 The big problem now is that so many add-ons for Safari need updating.

There should be a facility in Software Update (for Safari) that allows
you to tick boxes for all the popular plugin updates that Apple would
probably know need updating. You get the lot at one time then.

I would not want to see this feature.  My reasons:  Right now, Flash 
(to give one example) is distributed by Apple.  The vers they 
distribute is OLD and very buggy.  This shows that Apple has little 
to no commitment to keeping us up to date.  Heck, they couldn't even 
be bothered to include an up to date version of WebKit with Safari!

There are some fine pre-packaged auto-update mechanisms available 
currently.  Sparkle, used by many apps, plug-ins, etc, is one such 
free one.  We don't need Apple interfering in what already works. 
Apple should be FIXING what they currently have, not crushing other 
developers.

The other issue here is that the 3rd party add-ons are simply not 
ready for this Safari update.  So even if Apple gave you 200+ 
tick-boxes for those items... it would do no good.

...I read an article the other day berating Apple for releasing 
Safari 3.2.1, because it was unscheduled.  Geeze.  If you don't 
release fixes in a timely fashion, the press rakes you over the 
coals.  And if you do release them as soon as you have 'em, they rake 
you over the coals anyway!  LOL

I've had pretty good luck with Adobe Reader 7, which runs on OS X. (I
think you need version 5 for OS 9.) Versions 6, 8, and 9 all seem
bloated.

I just upgraded to Safari 3.2.1 and my OS X is 10.5.5 and I'm see a

problems?

Do you have any plug-ins or inputmanagers installed, beyond the 
normal Flash, Flip4Mac, and QuickTime?  Many ad blockers and other 
add-ons are incompatible with Safari 3.2.x.

I.  I'm unable to see ink supply levels on my Cannon i560

Have you cleared your browser cache etc?

This worked with Safari 3.1.x?  Safari 3.2?  Firefox?   IOW, exactly 
when / where did it break?

Does it work in the current WebKit Nightly?

2.  I can not save PDF directly... I get a OS 61 error... what ever that is?

I had that problem also - had to reset the pdf handling with OnyX/Deeper.

Another possibility is Adobe Reader's plug-in actiing badly, if you 
have it installed.  Might help to rip it out.

3. I can not take a image attachment, i.e. photo or anything for 
that and drag it to my external hard drive... a WD 160 GB USB and it 
only 40% full

What about dragging to your desktop?

When you grab the image, does it highlight / reduce to a large 
thumbnail that then drags?

Does Save Image to Desktop from the contextual menu work?

All regain after I upgraded Safari 3.2.1, as well as 
the other recent upgrades from Apple

Not sure exactly what means All regain after.

What other updates did you install?  Have you repaired permissions?

I moved to Opera; it's noticeably faster than Safari.

 Here's a follow up to my question...

 I Pulled out my IceClean program and put it to good use and now  
 everything is working correctly...

 But thanks for the input, I'll check out the few plug-in that I have.

 Thanks and have a safe and fun filled holiday!
