5.1.3 and ClickToFlash

I've just updated to 5.1.3 and ClickToFlash seems to have stopped working. I get the greyed out box but clicking does not - even if I whitelist the site it still has grey boxes.
I've reinstalled it to no avail and there is nothing listed on the ClickToFlash.com website.
Anyone else had similar?

I will ask the developer but wondered if it was just me!

Safari 5.1.7 reports all extensions invalid including AdBlock and ClickToFlash

I connect to internet at home(direct connect to internet) and office(throuth web proxy) on same macbook pro. Before update to Safari 5.1.7, AdBlock and ClickToFlash both worked fine in two place. After update to safari 5.1.7, safari always report that AdBlock and ClickToFlash is invalid when at office. But AdBlock and ClickToFlash work fine when I at home.
Anyone has some idea for this issue? Thanks.

Time Machine slow, and getting slower

I am a recent Windows emigrant with a two-week-old, 11" MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD, and Mountain Lion. All system software is up to date. Five third-party applications I have added are Google Chrome, LibreOffice, Skype, TeamViewer, and VLC. Add-ons include Flash and Java, WoT and LastPass for Chrome and Safari, and ClickToFlash and ClickToPlugin for Safari. The system appears to be badware-free.
The first time I backed up this unit with Time Machine, I was using a 16 GB Kingston DataTraveler SE9 flash drive. It took the expected, several hours to back up some 13 GB of items. This backup was created after I had installed all desired applications and plugins (sans Silverlight, which always has to be reinstalled following a restoration), and before installing any updates. I'd created it in a hurry, as I like to get the first snapshot in before anything crashes so much as once; the contents of this drive will not be changed in the foreseeable future.
For ongoing backups - until I run out of space - I have a new, 64 GB PNY Micro Metal Attaché. I should mention that I have done a restoration from Time Machine, followed by an archive & install, after trying Mozilla Thunderbird and finding its filters to be apparently quite buggy on the Mac; I have also reset the SMC and NVRAM, and repaired disk and user permissions.
When I'd started Time Machine with the new PNY disk two days ago, it gave time estimates of 8-12 hours for 13.78 GB. Since then, I've watched it start off copying a few megs a minute, then start crawling like a camel with one shy of the last straw on its back; and the speed continues to taper off. At about 7:00 this morning, 9.51 GB were backed up. And now, at 4:35 p.m., I'm at 9.57 GB with 21 hours remaining.
I fear these 21 hours will ultimately translate to 21 days or perhaps weeks, if Time Machine is even capable of dragging itself across the finish line at all. Since getting app and system configurations all setup the way I want them - complete with a Mail rule to redirect messages tagged as spam to five different authorities - I am determined to wait this out in hopes that it actually finishes. Then, I intend to image the PNY disk and try troubleshooting this bug.
I have seen countless forums regarding this issue, most of them dealing with Time Capsules rather than USB drives, and most of them unresolved. Among the cases that appear to be resolved, I'm not finding any real consensus on a fix for this. KB article PH11172 is useless to me, as none of the information reflects my scenario. A couple of suggestions I have had from AppleCare Advisors are to try another flash drive, and do an erase & reinstall. Any others?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Everything else I have tried on this computer has been responsive and smooth. I have long since come to terms with the fact that all OSes are delicate, yet always strive to render an apparatus so neatly put together that it can run for months without a single incident; fine china is picture-perfect and priceless before it is broken. Happy Easter!

