Quicktime Plugin Issue in Safari on Mac OSX Lion.

(Strange) Safari - Quicktime - issue on Mac OSX Lion (All Updates done - 20/11/2011)
Strange issue with Safari - Quicktime video playing - on Mac OSX Lion (All updates done till 20th Nov 2011 night)
Problem discovery: Tried to view the Apple iPhone 4S Keynote on Apple Website. Strange that Safari does not display any videos from Apple Website.
Following works OK:- You Tube worked fine.
- Google Chrome worked fine. (It shows the quick time player loading and then displays the video absolutely fine.)
Conclusion: There is some problem with Safari Quicktime Plug-in.
Strange Discovery:
- There are two users on the MAC. Logged in with a general user (Non Admin)
- When tried to view Apple Videos on Safary ... THEY WORKED FINE !!! 
- The user where they donot work is an ADMIN User ... Strange !!!
System:
- Mac-Mini 2010 - 8 GB RAM - with OSX Lion fully software updated until 20th Nov 2011 night.
- DIVX is installed and is also a paid version - registered with DIVX website.
- VLC is installed.
- Perian was installed - after problem discovery - uninstalled it - no use.
Please help with a solution if anyone has faced and solved this problem. Sub question is : If DIVX / anyother plug-in causes problems with QuickTime plugin on Safari, why does it affect only one user on the system and not other users on that system ?
Notes:
1) There is a similar looking thread on MacRumors here but concluded that required to start a seperate one with clear problem statement.
2) Apple Forums
(a) One thread on topic that hints that some 3IVX plug-in can cause issues with Safari Quicktime Plugin: here
(b) Another thread from Apple Forum, that hints that DIVX causes problems to Safari Quicktime Plug in, Link is Here

Refer to a thread on Apple Discussions Forum itself, Link is HERE; refer to the posting by "Charles Cole",

Charles writes about DIVX and QuickTime Plugin conflict in Safari:
One thing I've discovered that might help anyone having a Quicktime Plug-in issue. If you have DivX as a codec on your system (usually installed to play .avi files) you'll want to uninstall it so that Sarfari 5.1 will default to the Quicktime Plug-In and not the DivX plug-in. Otherwise, you can't see Quicktime movies in Safari.
Note: this post is about and at the time of OSX Lions launch, i.e. 10.7.0.
Now we have 10.7.2, still cannot believe Apple has not fixed this bug !!!

  • Corrupted disk issues between iMacs and Mac OSX Lion

    My iMac can't boot up, because it started to fill a black bar at the bottom of the screen and it suddenly disappears. Tried to repair my disk but Disk Utility said "the disk cannot be repaired". So I formatted twice and made a brand new installation, and the same problem returned. I went to the apple support and they said that a bunch of iMacs were having the same issue, and told me to stay at snow leopard until a fix was realeased. Is this normal to iMac self-corruption? Or is just a real Lion problem?

  • Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

    I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

    I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
    once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

  • I'm having an issue on All ADOBE reader/flasher player opening window on Mac OSX Lion

    I have tons of error when i'm openning Adobe reader/Adober flash player/Adobe application manager. When i went check out the Library/Adobe appiication support, it's missing and i can't get it to open. What are the solution to make this work. Cause i really wanna to download Adobe photoshop trial install and open it, but i keep on getting error all the time. What can i do to resolve this issue on my mac osx Lion 10.7.5 version? Any suggestion?

    Could you try switching back to the PPAPI version of the plugin to see if that helps (reversing the steps outlined in the FAQ below)?  From what we've learned, this only effects the NPAPI version and the PPAPI version should display fonts correctly.

    We are working with Google to get this fixed asap.

  • Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

    We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
    About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
    Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
    I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
    She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
    Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
    We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
    I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
    You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
    My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
    First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
    More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
    Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
    I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

  • When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. This does not happen in Safari. (Mac OSX 10

    When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
    This does not happen in Safari.
    (Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

  • When will you optimize Firefox for Mac OSX Lion?

    Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

    No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

  • I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2. My problem is I can't search on an external network server for a file with the finder toolbar anymore. Nothing shows up and it will not search. I was able to in snow-leopard and am no longer able to w. Lion. Suggestions?

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.

  • Failed to load preferences error on upgrade of Anyconnect to 3.0.3054 on my MAC OSX LION 10.7.1

    Hi Folks,
    Since the upgrade of Anyconnect to 3.0.3054 on my MAC OSX LION 10.7.1, i have been getting
    failed to load preferences error. During the upgrade the vpn connection get established, but once
    i disconnect and try to connect again its starts bombing on "failed to load preferences". For now
    i keep uninstalling anyconnect and reinstall an older version which while autoupgrading to 3.0.3054
    is able to connect for the first time. Its getting very painful. Any help from the support team will be
    appreciated!

    I had the same issue and it is due to corrupted preferences.xml file under /opt/cisco/vpn/profile directory. Easy way to fix is uninstall the client and remove the profile directory under /opt/cisco/vpn. Removing the profile directory requires a root access on MAC OS X.

  • My wordpress home page will not display any active information in Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion.

    Hey All,
    I've tried many things to resolve this issue, but none of them seem to be working. For some time now I have not been able to see the homepage of wordpress.com with full information i.e. stats, notifications, etc. I'm running Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion with the following settings and add-ons. I've tried disabling the various privacy add-ons one-by-one to no avail. Please help!

    The only active thing I see on that page is the banner near the top which keeps changing: "For the cat pictures", "For the poet", etc. Do you not see that? I did not see any link for "Home". Try these pages:

    What's wrong here? I can't aford to upgrade just for that reason....

  • E2000 Parental control tab missing - Mac OSX Lion

    I am trying to use the Parental Control feature. I can't use Cisco Connect as there currently isn't an update for this router for Mac OSX Lion
    The firmware version in the support site hasn't been updated for ages, and I am running the latest (v 1.0.04)
    The Parental control tab, that is supposed to appear in the web browser interface isn't there. It's supposed to be, but doesn't show up.
    Any ideas why or what the work around might be?
    Thanks

    If you want to use the Parental Control Feature then it will be in the name of Access Restriction instead of Parental Control…
    Cisco Connect 1.4 comes with the latest Linksys routers.  It is compatible with Mac OS X Lion.  This has resolved compatibility issues encountered in the past.

  • I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. How do I open its RAW files using Photoshop CS5. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5

    I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5  I have Photoshop CS5.  How do I open its RAW files?

    Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
    to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

  • Very slow Mac OSX Lion download from App Store

    Hi  All,
    I  have  recently  purchased  Mac OSX  Lion  (3  days  ago)  on  App  Store  (Malaysia). The  download  is  extremely  slow  and 
    I  am  not  sure  if  there  could  be  any  other  problem  contributing  to  this  issue.
    Currently  I  have  only  completed  about  1.61GB  out  of  3.74GB  after  3  days. But,  it  was  not  a  continuous  download  but
    rather  stop  and  resume  every  3  hours. My  internet  connection  speed  as  I  checked  on  speedtest.net  was  4Mbps.
    The  time  left  to  complete  the  download  is  shown  as  2  days  and  20  hours. I  think  it's  not  sensible  to  have  such  a
    long  time  to  complete  the  download  with  an  available  connection  speed  of  4Mbps.
    Any  solutions  for  this  problem ?

    Thank  you  for  keeping  the  thread  alive.
    Now  I'm  experiencing  better  download  speeds  with  remaining  time  of  (7  hours  and  a  few  minutes).
    The  connection  speed  I  have  is  about  5Mbps.
    I  would  suggest  anyone  with  download  speed  issues  to  follow  several  maintanence  tips  (if  not  all)  from  here :
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20005830-263.html
    It  may  not  seem  worthy  or  the  "solution  for  the  problem"  but  it  has  certainly  made  the  difference  for  me.
