Bing extension causes conflict in Safari

After having installed the Bing Highlight extension in Safari (5.0.2) I found that Safari couldn't communicate anymore with the internet banking pages of my bank (Rabo Bank). After having the Bing extension uninstalled everything run fine again. So far this is the only conflict caused by Bing I discovered. Has anyone else had problems with the extension?

Hello and welcome.....
When an Extension doesn't work correctly, best thing to do is contact the developer which in this case is Microsoft.

Apparently Bing generates redirects meaning when you try to access your banking site, Bing automatically redirects probably to the Bing search page.......

How do I get bing off my mac. Safari keeps defaulting to Bing when I search. Thank you. Peter Morse

How do I get bing off my Mac. Safari keeps defaulting to Bing when I search. Thank you.

You installed the "Genieo" search-hijacking rootkit. There is an uninstaller, but as the developer is dishonest, you can't use it. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/etc/launchd.conf
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder may open with a file selected, or the file may not exist, in which case you'll get a message that it can't be found. If it does exist, it's a configuration file created or replaced by the Genieo installer. Any software installer that does this should be considered ipso facto malware. Move the file to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Then restart, empty the Trash, and continue as below.
IMPORTANT: If the launchd.conf file exists, you must move it to the Trash and restart before continuing. Otherwise the system may become unbootable. In that case, restore from your backup and start over. That's how badly Genieo has sabotaged your system. If you're not completely sure you can complete this step, stop here and ask for guidance.
Some variants of Genieo don't include the launchd.conf file. The absence of that file doesn't mean that Genieo is not installed.
Step 2
Quit the Genieo application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way as above:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
There's no need to restart after each one. Again, some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Your web browser(s) should now function normally, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This procedure may leave a few files behind, but it should deactivate Genieo. Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install it. Chances are you got it from one of the Internet's open sewers such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.

So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.

There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Make sure: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Is there a conflict between Safari 4.0.3 and the latest version of FlashPlayer? Everytime I try to download, FP ends up in "Disabled Plugins" in my Library, and I can't move it out of there.

Is there a conflict between Safari 4.0.4 and the latest version of FlashPlayer? I have tried repeatedly to download and install the latter. Instead of properly installing, FP ends up in my Disabled Plugins folder in my Library. Help!

Safari 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 ?? your profile shows you are running v10.6.8.
If you are running v10.6.8, click your Apple menu / Software Update. The current version of Safari is 5.0.5.
Then if necessary, reinstall Flash.

Starting PG with CUCM PIM causes conflict with previous PG with CUCM PIM

So far I've got running PG1 with CUCM and CVP PIMs, and PG5 with CUCM and VRU PIM (for 3rd party VRU). They both seem to be running well.
Now I've added PG6 with CUCM and VRU PIMs, and when it is started, PG6 causes conflict with PG5 - rtr log shows right away that PG5 CUCM PIM got disconnected, not operational, and offline.
Is there some limit on the number of times CUCM PIM can be added to various PGs?
The system is Cisco UCCE 9.0.
Thanks in advance.

But I am actually running several more PGs on the same system but they all VRU PGs.
I've got PG4, PG7 VRU running.
Does VRU fall into a different category?
BTW, we have another system UCCE 10.5 and my co-worker claims that he could not create 3rd PG, the system only allowed him 2 PGs per system.
On the system that I am using that is UCCE 9.0.3, I can create as many PGs as I want - the system does not limit PGs at all.
Is this something new with 10.5? Or is it different configuration mode (production versus development)?
Thanks.

Extensions disabled when relaunching Safari

I'm running the latest version of 10.9 and Safari on an iMac i7. Every time I quit and relaunch Safari, my extensions are disabled. I've tried trashing the extensions .plist, as well as resetting Safari

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

VGA cable extension causing resolution problems

Pavilion 6507c with HP 2010i monitor, Windows 7 64-bit. I am trying to separate the CPU and monitor by a few feet more than the original 6' VGA cable allows. Have tried an extension plus original, and also a single longer cable. With anything but the short original cable, the computer no longer recognizes the monitor - it shows it as Generic non-PnP, and will not allow 1600:900, so the picture is stretched. Re-installed 2010i drivers - still comes up generic.
Is there any way to extend the monitor distance without sacrificing proper resolution?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I wouldn't be too concerned about receiving a no signal message when shutting the PC down. With a longer cable, the signal may degrade sooner causing the no signal message to appear during the shutdown process.
Displays work by the monitor sending the EDID information to the PC and this is part of how the PC identifies what resolutions are available to this monitor. The original cable is allowing this information to be sent from the monitor back to the PC. The PC then retains this information which is what allows it to work with the longer cable after swapping out the 6' VGA cable for a longer or extended one. Once the system is shutdown, the EDID information is lost. This is why it doesn't work once the system is shutdown and started with an extended or long cable.
You did mention an important difference between the cables: the lack of a ferrite core. This Wikipedia entry discusses ferrite beads (aka: ferrite core) and what use they have. Essentially, it reduces the level of interference which could cause the EDID information to be lost before reaching the PC. This is more noticeable when using a long cable, so this could be due to the lack of the ferrite core. However, the adapter listed in my previous post should rectify the resolution issue (though, it would still be listed as a generic PnP monitor).
I would weigh the cost of a cable with the ferrite core against the cost of getting an EDID emulator and select the cheaper option. I know an EDID emulator will rectify this issue, but I cannot say that getting a cable with the ferrite core will correct this issue with 100% certainty. I do know not having a ferrite core can cause signal quality issues. If you can still exchange the cables, then that may be the cheaper option.
Let me know what happens.

