Comment on Safari 6 – Lost functionality; Again! (and fixes) by jordan

#4 oh my gosh!!!! IT IS PISSING ME OFF!!!!!!!!!! It’s not just abnormal for Safari, it’s abnormal behavior for OS X! WTH is going on at Apple? The tabs stretching are so lame and it’s not just an aesthetics thing either, you can’t easily close the tabs by clicking anymore because the ‘x’ will always be in a different location on the screen. ALSO, unified address bar is trash! Blue progress bar is the gayest thing I’ve ever seen in a UI! Seriously? ugly flat blueish rocketship takeoff style indicator. It is disgusting to watch! The suggestions are also freaking irritating because it’s just a heaping pile crap that you have to sort through to find what should be a convenient shortcut. MY GOSH unified address bar suggestions are the most unusable thing to ever come out of Micros—I mean Apple – it’s getting harder to tell them apart…

Comment on Purolator Package tracking is useless! by iUbookz

When I found out that purolator is owned by Canada Post, I totally get the picture; both have useless tracking, all you can do is be patient and wait. Last time Canada post posted “attempted delivery” on their site which was an outright lie by someone, I was home that whole day. So I commiserate and understand. This is about the ground delivery vs air which was good with purolator

How about getting rid of in-browser RSS reader, or a working WebKit web inspector (now they seem to have included a new, PITA safari-only inspector), or the ability to change the default fonts? I really think Apple is starting to drop the ball, big time…

I also had a very bad experience with purolator, my package left Calgary – Canada on the 23-07-12, 1lb, but till date it shows on 27-07-12 – new delhi, nothing after that, when you call from India or from Canada, the same foolish excuses, its will be delivered tomorrow betweenm 9am to 5pm, till date no news about it – i really do not understand how all this happens in Canada, also Canada post is also a disaster, one pack got lost so i had to order for another but purolator is the worst courier as well, i wish i had asked them to use DHL – please someone teach them how to stay on their words as it alwayz mentions 4 days delivery but today is the 7th day

What if your setup doesn’t include a track pad or mighty mouse? I have multiple monitors and I Need a track ball.

I understand adding features and enhancing things, but what does taking away this shortcut enhances?

I hear ya Lazeez! The backspace function missing was the first thing I noticed right away. I just learned about the activity window function leaving and boy am I pissed. Although I have noticed some slight speed improvements, like you said, I’m going to have to revert to cmd-shift-arrow key, (or cmd-[ and cmd-]) but that pisses my off!
Another thing about Safari 6 that I hate: the new tabbed browsing on the top goes back to an older version of safari where the tabs resize to fill the width of the screen. Just an aesthetic thing, but I thought I’d add it anyway…

I’m going to look into a work around for the backspace thing…. keep me posted if you find something.

To many people backspace may be harmful. If the textbox I’m typing in right now looses focus the backspace completely changes behavior from editing text to loosing all the text you’ve written.

An easy fix currently for content-security-policy can be to add this line
to config.inc.php
$cfg['AllowThirdPartyFraming'] = true;

I recently installed “Safari 5.1″ on my computer, But there is no option to delete all the cookies where as option is delete all the cookies and website data. If I want to delete only cookies than what can I do? Because I work on one website project and sometimes its login fails if I delete all the cookies than login successfully. Please send me a answer as soon as possible.

I just installed Safari 5.1. VERY FRUSTRATED!!! My previous version allowed me to block all cookies and the web page would still load for most sites. This no longer works. If I decline the first cookie the site will not load.

My old version also showed a list of the cookies on my mac. This feature seems to be gone.

Apple, please pay attention. Some of us are very concerned about our web privacy and we want features that REALLY BLOCK COOKIES and insure private browsing.

Comment on iPod Touch fails to connect to Airport Extreme 802.11n by Mark

Mark — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:35:21 +0000

I had this problem with my iPod Touch (3rd generation) which started for me last week. Did not appear to start after I had re-confirgured the Airport base station or anything. Just seemed to have the problem out of nowhere (maybe an iPod software update?). I tired multiple things to try and get the iPod Touch to reconnect to the network – such as changing the password on my airport network (and restarting the network), rebooting the iPod Touch, putting no password on my airport network, etc. Nothing worked (but it would connect to other wireless networks: those with passwords and those without). I finally found this posting, and decided to try the suggestion of turning of the airport for 15 minutes; and then plugging it back in. This worked, and now I am able to connect from the iPod Touch to the Apple Airport network again.

Comment on Purolator Package tracking is useless! by Dorothy

Dorothy — Mon, 30 May 2011 22:17:40 +0000

I totally agree. I called Purolator today to see if my package was coming today because the website said left Toronto and it had been saying that for 3 days. The customer service rep said no, it would be comiing tomorrow. I went out for a bit and came back to a notice on my door saying they attempted delivery and I would have to pick it up at their depot tomorrow. The box is very large and probably won’t fit in my car. I’m so angry!

I set my airport extreme to be b/g compatible too (actually it was always set to “Automatic”) and that didn’t fix the problem. I tried setting my 2.4 GHz channel to channel 9, as suggested above and that did the trick.
