Safari for Windows is NOT compatible with Unicode 3.1 CJK characters!

This is an "old" problem since Safari for Windows was initially released. In the meantime, the problem is still not fixed in the latest version 4.0.3 (531.9.1).
Not only Safari (for Windows) does not properly show homepages that contain Unicode 3.1 CJK characters, but it also fails to show Unicode 3.1 CJK characters (it shows "squares" instead) in the whole application, such as Search box and all dialog boxes. Will this be fixed in the next release?
By the way, it is strange that Safari 4 for Mac is Unicode 3.1 compatible.

To speak more precisely, the Safari for Windows doesn't support CJK characters of Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B.
The following test illustrates the incompatibility of Safari for Windows:
1. Sample text displayed in Firefox 3.0.2 on Fedora 9.

2. Sample text displayed in Safari 3.x/4.x on Windows XP with "MingLiu Ext-B" (an Ext-B font provided by Microsoft) installed.

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
It does this on all machines that I have tried.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Safari 5.1 is not compatible with my SuisseID

After updating Safari my SuisseID doesn't work with Safari 5.1. The Login crashes Safari.
I thin it comes withe the awful plugin / extension upgrade.
Why can't both concepts live together a while till all software providers got a chance ?
I'm very angry and upset about Apple so far.
regards
Frank

Why can't both concepts live together a while till all software providers got a chance ?
Just so you are aware, Apple is not repsonsible for updating third party Safari add ons. It's up to the developer to do that. Visit the SuisseID site. Perhaps you can find a contact link to ask if they plan on updating their software for Safari 5.1 compability.

When Firefox launches a window opens that says a plugin for Kaspersky is not compatible with firefox. I have to close that window fefore firefox will lsunch.

I have gone into options, General, Extensions. This Kaspersky add-on is not present. Kaspersky used to be my anti virus software. I called my self deleting that software. I don't know where firefox is getting it.
Firefox is my default browser. I cannot launch links without closing the error window that comes up.
I am considering deleting firefox and reinstalling. Just haven't done that yet.
Any advice would be appreciated

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

HT5271 Safari 5.1.7 not compatible with flash player plug-in

Hello I just got the 5.1.7 version of safari and also updated the flash player to the latest version, and all the time I get the safari freezing randomly in the web pages, I solved the issue by trashing the plug-in from the library, but of course I can't open the web pages that require it... What should I do, please help!!

HI..
I solved the issue by trashing the plug-in from the library, but of course I can't open the web pages that require it.
Not sure how that solved the problem...
Sounds like there may still be an old Flash version installed.
Follow the instructions for uninstaling the current copy of Flash then reinstalling here > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Then restart Safari.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video.
BTW... 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.
If you still have problems with sites that stream Flash content, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Windows 8 not compatible with FTP connections?

Ok I researched this for 2 days now and I am a freelancer. This is the only way I can make a living so I really need to fix this issue...
On my windows 7 desktop, I can connect with any FTP and be fine. It will connect successfully and never log me out until my session goes idle like usual.
However, on my Windows 8 laptop, I tried Filezilla, FireFTP, SmartFTP, Winscp, and even the Windows Explorer FTP access.. no matter what site I try to connect to via FTP (I tried around 5), it will not let me connect. This seems to be a Windows 8 issue.
So I tried to workaround it. I installed VirtualBox with Ubuntu 13.10 and it still won't connect. Maybe because my Windows 8 OS is running in the background, who knows.
How do I fix this? I only get the error : timed out.. or can't connect. Nothing informative. However, I connect to all 5 locations with my Windows 7 computer perfectly fine.
I need to get this to work on my laptop so I can freelance since I travel and do contract work.. this is super frustrating and I don't want to have to switch to a mac.

Do you have a third party firewall running? That could be doing the blocking.
If not, then just as a test, disable the Windows 8 firewall and try it, if it works then we have to figure out just what rule is blocking the connection.
I have no problem with FTP on Windows 8, I use it a lot, but most of the time I just use the built in command line FTP, though I have used Internet explorer some.
Which Windows 8 are we talking about here? (RT, Pro, ...)

