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.

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!!!!!

Adobe Flash Player does not work with Safari. What can I do?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, late 2013, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, using OS X 10.9.4. I have installed Adobe Flash Player. In my System Preference, in the advanced settings, it is set to install updates also tells me that I have the NPAPI Plug-in (version 14.0.0.145) installed but not the PPAPI Plug-in. Is this the reason why it does not work with Safari (keeps telling me to download the app, which I did but still does not work)? Is there any way I could fix the problem? Please, help.
Thanks.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Why hyperlink color change not working with Safari?

With several sites I visit when I click on their text link lists I see a colored symbol change to let remind me I visited that site. Unfortunately this only works when I use Firefox or IE, not Safari. Is there a reason this does not work with Safari? Is there anything I can do? thanks.

Two-finger pinch zoom not working with safari

Suddenly, the two-finger pinch to zoom is not working with Safari. MBP 13", SL 10.6.8 andf Safari 5.1. The View Menu Zoom control works fine, and the Pinch gesture works once thereafter, but then not. I have reloaded the Safari .plist. Gesture works with the Desktop icons and iPhoto. Any suggestions?
TIA
Picman

Ditto with the Newsstand-blocks-the-Home-Screen bug.
I was eager to see the revised New York Times layout and disappointed when Newsstand wouldn't pinch closed.
The irony is, we can finally "hide" the Newsstand in a folder but now it takes over our Home Screens. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the first update.

Flash not working with Safari

I have Safari 5.1 and Lion. Flash will not work in Safari. I have the latest version (I uninstalled the previous version of Flash then installed latest version) Have done Disk Repair, changed Safari to 32 bit mode. Still I just get the message
"Cannot play media.You do not have the correct version of the flash player"
I have Opera, Chrome and Firefox and all play flash. Any ideas - apart from not using Safari!
Thanks

Please see this thread for a solution that worked for me:

Display PDF in browser not working with Customization Wizard

I used the Customization Wizard to generate a transform. One of the settings I specified was to display the PDF in the browser. The checkbox is checked, both in the Customization Wizard Console and in Acrobat's Preferences dialog after the installation completes on a clean workstation. Yet, the PDFs all display in a separately launched Acrobat session. They continue to do so until the user brings up the Preferences dialog, clears the checkbox and then rechecks it. When that is done, the installer dialog runs briefly (like something else is getting installed) and then Acrobat behaves as desired.
Any help would be appreciated!

One workaround for getting Dreamweaver to work with Firefox 3.6 is Automator. I was reading a mozilla users thread about this; mozilla considers the new way better (no spaces or special characters in path names). I tried this, but still had problems. But, the following Automator app does works for me.
First, if you haven't already, set the default broswer in Safari's preferences to Firefox.
Open Automator and set up the following workflow:
Get Specified Finder Items - add the DW doc you want to preview in Firefox.
Display Webpages - this opens Safari (or the default broswer set in Safari's prefences).
Save the workflow as an application (ex: StandardBrowser.app)
Add the new app to the DW browser list.
The path (Get Specified Finder Items) needs to be edited for each page you want to preview. I suppose you could create an Automator app for each page and add them to the browser list, but I prefer to just edit the Automator app for each page. Just reopen the app in Automator and add a new path to Get Specified Finder Items.
The poster who gave me this tip said on his 10.6 machine that step one will work just by itself and that step two will work just by itself. Neither one of the one step solutions worked for me (10.5), but the two step Automator app above does.

Dreamweaver CC: Preview in Browser Not Working

I am new to Dreamweaver CC, but I've used other versions of Dreamweaver extensively.
Since I've installed CC, by Preview in Browser has not worked. When I click it, and choose my browser (this issue occurs with ANY browser I choose), it opens my chosen browser and then tells me the page cannot be found. I know the issue is where DW is pointing my browser. For example, if i'm working in my contact.php file in DW and tell it to preview in broswer, the address that shows up in my search bar is "contact.php/"
Now obviously, that won't point my browser to any usable address. So how do I fix the issue? I've tried looking through all kinds of settings but have found nothing.
Someone please help me!

You realize you must have a local testing server installed and defined in your Site settings in order to preview PHP pages, right?
Which Local Testing Server are you using?
Is it running?
Do you have it pointing to your localhost? See screenshots:
Servers: Basic Tab
Servers: Advanced tab

Why is YouTube not working with Safari all the sudden?

At first I thought it was a problem with YouTube's site because a lot of videos were not loading up (thumbnails). Then I noticed that I could not comment on a video, nor could I "Like" a video. I can't even logout either! I am still using Safari 5.1.10.
I loaded up Youtube on my Firefox browser and it came right up! I could leave comments, logout and back in, like a video and share it on Facebook! So there is definitely something wrong with Youtube working with the Safari browser or perhaps mine is just outdated maybe?

Javascript time counters not working with Safari 5.1.4

New Safari 5.1.4 made my website javascript time counters frozen and not working. I am using jQuery library on my site.
You can see the preview of the problemhere: http://headiil.ee/
What is the problem with this new Safari update and how can it be solved?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

5k retina display - scroll not working with Safari (both magic mouse and trackpad)

Hi,
suddenly my trackpad and magic mouse stopped working with scrolling (most annoying one) and other gestures.
I recently bought the iMAC 5K retina display and was not expecting this by any means...
I have a ton of tabs open on safari and simply "refuse" to try the old windows way of rebooting the machine...
I have to use the arrow keys to scroll down... this is insane
could you please advise? am I missing something?
many thanks

Just found out the reason I couldn't get the two to play nicely. I had connected my keyboard and trackpad using a "Magic Wand" which looked great. Unfortunately the magic wand had a connecting piece to fill in the gap between the two pieces and this was preventing the little pads underneath the trackpad clicking. So I can only guess that because the trackpad couldn't click it thought it was stuck and therefore also locked up the mouse. I've remove the connector and both pieces work perfectly together!

Welcome to Discussions, Michael Pane
Depending on system configuration and installed third-party items, various users have reported different methods of restoring Flash video website functionality:
(1) For those who have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.
If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. (not your *Home > Library* folder)
Other users confirm that using the Google uninstaller works, including your post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12618888#12618888
Some other users, including those who do not use the Google plugins, have found other remedies.
(2) User joew13 reports that installing the 64-bit Flash plug-in beta for Mac OS X (DMG, 8.7 MB)
fixed Flash sites for him.
This link allows download of the 64-bit plugin beta from an official Adobe page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
or, to download the beta directly, click this link--> http://tinyurl.com/2frejs4
Several other users have confirmed success after the beta update.
(3) User imagerle downgraded Flash to version 10,0,45,2 to restore Flash video.
If this older version is not available on a backup or an old install disk, it can be downloaded from Adobe's Archived Flash Players page:
