Hover no longer works in Safari

The hover function no longer works correctly in my Safari although it works fine in Firefox. If I position my cursor over a link and move it slightly, underlining flickers on and off and the cursor switches back and forth between a hand and arrow, although the link still works. If I don't move the cursor, the hover image disappears completely. It happens on all the websites I normally go to. This is really a pain with sites that use pulldown hover menus and photo sites that use hover to display larger versions of thumbnails. Update says all my software is up to date. I'm using 10.4.8 and Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3). I'm not loading any stylesheets via preferences. Any ideas?

Another data point: this problem doesn't occur on any of the links on my gmail page.
(it does happen on this forum page)

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you.

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you. I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard. The newest ones only work with Lion. My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari. This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site. Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me. I do not know what to do....

Hi Sue,
What exactly happens when trying Safari?
They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

Spell check no longer works in Safari after iOS5 update

After updating to iOS5 on my iPad2 yesterday, the spell check feature no longer works in Safari when using the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It works in all the other applications I've tried, such as Pages and Mail. It's a real bummer, especially if writing a blog. Any help or suggestions? Spell check worked fine before the update. (Spell check still works in Safari with the on-screen keyboard, just not with the Apple Wireless Keyboard - Safari seems to be the only application effected so far) Thank you.

Update: After rebooting my macbook - Moves now playing. TV shows bought using a different apple ID account still does not work even though they did before.

Google Application Links No Longer Work in Safari

Hello,
It seems something is up. Google application and profile links no longer work in Safari 7.0. I downloaded Chrome for OS X and they work perfectly fine in that. So is it Google trying to gain more share of the browser market by modifying there code or is it a Safari update that recently broke the functionality? All I know is I have had to download a different browser to get my google mail working.
If you want to test, go to your gmail and try to click the google applications icon near the top right. Nothing will happen in the latest Safari. Now try it again in Chrome and guess what! This used to work perfectly. More importantly is the profile icon (far top right, usually your picture) which allows you to login/logout/switch google mail accounts also will not work at all which makes it impossible to use this with Safari.
Apple you may want to track down what changed as this will impact your browser's market share if its is not fixed asap. I will come back and try Safari again in a week and see if they have fixed anything. For now, sadly its off to Chrome for me.
If you would like me to provide any diagnostic information I am more than happy to assist in this matter.

Hilarious,
Its a Safari bug. Go fullscreen and the icons work fine. Now go back to non-fullscreen and they dont work.
Apple..... ho..... Apple?????
Time for a fix......

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.

Glims no longer works in safari 8 - Alternative?

Save as PDF no longer works in Safari in 10.5.1

Since this has to do with the printing interface I'm guessing this is where the post goes.
I found that saving a webpage as a pdf no longer works from Safari 3.0.4 in OS 10.5.1. The print dialog box won't go away after selecting save as pdf so you have to force quit Safari. It looks like the save dialog goes behind the print dialog and I can't get to it.
Anybody else have this issue? I found that other people were having printing of pdf problems, but I didn't see this one.
-Dan

Never mind. Seems that Default Folder V 3.0.2 was causing the issue. I killed the Default Folder task and problem is gone. Time to buy an upgrade.

Why is siriusxm suddenly no longer working on safari?

Why is Siriusxm suddenly no longer working on safari?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, include details.

Google Analytics site no longer works in Safari 5

I just updated to Safari 5 last week and have been having the same kind of issues that other people are posting here about slowness and inability to find servers and crashes etc.
My biggest issue now is that Google Analytics website no longer works. It worked just fine in Safari 4x and works fine in every other browser I've used on a Mac or PC. In Safari 5 part of the page loads and then a pink rectangle appears at the top center of the page that says:
"This page has encountered an error that may prevent it from working correctly."
The box has an X to close it but that's it. I have never seen this type of error appear on any other website, either using Safari 4 or 5.
I really need this site for my business. And I'm not interested in changing to Firefox or some other browser.
I have also just purchased the upgrade to Snow Leopard but have not installed it yet.
Has anyone else found this error message in Safari 5 and have any advice?
Thanks!

