Safari 3.04 Under Leopard Broken?

I've no idea whats going on here, but ever since my upgrade to Leopard, my Safari has been giving me a very hard time...
First Safari (and Mail) refuses to load any RSS feeds 100% of the time. For the life of me, not a single RSS feed will load for any sites (including RSS feeds on Apple.com)...
Now I've noticed that for some reason I cannot get on http://www.youtube.com
Every time I type the url in it automatically redirects to http://jp.youtube.com
I tried "Reseting Safari" clearing out all cookies and history, but it still does the same thing.
I've tried it hundreds of times but for some reason Safari under Leopard will NOT let me go to the normal page...
Firefox is exhibiting none of the Safari issues I'm having... None of these issues occurred prior to my update to Leopard. Is anybody else having these strange erratic issues with their Safari under Leopard??? Or is something very strange happening on my system???

Scratch the YouTube issue, as I finally figured out I can change my local (clicking the japanese flag in the upper right-hand corner & choosing the option with the globe)...
Its odd that YouTube was defaulting to the Japanese site even after I cleared my cookies out though... Has anybody else's done this???
This still doesn't tell me why I seem to be having my RSS issues though... At this point I may just format and do a clean install... :/

Run through this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
It might have to do with the way Safari works on the Internet and the rash of attacks occuring
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/mar/27/cyber-attack-spamhaus-slows-dow n-internet
I also booted up Safai today which I hardly use and it was incredibly slow as well.
I don't know if it's Safari or me not using it for such a long time.
If the above fixes don't work, all I can suggest is to use Firefox or whatever until this attack thing blows over and see after that.

Safari 3.0.4 (Leopard) & Proxy server = Broken.

I have noticed that Safari no longer works properly with our Proxy server.
We have a server that stores a Proxy configuration file. The PAC file is used by all our PCs and Macs. They refer to it for Web browsing proxy info. With 10.4 and earlier, the PAC/Proxy server worked fine. Users would authenticate 1 time per web session. Now, Mac users have to constantly re-authenticate all the time in order to surf the Web. Adding the Proxy password to the user's Keychain doesn't help either. Users are still prompted to authenticate again regardless if the Keychain has the users password saved or not.
Firefox works fine once it is setup with the required Proxy information (Firefox doesn't use Apple's global system-wide Proxy server settings and must be setup manually one time)

well, the developer seems to have updated this for 10.5 and my SIMBL folder is in the right place, etc.
Just as a test, I tried uninstalling SIMBL and SafariStand and reinstalling.
Still having the same problem of crashing when loading a page with embedded flash.
Strange thing is, when I check "Load Plug-in Manually" in the Stand preferences, it seems to work somewhat.
I can navigate to pages with embedded flash and a gray box appears that says "Plugin - click to load".
If I click it, the flash loads and plays, no problems or crashing.
It is just kind of annoying to have to do it this way.
As it's all I use Stand for, is there any other way to get a "new tab" button in Safari under Leopard?
I had it using the Beta, but can't remember how I got it.
Thanks.

CUPS printing to remote server doesn't work under Leopard

So i have an ubuntu system running cups 1.2.8 as a print server. i have an epson stylus colour 760 plugged in and configured and working.
i also had a macmini running tiger printing to it fine via ipp. now it didn't occur to me that something as simple (and important) as printing would be severely broken under Leopard. basically, after the upgrade, i can't print at all to the remote cups server.
the symptoms are that the job queue will pause; even after clicking on 'resume', it will start the progress bar, and then after 100%, it will just pause again.
i have on the cups server (qbic)

Adobe Reader Plugins for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard

Our software uses Adobe Reader to open, edit, and save Pdf Forms. Most of our customer base is on Windows but we now have some MAC users as well. Everything works fine except using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard. It appears as if the plug ins are not loading properly or at all when Reader 9 is installed. When a user goes to open a PDF Form, nothing happens.
My personal Macbook which I have at the office, is Leopard with Safari 5 and when I download Reader 9, I can see the plugins in Safari and everthing works fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks

On Snow Leopard 10.6, you need to run Safari in 32 bit mode to get the Adobe Reader Plugin to load and launch properly.
To do this,
1) exit Safari.
2) in the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
3) Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog
4) Relaunch Safari
5) Under the Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins you should now see the Adobe Reader plugin support.
I am able to get Safari to open forms inline in Reader this way. I am not able to get the Adobe Forms with Adobe Javascript running in this mode. Any insight on how this might be done would be helpful. It does work in the Standalone Reader, but so far no luck enabling it in the Safari plugin.

