Inactive plug-in in all browsers with Snow leopard

I am trying run a java applet(?) with a site.  I cannot get the java plug ins to work on any of the browsers(3).  I keep getting inactive plug-in.  I have the latest java update for Snow Leopard loaded for the Safari.  When I click on "inactive plug-in" as all the reading I have found, I am always taken to software update.  No software to update.  So,  how can I get the plug in

Thanks for disabling my chat room, Apple.
You obviously mean 'thanks Apple for keeping me safe'
Apple has barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
This is the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple has apparently decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.

  • QuicktimeMPEG2 plug-in no longer working with Snow Leopard

    I have been using the QuicktimeMPEG2 plug-in for many years. However upon my finally upgrading to Snow Leopard earlier this year I've lost that functionality. The Quicktime Player no longer recognises the plug-in although I dutifully kept a copy of the QuicktimeMPEG2.component file from the Leopard installation, and reinstalled this into the 'system/library/Quicktime' folder.
    I've also tried re-installing it from the original purchased DMG container but the installer produces an error indicating "A newer version of this software already exists on this disk.". This latter exercise undertaken after I had removed the manually installed QuicktimeMPEG2.component file.
    The version title of the plug-in file I have is:
    "QuickTimeMPEG2.qtx 6.4 Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 1989-2003"
    Though I note the file 'kind' is titled "Component (PowerPC)".
    Can anyone advise what might the cause of my problem?

    Seems to me that there was an issue like this when Apple came out with the new QuickTime Player v10 which is in your Applications folder and the default quicktime player program on your system.
    There might be another version - Quicktime Player 7 in your Applications/Utilities folder for compatibility with older plugins, etc. You could try launching it and see if your plugin works in that version.

  • Canon ip4000r won't install on MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with Snow Leopard

    Our MBA, MBP, iMac and Mini all worked flawlessly with my Canon ip4000r while running Leopard. However, the ip4000r disappeared from all 4 with Snow Leopard. I have since downloaded and installed the updated drivers on all four machines, but only the iMac and Mini have detected and installed the ip4000r. The MBP and MBA both refuse to install the ip4000r.
    The printer is detected by (and manageable/configurable by) the Canon IJ Printer Utility and Canon IJ Network Tool apps on both machines; however, whenever I attempt to add the printer, it is not detected by the Add Printer utility. I have downloaded and tried drivers directly from Canon (ip4000rosxcp102600ea8-2.dmg) and from the Apple support site (the 2.1 update) -- neither of which has worked. I have spent over a week on this and am at a loss as to why the printer installs on the desktop machines (iMac and the Mini), but not on the portables (MBP and MBA). Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The 10.26 driver includes a network protocol, canonijnetwork, that is used to advertise the printer on your wireless network. To add the network printer using this driver, you use the Default browser view. The previous method of More Printers > Canon IJ Network is not used anymore.
    Note that if Canon IJ Network is still available on your Mac then it is a leftover from upgrading from Leopard. A clean install of 10.6 and v2.70 of the Canon IJ Network Tool will not add this view.
    So with the 10.26 driver installed, select to Add and then the Default browser view. The printer can take as long as 20 seconds to appear. When it does appear, it will show its name with its MAC address in brackets, such as (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx). Also, in the Kind column, canonijnetwork will be shown. Select this entry and the Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon iP4000R.
    If the printer does not show after 30 seconds then something could be blocking this. The built-in firewall, located in System Preferences > Security > Firewall, can stop the network printer being displayed. Also, the Parallels application, that lets you run Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac, is also known to stop the printer from being seen. If you do have Parallels, then you will need to disable the virtual network ports. Not quite sure how this is done but if you check this forum or the Parallels web site, you should be able to find the workaround.

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

    [Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]
    I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.
    FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.
    But '''everything''' after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.
    Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.
    And NO different language websites even open.
    I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.

    Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect.
    No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now Kreonika is not happy. Not happy at all!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

  • All apps in Office 2008 Crash with Snow Leopard.

    All apps in Office 2008 Crash with Snow Leopard. This is the only problem I am having since the upgrade. How can this be fixed?

