Safari does not display videos anymore!

I am using Safari 6.0.1 and Mountain Lion (everything up to date) on a brand new macbook pro retina display.
I cannot watch videos from most websites, including youtube. Why?
This was working fine on my previous laptop under snow leopard. Any first price PC is able to play videos straight out of the box but the high end super expensive Apple laptop cannot. What a joke! This is so frustrating.
Can anyone please help me get it woring and explain why with all the money they make Apple cannot make new softwares that work straight out of the box.
Cheers.

YouTube videos not playing?
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
2. Are Plug-ins Enabled?
    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Click "Reset"
Best.

Safari will not display video content/flash etc on websites ie youtube etc

I am running Panther 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). When trying to access Youtube, Facebook etc Safari does not display video/animation etc and so Safari closes with an error. It will also not play video content on the Apple website. I would also like to know the following if someone could please help; What is the best software to upgrade to ie Tiger? etc ; What is the maximum memory upgrade for my machine and what would I ask for and best place to buy? Any assistance is much appreciated. Kind regards VJR1OK!!

You may find some improved online performance with Panther 10.3.9 with
the last supported Flash and Shockwave players installed (older ones have
to be uninstalled) and though the use of Camino browser since it is up-to-date.
There still will be some limitations; but if you have the correct Flash/Shockwave
players for Panther installed and get Camino, and use it as a default replacement
for that ancient Safari, that would make a difference. Also, it always makes sense
to get more RAM in an older computer since they usually shipped with very little.
In the case of older computers, often the capacity of the hard disk drive was also
a matter of marginalization. A large enough drive to have plenty of free space in
it, after applications and the OS X is installed, so the system can have room for
temporary files and Virtual Memory, then it can run the last supported OS X ok.
An externally enclosed bootable hard drive (FireWire enclosed unit) could be
used to add space or a second system for use when at a desktop, so for the
sake of discussion, the internal drive would not necessarily need replaced to
check out a different operating system that may need more room in a drive.
RAM is an easy fix; and a new browser from Camino.org - plus those players.
Good luck & happy computing!

Apple tv does not display video from my iphone

My iphone 5 will not display video content on my apple tv, but the audio is working. It works intermittently with mirroring turned on, but I've never had to do that before as I connect to my apple tv via wifi. The audio plays and displays a little icon in the lower left corner of the apple tv screen with the iTunes icon and indicates I have internet radio playing. This has never happened before. I tried the same video from my iPad and it worked fine without activating the mirroring function. All applications are up-to-date. How do I fix this?

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring

Safari does not display pdf's properly...

MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
Thanks

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

Safari does not display images

Yesterday - suddenly- Safari stopped displaying images on any web page. Fo example on Apple.com the picture of the large Apple does not come up and so on. Should I re-install Safari- download again? Just to check the images DO display in Explorer which I had to use to post this.
thank you.

I had exactly the same trouble. I followed these instructions--emptied the cache and ditched the plist file, and when I restarted, they were all there again. I've been suffering with no images for a long time--I wish I would have done this sooner--it was easy!

Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1 does not run Videos anymore

Hi all,
having upgraded to 2.1.1.1 my "Photos" page would not show my videos anymore.
The thumbnails are there (both for video and photos), also I can press play and the video seems to run (at least the progress bar does...).
Pressing pause updates the video frame, however upon resume the frame remains unchanged.
Worked well on the versions before....
Any thoughts ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
This is great news. I am glad you got the system working again.
Unfortunately we have not encountered this sort of issue before and therefore the actual troubleshooting was really hard. I apology all the inconvenience this caused to you.
The team will continue following this case and if any similar indications are seen this case shall be used for reference. We will also re-check our installation procedure to make sure it is not causing such misbehaving.

Safari does not cache videos

Every time I visit a page with movies (quicktime even), Safari reloads the video as if there is no cache. If I use Firefox it does not need to reload the video, it just automatically plays the video from the cache. If I watch Apple Trailers or visit my own .mac website where I have uploaded my iWeb Quicktime films, I have to re-download movies every time I visit the page. I'm not pressing reload, I do have a 400MB cache set in Quicktime pro, I have the same problem on my iMac and my MacBook Pro, and like I said, Firefox does not have this issue. My Quicktime Pro Browser preferences are set to "play movies automatically" and "save movies in disk cache". I am using Safari 3.0.4. I have tried emptying the cache and starting over but I never get a movie to play that I've just viewed without waiting for it to load again. I am in China at the moment, but that shouldn't affect anything since Firefox is caching my movies.
Any ideas to solve this?

I wish I had the answer for you, because I posted a similar complaint weeks ago. Safari doesn't seem to cache images either. If I go to a page that's dynamically generated, then click a link on it, then use the back button, the original page reloads with all new content, instead of just going back to what was there before. It's very annoying.

Safari does not display full URL

Safari 6.0.5 will not display full URL until I click in the URL Location bar. For example, the full URL of this page is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/question-post!input.jspa?containe rType=14&container=2131&fromWidget=true&question=Safari%20does%20not%20display%2 0full%20URL
However, in my Safari location bar it displays only the domain level path, i.e.:
https://discussions.apple.com
Is this new behavior a featue or a bug? Is there any way to make it display the full URL as it has since the beginning of time?
Thanks!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

SAFARI DOES NOT DISPLAY PDF DOCS.

Does anyone know why my Safari browser suddenly does not show PDF docs in the browser window? It used to. I use Version 2.04. A message does appear that says "plug-in cancelled". I don't know why.
Acrobat opens it in Firefox fine, but nothing happens in Safari. I prefer Safari for viewing PDFs online because it is more convenient than having Acrobat start up and drop files on my hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

New 2GB Nano does not display videos menu!

Okay, this is the second iPod Nano that I have had in a month. The first one had a defective drive. Now the new one does not show a menu option for videos! I bought the Nano so that I could download videos from the iTunes store. I can download music and audiobooks without any problem, but NOT videos. What to do? Should I take it back yet again?

Can I be your friend?
Good luck!

What do you want with a 2GB Nano that doesn't play video??? The friend I have in mind is a huge country music fan (which is cool) and he won't care about not being able to watch stuff...

Safari does not display GMail/Google Reader unread counts in tab titles

To reproduce this, do the following:
1. Create a bookmark for either GMail or Google Reader
2. Click on the bookmark under Safari to load either site (make sure it has at least on unread item)
The text in the tab title will not display the unread count. Instead, it displays either "GMail" or "Google Reader". Firefox displays the unread counts for both sites in the tab's title text as follows: "Gmail - Inbox(2) - <email addr>", "Google Reader (2)".
This is the one of the main reasons why I will continue to use Firefox over Safari. Displaying the unread counts in the tab titles allows me quickly glance at the browser's window with both sites loaded in separate tabs to see if there are any unread items.

I had the same problem and was able to find a workaround. The key insight actually came from another one of your (jkwuc89) posts where you mentioned:
Loading GMail or Google Reader from a Safari bookmark appears to behave differently when compared to loading either site from a link on another page.
The solution is to change the address of your bookmark so that it is similar to loading the site from a link on another page. When you bookmark Gmail, it's address will read:
https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
However, edit the address of this bookmark to:
javascript:window.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox'
This Javascript snippet will trick Safari to open Gmail as if you had clicked a link on another page and the tab will display the correct page title including unread count. You can follow a similar pattern with Google Reader or other sites that exhibit a similar problem.
