Plug in for Safari?

Hello
I know that configuring the pop-up blocker in Safari is not possible. I really enjoy using Safari as it seems to work better on my laptop then Firefox. However, I really need a way to allow pop-ups from specific sources.
My question is this: Does anyone know of an add-on or plug-in that would act as a pop-up blocker that I can configure? That way, I can turn off Safari's built in blocker, and use the third party add-on instead.
I would appreciate anything you can think of, or even just a lead on a possible plug-in/add on. Thanks so much!!

There might be something like what you're looking for that I'm not aware of. If so, I'm sure someone will post with that information.
In the meantime, though, does it help to know that the keyboard shortcut Command-K (The Apple key plus the K key) toggles the pop-up blocker on and off in Safari? I find it's easy to just hit Command-K when I'm on a site where I need to allow pop-ups, then hit Command-K again when I leave that site. (You can check whether the pop-up blocker is on or off by clicking on the Safari menu. A checkmark next to "Block Pop-Up Windows" means the block is active; no checkmark means pop-ups are currently allowed.)
I know it's not a perfect solution. It might help until you find something more sophisticated, though.

Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.

So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.

There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Make sure: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Disabling Adobe Reader XI's Plug-In for Safari Does Not Require Access to OS X's 'Root' Account

Why do the instructions for disabling the Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari say that one needs to do so from OS X's root account even though one only needs to authenticate using their administrator password to do so?

[iPhone] How to make a plug-in for Safari?

Hi!
Is there an ability to create a plug-in for Safari on iPhone, which could interact with user (have several buttons and could open webpages with Safari)?
If so, please, tell in a few words, how this plug-in can be implemented, which documents have useful information related to this, or even if there any source code examples with similar functionality?
Thanks.

This is odd because in the settings for Safari on the iPhone is the ability to turn plugins on and off. If they didn't allow plugins to be written for Safari on the iPhone then why give the ability to turn plugins off?

HT201066 There is no QuickTime or any other plug-in for Safari anymore!!

I'm going back to a Windows PC if I can't listen to music on the Internet anymore. I've looked everywhere for a decent plug-in to listen to MP3 files, or any music files, and it doesn't seem to exist. Yet a Windows 8 machine comes with a plug-in to the Explorer from the factory. QuickTime never sounded great to begin with, but to totally take any media away from the browser isn't a good idea. Windows Media used to have a plug-in for Safari, and that cannot be found with an Internet search, either.

Of course there is no plug-in, I don't have one. Plugin missing. I'm trying to get one installed. I have iTunes, RealPlayer, and QuickTime that plays any music file I have on my hard drive. None has an option to install the plug-in to the browser.

Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

Hi all,
I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
Thanks,
Tim

The issue is that it's how you have it setup for PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

Windows Media Plug in for Safari?

I have been trying to play Windows Media Player clips inside certain webpages and nothing works unless I download them to the desktop and open it with VLC. I have Windows Media Player 9, but it's still not working properly in Safari. Do I need a specific plug in for Windows Media Player? If so, where do I get it. Thanks, -Brian

Try reinstalling the Media player. That usually installs the plugin it needs for safari.

Missing Plug-ins for Safari?

OK this is exhausting!
After downloading Adobe Reader I'm unable to open PDF's as it claims Plug-ins are missing?
Where do I find them, how is this resolved and is there an alternative to adobe?
why is there no customer service phone number??
Please help

There are no plug-ins for iOS Safari. Are you actually using a Mac?
You want a phone number for support on FREE software? That's optimistic.

Inquisitor plug-in for Safari - Google bug

Hi.
I've been using Inquisitor for Safari for a while now. Recently, out of the blue as far as I can tell, Safari stopped loading pages after running for a little while (the loading bar would fill a little and then nothing would happen, as if my internet connection was faulty - only it's not, since another browser worked just fine at the same time).
I tried the Empty Cache/Reset Safari, but it didn't help. Also, repairing disk permissions and trashing preferences did nothing.
I discovered that using Google as the search engine in Inquisitor is the cuase of the problem. I then switched to Yahoo and all seems well again.
Did anybody else experience this? Did you find a solution to it, other than switching to Yahoo? (I'd like to keep using Google)

