Safari and Gmail Chat

I set up my wife’s gmail account on her macbook and then we went through the idea that we could chat while I was at work (offshore). So I invited her to chat and she went through the process to be able to chat and BLANK, every time she tried to use chat nothing would happen so after many failed attempts we kind of gave up.
Anyway at work I decided to try using two PC computers and Bobs your uncle it worked, so I again asked my wife to try but BLANK so I got my wife to open Windows XP (she also has boot camp) and Bobs your uncle we can chat.
So what is the problem with Safari and Gmail?

Unfortunately now you can only get the chat working in Firefox as far as I know. You can however download Adium (http://www.adiumx.com/) and add the Google Talk account and get it running there. Hopefully a future update to Safari 3 will fix this

  • Safari and GMail -- Crash when selecting a message

    All,
    I just got a new MacBook Pro, he Safari instance on my machine is 2.0.4 which I believe is the newest non-beta version. I am able to log into GMail, however when ever I try and select a specific message, the application crashes out to a "Report to Apple" screen. I've flushed the cache, reset Safari, and zapped the PRAM. Has anyone else ever seen this behavior?
    THanks!
    Josh

    I have the same issue. I have sub-folders, but have been using Thunderbird for many years and this was never an issue, though I had a similar issue a year or so ago because of a McAfee issue that was finally solved. I usually have less than 20 e-mails in my inbox. I delete or file messages daily.

  • Safari and Gmail very slow

    This may be a sign of Google releasing that BUZZ thing, but I have noticed gmail to very slow with Safari. Getting a lot of "still working" messages. I have BUZZ turned off. But I am assuming that BUZZ might be dragging their network down with high traffic.
    Of course, I have reset safari, etc..

    HI,
    Gmail and Safari issues
    According to Google, "Gmail users with Safari version 4.0.4 might encounter issues loading Gmail and other issues". This link has more info: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
    Also, try Safari maintenance..
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. **To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Repair disk permissions..
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Make sure the there's enough free disk space. Not enough will slow the drive down. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • Safari and Gmail

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is in the right thread? However whenever I try and attach a word file using gmail it says every file has a virus. It is extremely annoying having to paste everything into the body of the e-mail. Please help!!!

    I can attach Word docs to gmail emails with no trouble. Are you using Safari on a Mac? What versions of Safari and the Mac OS?

  • Safari and Gmail continuous loading

    I have noticed that after you log into your mail, gmail seems to continue to load for a long period of time. The main page loads, but just continues to load (from the spinning sprocket in the address bar). I have reset safari, etc. Everything seems to work. Just wondered if anyone else has seen this.

    HI,
    Try Safari Maintenance
    And...
    1. Quit Safari if it's running.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    • Downloads.plist
    • History.plist
    • LastSession.plist
    4. Restart Safari and restart your Mac.

  • Safari and Gmail videochat

    Since the latest update of Lion, I have been experiencing the impossibility to have a videochat on gmail with Safari. I have a macbook Air, with an embedded camera. I tested the Gmail VideoChat with Chrome, and it works perfectly, whereas on Safari I can't see my side of the videochat. Anyone has a tip?

    Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details
    Type   google   in the search field top right corner of that window then click Remove All / Done.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try a video chat.

  • Safari and Gmail Problem

    I recently purchased an iMac, and have Leopard installed. I created separate accounts for my family members on the computer before realizing that Gmail only worked on the administrator account. On every other account when I attemtped to view Gmail, the browser showed this error message:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://mail.google.com/mail?hl=en&tab=wm” because it could not connect to the server “mail.google.com”.
    I have Safari 3.0.4 and am baffled at why Gmail only works on the administrator account.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    I had partial success with this. In the Parental Controls pane, you can add sites that are explicitly allowed. So I added
    http://mail.google.com
    and later another Google site (don't recall the URL) that was also claimed to be unreachable. That enabled Gmail to be read. However, when we tried sending a message, Gmail claimed to be suffering "technical problems". Maybe some other site needs to be added to the list.

  • Safari and Facebook chat history logs?

    Hi guys!
    I thought it was quite impossible to retrieve a facebook chat history, when I found this program.
    http://www.jadsoftware.com/home/ief.htm
    Unluckily it works only on Windows.. it says:
    If this item is checked, IEF will search for messages sent and received using the Facebook® live chat feature. Facebook® Live Chat can be found in live memory, pagefile.sys/hiberfil.sys files, and on the hard drive in allocated and unallocated space.
    mmmhh.. Where I can find these files on my Mac?
    Thank you v much.

    same for me but sometimes!

  • Ability to work offline in safari and gmail

    Is there an app to use so I can work offline in safari/gmail?

    for safari, you can use reading list feature so that you can read websites even if you're offline, i'm not aware for gmail.

  • Safari & Gmail Chat

    Gmail added a new feature recently which lets you chat with other gmail users who are on, and log your chats. Unfortunately, this does not work in Safari. Anyone have any idea why, is it just something Apple needs to update?
    On Firefox the new window appears and it works just fine, but try in Safari and it just doesn't appear.

    is it just something Apple
    needs to update?
    You might want to ask Gmail why, when they launch something new, they are unwilling to make it usable on Safari, which has been around for years now already.

  • Attachments dont download from Gmail in Safari, They disappear,I even tried re-downloading Safari and that download disappeared, it is not in my downloads folder, I actually searched in finder for the file and it is nowhere on my computer.  Please help!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Read this post: 10.8.5 Broke Camera Usage For 3rd Party Apps Like Skype

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

  • Gmail crashes Safari and FireFox in Mac OSX 10.9.2

    I'm getting a  crash with both Safari and Firefox. As soon as I try to open up any email in gmail using the standard interface it crashes.  If I use the HTML interface there is no crash but I'm also missing gmail features.   Firefox about:crashes shows the crash occurs in Firefox when it invokes the AudioToolbox from Mozilla's AppleMP3Reader.cpp.  I have no idea why it attempts to process an MP3 file when just opening up the interface.
    The Safari trace shows the crashing thread has the following stack.

    This is on a two year old MacBook Pro  running OSX 10.9.2 and it only started after the update to the OS.

    Finally Got it!!!  Ok, here is what i did: it was a combination of two things i read in different forums.
    1st: Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy and in the "allow apps downloaded from: " section, select "Anywhere".   There is a file in the installation bundle from adobe that is not recognized as coming from an "identified developer".   I then went back to the adobe page and re downloaded most recent flash player.  Tried to reinstall it, and again the same problem as before.  Stopped at 50% asking to close Safari.  So i did the following:
    2nd: This time instead of closing Safari by pressing the red button X, I pulled down the safari tab and clicked on exit safari command.  Clicked the retry button on the installation window and magic!!!! it worked.  
    Finally after 5 frustrating hours it worked....  I never thought i would run in to such a problem with a brand new Mac....  with the money i paid for it, would expect much easier performance in the upgrading process.... and compatibility with adobe.... an issue that should have been resolved long ago.  I guess its a problem on both sides....  some clearer instructions for upgrade would be greatly appreciated.

    I have Safari 4.1.3 on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 and gmail won't load suddenly. What's up?

    If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.
