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.

  • Safari and flash problem!

    ok, i have a website running, it is done in flash
    professional 8 and i have flash player 9 installed. It works fine
    on internet explorer, loads up and everything runs great.
    I then tried it on safari and it loads up straight away
    although when i click on the links they dont respond or when they
    do they go to somewhere else, like a scene i have not linked it to.
    Reason i think it is doing this is because it isnt properly
    loaded, it says its loaded and the bar finishes loading but doesnt
    work correctly, if it is then left for a little while it works
    fine.. so i really don;t know what is going on.
    It works fine on an apple mac in preview mode, it is just in
    safari that is causing problems, the mac has flash player 9 also so
    i don;t know what to do now...
    how can i get round this because its been causing problems
    for ages now, basically its saying it has loaded and it hasnt
    properly, and therefore the links are not functioning correctly...
    this is what i think anyway.
    any help or ideas?

    I found a solution to the issues with the 9r115 release of
    Flash player. I got it to install on my G5 iMac (OS X 10.4.11). The
    issue is that your regular ID needs to have admin privileges for
    Flash to install and run correctly. I have two (2) user IDs on my
    machine at home - a regular ID (with no admin privileges) for daily
    use and one I use for admin stuff (for doing software updates and
    installs). (I think it was recommended to split things up this
    way).
    I was able to download and install Flash Player 9r115 using
    my admin account and Safari (I'm using the latest 3.1) correctly
    recognized it was there when I went to places that require Flash
    (cnn.com, scifi.com) - but did NOT recognize it when I went to
    those same sites under my regular ID.
    I also went to Disk Utility and did a Repair Permissions -
    the Flash installer apparently mucks around with the permissions,
    and repairing them seems to fix things.
    Also, I used the Accounts area of System Preferences to turn
    on the admin rights under my regular ID (logged out and in) and
    then Flash worked correctly with Safari at the web sites that
    require it.
    So the workaround for 9r115 seems to be:
    1) make sure your Mac logon ID has admin rights to the box
    (this may not be needed).
    2) download and install the Flash player
    3) run Disk Utility to repair permissions
    4) restart your browser
    FYI, this also fixed issues I had with Adobe Acrobat Reader
    where I had to logon to my admin ID to do check for and install
    updates. Now with machine admin rights on my regular ID, I can
    download and install updates (I had 8.1.1, now I have 8.1.2)

  • Safari and airport problems

    Safari started about a month ago getting hung up when loading, ending up with just not loading at all. Then I started getting messages that I was unable to join my network. I can get online at my office wirelessly(different network)but Safari is still very slow. At home, with my linksys router and Time Warner cable modem, I now only occasionally can get online.When I do get online, Ichat crashes continuously. My desktops work, and my husband's wireless radio works, but not my laptop. I have tried resetting router, called cable company and they said modem was fine. I removed plists and favicons, reset Safari, and added Open DNS numbers, which I later removed because it made connecting worse. I have run Disk Utility and repaired preferences. What is left??? I am reluctant to do the reinstall/archive. Pros and cons of this course of action? Sally

    I had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

  • Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

    I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
    I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
    I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
    Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
    I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
    sorry for the post...

  • Safari tabs+java problem.

    theres a game called 'runescape' i play its a web based MMORPG that is java based, and i often need help from different sites, so i go and make a new tab like any other person does but when i go back to runescape, the window it is in turns white and i have to close that tab and go all the back to runescape...
    i have all the java business installed ect, latest safari and all that but still the window is turning white... any suggestions that could fix this? This seems like something I'd post on runescape forums but it works when in firefox... i don't understand... i have not tried this with any other java application...
    thanks, george

    It does seem to be a Safari issue with not calling a repaint when browsing through tabs. If it's any consolation, It should work if you have it in a separate window though.

  • TMS and JAVA problem

    I have TMS version 14.5 and Java 8 (update 25)
    All of a sudden , when i go to TMS->Conference control Center,
    i enter my credentials and then get Error Click for detail
    I have tried this in Internet Explorer, Firefox , Chrome->same behaviour
    I have added my TMS server to the Security Exception Site List in Java.
    I also have installed Java 32 bit and 64bit version .
    Any idea how i could resolve this?

    No worries Patrick.
    Further to my response to the Original Poster - I'd also strongly suggest you empty out your browser and also your Java cache - having an older file in the cache often contributes to these sorts of issues.
    Another possible solution could be trying both http and https and seeing if there is a difference.  Also see if you can bypass any proxy or web caching server as these can also interfere.
    For what it's worth - I also have two PCs here  with pretty much idential builds (Win8.1 64-bit, Java 8u25 32 and 64 bit installed) - one works fine when using https, and the other I have to use http to get it to work.  And different behaviour/errors on both when it doesn't work.  We can pretty much rule out the TMS server as being the issue as it works both ways on different machines, but on these specific two PCs , there are some unknown differences that are causing issues - we're still investigating these ones, but the majority of our other PCs work fine with no errors reported.  So, if you're having problems on one PC, try another - or try from a RDP session on the TMS server itself to determine where your issue actually is.

  • Safari and Network problem

    I have an MBP and a iMac 24" both Intel core 2 duo computers connected wirelessly to a BT home hub etc. I also have a MBP 2.16g Intel Duo.
    The core 2 duo MBP and Imac both have network and browser issues where the older MBP is ok.
    The network drops out and I have to reset them to re connect.
    Safari and Firefox wont allow me to login to some web sites with user names and passwords like ebay where as the old MBP will login with no problems
    Any ideas, all are up to date and checked for viruses etc

    The probable culprits could be:
    1. Preference files are damaged
    2. Cache file corruption
    3. Incompatible Contextual Menu Items
    4. Incompatible Input Managers
    5. Incompatible Internet Plug-ins
    6. Bad Startup Items
    7. Incompatible Preference Panes
    These for starters. They would be items in the /Home/ or /Home/Library/ folder. I would suggest you start by installing AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - then following the instructions to boot into single-user mode and run the AppleJack routines - use the automatic mode.
    For Safari I would try clearing its history and other caches.

  • Safari and youtube problems

    Ok...so i've had this problem before and i ended up uninstalling safari which turned out to be a bigger mistake until someone helped me to find the right download to restore it...but anyway since restoring the problem i'm about to describe hadn't come up until the last few days...so i'll describe it again here....
    The problem seems to be directly related to youtube...but only with safari, as i've started using firefox (my back up browser) again when the problem comes up and i simply don't have the problem then....only with safari...so hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
    The problem starts with a general freezing of safari, but only when i'm watching a youtube video...and directly on youtube....in other words, embeded youtube videos at other sites don't seem to be an issue, but sometimes, not always and not on every video if i pull it up on youtube.com, the video screen remains a stagnant black...not thinking wheel or sound or static or anything, just a dead black window with no  volume or any other controls.
    So when i go to my subscriptions for excample, there are certain videos that that happens when i go to the vid page....i back out and retry and have tried to reload the page, etc, but to no avail....just a dead black screen.  But then i can try the next video and it will work fine.....and the issue seems consistent with the same videos, tho those videos collectively are random...meaning not from the same poster, or not under a certain resolution setting or anything like that...so as an example, if video A and B and C play fine, then i get to video D and it doesn't work.....then A and B and C always work, and D always does not.....  that's after shutting down safari  and reopening it...after shutting down the computer and restarting it....the issue is persistent on whichever vids had th problem to begin with...so then i thought let's test with another browser and see what happens....it almost seems like those video's flash is not working...but only those specific videos and only on Safari...
    So then i pull up firefox and they all play fine, noooo problem...period....no problem on firefox....so i've determined it somethin to do with Safari...but the what and the how to fix are my problem....has anyone else experienced this and maybe know how i can at least find an error log or something that i can post here it will help someone to help me fix it?
    running safari 5.1.7 on os 10.6.8
    Any help thqt isn't telling me to retry the things i've already tried here is greatly welcome and will get the Helpful button and hopefully teh problem solved button.  Thanks!

    sorry, did a search and nothting came up for some reason, but as i posted i see posts on the right that sound like my problems so i'm tryin them as i see them and updating my question accordingly.....said to turn off extensions...and that was my first solution the last time this happened, and they have never since been turned on....so they are already off....so that's not helping either...

  • Safari and Firefox problems: hotmail, facebook ect. don't work

    I am having all sorts of problems with Safari and Firefox. I cannot get on hotmail, facebook and many other sites, but I can use google, just half the links won't load. Ran diagnostics, reset safari, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions??

