Thanks God is not just me... it's freaking annoying!!!

But I got a work around for it... well, quite a workaround...

You most open Fire Fox and logon into the forum and leave it running while you do your stuff on Safari... so far this is the only way I have found to keep on using Safari cuz I don't like FF...

Weird thing is that this issue with white pages loading on the forum just started happening about 3 or 4 days ago... I also got a weird issue where I was writing a reply and when I submitted the post it appeared under my brother?s name.

Take a look at the post I?m talking about? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=367893

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which has a glossy menubar ;) But I'm a smartass.

Hey just a question while we're at it:

I have this really weird problem on my Mac running the latest Safari 2 version with the forum, when going to neowin.net it just randomly blanks out: Blank page nothing else. I have to refresh like 20 billion times before it reappears, I recently formatted and the problem remains.

Any thoughts? :unsure:

Apple is being a sneaky ******..

One thing they didn't mention in iTune 5 is that.. they included Bonjour as part of the installation. One more service that runs in your background and sucks away your system memory.

I actually tried Bonjour as a separate product before, and it did not do much for me as I never had the need for it. Worse, it actually messed up my networking properties, causing my network to go down.

I had to uninstall Bonjour to get my network up and running again. Very sucky.

see, its part of os x so i hardly notice. it is neat to share though.

/me grabs iTunes v5.0 and QuickTime v7.0.2 through Software Update

also, to anybody who doesnt know what Bonjour is, it's Apples ZeroConf networking technology, it allows programs to automatically find other programs running on other systems

iTunes shared library feature uses it.

same here and it only happens in Safari and it may be related to the update Safari got a few days ago just around the same time the problem with Neowin forums loading white pages started to occur... :blink: :huh: :wacko: :no:

No..that wasnt my question, sorry.

In 4.9 my settings were set to automatically update my iPod if I added anything to my library. After I installed 5, it started to put songs that were already on my iPod back (Athough they were never "deleted" in the first place). It just rewrote over something that it claimed was missing, when it never was. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them, and if they can explain this to me.

bonjour fails to start on my system, i get an error during installation and i have to cancel.?:angry::

at this point, from task manager, end all the installation service like msiexec service and some other itunes installer... worked for me.. It happens because Bonjour depends on some other crap service to run and many people have disabled and and thus bonjour fails..

There's always www in there, if there isn't it corrects it automatically. So that's not it...

From what I can see it's something Safari related, it started after installing the latest Safari update.

I run into this problem with a few websites when using Safari 1.3 (still on Panther), it is really annoying. Websites that I remember that go blank are imdb.com and dictionary.com, meaning I would have to either 'refresh like 20 billion times before it reappears' or go onto Firefox and then view it from there. It hasn't actually happened before or at the very least, rarely, but recently it frequently does it.

I don't like seeing my podcast when I select Library. Showing the searchbar CTRL-SHIFT-B let you select Music which hides them... but clicking away and back to library bring back the podcasts. Mixing it with music is a dumb ass idea! Fortunatly, we can create a smartplaylist that exclude podcasts and then showing the Browse CTRL-B...  But still I don't like that new "feature"

I thought maybe I was the only one who was experiencing this problem, the Podcasts even show up under 'Artists' on my iPod which is fairly annoying.

Nonetheless, I think the new iTunes is great.
