I thought I would let you know how this got resolved, which it did. I replaced my router (Buffalo) with a new Cisco router and that solved the problem. There was some incompatibility between the Buffalo router and the BBO. I had previously had trouble getting a Barnes and Noble Nook to connect with that same router. Took about an hour with tech support at Buffalo to fix the problem. This time, I decided to just get a new router. So everything is now working fine. Thanks again for your interest.

I did that already (Chrome) and it made no difference. I did, however, ask a friend who also has a MacBook to try to use BBO. She had no problem using both Safari and Firefox. So next I plan to take my computer to the Apple store and get some help. At least we can confirm that BBO works on MACS (except for me). Thanks for your continued interest.

What I use on my PC is the new version. Any ideas about the Mac problem?

Well, maybe I can add some additional comments. I am new to BBO and also new to the Apple community, having just bought a MacBook Air, as a second computer (always been a PC person). Started using it less than one week ago. As for old and new versions of BBO, whatever comes up when I hit the shortcut is what I'm using. Assume it is the "new". I am having the exact same problem with freezing. Interestingly, when I log out and then log in with my PC, NO PROBLEM. I have left my partner waiting for my response many times while I sit and wait for something to happen with a robot. Sometimes is unfreezes but it is basically non-functional. Once I got a string of error messages saying it couldn't execute the commands. So it seems to be something unique to the Apple. I have cleared the cashe and have the newest version of Flash Player installed. Any thoughts?
