I did a lot of upgrading. Have wanted to share a photo a couple of times and no way to do it. I think I can get my flickr account working again. At least I can get in there and edit, arrange and delete my photos (after being locked out because it wanted to force me to upgrade my browser which I could not do until I upgraded my OS X). We will now see if their embed code works again.
I didn't want to open any more accounts like Instagram.
Woo hoo. Cross that one off my list.
I have been working for over 3 days with this massive upgrade, fixing glitches. I did install Firefox so I have another browser. It will access a website that had me blocked with Safari, haven't found a fix for that yet.
After all my updates were done and installed successfully, suddenly my youtube videos would no longer play as they did just last night with an older version of Safari. That was a lot of work getting those to play again in Safari. They played in Firefox.
Now Firefox is opening correctly from my dock (imac machine).
The only known issue left with Safari and the whole reason I started the massive upgrades was because last Monday I could shop at aisles online to get groceries delivered to my home. By Tuesday I started getting an error Safari cannot establish a secure connection.
It will open fine in Firefox so I can edit my cart and check out but I want to get Safari working too if I can.
I also borrowed a Macbook laptop from my daughter. I connect it to the internet using my wired router. She had both Firefox and Safari. Firefox would open aisles online ok and so would her new iphone with google and works off a cell phone tower as she was standing outside my window the other night.
But Safari will not work on either her Macbook or my imac to open the whole website of the store, have called my isp, they said they could establish a connection and gave up on it. Apple is still working with me but too busy tonight. They were going to help me with Time Machine (I did get one backup done on my MyBook before I started all the upgrades/updates). But I need a second backup for extra safety and too much data for dvd's.
I am writing all this out at your forebearance and in the event that in desperation I start a vanity thread and get some help from "the guys" who many moons back wanted to help me check my system resources but I don't think I can get that thread back.
I will ping Swordmaker just an FYI for now and I can't push myself if I get too tired or nervous no matter how nice people are about trying to help. Sometimes I have to let go of it for a few days.
Am too burned out to go any further, but it has certainly been worth all the work compared to the limitations I had been dealing with. Eventually I will have to buy something new because what I have will no longer be supported or my browsers accepted again.
