They have me blocked at work now from Africam so I miss having the background sounds too. If it's any consolation DW, the sound has been terrible lately. There are several complaint posts on the Africam forum so you are not alone. The cam has been off and on with storms too. There is always Pete's Pond! :D (Sometimes TOO much noise on that one)

Strange, which OS do you have?

divewop Nov 4th, 2007 04:44 PM

Carla-
you know that old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"! They should have heeded that one.

Hills-
I've got an intel-based Mac, a year old with OS X tiger...haven't upgraded to leopard yet...not until I'm sure they have all the kinks out.

I've sat here for an hour now (again) downloading the latest flip4mac over and over and rebooting, like I did earlier today but to no avail, it's not working.

I get a blank white screen and that's it. It shows the time above the screen. I can also access the video highlights (like the eles today) but not the live cam. Totally weird!

Hey! Now I can't get in. Going over to PP to see MY ellies :))

divewop Nov 5th, 2007 05:05 AM

Well, per the folks at Africam, I just went back and installed a couple more items spending another entire hour trying to get it going, and it STILL isn't working.

I can't figure this out as I've never had problems running ANYTHING on my Mac since I got it and now all I'm having is one problem after another trying to view the cam.

So, unless anyone has any other suggestions, I'm officially signing off of Africam. It was fun while it lasted! Ciao...:(

Divewop,

Africam, after an absense of a few days, just came up on my MAC. I used the http://www.africam.com/wildlife/index.php link, since they don't go through wavelit anymore.

I've tried everything to get it running on both firefox and safari and nothing is working. I've downloaded different programs, unblocked the ad blockers and pop-ups, put africam on my safe lists, checked to make sure there were no firewalls blocking it, and still nothing.

I don't know why it isn't working for me anymore, but it just isn't.

The administrators at africam aren't any help at all. No one has any answers so I just have to put it to rest and learn to live without the noises (and sightings) of africam in the background.

Such is life...:(

I just used the http://www.africam.com/wildlife/index.php link (with Firefox 2.0.0.9) and it came up just fine.

Have you cleared your cache?

Elephants at PP.

gard-
that's one of the first things I did.

This just sucks....

Hey Sandi,

Here is one other suggestion that you might try as I haven't been able to get into Africam for about a week now. After you are on the website and watch the ad play, click on the right green box that say Nkhoro Pan, you have to watch another ad but then the cam comes up after. It worked for me this am so maybe it will work for you. Good luck.
