Safari 5 problems with Gmail

I have notice that since I upgrade to Safari 5, the Gmail's chat connection keeps dropping, and re connecting every 5 seconds. It is very annoying and makes the chat feature useless.
I have no problem using Chrome and Firefox.
Any thoughts on this?

Same here. :s
Not only Gmail, a lot of sites malfunction with Safari 5. Like National Geographic (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/) - click on any of the Editor's pick in the middle of the site. It loads to about 80% and then redirects back to the main site.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. This is a POP3 email Account? I always get a message reading that the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. I have no such problem with gmail. What could be the problem and how do I resolve this. Is it about settings?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Having problem with gmail smtp server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. What do I do?

Having problem with gmail smtp outgoing server. Since going to google 2-step, and entering 16-digit code in gmail account, I can receive mail on my iMac, but cannot send. I keep getting an error message that Mail "Cannot send message using Gmail (my assigned name) server." What do I do?

Confirm you did this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
You might also try removing all gmail passwords from your keychain in Keychain Access. Then connect again and enter the password code given by Google.

Safari problems with certain web pages dowloading a page instead of display

on some sites when i click a link to go to or open a page, it downloads the link. this happens with ebay for example where when i click on a link, it downloads ebay.dll instead (i know, weird). and now, ebay.com isnt even opening - i just get a blank page. it happens with .asp pages and .js pages too. everything seems to work fine in firefox. i was also having problems with gmail which would not allow me to click on links and if i typed, it would jump to another field on the screen if i typed a non-alpha character (i know, weird). that seems to be fixed now and i can use gmail.
not sure what the problem is. any ideas?

You would have to remove (uninstall) or reinstall the Georgia font if it is currently corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check for missing and corrupted font files.
It needs to be run from an Elevated Command Prompt.
Open a cmd.exe window as Administrator:
Start, click Programs, click Accessories
Right-click Command Prompt, and choose "Run as administrator"
Click past the UAC Screen
After the cmd.exe prompt, type: sfc.exe /scannow and press Enter

I have problems with Gmail when I open it in Firefox. The button "write a letter" doesn't work

Dear Firefox team,
I have problems with Gmail when I open it in Firefox. The button "write a letter" doesn't work. On the page it is seen as if the page is being downloaded but in fact not. As a result, I can't neither write new letters no reply to received mail.
Best regards,

Problem with gmail account on iPhone

I didn't know if anyone else is having problems with gmail or not. I have other accounts setup on iPhone, and I'm not having any problems with them. When I try to access my gmail my phone is freezing up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8725114&#8725114
I periodically get a freeze of either my iPhone or VZW Treo when it hangs getting Gmail. Most of the time, it works without a hitch - other times, access to Gmail is a PITA, and once in a while, it's hanging my phones up.
I've had Gmail go sideways on me a few times, buddies of mine say they're having no problems at the same time. Once in awhile, they'll call me to ask if I'm having problems (I'm not) but they can't get their messages for hours. Go figure. YMMV.

Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail - any solutions?

I notice that Yosemite Mail still has sync problems with Gmail. After running for some hours, I noticed there were 6 emails in my Gmail account that had not synced over the past hour.
In the meanwhile, for safety's sake (don't want to miss emails!) I'm back to Mailplane. But I wonder if anybody knows of a solution to this long term problem first introduced in Mavericks. Works fine in iOS Mail though.
Thanks,
doug

I don't think we'll ever have a "best of both worlds" Doug. I've used Gmail since the week it launched the first beta in 2004, and it's always been a bit of a love-hate relationship for me (mostly love). With the demise of the Google Notifier for Mac, I went with Mailplane, but even it has problems. Like when I see my iPhone update with new mail and I'm looking at Mailplane and it won't update at times with even a forced refresh. I often have to close/reopen it to see new messages. But, it's hard to live without my Google Calendar only a tab click away, one of the primary reasons I use Mailplane, that plus changing view zoom sticks with Mailplane and won't with Gmail.
For years I've thought Gmail labels were the perfect filing solution, but over the past few weeks I've been analyzing just how much I really use that feature, and for me...it's not all that much. I think I could simplify my life by putting everything into appropriate folders (as in all other email apps). Apple doesn't realize just how much money they're losing by not allowing people to use private domains with iCloud mail...which I would do in a heartbeat just because it would work perfectly with Mail.app. I would pay even more than I currently pay Google for this solution with Google Apps Business. So, I'm actually on the verge of moving my private domain to the best email service I can find and then using it with Mail.app. The problem here, of course, is I'll lose the best spam control on the planet (Gmail). So, as you say, there simply is not a "best" solution for all these things. I'll at least try a new email service first with some other domain to see how I like it before moving my primary email.
Lastly, the other thing that incenses me is synching of flags between iOS and Apple Mail. It works fine between Gmail and iOS Mail, since all I care about is whether a message is starred/flagged or not. But using Apple Mail, when I flag a message it will not show as flagged in their own iOS Mail, which is incomprehensible, given they built both apps.
If you find a great solution or discover anything new...please post it here, Doug. Thanks.

Problems with Gmail in Firefox version 20.0.1.

I never had any problems with Gmail before this version. Now when I want to compose a new message the compose window and home page will turn into an empty white browser window. It is titled as if it were the inbox, but there are no links or words appearing in the window. I cannot type in this window either. So I am unable to send email from my desktop.
Also, I can only read new messages. When I try to read older messages I'd saved for information purposes, I can no longer open those.

