QuickTime 7 update changes Safari browsing experience for 10.3.9 Panther

Dear friends,
If this topic has been covered already, please forgive this posting. I have searched the Message Board on this and only found one post (which was back in October). I am running 10.3.9 Panther, and after updating from QT 6 to QT 7, I am seeing some odd behaviors in Safari.
When I scroll up or down through a web page, the Flash or QT advertisements seem to "bob" up and down, and do not stay fixed in one place. (In fact, any QuickTime clip or Flash animation "bobs" up and down.) This is a definite change from my browsing experience when I had QT 6 installed (where everything was a fixed on the web page when I scrolled up or down). It is not the end of the world, but it is a bit annoying (especially since I will be experimenting with web development soon, and want to have an "accurate" view of my pages). Even movie trailers "bob" up and down when I select them from Apple's QT site.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what is going on from a technical standpoint? Thank you all for your time and efforts.
NOTE: I have also posted this on the Safari Discussions, but since this problem appears to stem from QuickTime 7 (at least, that's my working theory), I thought I would post here as well.

I installed iLife 06 on my G5 1.8 DP running OSX 10.3.9 Panther. It required the install of QuickTime 7.0.4. Now, in Safari everytime I want to listen to a music clip and get the QT pop up music player, when I close the QT window, it crashes Safari. I used the link posted in quite a few threads here to deinstall QT 7.0.4 (and revert to QT 7.0.1), and the Safari/QT problem is gone.However, I have now lost features in the various iLife programs which will only work with QT 7.0.4. If it is any consolation, this problem was NOT unique to OSX 10.3.9. I had the same problem on my G4 PowerBook 1.5 12" as well. The solution was the same, but, with the loss of features in iLife 06. Hopefully, Apple will come out with some update SOON which remedies this conflict.

How do i update my safari browser on macbook pro

how do i update my safari browser on my macbook pro?

If it's a version prior to 5.1.10, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences.
If it's version 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer's OS. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities. If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that, and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running. if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
good luck

Changing Safari Font Color for Visited Links

Is there a utility or some other way to change the color of visited links in Safari? The current blue/purple colors are very difficult to distinguish and I would like a more dramatic color change for visited links. Thank you for any help.

A website I go to frequently says I need to update my Safari browser. Help!

I have a MacBook Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website I go to frequently says it no longer supports my version of Safari. What do I need to do to update? Thank you!

You'll need to upgrade to a newer version of OS X or switch to a different browser.

How do I update/change the connect descriptor for a target RAC database in Cloud Control

I have Cloud Control 12c Release 3 set up and monitoring many hosts and targets. However when monitoring my RAC (2 nodes), it cannot connect to the database instances (although it shows them as up). I get the message "IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection". I can see that the connect descriptior is using the vip, rather than the hostname.
How can I update the connect descriptor within Cloud Control to the correct values?

Modify the monitoring configuration following the below listed note

IPhone library not updating changes after ios5 update.

I updated my iPhone4 to the new ios5 and now my music won't update changes I make. (For exampe: changed the name of the "artist" in the iphone library, added artwork, etc...). It says it "synced" but the changes aren't showing on the phone itself, just in the library when it is plugged into my computer. I set my music to be manually managed. Usually after making changes, the library would say "updating...this may take a few minutes" on the phone, but it is no longer doing that. Suggestions?

I found something that seemed to help
Go to Settings > Music, and turn off the "group by album artist" option. Once I did that, everything seemed to work fine. All the new music I added magically appeared in the "Artist" view inside the music app after that, and changes to tags actually apply now!

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6? Thanks to you from the UnTechie

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.

My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep poping in and key pages for me appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page. Updated last Safari version and problem prevailed. Tried downloading Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks.

I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
Thanks for your help.

The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

Updating Flash for Safari Browser

I am new to the iPod world and just bought an iPod touch. Love the thing just had one question, I am an avid Fantasy Football Geek and use yahoo, when I go into yahoo and try to use their stat-tracker that updates scores and stuff in real time, it says I have to update my flash player. Is there a way to do this through Itunes or through the safari browser?
Other than this small inconvenience I love my touch.

There is no Flash support for mobil Safari right now.

Recently my default program for opening any program changed to opening a safari browser for Dropbox. How do I set it back to iBooks?

On both my iPad (which had Dropbox) and my wife's (which does not) any file we click to open the current default is to open a safari browser and attempt to sign into Dropbox. I want to restore iBooks as my default but can't find any info on how. Any help out there is really appreciated!

Sorry for being vague. When I click to open a document in safari, rather than opening the document for me to view, it instead opens up a new window asking me to log into Dropbox to view the file. When I click and hold on link the file now starts with a drop box web address (regardless of website) forcing me to only use this avenue. I have cleared all cookies and data and still have this occur... Hence my comment that somehow Dropbox has become my default viewer for any files. This occurs on my iPad which has the application and my wife's which does not have the program but shares my Apple ID. I am trying to restore the default settings in safari to open documents in iBooks or other programs and not force me to use Dropbox.

Suggested procedure for safe updating of Safari to v. 3.2

If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Safari 3.2 for download can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the standard procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now both Tiger and Leopard uses Safari 3.2. If Safari 3.2 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as Safari 3.x uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back in a new thread for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.2.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to 2008-007, which is required for Safari 3.2. Like all security updates, these require a restart and a permission repair. Note that 2008-007 is a combo update: if you have missed a couple of updates this one will suffice.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Please do not respond to this post if you are having difficulties, or ask your questions in somebody else's thread, but start your own thread where your particular problem can get the full attention it deserves.

Bump.
Upgrading PithHelmet stopped my crashing.
