Popup problems on IE and Safari-I want my Power Bars. ;)

Hello All,
Trekbikes.com have an online scratch and win game and I have won power bars. I know, not much to brag about, but for some reason, the "winner's window" won't pop up automatically. Plus, when I click on the manual link, it leads me to their homepage. I think it's a popup blocker issue or so their link makes me think it is, but I can't figure out how to remove my popup blocker (I think I have one? I use Norton Anti-virus and can't seem to find anything to do with popup blockers).
btw, their link says this:
click here if your popup blocker prevented the prize window from opening.
Any help would be appreciated. btw, I use 10.2.8

Hi Lan!
I don't use IE, but, while in Safari, open the Preferences by depressing the Command and Comma keys.
Click on Security.
Uncheck: Block pop-up windows.
Close Preferences.
Good Luck! And Enjoy Your Power Bars!

Problems with Mail and Safari

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.11 and am having some consistent problems with Mail and Safari on my MacPro Dual 2.66. Here they are:
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, selecting these applications from the dock no longer opens the application (or a new window if already opened), but causes them to be revealed in the finder.
In Safari, when this problem occurs, another symptom seems to be that new windows will ONLY open in a new tab, even though I have preferences set to open links in a new window. If I click on a bookmark within a folder in the bookmark toolbar, Safari will open ALL the bookmarks in the folder in new tabs!!
In Mail, when I open my Inbox, clicking on various messages will highlight (in blue) ALL the messages I'm clicking on, instead of simply displaying the highlighted message in the reader.
The only way to get things back to normal is to reboot my machine, which is getting to be a total drag, especially since this seems to happen fairly often.
One other thing that may be related- if my screen saver is running, and I move the mouse to go to an active screen, the computer will "freeze." It stays like this indefinitely- I figured out that if I press the button on the machine itself it will go to sleep, and I can wake it up and then everything is fine, but I don't understand what's going on.
I have tried using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, and have used OnyX to clean out my system cache and aall sorts of other stuff, but to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing any of this? I'm starting to get really frustrated. Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Andrew

Scott,
I had posted earlier that I had Flash payer problems and then QuickTime and PDF preview problems too, on my Intel PowerMac. I could not figure out what the problem was, because fixing permissions and moving plugins did not work. Console indicated that the Quicktime components were not found, with the problem in a webkit pref file somewhere (nil field value). Anyway, I bailed and reinstalled Leopard from a 10.5.0 DVD, and then updated using the combo updater to 10.5.3. Everything worked. Then, after the 'Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 1', it all broke again. This time, repairing permissions resulted in:
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/lib/jvm.cfg", should be 0, user is 95.
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/classlist" , should be 0, user is 95.
Now it all works again. This is obviously a flaw with the Java update, and also somehow Disk Utility did not find it earlier. Anyway, take a look at reverting the Java update, or manually changing user for those files (I suppose user 0 is root, but maybe it is nobody).
Obscure....

Horizontal Menu problem in Firefox and Safari

I have created a Spry Widget horizontal menu bar in my
template .dwt. This menubar worked fine at first in IE7, Firefox3,
and Safari 3 and 4, but now that all pages are in place, it
displays incorrectly in Firefox and Safari. Specifically, for each
dropdown menu, only the final item appears. While creating the
pages, I did not make any changes to the template, so I am not sure
what caused this error.
www.davidarbury.com

You are not using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
    display: inline;
    f\loat: left;
    background: #FFF;
Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.

Problems with Chrome and Safari

About one week ago, I started having some issues with my mid-2012 MBP. After troubleshooting various items, I both reinstalled OSX and then erased the hard drive and reinstalled OSX. As far as I can tell, most of the minor issues were taken care of.
Two issues persist.
1. The thumbnail photos that accompany status updates in my Facebook News Feed are not showing up. It's either blank, or a broken photo symbol. This is happening intermittently in both Chrome and Safari. I should add, since the latest install of OSX, Chrome and Adobe Flash have been the only things I have downloaded. And the issue remained in Safari after the fresh install and before downloading Chrome, so I know this issue isn't Chrome related. (It also happens with the Test user profile I have in which there are no other programs.)
2. Along with (1), both Chrome and Safari have been partially or fully freezing. Again, this is intermittently. When the browsers freeze up, the Activity Monitor shows both Chrome and Safari as using over 100% of the CPU. It does not resolve itself in Chrome and requries a force quit. Safari has been resolving itself.
Like I said, I have already erased the hard drive and reinstalled OSX. I have also ran the Hardware Test and it found nothing; and my S.M.A.R.T. status is Verified. I have also reset the PRAM and resent the SMC.
Additionally, the newly downloaded Chrome is running as it is when downloaded from the site. That is, no extra plug-ins or extensions.
Anyone have any ideas about what the issues could be?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Problems with iChat and Safari

Yesterday I got to work and started up my beloved iMac G5, but iChat would not open and it gives me the following note: The application iChat quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.
I have tried to reopen and sent several reports to Apple but nothing has helped so far. It is also doing this with my Toast 7 and Safari will unexpectedly quit in the middle of an action.
Has any one else experienced this kind of problem? I'm running Tiger as an operating system and I'm the only one at the office that is having this problem. And my system at home, which is the same, if fine as well. I ran Disk Utility, which found a preference problem that it said it fixed. I haven't gone further yet, since I still need to actually USE my computer during work hours, but if anyone has an idea, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Find the program Pacifist online. Run it with your Tiger DVD in the machine (don't boot from it) and re-install iChat.
Let me know!

Problems with WiFi and Safari

I have am having problems with my Wifi/Safari. I connect to my WiFi, by entering my password, yet the padlock icon remains, is this normal? Then, when I try to get onto any website on Safari, it says 'Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.'
I have tried renewing the lease (not that it is a paid connection, this is my own personal Wifi connection), but that doesn't work either.
Any pointers?
Thanks.

Yes the padlock will stay locked and try getting on Youtube and see if that works because this happened to me and Youtube worked then later i found out that the website i had typed in was not a real website i had it typed in wrong so try that and i hope it works.

My early macbook air has problems with mail and safari

When I try to open either mail or safari, each crashes with a message "safari (or mail) quit unexpectedly. This is a very recent problem.

This article addresses Safari quitting unexpectedly and suggests a remedy: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11931
Yes, you have the latest Safari, so I believe this will help.

Flash Movie has problems in IE and Safari

Hi, my website's home page works like a charm in FireFox and
uses flashplayer to play, yet, in Internet Explorer and Safari, it
uses Shockwave to play everything. And at that, Shockwave doesn't
play it!
Will someone please check in one of these two browsers on
their computer to check whether it works for them?

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar width problem in IE and Safari

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a template and have used Spry Horizontal Menu for quite a few sites now. This one is giving me problems though on the width of the navigation bar. It moves the last right menu item to the next row on the left in Safari and IE and Chrome, but looks perfect in Firefox. I'm using a googlefont for the text. As I have quite a few menu items I have them set to 'auto' width. Is there a fix to make all the others look like it does in Firefox or do I need to shorten my menu items by changing titles/reducing padding, etc.?
Working page can be viewed at www.ikanizi.com/index2.html
Many thanks.

Anyone who increases their browser's text size will see the same thing. For wiggle room, reduce top-level links from 11 to no more than 7.

Mac Mini Printer Compatiblity Problems in Firefox and Safari

Can anyone recommend a printer brand that will allow me to print the content from Safari or Firefox? What a pain in the butt this is. I can't get either to print selected content off the Web, unless I save it as another document, and print it from that software. Both will show the full content in print preview, then spit out REAMS of blank paper, maybe with one sentence from the outside areas of the web page on it. I have been less than happy about how the printer options panel is set up, too. I have an older HP2100, and it has never worked well with my Mac Mini anyway, even after updating the driver, etc.
Mac Mini (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)
Mac Mini (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Although I have no great love for HP printers I'm not sure that's the problem. Printing directly from a browser is usually a crap-shoot regardless of the printer. There's a lot of stuff "behind the scenes" that you can't see but the computer does. I've gotten to the point that I rarely print from either of my browsers - Safari & FireFox - I'd much rather clean it up first rather than take a chance [likelihood] of wasting time & paper as well as ink.

