Erratic post counts in Safari

I have noticed that Safari on Leopard and also Tiger 10.4.11 has the following problem on three of my machines. Sometimes it will display a count of posts in the feeds bar when all the feeds have been read. On occasion it will also display a count of mail in my Gmail inbox even when I have read it all.
Here's a screenshot of an example:

Re-starting Safari seems to fix this, but it is often slow at updating feeds and the problem can return at any time. Has anyone else seen this?

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Posting count

I lost nearly 500 previous postings and my posting count did start at 0 two months ago.
Is this a problem only of my account, or had all discussion members to restart at 0?
Thanks!!

But it did work for years, didn't it? There are thousands of Mac forums able to count the posts. If at Apple Discussions they are not able to show the post count, they should simply omit it!"
A large number of problems this time around are caused by the fact that Apple has switched forum software from Web Crossing to Jive. The Jive forum software has a slightly different feature set and some of the features common with Web Crossing are implemented differently. While Web Crossing easily allowed posting cumulative post counts, Jive is set up to display online post counts, so the developers either have to construct a work-around or they have to wait for Jive to add the ability to display cumulative counts.
Custom avatars is another feature that supported by Web Crossing but not by Jive, although Jive has said they expect custom avatars to be added in an upcoming update or upgrade.
While switching to Jive will be beneficial in the long run, the switch has caused short-term problems, and the developers are working on them. Although the new forum was tested before launch, including some users, there was no way they could test it under full load. When the new forum did go live under full load, there were some serious performance issues and these were the issues that the developers concentrated on.
Finally, omitting post counts has been suggested in the past (as well as not displaying or even getting rid of levels), even when the cumulative counts were given and I know of forums that have stopped displaying counts, including some that could display the actual totals.

Post Count not Displaying Correctly

My post count was somewhere over 2000+ posts before the forum change and now it's 1/10th of that at 289... another poster, I see, has over 200,000 which seems rather skewed. If the web developers who did the change can verify the post counts with a simple query of the actual records based off my user account then they'll see the actual record count doesn't match the number showing up for me under a post.

Um... Yeah, thanks for the reassurance Mr. Smarty Pants. I guess I was not clear enough for the non-technical minded among us... Using my own account as an example I was trying to point out that there's still a bug with the way the new forums query the data from the database and it's an easy test to run a query based on the number of actual records that come up for my user account... the physical record count should be 2000+ and not 280.
As well, it's very difficult with this current forum format to tell that I'm not logged into it... I was showing as logged into the general Adobe site as indicated at the very top-left of the site by the 'Welcome Chunick', but apparently I wasn't logged into the forum section which was indicated by a Login/Register line of text just below the black Forums header that was in a light blue which was not only hard to catch, but also not indicative that I need to login to the Forums separately which is new with the new forums. Now it seems pretty clear since I worked it out, but it was a bit confusing at first, to be sure.

Pls Help !!

Sridhar

Hi Divya,
Thanks for your post.
Try to get fields count in collection using below code snippet:
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
FieldDefinitionCollection fields = workitemstore.FieldDefinitions;
// get fields count in this collection
Console.WriteLine(fields.Count);
//get each field name
foreach(FieldDefinition
field in fields)
Console.WriteLine(field.Name);

My post counts is wrong

Now that the Forums speed problem is solved for me, I'll ask a question I meant to ask since we changed to the Jive Forums.
My post count was reset to zero when we switched to Jive" Clearspace. Is there a way for the Admins of these Forums to "recover" my real post count since 2002?
I remember, I changed my screen name at that time to ReneG, would it have cause that?

Yes, I remember that too. And I did it (whatever it was); and I remember at the same time I did that thing, I changed my screen name.
I can see if I had changed my email address, I would probably loose the old counts, but I didn't change it.

Post Count Back - Points Next?

Post Counts, and also Reply Numbers are back. I wonder if "Points" will make an appearance, or if they are gone, along with "Salamis?"
Just curious,
Hunt

I don't really agree with Claudio (Claudio please don't get offended )
I think points mean quite a bit on the other hand the fact that somebody ask some question one time ago is not that relevant.
Of course combining the date and number of posts does have some meaning but one does see some people (not myself ) who have quite a posts any never answer any body.
I think the points give a competitive element to the forum and encourage people to participate and answer
IN SHORT
A combination of
1) Posts
2) Points
3) Date joined
should keep most people happy
Stars are in my opinion left best in the sky but also wouldn't do any harm as long as there not in place of the 3 above.

