Activity window isn`t working

HEY
I have tried to download videos from Youtube, Putlocker and Facebook, trough the activity window,
but every time, i try to download the relevant video, it opens up in a new tab with only the video and
isn´t downloading it, like it usually do in the downloading window.
This really bugs me, because all the sites Youtube, putlocker (except for facebook) i tried before
and at that time it worked. I really hope you can help me!
(Mac OS X version 10.7.3)

Hi..
Might be corrupted preferences (.pllist)
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go
Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

  • The Edit Window isn't working.

    Hi Guys, The Edit Window isn't working. It immediately crashes the Programm, when i try to open the Single Track View. Any Ideas?

    Uninstall and reinstall the software. If it still does this, contact Adobe's chat line; that's specifically what they are there to fix, amongst other things.

  • PDF Windows isn't working

    Good day all here!
    Some days ago - I don't remember after a Windows-7-Professional (64 Bit) and/or and Adobe-Update (they took place on the same day) Acrobat 8.0 Professional (I still use Creative Suite 3.2) isn't working correct anymore. Opening a PDF results in a courrpted presentation mainly without the windows-page-frame and the options-bar of Adobe Acrobat. I can't close the PDF normaly (no "x" visible) and only sometimes when I switch it into the taks bar and back on it works - or not. I'm able to open Acrobat normal by doulbe clicking the icon and when I move a PDF into it seems to works fine.
    I would be thankful for any help - thanks a lot!

  • Safari activity window downloads not working now

    When clicking on the relavent file in the activity window -it now simply opens another Safari window and doesn't download.
    anyone else having this problem ?
    kindest,
    becca

    You need to press the Option key while double-clicking to start a download. If you don't, the item may or may not start downloading depending on its type and the server's configuration.

  • Using -private in conjunction with -new-window isn't working correctly

    Using an external program to launch Firefox with command line arguments, it seems that using -private and -new-window URL doesn't seem to work correctly. It's almost as if one or the other gets completely ignored. Has anyone else noticed this?
    Ideally, i'd like to be able to ALWAYS launch a new window to a specified URL in private mode by default.

    It is not possible to open an external link in a Private Browsing mode window.
    You can look at this extension:
    *Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
    The Firefox menu button gets a purple background or you get a purple PB mask on the Menu bar or tab bar (Linux) when you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.
    You can set the extensions.privateTab.allowOpenExternalLinksInPrivateTabs pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to see if that works (haven't tested this with a command line).

  • My kuler window isn't working says that is verifying for a valid adobe id

    How can I fix my kuler window? It looks that is downloading something but also says that is verifying for a valid adobe id

    I had the same problem. Try updating the software. That should solve the problem. Just know that they renamed Kuler to Color Themes and you can find that under the Window drop down.

  • Outlook's active view isn't working anymore

    I can't preview an attachment anymore in Outlook using Firefox. It does work with Internet Explorer though. Just started having this problem the last couple of days.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.
    I think that it is the <i>Stylish</i> add-on.

  • Active window hidden after 10.5.2 update

    I installed 10.5.2 today and now my active window isn't moving to the front on my desktop. The top of the window turns dark gray but the window doesn't change places with the window that had been the active window.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Baltwo - here is one of the discussions about Spaces problems:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1236790&start=0&tstart=0
    When these people were losing application windows (myself included), using the Spaces commands of Control-arrow or Control-number brought the windows back.
    I’m sure it is a difficult problem for Apple programmers and beta-testers to find because it doesn’t happen on every system. It does it on my office computer, but not on my home computer, where I’ve never tried Spaces. But others have said they could not replicate the problem.
    I use a lot of third party software on my office machine, like iClock and WeatherPop, that could be causing this behavior in Spaces because they activate periodically to update from the internet and who knows what else. Or it could be some other automatic application that somehow triggers Spaces.
    Because the very simple workaround of using the Spaces commands fixes the problem immediately, I have started using the Spaces application and on the rare occasion it loses a window, I can quickly correct it.
    Something was changed in the 10.5.2 update, because the disappearing windows and Spaces automatically activating when it was not enabled has occurred less often with this version, but I’ve still had it occur with the latest version. The problem now is so rare, after a few days of using 10.5.2 I posted a comment somewhere that the Spaces problem was fixed in this update, but then it occurred again after that.
    Other than losing windows, I’ve had Spaces automatically activate itself. I have PowerPoint in one Space and Safari in another. I wanted to drag some public domain photos from the internet into a PowerPoint presentation, so I disabled Spaces in System Preferences to have both available to drag the pictures because items cannot be dragged between Spaces, or at least none I know of. As I was dragging a picture from a website, PowerPoint disappeared back into its Space. I went to System Preferences and confirmed Spaces was NOT enabled, and yet the Spaces commands worked to move through the Spaces.
    I’ve seen many places in this forum where you have provided excellent advice. Please keep up the good work.

