Safari and StuffIt 8.0.2

I used StuffIt Standard 8.0.2 to stuff an eBook. When people using Safari on a Mac try to download my eBook, they are greeted with a screen full of code instead of a proper download. All other browsers and platforms seem to work, but Safari on a Mac does not agree with the .sitx file. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
It sounds like the web server that provides the eBook is misconfigured.
Have a read of this article from macosxhints.com.

I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

I am havering trouble with safari and apps shutting down on me all the time what can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks :-)

Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free. For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

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)

Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari and Mail

I read in one discussion that if Safari is slow, you can go to Font Book and select the fonts with a bullet to get rid of duplicate fonts. I did that, and then decided to disable some japanese fonts I don't use.
Now Safari and Mail don't work. Mail won't open at all, and Safari launches but doesn't load and I get the spinning wheel.
I used Disk Utility to fix permissions, and that didn't solve the problem, and now my Disk Utility also says "Application Not Responding".
I also went back to Font Book and enabled all the fonts I disabled. Still nothing.
( I can use Netscape-so it's only Mac applications I guess)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Wow- i fixed it! I remembered that when I was in Font Book originally, there were some fonts disabled, and I enabled them.
I couldn't remember EXACTLY which ones, but I disabled some I thought were the ones, and VOILA!
Mail works, Safari works...what a relief!
And it only took me HOURS...oh well.
If this might help anyone, here are the fonts I disabled again-
BeteNoirA Regular
BoyzRGross
Chrome Yellow
Coventry Garden
FancyPants
HardlyWorthit
PleasinglyPlump
RaggMoppRegular
Anyone know if I should throw these fonts away? maybe a stupid question, but I'm not very good at this stuff and hesitate to change anything.

Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2. When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices. When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive. The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one. Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500. It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem. On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

I updated iTunes and Safari and my iTunes library has vanished

Help, earlier today I was in Safari and it got hung for so long (10 or more minutes) that I turned to computer off by pressing the power button (I know this was not the best course of action, but I couldn't remember the keystroke command to force quit and I sure couldn't look it up because my browser was not responding). Okay, so when I restarted my computer kindly notified me that software updates were available for Safari, iTunes, and two security items, so I clicked to load them (I've had some annoying reauthorizing when doing this with iTunes before, but never a big problem). So the computer restarts after installing and I go to iTunes and there is no library, no playlists, nothing that was there before. I still have everything on my iPod, but I don't know how to retrieve the lost stuff (and no, I haven't backed it up, I have the ipod and the cd's and presumably the itunes store will restore my purchased files if it comes to that). If anyone has experience with this please guide me out of this tragic debacle. Thank you!

Look in your Users > [username] > Music > iTunes folder. What's there?
When you say you have "everything" on your iPod, is that "everything" that you are missing? If so, you can use Senuti (http://www.fadingred.org/senuti/) and reverse copy it.
From what I understand the iTMS will not restore lost music.

Safari and image ALT tags

I was testing out some html stuff last night involving images, I hover over a few images and to my absolute horror - realised that ALT tags weren't working.
Now I can't remember if they worked before I updated to 10.4.5 but I think they did as I distinctly remember seeing alt text as images were loading but I cannot be 100% sure.
The only changes I've made recently is 10.4.5 and installed flash player 8 plugin.
Someone please tell me that ALT tags do work in safari and that they are not working due to an update bug or setting or something???
Please!!
Thanks

Hello,
The current version of the service does not include the functionality to update a page title and description. For the images, the ALT text can be updated by opening the Advanced menu on the right and filling in the Tooltip field.

Updating and stuff. please read

Right....
I have an iphone 3gs and its registered with my imac....
My friend also has one, but doesnt own a computer to use with his phone. When he started it he did it at someone elses house on his computer, but he never goes there.
We need to update the software cos theres a problem with safari, and ideally he could back up his stuff on my imac.
How can this be done???
THANKS

Q. 1: No. Maximum supported RAM is 4 GBs.
Q. 2: Yes, you can replace the hard drive. There are already 160 and 200 GB 7200 RPM drives available and 250 GB 5400 RPM drives available.
However, you don't need to replace the hard drive. You can simply get external storage (up to 2 TBs currently) that connects via Firewire. You can store your video files on the external drive to save space. Your editing software will not use up that much of a 160 or 200 GB drive.

Internet on all apps except Safari and App Store?

