Media plugins not previewing in Safari

Quicktime files work properly ( in all browsers) once uploaded online but before uploading in preview mode, I see the Quicktime logo with a question mark in Safari....Firefox previews work. Please help....

If you have the perpetual licensed version of CS6, HTML5 video is not an option from the insert menu. But the code for HTML5 video is dirt simple to insert manually.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>


</head>
<style>
video {
    max-width:100%;
    display:block;
    margin:0 auto;
</style>
<body>

<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.ogv" type="video/ogg">
<source src="http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4" type="video/mp4">
If you're seeing this, you're using an
outdated browser that doesn't support
the video tag.
</video>

</body>
</html>
Browser support: Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome and IE all support HTML5 video tags.
For best results, you should provide at least 2 file types: MP4 and OGG or WEBM.
If you read the link I posted above, you will see a table of supporting browsers and the file types recommended for each.

Adobe Flash plugin hijacking Preview in Safari?

I downloaded Adobe Flash (just to be able to see Sherlock on PBS) and now every time I try to open a pdf file form other sites I get a "flash blocked for this site" message. There are no "pdf" plugins enabled (I inspected /Library/Internet Plug-Ins following the advice from this forum on how to restore Preview as default. I suppose I could disable Flash in Safari except for when it's actually needed to watch video.
Two questions a) to the forum, is there a permanent fix or do I have to schedule time in my calendar as "Adobe inanity"? b) to Apple: if Adobe is on a mission to sabotage Apple usability, can you do something about Adobe? Steve would have sued them already. Really, when you sum up the time wasted in a given month by everyone to get rid of some new Adobe power trip, that's gotta be millions of perfectly good hours going into cyberoblivion.

I feel your pain.
In my case I had to delete the Adobe reader plug-ins in the Library\Internet Plug-Ins folder under the user name log in
and
the main hard drive Library\Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Longer Version solution explanation:
Go to your Finder.
Under Devices open the Macintosh HD folder. Then click the Library folder. Then click the Internet Plug-Ins folder. Move the Adobe Reader Plug-Ins to Trash.
Also go to Finder and click on the user name you are logged in under on your OSX. Then click Library. (you may have to right click the Library folder then select Open). Open the Internet Plug -Ins folder and delete the Adobe Reader plug ins.
That should do it.
Extra credit if you want to first view the Installed Plug-Ins before then after complete removal of Adobe Reader from your OSX.
Go to Safari then click Help. (if you have anything typed in the Help box you may not see the "Installed Plug-Ins" option. Click on Installed Plug-Ins.
You will see Adobe Reader right at the top of the list. Once you follow the directions above and go back to this area in Safari any reference to Adobe Reader will be removed.

They show just fine for me running 10.9.1 and Safari 7.0.1.
There is no Java used in the page code.

JQuery Drag and Drop Plugin Not Working on Safari 7.0

I have a website that uses jQuery Drag and Drop and it is working on Safari 6.0.5, Chrome, and Firefox, but it doesn't work on Safari 7. Any ideas why this would be?
In genearl Safari has a lot of CSS and Javascript issues. If there is a place that list all of these issues and solutions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

More information would be great.
What type of site is it? WordPress? Joomla or Drupal?
What drag and drop theme or framwork are you using?
What version of software and theme, what type of hosting, what version of PHP and mySQL?
I'm having similar issues but details such as these will go a long way to grouping symptoms and getting to the bottom of the problem(s).
One thing I've noted is that in most cases everything is actually working. It's just taking an unbelievably long time. jQuery isn't the problem either. It seems more closely related to the quantity of available tasks on a given page.
There are forum posts for v7 that say Safari isn't compatible with WordPress for example. It is compatible and works just fine, but if you're running the latest version of Catalist Theme and their Dynamic Site Builder you can't do anything with Dynamic admin because all its options are on a single page which appears to be too much for Safari 7 to handle for some reason. Folks are having similar problems with Genesis, Headway Theme, Pagelines and many others.

Preview and safari do not display images in a pdf, where as chrome will. How do I fix this?

