Flash lags when Safari window is not active

Whenever I have a flash video playing in one window, and then the window loses focus (I select a different window to be active), the video lags. I understand this is probably a feature to conserve resources, however I find this really annoying. I was wondering if there was a way to make it so this doesn't happen.
Thanks

Nope, no way to change it I'm afraid.

  • My Safari Windows will not close

    My safari windows will not close. I can use the internet fine, but safari will not allow me to close or minimize the window. This is also stopping me from shutting down my computer without removing the battery. Should I take it in to get repaired, or is it a setting on my computer that got turned on? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thank you! - Kristen

    Hi Kristen,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Which version of OS X are you using?
    For possible relief, go to your Finder. There, navigate to your User Account's Library>Preferences Folder. You'll see a file com.apple.safari.plist. Move it to the desktop and restart Safari.
    Please let me know if that changes anything.

  • Windows 8 not active after factory reset

    I bought this laptop a year ago in US, with windows 8 and was upgradable to 8.1. I upgraded and was using 8.1, until 2 days before when system crashed. I was not able to perform a system restore, therefore did a factory reset. Now when the system boots or when i try to upgrade, its asking for an activation code which I dont have. I was in the assumption that the system restore version of windows should have a valid license key but its not the same in my case .
    please advise.
    Additional information: windows update are still working. not sure if this is helpful.
    Thanks in advance for responding.

    I understand that you have done a factory recovery and it is now asking for the activation code.
    The code is stored in the bios and  it should automatically pick it up .
    Here  is a link to Windows 8 Product Activation to assist you.
    Here is another link to assist you with reupgrading to Windows 8.1

  • Safari window will not maximize

    this just started and i do not know why. Whenever i try to maximize window in safari it actually minimizes window to the lower left hand corner

    Just drag it from the bottom r/h corner.
    Alternatively, Glims has an option for full screen Safari. It does other really useful thinbgs as well:
    If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
    http://www.machangout.com/
    which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! (Such as automatically deleting Flash cookies, enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
    (It adds items to Safari Preferences).
    Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
    http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
    Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

  • Flash lags when mouse movement

    flash lags if I mouse over it.
    FF 25.
    Newest flash version
    HW acceleration disable/enable makes no difference.
    No issues in IE or Chrome.

    I have this same problem, and have had for months. I am running the latest version of flash player and the latest version of Firefox.
    I created a video so you can see exactly what the problem is, notice when the mouse moves, there is constant dropped frames:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSozeOVgstg
    This occurs with hardware acceleration (in firefox settings) enabled or disabled. The only other browser I've tried is Chrome, and this lag does not occur in Chrome.
    Help?

  • Flash player for safari windows

    Hiya,
    Just wondering if there is anywhere where I can get flash for Safari Windows? I have looked on the Adobe website and there's nothing there. I like using safari but if theres no flash I may aswell go back to using IE.
    Kind regards

    I have Safari 3.0.4 on my Windows Vista machine and it cannot access Flash and Windows Media content on websites. I also have IE7 on Vista and it can access this content. Safari automatically tells me I need to download the appropriate plugins and directs me to the sites where I can do this.
    Before I try downloading this recommened version, how can one find out what type and version of Flash and other plugins are on my system? I am having trouble finding plugins on my system especially Flash.
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to turn off calendar notifications for ical and outlook when the program is not active?

    Hi - i'm finding these to be a little bit annoying, anyone know how to do this?  The Outlook ones bug me more than the iCal ones.  Also, i'm wondering if that is hurting battery life to have that running the background.

    I'd install Better Touch Tool (free). Add two gestures for Finder ONLY that have "No action" associated with them. This disbales pinch/zoom on the desktop AND in any Finder window, but not in any other application.
    If you'd like to occasionally use pinch to zoom in the Finder (to zoom into a photo thumbnail for example), then add two more gestures, again for Finder ONLY - but this time also selecting one of the modifier keys (e.g. "Option" key). For these gestures set as "Use Apple Default or do nothing".
    Together, this enables disabling of the zoom feature (to prevent accidental zooming of the desktop icons for example). But whenever you'd like to zoom into a document or photo etc in a Finder Window (which are also now disabled), you can now simply hold down "Option" key and the Pinch functions work again.
    This solution works for me on 10.6.8

  • Safari windows will not disappear after closing

    When I close windows under Safari, they will keep on staying in full screen but turn completely grey. The whole windows becomes grey and it won't disappear until i restart safari. i can switch between full screen windows and everything just as it would be a running program. This appeared since i upgrade from the beta to official release. Can't upload a pic for some reason on here.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Flash Player for Safari(Windows Version)

    I have Safari for Windows, but I don't see where to download
    Flash for it. Is there a version to download or is there not one in
    existence? If there is please respond so I can download it because
    for now there are a lot of things I can't run because I do not have
    Flash

    According to Adobe customer service they don't currently have
    a version and couldn't tell me if or when they would have
    one.

