Language Problems With Safari For Windows

Hello
I am using SFW on Windows Vista Media Edition.
I bought the whole thing in Spain.
First my Windows XP Media Edition is in Spanish and I cannot find the way to change the language to English.
The reason I mention that is because , having originally been using XP Media Edition, I have been using the very nice SFW for some three weeks.
However when I downloaded the SFW software it installed in Spanish.
Does anyone have the method (for a novice) of getting the whole thing to change to English please?

Unfortunately, you cannot change the language for Windows Vista, because Spanish is the default language for the version on that computer you purchased. You should contact the vendor of your computer system and ask them to provide you with a U.S. or U.K. English version, since you were unaware that the installed version was in Spanish. If they will not do that, you'd need to buy a copy of Windows Vista Media Edition in English and install it over the version you already have.
For Safari, you can change the language displayed, but keep in mind that Safari defaults upon installation to the default language of the OS. To change the default language for Safari, do this:
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Safari and look in all the folders for .lproj files. These are language resource files and they are in more than one folder, so you have to check all of them to be sure you find everything.
2. Remove all the language files or folders that aren't named "English.lproj"; (move them to a folder on your Desktop named so that you know where each group goes in case you have to put them back), then minimize or close the Find/Search window and try starting Safari to see if you have English again.

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?

So is it necessary to buy a mac to guarantee that a website acts like it should, or is the Safari for Windows enough?

Language problem with Safari!

I can't view the Arabic language correctly with "Safari". I chose the "Arabic (Windows )" as my "Default Encoding". I'm using "Safari 3.0.3 (522.15.5)". My OS is "Windows Vista Ultimate". "Arabic" is my current language for non-unicode programs. I don't have this language problem with neither "Internet Explorer 7" or "Firefox 2.0.0.7". I really like the "Safari Web Browser" but this problem si really annoying. How can I solve it? Thanks!

Try to run nightly version of Safari: http://nightly.webkit.org or wait for final version of Safari. Localization issues are major known bugs in Safari.

Very poor implementation of XMLHttpRequest streaming with Safari for Window

I hope this post reaches Apple engineers. This is critical for us to resolve this. I am a member of the developer network, so if using incident support is necessary, it can be used. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I have implemented a test to compare XMLHttpRequest streaming performance for different browsers. Safari for Windows 5.0.3 had the worst results compared to Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, I think this problem was introduced after Safari 3. The test consists of a server pushing messages of about 350 bytes to the browser at a rate of about 300/s. Once server pushes 10,000 messages, it closes the connection and browser opens new one repeating the cycle. There were several problems associated with Safari: 1) Safari could not process much more then 300 messages/s, that is quite low. Chrome had no problem processing 1,000. If, for example, 500 m/s was used, Safari would quickly allocate hundreds of meg of memory and crash. 2) Safari starts with about 64MEG of memory allocated. Once the test page is opened, memory quickly climes to 150MEG and as test progresses to >400MEG. Once the connection closes, it drops to 150MEG again. Chrome's memory did not fluctuate at all staying at 32MEG for the same test. 3) CPU was steadily claiming as test progressed and then dropped as connection was reset, creating CPU spikes. It reached about 50% CPU before connection was closed. Chrome's CPU stayed at about 2% all the time. This is the code: Server. Should be run with the latest Java Tomcat 7. Configure Tomcat to use Http11NioProtocol: package test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometEvent; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometProcessor; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class WebFrameworkServletXHRReconnects extends HttpServlet implements CometProcessor { @Override public void event(CometEvent event) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = event.getHttpServletRequest(); HttpServletResponse response = event.getHttpServletResponse(); if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.BEGIN) { System.out.println("Begin for session: " + request.getSession(true).getId() + " " + response.getWriter()); response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache,no-store"); response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,max-stale=0"); event.setTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss: "); for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { out.print("{\"messageType\":8448,\"requestId\":"0",\"eventType\":1,\"symbolId\" :[\"BAC.EA\",0],\"fields\":[{\"header\":"0",\"type\":6,\"data\":[3993,2]},{\"hea der\":"55",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1185,2]},{\"header\":54,\"type\":6,\"data\":[321 8,2]},{\"header\":"5",\"type\":6,\"data\":[6617,2]},{\"header\":52,\"type\":4,\" data\":[15]},{\"header\":"12",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1700,2]}]}"); out.flush(); if (i % 10 == 0) { try { //Thread.sleep(60); Thread.sleep(30); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } if (i % 100 == 0) { System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()) + i); } } out.close(); event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.ERROR) { event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.END) { event.close(); } } } client: <script type="text/javascript" src="log4js.js">

Does the Citrix ICA client work with Safari for Windows XP?

I really like safari for XP so far. However, I use the Citrix ICA client software to remotely access programs from a server at work. I tried following instructions on the Citrix knowledge base site for installing the client for Firefox, etc. since they did not have any info on Safari for windows. Please help, or I will be stuck using Explorer. Thanks.

The Citrix ICA client doesn't work with Safari on a Mac. Given the number of bugs and other problems with the Safari 3 Beta for Windows, I'd guess that the chances of Citrix working with this release are slim to none. However, the Citrix ICA client works well with Firefox 2.0, in case you're interested in trying it.

Need Help with safari for Windows 8

i am stuck with the need to have a pc due to a proprietary business software... I am a mac user and prefer to use safari... i just had to by a new pc and tried to download safari for windows 8.1 but cannot find it... any help out there?

Apple hasn't supported Safari for Windows in quite a while (and even when they did, you wouldn't want it - total crap). IE 11 actually isn't bad, you can also try Chrome.

Flash Video Encoder conflict with Safari for Windows

I installed Safari for Windows (AMD/Windows XP) without the
options (no Bonjour) and found that it disabled Adobe Flash Video
Encoder (tries to reinstall, can't find msi, can't reinstall from
disk, 1 keeps asking for disk 1). Uninstalled Quicktime, didn't
help. Uninstalled Safari, rebooted, still can't get Flash Encoder
working.

timtro;
Many (myself included)won't be installing safari/win until
the final
release, and I suspect Adobe won't test much until then
either, so it's
probably best to report this to apple as a possible bug with
their
beta. -Tom Unger

SDN access with Safari For Windows?

All,
Am just playing around with the Safari browser and when I try to access SDN using the same, I get a pop up stating, "to view this page you need to log into WebURLProtectionSpace Proxy HTTPS proxy server www.sdn.sap.com:443"
Has anyone tried accessing SDN using the new Apple Safari for Windows browser?
Any clues on what the user id and password needs to be here.
I have already tried,
1. My SDN user id and password.
2. My Proxy server's user id and password.
Also read up on the net that https sites seem to have an issue with Safari. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this though.
Regards
Bhavesh

Thought so as well .
But just wanted to know if anyone has tried this as well.

YouTube problems with Safari for many users

It seems that quite a few other users are having problems with Safari and YouTube after the recent updates.
(On another note, there's even more problems with Facebook and Safari.)
It seems that Safari isn't getting along with the web's two most popular sites. I am having these problems myself. Chrome seems to handle them fine, being WebKit also...

In the last week or so my Safari is going crazy. THis is frustrating and I dont know where the problem could be... I just know that I wouldnt like to switch to other browsers and I would still like to use Safari. But this is too much...
So I have a one year old Mac Book Pro 2.3 ghz Intel Core i7 8gb memory
MAC OS X version 10.7.3
Safari 5.1.4
So what is / was happening.
Firstly I couldn't see any of my emails in my gmail mailbox. I could see my emails if I could go back to the old look. But I wanted to have the new GMAIL look so I Was wondering what to do. At the same time in youtube which ever button i pressed nothing happened. If I pressed the videos button so I could see more videos from the user nothing opened. If I pressed show more button to get more info on the video nothing happened. So then I googled a little to see if somebody else has a problem and then somewhere it was written to uncheck the "open in 32bit" box and I did that. And so there was some progress. Even though I would still like to know why I need to do that and what is the difference if you are opening Safari in 32bit or you are not opening it in 32bit... Anyway at least now I could see my emails in my inbox on gmail and when I pressed the youtube buttons stuff worked. But still YouTube doesnt work the way it is suppose to work. When I open some videos - most of the videos I have huge problems with the slider timeline scrolling option (I dont know if that is the right name for it). Anyway this slider doesnt work at all. The video is loading and playing at the same time and then at one moment the slider stops or jumps at the beginning while the video is still playing. And I cant jump anywhere on the slider. The video plays till the end, I cant even pause it and when it comes to the end I cant play it again... I need to reload. SO once again. The slider stops and the loading trace disappears but the video plays on... And I have no control over it - I can not jump in time I can not go to the beginning - all I can do is either watch the video or reload the page...
Plus my safari keeps on reloading after a certain time. This can be a total pain in the *** when I write a long reply to somebody on Facebook or write a new thread on Apple support community and it reloads and what I was writing is lost forever. Again frustrating.
Does somebody else have the same problems and what should I do about this ******** Safari. Will they fix these problems are they fixing them?

