    Hi,

    I have been busy busy, transferring files from my old Dell to the new MBPro and trying to convert various files, music, photo, document, links, etc. Yesterday I noticed a new icon popped up in the Dock.
    The icon reads 'Warning AY736' Like a road sign? when you click on it you get a window that is titled 'Console Messages'.

    There are tons of messages just from the last two days...I can't read it easily.
    Some of the messages start out with 'Unsafe Java script attempt to access frame. ...somewhere in the message, it seems to indicate the website 'MotherEarth News...which I did visit when setting up my links, but not sure what could have been wrong with that? There are also attempts being made today, despite the fact I never opened any of those links today.

    Is there a problem on my machine? There are plenty of other messages that are not motherearthnews related too. Another one with the Unsafe Java script seems to be related to a 'radio' widget I downloaded from the Apple site.

    Can someone direct me to where I could read about understanding the console messages..? Or is this something I should contact Apple about tomorrow?

    Thanks...adam

    Probably just script errors/warnings from websites with poorly written objects. If you want to understand what exactly those errors mean, you will have to learn the respective language. Of course, with the vague information you have given, I cannot assure you that it is just some script errors/warning from websites. You will have to post the actual errors, and perhaps take a screenshot of the road sign icon.
