Safari for windows what about Panther ?

Why is it that Apple will go threw the trouble and make Safari for Windows and yet leave it's own OS (10.2 and 10.3 ) out in the cold ? I use Safari as my default browser and yet can't get past 1.3.2 and here Windows gets a nice and shiny new version of our browser , what gives?

Excellent question, i wondered this myself. I personally couldn't even download WebKit nightly build, we concluded, me & the one helpful poster to my question, Webkit ( Safari w/ bug fixes) is for os Tiger 10.4 Only!!
Which is now up to 10.4.10, hmm no 10.3.10 for Panther, or Jaguar, no webkit no S3, but ahh yes one for Windows, and the beat goes on.

  • 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.

  • Safari: For Windows!?

    From Job's WWDC presentation:
    11:09AM - "There is one other thing we wanted to tell you
    about that we
    think you might like. Safari... it's been a wonderful
    success, there are now
    over 18m Safari users. It's climbed from 0 to 5% across the
    entire internet.
    If you look at the world of browsers, IE is about 78%, Ffx
    15%, Safari 5%,
    other 2% -- we would love for Safari's market share to grow
    substantially.
    But how are we gonna do that? Safari for Windows!"
    -Darrel

    SAN FRANCISCO - Apple Inc. launched a version of its Safari
    Web browser for Windows-based PCs on Monday, pitting it against
    Microsoft Corp.'s dominant Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox.
    "What we've got here is the most innovative browser in the
    world and the most powerful browser in the world," Apple CEO Steve
    Jobs said during his keynote speech at the company's Worldwide
    Developers Conference.
    Safari, which was released a few years ago for Apple's
    Macintosh computers, has captured about 5 percent of the world's
    browser market share with more than 18 million users, Jobs said.
    Internet Explorer, which is built into Windows, has a 78
    percent share, while Firefox has rapidly climbed to gain about 15
    percent of the market, he said. Like the other Web browsers, Safari
    is available at no charge.
    Jobs claimed Safari performs twice as fast as its
    competitors.
    Never one to disappoint his audience, the iconic chief
    executive - in his final highlight of his 1 1/2 hour speech - said
    Apple's upcoming iPhone will run Safari.
    That means, Jobs said, that any application designed to run
    on the Safari browser for Macs also would be fully compatible with
    the iPhone - Apple's highly anticipated combination cell phone,
    iPod and wireless Web browser. The iPhone will be available in the
    U.S. on June 29.
    The move to make Safari available to non-Mac users is not
    unprecedented: Apple also makes its iPod media players and iTunes
    Store for Windows. The strategy is aimed in part at drawing more
    people to its Macintosh computers.
    It appears to be paying off. Mac sales have grown
    significantly over the past two years, pushing its slice of the PC
    market in the United States from 3.5 percent in 2004 to 4.9 percent
    in 2006, according to IDC, a market research company.
    "Safari is another Trojan horse that introduces an innovation
    of Apple to the Windows community and entices them to the Mac
    platform," said Tim Bajarin, an industry analyst at Creative
    Strategies, a technology consultancy.