@drdocument:
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I realize the rule of thumb is for the backup volume to have equal or greater capacity than the source volume, and intend to purchase a larger drive when the need arises. But for the time being, I have only 22.09 GB of occupancy on the startup disk, including the OS itself. 13.78 GB is the quoted size of an initial backup on a blank drive, not a differential. And I realize that the initial backup itself will take awhile, and that comparisons and deletions for differential backups may take time as well. But neither of these should take days on account of 13.78 GB, and the latter actually doesn't apply in this case, as I am using a fresh drive. And again, the first backup only took several hours on the Kingston, which is 1/4 the capacity of the PNY drive itself. That said, I appreciate you having brought these things up, as they are important details that I had neglected to mention.
After opening this discussion, I realized that, assuming the issue is software-related; creating a whole, new backup after correcting the issue would likely take a lot less time than waiting for Time Machine to finish backing up the remaining few gigs in its present condition. Also, the difference between the initial backup on my Kingston and the current state of my system is mere megabytes, as the only changes I made after creating that backup included updating from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3, and setting some preferences. So I created an image of the Kingston in Disk Utility, and am now extracting it over to another 16 GB flash drive. When finished, I will use this second drive to save my changes in a differential backup before trying the erase & reinstall; hopefully, my crippled Time Machine can handle a few hundred megabytes before the reinstall. I will post an update either way, to let you know how it turns out.
Thanks again!

ClickToFlash Refresh YouTube Problem

I have the latest versions of Safari, Adobe Flash and ClickToFlash installed. An unkown problem has occured when viewing videos on YouTube. When I am on a YouTube page and click on another video at the side of the page it stays on the same video unless I manually refresh the page. However, when I turn off the ClickToFlash Extension under Safari preferences everything works as it should.
I never used to have this occurence.

Not sure if this will help with ClickToFlash installed but won't hurt to try ..
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
I just installed the ClickToFlash extension then tested videos on Youtube wtihout a problem.

Improve battery life on 10.8.2

After showing much patience with Mountain Lion I've had enough of waiting for a fix for the poor battery life issue. Yesterday I decided to take matters into my own hands and investiate the issue myself. I installed the 250Gb hard drive (Hitachi 5400rpm) that was supplied with my 13" Macbook Pro 7,1 (Mid 2010 - you know, the one with the 10 hour battery life ) and performed a Clean install of Mountain Lion, then patched to 10.8.2. At this point I installed a smart battery monitor, and took notes on the power drain from the battery sitting at idle. Notes pasted below, not that these are definative proof of what is causing excessive power draw however and are merely notes of what I have tried so far. Goal was to get the power draw as low as possible when sitting at idle.
Kill Dashboard: Open Terminal.app, Type in: defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES;killall Dock - Hit Enter.

Disable iCloud.
Shutdown macbook - remove Super Drive

Idle power consumption with Notes,Activity Monitor and Smart Battery Monitor only 6.7W - Baseline
eth0 enabled - 7.6W
Bluetooth enabled for trackpad - 9.01W
External USB Keyboard connected - 9.1 W
Sign Back into iCloud - 14.62 W
Signed into iCloud but idle (after a few minutes) - 9W
Enable location Services and Find my Mac - 13.37 W
Consumption at idle now 9W
disable all NIC's, remove USB Keyboard and disable bluetooth - 7.15W
So you can see that I managed to get the draw from battery as low as 6.7W. iCloud and removing the super drive appear to have made the biggest difference so far, but it is inconsistent. What other steps do you recommend to try next?

There's already a thread discussing the battery issue here. Have a read...probably starting backwards since it's quite long. A completely clean install of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (not an upgrade, patch or combo udpate) has resolved the issue for many folks. My MacBook Air was suffering severe battery drain after upgrading to ML 10.8 as well. Performing a fresh install of 10.8.2 corrected it.
My advice would be to wipe the hard drive and perform a fresh installation. Everything you need to know can be found here:
How to Clean Install OS X Mountain Lion
It's also advisable to do a manual restore...re-download apps, drag other files in from backups, etc. rather than using a full Time Machine restore or Migration Assistant. That will ensure that if there was a problem it won't migrate back and you'll have a pristine installation.
Hope that helps and best of luck!

Disable animated gifs in 64 bit Safari?

Hello. Since pith helmet announced that it'll take them a while to write a version compatible with 64 bit Safari, animated gifs have become an issue again, unless one goes back to 32 bit mode. SafariStand and ClickToFlash are of no help here. Does anyone know how to have animated gifs stand? Thanks.

