Plug-in failure in safari after upgrading to lion

after upgrading to lion, seems like there is a plug-in issue - not sure if it's in safari or quicktime (i think the former). any idea on how to fix so you can view quicktime videos on web? already tried to reload latest (version 11) adobe flash without success.

This problem just hit me.
I have just spent 3 hours trying every combo of Flash and Java install/uninstall in order to get video on Safari on MBPr with ML. There are various posts on this issues going back thought several OSs.
Flash 10.3 can make it work on Firefox, but that is likely to be a security hazard, acccording to Apple, so was not ideal. I tried everything that I could find on line.
Nothing would make Safari function... then I hit on a simple solution. I keep a clone of my HDD via Carbon Copy Cloner (although Time Machine should work too). I trashed all the /Library/Internet Plugins, and replaced them with those from the clone, which was a couple of days old. I repaired permissions (there were quite a few to do from this), but then... back to normal.
Good luck!

Quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and get a quicktime "plug-in failure" in safari 8.0.5 when playing mov files at http://www.time-science.com/timescience/timelapse.asp

So it's something unique to my setup
I wonder how to fix it.
Tried uninstalling adobe flash, restarting and reinstalling as I noticed that idea in some web searching
This is what I get for the "Flowers":
Sorenson Video 3 is a legacy codec that is only passively supported under Yosemite. QT 7 and the QT browser plug-in can still play this content. However, QT 7 Pro can only export to this compression format if the codec is turned back on by the user. (I.e., active QT export support of the "legacy" codecs was turned off under Lion.) Further, Sorenson Video 3 is neither QT X or QL "playback" compatible but can be converted natively by QT Player v10.4 if desired.
Not sure if your error message is supposed to indicate that the QT browser plug-in is missing or is simply corrupted. Problem could also be in the way the web site is coded to play the files but I am not a site programmer so it would do me little good to examine the code use. On the other hand, I do already have a "Test" web site set up for a user trying to get his files to play in an older version of Safari so I added test pages for the Sorenson files from the site you referenced. See if you can play them from my alternate test pages. If they play there, then the problem may be site, otherwise, if they still don't play, you may need to reinstall the browser software.

Having Font Issues In Safari After Upgrading To Leopard

So...i'm having some font issues in Safari after upgrading to Leopard....
It works fine on my desktop but not on my laptop. They both run on Leopard.
Also, it works in Firefox but not Safari.
Here's some screens of what it looks like. This only pertains to any site that uses this font and it isn't uncommon, (sites like google, yahoo, and the WoW Forums)
http://i21.tinypic.com/1z6cwsx.jpg
zoom in to see what i'm talking about, it's really messed up on the full screen
Font settings:

Another pic of what it looks like on Google:
http://i24.tinypic.com/rmsjz8.jpg
Anyways...any idea on how I can fix this?

I disabled the stencil font and deleted it. No luck here.
I ran a font validation check and this is what showed up, don't know if this means anything.

Safari behaves strangely after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion, Safari is behaving strangely. When re-opening Safari after quitting, all windows from previous session re-opens. It didn't used to happen and also quite annoying. How can that be fixed? I only want my homepage to open, if I individually quit the windows by the red x-button, and then quite Safari normally, it opens up as priviously. Any ideas?
thanks

It is one of the over 250 new features of the World's Most Advanced Operating System called Resume.
If this is all that's bothering you just close all windows before quitting Safari or hold Shift when you launch Safari
If the whole resume thing is overbearing then...
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
YOu can aslo accomplish this thriugh the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file/
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
The reverse of the second one is
chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

Problem with colors after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I could no longer distinguish between very light greys (e.g., #f8f8f8) and white (#ffffff) on my laptop monitor. The difference is readily apparent on many websites.
If I plug my laptop into an external monitor, the problem goes away, and stays away even AFTER unplugging it.
Neither recalibrating the color profile nor rebooting have any effect.
Any ideas?

iPhoto is not part of Lion. It comes with a Mac. So, the version you own is the one that came with your Mac. If you want the newest version, you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.

Significant slowdown of Time Machine after upgrade to Lion; indexing problem

After upgrading to Lion over the weekend I notice a significant slowdown of Time Machine processing. I assumed the first backup or two would take some time but it's been a couple of days. The process always hangs up at the "Indexing backup" stage. It takes a couple of hours to finish.
I found several threads relating to slowed down backups on Lion, most seem to hang at the "Preparing" stage (not the same symptom) but I did find some good diagnostic pointers. I installed the widget to see what kind of messages were being produced and found a few dozen "Waiting for index to be ready (100)" messages at the end of the stream. Further research - this is not a good thing :-) It seems a couple of such messages can be ok, but this many usually indicates a problem. I'm going to discount the possibility of a hardware failure because everything was perfectly fine up to the point I made the upgrade. Plus the prepare and copy seem to proceed at the expected speed (I watched the most recent cycle just to be sure).
Here is the full message log (it's still running at the moment):

I further found the advice and instructions on how to run the disk utility on the sparsebundle. I did a verify and repair, and the results came back that the drive appears to be ok (it did not say that it explicitly repaired anything).
But the problem remains.
I use a 1TB Time Capsule with plenty of free capacity (only half full). The TC and my MacBook are both hardwired into the home network, networking speed has never been an issue.
I'd sure hate to delete the backup file and start from scratch, there's over a year's worth of data there and I have, occassionally, wanted to go in there and pick up a downlevel or subsequently deleted file.
Any advice on other diagnostics or repair options to take? Thanks!
Paul