Safari 5.0.6 not compatible with the LOOP

My homepage is Sympatico which has now upgraded to the LOOP. Everytime I go to my hompeage it tells me my browser is not supported. I am running MAC OSX 10.5.8 with Safari 5.0.6.
The LOOP says that I must be at Safari 5.1.
Is this as simple as upgrading Safari and what issues might I have if I did this? I would rather change my home page than get myself into a week of issues becuase I tried to upgrade.
Thanks
Tommy

Niel, I will be more specific
1) What is the most logical thing to do?
2) What ramifications might I have by doing it?
I should upgrade Mac OSX 10.5.8 to what Mac OSX ? Am I limited to what I can upgrade to?
I should upgrade SAfari 5.0.6 to 5.1 or to somethnig more current?
Would upgrading browser or OS be recommended or simply change homepage because the pitfalls of upgrading are too great?

Urgent !!! I must download SSPS for doctoral program, not compatible with Firefox.

I use Firefox for all my classwork for my doctoral program. However I have assignments in Statistics that require IBM SSPS, which I am told is incompatible with Firefox. I am trying to use Internet Explorer for that download, but Firefox will not let me do so. This is an urgent matter with doctoral papers due Monday, 1/13/14.

Hello,
Can you please be a bit more specific about the issue you are facing. As I understand you are trying to use [http://www-01.ibm.com/software/analytics/spss/ IBM SSPS] on Firefox and the application is not displaying properly. Is that the issue you are facing?
And from what you mentioned the application is showing up fine on Internet Explorer. Is that the case?
Thank you

Jabber Client for Windows video not working with ManyCam

Hi everyone. We've been kicking around the Cisco Jabber client and I've noticed a small issue when it comes to video. I use a software package called ManyCam (http://www.manycam.com/) which creates a web cam that allows me to put effects on my actual web cam's video feeds. Primarily I use it when I'm in a remote office and have a video stream back to the main office I can put effects on the screen like "On a conference call" and such so people won't get upset when they approach me and I fail to respond to them. I use it with other applications just fine but with Cisco Jabber (v9.2.0 Build 496) when I attempt to set it the ManyCam camera as the video source in the video configuration of Cisco Jabber the preview doesn't appear. As well when I connect to another Cisco Jabber user they do not see my video stream.
Anyone else notice this? Or does anyone else have a link to some similar software that will give me equivalent functionality to ManyCam that works with Cisco Jabber?
Thanks!

Only if they are on a Mac using iChat(gmail account).

Print Preview in Safari for Windows does not display Flash object

I have a web page with images, text and a flash movie in several divs. I can see all the objects on the page but when I print preview the flash object is not displayed. The same problem occurs in Firefox 3 but not in IE6/7 or Opera9.5
Any clues/help would be greatly appreciated.

Click Help -> Report Bugs to Apple.
I'm hoping they fix it.

It seems that roboform for u3 is not compatible with firefox 5 and higher. am i right?

According to the Roboform site, I can't upgrade to later versions of firefox and so can't use portable version. on the other hand, i have roboform everywhere, and perhaps that's good enough?

Check with Roboform support about that.
Firefox Portable and U3 Firefox are two completely separate applications, and neither is an official build from Mozilla - they are 3rd party apps.

Which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?
Your only solution to sync with 64bit is via the Infra-red (IR) port on your Zire31...

Safari for Windows plugin

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a plugin for Safari for Windows. I am using the same codebase for FF3 (Windows and Mac) and Safari (Mac), all of which work fine. Safari for Windows is not finding the plugin, however, despite the fact that I placed the DLL in Program Files\Safari\Plugins. I've scrutinized the version table in the resources of another plugin that works, under the assumption that this is where Safari gets info about the plugin, and I've adapted mine so it seems to match. But still no luck. The plugin doesn't show up when I view the Installed Plugins in Safari.
I haven't been able to find any documentation or examples about Safari for Windows plugins. Can someone help? What do I need to do to get the plugin to show up in the Installed Plugins list? A working example would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

We (Sun) don't have much experience with Safari on Windows at this point. Going forward, the new Java Plug-In in 6u10 should work with Safari on Windows, once Safari upgrades their NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces to the versions in Firefox 3.

How do I view pdfs in Safari for Windows?

Have to use Windows 7 at work. Fortunately, I can at least use Safari as my browser. Unfortunately, I can't view pdfs in Safari for Windows but I can with FireFox and IE. Any way to resolve?

What happens when you try to view a pdf file on Safari? In my experience Safari has never worked well in Windows. Use a browser you know works.
Did you check for a PDF reader plugin for Safari?
