Google Streetview not working in Safari 5.0.1

Has anyone else had problems with Google Streetview since upgrading to Safari 5.0.1? It's ridiculously slow and I end up spending ages just staring at that little multicoloured spinny thing. I used to be able to 'walk' around the streets, now it takes entire minutes just for one screen to load. I tried it in Firefox and it works fine (but I don't like or want to use Firefox!).

I can use Google street view on v10.5.8 Safari 5 also.
If you want to revert to Safari 4.0.5, go here for instructions.

You may have inadvertently "cleaned" out necessary system files.
How are you doing this cleaning?

Google Images not working in Safari on Iphone

Since a while back the "images"-tab in google does'nt work on the iPhone in any of the browsers I've tried. I've searched the net to find others with the same problem but with little luck. Here's a description of the problem.
For example I search for "dog" in google in the Safari browser, this works just fine.
Then I press the "images"-tab and get a thumbnail view with pictures of dogs, of course.
But this is where it all goes wrong, when touching one of the images I get an enlarged view of an image next to it. The "back to the results" and "full image" buttons dim out (without being touchable) and swiping does not work. I don't know what has caused this to stop working properly, I know its not the new iOS version though.
HERE is a youtube video I prepared that explains the problem.
First, is there anyone else out there with this problem?
Second, this is what I've tried:
- Other iPhone web browser applications, for example "Mercury", "Opera Mini", "Skyfire" and none of them works except "Dolphin" (good work).
- Resetting any of the settings in the phone, clearing cache and such have no effect.
- Resetting the iPhone totally, factory settings. No effect.
- Using someone elses iPhone. I've tried on an iPhone 4 and iPhone 3S, same problems (with iOS 5.01).
- Trying out all of the settings in google, no change.
- Setting the google view to "classic" instead of "mobile" works of course, but that makes the site look just like on a PC or Mac and is not what I'm after.
Third, this problem seems to just affect Swedish users from what I can tell. There would be thousands of posts about this if everyone in the world was affected by it, but so far I've seen no posts on this matter. But after searching a while I found a swedish forum site on the subject. Link (in swedish). Also, when visiting google from Sweden some form of script automatically changes the url from .com to .se. I don't know if this has something to do with it?
Anyone know what causes this problem and how It might be resolved?
Best Regard
Stefan, Sweden

Hi Stefan,
First; this must be the most thorough error discription I have ever seen. Impressive.
Second; yep for a couple of weeks now I've been having exactly the same problems as you describe. One other thing that I've noticed, is that for me, the 'word suggestion drop down list' or whatever it's name is, no longer works. More specificly:
I open Safari in my iPhone, surf to Google image search and type for example "dog" in the search field. Below the field, I now get a list of suggested words or phrases that I think is based on the most popular searches. For me, the first suggestion in this list is "dogo argentino" (a specific and popular breed of dogs). When I tap on the words "dogo argentino", the search field normally would switch input from "dog" to "dogo argentino" AND starts the image search automatically. However, since the problem showed up, when I tap on "dogo argentino" the input field is not affected (still reads "dog") and I would have to type "dogo argentino" manually and hit "search".
I use a Swedish iPhone 4S (5.0.1 (9A406)) in the Telenor network. I also have tested the same possible solutions that you describe in your post, but with no luck.
All the best,
Ingo

Google calendar not working with Safari 5.1.4

I am unable to access my calendars on the Google site, getting the message "We're sorry. Google Calendar is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few minutes." Calendars embedded into my website are also not viewable in Safari.
Problem seems to be limited to the desktop version of Safari, as Google calendars continue to work fine in Safari iOS 5.1 and in both Firefox and Chrome.

Go into your Applications folder, right click Safari and click "Get Info". Make sure "Run in 32-bit mode" is unchecked.

Google maps not working in Safari

Grey space instead of map - Google MAps works fine on Firefox so what is it in safari that is causing the problem.

Hello:
FWIW, Google maps work just fine here (using Safari - everything up to date).
I would try a couple of troubleshooting steps...
1. Clear the safari cache
2. Trash the preference file (com.apple.safai.plist) and restart.

Final update: on my iPad, I deleted my iCloud account. I then rebooted my iPad. Then I logged back into iCloud.
Voila!! It worked!
Don't know why I didn't think to do that before. <slaps forehead>
If we could think of every possible scenario and fix on our own, there would be no need for a support forum.
I had a minor panic a few days ago, when my lock sounds were no longer working on my iPad. I knew that I had not changed anything at all in the settings. I rebooted my iPad twice, I played around with the volume, I checked system sounds... I was stumped. I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Even though I knew that I hadn't changed anything in the settings, I decided to finally go back and check anyway. Sure enough, I had Lock Sounds turned off in the Sound Settings. I have no clue how it happened, but it was turned off.
I had my own "slaps forehead" that morning and thought to myself, why didn't I just check that to begin with?
I am happy to hear that you got the situation resolved.

Google Voice not working in Safari

Recently I have constantly been getting this page while trying to access GV in Safari (http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32050&hl=en&ctx=ch_C heckCookie&p=grandcentral). I follow the instructions and the problem remain. I quit Safari and can access Google Voice temporarily until the next time it acts up.
Anyone know why this is happening and if you also have been having this problem?
Thanks,
John

HI John,
So you've tried emptying the Safari cache cleared cookies???
According to that link they are referring to *an older version of Safari (3).*
Go back to that page, scroll down and click No. You can at least provide feedback.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, try opening Safari in 32-bit mode.
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.
Relaunch Safari. See if that makes a difference.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.
See comparison photo:

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

HT4995 My location service on Google does not work and nothing is getting saved in my history bookmark

My location service on Google does not work. It will not bring up my location. Also nothing is getting saved in my history folder in my bookmark.

I have the same issue, I think. If I open Safari and search Walmart (google is my default search) it doesn't give me location results, and there is a little button at the top that says 'Use Precise Location.' If I tap that button nothing happens. Very frustrating. I've checked all my settings against my wife's iPhone, and my iPad, both of which work, and I can't find anything different.

If you look at the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. It appears you are not the only two having this problem.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

Work fine for me - they are just normal Flash videos.
Make sure your Flash Player is up to date.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4. Minimal example code.

Hello,
I've found that cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4, as it worked
ok on Safari 3.0.1, and in other browsers I tried: Firefox, Mozilla, IE.
document.domain property is set to "ds2ps.net", correctly to the best of my knowledge
in the frameset and in both frames. Both frames and frameset are loaded
from subdomains of the same domain "ds2ps.net"
Please have a look at this mimimal example:
http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html
Press buttons to get alert with value of a variable defined in the frameset
and in the first frame.
This gives "undefined" in Safari 3.0.4, and give following message in Safari
JavaScript console:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html from frame with URL http://frame2.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frame2.html. Domains, protocols and ports must match.
Works ok in all other browsers and in earlier versions of Safari.
Apperently, I'm doing something incorrectly.
I would appreciate if Apple Safari developers have a look at this problem and suggest solution.
My company is developing web application which depends on cross-frame scripting,
and we would like to continue supporting Safari browser.
Thank you,
John

Thank you, iBod,
