I have constant connectivity issues with Safari but not if I use Chrome.  Why is this?

My wifi is connected yet when I launch Safari, I constantly receive error messages about connectivity yet if I launch Chrome instead, I have no problems.  Do I just not use Safari or is there a way to fix this?  Thanks!

Go step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

  • Connection issues with Safari 3

    I'm having some connection issues with Safari 3.
    When I connect wirelessly, Safari won't load any web pages. I go and use Firefox and everything is just peachy.
    I've reset Safari, emptied the cache and whatnot. I went in and checked the permissions, everything checks out.
    When I connect with Ethernet, there's nothing wrong, which is my dilemma.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are a number of posts in the Leopard forum from people with direct experience with upgrading from Panther to Leopard. Here is a relevant thread from there that should reassure you.:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1418714
    Your system should be fine for Leopard, but you will probably need a current version of Photoshop if you don't already have it. See this download:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
    Also, Leopard doesn't run Classic (OS 9) apps.
    One caveat - first make a bootable backup "clone" of your present system onto an external firewire drive so you can recover if anything goes wrong. You can use the "Restore" tab of Disk Utility to make such a clone, and there are also Panther-compatible versions of Carbon Copy Cloner (v 2.3) and SuperDuper (v 2.1.4), both excellent for this.
    It's even possible to a create second Panther clone on a different external volume to create a "dual-boot" system, using that volume to continue to run old applications that you can't run with Leopard.

  • I get sound from Youtube with Safari but not with Firefox

    I get sound when using my MacPro with Safari but not with Firefox.

    Did you check the volume setting in the player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?

  • Slide show works with Safari but not Firefox!

    I'm baffled: I was swapping out some new .jpgs for my site's looping photo slide show on the top of every page, everything was working fine 2 days ago and then... nada. I didn't change anything to cause it AND it displays fine with Safari. I'm pretty sure I have all my plug-ins up to date etc., so WTF?!?!?! Thank you.

    Perhaps "slideshow" isn't the best description (I am NOT a programmer). There are six images inside the wood-looking frame on the top of EVERY page, which used to cycle through on a loop. I can still see them with Safari, but although I didn't change anything when swapping out the jpgs a couple of days ago (and they worked fine until yesterday)... they're no longer viewable on Firefox. Again... WTF?!?!?

  • Flash player work with Safari, but not with Internet Explorer

    My flash player had a problem so I uninstalled it.  I had a problem downloading the player with Internet Explorer, so I successfully download it with Safari.  The player works fine with Safari, but I cannot get it to work with Internet Explorer 8.
    I used to have the Flash Player 10 Active X (10.1.85.3), which I had uninstalled.
    I now have the Flash Player 10 Plugin (10.1.85/3)
    The problem I had downloading the player with IE was that the "allow Active X" information bar never appeared and I was unable to see any download at all.
    How do I get flash to work with my Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)?

    This adobe web site worked easily for me, when I needed to install adobe flash JUST for IE8.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    All you need to do is choose your OS in the top window, then in the bottom window choose "Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Internet Explorer", and voila, that is what adobe installs!! Give it a go. I had problems too, before I foud this. Diligent

  • Ftp access works with Safari but not with Netscape or Explorer

    The problem I am trying to solve is that my ftp service works correctly with Safari but gives an error message when the ftp service is access via Netscape or Explorer. Error message is "530 Guest login disabled". These two web browsers will not display a login screen for access by real users; Safari provides the login screen. The server is restricted to real users only

    Check the proxy settings of the programs that are not working.
    Check your firewall settings as well but I do not think that is it.

  • Why am I now having certificate issues with Firefox but not IE?

    I can no longer log into Gmail, Facebook, Amazon, etc... using Firefox. I get the following error "accounts.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)". It works with IE but not Firefox. This just started a few days ago - prior to that I was able to log into those https sites without issue.
    Any suggestions? Thank you.

    "browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert" was set on false so I set it to true and tried reloading.
    Got the page giving me the option to add exception and continue. Kept trying that and would not continue to the page even after accepting 10+ times.

  • Firefox has suddenly stopped connecting on one of three user accounts on the same computer. That account still connects with Safari - but not Firefox. A clean-install has not solved the problem. Help?

    Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
    Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
    Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
    Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
    Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
    Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • Bluetooth issue when working with Safari but not other applications

    I have tried two new bluetooth headsets (Motorola 9HD and Sony DR-BT100cx) that both can Pair with and work just fine with the local itunes application and any DVD I use. But these devices do not work with Safari. I tried going to Hulu, YouTube, etc and i can tell the bluetooth device is 'listening' because I can hear it click or wait for a signal. But I never hear anything. If i switch over to DVD or my Podcasts that are local, it works fine. If I go to bluetooth settings and select 'stop using headset' the MacBook speakers pick up right away.
    Note: I am a brand new Mac user, so please disregard my OS version I have selected. I have no idea how to find my OS version, nor do I know how to install Firefox to see if it is simply a browser issue.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    I have the same issue. I've tried 3 different btooth headsets, and they all react the same:
    - music: ok
    - skype: ok
    - webcasts / video (safari or firefox): no sound, and video stops
    HOWEVER: same system, same headset, using Internet Explorer in my windows xp VM: everything works.
    Anyone know how to contact Apple and log this issue?

  • Having a connectivity issue with bluetooth in car only when using siri

    Does anyone know of a fix for connectivity issues when using siri to dial a number when using bluetooth in a car? If the number is inputted manually then the call goes through. When asking siri to make the call, it starts to go through but then quickly disconnects. I noticed the problem soon after downloading IOS 8.

    Apple has no fix for this.  I have been in contact with Apple customer service, engineering, etc. for over 2 months now.  Very disappointing, as it worked fine prior to iOS 8.0.

  • Connection refused with java, but not javaw

    I have a ServerSocket based program...listening on a port. It is really a very simple program. And I can run it with javaw. Then I can use another problem, for example, telnet to connect to that port, just to prove I can connect to that port. Everything is fine.
    Now if I run the exactly the same ServerSocket program with java, then I got the connection refused error.
    It is weird.
    Do you know why? Do you know a good socket troubleshooting tool on Windows? I am afraid of the viruses, so I haven't downloaded any free tools yet.

    You're right.
    The Norton personal firewall does not handle localhost to localhost correctly. I do all the tests on the same machine. The netstat -an shows the port is listening in either case. But now I know the firewall blocks one of them silently. No rule prompt was triggered. Worse, no logging produced for that particular access.
    Thanks. You've been very helpful.

  • I have a serious issue with static (clicking sounds) when I use Netflix streaming along with any movies I rent via AppleTV, and yes I use a optical audio cord.  Any suggestions?

    Was is most interesting, is that if I watch other content like MLB TV using the sound bar and optical cable, I don't have this issue, it's all very strange.  Any suggestions?

    Perhaps it's obvious to you, but what would I adjust in the midi settings?  There's nothing obvious that speaks to this out of sync issue.
    FYI, I just plugged my JBL creatures into the audio out (same physical jack as the digital out, though of course they use different technologies) and there is no sync problem with the audio played through them.  Clearly it's an issue with the digital out, just wish I could figure out if it's my stereo or something in the computer.  I have no other devices that accept a digital input, so can't swap the stereo out for anything else.

  • How can I copy-paste text from Firefox to Apple Mail preserving all formatting? It works with Safari but not with Firefox, otherwise I'd pick Firefox

    I have a very big list of correspondents to whom I often send articles.
    I cannot copy them from Firefox and paste them onto Apple Mail because they look WEIRD and not at all like the original. Most formatting disappears.
    I do not encounter the same problem with Safari, and THAT is one of the two reasons I am forced to use it even if it gives me lots of problems.
    The other one is that Safari 5 has a built-in RSS reader, which is essential for my work.
    If you could manage to have those two things working, I'd pick Firefox in a second and advertise the fact to thousands who would do the same.

    Try one of these feed readers if the build-in Firefox reader doesn't suit you.

  • Safari download problem with Safari but not with Internet Explorer.

    When I drag photos from web-sites via Int.Explorer they end up on my desktop as little pictures. I can see what they are. When I do it with Safari they end up as pages with a turned corner & JPEG at the bottom. The only way to see what they are is to click them for Preview to open.
    Why does Safari not do as Int.Explorer & is there any way of making it do so?

    Found the answer in Mac OS Help, topic "Changing the way icons look on the desktop";
    Click the background, select View > Show View Options from the menu; check "Show icon preview" in the pop-up menu. Now try copying images from Safari to your desktop!