  • Corrupt, flashing graphics in Safari windows and unresponsive desktop

    The MBP I bought in June is essentially a lemon. Multiple crashes, failures, kernel panics, gray screen of death, etc. Per the warranty, first the RAM was replaced, then the logic board. I also did a OSX reinstall, and unfortunately that hasn't fixed the most common, ongoing problem, which I believe is relevant to Safari and possibly Adobe Flash. Would love some help/input! Here are the details.
    While using Safari, from time to time when I open a new window, all that window displays is random flashing blocks of graphic gibberish. It doesn't matter what website I'm trying to go to. That's unfortunately the best way to describe it. The window thus loses total functionality, and the only way to get rid of it is to quit and re-launch Safari. Also when this happens, other problems occur:
    1) Impossible to take a screenshot -- if I do, it produces a solid black image.
    2) I keep getting logged out of all Google accounts and activity.
    3) The desktop and folders lose functionality. I can't open folders, select icons, open documents, etc. Icons also disappear, with only their title text beneath them.
    4) Eventually Safari crashes.
    Things I have done to remedy this: reinstall the system, made sure all software is up to date (including Adobe Flash), hardware test, disk utility tests, cleared history/cache/cookies. I dread the idea of going back again to the Genius Bar, being told it's all my fault, having to ask them to take any corrective action, and then their stupid attempt to make me feel guilty for pursuing my warranty options (MBP covered by extended Apple Care).
    Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks -- this suggestion seems to have worked, I haven't had corruption or crashes since making that setting in Preferences. Hopefully they'll issue a patch to fix this in a future update. Many thanks again!

    Hi @lazirus ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Lag when dragging windows and scrolling, using ATI Proprietary drivers

    Ok, so I've installed Arch Linux on my Desktop PC, and on top of that I'm using Gnome as my GUI. Because I am addicted to Minecraft, I wanted to play it as soon as possible, but I got this error telling me to install my graphiccard drivers. And so I installed the "ATI Proprietary Driver".
    After rebooting my computer I noticed that when I drag windows around or scroll inside them, it lags, though I have no problems watching movies. And still Minecraft complains about graphic drivers!
    I'm not a pro at Linux so I would really like some help here, because I don't know what to do.
    :EDIT:
    Think I solved it! I just ran the installation one more time and now there's no lag? Hmm...

  • Windows 8 not activating after factory reset

    I recently did a factory reset to my Hp Envy 17. Once i went throgh all the steps and signed in to windows 8 I thought I was done since the product key to windows is embedded in the system BIOS. I noticed a little later that my computer was asking me to activate windows 8. So i went into my setting and typed in my windows 8 product key that came preinstalled on my Envy 17. Once I typed in the Product Key  I got a message that said "Activate Windows. The product key on this PC didn't work. You might need to contact the company that built this computer, or buy a new key." I have tried reinstlling windows 3 different times and tried typing in the product key on windows 8 and windows 8.1, both times the product key was not recognised, and i know i didnt type the key incorrectly or have the wrong i double chcked i had the right key by checking on belarc advisor. I have tried many ways to fix the problem and every time it does not work. It seems as though my key has maybe become corrupt some how. I also still have my hp warranty that came with my laptop if that helps at all.

    as far i can tell you and i have not yet restore a pc that is windows 8 yet  but previous versions which i  have had and  never was asked the activation nor it failed to update the pc because it was already activated and stored on microsoft end when you run your computer the first time and also even when i used the extra hard drive and it was window 8.1 iso disc that i got downloaded from microsoft legit-ly from microsoft site  and it appears microsoft recognized my pc because it was related to my email logging on with microsoft email but as  my extra older hard drive from an older defunct pc and when i was upgrading my older vista pc to windows 7 on my second  hard drive on my quad processor pc  it did ask for the product which i have bought from the store and there was no problem with my activation issues with microsoft    

  • When launched window does not appear yet program is running

    If I launch Firefox nothing appears on the screen. If I check the task manager, I see the program is running. I using Windows 7 and just upgraded to the most recent version of Firefox.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Windows 7 not activating after deployment

    I have 3 networks which are all deploying Windows 7. Two networks are using VMWare and the other one is using WDS. When the machines are deployed they state windows will try and activate in 3 days but it never does. I can get the machines to activate either
    by pressing activate now or running a command prompt at administrator level and using the slmgr /ato command. Is there any way of automating this?

    Hi,
    Are we using KMS to activate Windows 7 here?
    For configuring the KMS clients, please see:
    Configuring KMS Clients
    We may try to run slmgr.vbs /ckms to enable Auto-discovery the KMS hosts.
    More information, please check the above article.