  • Very poor implementation of XMLHttpRequest streaming with Safari for Window

    I hope this post reaches Apple engineers. This is critical for us to resolve this. I am a member of the developer network, so if using incident support is necessary, it can be used. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I have implemented a test to compare XMLHttpRequest streaming performance for different browsers. Safari for Windows 5.0.3 had the worst results compared to Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, I think this problem was introduced after Safari 3. The test consists of a server pushing messages of about 350 bytes to the browser at a rate of about 300/s. Once server pushes 10,000 messages, it closes the connection and browser opens new one repeating the cycle. There were several problems associated with Safari: 1) Safari could not process much more then 300 messages/s, that is quite low. Chrome had no problem processing 1,000. If, for example, 500 m/s was used, Safari would quickly allocate hundreds of meg of memory and crash. 2) Safari starts with about 64MEG of memory allocated. Once the test page is opened, memory quickly climes to 150MEG and as test progresses to >400MEG. Once the connection closes, it drops to 150MEG again. Chrome's memory did not fluctuate at all staying at 32MEG for the same test. 3) CPU was steadily claiming as test progressed and then dropped as connection was reset, creating CPU spikes. It reached about 50% CPU before connection was closed. Chrome's CPU stayed at about 2% all the time. This is the code: Server. Should be run with the latest Java Tomcat 7. Configure Tomcat to use Http11NioProtocol: package test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometEvent; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometProcessor; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class WebFrameworkServletXHRReconnects extends HttpServlet implements CometProcessor { @Override public void event(CometEvent event) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = event.getHttpServletRequest(); HttpServletResponse response = event.getHttpServletResponse(); if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.BEGIN) { System.out.println("Begin for session: " + request.getSession(true).getId() + " " + response.getWriter()); response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache,no-store"); response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,max-stale=0"); event.setTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss: "); for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { out.print("{\"messageType\":8448,\"requestId\":"0",\"eventType\":1,\"symbolId\" :[\"BAC.EA\",0],\"fields\":[{\"header\":"0",\"type\":6,\"data\":[3993,2]},{\"hea der\":"55",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1185,2]},{\"header\":54,\"type\":6,\"data\":[321 8,2]},{\"header\":"5",\"type\":6,\"data\":[6617,2]},{\"header\":52,\"type\":4,\" data\":[15]},{\"header\":"12",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1700,2]}]}"); out.flush(); if (i % 10 == 0) { try { //Thread.sleep(60); Thread.sleep(30); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } if (i % 100 == 0) { System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()) + i); } } out.close(); event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.ERROR) { event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.END) { event.close(); } } } client: <script type="text/javascript" src="log4js.js">

  • Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

    First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
    Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
    Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.

  • 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?

  • Print as pdf in safari for windows

    When I print an article from the web as a pdf file with safari for windows, the PC creates by default a non-text file that I have to convert into a text file in order to access/highlight etc. the text. Both with Safari for Mac and with IE I directly get a text pdf. What can I do to make Safari for Windows to do the same thing by default?
    Thanks for any help!

    It sounds like you're confused. Windows has no built-in capability to create anything as a PDF file, so I don't see how you would get one unless you had Acrobat Pro installed.
    If you want to be able to save web pages as PDF files, you need to install a PDF writer in your system, which would let you do that via any web browser. You can download a free PDF driver here: CIB PDF Brewer.

  • Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows?

    Hello. Is it possible to clear the entire Bookmarks list at one time in Safari for Windows? I would like to continue to use the Safari browser even though I have Windows 7 as the operating system on my notebook. When I try to delete bookmark entries one at a time, after deleting several, errors start popping up in the browser. Can I reinstall Safari without the Bookmarks I've built up? Please help a humbled Safari user.

    Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
    If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
    I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

  • Safari for Windows - Downloading application problems

    Hi
    Everytime I try to download Safari for Windows all I get is a small file of 4k, called SafariSetup.exe.
    Seems to be an incomplete download.Tried on my MacBook and my PC same result. Is there a problem with the download? Tried in safari mac, opera, firefox and google chrome.

    Everytime I try to download Safari for Windows all I get is a small file of 4k, called SafariSetup.exe.
    That's the right filename, but certainly the wrong file size for a Safari Installer.
    How are you connecting to the internet with the MacBook and the PC, Mark?
    For example, my Lenovo T61 is connecting wirelessly to a LinkSys WRT54G wireless router that is plugged into a Motorola SB5100 Surfboard cable modem.
    What sort of setup do you have?