Hi
the preference keys mentioned in webkit builds & within the safari app seem not to work, but this extension
https://github.com/matsadler/deanimator appears useful and is obviously easy to remove if it causes any problems. Works well here, in brief testing - but see the limitations

Safari 5.0.2 with OS X 10.6.5 upgrade crashes frequently

Upgraded my MBP to OS X 10.6.5 yesterday and since then, Safari browser has been crashing repeatedly. I've tried to disable individually the Adblock and ClickToFlash extensions, but the only way I was able to solve was disabling ALL the extensions.
Before the upgrade (10.6.4), everything was working flawlessly.
Is anyone suffering from the same problem?

Regarding this issue, the contents of the reoccurring crash dump are the same (Javascript engine problem?):

More Safari weirdness

In addition to the bug I've chimed in on elsewhere in this forum (Bookmarks Bar doesn't appear when opening new windows), now the Tab Bar is displaying weirdness, as shown in the screenshot below.

Resetting Safari, trashing prefs and ClickToFlash (the only enhancement I've added) has no effect
Message was edited by: Dino Ilarde

Safari preferences and Click To Flash have nothing to do with it, so deleting or removing those won't solve the problem. If I were you, I'd download the 10.6.2 Update and reinstall that, then Repair Disk Permissions and then restart Safari to see if the problem continues.

Safari 4 slow, crash, shutdown problems? Three solutions to try...

There are many posts addressing Safari 4's slowness and worse. I had these problems and cured them with three fixes:
1. Empty Cache periodically - Still tried and true. For me, a blank screen trying to load is the cue to empty cache - page then pops.
2. Turn off Top Sites. This "enhancement" consumes time and takes hard drive space. Someone suggested turning it off and then getting rid of the files (not folders) it had set aside. (They are located in home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews.) I found almost 3,000 files consuming about 600 MB residing there! They are simply saved web pages, so no hidden risks from deleting them. The next thing to do is keep Safari from saving new webpages. I found the simplest solution is to click on "Website Previews," then Get Info and change permission to "Read Only." I did these Top Sites actions in July. It really helped and I've had no problems.
Then, my Safari started slowing down again, frequently getting hung up (requiring Force Quit), and even crashing. Also, my computer was running hot. I turned on Activity Monitor in the Dock with CPU usage showing and saw the CPU was being driven up to 100% by some websites. Businessweek.com became my test site because it was so slow and invariably crashed Safari after a short while. The key seemed to be the number of Flash videos a webpage was trying to load, so I started a search for a cure. That led me to...
3. Install ClickToFlash (http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/). You can find others who have recommended it in the Apple discussions and elsewhere. Easy to download, it's unobtrusive and IT WORKS! Now, those Business Week pages load quickly with four(!) little white boxes labeled "Flash". There is a gear that gives you options: load flash, load all on this page, add -site- to whitepage (meaning always load flash on this website - this whitepage list can be edited), and ClickToFlash settings. It's quick and easy to turn on a flash. Now, my Activity Monitor hardly moves, and my computer runs cool.
Hope these help for you. For me, these solutions have cured my Safari problems - at least until Apple releases a new upgrade or version.

1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, and restart Safari.

Safari extensions slowing down browser

Hi!
Lately, I've noticed a degradation of performance and speed in my Safari browser after installing a few extensions, but I just love my new extensions too much to remove them.
Safari 5 is great! It works speedily and powerfully and pulled me towards it away from Chrome and Firefox. However, lately, the lag and, the crashing and the poorer performance all together are really irritating me to the limits. Its strange how I am not one of those who completely redesign the browser with so many extensions. I'm actually far from that. I only have about four tweaks installed and I hate the behaviour I'm experiencing these days.
All Im asking is for a short-term fix to this error and, over time, a look into this by Apple for a permanent bandage to this glitch. I'm very sure they'll do this better than the rest very soon and am just waiting anxiously for results.