Here is another update, I have tried the following:
Removed all internet plugins
Reset Permissions
Deleted all Google cookies
After resetting permissions, S5 is running faster and seems normal again but Google Analytics site still will not work! Still getting the same pink error message.

Right clicking no longer works in Safari

Just yesterday, I started experiencing a strange problem with Safari--the right mouse button no longer works. I also tried the right clicking option with command + clicking on the touchpad and that doesn't work either. Right clicking works outside the Safari window and in all other programs, so I'm pretty much baffled. I tried restarting the computer/reopening Safari and it allows me to right click exactly once before the right click option stops working again. I'm not going to use Safari anymore until this problem is resolved, so if anyone has any idea what's going on, please let me know.

While it is possible that a reinstallation is needed, let's start with some easier steps first. I would use some of the techniques described in [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199].
Do you have another user account on the computer? If not, create one (System Preferences > Accounts > Click on the lock to authenticate > click the "+" button to add a new account > fill in required info.) Next, log out of your usual account and log in to the other one. Launch Safari. Does the same issue occur?
If yes, you have a system wide issue. If no, it is a user specific issue. There are different methods for troubleshooting each. Post back here with your results and we'll see what we need to do next.
Best of luck.

YouTube no longer works in Safari 3.1.1ow

Since I upgraded to Safari 3.1.1 YouTube video has stopped working.
Other flash based movie sites continue to function properly.
Could someone please let me know if there is a work around or fix?
Thanks!

I take that back, NO flash video works in Safari 3.1.1 today. YouTube, Hulu, etc.
Please let me know when this is fixed, or if there is a workaround for it.

Apple Start page no longer works with Safari 1.3.2?

I just set up an iBook G3 with Mac OS X 10.3.9, with all updates, and opened Safari, which is set to got to the Apple Start page initially:
http://www.apple.com/startpage
Safari loads the page, but two areas are blank: the "Hot News Headlines" in the middle of the page, and the "iTunes Movie Trailers" on the left side. No content appears in these areas. If I click on the "All" next to "Hot News Headlines" a page of html-code text appears.
When I load this page in Firefox or Camino, these areas have the expected content: text in "Hot News Headlines" and a picture in "iTunes Movie Trailers".
I know Safari 1.3.2 is pretty old now, and cannot be upgraded to anything later, since it's integrated with 10.3.9; for this reason I recommend using a more current browser such as Camino or Firefox with this System. But I was just wondering: has anyone else seen this behavior? Is Apple's own web page now too much for Safari 1.x to handle?

Hi HandyMac,
Yes, Safari v1.3.2 is quite dated by today's standards. And yes, the Apple StartPage doesn't work for me either 100% on Safari v1.3.2.
Most Panther users have migrated to Camino. FireFox 2 is no longer updated for Panther either.
On Panther I use Opera and SeaMonkey.

Downloads No Longer Working in Safari 6

Having an issue with Safari 6 where links to downloads no longer appear to be working. They were working properly in Safari 5 prior to 6 install, and also work properly in Firefox/Chrome.
In Safari 6, the user clicks on the link, it appears that Safari is thinking about downloading it (and maybe is downloading it), but it never appears in the download folder nor in the download window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Quit Safari.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen, click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go then move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Google maps no longer working on safari

Intermittent problem of late. running safari v5.0.5, and I can no longer get google maps to work. I get no map, and then a yellow bar with 'still loading - slow?' etc inside at the top of the page. the troubleshooting link doesn't help. any assistance much appreciated. its difficult to make travel plans for Europe when you relying on this! I am currently using O2 mobile broadband, though I have no idea whether this is in any way relevant. TIA.

I've had the same problem for quite a while. I just thought it was because my computer is so old (2001). I also have a problem with Google images. A few images pop up and that's it.
I resorted to using Yahoo for images and maps, and haven't had a problem.

I'm having a similar difficulty.
I have a website designed in Flash, with a registration form which uses a php script to send the registration information as an email.
Testing the flash file locally, everything works. Test the html page (locally) - in Safari - everything works. Try the page online - in Safari - no joy. Try the same in Firefox - bingo, the email is sent.
To further drive me crazy, using my test html file and basic flash form, on the same server, same directory and same php script as the web site.... Safari does work????????
