I know there is a joint Computer solving thread but the few Apple questions on there do sometimes get missed, so thought that I would set up a dedicated one for the Mac.

...Bye the way I am quite Computer illiterate apart from what I have picked up...so no point In asking me much -):

Ian,

I wonder If you could make this thread available on the Investors side as well please?

Stan - I'm not sure I've ever dealt with them but Scan and More Computers are supposed to have reasonable reputations. I don't think I've heard of any of the rest in the search results. In the Google Ads on the right, I don't know if any of the WD HD's at Amazon are the exact model you're looking for, but I have dealt with Dabs and Microdirect and they have been OK.

Thanks K, will have a look after lunch.

Stan, if you manage to find a good supplier do let us know how the drive is, I may be in the market for one myself soon.

regards

Neil

OK will do, just wasted 15 minutes having a useless few words with someone online at Dabs. I will continue to look.

anyone having problems with moneyam site since installing Leopard, I have 2 macs and they both are now unable to view pages from the monitor links, i.e. graphs, trades, etc. emailed support whom say they are yet to test the leopard OS with the site !!

barretec,

I use Leopard with the site and everything's working for me (streaming, bb etc)

What are you seeing when you access those pages? What browser are you using etc?

J.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for you reply, When I click on the Graph, Trade, news or evn the company ticker I get this.

Safari cant open the page http://www.moneyam.com/stockwatch//action/nav/trades?epic=APG because it cant find the server www.moneyam.com

I am running Safari

barretec,

all the things which you are having trouble opening work as a pop up - I am wondering whether a pop up blocker on your system is causing this problem. You may want to make sure pop up blockers are turned off and try again to see if that helps,

Ian

barretec,

I get exactly the same problem with Safari.

I'll investigate and see what I can find.

J.

barretec,

I've found the cause of this problem and am writing an error report for MoneyAM so they can reproduce and then fix it.

J.

Hey Jonathan, now that's impressive, it would be great to get this resolved as it's a bit of a ball ache at the moment

barretec,

It's in MoneyAM's court now, I've passed on what's happening, why I think it's happening, and what I think can be done to stop it happening. I'm sure they'll have something working soon!

Jonathan.

Lets be on our guard: http://www.ft.com/cms/s0/c79b814e-a364-11dc-b229-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1

imho

I would think intel-mac will be more at risk then the former G4 and G5 macs. You can see from the number of people wanting to hack intel-mac tiger installers for installation for windows computers.

well, it's been 10 days since Jonathan identified the problem that mac users are experiencing while loading links from their stockwatch. MoneyAM, could you please put this on your todo list and resolve this issue. thanks

barretec,

We have the mail Jonathan sent us and it is being looked into - as soon as it is resolved you will be the first to know,

Ian

Hi Ian

I understand that in the big scheme of things this will be low priority and like most companies now days you'll be under resourced, but many thanks for your reply.

Hi Ian

Any joy re this Mac problem

Rgds

barratec,

apologies for delay in getting back to you - it is on the list of enhancements, and as soon as I can give you an eta I will,

The underlying CPU architecture (Intel vs. PowerPC) isn't likely to make any significant difference to the vulnerability of the Mac -- viruses and so on are purely software problems.