Can't post photos with Safari

Hello,
Suddenly I could no longer post photos with Safari 3.x. Here's the error message...
Safari can’t open the page “http://upload.facebook.com/photos_upload.php”. The error is: “POSIX error: Invalid argument” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:22)
I have installed Safari 4 beta but get the same message. There must be some corrupted file somewhere... Any ideas? Thanks.

Hope this helps.

Curious change in post count...

For the longest time, my "Total Posts" was exactly one number higher than my "Total Posts Online". I understand why this is and that is not what I am asking.
Today, I looked and my "Total Posts" and "Total Posts Online" are dead even.
Did an old post get bumped back into the system somehow?

Hi Phil,
After the last change to new forum software, there was an offset in post count that could be significant to people who had a lot of posts under the previous version. I think my offset was about 230 posts more than I really made. In the last couple of months, they seem to have corrected this as my current post count is more in line with reality. It's possible that, in the process, some newer accounts saw a little correction too.

How can I setup an iCloud email counter in Safari?

Would anyone know if there is a way to set up an iCloud email counter in the Safari toolbar so that one can see a notification if an email arrives to my iCloud email account?
Or would you know if it is possible to add to iGoogle internet portal a "gadget" which would perform the same function. I am using such a gadget for my Hotmail and gmail accounts.

Hi Clay
Thank you for the response, It is appreciated. My Apple Mac OS is Lion 10.7.4. Am concerned upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8 as some perhaps some (or perhaps many?) of the applications I use on daily basis may not be ready yet? Should I not wait 3 or 4 months? When I upgraded to Lion I had issues with three if not four of the applications which were trying to catch up (Sonos, VLC etc.).
I will certainly look for Growl. Thanks again for the good support.

[iPhone] How to POST url in safari

Hi!
I want my app to open url in Safari and to login.
I know how to just open URL:
UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[app openURL:[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://www.somedomain.net"]];
But there is a login form on that site. Here is it's code:
<form action="http://www.somedomain.net/login.php" method="post">
<td width="68%"><input name="username" class="formlogin" size="23" type="text" /></td>
<td width="10%"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password:</td>
<td><input name="pass" class="formlogin" size="23" type="password" /></td>
it looks like I have to POST params to http://www.somedomain.net/login.php
Well, I know how to POST
NSString *myRequestString = @"username=sampleuser&pass=samplepass";
NSData *myRequestData = [NSData dataWithBytes: [ myRequestString UTF8String ] length: [ myRequestString length ] ];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://somedomain.net/login.php" ]];
[ request setHTTPMethod: @"POST" ];
[ request setHTTPBody: myRequestData ];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]
initWithRequest:request
delegate:self];
[connection release];
[request release];
But how to combine it all together? Just POSTing and calling openURL does not work. Is it possible at all? openURL opens safari and GETs? What if a site could log me in on GET request with username and pass as params, would openURL work then?

No, you cannot specify a request method in a URL.

Viewing POST data in Safari web inspector

Is this the place to ask questions about the web inspector? Ive had a look around but can't find a developer forum..
Anyhow, the Firebug extension for Firefox usefully shows the POST data (and other parameters) when I'm debugging my scripts.. (see image) - Its shows me all the info I need - headers, post, response and html
Where can I see this information in webkit's web inspector?
Thanks

I can't believe this passed QA. It can't be intentional. The absense of the ability to view POST traffic renders the whole network utility next to useless. I've had to resolve to using Chrome for my POST peaking needs. This needs to be voiced, people. Please let Apple know what you think about this amputation stunt: http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

Posting problem using safari or firefox with IMAC

Can anybody help with the following issue. I can access the labs.macromedia website, I can access the Light room posting board. But signing in using safari or firefox on a imac is troublesome and takes several minutes and is half of the time unsuccesful. When trying to post, the signing in screen shows up and asks for e-mail address and password, no problem after pressing the button "continue" the system hangs for so long that safari reports a time out. I have no problems with other websites on the same imac machine I have tried this whole routine on a windows machines from the same location and internet connection set up and no problems at all. A report from another safari user shows also no problem at all. I assume that it is a combination of safari/firefox, this website and my machine settings. Probably I have to change something on the settings for safari or firefox or Imac, but I don't know what. Is there any experience with same problems and a solution out there?
Regards
Iemke

Got to be honest and say this is really, really frustrating!
Am I the only person who cannot view trailers at Apple's website, even with their browser?
Cheers, MP
