Safari (in Snow Leopard) has stopped displaying pdf's

I don't know whether the timing is a coincidence, but ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, when I click on a browser page link that is a PDF, the browser does open a new tab (my setting), but the image in the window is just a solid black or very dark gray. It used to be that Safari opened pdf's in Preview. I've all periodically, in the past, accepted suggestions to install upgraded Flash Player versions and other accessories. Does anyone have a diagnosis of where I went wrong along the way, of if it's SL, and how to fix it?

I had the same problem and found that it was a conflict with the PDF Browser Plugin. If you're running Safari in the default 64-bit mode in SL the PDF Browser Plugin will block the display of all PDF's. There are 2 ways to solve this:
1. Launch in 32-bit mode by quitting, selecting the Safari application and doing a "Get Info" and check to use in 32-bit mode
2. Disable the PDF Browser Plugin plugin by navigation to "Library > Internet Plug-ins" and trashing the plug-in.

My preview pane has stopped displaying .pdf files

Hi i am running windows 7 professional and have adobe acrobat installed. I have recently notices that the preview pane in windows no longer shows a .pdf file, does anyone have a fix?

It may be a windows feature that needs to be fixed. The downside of the preview is that MS reports to Acrobat that the file is open and does not allow save, only save as.

Mail in Snow Leopard has broken. Keeps resending a large file attachment. Make it stop!

Our 2009 iMac running Snow Leopard has hit a snag with mail. After trying to send a bunch of attached photos, Mail stopped receiving messages and continually tries to resend the large message, even though we have done our best to delete it. Even when we do, a few minutes later, it will pop into the outbox again and start all over. We are now using Thunderbird but would like to get Mail back as it has all our organized folders on it. I've called our ISP and the problem is definitely with Mail, not our account. What now?

Hi Bee,
The attachents add up to 34.1 Mb.
The messages appear in a Recovered Messages (Telus) folder that shows up at the bottom of our list of folders. That folder fills up with copies of the 34.1 Mb email. After about 15 minutes there are 34 of them. I can only delete them one at a time after clicking on them. Trying to select all or batch delete unread causes mail to slow down to a crawl and affects all other applications. "Edit Message" doesn't seem to be an option.

QT_WriteObject problem in Safari only, Snow Leopard

Can someone help me display my H.264 movie on a web page?
I have a H.264 encoded file which will not consistently play in Safari under Snow Leopard using QT_WriteObject. It does play in Firefox and XP/ IE 7, and will play in Safari if you give it the .mov file directly. I have 3 computers running Snow Leopard, and one of them, an iMac, will sometimes play the file. I booted the iMac into Leopard and it played the first time. The quicktime plugin shows as 7.6.3 in Snow Leopard.
I have tried various combinations of the parameters for QT_WriteObject. I think the movie is 640 x 480 . I have added a little to the vertical so that the controller will show completely in Firefox.
Here is the html I am currently using. The file is at tnwheeler.com/alaska1.html. There are no errors in the error console.

Trip to Alaska in 1993
This movie is in standard definition.
At this time, this movie will not show in Safari. Please use Firefox.
<script language="javascript">
QTWriteOBJECT('http://tnwheeler.com/alaskafinal.mov' , '640', '500', '',"autoplay","true","bgcolor","#000000") ;
</script>

Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I tried them both, in fact they are up there now, but no improvement. PageOT is a nice program. Actually, I started with the straight <embed> statements because they had always worked for me before. But I went to QT_WriteObject before posting because I thought people would say to try it.
I noticed your OS is listed as 10.5? Is this still correct? If so, that may be why it works for you. I booted to an old version of Leopard, and it worked fine. All of my other videos work in Snow Leopard/Safari except for this one. It was created in the same way- exported from FinalCut (latest version) and then taken into DVKitchen for the H.264. Most , if not all, of the others are hidef, whereas this one is standard def.
I think it is either a problem in how it was created (not by me, so I can't do much about that) or Safari under Snow Leopard. But the fact that it will play from the url, but not from the embed statements really has me puzzled.

