nothing of significant interest except os x update 700mb , java update.

installation "successful".

however, after this, whenever attempt log university's "web ct" safari crashes. i've tried search mroogle no avail.
downloaded firefox suspecting problem reserved safari. plight, t'was not so. crash not discriminate these 2 browsers.

suspect wrong java.

whenever want log university's system, grab laptop , log boot camp windows xp. site loads fine.

advice? thank you.
 

i having same problem on new macbook pro 13" got few days ago.

when log onto webct on safari gets can select subject freezes whole browser, if wait while unfreeze , show page (it takes 5min load).

firefox same freezes try log in, load if wait.

tried google chrome , seems working fine.
give try, i'm going talk people @ uni when chance , see if have ideas.

suggest using different browser anyway because webct buggy safari @ best of times.
