Safari 4 - Favicons Not Displaying

Hi all,
Favicons are not displaying with my browser (Safari 4.0.3)
I have tried dumping the webpageicons.db file, but I don't have it. I've tried looking at dumping the icons folder in Home-->Library-->Safari but that hasn't worked either. Should I try dumping the .plist file for Safari or is there another solution?
I'm running Glims but I'd much prefer to have Safari running properly. I know favicons should be displayed with this version since they're displayed on www.apple.com/safari screenshots.
Thanks!

I trashed the safari .plist files (both safari and safari rss) and that has solved the problem!

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled in the dropdown.

Safari 5.1 not displaying QT Files

I just noticed that Safari 5.1 or 5.1.1 (it updated today) is not displaying my .mov files. Safari 4 had no problems. It reports "Missing Plugin"
but when I open Safari>Help>Installed Plug-ins it does show Quicktime 7.6.4 (or 7.6.6 which I replaced to see if an older plugin would work).
The window shows:
QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.4
The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in web pages. For more information, visit theQuickTime Web site. — from file “QuickTime Plugin.plugin”.
I have Quicktime 10 and quicktime 7 Pro. I generated the ".mov" files myself using quicktime in the first place. These are lectures I video taped and used iMovie to generate the QT file. For example when I choose http://www.mil.ufl.edu/5840/classes/EEL-5840_Class_18.mov I get
Missing Plug-in {Inside a small rectangle}
When using Chrome the QT plugin which is called Quicktime Plugin.plugin and is in /Library/Internet Plug-ins works fine. It is annoying not to see the QT movie inside Safari. However, I can download it to desktop and view it directly in QuickTime X or 7. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are actually shell commands -- little programs. They’re harmless, but they must be used exactly as given in order to work.
First and most important, don’t run these commands until you have verified that they’re legitimate. Never execute shell commands from an untrusted source without knowing what they do, or at least that they don’t do anything harmful. I’ve posted these same commands, with minor variations, many times on this site. You should be able to find other discussions in which they were used without ill effects. Do that before proceeding.
Some of the commands will probably line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Step 4
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

Safari 3.1 not displaying Spry submenu correctly

I am redesigning a site and have placed a Horizontal Spry
menu at the top of the page. Some of the options in the menu have a
sub menu with some of the options in one of the sub menus having
their own sub menu. I have tested this in IE 7, Opera, FireFox and
Safari 3.1 and it works perfectly in all except for Safari 3.1. In
Safari 3.1 the sub menus fly out horizontally instead of dropping
down vertically as it should. Has anyone else had this problem? If
so does anyone know if it is a bug in Safari 3.1 and if so is there
a fix or a hack? Any help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately I am not at the moment able to put up a live
page for you to see this in action but I will put a copy of my Spry
CSS at the bottom of this post.
I guess if it wasn’t for the fact that some of the
options in one of the sub menus, having their own sub menu I could
leave it as it usable by flying out horizontally, but when the
second sub menu flies out it covers up the rest of the options in
the first sub menu.
Thanks.

As extra info on this topic - I did an archive reinstall of 10.5.2 and Safari was working fine.
Performed a software update which installed 6 packages and upgraded the OS to 10.5.5 and Safari is once again crapped in an identical manner to before.
It would seem to be a problem with an OS update.
Can anyone else verify and/or provide a fix

RoboHelp 9 Favicon not displaying in Internet Explorer 8

I'm using RoboHelp 9 and am unable to get my favicon.ico file to display in Internet Explorer 8. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome but not in ie.
I've also tried messing around w/ the whstart.ico file in template_skin directory as w/ RH 8, but that doesn't work either.
Anyone else experiencing this or know of a solution?
Thank you,

Safari 6 does not display pdf files!

No matter what website I go to if I need to display a pdf file especially on government sites which I deal with a lot being a paralized vet. I have to tell you I am disappointed with the last couple vers. of Safari. Half the time auto fill doesn't work. Many times i'll just type the name of the address and in past versions of Safari it would fill in the other stuff, www., .com, etc. Well not any more. I've switched to making Google Chrome since it displays pdf's. Apple, you cn do better than this!!! O, by the way I've been using Apple products since the iic, and I've been using the internet from it's beginnings.This is the first time I"ve had any complaint about Safari up until now it's been my browser of choice.
Signed,
Disaiiusioned

David...
All browsers require some maintenance at one time or another, or troubleshooting whether it's Safari, or Chrome, Firefox.. etc. I've yet to have any issues with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
For the PDF issue...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the AdobePDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
For autofill. Try troubleshtooting the Safari.plist (preferences)
Back to the Finder. Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go the move the Safari .plist file to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that that helped the autofill issue, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go the move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try autofill.

