Safari cannot find the internet plugin?!?

Hi,
When I try to listen to something on a website I chose Windows Media but I get this error "This page has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:" and it links me to Microsoft to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X, but when I try to download it, I get this error;
"Safari can’t open the page “http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/f/3/0f347443-f1ff-4830-9b20-65da2c6bf11 1/WindowsMediaInstaller.bin” because it can’t find the server “download.microsoft.com”."
I looked in applications, but i don't even have Internet Explorer in there (that I can find anyway).
I would appreciate any help, Thanks
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi,
Radiomat worked fine for me. I tried it with pop-ups both on and off and either way it seemed to launch the same mini player window (with pop-ups blocked I did have to click the link to launch the player). Not much appeared to load into the player window but the audio stream did work correctly.
I tried looking at the code but quickly got lost, so I'm not sure what format they are using to broadcast.
Is it still not working for you (maybe they fixed things overnight :-)? If not, does it work from a test user account?

"video/x-ms-wma" Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in

The page: http://lamega.lamusica.com/player.shtml doesn't load the content because the message "Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in"
I already have this plug-in: Microsoft® Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin but I see in the MIME Type only show "audio/x-ms-wma" but not the "video/x-ms-wma".
Help me....
Thanks a lot

I actually don't get any error message at all. The Q is greyed out and a large ? in center of it and nothing works in Safari. I get the same non-message wherever I go that has QT. I have tried some of the fixes that have worked for other people but nothing works so far. I tossed the webplugin into the trash and restarted Safari. I repaired permissions. I looked at the plug-ins list in help but that was only confusing since I don't have a clue what any of those control. Getting frustrated and have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this.

Safari cannot find the internet plug in

I have a new Intel iMac that initially had no problem surfing any web site. I now have a problem with any page that contains "shockwave". As and example when I try to got to www.autotoll.com.hk I get stopped by the following message...
++Safari cannot find the internet plug in++
++The page “Autotoll” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:++
++http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer++
++Do you want to open the page?++
I have gone to macromedia numerous times and tried to download and install Flash Player 9. I still get the same message.
I have also tried using FIREFOX and get the same message.
How do I install Flash Player 9 properly??????
HELP!!!

Re: FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox (A FIX!!!)

threejay10,
thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
Cheers, TM

Sometimes "Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in" which I've installed!?

The page: "http://www.example.com" doesn't load the content because the message "Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in".
Although, I already have this plug-in: Microsoft® Windows Media Player. What to do?

Just wondering if anyone can help....I do not have a Mac so am finding it difficult to test.
I have just published an online magazine which was initially in the .dnl file format, which has come to light that mac users cannot view.
To try and resolve this I created an .exe file but it would seem that most mac users cannot view this either as they do not have virtual pc etc... which is required to view the .exe file.
I have now created a PDF version which has satidifed some people on macs temporarily but trying desperately to offer something to mac users I thought I had the answer, by uploading the magazine to a browser so it does not require downloading.....but:
The first person to try it out for me got: Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in and on trying to obtain one it could not find one.
I really thought it would work as you do not need the .dnl reader until you try to save the book or detach it to view it on screen.
Does anyone know if there is a way to view the content in a web browser????
Any help would be much appreciated as I do not want to leave the Mac users out.
Here is the link incase anyone fancies trying it for me....any feedback would be appreciated.

Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in (MIME type...x-shockwave-flash)

Well, YouTube and other flash sites worked fine just until today. So I get this message :
+The page “YouTube - Meet Single File” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.+
I've already tried Disk Repair to repair the permissions, installed, re-installed Flash Player and Shockwave Player and nothing yet. System preferences with QuickTime Advanced Panel to enable flash and the other miscelaneous one I unchecked, the normal procedure, I guess. Also checked the libraries to see if I didn't have the plugin in two libraries, but i'm not sure about the library/plugin issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Kinetick

Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in? Please explain.

I cant watch/stream? an internet video because I dont have a mime type plug-in?

RealPlayer is the only option for playing those streams. However, the quality of the video depends on your internet connection speed and the settings in RealPlayer.
To adjust the bandwidth parameters, open RealPlayer and from the RealPlayer menu and select Preferences.
Click on the "Connection" tab.
If you know the speed of your internet connection, you can manually set the connection speed from the drop-down menu.
If you don't know the speed of your connection, click the "Test Connection" button to automatically adjust the parameters.
Once you are finished adjusting the connection speed, quit RealPlayer and go back and try the stream again. I suspect the quality will be improved.

Safari isn't working properly, says it cannot find the Internet plug-in

After I installed Mozilla Firefox, Safari is not working properly. It says:
Safari cannot find the Internet plug-in
The page “Now Casting - The Best in Guides & Labels” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
I tried to install the flasf player and a web page appears saying that it is installed but obviously isn't.
Please tell me what is wrong so I can use my Safari.
Thank you.

Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

Hi
I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
Please help!
Thanks

HI aad1612,
Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
Close Safari
Open a Finder window
Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
Right mouse client to move this file to trash
Empty the trash
Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
Good Luck

Leopard Safari 10.5 "Cannot find the Internet plug-in" audio/wav

Hi All,
Just upgraded my MBP from 10.4 to 10.5 and im having issues viewing any website that has embedded .wav files.
"This page has content of MIME type of "audio/wav" Because you don't have a plugin installed for this MIME type, this content cannot be displayed"
[IMG]http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s132/nathantesta/Picture1.png[/IMG]
This affects both Safari & FireFox.
Any help?

I don't know if there is something odd in your existing Safari application or an out of synch preference setting exists.
Go to your System Preferences>Flip4Mac panel. All boxes, except for "Launch QT Player" ought to be checked. In the Player Panel all boxes ought to be checked. If different, correct then restart Safari and try the file type again.
If settings are correct, reinstall Safari from your Installer DVD. You can follow these instructions - More custom reinstallation options - even though they are intended for Tiger users.
If you reinstall, make sure you "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when complete.

TS3408 I have a MacBook Air and suddenly Safari cannot find the Facebook server. I am out of my home country but no problem with my iPhone. Laptop was no problem either until now. Any recommendation?

I have a Mac Air and suddenly Safari can't find the Facebook server. I am out of my home countryt but no problem with my iPhone's Safari. Any recommendations? I would like to put some pictures on Facebook from iPhoto. Thanks.

you cannot keep up with all of the interfaces 'cause they do not even allow you to use the older os.
You should be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion via the App Store applicaiton on your Macbook Air.   You do not have to upgrade, but it should be an option.
I can't even get an ichat acct 'cause, help?
iChat can use AOL Instant Messenger accounts (they are free), iChat can use Google Talk (Jabber) accounts (actually any Jabber based chat service).   And if you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you shoul be able to get an Apple iCloud account that can be used with the Messages replacement for iChat (think of Messages as being iChat renamed, with additional features).
Oh and my battery very close to a year after buying it, which is one of the reasons I was so called to it, the battery life. Well, having it stripped down to minimal usage, while working on nothing crazy, I could be cordless from nevver reahing 100% anymore, just under that, but gets to 20 percent in about 3 hours. No audio, no video, light low, it bothers me anyway. Please, this is also a huge problem.
Every battery today, has a limited number of recharges (not just Apple's).   Depending on how many times it has been recharged, will affect how much power it will eventually hold. <http://www.apple.com/batteries/>
I know that generally after about 2 years of use (my use, not yours) I find that my batteries have very little life left in them (I frequently have my devices plugged in, so running fully on batteries only is most likely less than yours).
You can have your battery replaced by Apple (for a fee) or by an authorized Apple repair facility.

Time capsule cannot find the internet

I have been using a prior Time Capsule (flat square 2 Tb). Recently I've had intermittent problems connecting to Time Capsule. After resetting it would would again work briefly then the Time Capsule would be lost from the wireless connection to my MacBook Pro using Yosemite. I suspected a hard drive issue and decided to upgrade.
I purchased the latest Time Capsule 3 Tb (ME2LL/A) to increase backup capacity and hopefully faster wireless transfer.
I disconnected the old and plugged in the new. I was unable to connect to the internet. I know the ethernet from the modem is working. It can be directly connected to the computer and all is well. All I get on the Time Capsule is a blinking yellow light. I have done multiple resets without a connection. Thinking I may have a defective unit, I returned it for exchange. The same problem occurred as with the firs unit It cannot connect to the internet.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Yosemite is a cause of pain and suffering.
First things first can we simply bypass Yosemite.. at least do the setup with another computer .. non-yosemite. An iphone or ipad using airport utility for iOS is actually superior by far cf airport utility now in Mac OS. It seems to have far less hassles.
Start with a full factory reset of the TC.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Tell us then if you are forced to use Yosemite what is happening.
When you open the airport utility it should show an airport that needs configuration.
Make sure wireless is on and make sure the new device shows under the wifi icon in the top menu area.
Make sure you set ipv6 to link-local only for whatever connection you use.
I do recommend if you run into trouble and have no luck plus no ipad/iphone available.
Do it manually. Fully manual instructions using ethernet.. here.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule
