Getting used to it (Safari and browsing)

Hey
I bought Leopard about 1 week ago, and i am having some trouble with some key combinations i used to use in tiger and it seems to be that they are not working in Leopard anymore. In order to go from one window to the other i used to press cmd + "<" in safari, photoshop, and a lot of programs more.
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Hi
Are you referring to windows within Safari or changing applications?
Changing Applications:
Cmd + Tab seems to do it for me. What it does is bring up a "window" with the icons of the apps on it, subsequent presses of Tab key (I'm still holding down Cmd) move the highlight to the next icon. Whatever's highlighted is current when i release the keys. That help?
Have you tried just the Tab key?
Type shortcuts into Safari Help & see if anything useful in there.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

Hi .
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows if that's what you are asking > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
Microsoft has not written IE for Safari for many years.

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

sadie1 wrote:
Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.

Safari and browser support

Is there any plugin for safari, or other browser for Macs that will let me access pages that only support Windows IE, or am I looking for something that doesn't exist?
Thanks

Hi Louise,
You're on a bit of a wild-goose chase I fear. If the website was created with only Windows users in mind, then there's little that can be done to get around that.
Having said this, there are some sites which accidentlally block Safari and can be gotten around. Try enabling the Debug menu in Safari by typing this into a terminal window (Terminal.app in the Utilities folder):
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and then restarting Safari to pick up the change.
Under the new Debug menu item at the top of the screen, there should be an option to change the User Agent. Change this to be Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 then try the problem websites. This changing of the User Agent is only a temporary setting and will need to be reset the next time you launch Safari.
All this does is get Safari to identify itself to the website as Internet Explorer. If they are using IE only code, the page will still not work.

How can I stop from second window opening small in Safari and browser bar floating in and out like the dock?

Every so often I will click on a link in safari and it opens a second window. It opens it small. I can click the two diagonal arrow in the upper right hand corner and go to full view but then the browser bar at th top and all the Safari stuff like file, edit, view, history etc float up out of site. Much like the disappearing dock I can get it come back by going up by it. This is very frustrating. I have fixed it in the past but each time it is very difficult to find out how to do it. First why does this start happening? and if it does how can I get it to go back to the normal way? I will then bookmark the answer so I will be able to fix it quickly if it happens again.

I may not have called things the proper name. I am re-wording this now. Hopefully this makes it clearer.
Every so often,(3 times in 4 months), I will click on a web site and a new window will open much smaller than the standard window. I can enlarge the window by click the two arrows in the upper right hand corner but the menu bar disappears and reappears if you hover over it. I tried what some said above and when the window was small dragged it to the same size as the window under it, menu bars all visible. I closed that window and reopened it and it opened small again. I can go for several weeks and all additional windows open the correct size and with menus visible, then it goes into this mode. Everything running Lion 10.7.2 and Sarafi 5.1.1
I straightened it out one time or got it to stop doing that but don't remember how I did it. My husband fixed it the second time and he isn't around today. Anyone able to help?

All plugins uptodate but on upload file get "USING one of the supported browser with latest Adobe Flash is required to experience enhanced file upload features

I am freelancer. When I tried to upload files on elance it give following error and disable the upload button:using one of the supported browser with latest Adobe flash is required to experience enhanced file upload features.
All plugins are up to date. Flash version 11.7 installed.

I assume Firefox 19 worked fine on the site?
Some sites may be mistakenly identifying Firefox 20 as Firefox 2, which is a very old version they probably no longer support. As a test, you could "lie" to the site about your Firefox version and see whether that little deception works.
This take a minute to set up. Here's how:
(1) Select and copy the following preference name to the clipboard:
general.useragent.override.elance''.''com
(2) In a new tab or window, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(3) In the filter box, type '''override''' and pause while the list is filtered
(4) Make sure '''general.useragent.site_specific_overrides''' is set to its default value of true (or right-click and choose Reset if it is not).
(5) Right-click anywhere in the preference list area and choose
New > String
then paste the preference name you copied. Click OK and enter TEMP or asdf or any text as a temporary placeholder. You should see the preference added in bold. Leave about:config open and switch back to this tab.
(6) Select and copy the following useragent string to the clipboard ''(it's all one line)'':
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
(That's Firefox 19 on Windows 7 32-bit)
(7) In about:config, double-click '''general.useragent.override.elance''.''com''' and paste to replace the temporary text with the new useragent string. Click OK, you're done here.
Now try reloading a page where you need to upload (use Ctrl+Shift+r) and test that function again. Any change?

It is impossible to use 10.4, Safari and Windows Media Player

it is impossible to use safari to access a site with streaming video without having your mac freeze, i found the only combo i use to freeze everytime, first i install windows media 9, then i go to myspace.com using the safari browser, then i acess a page of someone who has a streaming video file such as a music file, then my safari locks up and freezes. This happens every, single, time. I know its not a fluke and i know i didnt do anything wrong and i enjoy myspace so there is no way that i can have media player and it ****** me off so i want to know if there are any alternatives or if my mac is just a piece of crap and messed up. without the media player i have to deal with a pop up everytime i access someones page telling me to download media player even though it doesnt work so thats kinda hilarious. k someone help me out

I know nothing about all this stuff but for kicks I went to the site you said and when I play a normal music file it works fine in safari. It does load slowley. When I tried to view a music video it says you have to have "windows media 9" and you must use "internet explorer". Have you tried using your internet explorer in your applications folder instead of safari? I still could not get the videos to work but I have had this problem befor. Sometimes if you keep messing with the settings in the network tab of the media player it eventually works. But the site itself looks like they have a little ways to go and just might not be ready for mac yet. If you don't get this fixed I can try the site on my pc at work tomorrow and see if that works, unless you have already tried this. But bottom line with safari is its not compatable. At least what their site states.

Safari and browsing eBay auction lists

I have a frustrating thing happen from time to time where I click a link to an ebay auction I get this response:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “(the webpage URL)”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message."
It happens a lot more than I'd like - for example when I've got a list of auctions for silver dollars and every other one I click gives me the above response. Some go through fine while others refuse to.
I've tested the same links with Firefox and they all work fine.
I really don't want to have to juggle browsers. Is there an easy answer (and solution) to this nagging little inconvenience?
Thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott,
Mac OS System Error Codes: -299 to -5553
You really should consider doing yourself a favour & use FireFox or Camino, maybe worth the juggling of browsers.
Imo ebay is so fickle about our Safari browser, they support is what they say to some ppl. when they are contacted, via email, yet their support pages say they don't, on some days.
They did change their site sometime last year, & the ebay & Safari questions don't stop, coming in  discussions, ebay is No fun for Safari users, esp. sellers.
btw, If you have Safari's Debug menu enable, it does make it easier to open an other browser with the "Open Page with", menu.
Kind Regards,

I was updating my apps from the App Store when the process quit unexpectedly. Now I can't open the update file nor will my safari launch. How do I get back on to safari and prevent the updates that did download from being installed?

I can't launch safari after downloading so updates. HELP!

Ashka, I have tried to "transfer purchases from device" but that is what I am saying that I do not see the app in the "mobile applications" directory after I do that process. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a way to get to the ipa file that is stored on the iPad such as a program that could browse the directories of the iPad of even an app that could do it so I can get and save the actual app in ipa format.

How can I get rid of (404) screen and browse the web

This morning I foundthat I was able to log on to mozilla, get my e mail, bring up the yahoo home page, but I could not browse the web. I am getting an error screen that says (404). I have never had this before and my tech support was unable to help me.

CHances are google maps are never coming back as part of the bundled OS. Apple and Google seem to have parted ways (possibly has something to do with Google having their apps on other devices from other manufacturers but no one knows for sure)
Since preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, the most you can do is ignore the icon, shove it back on a back menu page (I have a 4th menu page on my iPad containing nothing but the bundled apps I consider worthless. I just ignore that page and never go there) and then put a shortcut to google maps on your iPad or find a third party map app you like better.

Safari and browsing forums issues

This is a hard thing to describe, but here goes.
When I browse forums on the iPad (or iPhone) I will see a bunch of recent threads. I will find one interesting, click on it, and read. Then when I am done reading, I will press back to return to the list of threads. Now, all of the topics are a day or more old. Also, the thread I just read is no where to be found. It's like when I push back, it goes to a much older history than I'm asking for. Now the fix is simple, just refresh the page and I get the most recent threads. However, it is a little annoying and I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer Barney-15E. It turned out that Comcast had set a proxy when they last serviced my cable modem and it was routing everything through port 8100.
For the benefit of others who may have the same problem. If you find a Comcast Proxy in your proxy settings looking something like this:
Address: actsvr.comcastonline.com
Port 8100
You can delete it. Found this response on another forum and it seemed to do the trick:
"This is a simple fix. You have a proxy checked (Comcast is famous for this) in your Internet Explorer. Go to Tools->Internet Options. Then, click on "Connections" and then "LAN Settings". Under "Proxy Server", it likely has the box checked. Mine said:
Address: actsvr.comcastonline.com
Port 8100
This, for me, was a clear Comcast hack that they probably did when when they installed new service. Just uncheck the box and clear out the "Address" and "Port". Then, click on "Ok"."

Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari and Mail

I read in one discussion that if Safari is slow, you can go to Font Book and select the fonts with a bullet to get rid of duplicate fonts. I did that, and then decided to disable some japanese fonts I don't use.
Now Safari and Mail don't work. Mail won't open at all, and Safari launches but doesn't load and I get the spinning wheel.
I used Disk Utility to fix permissions, and that didn't solve the problem, and now my Disk Utility also says "Application Not Responding".
I also went back to Font Book and enabled all the fonts I disabled. Still nothing.
( I can use Netscape-so it's only Mac applications I guess)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Wow- i fixed it! I remembered that when I was in Font Book originally, there were some fonts disabled, and I enabled them.
I couldn't remember EXACTLY which ones, but I disabled some I thought were the ones, and VOILA!
Mail works, Safari works...what a relief!
And it only took me HOURS...oh well.
If this might help anyone, here are the fonts I disabled again-
BeteNoirA Regular
BoyzRGross
Chrome Yellow
Coventry Garden
FancyPants
HardlyWorthit
PleasinglyPlump
RaggMoppRegular
Anyone know if I should throw these fonts away? maybe a stupid question, but I'm not very good at this stuff and hesitate to change anything.
