Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

I have an old Mac computer Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.06 can I use Flash 11? Gly

I have an old Mac computer Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.06 can I use Flash 11? Gly

OS 10.5.8 was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS that Mac released. It could be run on PPC or Intel Macs.
You can use Flash, but NOT the current version. Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the latest version that will run with 10.5.8.
Apple ended all support for ALL PowerPC hardware and software just over four years ago, so there will be no further development of ANY apps that run with PowerPC Macs, from ANY developer.

Safari Flash/Quicktime problem

Running safari 2.04, Pro Quicktime and Flash 9 player plugin. All I get is a Q with Question mark on flash pages or movies. Tried removing flash and re-installed flash player with same conclusion. What's going on???

Yours is not a Flash issue.
Yours is a .m4a versus .m4v problem.
http://web.mac.com/thewarondemocracy/iWeb/TheWarOnDemocracy.com/The%20War%20On%2 0Democracy%21/A718A12D-5B4B-4398-AC88-540579F39DA0_files/05.21.2007%20As%20the%2 0Power%20Unravels.m4a
All the junk above is a link to your to your .m4a "enhanced" Podcast file and it's the file extension that is causing the trouble.
This "error" doesn't occur in all browsers but does show the QT ? icon when viewed in Safari.
You can "test" it by clicking on the link above which will open your Podcast in a new browser window where it plays.
Control click (right click) and copy the URL and then open it in QuickTime Player and you'll see the chapters tracks.
Best "fix" is to use the Finder to rename the file extension from .m4a to .m4v and use iWeb app to republish your page.
Apple must fix the other issues and they are working on it, I'm sure.

Safari constantly crashes Mac OS X - possibly a Flash induced problem?

Hi all, I'm having quite frequent crash issues with Safari on my 17" MacBook Pro running 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB RAM. It often happens when I am running websites that use Adobe Flash.
The crash always causes a gray/black screen to appear asking me to reset my machine - often causing me to lose any unsaved work. Attached below is the report, is there anything that people may suspect is causing it from the error report attached below?
Cheers in advance for any help:

My Safari 5.0.3 quit unexpectedly a few days ago after I had viewed Google Street View. I had finished and left the Street View pages (from memory I was in the process of closing down a couple of other webpages to finish the session).
Suddenly Safari quit, but I still had my screen image (not a black or grey screen). A message box popped up that apologised for Safari's unexpected quitting and suggested that the problem was probably related to the Flash 10.something plug-in. The box had the relaunch button (which was blue) and advised that I could relaunch and send a report to Apple. However, when I relaunched my homepage appeared but the popup box to enable a report to be sent to Apple didn't arrive.
I sent a report via 'Report Bugs to Apple' option in Safari drop-down box from menu, but I didn't include an error report (cause I wasn't sure where/how to find it).
I haven't experienced Safari quitting again but I thought this info might be informative, since MrM surmises that his issue is in some way related to the Flash player.

I cannot type Unicode characters (Vietnamese for instance) in Flash input textfields.

Given the same website containing a Flash Input TextField, I can:
# Type Vietnamese properly on IE
# Type Vietnamese properly on Google Chrome, but only when the Flash '''wmode''' property is set at "windows" (not transparent, nor opaque, etc.)
# Type Vietnamese properly on FireFox 3.6
# '''Cannot''' type Vietnamese properly at all on FireFox 4 Final, no matter what wmode is set to

There are two "serial" numbers (the product number) that came on the product packaging.
The software is Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 Student and Teacher Edition, purchased from Amazon.com and needed student verification to obtain the license.
^ [ I figured out what was wrong, but I'll just leave the information here for anyone in the future that may have short-term memory as well ]
I have just went through my records that I recovered from my laptop and it seems that the serial number on the product package DOES IN FACT have letters in it. But I think that I had to register it with Adobe and verify that I was a student before Adobe would give me my legitimate serial number that contained only numbers. So this is why there are tons of these threads about this that never go answered because the people asking and the people helping are both right and wrong at the same time. The students are trying to use the only serial that was provided to them, but it isnt the true serial. Maybe Adobe could be more clear that it isn't a serial number for the product underneath it? "Product Code" is synonymous with "Serial Number" to most people.
You use this code (the code with letters in it; the "product code") to contact Adobe and verify your status as a studen/teacher and then they give you the true serial number that is all numbers. Search your email for mail from Adobe to find your serial if you have already done this. I had completely forgotten how the process worked since it was a while ago.
Thanks for the help Mylenium, I hope this helps whoever comes across it in the future.

Safari may unexpectedly quit when using flash type games that require farmville

Re: Flash Player problem

I'm experiencing similar problems.
My setup is:
Mac OSX 10.5.8
Safari 5.0.2 (Latest on site as of this date)
Flash 10.1 (Latest on site as of this date)
Flash does not work in Safari but Flash works in Firefox with my main Admin user account. Every time I go to a site it either says "missing plugin" or "please update to the latest version of flash" or something along those lines.
I created a new login with Admin rights and Flash DOES work in that account with Safari but of course who wants to migrate to another user account? I need to fix it for my current user account!
Tried Uninstalling Flash, Reinstalling Flash, Repairing Permissions, Restarting
Even tried uninstalling safari & reinstalling and doing the above several times to no avail.
Insight Anybody?!?!?!?
THANKS!!!!