I'm on the newest OS X Yosemite and I have an issue with viewing pdfs in both preview and safari. The figures show up fine from Chrome. This also leads to the issue of when I try to print off the pdf. The images do not appear in the printed version.
Safari/ Preview:
Chrome:

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Preview In Browser Not Working With Safari 3.0 On Mac

When using the "Preview in Browser" command from DW CS3, the
file address information is incorrect when previewed in Safari 3.0.
I don't recall this being a problem before I updated my Mac to
Tiger. Anyone else had any problems with this?
Thanks,
cloud9indusrties

If the address information is incorrect you should double
check your paths. Also, consider using the computer's IP address if
you can as opposed to the localhost address. All you would need to
make that work is to just turn on Web Sharing in the preferences
(this turns on Apache web server). I have found this to be a much
more reliable method on the Mac.
Also, please make sure, if you have not already done so, that
Safari is the latest version (meaning the final release and not the
beta), because there were issues with the beta that I had.

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

Windows Media plugin for firefox loads but does not play

Hi,
I am facing problems using windows media plugin on firefox as well as other browsers as well. I guess the problems would lie on the windows media plugin.
Few weeks back, I do not have any problems running windows media player on firefox, however I am unable to do so now. I am able to load the plugin but I cannot play it. I tried testing the plugin on the site below. Thank you for your help.
Windows Media plugin for firefox :
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/play-windows-media-files-in-firefox?s=windows+media+&r=0&e=es&as=s

Hi,
You can try to fully trust Firefox + its sub processes/files in the security software (antivirus and firewall). You can also try to '''Disable''' other possibly conflicting '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. You could also uninstall it from the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features and [www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download reinstall it].

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time i run safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive?

I get the "Fast Browser Plugin not loaded" message every time I run Safari and I can't find an MTWB folder anywhere on my hard drive? This doesn't seem to be causing a problem, but is a puzzle?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Jpeg shows up when previewing in safari, but not when viewed after uploading to browser. CS5

Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the jargon as someone else has set this up for me and I just make new pages based on the templates.
But I've just uploaded 9 new pages all with 9 small images linked to the corresponding 9 large images. All of them work except one, where I changed the image a couple of months afterwards. So now the 9 small images and it's corresponding large image come up with a blue question mark in Safari, and blank in Firefox. However when you save and click on Preview in Safari etc. it all works fine.
I've checked the jpeg names have no spaces and no caps. They're exactly the same length as the other jpeg names within that set of pages; nothing longer than 10 letters or numbers. Also they're both RGB as someone mentioned that could be a problem.
Everything else works fine in the pages and all links work.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

One more thing I noticed is the filename convention you've used.
It looks like this:

I'd recommend that you give a proper order for filenames - they make your job easier - i.e. evasion01.html could hold evasion01.jpg as main image filename and evasion01_t.jpg as thumbnail image filename. This varies with different people but this is the methodology I'd use. Or another easy way of doing it is to put your main images into works/evasion folder with filenames like 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc.. And put the thumbnails into works/evasion/thumbs with filenames like 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc...

PDF Searching using Adobe Acrobat Plugin Find Function in Safari

I currently incorporate the Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.1.2) plugin for viewing PDF files. I like using Safari for viewing PDFs within a web browser, but I find Safari's built-in Find function (open apple-F) inferior to Acrobat's ability to search for text within the PDF, as it never finds the words that I search for.
My question is: Is there an efficient built-in shortcut within Safari to search text within a PDF using Adobe Acrobat's plugin Find function? If not, is there a relatively easy, keyboard-based shortcut that could be made to direct the Find function to the Adobe Acrobat plugin Find function within Safari?
Thanks,
Ben