After posting I decided to keep trying to slog my way through the troubleshooting guide. Some of the steps are beyond my understanding but I did follow the advice in #D2 to delete the .Spotlight-V100 file from the sparsebundle. That action does seem to have done the trick, the backups are now completing in normal time. I ran a couple just to be sure. I've verified the backups with BackupLoupe and entered the Time Machine, all appears to be in order and as expected. The only odd side effect is that the backup volume is no longer ejected after completion but that might just be an artifact of all my mounting/de-mounting and playing with Finder. Anyway a very small price to pay for what looks to be a working system again.
Hopefully the good behavior will last through a few days and a few reboots :-)

Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion

Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?

I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
According to this webpage: http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
@iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing?

Another "horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post

Hi,
Sorry for yet another "my computer has horrible performance after upgrading to Lion" post. I did search the forum before posting.
I have a relatively new Macbook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 2.8 MHz Intel i7 CPU. I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, then Lion to 10.7.2.
The first time I upgraded, I no longer had my user account, so restored from Time Machine back to SL. After a month or so, I hoped Apple had fixed the bug, so I redownloaded and reinstalled, and this time the upgrade succeeded.
Ever since the upgrade, my MBP runs like a dog. I get the spinning beach ball constantly, across all range of applications, both Apple and 3rd party. Occasionally it doesn't wake up from sleep (close, open lid) and I have to kick it in the head by holding down the power button.
I've tried booting into the recovery partition, running disk utility, and repairing disk and permissions. I've read elsewhere (Google hit) that doing a completely clean install fixes the performance issues (for those users anyway).
I know this is a fairly generic post, but any advice on how to maximize machine performance under Lion, or should I revert to Snow Leopard? Do I really have to wipe the disk, install fresh, restore all non-OS files (don't accidentally wipe a required OS file), then reapply the 10.7.2 maintenance? Yuck.
Thanks,
Scott

try an SMC reset if you are not seeing any weird spikes in Activity Monitor and you've deduced that none of your third party drivers or apps are interfearing with the way lion works.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
(I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
please help out this case and solve this issue.
thank you !!!

The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

After upgrading to Lion, wifi seems to be much slower, is this caused by lion?

Hello All,
After upgrading to Lion, my MMA wifi seems to work much slower than before, and also the start up seems to be slower too. Is that caused by upgrading to Lion? Please help

Give it a few days and a dozen or so restarts.
The software may be updating Spotlight indexing and a few other "housekeeping" tasks.
My upgrade on a 2010 Air resulted in a slowdown at first, but then began to return to normal. At first, the boot time doubled, but within a couple of days, it was back to a 12 second boot.

After upgrading to lion Time Capsule is solid yellow

Hi
After upgrading to lion I am experiencing a lot of problems with time caspule
1. backup fail: it starts and than fails (error message and yellow warning triangle)
2. unable to connect to TC disk, neither from airport utility, nor from Finder
3. Airport Utility hangs while trying to manually modify configuration (rainbow weel).
After a lot of reboot, reset, disk rename, time capsule reconfiguration etc etc AND TC DISK REINITIALIZATION (ALLA BACKUP LOST!)
now backup seems to work and I can browse files in Time Machine
BUT
Time Capsule is a steady YELLOW and Airport utility says there is an error on disk (The disk is not working)
Can somebody help me.
This all happened after Lion installation. Not a problem before
Franco

Hi William
The disk is the internal Time Capsule Disk. It's a 1Tb model.
My iMac is localized in Italian
So I write here the Italian message and a possible translation
The first error message I get opening Airport Utility is:
Utility Airport ha trovato una Time Capsule 802.11n (2.a generazione) che segnala problemi
(AirPort Utility has found a Time Capsule 802.11n (2nd generation), which indicates problems)
If I press on "Continue" I enter a page that says
"Problema 1 di 1: Il disco Time Capsule non funziona"
(Problem 1 of 1: The Time Capsule Disk doesn't work)
"Si è verificato un problema con il Disco Time Capsule. Collega un disco rigido USB al tuo disco Time Capsule e utilizza il pannello Dischi di Utility Airport per archiviare i dati ed eseguire il backup."
(There was a problem with the Time Capsule disk. Connect a USB hard drive to your Time Capsule disk and use Disk Utility Airport panel to store data and run the backup.)
While if I go to the manual settings and I select the disk,
on the disk data info I have
Stato S.M.A.R.T.: Non funziona
(S.M.A.R.T status: Not working)
As I said before, apart from that problem, everything else (time machine, backups and file recovery) looks working good (until proven otherwise eh eh)
I don't know if to worry about the disk but I find suspicious that everything just started after Lion installation.
I called the call center and they just said to return the TC for disk repair (have to pay, warranty expired).
I told them about Lion installation fact and they said it looks like a coincidence but actually it is likely that after a disk initialization or a big amount of data writing the TC disk may break (WHAT ?!?) and the Apple guy even suggested me to buy an external disk that is less expensive and give less problem than a TC !!!!
(I can agree on that now, but I was surprised to hear that from them )
Thank you very much for any help.
I hope this info helps