Help! My Safari shortcuts do not display pictures of the page anymore on my iPad.

I use shortcuts from web pages for various reasons and after a recent update, when I try adding shortcuts to my home screen they no longer display photos of the page but ugly white boxes with lines throughout. The previous pages I have shortcuts to all still have a photo of the page on their thumbnail but the new ones I am trying to add do not. I have tried deleting and readding the shortcuts, restarting Safari, restarting my iPad, and restoring from a back up. None of these have worked though. Is there something I am doing wrong? A setting that needs to be changed? A new way of adding shortcuts from Safari? I am in charge of the iPads for my work and I cannot get any of them to have pictures for the thumbnail instead of the awful ugly white square with lines (7 total iPad2s having the same problem). Please help! Thank you!

I actually fixed it now, don't worry, I just followed this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKFFFe0r-T4

Safari 3 still not displaying some pages correctly

Since I'm a .mac subscriber I would love to switch back to Safari from Camino so I can keep my bookmarks all in sync. Safari version 3 seems to be much faster and perhaps a bit lighter than 2.0 so I'm fully ready to make the switch.
However, I do have a web report that I have to access daily that Safari isn't displaying properly and I'm wondering if someone could tell me why. Basically this report is html I believe and about 15 columns wide. When I open the report in Camino, Firefox, and all Windows browsers it displays fine, but not in Safari. In Safari it only shows the first 4 columns. I think the issue might be the fact that the report is extremely wide and the other browsers adjust to this automatically and accept the fact that there is a good deal of left to right scrolling. Safari seems to only show the fields that it can display without increasing the width of the webpage.
Any ideas?

Post a URL so what we can look at it.

Favicons not displaying in tabs, but showing fine in the address bar and with bookmarks.

We had a power outage this evening while I was on the computer, and now, all of a sudden, when I open a site in a tab, the tab itself fails to display the site's favicon when applicable, but the icons display without any issue in both the address bar and in bookmarks. Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall?
The same issue occurred yesterday while reinstalling Firefox after I had to reinstall Windows. But after reinstalling Windows a second time, things worked in Firefox fine, up until said power outage.

Check to see if you have the FavIcon Picker add-on installed. If you do, this is the culprit. I had the same issue and disabling this add-on fixed my problem.

Safari 5.1 not displaying helvetica Neue after Lion upgrade?

Anyone else having this issue? Twitter's website is a good example. Basically any site which is setting Helvetica Neue as the default font is displaying in A's with a box around them. I've tried altering the encoding to UTF-8 but that had no affect. Helvetica Neue is on my system and fine according to Fontbook. Not seen any other app be affected by this.
Cheers
Mark

Right, having read some more threads about this (which I couldn't find at first, apologies) it's a dupe font issue, I've turned off another instance of Helvetica Neue and half of the A's have gone from Web Twitter. I'm still showing 2 sets of locked Helvetica Neues as system fonts in Font Explorer. So, where do I go to delete this locked dupe fontset?

Iweb and Safari 5: pages not displayed correctly

Hello. I am designing some pages that appeared just right in Safari 4, but now that I use Safari 5 they are all wrong (they do appear correctly in Firefox and Opera). Is anybody having the same problem?
l.

Tom thank you for answering. I take it back. I reinstalled Safari and everything works fine now. I am closing this issue and erasing the message if possible.

Safari address field not displayed

An address field used to appear at the top line of my Safari page. The address field is now missing and I'm unable to enter any url. I can surf the web only by clicking on existing bookmarks. How can I recover ?

Hi rsquare,
Try either toggling View menu -> Show/Hide Address Bar or select View menu -> Customize Address Bar... and drag the entry box back onto your Address Bar.
Hope that helps.

Safari 6 does not display motion jpegs from IP camera

I do have several IP cameras from Axis and other companies. Until I upgraded to Moutain Lion / Safari 6, they worked fine. But in Safari 6, the motion JPEG is no longer streaming. It streams a few frames, but then stalls. Has anybody seen this as well?

I will say that since I originally responded above that although Firefox works almost all the time, I have had a couple of occasions where Firefox as become unresponsive while streaming pictures from my Panasonic cameras... The behavior is much worse on Safari where I can, in effect, only get one or a view images before it freezes and no more streaming occurs until you leave that streaming page and come right back to it, where it sends a few more frames and then freezes again... Firefox never does any of that. However, I do believe the couple of times where it has become unresponsive while streaming the same video images is likely related to a similar problem that Safari has under Mountain Lion. But until Apple makes some improvement I have basically needed to stop using Safari to view images from these cameras... I haven't tried Chrome... Maybe I will give that a shot next...
And don't forget to send feedback to Apple at

thanks... bob...