Problems with keychain and safari

Ever since I hooked uo my wireless router I am prompted to enter in a keychain password when I use safari. Problem is my administartors password does not work. I can stay on safari but get kicked off of p2p networks.
I have tried to turn my keychain access off but I can not unlock the keychain access. I have booted up the install disk, and reset the admin password, but that does not reset the keychain password.
How can I turn off and/or reset the password.

wait.. do you have WEP enabled on you router? If so that is probably a seperate pass from your usual keychain password which is usually your login pass.
When WEP is enabled you are asked for a pass to connect to the wireless network. If that is the case you have to remember the pass you used to set it up or find the person that set it up for you so you can connect.
Good luck...

Problems with apps and safari since installing Yosemite

I could have shot myself after installing Maverick when it cam out but after a zillion updates and finally a 100 mile drive to the nearest Apple store and the genius bar it seemed to be working fine. I dreaded installing Yosemite but as I have and iPad mini, and Yosemite is billed to work more harmoniously with that, I did the download. Since then and even following the recent 'update', opening Safari takes forever, I get the rainbow wheel of doom. There is frequently a delay between my typing (about 35 words per minute) and actually seeing the curser and letters on screen, and often webpages just dump. Other times, apps or webpages will just spontaneously pop open. Sometimes Safari can't connect to pages. Not my wifi as if I just choose another page it is fine. I am actually back to using Chrome because I don't seem to have the same problems as with Safari..... go figure. 5 years ago after years of pc's and the frustration of having hardware and software that were specifically made for each other, I thru in the towel and paid the bucks for a MacPro laptop and I loved my first three years. Now, my machine ***** as does Safari!! an Apple app! I feel like I need to debug, but I don't have any thing like MacKeeper on it now (the Genius bar guy took MacKeeper off when I had that visit to solve the Maverick problems). I'm tempted to reinstall it but I read so many posts saying that folks had problems with a virus that they attributed to MacKeeper. So, anyone else having these same problems and can anyone recommend a good cleanup and maintenance software so I can clean this up?

Do not install MacKeeper.
Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
Determine if the same problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Problems with iWebsite and Safari

Hi,
Lately I've been having problems with my site on Safari (Version 2.0.4). The site I have is for my band and everything loads fine except for the music clips. I've had this site up since February and only started having this problem within the last month. It works fine on Firefox (Version 1.5.0.4) and even on Exporer (Version 5.2).
Here's a link to a problem page.
http://www.crashcontrol.ca/Critical.html
So the whole page loads fine except for the song at the bottom. I just get a Quicktime symbol and a question mark. I've tried clearing the caches and resetting Safari (which did work once a few weeks ago)but no luck. I haven't updated these song pages in iWeb (Version 1.1.2) in a while and they use to play fine in Safari.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

hi dave,
so first of all, when there is a question mark, it means that the file is missing! it is not at the place where it should be or it simply no there. check over that the file is where it should be!
second, i just visited (under safari 2.0.4) the link you gave:
http://www.crashcontrol.ca/Critical.html
and the file just loads normal here, i tried all the others and ALL of the under MUSIC work!
so you do might wanna empty your cache again!

Problems with youtube and safari 5.0.5

When I try to download a .flv video from youtube using the command+option+A and get the activity window and double click the video it now opens a tab and plays it in the new tab but no longer downloads the file. I haven't done this in awhile and just tried it after updating Safari to 5.0.5 and was wondering if its Safari, Youtube or even flash that is preventing me from downloading the video? Anyone else have this problem? Before now it use to work all the time. I have googled it and I have found nothing on this.

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a .flv file. If it downloads the file as it should then move the .plist file to the Trash, otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, back to the Finder window, Home folder, Library / Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Restart Safari. Try again.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension causing a conflict. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari, try again.

Problems with java and Safari

i have a mack G3 i book .... OSX 10.3.9 safari keeps quitting at random - so does firefox and java chat keeps freezing !!! very frustrating what can i do to sort this ? any help offerd with be greatly appreciated ....

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately there is no one Java standard out there and many Java websites break on the web when you don't have the standard they have. My FAQ* here should help you somewhat in both isolating the buggy sites, and telling them nicely they should avoid using non-standard web creation material, while at the same time, hopefully find you a web browser you can use to browse each site you want:
