Has anyone else here tried to watch Live Earth on a Mac, and is having problems?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

MSN has acted snarky on me, freezing my computer and the video via Quicktime was awful.

1. gee I thought macs were perfect, but they have 2.8% market share for a reason :-) nt

3. Nah, it's Microsoft being snarky, that's all.

:hi:

4. With a Feed Being Provided by Microsoft, Perhaps Macs are Getting the Short End

21. Ha Ha!!! I love it!!!

22. Yes, republican companies like Dell and HP have a much bigger market share.

I'm sure that makes you smile. BTW, Apple's US market share was up to 6.38% in February.

2. Just Got "Connecting..." or "Negotiating..." and No Video

5. no,

been watching all day with Safari .. had 6 windows open at different venues. If the feed starts to break up I just start it, happened once during John Mayer.

11. I tried Safari and it froze on me. I went back to try to using Firefox. Watching Melissa Etheridge

on Bravo now.

18. well, if it's any consolation

her performance is the BEST I've seen all day. Glad you're catching it on Bravo!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. Thanks! It was so great, I can't wait to see it again! I hope someone posts it on youtube.

6. have you tried using firefox - it works even though they say you have to have IE

safari may not work since it is netscape

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. I am using Firefox! Maybe my computer is just tired. :( Thanks for the reply!

7. Mac, with Firefox and Quicktime; came in fine for me.

A couple of hiccups from Brazil, otherwise not bad.

8. No problems here.

The site suggests IE, but I haven't had any problems at all with Safari.

9. I tried it last night, but was not satisfied

with the results. I had to set up a separate player from the one embedded in the web page where you can switch venues at will. The screen never fully d/l either, it was pixelated all the way through.

I gave up and started watching Bravo/Sundance.

10. I'm watching now on a MAC...

...a little jet lag loading via Quicktime; but once I was established it's been grand.

13. If you get tired of trying,

forget the commercial music and listen to the sounds comin' outta New Orleans.

And I dumped the Mac version of Internet Explorer months ago. Try Safari or Firefox if you have it. Or maybe you need Flip4Mac.
