Our old windows laptop recently bit the dust and we went over to a MacBook.

Now we find that most of the websites our daughter needs to do her homework don't seem to work on the new laptop.

Can anyone offer any advice on why this might be and any possible solutions?

Thanks,

W.A.I.

Which websites? Do they require Flash or Silverlight?

Which websites? I've had my Macbook when I was in Secondary, (granted, last year) but websites seem to work fine for me? Have you tried changing the browser to chrome?

It won't be because she's on a mac. It'll be because she's on a new web browser. Download Chrome and try again.

www.mymaths.co.uk doesn't work - I don't know what happens. It just says 'this plug in is not supported'.

Without navigating too far it seems to work fine on this Mac/Safari.

Always worked for me, probably missing flash or something.

Ah! Thanks peeps! I hadn't realised that a MacBook would allow Flash to download. I doesn't on the iPad but it has now on the MacBook and all is well.

Cheers!