Shame our over-enthusiastic mods edited out your first link.
Yes, though I did ask them to put it back, but no reply yet, if ever. I thought it was being considerate to not post a 295-character URL for it and use a tinyurl instead. Still, for those that want 3.0 (v47), you can open a download window and paste in this whole line (don't click on it):

Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari can't find Adobe Reader

I keep Adobe Reader.app in Applications/Local-A/PDF Software. When I try to open a PDF in Safari (5.0.3), the plug-in can't find the reader. I have to point it there each time I open Safari. I would have thought it would know where to look after the first time, but it doesn't. How do I permanently tell the plug-in where to look?

Hi,
Default install of Adobe Reader X package has Browser plug-in checked for install. Did you customize your installation and unchecked this option which indicates you dont want to install browser plug-in. Other possibility could be that you are using both Reader 9 and Reader X in your system and after Reader X install, you have updated Reader 9 assuming updating 9.4.0 to 9.4.1. This will change the plug-in version back to 9.4.1 (latest update).
One way to have version X is rerun Reader X installer and it will repair your plug-in to version 10.0.0. As an advise do not use both Reader 9 and Reader X in same system (though this is possible). You can simply delete version 9 application and continue working with Reader X installed.
Secondly to answer your question that Safari keeps on asking to choose Reader application, what you can do is open com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist in /Library/Preferences in any plist viewer. It should have a key - WebBrowserUsePath. This should be pointing to correct reader application on your system. Normally its value is something like - file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
In your case you have moved Adobe Reader.app to /Applications/Local-A/PDF Software/Adobe Reader.app
So change the value of this key to point to correct application. Here it should be - file://localhost/Applications/Local-A/PDF%20Software/Adobe%20Reader.app/
This will ensure that Safari does not prompt you again.
Thanks,
Karan

Missing plug in for Safari.

Two weeks ago safari just stopped showing parts of my automobilemag, caranddriver, motortrend and roadandtrack web pages. Says that I am missing a plug in. Tried to update my version of adobe software and eventually removed it and reinstalled and still i'm missing the plugin and cant see these pages. Anyone encountered this issue. It was out of the blue with no manual system changes or new software installs. Using windows 7 64 bit and all software on the computer is up to date including the 64 bit beta versions of adobe.

Since you posted in the Safari for Mac forum, I assume you are referring to the Safari browser that runs on Mac.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure Java and Enable plug-ins are selected.
On the other hand, if you mean Safari on an iPad, I'm not sure which plugin the game requires.
It would help if you posted the link to the game.

Uninstalling bad plug-ins for Safari

Hi ...
Could be the flashback trojan.. if it is, it's not difficult to remove.
Install this update > Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
That should remove variants of the trojan. Restart your Mac after the update is installed, try Safari.
If it still crashes, run this removal tool > Flashback Removal Tool - F-Secure Weblog : News from the Lab
If that didn't help at all, check out these folders > ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
If you see that plugin, move it to the Trash.
When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. The more details you provide, the easier to help you

Missing Plug-ins for Safari 4.0.3

I am receiving error messages from certain websites that state that the content contains MIME-type applications and suggests downloading an application such as Adobe Flash player, etc. I have tried to download Adobe Flash player several times but it is not showing up as an installed plug-in when I go to the help menu and click on "installed plug-ins". The subsequent window shows that no plug-ins are installed at all. I also have a Mac-Mini and Macbook that I have used to cross reference with and they have several plug-ins listed when I look at "installed plug-ins". I have already reinstalled Safari to no avail. Any suggestions as to why they might be missing on my iMac or any suggestions on how to restore them (Adobe, Shockwave, etc).

Greetings,
Are you running Mac OS X 10.5.8 as your profile states? If not, update your profile so it's accurate. There is no reason you should be deleting or reinstalling Safari; that is not the problem. You already have Flash installed, so there is no reason to install it again, unless you were upgrading the version, which would then require you to uninstall it first.
Have you tried re-setting Safari, as well as using Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions and then restarting Safari to see if the problem continues? Have you tried creating a new User account and testing for this problem there? If not, do that, too.
