Safari and java issues

Hi, i am using a brand new MBP with Leopard. I play a java based game called Runescape in one window, and in another window i have their (also java) forum opened. When i try to switch windows, by ex. clicking on a link in forum window, there is some flashing of both windows appearing (like one is highlighted and than another), and i have to click more than 2 or 3 times before the desired window is selected. I have no such problems on my PowerBook G4 with tiger and latest Safari on it. Any ideas?

The newly discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.

Safari and Facebook issues since Yosemite upgrade

OSX 10.10
Safari 8.0
Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been having numerous issues on Safari with Facebook, but not on any other website. The issues are:
- Sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) only loads a few posts in my timeline (as few as 4) and then stops
- Sometimes (maybe 50% of the time) a few pictures are not displayed, but only a little question mark
- Sometimes (about 10% of the time) I cannot click any of the links
- Sometimes (about 20%) I get a Failed to Open Page screen with the message Safari cannot establish a secure connection.
I have tried the following:
- Turned off any extensions
- Cleared the History and Cache (as well as moving the cache.db file for Safari into Trash and then restarting Safari)
Neither of these seemed to have any effect. Any ideas what to do next?
If I delete Safari and re-install, is there some way to keep all my bookmarks?

Hi ..
If you delete Safari on a Mac running Yosemite v10.10, there are no standalone downloads to reinstall the app. You would have to restore OS X using OS X Recovery. Better to troubleshoot the currently installed Safari app.
Try OpenDNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
f that doesn't help, try Google's DNS > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Safari and HughesNet Issues.

Hello fellow Mac users. I am at my wits end. I had a HughesNet system installed 3 weeks ago and want to blow up both my Mac and the dish. I can not get more then 3 pages to load correctly. I have 1 of 3 things happen.
1- Say I am viewing Yahoo then go come to Apples website. It stays on Yahoo but my header bar says Apple. No matter what I do it stays on that first site. I have to end up shutting down Safari and try again.
2- I get half the page loaded then it stops and goes to a totally different page altogether. Very freaky...
3- This is the most common... URL Not Found. I will have to try the site 6-10 times.
I have spent 5 hours with HughesNet Tech support and they say it is my computer and not them. Well it never did it before them but hey stranger things have happened.
Any help? Any ideas? Thank you very much....

Apple's WebKit seems to have issues with satellite connections. Download and try Camino instead. We have HughesNet here and Camino is much more reliable. The description of problems sounds like there may be more to it though. First thing is to try Camino, and see if that solves it. If so, you know it's a software thing with Apple's webkit which Safari uses.

Safari and Mail issues

Since I updated to Lion both my Mail and Safari have not been working well. The majority of the times Safari will not even open for me. Mail will open for me but it will not recieve mail and I will not be able to click anything in Mail (I have to work completely with the arrow buttons).
To get them working again I have to re-start my computer. This shouldn't be an issue with Lion, but I don't know what the fix is.
Anyone know?

No problem. They will not be deleted. And you can always backup first your Home folder. Your Application folder is always the same. You must re-configure Safari and Mail to create new preference files, and your System Preferences folder too. Let's see if this works. As for Safari, you can also download from Apple website.

Safari and Java Problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the newest updates to Safari. This problem did not occur until late december when I installed several updates via Software Update.
Problem:
I use a photo uploader on a website from my company (unfortunately I can't give out the URL, as it is protected). But it is similar to many other photo uploader sites - load a Java applet, drag images files into a Java window, the files are added to a upload list and then uploaded.
Now, if I drag 10 items into the window, only one or two will be added to the list. If I drag them in one at a time, all the images will be added. Previously it was possible to drag as many as one wanted in.
Now the really irritating part : During the upload, the Java uploader completely hijacks Safari. The window the uploader allways stays active on top. If I open a new tab or window the uploader window will reappear on top and dominate the action. The only way to get anything done while I am uploading photos is to open another browser like Firefox. Safari is completely occupied with the Java program.
Computer: MBP 2.16 GHz, 2GB RAM, OSX 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Java 5.0 (not sure of the revision, but it is the most recent)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had similar Java problems with Safari and Firefox. I downloaded Navigator and now can run any Java app I need. One thing that may or may not have had any impact: when installing Nav, it asked if I wanted to import settings from Safari or Firefox. I chose not to import any settings. Works perfectly.

I'm trying to use Microsoft Livemeeting 2007 - browser and java issues

My browser and java versions are apparently too new, and I can't seem to figure out how to download and use past versions to properly use the Livemeeting software. I know Livemeeting is outdated software, but this is what the client I'm working with is using, and I need to be able to join web conferences for document viewing/sharing, etc. Any help would be most appreciated, as I've spent hours trying to figure this out, but nothing seems to be working.

Maybe try this??

Problem with Safari and Java

Hi there,
I need help with the above mentioned problem. At first, here is my configuration:
iMac G5 17", Mac OS X 10.3.9, QuickTime 7.0.1 PRO, Safari 1.3 (v312), Java - here is the 'answer of the Terminal app - java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode).
My problem is, that on some sites (e.g. http://home.eduhi.at/member/gru/) I see those coffee cups with the red exclamation marks instead of some java media content.
On the site http://www.bodo.com/javame.htm I could verify that Safari is able to handle JavaScript, but in the line for Java Applets I again see this small coffee cup with red exclamation mark.
In the Safari preferences i have all Java check-boxes marked.
Please, can anyone help me, because I hate it to be forced to use this @&%§# IE from M$ all the time I want to go to sites with Java Applets.
AndreasB

Well... good; when we help each other here, we can't
assume that any step has been taken, unless it's been
specifically identified. I'm sure that makes it all
the more frustrating, since you are a very experienced
user.
Now, then:
-- since you have reinstalled the Java Update; and
-- if you open your Help >> Installed Plug-ins, and
scroll down the list and find these three items:
Java Plug-in for Cocoa -- Java 1.4.2 "JavaPluginCocoa.bundle"
Java Plug-in (CFM) -- Java 1.3.1 "Java Applet Plugin Enabler"
Java Plug-in "Java Applet.plugin"
-- and if Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are checked in:
Safari >> Preferences >> Security, as you say they are; and
-- if Enable Plug-ins is checked in the same section,
as you say it is; and
-- you have repaired permissions, as you say you have; and
-- you have emptied your Cache; and
-- your Icons folder ({YOU}/Library/Safari/Icons) has been
trashed if it is over 750 KB; and
-- you have Quit, then relaunched Safari after all this,
as you say you have; and
-- your {YOU}/Library/Caches and {YOU}/Library/Caches/Safari
folders have read and write permissions
...then, I'm currently at a loss as to what else to suggest.

OS X Lion DMG and Java Issues

I have a serious issue with my Lion installation. In the process of upgrading from Snow Leopard through 10.7 to 10.7.1 to 10.7.2 somewhere in there, Java got badly broken. I tried re-downloading Java for Lion and reinstalling but it gives me an idiot message that my OS version is not compatible. ***?
So I open the package with Pacifist and do an install to default location from the top of the package and all the Java stuff works again. But then within about three days I can no longer open DMG files. I double click them and nothing happens. Disk utility won't launch. If I reinstall the 10.7. combo update, Disk Utility works and DMG files open but if I try to connect to a streaming Java service such as used by Go To Webinar, I never get anywhere. So I am at the point where I can either work with DMG files OR I can use Go To Webinar but not both.
This is idiotic to me, but I cannot even begin to figure out why Java gets broken by applying an update and why my ability to work with DMG files keeps going away and if the two are actually related or there is just some weird timing juxtaposition.
Anyone who has seen this problem and figured out a solution, please wade in.
Thanks!

Well, the issue doesn't seem to be in your User since the Combo Update doesn't touch anything in your User Account. This being the case and assuming you have a backup of your account on another disk, I'd do a clean install of Lion. Then in Setup Assistant migrate over all your stuff.

