Safari in Windows XP Home

I'm currently seeking to completely switch over to using Safari for Windows. However, I don't have the best spelling there is so I rely on Firefox for its Spell check feature. Does anyone know how I can get the Spell Check in Safari to start working. I've tried many times but it just won't work.
(Note: I'm rather new to Apple products so I accidentally posted this in Safari for Mac... tricky to navigate this support site for me.)

What should happen, is go to Edit menu -> Spelling & Grammar and select "Check spelling while typing"
It should remain set between sessions, but if it doesn't, try moving aside the Safari preferences (not sure where XP stores that in user account, in Vista it would be AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/Safari
If it isn't working with the public beta, it should be with later builds.
You can also grab the latest WebKit

  • Safari/Windows Vista Home Premium x86 Answers Needed

    I have a few things that need to be answered
    1. Is it possible to have more than one version of Safari installed at the same time. Can I have 3.1.2 and either 3.1.1 or 4.0 installed so I can have 2 versions of Safari installed on the same operating system under the same user name on a hard drive that does NOT have partitions.
    2. Is there anyway that the color can be changed where the tabs/menu options (File/Edit/View/etc.)/address bar is. When my laptop is not plugged in I have a hard time see that area when I am using the battery.
    3. Are there anymore plug-ins available for Safari. I have the usual ones
    (NOTE: These are the ones listed in the Help>Installed Plug-ins)

  • TS1538 I have an iPod Touch IOS 4.2.1 that Windows 7 home premium can't see.  Says there's a driver problem.  My other one with IOS 5.1.1 works on the same cable and computer. I don't know where to go.

    I have an iPod Touch with 4.2.1 that won't connect to my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.  It gives a "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to a USB port.  My wife's (newer) iPod Touch with IOS 5.1.1 works just fine with no errors.  I'm using the same port - I just moved the cable from one iPod to the other. I've tried the various different drivers using Update Drivers.  I let it search the internet and it says "The best driver software is already installed", but the device shows as "Unknown Device".  I did the browse my computer, unchecked the "Show compatible hardware", and selected Apple, Inc..  There were two Apple iPod USB Drivers.  One was 6.0.9999.53 and the other was 6.0.9999.61.  Neither of these works.  I'm thinking that the maybe I need to upgrade the iPod touch software version - but I don't know how to get to it.  Can this be loaded over WiFi?  Any other ideas?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

    I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

    Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

  • I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

    I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

    Hi Guys,
    I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
    (READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
    '''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
    - quick step guide for this:
    select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
    '''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
    - AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
    '''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
    '''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
    '''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

  • Safari on Windows 7 is not syncing bookmarks with iCloud correctly

    I have a Windows 7 computer for work and on this I added iCloud and Safari.  I configured iCloud to sync with Safari (not Explorer) and it was working okay.
    I wanted to reorganize my bookmarks as I look at most things on my iPhone these days.  I tried to move the bookmarks in Safari (on Windows 7) and found the operation to be clunky.  It was often crash out and I would have to wait a couple of seconds between every move why the iCloud sync occured.  So I gave up doing it in Windows.
    So i started to adjust the bookmarks on the iPhone.  After moving a few around it appeared to be working to I got more aggressive.  Then Safari on Windows stopped syncing.  I am now missing a whole bunch of bookmarks on Safari in Windows.  They are still there on my iPhone.  I have not checked my home Macbook yet as, well I'm at work, so I am not sure if this is just a windows issue or also a mac issue with Safari.
    I have shutdown and restarted Safari.  i have disabled and enabled icloud on Windows.  I can't get it to sync my bookmarks back.
    Any ideas?

    Don't worry I have the bookmarks back.
    I don't know why but they took a couple of hours to sync up whereas normally it is almost instantaneous.

  • Installation of Safari for Windows 5.1.7 fails

    I have been setting up a new PC with Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium). I have gotten QuickTime (32-bit) 7.7.3 and iTunes (64-bit) 10.6.3.25 installed apparently successfully (at least, iTunes works). But the Safari for Windows 5.1.7 installer gives the error message "This installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows.  Please obtain the 64-bit installer from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html." and will not finish. I downloaded and apparently successfully installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows 2.0.2, but Safari still will not install. Does anyone have advice about how to get past that error?

