I'm using macBook Pro: mac os 10.6.8
I have not been able to log into SL using the LL client for about 4 weeks.. This has been happening for about 4 weeks, maybe more. When the LL client began crashing upon logging in, I began using Firestorm until it starting crashing also, and upon logging in.
Both Linden's and Firestorm crashes when they get to "downloading clothing" then they say darn you've been logged out of SL.
Tonight for the first time in 4 weeks, after the 3rd try getting in with the LL client, it worked. However, my friend's list will NOT load, nor will my groups list load. I am not receiving IM"s from my groups. I cannot read parcel information either (information in land panels).
During these weeks of not being able to use LL's viewer or Firestorm, I found Snow Globe. It works ok, but has issues. Another viewer I have tried, Exodus, works ok, but also has its set of problems. When these problems first began, I filed a ticket with LL. Basically, they said to go take a flying leap. lol
I think Mac folks are simply out of luck when it comes to SL.