    Erin...
    Empty your browser caches more often.
    Deleting cookies may help also. Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    If emptying the cache nor deleting cookies helped, try Safari in another user account.
    If you have the same problems there log back into your admin account.
    Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

  • App Store, Safari, and Netflix Problems, please help

    Im showing a strong wifi connection with my ipad 2, but when trying to access itunes or the app store, the pages wont fully load. Some of the thumbnail images will only show ? Marks and sometimes page wont even load at all until i try it again. Same happens in safari and netflix. My iphone 4 is working fine however when just on wifi. Ive tried resetting network, hard resets and a bunch of other tricks, but nothing working. Some apps are working fine, but why would this be happening with itunes, safari, and netflix? Does anyone have a solution?

    I see you wrote your question at 1:05 AM.  Chances are it didn't get read much as some of us who spend a great deal of time here helping people, just might have been asleep.  Sarcasm won't help you much.
    Now, have you actually fully closed the apps, then reboot?  To fully close the apps, go to your home page, then double tap your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps).  Hold your finger on any of the recently used apps until they all start to jiggle.  You'll see a on the top left of each app.  Touch the minus on each of the apps you're having trouble with to fully close them.  Then touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again, to return to your home page.
    Then, do the hard reset (in case you didn't do it properly).  Press and hold BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    Try the apps after your iPad comes back up and hopefully, they will work correctly.

  • 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.

  • Lion 10.7.4 and java problem

    i recently updated to lion 10.7.4 and noticed that Pogo games stopped loading.  (on my PC they work fine.)
    later, used safari to do something that had worked before but now noticed that the graphic that you're
    supposed to be able to read for security authentication was not displaying.
    seems to be that lion 10.7.4 is causing some problem with java.
    oh, i have a macbook pro that is less than a year old.
    is there some way to uninstall 10.7.4 to get back to 10.7.3 ?
    thanks

    You need to install Java on Lion, it doesn't come by default. To do so, open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal,app) and type
    java -version
    You will get a prompt to install it. After it's installed, go to
    Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.app
    Click 'General' tab and check the 'Enable' box.

  • Amazon and Java problems

    I'm totally updated with my Safari software (2.0.2) and believe I have Java 1.4.2 on my computer (at least I find a settings file for that version as well as a 1.3.1). Just recently on Amazon when I click on an item I get an error message which says "Error Type - Null Value" and things go wrong. Nothing is working correctly after I get that message. I've tried deleting my Safari preferences but that doesn't help.

    More great info, especially the Panther feedback. I will update the summary shortly.
    I outlined the problem and e-mailed Amazon.com. Here's the response I just received. Unless I'm missing something I think it's of no help to us. After I post this I'm rewriting them.
    Thanks for writing us at Amazon.com.
    I am sorry you encountered problems while using our web site. Here
    are some suggestions that usually help:
    1) Try reloading. If the site is taking a long time, or if a page
    loads for a long, long time, click the "Stop" button at the top of
    your browser and then click "Reload" or "Refresh" at the top of your
    browser window.
    2) Clear your cache. Most browsers temporarily store a local copy of
    every page you visit on the web. Clearing your cache deletes all of
    those files and makes room for new ones. Go to the "Cache"
    or "Temporary Internet Files" option on your Web browser (on
    Netscape, go to "Options" and choose "Network Preferences"; if you
    use Internet Explorer, go to "Tools" and choose "Internet Options"),
    and delete the files stored in your cache.
    3) Clear your cookies. The problem may be caused by one of our
    servers, or by corrupted cookie files on your browser. In either
    case, clearing your cookies should solve the problem. For Internet
    Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options > Delete Cookies. For
    Netscape or Mozilla, go to Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security >
    Cookies > Cookie Manager > Remove all Cookies. After doing this,
    simply sign in to our web site again, and your items should still be
    in your Shopping Cart.
    4) Try our standard server. If you have trouble accessing the order
    form, or if the order form gives you an error on the final step,
    using the standard server should allow the order to go through. You
    can select the standard server when you enter your e-mail address and
    password after clicking "Proceed to Checkout." When submitting an
    order on the standard server, if we don't already have your credit
    card number on file, it's best to enter just the last five digits of
    the card number and then call us with the complete number after
    placing the order.
    If none of these suggestions solves the problem, please click the
    link below to send us a detailed description of the error and where
    it is occurring. Any information you can provide us may help us solve
    the problem and lessen your frustration in the future. Thanks for
    shopping with Amazon.com.
    Will try to get them to dig deeper than this.

  • 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.
