Get error "Safari can't find the Internet plug-in"

I get error when I tried to open a Potcast on IBM's website in Safari 5 for Windows 7
"Safari can't find the Internet plug in. Some content on the page "IBM Cloud Computing - idea - United States - United States' Can't be shown because its MIME type is unspecified.
I checked these settings
-Plug-ins enabled in edit\preferences\security
-Java enabled in edit\preferences\security
-JavaScript enabled in edit\preferences\security
-Quick Time Player 7.6.6 is installed and works
-Potcast works on Google and IE. Note: IE prompted for MIME type configuration, clicked Yes and Potcast worked.
I tried to search the web for answer but couldn't find solution for this error.
I checked Apple's forum and didn't find anything so Please help.
thanks

Is that the "Listen and learn about cloud computing and the IBM difference" podcast on this page, Concise?
http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/cloud_computing/ideas/index.html
If so, I can replicate the effect on my XP SP3 box (running Safari 5.0).
A bit odd, because it just looks to be a QuickTime plugin when I click on it in IE.
The W3C Markup validation service doesn't like the code on that page much:
[88 Errors, 69 warning(s)|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsmarter planet%2Fus%2Fen%2Fcloud_computing%2Fideas%2Findex.html&charset=%28detect+automa tically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]
... but it might be worth doing a "Help > report bugs to Apple" (in Safari) just in case the effect isn't related to the code.
(If anyone has suggestions for Concise on workarounds to get safari to play the podcast, please feel free to leap in.)

  • "Safari can't find the internet plug-in" I want to remove this warning

    Is there a way to get rid of this warning without having to install the required plugin?

    It's flash. I moved the plugin in the /library/internet plugins/ folder to a separate folder.
    I find flash ads annoying and I use a separate browser to view flash content, when I need to.
    I've tried other things. I've tried using the disable plug-ins option. I still want to use the other plugins. I don't want to use input-manager hacks such as saft and the like.
    The only other option is to use clicktoflash. Not the best option since I still get gradient boxes that say flash on them (I'd rather have empty space). But if I can't get rid of the pop-up warnings I'm going to be using this.

  • Safari can't find the Internet plug-in. (Flash Player)

    I am getting a constant annoying notification in Safari saying that Flash isnt installed. I have reinstalled it 3 times. I have even run the uninstaller and then reinstalled. I have restarted after each attempt. I have even dumped the safari plist. Flash is working fine in firefox. Why wont safari link up with the installed plugin?

    HI Brian,
    Try maintenance and see if that helps...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    If you have Safari 3rd party plugins or Input Managers, they may not be compatible with 10.6 or Flash. Go here for trouble shooting. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

  • Why do I keep getting a "Safari can't find the server" message? Why does the connection keep dropping out?

    When I open Safari and browse, I often get this message: "Safari can't find the server". I will then wait for at least 5 minutes, try the site again, and it will open, but then it just keeps happening on just about all websites now. These are very stable sites. I have had two technicians from my ISP try and fix the problem but with no success. I went to the Apple store, they told me to reset Safari - which I did - but that didn't work either. I am at my wit's end with this.Can someone please help?

    Check to see if the firewall is turned on.
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
    If the firewall was turned off, try this DNS server.
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Safari can't find the facebook server

    I apologise if this topic has already been dealt with but I cannot find an answer on this discussion board or the rest of the web.
    All I get is "safari can't find the facebook server"
    Every other website under the sun works on Safari except facebook. I've reset the cache and done everything else that has been suggested but nothing works. Why just facebook? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

    Similar problem, but the delay seems to be cause by any attempt to reach Facebook, even Facebook pages on another web page you are visiting, creates a pop-up redirect to WSearch.net, and then multiple pop-up windows for LivingSocial.com, asking you to choose your locale from a drop down list. This LivingSocial seems to be similar to Groupon.com, offering local deals.
    The same result occurs in Firefox in regards to Facebook, with the redirect to WSearch.net. If you have your settings blocking pop-ups, in either Safari or Firefox, the pop-ups do not occur, but it just seems like the page isn't loading because the redirect doesn't happen.
    There are many listings in Google Search related to this problem going back to 2008, but no one seems to have a solution. There are occasional references to a Trojan virus that does this, as well as some routers that create the redirect, in hotel wi-fi situations. I'm experiencing this problem while visiting my father at a hospital, using the hospital wi-fi, and did see it happen once at the hotel I'm staying at.

  • Safari can't find the server OVER and OVER and OVER

    I just purchased a 2013 Macbook Air last week. It is running the latest version (Mavericks). I planned to migrate from Google Chrome as my primary browser to Safari.
    However, approximately 1 in 8 websites I visit come back with the error "Safari can't find the server." These same websites show up fine in Chrome and other browsers.
    I have used past answers on here to try and fix things. So far I have:
    -Ensured the websites work in other browsers
    -Turned off any firewall
    -Turned off any extensions
    -Erased history and deleted cache
    -Restarted computer and Safari
    -Changed just about every Safari setting under preferences
    -Unchecked any proxies in Network settings
    -Reset my wi-fi router
    None of these things have fixed the problem or reduced the number of times the error message is displayed.
    I have no antivirus or mac cleaner crap on my computer, so that shouldn't be interferring.
    Also, these are not some strange foreign websites I'm trying to access; these are things like Tumblr, USPS.com, eBay, Audible, etc. Heck, even the discussions.apple.com has not been found once or twice. 
    Is this a normal thing for Safari to suck or have I missed something that might fix it? Because at the moment I'm going to go back to Chrome and pack Safari away.

    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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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 certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I frequently get the message that "safari can't find the server" or "you ate not connected to internet" when I definitely am.

    Why do I frequently get the messages that "Safari can't find the server" or "Your are not connected the the Internet" when I definitely am. This happens most frequently when I try to access the App. Store.

    I'd try the following document with that one, debra:

  • The Safari Can't Find The Server - Error!

    After updating my iPad and Mac OSX to the latest version, I am constantly getting 'The Safari Can't find the server' error on valid addresses. I have to refresh a few times to access the website.
    I have gone through many posts and I gathere that it is not a Mac issue, but something to do with network settings - DHCP/Proxy. But I still could not figure out how to solve the problem.
    If someone can guide/advise me then that would be a great help..
    Thanks

    I'm having similar issues with Safari saying it can not find the server.  Tumblr and Zooniverse sites are particularly troublesome, even with refreshing.  I have checked the status of their servers and they are up and running without issues.  I can access them eventually but have to close the current tab and reopen later.  However, when I use Chrome or Firefox I can access the sites with no problem.  It's not a local network problem as I can access the internet and those sites on my iPhone and all other sites.  It appears to be an issue with Safai.

  • Why do I keep getting the message, "Safari can't open the page because Safari can't find the server"?

    Why do I keep getting the message, "Safari can't open the page "www.blahblah.com" because Safari can't find the server" and you can replace the website with almost any I try to open. Any ideas or solutions?

    Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
    I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
    You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

  • Firefox/Safari can't find the server at...

    The last couple of weeks for some strange reason I have received this message: "Firefox/Safari can't find the server at..." about half the times I try to connect with the internet. There doesn't seen to be a particular type of site that this affects. Many of them are among my bookmarks. Always when I try again immediately I still can't get in. But half an hour later sometimes I can access the site without problems. I could understand it if these were high volume sites accessed at peak times, but this is not the case. My settings haven't changed and I haven't downloaded (as far as I know) any file that could cause this. I had a virus checker and it didn't find anything. Could anyone give me an idea what's going on??
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I was having this problem after updating to firefox 4.0. Error loading page and/or some pages wouldn't load completely. After trying everything I could find in Support, various other forums and talking with Apple Support with no success, I called my ISP. They rebooted my modem from there end and Voila! Firefox and Safari are working normally again.

  • I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

    i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
    okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
    i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

    can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.