    Hello,
    you don't write what kind of crash you are facing. The one I met was that after launching any of office programs it hanged on splash window, telling "Optimizing menu font performace".
    I found a problem in FontBook - a lot of fonts had a yellow warning triangle there. When I clicked "Resolve duplicates", almost all my fonts were moved to trash (and Office started OK). I believe the updates I made from Tiger, to Leopard to Snow Leopard, mixed with installation of MS Office fonts made this mess.
    I took the whole /Library/Fonts folder from another computer and replaced my broken Fonts folder on this computer. Reboot and all works fine.

    Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
    Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

  • So, the least problematic all-in-one with Snow Leopard is....?

    Like many of you, I've had nothing but trouble with printing/scanning since installing Snow Leopard, and Lexmark has been no help at all with updating drivers. I've reinstalled their supposedly updated-for-S-L driver at least 10 times now, and I'm sick of it.
    What's the consensus as to the least problematic printer/scanner to use with Snow Leopard?

    I have a Canon at home and an Epson Artisan 800 at work. No problems at all with either of them with printing or scanning.
    The Epson was a recent purchase so it's only run on Snow Leopard, but the Canon is over a year old and never had a problem after installing SL.

  • Logic 8.0 with Snow Leopard - Addictive Drums plug-in causes Logic to crash

    I just bought a new iMAC with Snow Leopard and installed Logic 8.0.
    It seems to run OK but one particular plug-in causes Logic to crash.
    It's Addictive Drums by XLN Audio.
    It runs OK in Logic and ProTools LE8 on my MacBookPro which has Leopard.
    XLN Audio are so far mystified.
    Another drum plug-in, Superior Drums 2.0 and Altiverb both work fine.
    I'm upgrading to Logic 9 this weekend hoping that this will sort it.
    It seems that AD has a problem with Snow Leopard.
    Anyone else encountered this problem?

    Yes...version shows as 8.0.2 (1502.22)
    Reading some the negative comments on the forum re.Logic 9 I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth upgrading from 8. It doesn't seem likely to be the solution and may cause more problems.
    I've heard the new guitar amp features are excellent though which interests me.

    What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
    The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
    An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded  to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.
    Cheers

  • Tons of problems with Snow Leopard

    Made this post over at my blog but I figure this would be a better forum for it in hopes we can get some of these issues resolved... it seems like Apple has pulled a Microsoft and released what appears to be a beta version of Snow Leopard! Inexcusable bugs are appearing left and right, and the supposed "improvements" have actually hindered my computer performance and productivity...
    This really surprised me. After years of releasing amazing OS upgrades that seemed to make the best OS even better, it seems like Apple has taken 2 steps back with Snow Leopard. I can't tell you how upset I was to realize I was experiencing many problems that I previously only saw on PCs.
    After one of the many bugs popped up again on my computer, I got frustrated and started combing the internets for a list of known bugs in the OS and the inevitable slew of Apple users registering their disgust. Unfortunately, my search didn't turn up anything but positive reviews of the OS and very limited complaints on a few message boards. To this end, I'm posting this entry to try and help other users who are experiencing similar issues and hopefully get Apple to clean up this mess of an OS.
    Below I've created (and will be adding to) a list of problems I've experienced in OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. I encourage everyone to list your Snow Leopard issues in the comments as well, in hopes we can create a master list of problems.
    I am using a 2 GHz Black MacBook (Core 2 Duo) with 2GB of RAM. Keep in mind Leopard (OS 10.5) was running flawlessly on this more than capable machine. I am currently running the latest Snow Leopard build, 10.6.1. I upgraded 10.5 with the retail version of Snow Leopard, integrating my current apps into 10.6 (did not do a clean install). I've organized my issues below by application. This post is less about third-party applications and more about Apple apps/built-in OS features, as Apple is fully accountable for these pieces.
    APPLE APPS
    Airport:
    • Airport is now incredibly slow getting past the "searching" status message and into what was known as "scanning" status in 10.5 (now called "Looking For Networks…" status message). This issue occurs most often when I revive the computer from sleep. I have to turn Airport off and on again, then wait an inordinate amount of time to get past the useless "Searching…" message.
    Volume and Sound:
    • I rely on my volume control icon on the toolbar. I change my system volume dozens of times every day (due to my job)... previously, I could click the volume icon then simply roll the scroll wheel on my two-button mouse to adjust the volume. Now, I have to actually move my mouse down onto the volume slider area before my scroll wheel works! What gives? In allowing the user to fine-tune the volume levels, Apple removed this functionality for some reason? This is a real pain for me as the extra second it takes to do this really adds up by the end of the day.
    • Sound now starts stuttering for no reason? When I wake my computer up from sleep and I have headphones or speaker plugged in, the audio stutters greatly. I have to unplug then re-plug my speakers or headphones to fix the issue! This is a problem I saw on many PCs due to sound cards not playing with Windows nicely, but was NEVER an issue I experienced using OS X.
    • The Mac OS startup chime plays on my MacBook external speaker when I startup, even though I have speakers or headphones plugged in! It also does not matter if I had my system volume on mute when restarting • the OS seems to now decide what volume my system should be at when I start up!
    Safari:
    • Defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    • Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    • Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    Stacks:
    • Apple seems to have completely removed the functionality or sortable sub-folder listings? For example, if I choose to sort my stack by "Date Modified", the initial list of folders in the stack appear by date, but all my sub-folders appear in Alpha order, and there is no way to change this! Come on Apple, why remove this?
    iPhoto:
    • Freezes completely when I go to "Export…". My Export opens on the Facebook tab of the dialogue box, and it seems the issue occurs when iPhoto can't find the source image. Rather than an error message though, I get the color wheel of death.
    Spotlight/Search:
    • When I search from a Finder window, sometimes I get the new feature of sortable results columns to work, but sometimes I don't. Seems arbitrary when it works and when it doesn't.
    System Preferences:
    • More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    Install:
    • In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard, so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    Preview:
    • Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    THIRD-PARTY APPS
    Entourage:
    • Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    CS3:
    • Slower than ever, Photoshop is running at a snail's pace.
    I hope everyone can contribute to this string and get Apple to fix these problems.