Windows media player with safari for windows

Hi everyone
just a little problem of mine...
safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
help appreciated; thank you in advance!

Hi on_safari,
I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?

Problem with update for Windows 7 64 bit

I downloaded and updated to the newest version of iTunes, but when I restarted, as requested, my internet wouldn't work anymore. Not just when iTunes was open mind you....it wouldn't work AT ALL!! Up until the update iTunes ran fine, the internet was fine. So I uninstalled iTunes and now my internet is working again. So what's up with that? Why would iTunes suddenly interfere with my networks for the internet?

If you're new to forums you might need to know that Adobe have many dozens of different forums. If you post in the wrong one, the people there won't know anything about your problem, so take care to choose carefully.

Good luck!

Why was my topic deleted? This is a problem with itunes for windows!

I'm asking why iTunes does not work on Windows ME. Don't delete my question, that's just plain rude. =/
Answer me.

Moving along: Windows ME may be obsolete but there
are still large numbers of people using it. This is a
total guess but more than 10,000 would be about
accurate.
Maybe some people can afford an iPod but can't afford
a computer which will handle the upgrade from ME to XP.
You might want to try Winamp; they just added iPod support.
http://winamp.com/about/article.php?aid=10661
I don't know how WELL it works with WinME, but the website does say it will. Here are the latest Winamp minimum system requirements:
* 500MHz Pentium III or comparable
* 64MB RAM
* 15MB Hard Disk Space
* 16bit Sound Card
* Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003
* 1x speed or greater CD Burner (Required for Burning)
* 2x speed or greater CDROM (Required for Ripping)
That's a pretty low-end system configuration, so maybe it will work for you.
Regarding iTunes WinME support, I'm not surprised Apple doesn't want to open that bag of snakes. WinME has always been the red-headed stepchild of the Win9x series. XP is substantially different under the hood than Win9x; Apple would have quite a project to back-port their code to the 9x OS, and it's really not worth it for them given the small and dwindling installed base.
Of course, they also want you to buy a Mac if your current Windows machine won't do what you want, which may have something to do with it too.

Safari for Windows is NOT compatible with Unicode 3.1 CJK characters!

This is an "old" problem since Safari for Windows was initially released. In the meantime, the problem is still not fixed in the latest version 4.0.3 (531.9.1).
Not only Safari (for Windows) does not properly show homepages that contain Unicode 3.1 CJK characters, but it also fails to show Unicode 3.1 CJK characters (it shows "squares" instead) in the whole application, such as Search box and all dialog boxes. Will this be fixed in the next release?
By the way, it is strange that Safari 4 for Mac is Unicode 3.1 compatible.

To speak more precisely, the Safari for Windows doesn't support CJK characters of Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B.
The following test illustrates the incompatibility of Safari for Windows:
1. Sample text displayed in Firefox 3.0.2 on Fedora 9.

2. Sample text displayed in Safari 3.x/4.x on Windows XP with "MingLiu Ext-B" (an Ext-B font provided by Microsoft) installed.

Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

Safari version: 5.1.7
OS: Windows 7
Hi,
I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GREAT NEWS!!!!
I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";
right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!
