Safari and Chrome

I have the retina iMac 5K, 27 inches, end of 2015.  I have run all the updates of El Capitan and am always current.  I was using Safari years without major problems or concerns.  Recently, I had a "glitch" with two experience various websites who advised me that if I would use a Chrome browser, the problems would be clear.  One of these sites is important to me and I use it every day.  The problem I have is annoying but not a deal breaker.  The other site is insignificant, but when I came across this question, it motivated me to post these questions that have been simmering for some time.

I have two questions.  First of all, can I install Chrome and then open and use Safari and Chrome without the risk of conflict or other technical problems?  (I am NOT a knowledgeable technician).

Second, there are significant benefits to Chrome on Safari? I use Google as my search engine.  I heard from several people that once they switched to Chrome, they stopped using Safari.

Hello

Yes, you can use Chrome and Safari at the same time without any problems or risks. Be aware that you can choose a browser by default at the same time, but you can always change

I use Chrome for several years and there are no significant benefits. I think it's just a matter of taste.

Greetings!

    Hi there tungfromdenver!

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!  Thank you for bringing your question about location Services no longer works after having recently upgraded to iOS 10.  I rely on location Services in this many apps, so I know how important it is to work properly for Safari.  It's my pleasure to help you today.

    I will first go through this article to make sure that the location Services settings are correct:

    In particular, I want you to check that location Services are turned on for Safari and Chrome.

  • I try to send a PDF for visitors to download contrary to Safari and Chrome, FireFox displays the letter numbered and bulleted lists show no inFF

    It is a question of company about my client being read properly by our customers. The pdf file, we created (secure) or unsafe, can be played in the Player browser by default, but lists in the document (numbers, letters and bullets) don't appear - just indented paragraphs. I tried describing the text, etc. - nothing works. The same files are well in Safari and Chrome.

    I could attach screenshots

    Maybe that's a problem with the font used for the numbering? When I create a PDF from MS Word that uses automatic numbering or hierarchical numbering in the same font as the text, Viewer PDF in Firefox it displays normally.

  • display MacBook pro on safari and chrome problem

    Hi all

    I have a MBP end 2011 that took her mother changed twice. First of all, it wouldn't start when I installed an additional RAM module (I 2x8Go) and then it starts crashing while working last summer.

    Now, this is something similar: screen (no ice optional screen hi-def) becomes crazy (black screen and then blur and not centered) then the MBP freezes and restarts. I noticed that it always happens while on chrome or safari and if I stop immediately after it starts, the display will return to normal and I can reopen the browser for a few minutes until what it happening again.

    The time it takes to do is incompatible.

    I got an error code of Apple Hardware Test (but only on an extended Test): 4MEM/62/40000000: 0 x 84339018

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.5 without problems so far. Chrome takes up a lot of memory, but I think it's OK but navigation now seems much more slow processing of even very frequent beach ball time when nothing else is running and the memory and the CPU usage is well within available resources.

    Have not yet done this new info from Apple but I have appointment Thursday based on the problem of the screen and crashes. If there was a MB issue they will replace for free but 1 / I need my computer operation Monday (starts a web programming crash course 2 months!) and the repair could take more time than that and 2 / even if repaired once means that I'm working on a bomb ticking.

    I intend to have a small external hard drive with time machine for the entire cycle (I on my NAS when at the office) - how convenient - but I'm always SOL if it happens during the course. I'm not a programmer at all, so it's a challenge already to deal with a failure of the computer at the same time!

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    The error code you posted shows a RAM problem.  I might try the original RAM and see if it makes a difference.

    The specifications for the new RAM modules: DDR3 SO-DIMM of 204 pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz)?  Macs are very selective with RAM.  Some brands do not work well in Macs.  OWC and Crucial are the best sources for RAM Mac compatible.

    You can also try the following:

    Remove the RAM and clean the contacts.

    Take one module, insert it into a slot and start the MBP.  Place it in another location, and then start the MBP.

    Repeat with the other module of RAM.

    Essentially, you test if a RAM module is defective or if a slot is defective.

    Ciao.

  • Firefox 5 on a Mac X10.6 capatcha any work, this isn't a local issue because everything works in Safari and Chrome

    Since I use Firefox 5 whenever I finish a page captcha on any type of form, it does not work. Once the code is entered and submitted the can just erase and a new captcha element is delivered and this continues, the only way out is to quit firefox and go on Safari or Chrome to complete and submit the form.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • The colors for my Google calendar disappeared. I can see with Safari and Chrome, but not with Firefox.

