Bug in early Safari (1.3.2)

Greetings-
For some reason safari will no longer open gmail or selected other sites. Says it cannot load any information from this page, etc,etc..
2004 ibook G4 10.9.3
Many thanks to the various wizards in here...

You're saying this version of Safari is on it's way to obsolesence?
It is obsolete, since coding practices and web standards have progressed quite a bit since that time.
Any suggestions? What's involved in upgrading to 10.4 so I could run something a little newer?
I strongly suggest you invest in upgrading your Mac to 10.4 while you still can; and max out your RAM while you're at it, since you'll need all you can get. You can still buy a retail version of 10.4 from several sources: Mac OS X. Or, if you're really cheap (or frugal) you can also download the Camino 1.6.5 browser, which works on 10.3.9.

Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Fixing bugs in earlier versions

Hi
Could someone clarify what Adobe's policy is regarding fixing bugs in earlier versions than the current, in particular
Adobe have agreed there is a problem importing footage from Atomos Ninja regarding the audio channels, but they say it is fixed in CS5.5,
no mention of CS5
I have CS5, and wondered if Adobe stop fixing bugs in earlier versions once a new version is announced.
Yes i know I can upgrade, but at this stage I dont want to do that, i just want a bug fixed in software I have purchased
Regards
Chris Anderson

Chris,
I understand the problem you have, but please try to understand Adobe's position as well. They have limited resources and they have to fix bugs in the current version, test extensively whether they did not break anything in the process of fixing the bug, while at the same time they are busy developing a next version with new features, that users have requested, testing that extensively. At the same time there is a further complication in that all the programs in say the Master Collection must be ready at the same time for market introduction.
With all these complications and the limited resources, priorities have to be set. How critical is a bug, is there a workaround, how many are affected? Of course the currently sold version has a higher priority than a version no longer sold. It might even be an enticement for many to upgrade to the current version.

BUG REPORT: iPad Safari glitch and Fedex' website problem? HELP!!!!

Okay, I've discovered a weird bug and I don't know how to fix it, but you should definitely check this one out so you don't get the same problem...
I recommend you DON'T try following this on your iPad, otherwise you'll also experience the error, and I haven't found a way to fix it yet.
Process:
On iPad Mail I received a message from Apple's store detailing my iPad hard case has shipped via Fedex. I tapped the tracking link inside to view the tracking information. Fedex' site launches in the iPad Safari app, the URL directs me to the usual shipping status page, but then a dialog box pops up saying www.fedex.com "Framework Not Found!" with an "OK" prompt button.
Problem:
The button cannot be tapped. The modal dialog box therefore refuses to disappear allowing access to any other part of the Safari app. In effect, Safari is now useless.
I can launch different URLs from Mail and the page in the background updates, but none of the interfacial buttons, swiping with fingers or any other means of using Safari now works. What I need is a way to force-quit Safari.
Anyone?

Results of Google search on force quit ipad app:
"Apps are software, too, and sometimes software gets stuck (just ask anyone who’s used a computer for more than a month). To make a cranky app shut down without having to restart the whole iPad, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the red “power-off“ slider—but don’t slide this time. Instead, press and hold the Home button down until the app quits and you find yourself back on the Home screen. "

Fix for UI Rendering Bugs (status bar, safari, othe windows "over zoomed")?

Anyone else seen these visual bugs in the UI:
* In vertical mode only the clock is displayed in the status bar. The contents of the status bar are "zoomed in" so much that the signal strength icon on the left and the battery indicator on the right are off the screen and out of view. Neither have ever been displayed (in vertical orientation) since I got the phone two days ago. The characters are over-sized and fuzzy, even clipped across the top of the screen.
* When a dialog box comes up on top of the current application (e.g. prompt to join a WiFi network), only a fraction of the dialog fits on the screen. The UI of the dialog is zoomed in too far, the text is large and fuzzy. The application UI below (seen through the transparency of the dialog) appears okay.
* After a settings reset, Safari works okay for a few minutes, but eventually gets zoomed in so far that the URL field at the top and the button bar across the bottom are no longer visible.
* Switching back and forth from vertical to horizontal (e.g. in music or Safari) sometimes shows the full status bar as expected (signal indicator, time, battery) and sometimes shows only the time (zoomed and fuzzy). Sometimes no status bar is displayed at all (black).
I've tried...
* resetting settings
* resetting settings & removing all data
* full factory default/software restore
None of this helps. Any ideas? Is this a software bug, or is there potentially some hardware defect causing the software to act so whacky?
Thanks for any help/pointers.

Apple has confirmed that my phone has some defect and should be replaced. Thanks.