Deleting Safari caches like recommended will not help. Bad code of specific apps are the reason. Try this: deactivate ALL extension. Stop the time for the complete run of *SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark* http://www2.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html (MyMacbookPro Core2Duo 2.33Ghz, Safari_5.0.2: 18sec) and the note the result of the test (MyMacBookPro: 328,5ms +/- 0.7%. During the run monitor the CPU usage (MyMacBook: both Core are quite equally used, CPU-load floats from one to the other and back but never only one used and never more than approx. 80% of the possible 200%). Than switch on your first Extension (one after one and never two at the same time), Run SunSpider and monitor like recommended. Bad coded Extensions like AdBlock do influence run-through time of Sunspider like **** (MyMacbook with only AdBlock Extension activated: 1min34sec - compared against the 18sec without Adblock: 522% slower!!!!) and CPU-load (MyMacBook with AdBlock: 100%, one Core totally blocked - no more floating around between both Cores. The SunSpider results stay bretty pretty much the same (MyMacBookPro with AdBlock: 348,5ms +/- 13.4%). Bad Safari Extensions do extend the loading time of Java-Code dramatically (by over 500%) and do chance unfavorably the CPU-Load during the execution of the JAVA-Code. With other words: Bad coded Extensions are a bottleneck to push Java-Code from the Web to Safaris hyper-fast Java-Engine. As a result I did go back to the old standalone and SIMBL-based versions of AdBlock and ClickToFlash.

YouTube: Scary loud, distorted sound

This happens seemingly at random on YouTube: The video loads (from the player bar), but the image remains blank. When attempting to play, a completely distorted noise AT FULL VOLUME is played (no video). This is scary and extremely unpleasant.
Any idea on what can cause that?
I have Glims and ClickToFlash installed.

HI,
ClickToFlash could be the culprit.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Also, delete and reinstall a new copy of the Flash Player plugin and see if that helps.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

ClickToFlash and ClickToPlugin stopped working?

I've been using them on Mavericks and they worked fine, they get rid of the standard Flash player on Youtube and use HTML5, without ads and useless controls. Also, they allow you to download the video for example.
Now on Yosemite if they're active not only I don't get the HTML5 player, I can't watch the video at all! The native Flash Youtube player won't load at all, as if I had no flash player installed, and it gives me that red box with the sad face and tells me to download it. If I turn them off in the extensions panel, then videos work again with the standard Youtube Flash player. It's almost as though not only they're incompatible with Yosemite, not doing their work, but if they're turned on they mess with the Flash Player that I do have and that does work otherwise. So I need to keep them OFF, and use the ugly native player...
Anyone else experiencing this? I've checked but there's no updates available in the extensions panel. Since I've downloaded them through the Apple Safari extensions page, one would think that they would update them for Yosemite? I don't know...

Nobody offered a suggestion though!
I have the same problem. Have chosen to disable it in YouTube because the HTML5 just won't load. It all looks good, sitting there waiting with the usual placeholder there, but when I click on it, nothing loads.

Is there a way to block all video's and add's from youtube?

Hello Apple Support Communities!
I would like to watch youtube without the add's and all the other clutter around the video's. Now there is a really nice extension for Safari which can do that for you: clea.nr videos. Does a really nice job (see picture) - try it.
However the video add's which probably are the most annoying especially when they are dutch still show up despite having installed adblock. I noticed that there is no such thing as Adblockplus for safari (in chome and firefox it solves this problem). Is there a fix for this problem in safari? Or it's chosing between clea.nr video's with video add's or for chrome which I don't like.
I'm using a macbook air with 10.8.5 and safari 6.0.5.
Many thanks to you all!
N.

Using http://clicktoflash.com/ or similar extensions allows viewing HTML5 video instead of Flash for most youtube pages, and here, on the few pages that I see, anyway... means that no video ads are shown before the main one.
Glimmerblocker can be set up to block the ads in Youtube/ Flash (or still could recently, when I tried it)

My itunes stalls or skips whenever I'm either using my VLC player or Modzilla/Firefox browser and going from page to page especially when I attempt to view a video?

I have re-installed successfully iTunes without solving the problem that it skips, freezes or otherwise doesn't work correctly whenever I'm viewing video on VLC player or attempting to view videos online?
Also, when playing music on iTunes my VLC video player pauses during song transitions?
Also, when dowloading music it sometimes shows a dot instead of the ioTunes music note logo abd iTines refuses to import or convert it into the iTunes Library?
I'm about to junk iTunes altogether for another player, however, I've used iTunes for nearly 11 years and love it!

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.