  • Safarai for Windows crashes

    I am using Safarai for Windows version 3.0.4, on a XP desktop, I do have it set up as the default internet browser. The problem that I'm having is when I'm on a site that requires me to sign in, if I press the Tab key on my keyboard after typing in my user name it will crash and bring up the "Do you want to send a error report to Microsoft?" But if I use the mouse to move to the next field to enter my password it works fine. Why is it doing this if I use the Tab key instead of the left button on the mouse? I would like to be able to use the Tab key in case the batteries in the mouse stop working and I don't have any spare batteries on hand. Thank you for your help with this situation.
    Chris

    It's not the correct place, you are supposed to click the the bug button which is located immediately to the left of the addres bar
    I used it to report some ommissions, errors and annoyances; but it crashed Safari and raised a General Protection Fault to Windows - staggeringly impressive in its inneptitude - a bug report mechanism which is buggered
    Re your particular issue; from what I've read Safari 3.x does not support authentication in this laughably labelled "beta" release. A messagebox or dialog might have been nicer than a program abend for a feature so obviously flawed, assuming that it is implented at all: but hey, "it's beta" as the Aplle fanboys will no doubt post if you continue to mention Safari's shortcomings

  • My toolbar changed colors in Safari for Windows

    My entire menu bar, toolbar, and bookmarks bar is now a weird beige / yellow color. Anyone have any idea what's up? I'm using Safari 5.0.2 on XP. No other browser is affected, my theme remains the same, and I can't find a preference that affects this. It only changed on the last update of Safari for Windows.
    You can see it here:
    http://bit.ly/eQLd5D

    I've the same "problem". Everything is in an ugly Beige/yellow colour. I'm using 5.0.4. I have no idea how to change it, and I have tried a lot of things. On my laptop, I use a older version of Safari, there is everything in a kind of silver colour.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 + Safari for Windows problems

    Hello
    Well first off I would like to Thank Apple for making a Version of Safari that runs on Windows. As a web developer (using DW CS3 for Windows) I always had to upload a test webpage to a server, look at it on a Mac, and go back to Windows to make adjustments. Now I can do it all in Windows.
    I am having a problem with previewing a page on my local machine. When I preview in Safari it just opens my Safari Homepage. I have to preview in Firefox, copy the URL, and paste it into Safari to view my page in Safari.
    I don't know if this is a Dreamweaver issue or Safari issue. Any help at all would be great. Thank you.

    Thanks, Sarah.
    My post went out before I was finished. Then tried editing it, during which you replied. My reply to you was then lost, because I'm not allowed to edit... Sorry.
    I have been busy figuring out what Safari for Windows will and won't play back through tedious trial and error. It did leave me insecure as to the reliability of AE's output; hence my question. But with this news, I guess it makes more sense for me to just leave it, and hope Safari for Windows users will figure to get another browser, right? Or wait.. maybe I could put in a message that will show to those users...
    Thanks again & all best,
    Phil

  • Safari for windows and itunes won't connect to the internet

    Hi all,
    I tried to connect to the itunes store this morning and it does't work. I can't tell you the last time I actually used the itunes store. Months ago at least. I'm not getting an error message or anything. The bar gets less than half way accross then just stops.
    Second problem. After finally getting fed up with internet explorer I decided to change my browser to Safari (for windows). It insalled fine and opens ok. But it just won't load any web pages. Again, no error messages or anything. The bar gets part way accross then just stops.
    I have tried all of the tips on the apple website and I've also tried all the tips in the forums that have worked for everyone else but not me.
    I've added Safari and checked that itunes is allowed in my firewall. Even tried turning my firewall off.
    I've checked that I'm not connecting through a proxy server.
    I've tried resetting the host file.
    All of the software on my computer is up to date.
    I've tried flushing the DNS settings.
    I've run diagnostics in itunes. (All ok)
    My internet explorer runs ok so there is no problem with my internet connection.
    I've tried just about everything I can think of and nothing works so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Emma

I have a lot of apps in my library now, but I'll not format my PC just to get iTunes and Safari working. Sorry, but if it doesn't work or we don't receive any response, I'll ditch Apple products for good.

  • Safari crashes on opening - Safari for windows

    I have used Safari for Windows as my main internet browser for at least the past 4 months and I have never had any trouble with it. Yesterday when I tried to run Safari it simply crashed, even before loading anything. I have tried re-installing it but to no avail. What can I do?