Using Encore 3 Under Leopard 10.5.4

I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's using Encore 3. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
I am running Encore 3 (latest updates installed) on an 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
I have posted this problem on both the Adobe Encore User Forum and written to Adobe Tech Support. I have received no response from Adobe.
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

Since no one replied, I can now confirm that the failure of Adobe Encore CS3 to successfully build a DVD to Flash Video is a known problem which has been confirmed by Adobe Technical Support. The feature works perfectly under Windows XP or Vista and it did work in Leopard on an earlier version of Quicktime, specifically Quicktime. specifically Quicktime 7.3.1. However, under the latest version of Quicktime (7.5), the Build to Flash Video feature in Encore CS3 has been broken. I have provided detailed feedback to Apple on this issue. One can only hope that in a future release of Quicktime, the problem will be corrected.

Browsers display fonts "thicker" under Leopard!

Safari and FireFox both display Arial, Helvetica, and other fonts "thicker" under OS X 10.5 Leopard than under other OS.
However, the same fonts appear "thinner" under Leopard when view with Dreamweaver CS3, Word, and other non-browser apps. Font Book did not show any duplicate font in the system.
Is there a Leopard font setting that will enable Safari and FireFox to display these fonts the same way as Panther or XP?

Well it's not Leopard that is changing the fonts... it's Safari. You can change your viewing font in the Safari preference menu underneath the Appearance tab.

Spontaneous Intel iMac Reboot under Leopard

I have three upgraded machines running under Leopard, two MacBooks and one Intel iMac. On only the Intel iMac I am experienced what can best be described as spontaneous reboots. Suddenly while working (web browsing with Safari) the screen will blank, no sound and reboot to the login screen.
Has happened twice in the last two days ... anyone else seeing this problem? Solution?

Same sort of problem here. We use the machine primarily for viewing TV in the kitchen with eyeTV. There is no clear pattern to the reboots. This log shows the timestamps of recent reboots.

Since 11/29 all other apps but eyeTV have been turned and kept off. Two reboots since. We have eyeTV running on two other machines (iMac G5 and MacPro) with no problems so we do not believe the issue is that software. Will happily provide syslogs to Apple if they are interested.

Fans go faster under Leopard

G5 1.8DP 3,5GB/500GB
Under 10.4.11, the fans are quiet quiet. Under Leopard, they are about 200rpm faster and shows a tendency to rev-up for no reason. Just scrolling in Safari or moving a file could put the from 900rpm into 1600rpm.
I've tried to reset the PMU, zap PRAM, reset Open Firmware, clear caches. It happens both on a clean install and on an upgrade from 10.4.11.
I'm still keeping 10.4.11 as my main system, but I've done two test install of Leopard in two different partitions: a clean one and an upgrade over a cloned 10.4.11.

More info: laptop is in excellent condition (Mac genius called it "Like New") and it sits on my desk elevated from the wooden desk by 3 little stands keeping the underside cool with the back nice and clear for the fans.
Monitored temps with only Firefox running with a bunch of tabs:
HD: 29˚
CPU: 35˚
Airport Card: 26˚
Enclosure Base: 25˚
GPU diode: 44˚
GPU heatsink: 35˚
Heatsink A: 34˚

Fans are currently:
Right Fan: 6005 rpm
Left Fan: 6001 rpm
CPU is 93% idle, 2.71 GB RAM free & available. No HD disk i/o.
Would really like to have a quiet MacBook Pro again...

