How to make Safari automatically open .ram sound clips?

When I click on, say a a sound clip to preview music, Safari just downloads the file but does not automatically play it, so I have to click on the file for it to be played by RealPlayer instead of this happening automatically after the download. The "open "safe" files after downloading" box is checked in preferences.
Using Safari 2.03 and RealPlayer 10.0.0 with Tiger

Safari probably has Open Safe Files disabled in preferences as a security caution. Open Safari's Preferences and click on the General icon. Check Open Safe Files if you want Safari to open files automatically. However, if you do this, make sure you have installed the most recent updates using Software Update because the last security update fixed a couple of exploits related to malicious files.

  • How to make Safari automatically open PDFs in Preview?

    Well, the subject says it all:
    I would like Safari to download PDFs when i click on them and then open them automatically in Preview.
    I don't want any plugins nor any Acrobat.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    (I have tried acrobat and the schubert-it plugin, neither of them has really satisfied me, so i have removed both of them.)
    I have, of course, looked in this forum for any hints, but, although there seems to be a lot of posts about the "safari & PDF" topic, i didn't find anything solving my question.
    Any suggestions or hints will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Not sure why you prefer to open the PDF outside of
    Safari?
    i think it's more convenient:
    Acrobat is too slow; and when viewing PDFs inside Safari i don't have all the nice keyboard shortcuts for zooming, flipping pages, copying stuff from the PDF is not as smooth, etc. It's just the overall look-and-feel that's much nicer in Preview, IMHO.
    Anyway, I guess you're saying Preview does not open
    after the PDF download.
    Yes, that's what i meant.
    Have you tried accessing the
    info panel for one of the PDF files and changing the
    "open with" selection to "Preview" - then, "change
    all"?
    Now i am not quite sure what you mean.
    In Finder, when i double-click a PDF it opens fine in Preview.
    Also, in the info panel, Preview is set for the "open with" for all and any PDF.
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

  • How can I make safari automatically open a word/pdf doc after it has been  downloaded?

    If I want to open a pdf or word file in safari, the program just downloads the file to the  map downloaded files. I must then manually find the file and click on it to open. In firefox this happens automatically.  Is it possible to make safari do this?
    Best Per

    Safari can view a PDF file without downloading it to the computer.
    Word files can not be opened automatically after download.
    Check Safari preference / General tab and look at the bottom of the window.

  • How to make safari window open up to my size pref

    Sorry about the long subject title. Everytime I open safari on my Apple computers the safari window will open up in a different size or place. How can I set it to open to my own default like preference so that it covers the screen when I open safari.
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks!

    Thanks alot for the quick response. However, my problem is that I do resize the window with the lower right drag every time I open safari. It doesn't seem to save the setting or something. If I stretch it out huge....next time I open, it will be tiny, (and hitting the green button doesn't fix it) or in a different possition.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • How to make Safari automatically enter ebay Password

    How do I get Safari to automatically put in my Ebay password. I am the only one who uses the computer and I would like to not have to enter it each day.

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Select: User names and passwords.
    Go to the eBay site. Login with your user name and password. Click Yes when prompted.
    That will store that data to a new keychain for you in Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities)
    When you revisit eBay, you shouldn't have to enter your username and password.
    If you forget your eBay password, just open the Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Double click the eBay keychain. Click Show Password

  • How to make Safari stop opening up with the last viewed page?

    If I quit safari with "google.com", and I open it up again, "google.com" shows up.
    how do i change the settings so that every time I open up safari, the homepage shows, not the last viewed page?

    Close the Safari window before you quit Safari.
    Or hold the shift key down when you launch Safari.
    Best.

  • How to make safari re-open your tabs

    When I quit Safari is there a way for it to remember my tabs and re-open them when I run it again?  I tried changing the 'close windows when quitting an application" box in General Preferences, but it didn't affect Safari.  I also saw something about putting it in full-screen mode and quitting from there, but who uses Safari in full-screen mode?
    Thanks
    Bob

    Safari>History> reopen all windows for last session
    Safari in full screen mode and quiting, will not open back to full screen mode like some.
    I have Safari in full screen mode,  but it is not my main browser which is on the open desktop for screen real estate.

  • Safari Automatically Opens after Starting or Restarting???

    Every time I start up or restart my iMac, Safari automatically opens.  It and no other apps were open when I restarted or shut down.  Why would this be happening and how do I stop it?
    I looked under System Preferences - Users - Login Items and Safari was not there.  I also right-click on Safari in my dock and the option to "Open at Login" is not checked.  Anywhere else I could look?   It's just annoying..
    New 2013 27" iMac
    OS X 10.8.5 
    Safari v6.1

    Thanks for the response, Linc.  I have just a couple things in my Login Items.  Doubt they'd be causing it.

  • Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mail? Mine won't and hasn't for some time.

    I have been having trouble for some time sending e-mails by Safari - no problems with Mail - Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mails?

    When we first got our new iMac we were able to send e-mail through Safari - somewhere in the last 2-3 years it stopped and we got the failure to deliver message. We then sent e-mails through Mail - it works well and we have gotten used to doing this. However, every once in a while I retry send e-mails through Safari and we still get the  failure to deliver notice. This has also happened when we try to forward some e-mails we receive (not all; most get forwarded).

  • How to get safari to open to the last page I was on and screens to enlarge automatically?

    Hello, I just upgraded to the latest iMac version from my 2010 model, and whenever I close and open up safari it opens to top siotes instead of the last page I was on, and every time I open it I have to enlarge it myself by clicking the arrows in the top right. Same happens with everything else, like the app store. How do I change this so whenever I go to safari it opens to the last page I was on and has safari, app store, etc. have large screens right away? I set up my old iMac 3 years ago, and I guess I must've done something to have it do this, but I forgetn what I did. Thank you in advance

  • How to make Finder automatically go to the foremost open window?

    I hope I'm explaining this clearly.
    Suddenly, when I click on the Finder from the Dock, it does not go to the last open window. I have to go to the Windows menu and select it, or click and wait on the Finder icon in the dock for it to open. I usually have a lot of apps open so when I go to Finder it's to do some file management - and the extra step of having to bring the last open window to the forefront is annoying me!
    Does anyone know how to make the Finder automatically come to the forefront (with the windows) from click in the Dock? I swear my mac always did that before but now it's stopped!

    can anyone help me here?

  • How to disable what makes Foxfire automatically open

    When ever I click on an internet item, Foxfire opens. I want to use Safari and do not want Foxfire to open automatically!

    You can bring up Safari and anything done within stays within Safari.
    When you have another application call for web file your default browser will be used. You can only have one default browser.
    To make Safari your default browser you will have to do that from within Safari. Use help there and search for "default browser" or you should be able to find it yourself:
    :Gear wheel > Preferences > Default browser > (choose Safari in the drop down)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
    :especially if you want to make Firefox your default browser once more