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

Email newsletter creation in FW. Not previewing in Mail (mac app).Ipreface

I'm total newb to Fireworks (but have extensive print design experience) so apologies if this is a silly question. I am required to produce an email newsletter and am using the exercise as a way of introducing myself to FW and DW and web design. My idea of the easiest way to do this (for me) was to produce something I could get into Safari and then use it's (nifty) Mail Contents of this Page… command to create the email in Mail Application.
If I import the content to FireWorks, it previews in Safari AoK but when I use Mail Contents of this Page… I get an email message full of image placemarkers with question marks in them (plugin style icons).
I know this feature (Mail Contents of this Page…) works for a lot of content I've tried it with including Dreamweaver content. I've tried a dozen or so work flows including exporting HTML and images from FW and opening that in Safari.
My workflow was InDesign --> export as flattened PDF (with layers) --> open in Photoshop and cut into individual images and Save for Web… --> import images from PS or whole flattened PDF direct to FW --> make slices over images (almost all the text is in spec fonts so is rendered out as images)
Any ideas for a sure-Fire(works) workflow to produce a glossy (X)HTML newsletter?
Any idea why the export from FW looks good in Safari but fails as a Mac Mail HTML message?
For now I'm emailing a link to the online PDF to ship on time but I very much wish to master HTML emails and an efficient workflow.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Fireworks is not an HTML authoring environment. Let me repeat that. Fireworks is not an HTML authoring environment!
The HTML export feature of Fireworks is so that you can produce a mockup of a Web design for approvals and such. The HTML is not robust. Couple that with the problem that email clients support a limited set of HTML and CSS and you have a recipe for disaster. When you write HTML newsletters you need to go about them in a slightly different way. But you still need to know your HTML.
HTML newsletters are tricky things. You can't expect a graphics program to produce something that's going to work. You can use Fireworks to design your newsletter. You can slice the design and export the items that will be graphics. But then, you should use Dreamweaver or a plain old text editor to write the HTML and CSS that will work well for email clients.
There are two HTML mailing services that also have lots of info on writing HTML newsletters. Check out the info they have on best practices and the limitations in clients:

Windows Media Player not working on CNN??

I have installed Windows Media Player 9 and the plug-in for it to work on Quicktime. On other websites it works (at least comes up) when clicking on videos. However, on CNN it says no player detected. Anyone have more info? I'm thinking maybe WMP doesn't work with Intel. I've tried reinstalling it several times.

windows media player works with intel through rosetta. the quicktime wmv plugin does not yet work on intel however. if you right click on safari under your applications and click "get info", there is a box you can check that allows you to open safari using rosetta. this should allow the windows media player plugin to work with safari, it will just be a lot slower. flip4mac is promising a native version of the quicktime component soon, so that should solve the problem for good when that comes out.

Videos will not play in safari either quicktime question mark of nothing

Hi everyone,
Initially I had an issue with Quicktime videos in Safari. - They would not play, all I got was a question mark infront of the video. Looking on these forums, appartently unchecking the misc. settings in MIME in QT preferences helps. Anoyingly I cannot actually uncheck those preferences, the mac won't let me. also, after reinstalling the flash update, and restarting etc, now all I get when I go to apple.com/trailers and try to play a video is the QT playback bar, but nothing else. It just stays there and does nothing. I am on broadband so speed is not an issue. how can I fix my issue? Thanks, Adam.

Hello to everyone! Sorry if I seem to be straying off topic. There are several related threads in this forum, the Safari 3 beta forum and also the Quicktime forum.
I have this problem as well - on my PowerBook G4, but not on my PowerMac G5... Specifically, in Safari on the Apple Special Event August 2007 page where we look for Steve to intro the new iMac, I see no button to push to display the stream. Just after the last word in the paragraph that the Play button should be under, there is a small active area that will bring up the stream on its web page (an invisible button), but when that happens, there is only the audio content. I have not tried the movie trailers, but these problems sound identical. So, this looks like several related symptoms - may be several problems or only one.
Everything works normally in FireFox.
Moving the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file to the desktop fixes this problem in Safari, but induces several other problems.
I have MacOSX 10.4.10 up to date, Quicktime 7.2.0, Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). DIVX web player 1.3.1 (p/o 6.6 package), Flash 9.0.47, etc... I have upgraded from many, many versions of Mac-OSX to the present.
I recently installed i-Life '08 on both computers.
I repaired permissions and sucecssfully verified my disk - no impact regarding this problem.
I reinstalled Quicktime - no resolution.
I am a knowledgable user - not expert, but quite knowledgable - I suspect that there is an internet plug-in conflict. Someone elsewhere in the discussion forum (Quicktime area, I think) also ventured that guess.
Here are my internet plug-ins for the problem PowerBook G4:
QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Quartz Composer.webplugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
Java Applet.plugin
RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
npUpload.xpt
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
npdivx.xpt
Windows Media Plugin
Disabled Plug-Ins
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Flash Player.plugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
Java Applet Plugin Enabler
ContentUploaderPlugin.plugin
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
DivXBrowserPlugin.plugin
NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
DRM Plugin.bundle
Don't know why the order is like it is - I displayed my directory, selected all and copied and pasted to get this list - sorting by date or name didn't alter the order of this list (hmmm - something to ponder on a dull day!).
I will post the plug-in list for my desktop that works correctly on Tuesday when I am back at the office.
That is all I know on this issue. Hope someone sees something useful here to help get to the bottom of this.
Brian