    I use Windows 7. I tried to delete the cookies and cache. Nothing has changed. There is no similar problem with all other browsers: Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer. I restarted my computer. I had to send this chrome because Firefox does not load correctly your site after many attempts. The colors seem to be rinsed at each site. Is there an easy way to restore the colors?

    Thank you.

    Firefox fits pretty well most of the themes of Windows 7, but in some cases, there may be glitches, particularly with the themes "high contrast".

    You are allowing Web sites to specify their colors or their substitution? This is a setting that you can change in the Options.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > content

    Click on the 'Colors' button and make sure that the box is checked for "allow pages to choose their own colors".

  • great mystery - simple animation now does not have safari and chrome

    An animation simple edge - basically a slideshow with a button / stop - which has certainly worked with Chrome a few weeks ago now does not work - neither with Safari.

    http://peachesincrime.com/SWF/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012.html

    First thought is that both of these browsers have changed their behavior script and "users of edge so sorry."

    But having found that there is no fundamental difference between it and all other animations on http://peachesincrime.com/underthehood.html I reduced the size of the stage of 1388 x 933 to 800 x 600 and it now seems to work. I have not yet seen what the upper limit is

    Customer wishes to maintain the resolution or even increase in the future to display pictures in all their glory on the retina screen resolutions.

    Is this a problem with the edge and is there a way around this?

    Thank you

    I have updated the animation with pictures that match the size of the scene with precision. An initial test suggests that it works now with chrome, but so far on a single machine under test, safari seems to run the animation but to 1/20 the speed of the other browsers.

    for anyone interested in trying to figure out what is causing this, I moved the defective original mentioned above in another folder http://peachesincrime.com/swf/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012-2/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012.ht ml files

  • Problem of fluid webpage in Safari and Chrome

    Hi all

    So, I am faced with a rather unpleasant problem. I'm creating a two-column Web page centered on a background. I have a really nice background image, and I want to show him one side or the other of my two columns:

    So, right now, I have the whole part of wrapper set at 80% width. In which and under the image of the banner, I have two columns, the left set at 25% and the right set at 75%.  Everything works fine under Firefox and explore, I can resize the width smoothly, but in Chrome and Safari at some window widths, I get this really annoying a wide band of pixel in the background between the two columns. For now, only one column is floated left and one right, might be why?

    Also, when I tried to put a border of 2% to the left and to the right, even after subtracting 4% between the columns, the columns do not look good at all. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid because I am new to html and dreamweaver or make any bad feeling. I can give the url of the Web site, if this description was too complicated.

    Thank you very much!

    I think you nailed: If you're floating two divs in the same way, they should contact them and let the extra pixel on the side. There is no such thing as a percentage of a pixel, so if your width was not be divisible, you get leftovers.

    Your percentage of borders are more removed from the columns under percentages of column widths, not as a percentage of the width of the container for the columns. In other words, you get 2% 25% and 2% of 75%, not 2% 100%, if that makes sense. If you want to set the border sizes, use pixels to the edges, what you can control.

    Regarding giving a URL, it is a good idea just in front. We can look in your code and help you much more easily, because the answer is always in the code. To check if your methods are "the right way" is to send the url of your page through the w3c validator: http://validator.w3.org/ you will give a list of maybe intimidating ways but precise which differs from your site/page markup standards. I say "perhaps intimidating" because a minor error often creates a cascade of errors that all disappear when that first one is fixed. In order to validate your page, correct a few mistakes, he exposes and then validate again.

    Never worry about silly questions. The questions are never stupid unless asked again and again by the same person (with the answers did not!). We have all learned a while and most of us, even those of us who have been around for awhile... learn something new every day.

  • From 04/01/14, Instagram videos no longer play in my Firefox. They work fine in Safari and Chrome, but not ff.

    I have problems playing videos Instagram in Firefox before 04/01/14. I've updated all my plug ins, turned off AdBlock, but nothing does.

    Firefox does not make to forget this process of Site, and I had to force quit. I tried 3 times, and then I went in the cookies and remove all the cookies just instagram. Once I did, I could see the videos again in Firefox. I never really thought that something as simple as this clear up the question.