Hi,
I got a question. I just bought an iPhone yesterday (before this I had Blackberry, but it broke for the second time already). All things work, got my apps installed and stuff like that. Now the problem is:
Whenever i am NOT on Wi-Fi but i'm on the mobile network there is a problem. I can not connect to the App Store, Safari or YouTube. In YouTube and App Store I get an error message that it can not connect. But in Safari it loads for two seconds, finishes loading but the page stays white (it doesn't matter which site I try to open).
Is anyone familiair with this problem? A lot of people say that it is the network settings. But may i add: i STILL can acces Twitter, FaceBook and stuff like that. Also WhatsApp works normally. Only Safari/App Store/YouTube won't under 3G/GSM network.
Jacco
Oh BTW. I bought an iPhone 4, 16 GB. It is new and running OS 5.0.1 (I updated).
Some of the solutions I tried:
- resetting network settings
- resetting all settings
- resetting the whole phone (to the point as I bought it just two seconds ago)
- resetting (the home button, lock button method)
- putting in the network settings manually

I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

I click on something in safari and it opens up an ad in new tab

I have 8.0.5 version of safari and ever since i accidentally went on a dodgy website it has been opening up ads in new tabs whenever i click on something in the browser. Can't get anything done and I have tried everything that i have searched online. Please help. this is the second macbook I have had in 3 months because of stuff ups.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you'd rather not remove it manually, you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Invisible td in Safari and Chrome but not other browsers

Hi, I am currently building a homepage with php, mysql, javascript and ofc html.
At the top of my page I have a table with some graphics and a login/menu system. I have several pages in my project and the issue I have only presents itself on 2 of them, also the problem only occures in Safari and Chrome (and not in Explorer, Firefox or Opera). The code is more or less identical so I have a very hard time understanding what the problem could be, maybe someone here has an idea
Here is code from both one of the pages that does not work and from one that does work (coloring is a bit weird since it's both html and php):
http://pastebin.com/AQXZ4rGw
(prior to the code pasted there is some database-stuff but I think that should not affect it)
Best Regards /Oskar

I found out that if I add tons of nbsp; after for example "Add" I get background for as long as the string is, so I can basicly cover the entire width with nbsp; this is not a very pretty solution however.

Safari and the never ending spinner

I ran into a Safari spinner issue today. I was able to access a site via FF but Safari was just spinning. The site was https and a site that I had accessed months ago in Safari but had since changed IP addresses. I tried to reset Safari and I did a
dscacheutil -flushcache
Still just a spinner.
Then I tried https://urlofsite.com/login, still spinner, so I clicked the stop button, manually edited the url to take off everything but https://urlofsite.com/ then hit return and presto, the confirm dialog for the certificate came up and I was on my way.
Turns out Safari was displaying the spinner and thought it was displaying the drop down certificate confirmation dialog, the one that animates out of the window header bar, but it wasn't there and the only way to get it to come up was to follow the steps above.
Weird stuff.
I hope this helps others with similar issues

hello,
I'm running into the very same problem, got this kind of issue with some https websites.
Note that :
- firefox works fine with theses https sites,
- safari seems to work fine with http sites,
- other macos apps seems to have troubles reaching https site (gmail notifier for instance)
- I can't reach https websites at work where I'm behind a Squid http proxy.
Got this issue on a brand new 10.5.3 (leopard fresh install + combo update)

Safari and firefox not opening

Hello,
Right now i am using the internet explorer that comes with the 10.3.9 mac.
the 10.3.9 mac is what i am using and i have both safari and the old version of firefox (3.0) downloaded.
if i try opening either safari or firefox they will bounce once then stay unopened...
what should i do?
(once again this is a 10.3.9 mac so i can not download the newer stuff... also it is not leapord)

Hello asmith17,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums!
the 10.3.9 mac is what i am using and i have both safari and the old version of firefox (3.0) downloaded
I think therein lies the problem.
I think the Firefox max version compatible with 10.3.9 Panther is Firefox v.2. And if you have downloaded a later version of Safari than version 1.3.2 then you are trying to use an unsupported version for Panther.
Try using Camino 1.6.8. It's about the best you can do now with Panther 10.3.9. You will have to upgrade the OS to use any of the more modern versions of the browsers.

Safari and Firefox do not open search engines

I have an IMac 8.1, with OS 10.5.8. Recently, our internet browser programs (safari and firefox) will not open any search engine (google, bing or yahoo). However, I am able to navigate to web-sites that I manually type in (e.g., www.cnn.com). Does anyone know what the cause, and fix, to this issue? Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated
Maybe not. Most, if not almost all, anti-virus software interferes with OS X and is not required.
Try installing Glims:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
