Isight use with Safari

I am trying to use my iSight with a web based web chat system. I can not get the iSight to turn on and send a video signal. I have no problem with my DV camera and Safari and the iSight even works (although with poor image quality) on my Widows XP box with Internet Explorer. The service works with Macromedia Flash and their web sit says they support the iSight. So I don't know where the problem lies. My iSight works great with iChat. I am using Mac OS X 10.4.2 and Safari 2.0.1

Hello Steve,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Each "web based web chat system" has its own requirements.
Because your Safari and iSight are both working, the problem likely lies with other requirements of the web sites that give you trouble. If their help or support pages do not help you, contact the site's web master for help.

Can AOL Dial-Up be used with Safari?

My grandmother wants to get an iMac (she currently uses Windows). However, she swears by AOL, claiming that it is simply the best internet service and that the browser is great. This is mainly because all her friends have AOL (but what do they know?) I've told her that the AOL browser probably won't run on OS X (I don't really know, I just don't want her using it).
But I wanted to know:
Can you have AOL internet service and use Safari? And, if Safari won't work, what about Firefox?

Incidentally, getting aol dialup set up on an imac is a bit tricky. See this thread for directions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=277709&tstart=45
(BTW, once she has the mac I would keep stressing the fact that she could get dsl lite from any number of sources for what she's paying for aol dialup.)

Web host with Safari-based site builder?

My current website host (XO) has "lost" my site and has decided to phase out its Site Builder, which I could use with Safari, in favor of its new Web Builder, which is only accessible with IE 6. As most of you know, there is no IE 6 available for Mac and MS has stopped supporting ANY IE for Mac. I don't know HTML and am not really interested in learning it. Does anyone know of a good, reliable web host with an easy site building program that is Safari-able?
Thanks!
Liz

I found a great one after searching for months. It's called macwebsitebuilder.com and it has everything! Easy to use and tons of feautres.

Isight not working with safari or firefox.

Hi I own a macbook pro thats no more than 4 months old. The issue started yesterday when I wasnt able to use my isight with any website on the internet. My isight works fine with photobooth, skype, ichat, etc... it only doesnt work when I try to use it on the internet.
Now ive looked at some threads on here because im not alone on this issue but ive tried everything ive seen on here and nothing has worked. Ive ran my disc utility mulitple times (before and after reinstalling flash player 10) repaired and verified permissions also. My software is totally updated, and ive shut down and restarted multiple times as well. This is not just a safari problem, as im having the same issue on firefox. All my plugins are updated and enabled on safari and firefox. Im not sure what to do from here. Ive I can get some help that would be awesome

Welcome to Discussions, Michael Pane
Depending on system configuration and installed third-party items, various users have reported different methods of restoring Flash video website functionality:
(1) For those who have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.
If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. (not your *Home > Library* folder)
Other users confirm that using the Google uninstaller works, including your post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12618888#12618888
Some other users, including those who do not use the Google plugins, have found other remedies.
(2) User joew13 reports that installing the 64-bit Flash plug-in beta for Mac OS X (DMG, 8.7 MB)
fixed Flash sites for him.
This link allows download of the 64-bit plugin beta from an official Adobe page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
or, to download the beta directly, click this link--> http://tinyurl.com/2frejs4
Several other users have confirmed success after the beta update.
(3) User imagerle downgraded Flash to version 10,0,45,2 to restore Flash video.
If this older version is not available on a backup or an old install disk, it can be downloaded from Adobe's Archived Flash Players page:

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Project Server 2010 SP2 - Use with IE11, Firefox and Safari

More groups in my company are being onboarded to start reporting time and managing projects out of Project Server /PWA 2010.  We found that one of the groups have MACs and use either Safari or Firefox. There are some members of that
same team who are using an HP machine but are using IE 11.
From what I am reading and what I am seeing it appears that with Firefox and Safari you cannot access Manage Timesheets or Project Center.  Has anyone found a work-around for this?
The work-around we are using for IE11 is to add Project Serrver to the Compatability View.  Does anyone know of a problem with this approach?
Thank you

Look into using the 'IE tab' for Chrome/Firefox as a work-around. I had a similar scenario with Mac users and installed IE tab in their Chrome/Firefox browsers for them and worked pretty good for the most part. Hope this helps.

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Hi
I have Mountain Line with Safari 6.0.2. I used to open Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. and everytime I select "Stay signed in" "Remember my password" etc. but it doesn't save my passwords and everytime I have to sign in again. I never sign out from these websites but when I open it next time, it requires username & password.
Does anybody know the problem & solution, plz help. I also found disk erros and reaoired permissiomn and the restarted and did disk utlty again and repaired the same disk errors and then did a restart and still does not remember passwords or ask me. Did all this still no luck it saved apple login on here and saved gmail account but others one it used to save does no longer.here is what i did below and still no luck.
Instructions
Set Your Passwords Preferences
1
Open up your Safari Web browser and choose 'Preferences' from the Safari pull down menu
2
Click on the heading 'AutoFill.'
Click on the box next to 'User Names and Passwords.'
4
Close the 'Preferences' window.
Save Your Passwords
5
Go to a Web page that requires a password and enter in your chosen password. Safari will then ask if you would like to save this password.
6
Click on the button 'Yes' in order to save the password.
7
Complete steps 1 and 2 for any other passwords that you want Safari to remember.
Manage Your Passwords
8
Go to the 'AutoFill' section in the Safari Preferences window.
9
Click on the 'Edit' button to the right of where it says 'User Names and Passwords.' This will bring up a window displaying all of the passwords and usernames that you have authorized Safari to save.
10
Click on a password listing and push the 'Remove' button in order to delete the password from Safari's memory.
11
Choose 'Remove All' in order to delete all of the saved passwords.
12

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

I have the same problem on my Windows 7 computer. In the right-click menu for a song one option is DELETE. However when I click that option the next window is to HIDE instead of DELETE. Apple, please help us with this.

I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

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.

ISight working with only Safari, nothing else

My built-in MacBook iSight is only working with Safari (at like video sites), but it won't work with iChat or Photo Booth. I have no idea how to try to fix this.

You have to quit Safari before it will work in another application.