    For anybody following the question posted here in this Community: I also posted my question in a different Community, where I received one reply and have posted updates:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20534176#20534176
    Nothing I have done has been successful, however, so Safari 5.1.7 for Windows could not be installed.

  • Windows Vista Home + iTunes = no DVD drives

    I am a long time iTunes user, and have been having an issue with iTunes for the last little while. When I install iTunes (I'm on Windows Vista 32 bit, by the way), after the required restart, my DVD drives' icons disappear (I have 2 of them). I can see the DVD drives in the Device Manager, and they say they cannot start. The only I think I've had these problems since about iTunes 7.0, but I don't burn CDs that often, so I've really not felt too bad about it, except that my wife would like to do so. I've done the registry change where you remove the upper and lower filters, which corrects the drive issue, but then presents the seemingly inevitable Registry issue dialog box, without the option to burn CDs. Here are the steps I've done thus far to try to get my computer and iTunes to play nicely:
    1. Tried reenabling the UpperFilter for GearAspiWDM as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305422
    2. Tried downloading new GEAR drivers from their website.
    3. Tried uninstalling Quicktime, and then installing it separately.
    4. Uninstalled my other music service software (SonicStage), and then reinstalling iTunes.
    5. Completely uninstalled iTunes, and then reinstalled it (a couple of iTunes versions ago).
    6. Tried uninstalling the non-functioning DVD drives in the device manager, and then scanning for hardware changes. When the UpperFilter was still present, this part failed. It passed after I removed the UpperFilter registry entry.
    Please help!

  • Windows 7 home premium and windows 8.1 pro op network problem

    I have two PC-s, one is with windows  7 home premium  and the other one with  windows 8.1 pro op system.  They are wired via ethernet/ home network. Till I had old Windows  XP instead of Windows 7, the two PC-s were connected,
    file sharing and device sharing was easy and functioning. 
    Today it doesn't,  windows 8.1 finds the other PC and creating the network, even identifying the different folders on the other PC however as I want to open a file, then loading forever starts, but
    on the other side the windows 7 PC is frozen, only the hard switch off helps. ...
    Any idea what to do? The diagnose shows that the access was lost.

    Here is the forum for you

  • Need help reinstalling Windows 7 home premium on HP G62-435DX

    My internal hard disk crashed and I followed advice from this forum to use Ubuntu (using live disc from CD ROM drive) to recover data and save to external hard drive. Next, I replaced the internal hard drive with a 500GB internal hard drive. I figured out how to partition the new internal hard drive and get Ubuntu to acknowledge it.
    Now, I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall my Windows 7 Home Premium operating system so I can try to get back to normal. However, I cannot figure out how to download Windows 7 to my hard drive using my product key that came with my machine when I bought it. All the download options appear to require you to buy/request Windows 7 recovery discs to run and install on the machine (since I didn't create these prior to my hard disk failing).
    Is this really the only way I can use my product key to reinstall Windows 7 to my machine? Also, I cannot figure out how to download the OS from Windows 7 ISO downloads (via Digital River) to my internal hard drive - seems I can only do this by downloading and burning to CDs (which I don't believe I have the right kind - but obviously am happy to buy if it's the best/fastest option). It seems I have very limited options since I had to remove my internal hard drive, which then eliminated Windows 7 from my machine.
    Based on these details - I ultimately want to determine the fastest, most efficient way to get Windows 7 OS back on my machine. I'd prefer to download it, but am hamstrung by having to run Ubuntu from a Live CD. Thanks for your help!

    Here are the specs for your HP G62-435DX Notebook Computer. Here is the HP Software and Driver Downloads page if you wish to order the HP Recovery Discs and have them mailed to you. If you wish to download Windows 7 and use the Windows product key on the bottom of your computer, please see How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc for instructions on downloading, creating the installation media (DVD or USB), and installing Windows. You will need a funtional computer with DVD burning software capable of burning the ISO to disc.
