Safari doesn't recognize & encoded in iframe src

I'm trying to render in an iframe a page that allows authentication to be sent as part of the URL, but I can't get Safari 4 Beta (10.5.7) to properly escape (or unescape) the '&' required to separate the parameters I'm passing as part of the URL. I've pasted two code snippets, neither of which work, but both work fine in Firefox. Can I change the code, is there better XHTML to be using?
<iframe src="https://www.visualcoaching.com/login.ashx?user=[email protected]&pas sword=passwd&branding=off">
<iframe src="https://www.visualcoaching.com/login.ashx?user=[email protected]&amp ;password=passwd&branding=off">
In both cases, I get the login page of the visualcoaching.com site, not the page I'm supposed to see after authenticating. When I check the page source in Safari I see both '&' and '& amp;' rendered as '& amp;' (without the space) in the iframe tag, which is not working when it comes to logging in. Any suggestions?

There may be a problem with the banking website and not your system.
For example Chase has had tons of problems with log ons or downloads using Safari even the newest versions and in both OS 10.3 and 10.4.x. Chase claims that they are not Safari compatible so I and other users had to resort to Netscape. This may not be your problem, but Chase and Apples. If this is the problem then it is clearly lousy support from Chase and your bank, as many other banking sites such as Wells Fargo, BofA and MBNA manage to play well with Safari!

Our company uses Symantec VIP for authentication. I've just installed a fresh instance of Mac OS Mavericks and setting things up. I've tried to install the Symantec plugin, but Safari doesn't recognize it. It continually asks me to reinstall, but nothing. In Firefox it works fine.
Any ideas why Safari wouldn't recognize this? Driving me nuts.

Safari doesn't recognize latest upload into iPhoto since installing 10.6

I use a website that requires me to upload photos. However, ever since I foolishly installed Snow Leopard Safari doesn't recognize the latest photos in iPhoto until after I close and re-open Safari. Indeed, sometimes that doesn't even work. Any ideas, or is Snow Leopard Apple's ME and no hope for a solution?

I suggest you back up your Mac, then use Software Update (in the preferences window) to install the update.
Interesting. I get better results with the Combo updaters:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
(.. and I run Disk Utility -> Repair Permissions after every software install or update.)

Safari doesn't recognize http addresses

When I input:
http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov
to safari, I get the error message:
Safari can’t open “http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/academy/devonthink/videos/videotutorial- 1.mov” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “http:”.
Huh? firefox had no problems opening the page.

Thanks for the response. Two questions:
1. I should know this, but it's been a long time, how do I create a new account? I know the account manager will allow to designate the new account as an admin.
2. Why is a new account needed?

Safari doesn't recognize that I have OSX 10.5.5

Yes the latest version of Safari will not install on my machine because it thinks that I have less than OSX 10.4, when in fact I have 10.5.5. Have any idea why this is going on? Thanks!

The current Safari version is included with your version of Mac OS X; if you need to install or reinstall it, use the original disks followed by the combo updater.

Safari doesn't recognize flash on macbook air

Since upgrading to Mavricks 10.9.2 everytime I go to a website that runs flash I am asked to install. HBOGO, netflix, youtube. It is telling me that I need to download and install the newest version. I've installed it twice, with no luck.
Any advice?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

After new OS update Safari doesn't recognize Flash Player.

After updating to OS 10.9.4, Safari says "No Flash Player detected" when I try to run several of my web based programs even though I have no problem with the same web based programs when using Firefox. Additionally, this issue only exists when using the administrator account. There is no problem when using my other account set up for my students.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.

Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources

Safari doesn't recognize silverlight

I go to silverlightversion.com and I get nothing but zeroes
Chrome and Firefox all list the version installed. I need silverlight on safri to run a company application. Any ideas?

With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11673384
If you want to remove Silverlight the instructions are here:

Problems with flash. Safari doesn't recognize that I'm up to date.

This problem just started happening around time I updated to mountain lion. Can't play any flash videos because it says my version of flash is out of date. Prompts me to adobe's website where I downloaded latest version of flash. System preferences confirms I have latest version of flash. Still won't let me play any videos on safari and says the exact same thing.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab. Click: Delete All
You may have the latest version installed, but follow the instructions for uninstalling any prior versions here > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Safari 1.24 (OS X 10.3.8) doesn't recognize "disabled" attribute

In Safari 1.24 (OS X 10.3.8), Safari doesn't recognize "disabled" attribute when the input type="password". It works correctly when the input type="text". Is there any work around this issue ? Upgrading to newer Safari is not the answer I'm looking for.
Thank you.

Hi,
If it's a bug in Safari's handling of the input element, then no there's nothing you can do to get around it.
What are you trying to achieve? If you explain your aims maybe someone could offer an alternative solution.

Safari doesn't open new domain name .direct without www

When I try to open a domain like "mydomain.direct" Safari opens google search, but if I try to open "www.mydomain.direct" the website opens ok. Safari also doesn't open 3rd domains like "something.mydomain.direct" and sends me to google search.

Hi ..
Safari doesn't recognize: mydomanin.direct as a URL. That's why it's triggering a Google search.
That's why www. works.

Full screen Safari doesn't open new windows

Hi,
In my Safari preferences I have "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" set to "Never".
When Safari has at least one window that is not in full screen mode, then links from other applications seem to open new windows perfectly fine.
However, when all Safari windows that are open are in full screen mode, then links keep opening in tabs in on of those windows.
How can I make Safari to just open a new window all the time, even when I only have full screen windows open?

Hi ..
Safari doesn't recognize: mydomanin.direct as a URL. That's why it's triggering a Google search.
That's why www. works.

Safari doesn't support iFrames????

I went on the Black and Decker website to register a new tool and I was told I could not because my browser didn't recognize iFrames. I have no idea what iFrames are and why Safari doesn't work.
I did get on the site using FireFox.
Tried a second time with Safari and it opened the registration page, but the content was in a very narrow viewing window with scroll bars (unlike FireFox that filled the entire browser window).
Something is really funky.

Hi Derryl S,
I went on the Black and Decker website to register a new tool and I was told I could not because my browser didn't recognize iFrames.
Black and Decker is probably Safari unfriendly ...
Could you register the new tool via Fire Fox ...
If this is a yes, than have fun with the new tool.

Media Encoder doesn't recognize Behringer USB mixer

I just purchased a Behringer Xenyx X1222USB mixer to use for live stream events using Flash Live Encoder on my MacBook Pro. Flash Encoder doesn't recognize the USB input from the mixer. Other I know the computer recognizes it since I went into the Audio Settings and can see the USB input there with audio levels.
I use Yosemite platform. Any help needed as soon as possible.

So, it looks like Media Encoder is stuck in a trial version? The only formats available are indeed .f4v, .flv, .mp3 & h.264. Is a reinstall of Media Encoder the fix?
