Real Player messes up Safari

Using the latest version of Safari 4.04 and I was trying to listen to the audio streams on this page (http://www.walkwiththeking.org/audio.asp) and they were not working so I foolishly downloaded the latest version of Real Player (as I was using a version from 2008). Know I still cant listen to the audio of the page above, but also whenever I go to this website (http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Backto_theBible/) I cannot listen to the real audio tab as I get a "plug-in not found" error message. The old version installed all worked fine. How can I UPGRADE back to the 2008 version of Real Player?
The latest version was installed as for some reason FireFox works like a charm on the page, yet FF has issues with the Windows Media plug-in while Safari does not, please dont ask me to explain it. So I keep 2 browsers for these hassles.

The latest version of RealPlayer is 11.0.1 and that works with your links, although it takes a while for the audio to start up. Also, your system meets the requirements for that version.
So, something else if preventing you from hearing the audio. Did you close Safari before installing RealPlayer, as well as repair permissions after installing it?

Unsupported document type on real player

I am trying to listen to audio downloaded from an online class website. The Real player worked once, but now I am getting an error message that says "unsupported document type." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, playing from Quicktime, and the files won't play. Any suggestions? Help please and thank you!

Hi biocanuck -
I haven't had the need to handle 'realplayer' media from Safari as of yet (only a month into this Macbook) - I went to your french site and had the same problem as you.

Dumped Safari for Firefox, now my e-mail links open in Real Player!

I wasn't really using Safari anymore, and prefer Firefox (using version 1.07). So I finally dumped Safari. But opened a link in an email today and was surprised!
It opened with Real Player!
I'm worried now that I can't set my email preferences to use Firefox to open any links in emails.
I can grab Safari off our desktop if I need to, but
anyone have any other ideas to change this?
Thanks

Nanci,
You need to check to see which browser is set to be your default one. Or just go ahead and make it Firefox since that seems to be your preference. I think this may be one of those chicken and egg problems, but it is easily sovled. You will need, however, to fire up Safari one last time and go to Safari > Preferences > General to make Firefox your default browser. After doing that, URL links in your email should open properly in Firefox.
Regards,
Steve M.

Real Player on Safari and Firefox

Hello all,
I couldn't use Safari or Firefox to listen on Amazon website, Real Player audio samples. On Safari, the webpage goes to an empty page. Firefox, tells me that there are a missing file. I'm using Real Player 10.1.0 Universal Binary.
Does anybody here has the same problem to browse music on Amazon website?

I think it would be best to uninstall and reinstall the Realone player. Here are instructions for doing so. You can download a new player here.
Post back and let me know if this helps.

Safari & Real Player Plugin on MacBook Pro

After installing Real Player (latest version from their web-site) on my brand new MacBook Pro (all udpates performed) some embedded real content does not play automatically and in fact the web-sites informs me that I would not have real player installed.
When performing the very same action on my other Mac that is a G4 machine it works perfectly. Also, when checking the pluging in the Safari Help section, real player does not show up on my intel based system while it does on the PPC machines.
Any hints?
Patrick

I'm trying to view webTV through MediaCentral & it says realplayer isn't installed. I just downloaded real & it still won't work, even with everything set to open using Rosetta. Anyone seen this?

Real Player problems

Hi -sorry if this is in the wrong place but I have sort of audio problem. I'm a big listener to the BBC radio service on my Macs which works through streaming using Real player via Safari. Since this morning I have had no sound from it at all on my iMac yet it works fine on my Macbook. i have tried unistalling 7 reinstalling real player but still no joy. After messing about restarting etc & reinstalling I have tried playing a regular mp3 file via Real player but get the following warning - " Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it" yet i have no other apps open etc and it says this after a full restart. Both my Macs are intel core duo.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I had this same problem occur - here's the fix I found:
Open "Audio MIDI Setup" in /Applications/Utilities/
Under "Properties For:" select "Built-in Output"
In the "Audio Output" section, set the Format to 44100.0 Hz
Close Audio MIDI Setup and try using RealPlayer again, the audio should now work.
I'm running 10.4.10 on an Intel machine and RealPlayer 10.1.
I hope this helps.

Can't download real player file from link

I'm new to the mac world and I am trying to download a real player file (.rm) from a link that is on one of my course websites (I've tried Safari and Firefox). When I "right click" and select "Download File" it just downloads the actual html link, not the file. I'm able to download the file on my PC with no problems. Am I just missing something with the mac?

Are you running RealPlayer 11? That includes a downloader that tells you when a file is actually available for download.

Real Player & Windows Media Player don't play a sound

Hi,
all of a sudden I cannot play Real or WMA streams anymore. I have the official Real player as well as the Microsoft player installed to use this nice widget for radio streams (http://radiotuner.wuersch.net/). It has worked all the time quite well but suddenly it does not give a sound.
When I open a stream directly in one of the programs they start to cache the stream but don't start to play (and yes, the streams exist and work on other PCs ). I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall the players etc. but I could not bring it back to life.
Does somebody has a hint for me what could maybe has been messed up?
Many Thanks for every idea,
Thomas

That application is in the Applications -> Utilities Folder.
Change the popup menu under "Properties for" to Apple logo Built-in Output. And change the Source to Internal Speakers, and format to 44100.0 Hz with the downward pointing triangle next to the Hz rating.

Extremely poor sound quality on all apps after using Real Player!

Hi there
On my Leopard iMac (Core2Duo) I am experiencing extremely poor 'lo-fi-like' quality on all audio from all applications including iTunes, Quicktime and Safari as a result of using Real Player to play a file online.
I very rarely use Real Player and this was the first time I'd used it in months to even a year. The file was a simple RAM file from a store website allowing me to listen to a sample of a music file. When played, the quality was low but I expected this from a music sample, and from Real Player. However, after closing Real Player, I noticed the sound quality had dramatically dropped to an almost un-listenable quality.
I have restarted and uninstalled Real Player with no luck. The poor sound quality still comes through my internal speakers, as well as external speakers, so it seems like a software issue.
Not sure what to do, please can anyone help as the audio is used all day every day on this iMac!
Thank you

Just tried it as I did get iLife with my Mac. GarageBand froze for the first few times I loaded it up, then I managed to get it to work. Played with the on-screen keyboard which produced perfect sound.
Closed GarageBand, restarted iTunes, tested, working perfectly! Crystal clear sound back again!
Thanks so much for that, really appreciated!

Java update and real player update not compatable with firefox 6 on Windows 7. Will they still function right?

When i opened firefox today , there were updates but when it tried to update it came back that java and real player updates were not compatable with my firefox. I have Firefox 6. Will these 2 programs still work all right if they are not updated?
I'm sorry I don't know what installed plugins I have. After putting in search it says I have Java 6 Standard Edition Update 26. I have Real Player(tm)(win32), Version 14.0.4 652. Hope that is enough information

I just had a similar issue and I ended having to manually clean up the registry to get Java working again.
I just got a new computer at work and it had Java 7 installed but it turns out an app we need to use at work doesn't work with Java 7, only Java 6.
I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6 but Firefox was not showing the Java plugin as installed. I tried all sorts of things, including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and none of it worked. Finally I again uninstalled Java and then I searched for "Java" in the registry and found TONS of entries still in there for Java, including for Java 7. I manually deleted all the entries (WARNING: this is extremely risky) rebooted, then installed Java 6 and now it's working fine.
I really hate it when uninstallers leave stuff behind. It just makes a mess.
