Safari and the BBC

I'm using a macbook with 10.4.8 and realplayer through safari. Every 2or 3 mins I get a connection timed out message when listening to the BBC, any ideas?

Thanks so much for the reply.
I'm in Alabama. I'm using the version of player downloadable from the BBC, although it's a full version of Realplayer 10.1.0 (412) so I'm told. The problem happens on both an older Powerbook G4 with OS x.4.8 and a new Macbook with OS x.4.8.. I wonder if it could be something to do with the BBC? The problem occurs after 1.58 mins, athough last night we listened to a radio 7 programme without any interupution. My desk-top I Mac on the same Airport network with the same Realplayer settings doesn't have the same problems
I've played with all the time out and bandwidth preferences and nothing makes any difference!

  • Safari and the BBC radio player....

    Hi all,
    Not sure where this is best being placed - so sorry if this is the wrong place. I have an iMac at home and have been listening to BBC radio stations happily through Safari for the last couple of years. I know that I downloaded something to make it work. I now also have a macbook pro as my works machine and I want to be able to listen to the radio within the office as I do at home.
    I just can not seem to get it to work - as far as I can tell I have downloaded flip for mac, real player and even windows media player for the mac - but it still will not play the stations.
    All help and advice very much appreciated.

    Questions about Safari would not be out of place in the Safari area. Tip: before you post there add the link to what you are not getting to work. I can tell you one thing, the obsolete and buggy WM Player for mac is not the solution.
    Have you tried Firefox? I just went to BBC radio homepage and listened live to BBC radio , which , using Firefox caused Quicktime (supported by Flip4mac) to launch and start playing the stream.

  • Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad.

    Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad and I don't know what happened or how to get them back. The restrictions are off and I treys to search for them but they still didn't show up. I need help!

    You cannot delete the preinstalled apps. nor can they be downloaded again. They have to be on the iPad.
    How did you search for them? Did you swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search field at the top of the screen?
    Did you try a reset yet? It's like rebooting your computer and it resets the system.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

    You can transfer your purchases before you start, to make sure all apps and purchased media is part of your iTunes library on your computer.
    All other data which is part of the backup will be missing, see more details about the content here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

    Empty the Safari cache by pressing Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.
    If not, from the Safari menu bar click History > Clear History
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

    Hello.
    Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
    Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
    Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
    Any ideas ?
    Using ethernet but wireless acts same,
    Cliff

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

    Hi...
    Quit your browsers.
    Open the Finder.
    From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Typs this exactly as you see it here:    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
    Relaunch either Firefox or Safarai and try downloading a PDF document.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro.  Had just selected link via safari and the compuuter locked-up.  It won't turn off...don't seem to have an option (no contol,alt,delete like PC).  How do I unlock/reboot?

    I have a new Macbook Pro.  Had just selected search via Safari and computer locked-up.  How do I unlock/reboot?  On/off doesn't do anything...no  cont/alt/delete option like PC, no easy battery removal available.  What's the secret?

    Hold down Option Command Escape at the same time... from the drop down Menu choose  Force Quit Safari.
    Or,
    Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.

  • 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)
