Correct Web Browser - Switch to Safari

When I go to a web site (e.g., kayak.com), I get a message that states the browser I am using mgiht not work well and has links to Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. I am using the latest Safari on my Mac Pro so I don't understand why I am getting this message. The same thing happens when I go to check my mail of AOL. Any ideas?

Hello, it only happens on some. For example, if I go to www.aol.com and the log into my mail account, I get the basic version of AOL. And if I click on the Standard Version of AOL, I get a message that I am using an unsupported browser with links to the various supported browser sites. I also see a link that says I can take my changes with my existing browser if I feel lucky. Don't  understand it since I am using the latest Safari.
Also, I go the www.kayak.com, I get the message, "the web browser you are unsing might not work well" with links to five sites to include Apple's Safari site.
Thank you for you reply.

  • Odd web browser behavior

    after a decent amount of time using my web browser (have used safari, firefox, and camino all with same result) clicks on hyperlinks and bookmarks yield no response from the browser. usually there will be a second or so of activity in the status bar, then it will just say 'Done' without actually going to another page. has anyone else had a similar experience to this? because this is getting a little annoying for me. I've done several installs of the entire os from scratch, and like I mentioned earlier have tried different browsers, each with different version numbers.

    I've also had this problem, but only when using Firefox. After a while none of the links do anything when you click on them and I have to use 'Force Quit' to exit Firefox and then re-open it so that everything works again. Wish I knew what was causing this problem...

  • Question about private web browsing and Spotlight

    I was browsing personal webpages on a work computer using Safari's 'Private Web Browsing', but although Safari doesn't remember the pages, Spotlight does which is a little concerning!
    I have excluded webpages from Spotlight searches but that doesn't mean the pages have gone. I have tried clearing my history in Safari and Resetting it, to no avail. Can someone tell me how to delete the webpages from Spotlight?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Rapidness,
    I checked on my computer and do not have this issue. And I have no website located somewhere on my machine, after cleaning / or resetting the browser.
    In the "Safari" - Menu > below the "Private Surfing" > is "Safari Reset"
    Maybe you should try this...
    You can also use "Onyx" to reset the browser. See the link below:

  • Download Manager Not Opening In Web Browser

    Operating System:
    - OS X (10.4.8)
    Web Browser(s) Affected:
    - Safari v2.0.4 (419.3)
    - Mozilla Firefox v2.0
    Description of Problem:
    When attempting to download a file, the download manager fails to open and the file is instead sent to the browser as a URL.
    Example:
    When clicking on http://www.website.com/foobar.dmg instead of download manager opening and transferring the file to the local drive, it is instead opened in a new browser tab/window as a URL and is never downloaded.
    It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hi SoulGrind,
    It does not matter whether the file is dmg, tar, zip, etc. This happening in both my Safari and Firefox browsers (which makes me think it's something OS specific).
    Or possibly plug-in specific? Did you happen to install SpeedDownload at some point as this sounds like the symptom of a bad install.
    Try uninstalling SpeedDownload via the installer file over at http://www.yazsoft.com/sitepages/download.html - it has an uninstall option. To download it, you should be able to right click/control click on the file link to obtain the file.
    Good luck!

  • Changing Default Web Browser After Reboot

    Hello,
    I am using Webkit as my default browser and every time I reboot the machine, it keeps changing my default web browser back to Safari.
    I have used the settings in the preferences pane in Safari and applied the changes and after reboot it still occurs. I have read somewhere (I do not remember what website) that FileVault has something to do with resetting my saved settings. I do have FileVault enabled on my system.
    Thanks for your help,

  • HT1338 Web browser crash and freeze

    Every time I use the web browser no matter Safari or Mozilla Firefox, it always crash and stop responding that I have to force quit. This happens since the very first day that I've used this Macbook Pro. I've just bought it for less than 2 months. Some videos such as Mac basics on the Apple.com website can't be played. I've went to the iStudio and have it checked and they said they've done a reset and this might help, but when I came back home and start using the web browser, the same problem occurs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix this problem? Thank you

    Contact  Apple's Express Lane. Your machine has unlimited support for the first 90 days.

  • I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

    I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
    It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
    I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
    LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
    How can I fix this Plug-in?
    And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • SMART PRINT: How do I use SMART Print on Safari web browser please?

    I use a MAC with Safari web browser. How do I get Smart Print for Safari please. (I do not want to use BING). Is there any way of doing this?

    Hi Paulmozzi!
    Here it is the supported devices list: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/platforms/
    However, because of the large number of Android devices (phones and tablets), not all new devices could be tested yet, but the list will continue to be updated.
    I am not sure if I understand correctly your issue. When typing something in url bar, you will have at least 4 default search engines (Google, Wikipedia, Amazon, Twitter), so you can choose any of them. If you want to install more search engines, here it is a useful link for that: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html (open this link using Firefox Mobile on your tablet).
    If you still need more help, please let us know. Any more details regarding your issue will be very useful.

  • "safari web browser has stopped working" ... help?

    So a number of months ago (5, I believe) Safari Web Browser crashed and I tried opening it and a message popped up that said:
    +Microsoft Windows:+
    +Safari Web Browser has stopped working+
    +A problem caused the problem to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.+
    Now up until the crash, I was extremely satisfied with Safari and it was my default internet browser. After I kept seeing this message when trying to start Safari, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, then tried repairing it several times. It kept showing the same message for a while so I decided to give up for a few months, so I tried again and the same thing happened. Once again I gave up and today I tried again when I updated my iTunes and that same message popped up and Safari didn't work.
    So I decided to post here to see if someone can help me figure out and fix the problem since I prefer that browser to most and never had any problems with it until I froze it and it crashed that number of months ago.
    Thanks and your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Vista, but in XP the Safari preferences etc. are stored in this location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\
    If you know where the equivalent Vista location is, rename the Safari directory to be Safari_backup and then retry launching the application to see if one of the files in there is corrupt and causing Safari to crash.
    If it does work after doing that, try moving the files one by one back from the Safari_backup directory to the newly created Safari directory, restarting Safari each time, until you find the problematic one.

  • Is Safari The Best Web Browser?

    I Have been dissapointed lately with safari, its always seem to be slow & i have cable. the pages sometimes take forever or get errors, plus alot of video dont play. i was wondering if anyone has tried and can say that there are other browsers that are better. i was thinkin along the lines of firefox or netscape...
    What is the best, fastest web browser available for mac osx?
    thanks!

    Shiira is really fast, but it crashes from time to time.
    Currently I use Camino, but after installing Beta 2 yesterday I've had some strange hangups... so I might switch back to Opera pretty soon.

  • Safari billed as full web browser...but with no flash support!!!!!

    No flash support for web browsing makes Safari a pseudo browser. I have already run into many many sites that use flash that can't be displayed. But I am still happy...just want flash support.

    To : Trevor Smith
    First of all, can you try to confirm it's just a affected user profile or it's the fault for mac operating system? Try creating a new user account, then open Safari, go to the website. See what happens from there. If the new user is able to access the website correctly, then it's most probably the previous user account is affected.
    To try to resolve the affected account, you will need to locate the "com.apple.safari.plist & "org.mozilla.firefox.plist" files? It should be located somewhere in this folder ; user/Library/Preferences. Note : if the user account you are using is created as Trevor, then it's Trevor/Library/Preferences. Locate the files named "com.apple.Safari.plist" & "org.mozilla.firefox.plist". Delete and trash completely. Logout of the machine and re-login again. Open Safari, and try the affected website again. See if it resolves the issue now.
    Another thing to check, is your internet configuration. Make sure you are not bypassing any proxy server, as you do not need to do any bypass of the proxy servers.
    Keep me update, alright?
    Cheers

  • How to uninstall Flipora. It's a new web browser . Have a compatibility problem with Safari.

    After an invitation via email to install Flipora (a new web browser), eveytime I click eg a website link sent via an email, Flipora will automatically switch me to Google search engine. Prior installing i have no problem .
    Anyone have experienced this problem? How to uninstall?
    I have tested no problem if i open me gmail using Windown OS on the same Macbook. Suspect incompatible.

    You can remove it from Safari->Preferences->Extensions. We released our Safari Add-on very recently and we apologize for any kinks in it's behavior compared to our IE, FF and Chome add-ons. Please email us at [email protected] if you have more questions.

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.
