ICal appears to work in Safari, but not in iCal

I'm running iCal server on 10.5.2 server. If I load up an iCal URL of the form:
http://ical.example.com:8008/calendars/users/myname/calendar/
in Safari, it asks me for my id and password for the '/Search' realm, and then I get a nicely presented bunch of XML chunks, which I'm guessing is right. I tried various other URLs and they all seemed to produce sensible looking output too, no errors or anything.
If I use the same URL in iCal when creating a new account, I just get this error:
Account information not found
Request encountered an unexpected error (domain (null) / code 0).
In the iCal access.log in Server Admin I can see each connection request logs a 401 (for the initial login request), followed by a 207 (Multi-Status WebDAV) response, which seems reasonable. However, iCal 3.0.2 seems not to like it.
I've also tried enabling SSL (using https and 8443) using a real certificate that works fine for web and mail, but then even the non-secure connection doesn't respond at all. I've turned that off for now.
Any idea what's wrong or how to fix this?

some of this this may sound way basic and/or absurd, but give it a try. i'm finally up for a week now.
but i've been working with 10.5.2 server and there's little snags that trip up everything. first, stability for the entire server hinges on a rock solid dns and open directory base. in short, you must have a fully resolved dns setup or you'll hit wall after wall (208 errors, null 0 errors, etc). you've got to have a FQDN that passes "sudo changeip -checkhostname" (see elsewhere in forums for detailed info).
next, make sure you've started and stopped (reset) the ical server and the web server after making new groups.
did you check the firewall for all ports open that are needed?
if you've been moving things about and/or changing permissions, make sure the owner and groups have been reset to _calandar and _teamserver for ical serving and wiki/blog serving respectively.
i think ssl is a dead end and not related here.
finally, (this is the one that wasted my last weekend, chasing red herrings) make sure the trailing slash is present on your ical url. yes, that trailing "/" being absent will result in the null error.
hope something here hits it for you.
i feel your pain, seriously. hours and hours, days and days.

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Photo Gallery - works in Safari but not Firefox .. ?

Hi,
I have a photo gallery at http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Photos.html
When I go into the albums, pictures are displayed in Safari but not on Firefox.
When creating this page on iWeb I selected 'Web Gallery' instead of 'Album'. Does this make any difference?
Regards.

I have just visited "http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Pages/KartingEdgeRound-1.html" using both Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12) and Firefox version 2.0.0.9 on a G4 PB 10.4.11. And both browsers displayed the same information from what I can see. All the pictures revealed themselves.
Have I picked the correct album for your example?
I tried other area's of your web site and all appeared to be the same as the Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache.

This site works in Safari but not in Firefox

This site works fine in Safari but not in the latest version of Firefox on 2 of my computers:
http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/labs/levin/resources/books.htm
I've cleared cache, restarted, etc. - no good. On Safari, I see a bunch of tiled thumbnails for various books on Amazon. On Firefox, I see absolutely no thumbnails, just rows of text and horizontal lines (I can't figure out how to upload attachments here).

Aha! Restarting without add-ons fixed it. I must have something that blocks iframes with links to Amazon books. Thanks!

Forwarded to godaddy domain. works on safari but not explorer or firefox

I finally figured how to use my website so that when you type in the domain it redirects to the mobile me website. However, it is working just great on safari but not on explorer or firefox.

I have always used GoDaddy's forward and masking utilities and its worked great. When Apple updated iWeb to 08 with the ability to auto forward, I had lots of issues and thus went back to setting up my GoDaddy preferences to auto-forward and mask my site. GoDaddy has the very best phone support on the planet which makes up for one of the worst websites on the internet. Call them up and have them walk you through auto-forwarding and masking. Check out my site at: www dot jennifersheehan dot com. Hope that helps

Links working in Safari but not Firefox

Hi friends,
I'm hoping someone can help this confused amateur (aka me) get my website to work correctly. The site works fine in Safari -- but in Firefox, the internal links do not work (external links are OK). I suspect it has something to do with defining the pathways within the directory, but beyond that I'm lost.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix for someone who know what they're doing
Here's the site: www.thefourglobaltruths.com
The problematic links are under the banner, specifically "about the author," "links," "schedule," and "interviews."
BTW, I'm using a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, and CS5...if any of that matters.
Many thanks in advance!