Safari on Snow Leopard doesn't play right with multimedia on WordPress

I have a problem when I insert a QuickTime movie or Flash graphic into a WordPress post. The problem is that the CSS drop-down menu on the post page fall 'behind' the QuickTime movie instead of in front.
To combat this I inserted the following embed codes in the html for the movie: <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and wmode="transparent"
This would appear to fix the drop-down problem but it creates a new problem for Safari on Snow Leopard for Macs. The QuickTime controls don't work on the movies. You can start/stop the movie by using the spacebar but the transparent layer kills access to the controls when either QuickTime X or QuickTime 7.x is used in Safari. Seems to work fine in Firefox.
It might be easier to show the problem via examples which follow:
No transparency code example
http://www.hawaii247.org/2009/11/06/community-pays-tribute-and-honors-uncle-geor ge-naope/
transparency code embedded example
http://www.hawaii247.org/2009/10/29/rallying-in-hilo-for-the-international-day-o f-climate-action/
Is there a away around the drop-down bug so I don't have to use the transparency embed code? The drop-down bug also occurs in IE8 I believe. If you choose the Sports drop-down you should see what I'm talking about in the first example.

Yep. Exactly as you describe.
Since your menu "drop downs" are the source of the original issue have you considered breaking the "long" one into "two" parts?

Safari on Snow Leopard

The Safari in Snow Leopard is so disappointing. Am facing problems like
- Pixelated images on some pictures on facebook (Working fine on Firefox)
- Not automatically downloading files

I have the same issue. Pages that were nearly instant before are now exceedingly slow (www.google.com, for example, takes about 7 seconds). I have several other computers on the same network that are either running Leopard or Windows that don't have this problem, so it's not a DNS issue. I've also verified that my network connection isn't saturated.
I've tried the following:
* Resetting Safari
* Emptying the cache
* Repairing permissions
* Deleting all subfolders of ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
* Deleting Downloads.plist, History.plist, and LastSession.plist
* Removing everything from both the system and account copies of the InputMethods and Internet Plugins folders
This should essentially be a clean install of Safari, but it is still exceedingly slow. Note that it's not consistent: it will load a page quickly then, 5 seconds later, the same page will take a very long time to load.
Sometimes, most of the items on the page will come in nearly instantaneously, but suddenly the page will stop loading for a good 5 to 10 seconds. Once that time elapses, the rest of the page suddenly downloads.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit. I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared. Then, multiple contacts started disappearing. Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate. I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync. I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in. Everything seemed to work after that.

Safari in Snow Leopard and search provider

Hi,
I cannot find option to choose search provider in Safari in Snow Leopard. Did it disappear?

Hi,
That image you posted is from the Windows version of Safari (note the close window button in the top right of the window).
The Windows version does allow you to toggle between Google and Yahoo. For whatever reason, Apple only offers Google on OS X.
Many third party developers offer tools that can change the default. Have a search on versiontracker.com / macupdate.com - just be aware that they may not be Snow Leopard compatible yet.

HT1454 Help. My ipad 2 iOS 6.0.1 has stopped displaying on my tv screen using my apple av adaptor.

Help. My ipad 2 iOS 6.0.1 has stopped displaying on my tv screen using my apple av adaptor. I had started watching a movie rented from iTunes. Initial message said display not authorised but I tried again and it started playing. After a couple of minutes it stopped and now the tv won't display anything at all, not even my photos. TV screen doesn't recognise a connection. I tried using my boyfriends ipad 2 iOS 6.0.1 and this displays fine and plays his purchased movies. We have exactly the same settings.
I'm wondering if continuing to play the rented movie that initially said it was not authorised somehow disabled the tv display capability on my ipad?

No "Convert to * Chinese Text" service in Safari for Snow Leopard

The services "convert to simplified chinese text" and "convert to simplified chinese text" don't seem to work in Safari under Snow Leopard. It works if you're in a text box, but not for text on the page itself (it worked under Leopard).
Is this a problem with my system, or do others have this problem too? Is a fix planned, or is this a "feature"? (sigh)
This is useful when reading webpages written in traditional (simplified) chinese for those who are better at reading simplified (traditional) characters.
Test it yourself:
Highlighting this traditional chinese character should allow you to access the "Convert to Simplified Chinese Text" service: 車
Highlighting this character should allow you to access the "Convert to Traditional Chinese Text" service: 车
Thanks

Is a fix planned,
Only Apple would know, and they never provide such info. Make sure you tell them you want this feature back via Safari > Report Bugs to Apple and

Safari in Snow Leopard

I have upgraded to Snow Leopard weeks ago, and have been having minor issues. I usually use Firefox, but a website requires Safari in Snow Leopard to run - well, I've downloaded the Safari off of the snow leopard disk THREE times and it still says I have an invalid version on my computer and cannot run. I also just installed all the current FEI updates and all that stuff, to see if it would help - alas, I still do not have the ability to run Safari. This is killing me because I need this website to study for a huge test tomorrow, so any quick suggestions would be kindly appreciated.

HI,
If you are running 10.5.2, go to the Apple Menu / Software Updates. It's very important to keep your system software up to date.
After you finish with the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