  • Activity window in safari is very complicated.. any fix?

    Streaming videos in safari were so easy to download in Lion. Mountain Lion really made the activity window a mess(in my opinion)! Has anyone found a way to download streamning videos in Safari? I tried downloading from the new activity window but with least success.
    Any suggestions?

    I've been searching this on google for days now with very little success. However, I did find a method that works. I put this together from bits and pieces of what i've found on google, then expanded on it. It's not as easy as it was with the original activity window, however it does the job and I hope that this works out for you.
    1) First off you need to enable the Developer menu in safari: Safari>Preferences>Advanced and put a check box next to "show developer menu in menu bar". Once you've done this, you'll find a new menu at the top of the screen named "Develop". Now if you've been searching google you've probably seen this already, tried it out, and failed. Keep reading though, it gets better
    2) Next, navigate to the website from which you would like to download the streaming video/music/content. Do not click on the content yet to start it. You do not want safari to start downloading/streaming before you are ready to capture it.
    3) Once you are at the site you want, go to the "Develop" menu and click on "Start Timeline Recording" The bottom third of safari will now show you all the different file/content that are currently being streamed to your computer. It shouldn't show anything yet since you havn't started streaming your video yet.
    4) Once you have clicked on that, you should now start to play the content which you want to download.
    5) Now that it is streaming and downloading, it will show up in the Network Requests Timeline. If you are trying to download a flash video or sound file, I would expect it to be bigger than 1MB, so on the right side of the network requests window, sort the files by size so that the largest files appear on top. When you believe you see the file that you wish to download, go back up to the "Develop" windows and click on "Stop Timeline Recording".
    6) Next to the file that you wish to download in the Network Requests Timeline, there should be a little arrow that is pointing to the right. Click on it and it will try to play the video. It has a hard time loading for me, but that isn't important. What is important is that on the right side of the window, it gives you the full address of the video file.
    7) Highlight the address, copy it, and paste it into the address bar of safari and press enter. The file will now begin to download to your "downloads" folder or wherever you have designated your files to be downloaded to.
    And your done!!!!!!
    It's definately not as easy as the old windows activity window, but it works, and in some ways is easier..... Once you get in the habbit of doing it correctly. If anybody is still having trouble, make a reply on here and I will see about doing a picture or video tutorial.
    And to anybody who works for Apple that might read this, the activity window was one of the single greatest features that I have ever seen on a web browser. I suspect it may have been removed beacuse of people downloading material(s) that they were not suppose to download, but for all the bad that might have been done with it, it was an amazing tool and a real loss for safari which I think will drive people to other browsers. Please re-activate the activity window and don't cripple safari any further.

  • "Activity window" in Safari no longer works to download YouTube videos. Why not? Workaround?

    For years I have used Apple's recommended standard technique whenever I wanted to download a Flash video embedded in a YouTube page to my hard drive:
    - Open a YouTube page and click on the video's "play" button to get it started;
    - Press command-option-A to then open up Safari's "Activity Window" which lists all the components of the page;
    - Find on the list the component for the loading Flash video, which is usually much larger (measured in MB rather than KB) than all the other components, and also is usually still in the process of loading, so it's easy to spot;
    - Double-click the component's name on the list in the Activity Window, and voila, the video downloads to my hard drive.
    This "trick" is described everywhere as THE standard way to download YouTube videos (and similar page components); and I have used it successfully for many years.
    HOWEVER, sometime very recently (not sure when, exactly -- a few weeks or months ago) YouTube has changed the way its pages are coded, so that this technique no longer works. When I open the Activity Window, instead of seeing one large loading video file that's easily identifiable, I see a whole series of large files, all exactly 1.7mb big (no matter how large the file size of the actual video in question is), and they constantly increase in number -- at first there are two such files, but over the seconds and minutes more and more appear. Furthermore, many files with no named size are constantly loading and then disappearing. And here's the whole point: I've tried double-clicking on ALL of these files, dozens of ways on dozens of YouTube pages, and none of the are the video file I seek and none of them cause the file to  download to my hard drive.
    If I click on one the mysterious 1.7mb components, I indeed get a ".flv" downloaded to my hard drive, but it's not actually a Flash video; clicking on its downloaded file icon just brings up a blank box or an error message saying that it's not really a video file at all. I think it's some sort of "decoy" file or something to do with streaming Flash code.
    To see what I mean, just go to YouTube, load any random video page, and then open Safari's Activity WIndow and try to download the video that way.
    This happens on an iMac running Safari 5.1 on OSX 10.6.8, and also on a MacBook Pro running Safari 5.0.2  on OSX 10.6.5, and on a few other new-ish Macs I tested it out on, but failed to note their version numbers.
    I'm presuming that this problem is not specific to my computer, but is caused by the way that YouTube altered the background code for their pages. I don't know if the glitch is an intentional attempt by YouTube to prevent downloads, or if it is an accidental "bug" of the new code. Either way:
    How can I fix the problem? Is there some other lesser-known built-in way for Safari/Mac to download the new kind of YouTube videos? Or is there some reliable freeware or shareware or plug-in or extension or whatever for Safari that would enable YouTube downloading?
    I tried a freeware program called "Evom" that was highly touted, but it too was thwarted by the new YouTube code and failed to extract any videos from the YouTube page, even though that's what the application was designed to do.
    As a side note, I will say that I also have (though rarely use) FireFox for Mac, and the "Unplug" plug-in installed on it, and that ALSO "broke" recently and no longer has the capacity to recognize or download YouTube videos, even though previously it worked fine. This is why I think the issue is not specific to my set-up or computer, but is due to a change in YouTube's underlying code.)
    Any help with an explanation, solution or workaround would be much appreciated (by me and by millions of others who I assume are facing the same problem!).

