  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

  • Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

    I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
    I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
    I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
    This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
    Any suggestions?

  • IWeb audio won't play in Safari, but will in firefox

    I made a website in iWeb '09 but when i visit the site in safari 4 a quicktime logo shows up where the audio (song) should be and doesn't play. But in firefox it works fine, anyone know what's up?

    I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it.  Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro.  I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer.  I then imported them into Premiere CS6.  The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound.  The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player.  I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail.  Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
    I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed.  When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have.  Being a newbie, I just went with that.  But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice.  It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project.  Then the audio worked!
    One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware.  I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
    I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

  • [MAC OS 10.5.x, Intel] Flash 10 doesnt work on safari, but works on firefox

    My mac:
    10.5.8
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mem: 4GB 1067 MHx DDR3
    Safari Version: 5.05
    Firefox Version: 3.5.3
    I was suddenly not being able to watch videos on youtube because of youtube's new update that requires one person like myself to update. So, I follow the instructions and uninstalled flash player then then installed the newest version of flash onto my macintosh. I booted up Safari, and went to youtube, still said i needed flash player 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player at least 10 times. I even tried reinstalling safari, still nothing.  I tried using it on firefox and it works!
    Ways i have tried to fix this:
    1. Check if plug-ins were enabled on Safari security prefrences, it was already checked.
    2. Tried "un-checking" run with rosetta, couldn't even check it, was already unchecked
    Please help,
    Thanks, Surf

    For more (not good) news on this video card & Mac model combination, see http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/9600mac_pcedition.html.
    I suspect that any video card that shipped as an OEM product with any Mac model that meets the Leopard system requirements (& is supported by the Quicksilver) will work. This is because the Leopard DVD will have the necessary video driver extensions for those cards, but not necessarily ones that support other cards. Searching through my /System/Library/Extensions folder indicates that the following types of OEM ATI Radeon cards should be supported, but there are no guarantees:
    ATI Radeon 8500
    ATI Radeon 9700
    ATI Radeon X1000
    ATI Radeon X2000
    There are also a number of driver names associated with various nVidia GeForce cards, the other supplier of OEM video cards for Apple.
    The "Catch 22" about this is that if there was a Leopard compatible driver extension for the 9600 available (which there does not seem to be), you could install one of the above cards, do the upgrade to Leopard, & add it to /System/Library/Extensions folder of your startup drive afterwards. Then, the Mac could boot from that startup disk with just that card installed ... but the Leopard DVD disk still wouldn't work for repairs that require booting from it.

  • IFrame with code for video doesn't load in iWeb but works in Safari?

    I've got a strange problem... I have encoded several videos using H.264 as .mov files and then import them into a flash file. Flash 10 plays these files just fine. However, when I put this on an iWeb page using an iFrame the video never loads. If I go ahead and publish the pages I can open the pages with Safari and see the videos just fine. Why won't iWeb loads these videos so I at least see a preview of the first frame? Instead, the Flash skin progress bar just keeps running and never stops. The path is valid obviously since the actual pages work when viewed with Safari.
    Here is the code I'm using in the HTML snippet:
    <IFRAME SRC = "http://xxxxxxx.xxxx.net/FLASH/PL2009/PL2009.html" WIDTH="320px" HEIGHT="280px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>

    Wouldn't that lose the skin etc?
    One interesting thing I just tried is that I renamed the H.264.mov file so it had a .flv extension. I then went to Flash CS4 and opened the Flash document and re-linked to the .flv file and then re-published it. I then FTP'd all of the published files to my host and then went to iWeb. I clicked on the existing container and then clicked "Apply". Low and behold the movie loaded just fine!
    So, I'm left to assume that iWeb cannot load H.264.mov files via an iFRAME unless you change the extension. Like I said, everything actually worked on the web site it's just that iWeb didn't load the video and it was annoying to see the buffer bar in a continuos update mode.
    So what are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

  • Video will not play in IE but works in other browsers

    I have a flv video on a page which was placed there using Dreamweaver CS4.  It plays in all other browsers I test it in except IE7. (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) Others verify it dooesn't play in IE7 also.  Doesn't even play when I test in 'preview in browser' while in DW. Page passes validation. Can't for the life of me see why. Any ideas.
    http://www.princetonmarketing.net/new/pmg-production.html

    You've got all these references to scripts but I'm  certain you don't need them all.  Is this an older page created in an earlier version of  DW?
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    Try commenting out  the JavaScripts running on your page and then systematically re-introduce 1 at a time to see where the culprit is.

  • My podcast doesn't open on Safari, but does on Firefox...

    Hi.
    Sorry if this is explained somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.
    I'm building a personal website hosted on .Mac, in which i've include a podcast. The podcast was made on Garage Band, and exported to iWeb. I then upload the files to .Mac. Until here all right. But then when opening the site with Safari, I can't see the QuickTime file which was supposed to show here.
    I've uploaded all my files again and again, because I thought this was because of some wrong upload. Minutes ago, I've tryed on Firefox and it opened at first attempt.
    What can this be? Please help...
    Thanks a lot.