Is this website around 10+ years old?
It contains ancient, invalid code long past due for an update. It's a bit of a time machine.
Have you heard of validating code? It's a quick and easy method of checking if your code can be read properly by a browser.
If you put the address of the author page into http://validator.w3.org/
You will get 26 errors
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefourglobaltruths.com%2Fauthor.html&c harset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

My page works in Safari, but not in Internet Explorer

I am working on a new site, www.icu-usapro.com. I am working
on a mac and have the page looking and working fine in safari, but
when i view it in Internet Explorer, the menu at the top moves and
the links do not work. I imported the top from fireworks as HTML
and used javascript to get the buttons to work. Could someone help
me find out why it changes from browser platforms, I really need it
to work in IE.
thanks,
Tom

Just noticed that in IE and FireFox (Mac) your menubar
overwrites part of the graphic in the top left.
I tend to use FireFox (with the JavaScript console open) when
developing stuff and then test in Safari every now and again to
make sure it looks ok there, rather than use Safari during
development and testing occasionally in Firefox (or Camino).

Input type="image" only works in Safari, but not IE or Firefox?

Having accidentally discovered a form on a site I am working on was only working in Safari, I've just spent about five hours retracing my steps, before eventually discovering that the code that was making the form fail was my submit code.
The page I was looking at had quite a bit of validation, CAPTCHA code and some jQuery to style some drop downs, so I figured something there was the issue.
But it turned out just to be the submit button.
I've just tried it on my contact page, and its failing in Firefox (Mac) too (and so I assume IE as well.)
Should this work, or is using input type="image" on a form submit button a big no no?
This code works:
<input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="KT_Insert1" value="Post your query" />
But this code does not work (except, it seems, in Safari):
<input name="KT_Insert1" type="image" id="KT_Insert1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('KT_Insert1','','../images/buttons/post_enquiry2.jpg',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" value="Post your query" src="../images/buttons/post_enquiry1.jpg" border="0" />
Or am I missing something here?

Thanks for that - might have realised this a lot earlier if it didn't work in Safari!
I assume I just need some CSS like:
.formbutton
background-image: image1.jpg;
.formbutton :hover
background-image: image2.jpg;
And:
<input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="Send" value="Send message" class="formbutton" />

Flash with QT 7.3 works in Safari, but not in Firefox

Like many others here, I have been having issues with the upgrade to QT 7.3 and Flash. I've followed a few different suggestions from here on the forums, but I've only been able to get Flash working in Safari; Firefox remains mysteriously broken. Has anyone else been having issues with Flash in Firefox only?
I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.9 and Flash 9.0.47 (the latest version available for download from Adobe's site). I'm planning on upgrading to 10.5.1 soon, and while I didn't see the Flash/QT problem addressed in the list of bugs that it was supposed to fix, I still wonder if that might help.

Well, after about five hours retracing my steps, I finally figured out the offending code - it was the submit button.
On this page:
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/consumer_add_query/index.php
It works fine with:
<input type="submit" name="KT_Insert1" id="KT_Insert1" value="Post your query" />
But on this page:
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/consumer_add_query/indexb.php
It only works in Safari with:
<input name="KT_Insert1" type="image" id="KT_Insert1" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('KT_Insert1','','../images/buttons/post_enquiry2.jpg',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" value="Post your query" src="../images/buttons/post_enquiry1.jpg" border="0" />
As its now nearly 2:30am, I'm not going to try to figure why that should be right now.
Its nothing if not frustrating sometimes, this web design lark!