Safari and Facebook Issue

I just bought my first Mac ever and am having issues that I don't have using Firefox on my Vaio. Facebook loads and loads and loads forever when I click on any link. Only half of the images load on a page. It's really annoying. What's going on?

Ok..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Facebook cookies.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go back to Safari / Preferences. You can access Safari Preferences with a keyboard shortcut: Command , (comma)
Select the Extensions tab. If you installed any Extensions, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
And in Safari / Preferences select the Appearance tab. Make sure: *Display images when the page opens* is selected.
And check your Home folder (accessible from a Finder window in the Sidebar on the left). Open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-ins folder. If you installed any Facebook plugins, move them to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If nothing above has helped, Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the *com.apple.Safari folder*. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads a Facebook page correctly, move that .plist file to the Trash. If there's no difference, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
If you setup any Parental Controls (System Preferences / Parental Controls), that could be causing FB to not load.

Safari and Network issue

I am having an issue with Safari, ITunes, System Update and Mail connecting to the network. I know my network is working because Firefox works just fine; that is what I am using to post this message. Also, I have ran network diagnostics a number of times and it claims to be working fine. Every time I try one of these programs a message will appear such as: "The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again", "Software update cannot check for updates because of a network problem", or "Safari can’t open the page because it could not connect to the server."
I have already tried restarting the computer, unplugging all the lines to my DSL, turning the DSL modem off and on, repairing disk permissions, using the Cocktail Utility, and, as I stated above, I have ran network diagnostics.
So far, all efforts have proven futile.
Mac Mini (G4) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Okay...
Just in case anyone else has this issue, this is how I fixed it. I just kinda stumbled onto this solution. I have no idea whatsoever how this works, but it does.
I went into System Preferences, clicked on Network, and then clicked on Proxies. In the box "Web Proxy (HTTP)" was selected. I unselected it and clicked "Apply Now". All my problems then mysteriously vanished.

OracleDI Installation and Java issues

I am brand new to ODI and just downloaded and installed it yesterday onto a test machine. I have not yet created my DB schemas yet I am waiting for the DBA to create a Test Environment for me to do so in. That being said, when i try to run the Examples that came with the Oracle Data Integrator the OracleDI Demo Repository, Source Data Server and Target Data Server all start up in cmd windows and on all three cmd windows is a statement: "A JDK is required to execute Web Services with OracleDI. You are currently using a JRE"
My system is Windows XP Pro based, I downloaded and installed both j2sdk-1_4_2_17-windows-i586-p.exe and jdk-1_5_0_15-windows-i586-p.exe, but i still receive the same warning on the cmd windows.
Any ideas on how i can switch to the JDK instead of using the JRE? Or any ideas on how to stop this warning from showing up?
Thank you in advance for all the comments and suggestions.
Tom Cusick

ODI uses ODI_JAVA_HOME environment variable to find java.exe
if ODI_JAVA_HOME is not defined it uses JAVA_HOME
For standard features a JRE 1.5 is enough however for Data Service generation ODI needs a JDK 1.5 .
Please be sure the path in ODI_JAVA_HOME is really a JDK
To find out what you are running from a default JVM ( to see if you have a JDK already installed ), type java - version on a command prompt ( what your JAVA_HOME is ).
Find out what your ODI_JAVA_HOME is set to presently ( likely JRE 1.4.2 ). Set it to a JDK 1.5 ( you will need to download a JDK 1.5 for your platform ( not sure which OS you are running ) if you don't already have one ).