Hi
Are plugins enabled in Safari-Preferences-Security ?
Any per-user plugins showing in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ ?
If so, move them to the desktop & restart safari.
Any files in Home/Library/Input Managers/ ?
Tried quitting safari, and moving Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist to the desktop ?

My Safari is no longer working with many sites. However Chrome and Firefox work fine. I would like to re-install Safari in an effort to clear up the problem I can not resolve.

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.
3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please describe it in more detail.

Desktop is Gone, Mail and Safari were reset and a host of other problems

So, I opened my iMac G5 today and the first thing I noticed was that some of my widgets were gone, particularly all the ones that didn't come with the OS X installation (meaning the other ones I downloaded from different sites). And then I noticed that I couldn't access any of my mail when I looked at them in Mail. I was given an error message that read something like this: "you cannot view this message. it has not be downloaded from the server. you must go online". So anyway, I decided to shut down and turn my computer on again. And I was shocked to see that my desktop was gone, and my wallpaper had reverted back to the default wallpaper (but I was atleast able to find all the files that used to be on my desktop). And now, Mail has been reset (meaning, when I launch it, it asks me to set up a new account). iChat has been reset the same way as well. And for some very odd reason, my Safari browser has lost it's tabbed browsing ability, and I've lost all my bookmarks. I checked the version, and it says 2.0.4. Did I somehow revert back to on older version of Safari. So far, those are the only problems I've discovered. I'm terribly hesitant to turn my computer off again in fear that I might lose some more files for good.
Anyway, I have an idea of what the culprit might be. I downloaded this program from VEOH.com and decided to uninstall it last night. It came with an "uninstall how to" that asked me to type some stuff in Terminal (I knew I should have just kept that **** program!). This is what it asked me to type:
prompt> sudo /Applications/Veoh.app/Contents/Resources/uninstallveoh.sh
And then Terminal asked for my admin password, and I hit the Return key. Would anyone know, if this is what could be causing me all these problems? I also recently installed Yahoo 3.0 Beta 1. It conflicts with Mail. I can't open Yahoo 3.0 when Mail is running.
Also, I found the bookmarks.plist file for Safari. I'm wondering if I can somehow do something with this file so that I can get my old bookmarks back. Would really appreciate any help!
Ugh! I feel like a such a Windows user right now.

Hi, Barry.
Thanks for the reply! I've found all of my files (the ones that used to be on my old desktop), and I've been able to restore my bookmarks and all my old mail. Also, I just had to recheck "enable tabbed browsing" in Safari Preferences. I think I just figured out what I did wrong: I renamed my "home" folder. I was gonna change it back to it's original name, but I forgot to. Stupid me. So after restarting, I think it just moved all of my files into a new folder which I can still access by going to Macintosh HD >>> Users. All the files are there, including the widgets that I thought were missing. So now, I essentially have 4 folders under users, but I only have 3 user accounts. You think I can restore everything back to normal by just copying all of the old files back into my home folder again? But at any rate, I think I can live with having all my files just living in another folder. I lost my old "music", "pictures" and "movies" icons though (the ones at the left sidebar of the Finder window). Those are the only things I can't seem to find. So I just downloaded new icons.
What's a good brand of external firewire drives? I'm thinking of getting a Maxtor OneTouch III. Would you recommend that?

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

Help-Safari wont load any pages-others having same problem

Safari wont load any pages. Tried reinstalling Safari. Nothing. Zip. Notice that people on the Safari for Windows board are having the same problem.
WHAT IS GOING ON? Anyone know?
I get the menu bar, but not Bookmarks, etc. Cannot see a blank page. Cannot open a blank page, BUT my efforts (Untitled and Untitled 2) are reflected in the Dock. A right-click there shows that the pages are open, but obviously invisible.
I really need to fix this.
Firefox works. As do other apps.

EDIT:
The last thing I did before this happened was open a .pps file I got in email. If I do what was suggested in the Safari for Win post where someone is having the same problem: empty the cache, everything becomes greyed out. Its as if everything becomes invisible.
If I click on a link in Apple Mail, the URL shows up in the dock right-click as if it has mounted, but it hasn't. No window. Nothing.

Do you actually have a data plan from your cellular provider?
Being connected to 3G does not automatically indicate that a data plan exists on the account or is even set up correctly on the carrier side.

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.