Slide show works with Safari but not Firefox!

I'm baffled: I was swapping out some new .jpgs for my site's looping photo slide show on the top of every page, everything was working fine 2 days ago and then... nada. I didn't change anything to cause it AND it displays fine with Safari. I'm pretty sure I have all my plug-ins up to date etc., so WTF?!?!?! Thank you.

Perhaps "slideshow" isn't the best description (I am NOT a programmer). There are six images inside the wood-looking frame on the top of EVERY page, which used to cycle through on a loop. I can still see them with Safari, but although I didn't change anything when swapping out the jpgs a couple of days ago (and they worked fine until yesterday)... they're no longer viewable on Firefox. Again... WTF?!?!?

Insert record page - works in Safari, but not IE / Firefox

I've been working on a form where users can post an enquiry to a database.
Thought it was all starting to come together, but I noticed at another client's today that it didn't work in IE.
In Safari you fill in the form, hit the Post Enquiry button and you go to an Enquiry Added page.
In IE / FF it looks as though the page just refreshes, and nothing happens...
You can see what I mean by logging in here with:
testusername
testpassword
and click on Post Enquiry

Any ideas why that would be or how to fix it?

Web sharing works in Safari, but not Firefox?

Have created a simple website in Sites folder with Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
Appears to work fine in Safari, but when open address http://192.168.1.111/~username/ in Firefox, the old "Your website" html appears - even through that file has been replaced.
Same thing with the WebServer folder. I get the "It works!" file instead of the new one. Works fine in Safari.
Something I am missing?
Inexperienced at this! Any response appreciated, thanks.

Flash player work with Safari, but not with Internet Explorer

My flash player had a problem so I uninstalled it. I had a problem downloading the player with Internet Explorer, so I successfully download it with Safari. The player works fine with Safari, but I cannot get it to work with Internet Explorer 8.
I used to have the Flash Player 10 Active X (10.1.85.3), which I had uninstalled.
I now have the Flash Player 10 Plugin (10.1.85/3)
The problem I had downloading the player with IE was that the "allow Active X" information bar never appeared and I was unable to see any download at all.
How do I get flash to work with my Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)?

This adobe web site worked easily for me, when I needed to install adobe flash JUST for IE8.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
All you need to do is choose your OS in the top window, then in the bottom window choose "Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Internet Explorer", and voila, that is what adobe installs!! Give it a go. I had problems too, before I foud this. Diligent

Ftp access works with Safari but not with Netscape or Explorer

The problem I am trying to solve is that my ftp service works correctly with Safari but gives an error message when the ftp service is access via Netscape or Explorer. Error message is "530 Guest login disabled". These two web browsers will not display a login screen for access by real users; Safari provides the login screen. The server is restricted to real users only

Check the proxy settings of the programs that are not working.
Check your firewall settings as well but I do not think that is it.

Bluetooth issue when working with Safari but not other applications

I have tried two new bluetooth headsets (Motorola 9HD and Sony DR-BT100cx) that both can Pair with and work just fine with the local itunes application and any DVD I use. But these devices do not work with Safari. I tried going to Hulu, YouTube, etc and i can tell the bluetooth device is 'listening' because I can hear it click or wait for a signal. But I never hear anything. If i switch over to DVD or my Podcasts that are local, it works fine. If I go to bluetooth settings and select 'stop using headset' the MacBook speakers pick up right away.
Note: I am a brand new Mac user, so please disregard my OS version I have selected. I have no idea how to find my OS version, nor do I know how to install Firefox to see if it is simply a browser issue.
Thanks,
Jay

I have the same issue. I've tried 3 different btooth headsets, and they all react the same:
- music: ok
- skype: ok
- webcasts / video (safari or firefox): no sound, and video stops
HOWEVER: same system, same headset, using Internet Explorer in my windows xp VM: everything works.
Anyone know how to contact Apple and log this issue?
