My mobile internet dongle...

It works dont get me wrong, and fast too - but it doesnt show all the pictures...

To show all pictures, I have to do a force refresh and it works. Why is this??

Such a ball ache and is mega annoying - does anyone know a fix?

Its a t-mobile dongle btw, and for your infomation, ive tried it on windows 7 and it works fine, so definitly not the dongle or the service provider.

If you know a fix that works - I will give you man hugs

Try a different browser?

Were you using Safari?

It's probably because safari issues more concurrent HTTP gets for pictures etc hence the dongle service probably fails or the browser image loading timer expires.

That's a software issue rather than a hardware one so there is no point in blaming the MacBook. Try FireFox instead of Safari.

Then it'll be your dongle not compatible then.

I should imagine, the networks right rubbish software in general but particularly rubbish for osx unfortunately...

I agree, my Three & O2 dongles were pants on OSX but the new Vodafone PAYG one works great with the latest software update - speeds are not half bad if you force 3G only as it likes to seek between 2G and 3G a lot.