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
Window > Code Inspector or F10

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

Workaround to import video in FCP 6.0.5 under Leopard

On behalf of a FCP user under Leopard with FCP 6.0.5 I would like to ask you how to import video from a Panasonic camcorder using some strange format. The workaround now is to import it on another machine under Snow Leopard with iMovie, export it as one .mov 'for computer use' and import it in FCP 6.0.5 on the Leopard machine. The video from the camcorder does not play under Leopard, probably because of the QT version 7.6.6.
The Panasonic camcorder has an SD card with video which is recognised as a Camera Archive. It has folders with a name like PRG001 containing files like MOV001.MOD and MOV001.MOI and PRG001.PGI.
Possibly there is some plugin, extention or other workaround?
It is currently too expensive to upgrade FCP 6.0.5 to the latest version, although the 2006 MacBook Pro with Intel might be able to run it. I was advised not to upgrade to Snow Leopard without upgrading FCP, because it will cause all kinds of trouble.

Although I would still need to buy the "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X" to work with it, right? At least that is what MPEG Streamclip suggests when I try to open the MOVxxx.MOD files with it.

Unable to save HP printer presets under Leopard

I frequently print a colored first page from the manual paper tray and the rest of the document from another tray. Presets previously saved, work flawlessly under Tiger. I am not able to save presets under Leopard - all attempts revert to default settings. Maddening because we do numerous different print jobs - some requiring staples and collating, some with a color first page, some a mix of both. One of a kind -- no problem -- print 50 and you have to set the preset for each copy. AARG!! Solution -- unacceptable!! Boot under Tiger.

This is a known problem and will most likely require an update form Apple:

IPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1 Will not print photo under "save as PDF"

iPhoto 7.1.1 Under Leopard 10.5.1.
Select a photo, choose "print" icon at bottom of iPhoto window.
Choose "print".
Choose "Save as PDF".
Result: Unknown error message appears with white space (no text) in message box, but with "OK" button.
Hit "OK button".
RESULT: iPhoto prints a screen shot of the iPhoto window and renders it to a PDF file.
In other words, *the print function under iPhoto does not work*. It yields an error every time that does not have a message, then *instead of printing the selected photo, takes a PDF screen shot of the iPhoto window*.
This is an example of poor programming. And of course, there is no way to fix it, or to get help.
Is anyone else having this problem?

This is an example of poor programming.
How do you come to this conclusion. It's working fine for me. You're the first to report such an issue.
First repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. A corrupted pref file can cause all sorts of unusual performance problems. If that doesn't help, log into another account and try from there. If it still doesn't work a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
It iPhoto performs correctly in the other account then your primary account is the culprit and may be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's at fault. To determine if that's the case try the following;
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Lexmark Optra S 1250 - Working under Leopard

I wanted to let people know that the Lexmark Optra S 1250 printer can work under leopard (10.5.1). It was quite a (stressful) experience getting it working but here were the essential steps:
1. After installing 10.5.1, reinstall the latest Optra S printer driver.
2. Ensure the printer is connected and powered on - mine is connected using a USB to Parallel converter cable but could also use an Ethernet cable
3. In the 'Printer & Fax Preference pane click the "+" to add a new printer.
4. Let the search for the printer driver complete(by gosh it is extremely slow!)
5. Click "Add" and when the drop-down box starts looking for 'printer options', don't wait (it never completes) but click the "Configure" button. Select your options and then exit.
6. Hopefully the printer now shows up as added on the left side of the Preference pane.
7. Close and then Restart the computer. I couldn't get the printer to respond to print commands (drove me crazy!) until after I decided to shut down and restart the computer.
8. If you still have problems, you may need to go back to the Printer & Fax Preference Pane, control-click on the printer icon in the left side of the pane and select "Reset print system". After that, redo steps 1 to 7.
Good luck
Rudy

Explain #8.
Did you restart after adding the drivers?
If you open the System Profiler, under Firewire or Printers what do yo see?
(Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info/Firewire or Printer)
If it sees them then you know it's a configuration problem.