Fullscreen FLV bug on PC Safari 3.0.1 on up?

So for some bizarre reason the QA people at my office are
planning on halting the launch of a built video player - for the
.02 percent of the people that use Safari on the PC.
The issue is when in fullscreen, the scrub bar that i have
maintains it's length. So rather than having, say, a 25 pixel wide
scrub bar it just stretches as the video plays. Naturally this
becomes a problem since a user can't see where they are scrubbing.
I spent some time searching the web looking for answers
(including going through Adobe's forum, support, documentation,
etc) and so far there doesn't seem to be an answer. The funny thing
is that Safari on the PC isn't listed in the supported
browsers...but as anyone who's dealt with QA people knows, that
answer won't do.
The AS code for the scrub bar is standard:
function videoStatus() {
vPlayerHMC.vidPlayer.amountLoaded =
playFlvStream.bytesLoaded / playFlvStream.bytesTotal;
loader.loadbar._width = amountLoaded * 104.8;
loader.scrub._x = playFlvStream.time / duration * 104.8;
var scrubInterval;
loader.scrub.onPress = function() {
clearInterval(videoInterval);
scrubInterval = setInterval(scrubit,10);
this.startDrag(false,0,this._y,105,this._y);
loader.scrub.onRelease = loader.scrub.onReleaseOutside =
function() {
clearInterval(scrubInterval);
videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
this.stopDrag();
function scrubit() {
playFlvStream.seek(Math.floor((loader.scrub._x / 108) *
duration));
and has worked on all other browsers and versions that we are
supporting the fullscreen mode.
I found a post on PixelMonster describing a similar bug -
however it listed the bug for AS3 (we're using 2) and a change in
the SWFObject param (wmode = opaque)....however we can't use that
since the wmode is preset.
Anyone else having a problem with it...or know of any
possible solution?
Thanks!

i guess you can. are you using one of the skins that has a
fullscreen button?

Something that really bugs me about Safari...

I am a teacher and i connect my projector to my Macbook Pro most of the time. But i dont want to leave it turned on all the time, and i dont like a having a low resolution screen most of the time so i keep the windows split as an alternate monitor. That is, "not mirrored". It really annoys me that Safari always opens into the alternate window, the projector, when the projector is turned off. I have to turn the projector on just to find the Safari windows, or i have to switch to mirrored/low resolution to use it. As soon as switch to mirrored/low resolution i can grab the window, but as soon as i switch back to not mirrored Safari puts the windows into the alternate monitor.
There should be a preferences switch to control where it opens windows.

If this is a brand new computer, you often need to get a full cycle or two on the battery for it to "program" itself to properly read and display power levels.
A rash of recent reports of short battery charge life, overheating, and general sluggishness has been traced to Parallels emulation software for running Windows on the Mac. It usually shows up right after you update to Mac OS 10.6.8.
If you have Parallels installed, see this articles on how to fix the problem posted on the Parallels web site:
http://kb.parallels.com/en/111541
If you're not running Parallels and the problem persists after a couple more battery cycles, have Apple check it out.

"Decompression Bug" in Early 4.0 Versions

Just wanted to through something out there that we ran across.
In AsyncOS versions earlier then 4.0.6-12 there is an issue with inbound ZIP files containing many little files.
We noticed that if a ZIP file containing thousands of small files entered the Ironport it would "hang" the system for between 1 and 3 minutes. There would be NO response at all... command line would hang, web services would hang and most importantly not further SMTP traffic would be processed.
We did have the content filters processing within ZIP files for attachment extensions.
With 4.0.6-12 this problem was resolved. And the filter threads properly.
One way we noticed this problem is because we would get "anti-virus timeout" alerts. What would happen is a message would enter AV to be scanned, and then the system would hang on one of these zip files. By the time the system started again, it was past the max timelimit for the AV and it would kick the message out as unscannable.
I have to give Ironport credit. Once they agreed this was a serious issue, it was resoved within weeks.
Thanks,
Mike

8.1 Bugs - Multitasking Gestures & Safari

Installed 8.1 and multitasking gestures will cease to function at random. FIX: Control settings, turn them off and then back on again. But, note that in time, it will stop functions again, so repeat the process. Zero points for Apple here.
Safari is a browser gone wild. Video gets choppy now at times. No, it is not my connection. I had an older iPad running side by side on same video, same website. The ipad running 7.1 played the same video without a hitch. Also, when using the iPad keypad, weird things happen in safari. The keyboard will close for no reason whatsoever, it will type all caps when caps lock is not engaged, it will scroll the text area out of view so you cannot see what you are typing. Same website, same text box, different iPad running 7.1 functions properly. Zero points for Apple.
CONCLUSION: Seems like Apple hired a new Development Director who has dropped the ball and is leading Apple into a major losing streak. As the umpire (consumer) I call them as I see them. Apple, I think you need to hire a new manager before you become proud honorary recipients of a 1st place trophy on The Wall of Shame. Sorry, but when you start putting out technology that is glitchy and scratchy, then maybe you should consider the cartoon business.

I Have to use different browsers to do different things

TV Show the Office (Bug with early season download)

I've been being buying The Office TV Show video downloads but I noticed that the 1st few episodes of the second season I bought come up as Season 0 on my iPod and nothing under season in my iTunes Library, but if you look at the episode info if does show the correct season.
How can I get this fixed so I don't have Season 1, Season 0, and Season 2.

If you want to edit the metadata of a video I would recomend using Lostify.

Safari Frame Rows Bug (white block)

http://www.selfcrew.com/websitetest/album_dubberneck.html
I'm building a site that uses framesets (outdated I've heard). None the less, on load, Safari will sporadically add a giant white space between the top and bottom frames. The big white space will disappear if you resize the window (by dragging the bottom right corner). It won't happen every time which is especially weird, but if one refreshes the page again and again it happens at least 1 in 5 loads. This does not happen in any other browser, and I downloaded Safari 4.0.2 this morning.
I'd love to know if anyone knows a fix for this, either Java or just some html that I overlooked. I'd be happy to post the code by request. Thanks in advance!

You've got a bigger problem. See attached screenshot from Firefox when text size is increased in browser (Zoom, text only)
Start by using the code valiation tools below and fix reported errors. 90% of browser rendering problems are code related. If your code is clean, chances are good that your pages will perform reasonably well in all the major browsers.
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Conditional Comments are only recognized by MS Internet Explorer. You can't use CCs to target other browsers. But this is a moot point since your problem isn't caused by bugs in either Safari or Chrome.

Safari image appearance bug

Hi all,
There is a image rendering bug when viewing images in this site:
http://en.fotoalbum.eu/kodead/a595746/slideshow
Try to change the images backwards. It appear when smaller image is displayed first and then when you change to bigger one the bigger image borders are displaced. The bug disappear when you click next (or changing from bigger to smaller image) or when you move over some object (ex. notepad window) over the wrong displayed image.
I reported this bug in the safari, but there is no backlink or any number to track the issue, so I decided to write here - I want to check it regularly for solution.
Thanks!
PS and sory for my nickname. the system didn't accept shorter one several times

Safari with an iBook G4 (1.33Ghz)?

Hello Everyone, What is the best version of Safari to use with an iBook G4 (1.33Ghz)? Currently has 512mb RAM and upgrading to a total of 1.5. Many thanks in advance.

Pommeg I'm really sorry to hear all this. Of course like everybody on these forums I'm just another Mac user albeit some are more knowledgeable technically than others. I've been using Macs since the early nineties, never used a PC. My suggestion re WebKIt was because having seen on the Nordkril pages someone say it was the way to go with PPC, the webpage where it is sited contains comments up to December 2013. So I reckoned that it was still at least unofficially found good by some users, which is why I gave it a try and found it snappy myself. Regarding the Leopard I wouldn't have downloaded it with those caveats printed and would have warned you had I known they were there.
There's no official version of this Webkit as it stopped being run in 2009 with the demise of the Safari 4 to which it applied. The questions you are being asked would have been something you would have been able to take up with them when it was extant; the whole point of a WebKit was it was an ongoing try-out with dialogue between the ordinary users reporting back discovered bugs, and the Safari developers. It was a stage towards the provision of a more uptodate browser. My only decision to try it out was because looking for the best browser for these old iBooks has been a recurring problem the older they get. I surmised that if this webkit was being recently still recommended by some, perhaps it therefore had reached a stage of useability when last updated that meant it could still be worth using in our circumstances now. But when things go wrong as is happening with your Leopard, there's nothing I could suggest other than try a software update.
In truth as K Shaffer has indicated maybe it's TenFourFox is the best current browser for us, but as I have mentioned I couldn't get the Flash workaround to work in it; and on a personal quirky note I just don't like Firefox and its variants. A personal thing to do with that there's no toggle key shortcut for hiding the navigation toolbar, and that has always irritated me. Browser use is subjective.
I'd go with iCab, that way you could use the Flash workaround and be certain of the browser being kept securely updated. There is the matter of $20 though (which gives you a registration number you can use again whenever you put iCab on another machine) but you can try it out as has been suggested, free; there's a kind of see-through advert hovers on and off occasionally to remind you to pay if you want to use it properly.
Again my apologies for what of your hassle is down to my advice.
