Not getting the whole picture with your Mac?

July 16th, 2010

We have had some clients tell us that they are unable to access parts of our website. Upon further investigation and we spoke with a representative at Apple, apparently their basic internet search engine (Safari) is not compatible with many websites. They recommended downloading Mozilla Firefox which is a superior search engine used all over the world. If you have noticed that you are receiving messages like “downloading” and nothing ever downloads then try using Firefox.