Safari and Umlaut issues

We run Safari 6.0.2 under MacOS 10.7.5 using an iMac - since a while, don't ask me what happened, Safari does not except any Umlaut (eg, German) anymore. Instead it displays numbers, letters, and signs - all making absolutely no sense. And it is not possible anymore to search properly in Safari using Umlaut like "Zürich". I looked up quite some discussions, but none of them were solving the problem. Looking for good suggestions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Safari and google+ issues

I've recently discovered that when using Safari (most current version) that many of the icons which were once active in google+ are now inactive only when using safari. these icons work when using google chrome. Also, i've noticed that whenever I do an image search on the google search engine these images cannot be loaded to full size. The list of images will display but once I click on them they will not load up.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Java kills my Safari and slows computer

Everytime I run into Java (script or applet) while surfing on Safari it takes forever to load (at least 3-4 minutes) then slows down every other application until I quit Safari (i.e. copying and pasting in Word takes 5x as long if Safari is running in the background-but only after loading Java). I have all my Safari and Java updates installed. I have emptied my cache, cleared my history, trashed my safari icons folder and set it to read only, I've turned off all my auto-fill preferences, and I even trashed and reinstalled Safari, preferences and all. I have always had issues with Safari and Java, but things seem to be worse since I upgraded to Tiger. Only have this problem on my Powerbook, my G4 tower (which is 3 years older) has no problem loading or running Java, even after the Tiger upgrade. I thought it might be a memory thing, so I ran a hardware test, but everything passed. Any thoughts?

Nevermind. I found my answer! I just cleared my Java cache (duh!) If anyone else has a similar problem go to: Applications>Utilities>Java> and open your plug-in settings, click the cache tab and click clear. Worked like a charm. Java loads instantly now, and no slowing down other apps either!! Woo-Hoo! I unchecked "enable caching" to keep it from happening again, of course you can limit your cache size too.

Other web browsers and security issues?

Since even an Apple KB article recognizes the need for an additional browser and because of Safari's limitations and problems, I'm going to try switching to another browser (most likely OmniWeb and am looking at Firefox, Shira and Opera also though perhaps not as a primary browser) but I'm wondering about their ability to keep on top of any security issues for Mac? (and how do you keep up with security updates?)
Though perhaps unfounded, at least with Safari, I feel that Apple has a vested interest in keeping on top of security issues (for Safari and Java) and I can readily find out about security updates via software updater.

Most of the other Mac browsers have their adherents. They are all good browsers (I have 7 browsers installed to test various web sites and for change-of-pace usage). They all have their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. Only iCab and OmniWeb are still shareware, the rest are now or always have been free (Opera just recently stopped charging for its browser).
I have settled on Firefox as my alternate browser and I use it maybe just a tad more than Safari, but I do switch back and forth between them. The Mozilla foundation is good at getting security updates out when needed. Firefox has a button on the toolbar to check for updates. One nice thing about Firefox is that you can install free extensions which enhance the features available. I have one to supplement tab features, one to control iTunes from Firefox's status bar, one to help me format messages in discussion forums, and one to block ads.
I prefer OmniWeb for doing intensive research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar, showing me which ones I've looked at and which ones I haven't, and giving me great flexibility in rearranging tabs, which are viewable as thumbnails or text names (I have had up to a hundred or so tabs open in OmniWeb.
Shiira is good and its fast. I have not checked for updates for a while, but the last time I updated there was still a problem with Shiira kicking you out of logged-in sites when you moved from page to page with in web site. This may have been fixed by now - they were aware of the problem back then.
Camino is a native OS X cousin of Firefox and is also fast, but is not updated as often.
I would stay away from Mozilla or Netscape unless you need all the additional modules they have and which take up hard disk space. Firefox and Camino represent the browser module of Mozilla/Netscape. Mozilla and Netscape have modules for email, irc chat, newsgroups, and for creating and editing web pages. Netscape is a branded and slightly customized version of Mozilla and is not updated as often.
Opera is a nice browser and some use it as their main browser, but I have not seen anything that really stands out for me, but that does not mean it is not worth a look.
I would stay away from abandonware Internet Explorer.
As for checking for updates, several of them, as with many Mac programs, now have a menu item that allows you to check for updates. Most of them also announce their updates on both VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
Happy Exploring.