Google has been tinkering with the design of Gmail lately, which raises the possibility that Firefox may be mismatching old cached files with new ones, or sending the site cookies that correspond to an older design.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your google.com cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
That will open a dialog where you can remove the individual cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

Problem with Gmail, Adobe site, Opera, Safari...

Hi guys,
Hope you can help me asap.
I have installed OSX Mountain Lion few minutes ago, but I have a lot of problems...
1.) I cannot access Gmail in Opera (opera web browser) - I have the latest version, also trying reinstall it. It just says:
Secure connection: fatal error (49)
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&cont inue=http://mail.google.com/mail/&scc=1<mpl=default<mplcache=2
The certificate is valid, but permission denied.
I know, Opera isn't the best web browser, but because of my work, I need to use atleast 2 web browsers together... so I use Opera and Safari.
Never before had this problem with Opera.
2.) I cannot acces some sites on Safari... For example adobe.com (and it works in Opera...)
For example I cannot access adobe site:
Safari can't connect to this server
Safari can't open the page "http://www.adobe.com/ because Safari can't connect to the server "www.adobe.com".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Filip

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.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Major problems with Gmail

I've been using Firefox successfully for 9 months now but recently decided to change over to Safari.
Things were going well for a few weeks. I usually leave a Tab open for gmail and check it periodically during my day.
I first noticed that it was refreshing alot. Then I noticed that it was doing it and never showing any content. it was shortly thereafter that I received notice from Google that it appeared as if my account was being hacked.
I did the smart thing and changed passwords on every place online I frequent and on every machine I have access to. I still had problems accessing Gmail from Safari so I tried to do it with Firefox and it worked.
That was weeks ago and Safari still does the same thing. When I enter my credentials in at Gmail it goes into this continuous and non-stop refresh.
Any ideas?

Well i use Gmail fine on my eMac running Safari and Mac OS 10.4.2. I dont have it open all day, but its normally open for a good while at a time.
Do you have any 3rd party plugins which could be causing a problem?
Have you updated to the most recent version of the Mac OS?

Problem with Gmail "unread mail" in OSX mavericks

Since updating to OSX Mavericks (and I installed all available upgrades/patches as they came out) I have had a problem with getting my Gmail to sync across various devices. I have a macbook air as well as the iMac, ipad and iphone. The problem is that with the two computers, emails received to my gmail account will appear "unread" even if I have previously accessed them on a different computer or device. It is as if Apple Mail is no longer able to differentiate from the Gmail server which emails I have opened and which I have not yet read, and I come home to an inbox full of dozens of messages I have already read and deleted that are sitting in my inbox again so I have to double-delete them. I cannot figure out which setting I need to change in order to correct this - I have never had a problem with this before upgrading the operating system and do not have "leave an unread copy on the server" or some similar setting activated in gmail, to my knowledge. The recenly released mail fix did not help.
thanks in advance for your advice.

Weird Safari problems with Forum

I've been having random problems with the forum and Safari. When I am not logged in I see this:
Every user, every post is the same except for the occasional (see the 7th row) odd one. I'm also not able to sign on. The login screen comes up but when I enter my un and pw the next page just reloads in a constant loop during the redirect. This is happening on 4 different computers 3 with OSX 10.8.2 and one with the lateest version of OSX 10.7. All have the latest version of Safari...

The forum database crashed a few days ago. There's all sorts of oddities. Not browser related (though of course you could always use a "decent" browser ).

Safari problem with plug-ins

I'm having problems with plug-ins in Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7).
Within the past two days, Flash, and today, Java applets will not work in Safari. I get the following error messages:
"The page “The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
"This page has content of MIME type “application/x-java-applet”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u16/index.html
Do you want to open the page?"
Java worked as of 3/31. It was on that date, that I first noticed the Flash/Shockwave notices.
My 5 most recent updates through Software update were:
3/31/10 AirPort Base Station Update 5.5.1
3/31/10 iTunes 9.1
3/29/10 Mac OS X Update 10.6.3
3/24/10 Safari 4.0.5
2/7/10 iTunes 9.0.3
As of today, I have repaired disk permissions, reset Safari & emptied Safari's cache.
The plugins that are in my disk:library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
AdobePDFViewer, DivXBrowserPlugin, DRM Plugin, Flash Player, flashplayer.xpt, Flip4Mac, Google Earth, iPhotoPhotocast,ipxBrowserPlugin (folder), JavaPluginCocoa.bundle,NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave, npdivx.xpt, NPSVG3Carbon, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, QuartzComposer.webplugin, AuickTime Plugin, RealPlayer Plugin.
In my user:Library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are: fbplugin1_01 & fbplugin1_03.
This is all on my primary account, which is an administrator account.
FireFox loads the Flash/Shockwave just fine.
I created a new account, logged in with that, and it does not have the same problems. It can see the Flash content on the NY Times site fine.
Any suggestions on more things to do?
Thank you.

Hi Larry
re Mail - which may be a separate issue - many people have found that opening Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities/) & clicking both Restore Defaults buttons, stopped an 'attachments not showing
in Mail with missing plugin icon' problem.
In Safari - is it just Flash you don't see?
Try trashing Flash's settings & storage folder - Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
and a Flash cache folder - Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
If no better, there must be a preference file awry in your usual account, or some extra software beyond those facebook plugins.