Acroread 8.x CJK input problem

See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=353251
CJK input doesnt work right in the English version of
acroead 8.1.1 or the pre-release version 8.1.2.
First of all, one needs to set
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
to make acroread react at all to the hotkey which triggers
SCIM input (default hotkeys on openSUSE are Shift+Space and Control+Space).
When GTK_IM_MODULE=scim or GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge, acroread
wont react to the hotkey which enables SCIM at all.
With GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, the scim input method *can* be
enabled by Shift+Space. But it doesnt work right.
One can see correct Japanese in the popups shown by scim when
converting phonetics to Chinese characters. But the predit string
shows garbage which seems to resemble Arabic. And after comitting
everything typed is converted to question marks (acroread 8.1.1)
or boxes (acroread 8.1.2).
I am talking about the *English* versions of acroread here, not
localized Japanese versions like e.g.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.1/jpn
As it is not nice to have completely packages for each language, I
hope that the different language versions can be merged into one in
the long run.
It would be very nice if there were only one basic version and to
support other languages one only had to add fonts and translations and
not exchange the binaries.

Mike,
Could you confirm if everything is working fine with the Japanese Reader
downloaded from the Reader website? That'll be really strange since the Viewer
binaries should be identical in the English and Japanese versions. The only
difference in the 2 installers should be in the fonts and the resource
libraries.

OK, I tried with the special Japanese version of acroread (8.1.1)
as well.
There is no difference in behaviour between the Japanese acroread
8.1.1 and the English acroread 8.1.1 and the English acroread 8.1.1 as
far as the input problem reported here is concerned! All of them show
the problem as reported here.
But I found that it depends on the locale. If acroead is started
in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 acroread
the problem occurs as reported here.
However, if acroread is started in ja_JP.eucJP locale
LANG=ja_JP.eucJP acroread
the Japanese input works fine! Thats the same with the Japanese and
the English version of acroread.
As UTF-8 locales are the default nowadays on most Linux distributions,
it is important that this works not only in legacy locales like
ja_JP.eucJP but also in ja_JP.UTF-8.

The screen-shot seems to indicate you are trying to enter japanese characters
in a standard GTK+ edit field. The core Reader code actually doesn't interact
much with the control during the process of entry of text.
Could you try the following -
1. When the default locale is eucJP, what happens in a standard edit field in
some other GTK+ app., for instance gtk-demo? If you don't have gtk-demo, you
could even try the same thing in the Open dialog in the Adobe Reader, where you
type the file name.
2. If you don't export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, can you make the IME appear in some
other GTK+ app. like the gtk-demo?
My guess is this (atleast point 1 above) may be a problem with GTK+, though we
are investigating this at our end as well. Maybe an issue with the fonts that
get loaded when the locale is UTF-8, vs eucJP. That's the reason, the
characters loaded from the IME are showing as question marks.

In gtk-demo, Japanese input works both for ja_JP.eucJP locale
*and* for ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
And it works for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE which I tried
(GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, GTK_IM_MODULE=scim, and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge.
Gaurav Jain> If you don't have gtk-demo, you could even try

Japanese input in the Open dialog of the Adobe Reader behaves
exactly like in the search field of the Adobe Reader:
- works fine in ja_JP.eucJP locale
(for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE)
- does not work in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale
(not for any of the above mentioned values of GTK_IM_MODULE)
Gaurav Jain> 2. If you don't export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, can you make

In gtk-demo the IME appears and works fine.
In acroread, the IME appears for all values of GTK_IM_MODULE (xim,
scim, scim-bridge) and input works fine in ja_JP.eucJP locale. In
ja_JP.UTF-8 locale, the IME appears as well and input seems to be
possible but the result is garbage as in my screen shot.

Hello Mike,
I tried reproducing the bug on SLED 10, openSUSE 10.3, and openSUSE
11.0(http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Alpha1/iso/cd/openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1-GNO ME-i386.iso)
but was unable to do so.I could see no difference in the behavior based on
locale.Also,the problem of garbage predit strings in case of utf8 is not
reproducible at my end.
Could you please attach a screenshot of your SCIM setup settings,and the
download location of openSUSE 11.0.
Regards,
Sanika

I found that the problem occurs *only* with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim,
contrary to what I wrote in comment #8.
That was my fault, because I still had
# Workaround for http://rudin.suse.de:8888/show_bug.cgi?id=85416
# (see comment #37):
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
patched into the beginn of the acroread start-script.
Apparently this is not needed anymore, input using
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge seems to
work fine now in acroread 8.1.2.
*But* the problem I described here occurs with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim.
Sanika,
can you reproduce the problem with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim ?

Strange flashing cursor problem

Hi,
I've just finished installing Vista 32bit on my Macbook Air (1.6) and its working fine apart from one small problem - when starting up it freezes on a black screen with a flashing cursor for 2-4 mins and then will start loading Vista fine. Once in there is no problem and its stable and what not. I have had a look at some on the articles on here and other forums and the flashing cursor problem usually refers to when people try to first install a MS OS and not once one has been installed successfully.
I only have to boot into Vista every now and then and only for a few minutes at a time so I usually spend as much time in Vista as it does loading.
Any help appreciated.
