems. Then go to the appearance preferences in Safari and make sure you have checked Western ISO as your default encoding scheme. Things change.

Macs and eBay
Hi, This is partially related to my previous question.It appears that eBay is not really that Mac friendly. In fact, in a discussion with one of their live help people today, I was told if you were using a regular computer, you would be fine when I was asking about the sign-in problems I was having. I was told also that I needed to update my browser..although my browser is Safari and I have the latest version. Anyway, it appears that some of the problems I am having are related to my not using a regular computer and not having an up-to-date browser that works with some sites.

Re: Macs and eBay
Ebay like many companies on line is PC anal and they are big enough that they don't care if other platform users are having issues with their site. I find Safari to be much slower on ebay than Firefox and the last version of Explorer for the Mac to be almost unusable on ebay. Tom On 12/4/05 8:32 AM, Amber R.

Re: Safari problem ?
I've come across several websites, including one for one of my jobs where we report daily activity, that Safari wouldn't work with--kept getting a system error when trying to log on. I switched over to FireFox--and haven't had a problem since. I now do all my browsing with either FireFox or iCab. If I didn't need Safari to be on the 'book for some internet settings (I found out from this list--you have to set your default browser, even if it isn't Safari, IN safari. Go figure.), I'd probably nuke it from my system. It just doesn't seem to be as compatible as you'd think it'd be. Later...Howard -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Macs and eBay
I use eBay with no problems. Tech support is woefully ignorant. you're back to keyboard/input problems. Make sure that you don't have Universal access enabled.

Amber, You must have stumped him with your reply. Either that, or his pee- cee was experiencing the BSOD syndrome. Way off topic, but still has me laughing...about a month ago I went through the McDonald's drive through for breakfast. It had one of those nice, new video screens that display your order. After about a minute, I was asked for my order. I gave it, and it was repeated back to me. Silence. Then I was given the total. I waited before proceeding to the window because throughout the entire ordeal, about 3 minutes; the nice, new screen had an image of Windows Scan Disk running (well, sort of) that was stuck at 87%.

My point is that many support types are too dumb to support Mac users because nobody uses them. I still remember the headache I had when calling my ISP to setup the 190 on my dialup account. Try using Firefox is all I can suggest. I use it on my PC, as well as having setup FF on my Grandpa's OS X machine. I'd run it on mine, but the Lombard won't be in until tomorrow.

Amber, New idea: download and run a utility called DoktorKleaner. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21470 Its a shell script that runs various repairs based on your current problem.

Just tried it it worked fine for me. Though if it's the only way
for you to enter dates, we may be looking at different pages; on the
page I tested, you can also click on the little calendar icon to the
right of the date, and then click on a date in the pop-up calendar.
That also worked for me.
I'm using 10.4.3 with the latest Safari. So I don't think Safari is
the problem here (or at least the only problem). In fact, Safari
fails to work so rarely that I don't even remember the last time it
failed. Oh, except it and the Mozilla-based browsers all used to
give a java error when I tried to refill pr*scr*pt**ns at my
insurer's online ph**m*cy, but that's been fixed.
(In Safari I have the debug menu activated, and the user agent
automatically chosen; I may once or twice have changed it to IE for
a site.)

Re: further info re: password recognition on websites
Amber, I think they are two unrelated problems. The missing t scenario happened to me a couple of weeks ago with Live Help. The tech said to use all caps almost immediately, like he was used to this thing happening. I do not have the problem with Safari passwords that you describe. Concetta Hi Caleb, It's strange because all of this started happening about a week ago and has been getting progressively worse since. I have emptied the cache and reset Safari. I called my ISP and they told me that they felt it was a problem involving entering secure sites. I can't find any new Java updates. The other strange thing is that when I use eBay live help, I cannot type in lower case as the t key will not show up at all. I can only type in all caps to alleviate this problem. However, the eBay guy told me this is not uncommon with Mac users. Thanks for your suggestions ! Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Airport Card doesn't show up
Good Evening fellow listees; I have a small problem with my Airport set up on my Lombard. First of all any Airport compatible PCMCIA card I put in the PCMCIA slot doesn't show up in the network pane as an Airport card, in fact in the network pane under network status Airport doesn't show as an option at all and I know these cards are good because they work in my Powerbook 3400 to connect wirelessly to the internet using a Graphite Base station, as does my BW using a PCI Airport compatible card. Secondly I can't get the Airport SetUp assistant to recognize the cards. The one card I got to show up showed as an Ethernet Adapter Card en1 or something like that, so the slot seems to work to a degree. This is all on a Powerbook Lombard 128mb ram/OS 10.2.8/6gig harddrive a 400mhz processor.

Re: Macs and eBay
Amber, I don't recall seeing which PB or iBook you are using, but I have a Pismo 400 MHz that I picked up las June. You mention problems with the t not showing up - I have this problem with my Pismo - it is very hit or miss. Most of the time the t types, but not always. Perhaps your t key is flaking out too and you wouldn't see that on a password that doesn't echo back.

Sometimes I can't sign in at all even though just a couple hours earlier, I had used the same user name and password. It's very frustrating - especially when I have some auctions running and more to list and I can't access them without going through this ridiculous sign-in routine whereby I have to enter my user name and password over and over again until it catches. I assure you there is no typing error on my part either. I will be setting up an auction listing and hit continue and then it will take me back to the sign-in page !! I am indeed running 10.4.3 and just installed the most recent security update which is supposed to address Safari related problems amongst others. Apple Software update is not listing any others. Which ones were you referring to ? As I mentioned in my other note to the list, all of these problems just started occurring a week ago but I have not installed any new software at all.

Yes, some wireless cards, like Orinoco, that are Airport compatible under Classic are not Airport compatible under OSX. When a friend obtained an OSX 10.2 Wallstreet awhile ago, it would not use my Lucent Orinoco wifi card as an Airport card, like my 9.2 Wallstreet could. Also, some cards that are Airport'able under OSX are not under Classic (most recently I discovered that the Sony/Ericsson GPRS card is one of these). Any card with the Broadcom chipset (SOME of the cards/adapters by Belkin, Buffalo [what my friend now uses in his 10.2 WS], Linksys, Sonnet, among others) will be seen as an Airport card in OSX 10.2 and up. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Ivy F., AL Roll Tide!

I think Garagesale does this - I just learned about it from another member here when we were talking about this Mac/Safari problem. Take care, Amber Dear Amber, The last time I checked with eBay I was told their software which could provide the ability to store a seller's listings prepared all week long, to all go live on a designated day and time was a feature only available to those accessing with their site with Windows platform browsers/computers. I was further told that they were unaware of any software which could provide this enhancement for Macintosh users. Further, when I visited the Apple store in Emeryville, CA in October, for the express purpose of finding such a program, I consulted with the Mac Geniuses there, who suggested iSale and GarageSale. When I looked at the package of the one carried by the store (iSale, I believe) and also read reviews the Geniuses referred me to of both of these packages on-line while I was in the store, I ended up returning the iSale to the shelf, and not seeking to acquire GarageSale either, since neither seemed to be able to ably do what I'm describing- at least without dramatically limiting the content you could include in your postings. I believe the limitation which most discouraged me here was not being able to have more than perhaps three or four rather small photographs per posting, if my memory serves me correctly. Bottom line is that I went home and got myself a used PC (which I'm beginning to learn to use) just simply (but importantly) to acquire the ability to have my ads all begin and end at the one time each week which I feel is most advantageous to me. Again, I'm hoping the information I gathered then was wrong, or that this shortcoming to the Mac eBay applications I mentioned here have now been augmented to provide this feature.