    Carolyn:
    I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
    Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
    (I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
    In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:
    http://s.youtube.com/s?rendering=software&lact=102489&decoding=&rt=112.382&et=11 0.829&tsphab=1&st=69.939&tspne=0&tspfdt=262&nsiabblmin=62945.000&nsidf=2&tabsb=1 &ad_flags=0&h=360&nsiabblmean=72646.865&md=1&docid=zPxFu7taftE&bc=15194849&csipt =watch5ad&ad_event=3&el=detailpage&hasstoryboard=1&vid=72A5TVVpDgRoXDV3HvMeKPjLx BFdU61DC&fmt=34&cr=US&sd=BD075E8E6HH1336502192683396&vtmp=1&nsiabblmax=79054.000 &hl=en_US&ns=yt&nsivbblmax=774478.000&referrer=None&sidx=0&hbd=7790924&w=480&hbt =2.751&cid=6&sendtmp=1&sst=0&cfps=25.974025974025974&screenw=1440&mt=0.6&vq=auto &playerw=640&playerh=390&slots=sst~0;sidx~0;at~2_3&scoville=1&at=2_3&volume=100& art=1.842&mos=0&plid=AAS_iqoqfi0mjNc0&fs=0&nsivbblc=208&nsivbblmin=561638.000&bd =931267&allowed=1_1,1_3,2_1,2_3&bt=7.441&fvid=bNz97ILtwqc&screenh=900&len=127.92 &vw=480&nsivbblmean=668895.024&nsiabblc=208&vh=360&fexp=912001,914050,913539,919 306,907217,901802,906507

    Are you getting any error message or other data that helps to understand why the SR # is not working?  Sometimes when entering a serial number a letter or number is entered incorrectly because a 1 looks like an l or an s looks like a 5.  Make certain that this type of an entry error is not your problem.

    Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.

  • Apple wireless keyboard isn't working on fresh Windows 7 Boot Camp except in safe mode

    OK so yesterday I decided to reinstall Windows 7 to my mid 2011 27 inch iMac. I've had Windows 7 on it for a couple years but it got so bogged down that I wanted to start from scratch. However once I finished installing all of the Boot Camp 5.0 drivers from Apple the wireless keyboard stopped working. I'm not sure if the Magic Mouse would work because I use a wired Razer mouse which works fine and I don't feel like digging it out. I know that the keyboard can work becase I'm useing it to type this right now in Windows safe mode but when I boot Windows normally (Without holding F8) the keyboard doesn't work at all. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know as I've tried for at least 4 hours to get it to work with no luck. I tried reseting the NVRAM and PRAM, reinstalling the apple drivers, removing and resyncing the keyboard in both OSX and Windows 7. If anyone has a solution for this please let me know.

    Even after all of your suggestions, as well as Apple Care's (I have a case # and everything), I still get random freezes either before, during, or after log-in. The latest futile attemps including complete removal of the Citrix software, and creation of a new user account.
    Thanks also to all of you, I know I'm not alone:

    Feedback submitted... Apple had best address this issue IMMEDIATELY. It is embarassing to have to use either my Windows PC at work, or my 4-year-old G4 iMac at home, because my new $2000+ iMac occasionally turns into an aluminum-and-glass paperweight.
