I have a Macbook Pro. I am not sure if its because the intel Mac hardware and its problems with the interface with photobucket or if its Mac OSX the actual software, but www.photobucket.com RARELY works for me as an uploader for my images. When I go into boot camp and use Windows XP, it works flawlessly, which is what makes me assume its Mac OSX.

It's strange because sometimes photobucket will upload instantly (about 15% of the time) and the other 85% of the time, it will upload for HOURS and never go through.

Thanks guys for help, in advance.

I have no problems using it with the latest version of Camino.

Are you using WiFi or hard connections? What webbrowsers?

Well, considering I didn't know if it was a hardware (macbook) problem or a software problem, I wasn't exactly sure what forum to put it in.

But thanks for the criticism.

try FireFox on your mac, I've had randome problems with safari. Like on my Brother In Laws iMac I can never log into Gmail on safari, even though he does it like every day.

Safari isn't the best web browser. Its a division of Netscape based stuff, but FireFox is much more refined.

I think the chances of this being some incompatibility with the MacBook Pro hardware are somewhat... remote.

Safari is not Netscape based, it's based on the open-source KHTML engine.

Anyway, this is in no way a Pro Notebook-specific topic.