    It's a "bug" in one of the parts (Safari, QuickTime plug-in) that now gives you the QuickTime icon and the question mark. I don't know the reason but here is a simple temporary "fix".
    Use the Finder to duplicate your blah.m4a file (keep the original).
    Use the Finder to rename the file extension from .m4a to .m4v (keep the file name however).
    Use iWeb to edit the original page by dropping in this new file and "Publish" the page again.
    The .m4a format is MPEG-4 Audio and your "enhanced" Podcast actually includes a "video" track (maybe just a still image and chapter tracks) that really should use the .m4v file extension.

  • Why won't my SWF file attached to html play in Safari but work fine in Firefox?

    I've tested the files in dreamweaver, on all browsers, and they work fine. But when I uploaded them to my site they only work in Firefox. The crazy thing is when I check the file in file management they work just not from the main site. What am I missing?

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010. I had been burning Sony DVD+R's without any problem.
    Then I ran out of blanks and bought a cake of Sony DVD-R's. Put one into the drive and the
    macbook spit it out. Launched Toast then inserted the blank again and Toast says "You can't write
    to this disk". Quit Toast and out comes the blank.
    The system info for the DVD drive says it can read/write -R, -R DL. +R, +R DL, etc. Anything.
    I don't know what the problem is, but it is not a failing or dirty drive. I don't think it is a problem with
    the blank DVDs either. It is probably a compatibility problem between MacBook Pros and
    Snow Leopard/Leopard and -R DVDs.

  • Google won't work in Safari but works in FireFox?!

    For the past couple of days, after doing a few searches in the Google search bar, it suddenly stops working and I get the following error message instead of Google:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.google.com”.
    If I type in www.google.com in the address bar, I get the same thing.
    I'm able to search Google in Firefox and visit the site no problem.
    This is VERY strange. Any idea what it could be? I reset Safair (emptied cache, cookies, etc) and doesn't fix it.

    Can you take your Mac somewhere else (next door neighbour using a different ISP, or to work or something) and use the internet connection there, and do you get a different/better result there?
    It sounds like you've checked all the "obvious things", and are still getting sites not found or really slow to resolve (that is when the blue progress bar in Safari stops about where the first w in www in the address bar is before the page starts to appear).
    If so, something you could try fairly quickly and which has brought relief to rather a lot of people with similar-sounding issues, is you could try changing the DNS server settings on your Mac to use a different provider. NB: I'm not sure what it is that makes the difference, but something seems to have been changed in OS X which makes the Mac work badly with some ISP's DNS services, even when a PC (or a Mac running an older OS X version) is still working just fine on the same network and using the same DNS. I use the DNS servers from www.opendns.com, which are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, but people have had good success with other providers too, I just can't remember the names or addresses offhand. Try specifying those in the network configuration on your Mac itself, or on your router if you want to change it for all machines on your network, and see if it suddenly fixes those issues for you.

  • Vids won't run with Safari, but work with FireFox just fine

    I can't get vids to run with Safari. Where the vid is supposed to be, on YouTube etc, it's just blank. They run fine with FireFox, though. I don't mind using FireFox, its a great browser. I just don't like the idea of something being wrong with my MacBook.

    Make sure your plug-ins are enabled in Safari (preferences) and that you're not using Rosetta mode (Get Info window).

  • Video doesn't play while audio does during playback

    I use FCE 1.0.1 and since I upgraded to Leopard I have had a little problem. When I put the video setting in Fire-Wire, it plays fine with audio playing through my camcorder. But when I put the video setting in Real Time to play the audio through my speakers, the video doesn't play while the audio is playing fine. After 5 or 6 seconds, the audio stops playing too.
    My G5 is a single 1.8 GHz processor and I am running 10.5.1
    Anything?

    I appreciate your insight with this. If I could ask one more set of questions; Would you recommend the "upgrade" linked below or the Full version? And what will be the practical differences for me the user?
    I have started a new project in version 1.0.1 (capturing and a few edits, etc) since upgrading to Leopard. Will all of my work be there with either upgrade or full version after install?

  • Video does not play in safari with QT7.3 update

    just as last time quicktime was updated, this version does the same thing. after updating to QT7.3 videos no longer play in safari. i went to the apple trailers site, i get the sound but no video. last time the solution i found was to remove the quicktime plugin from the plugin folder in the library folder. i did that same thing this time, and it still does not work.
    any help on this one? using a powerbook g-3 pismo, with os 10.4
    thanks

    Hi tfu47 and welcome to the forums!
    No such problems here - which I know doesn't help you!
    Did you close all applications before installing the update? Did you restart as instructed? Did you repair permissions?
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

    I cannot play video on safari but works fine on google chrome?  What do i need to do to fix it?

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