    I can address some of these:
    Safari defaults to 64-bit mode silently, and this breaks most plug-ins (my issue was with download manager iGetter, specifically). I had to manually Get Info on the app, then switch back to 32-bit mode, which it seems Apple has not designed Snow Leopard to support properly?
    All applications, to the best of my knowledge, will run in 64-bit if they include 64-bit code. With most you'll never notice, but if an application supports plugins, then you have to pay attention to whether the plug-in is available in a 64-bit version. More and more are becoming available, but not all. If you have plug-ins that aren't, you need to set the app - Safari or whatever - to 32-bit mode. This is not a bug; it's necessitated by the conversion to full-time 64-bit support. The developer of iGetter claims that an update for compatibility with Safari in 64-bit mode is under development but no time frame has been given.
    Snow Leopard is perfectly capable of running 32-bit apps. You just can't mix them, running a 32-bit plugin in a 64-bit app.
    Freezes and crashes more often, most often when running Flash video. This occurs when I open multiple videos on YouTube, for example.
    Have you installed the latest version of Flash? Flash is almost always a bit problematical, but I've had no problems running Flash content on any site with SL.
    Hogging memory even more than it used to (1GB of RAM to run the app?? Really?)
    This may just be an issue of not being clear on how Mac OS X allocates memory. This article may provide some insight:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342
    More of an annoyance, System Preferences now has to restart the first time I click on any third-party preference in "Other". Some work, most don't.
    This is normal if a preference pane has not been provided in a 64-bit version.
    In previous OS X upgrades, Apple gave me the option to "Backup and Install". This option was not present on Snow Leopard
    Actually it was called "archive and install" and was removed as an option as no longer necessary. The normal installation creates all necessary new files and more robustly replaces old ones, so having an archive of the old system folder was deemed to no longer be needed.
    so not sure what a user can d if they do not have a Time Machine backup and their install fails.
    To restore completely from a full Time Machine backup, you erase the disk using Disk Utility from the menu in the Installer, then choose to restore from a TM backup.
    Preview slows down considerably when opening multiple files.
    Seems to work OK for me. I've had as many as twenty open with no noticeable slowdown. But you may be opening much larger documents than I have.
    Entourage froze up when I tried to simply delete one of my email accounts. The Accounts window went blank and the application froze.
    Impossible to offer any advice here without knowing what version of Entourage you're using, whether it's been fully updated, and what type of email account this was.
    Regards.