No extensions will install in Safari 5.01

Upgraded to 5.01 so i could use the extension library from Apple, but none of the extensions will install.
Extensions are turned on in the preference pane, but every time I try to install one I get this message. "Safari can't install this extension" An error occurred while installing the extension xxxxxx. xxxxx can be replaced by any extension name. I have tried all of them and none will install.
I moved the extension .plist to the trash and tried again, but no success. Any suggestions?

Interesting.
I installed the reload extension a while ago, before Safari 5.0.1 (as you know you could activate extensions in Safari 5), but it crashed Safari so I removed it.
Combing through the extensions gallery I saw it there but decided not to bother - Safari already has a reload 'button' at the end of the URL bar, and Command-R does the same thing - and after reading your experience I definitely won't bother!

What IP address Bing is using to provide Safari's "search engine from providing suggestions." ?

When you use Safari, you will find that Search engine can provide you with suggestions like this . For example, I am using Bing.
How can I know what IP address Bing is using to provide those suggestions?

>open a new tab
>type about:config in the address bar
make sure
1: browser.fixup.alternate.enabled should be false
2: keyword.enabled should be true
3: keyword.URL should be http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

Flash causing hangs in safari 4

Hi, I've been having issues with safari 4 intermittently beachballing, and I've come to notice it's generally occurring as a flash ad/video is loading. The system log also reads...
21/09/2009 20:24:11 com.apple.WebKit.PluginAgent[270] Debugger() was called!
...something which raises my suspicions that it is flash causing the problem. Is anyone else having similar problems?
Thanks.

Hi
Two things to check.
Ensure that you have the latest version of flash as the one that is installed as part of 10.6 is old.
The second is to force Safari into 32bit mode, ctrl click the Safari icon and tick the 32bit check box.
This solved the issues I was having with shockwave.
It appears that a number of the common plugins don't quite behave themselves in 64bit mode.
Hope this helps
Regards
Gavin

CC Team License and already installed CS6 apps Causing conflicts?

Hi,
I have Illustrator CS6 and Acrobat Pro Xl already on my PC as part of Technical Communication Suite 4 (non-subscription).
I have been given a seat on a team license for CC today, and after installing the latest Desktop App, this updated Illustrator to the latest version, even though this isn't linked to my CC license. This may be causing a conflict now, as Photshop, InDesign CC etc are only being listed as Trial versions in the Desktop App, not install. I've checked with the Team License Admin and there isn't an issue as far as he is concerned.
Do I need to Deactivate the version of Illustrator CS6 I have installed and start again?
Mark

Hi Kartikay,
The problem was that I had a personal free Adobe ID logged in to the Desktop app. I removed that ID, got the original invitation deleted and got another invite which then worked when I signed in with my corporate ID. I have experienced issues using Chrome as my browser though, which may not have helped. Chrome displays blank pages when clicking links from Invitation emails and also from within the desktop app.
I'm on Windows 7 running the most up to date version of Chrome.

Font book is sick and causing Address Book, Safari, and Mail problems

Address Book, Mail, and Safari will only run if I have Font Book open. If I try to open the programs without opening Font Book they don't appear and I have to Force Quit and reopen after opening Font Book.
I run a publishing company and load and unload lots of fonts to Font Book. I guess its something I loaded recently because I now have the problem on both the computers I work on. I have no idea which fonts might be causing the problem.
What can I do?

Hello Dave,
If you've already tried cornelius' suggestion and wound up in the same place, then you've likely added a corrupt font or two to those two Macs. While the steps to clean up Font Book are correct, a bad font will immediately corrupt the new Font Book database when loaded.
So try this. Create an empty folder on your desktop and move all of the fonts you added to those Macs to the empty folder. Then perform the funtion to clean up font book again. Lastly, download and run Mark Douma's Font Finagler to clear the font cache files on the system, since they will also be damaged.
If that clears things up, then use Font Doctor to examine your fonts in the temporary folder on your desktop to repair them (if possible) before adding them back to the system.

Activating Mail account on iPhone causes conflict with Mail on iMac

I've been using my iPhone 4 to send/receive work e-mail via our Exchange server with no issue. However, when I tried to set up my phone to send/receive my home e-mail (provided by Cox Communications), it immediately caused a conflict with Apple Mail on my iMac. When I launch Mail on the iMac, I'm informed that the account is in use on another device and I need to work offline. I'm leaving for a 2-3 week trip and would really prefer not to have to log into the Cox webmail app all the time.
Is there a way to avoid this conflict and still enable me to get home e-mail on my iPhone?
BTW - I've contacted Cox and they've informed me that they provide no advanced e-mail support for any e-mail applications used by Macs.

As already provided, this is a POP account limitation that doesn't apply to an Exchange or IMAP account.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. Only one email client at a time can communicate with the incoming mail server for a POP account - to check the account for new messages and/or download new messages available at the incoming mail server. When a 2nd email client attempts to check the account for new messages while another email client is doing the same or while another email client is downloading new messages available at the incoming mail server, the incoming mail server will temporarily lock out the 2nd email client from communicating with the incoming mail server.
Not a problem with an Exchange or IMAP account which are designed to be accessed by more than one email client with the ability for more than one email client to be accessing the server for the account at the same time.

HT1338 All browsers causing crashes except safari

I have OS X Lion, every browser (Firefox, Chrome) except for Safari crashed the computer when I open it. This just started happening about 2 weeks ago. Help!!

If you have not done so already, except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your computer when troubleshooting.
Update to OS 10.4.11 either from Software Update and/or from Apple's Download site. Also, from SU, download all the other software listed that pertains to the various OS updates.
Repair permissions & restart your computer.
Make sure Firefox, IE, & Omniweb are updated to their latest versions. At the moment FF seems to be updating every week or so. Afterwards again repair permissions & restart your computer prior to using the browsers.
