Safari menu doesn't work

I have a strange Safari bug... After about a day of using Safari 2.0.4 (the latest stable version), the main Safari menu stops working. I can still pull it down, but selecting anything in it does nothing.
For example, I can pull down the Safari menu and select Quit, but the app doesn't quit. I can pull it down and select Preferences, but no preferences appear.
On the other hand, I can type Cmd-Q and Safari will quit. I can type Cmd-K to toggle pop-up blocking. But selecting any item in the menu doesn't work.
All the other menus work fine. Safari itself also works fine. The application menu in other apps work perfectly.
The problem crops up after about a day or so. If I quit Safari and re-launch, the menu will behave correctly for a while. Then, sometime later, it will stop working. Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
I have tried trashing Safari's preferences. A Mac Genius suggested installing Safari 3 Beta, then un-installing to restore Safari 2, but that didn't help.
Any ideas?
PowerMac G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This might be worth a try:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
Safari has been doing this for at least a year -- perhaps two.
And you never to question it? I have never seen that behaviour.

DVD menu doesn't work right in DVD players

I've created a DVD in Encore for Mac. It plays fine on my Mac and on Windows. However, once it is inserted into a stand alone DVD player, the menu doesn't work right. I have four text menus. In the DVD player, none of those are navigable. Arrowing up or down doesn't work. You have to click a number on the remote keypad and then play. This also causes "Channel 1" or "Channel 2" and so on to display. Any ideas how I can get the arrow keys to work? I don't have a stand alone dvd player to test against.
Also, in Windows, I have someone that wants to duplicate the dvd. They're using Movie Maker. It gives an error that the codec is not installed but doesn't say which codec. Any ideas on that?

The only time I recall similar problems was the issue Jeff was asking about above (Mac, Encore CS3, certain OS). If you don't solve this otherwise, I'd experiment with that.
You appear to have confirmed that there is button navigation. (In button routing, each button points to another.) Where does it break down?
On the Mac/PC, are you using the mouse? In the computer DVD software player, there should be a "remote" that you can use to see if the button navigation is working. Does the computer "remote" option work? If so, it makes it not working in a standalone player even odder.
If not, then look at whether the project works before you burn to disk. Does the "remote" work in the Encore preview? Or build to a folder, then play the DVD from the folder. (I don't know how on Mac; on PC, I find the first .ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder, and play that.)

New to Safari - GMail doesn't work?

I have always used Firefox on my Mac, but I decided to try Safari a little. I use Gmail religiously, but I noticed it only displays the "basic HTML" view in Safari. When I try to enable the "standard" view mode, it doesn't work.
I have tried searching the forums but haven't found any conclusive answers. Should I just stick with Firefox or Camino instead?

Is it possible that you have JavaScript turned off in Safari? That would do it, since Standard view for Gmail requires JavaScript.
If it's on, have you tried at different times of the day, since it could be an intermittent issue? Do youu get any error messages, or messages of any kind when it won't load Standard view? Post again with more details.

My Spry Horizontal Menu doesn't work

I created my Spry horizontal menu and tried it in preview browser and it doesn't work. I published the site to see if it check didn't work in preview mode and it REALLY doesn't work.
I'm sure it's something simple that I am just missing, but what I don't know. I have attached the css style sheet as I did change the spacing and colors.
Is it something I could be missing on the individual pages and linking there?
I apologize for being dumb, but I am a newbie to this and the tutorials I took don't go into detail about linking other than to explain the linking from your index page. Is there more linking that I need to do?
Here is the menu and I did place it in it's own div tag.
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Bar Code Products</a>

I thought that was all there was to it.
What am I missing. I can link to one page, but have to click on the back button to view any other page and keep repeating that process to view all the pages.
Boy do I feel stupid.
Any help would be appreciated. Needless to say I republished my friends old site because of functionality. But I'd really like to get this one working for him.
Thanks in advance.
Oops

NEVER MIND. What an idiot. I never copied the linked menu bar into the other pages. My stupid.
Thanks and sorry to waste your time.

Safari download doesn't work

Previously I was using Safari 6.1 on my MBP (OS X 10.7.5) and all was good until I had a window telling me that my current version of Safari was no longer supported by youtube.
I downloaded Safari 7.x and now it will not open. The new Safari icon in the Applications folder has a white circle with diagonal slash (like the NO or Do Not Enter signs) and when it is Clicked there is a window saying "You can't use this version of Safari with this version OS. You have 10.7.5 and it requires 10.9."
I tried downloading Safari 6.1 and it said the download was successful. But the newer Safari icon (described above) remains in the Applications folder. Even tried downloading Safari 6.1 to another location (User's directory) but it won't open there and that doesn't work either.
How do I get Safari back?
And I'm assuming I've probably lost all my bookmarks and history too!
Help, please.

Thanks dominic23… I do have my data backed up . Just that Safari doesn't work now.
And thanks QuickTimeKirk for your suggestions.
You mean the ONLY way I can get Safari back is to restore the Operating System?
When trying to install a version of anything that is not compatible with the OS you normally get a window saying such. And the OS doesn't allow the installation. In this case the OS allowed the installation thereby killing the working version and leaving an incompatible version. So I'm out a working version of Safari unless I restore the entire OS?
Surely there's another way. Thanks again!!

Flash menu doesn't work after opening an external link.

Hi,
I have this problem - I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
I've been searching for an answer here and there, but still haven't found anything. Please, help.
Thank you!

Here it is: http://kiss4eto.is.com/. Click on the Me button, for example. It should work. Then click on the "Addicted to Facebook" link on the right and after that try the Me button again. It doesn't work any more. At least on my computer.
Thanks, again.

Smartshape menu doesn't work in html5

Hi,
I have made a kind of menu with smartshapes that are set "rest of project" and " placed on top". There are an advanced action on each that show/hide captions, also set for the rest of project, on top.
I have put a flash version of the tutorial. You can see at the slide #12 (until the end) what should happen: click to show caption/ click to hide:

But when I publish it in html5, it doesn't work anymore:

Is there an option that can cause that problem?

DVD menu doesn't work on the finished DVD

Please, I need some help.
I am having problems with a DVD menu.
Several days ago I burned a DVD from the same project that I tried to export to DVD today, and I did not have any problems with DVD menu, but today, when I start to burn DVD it shows me a warning sign that tells a few DVD markers are closer than they are required, and after burning DVD the DVD menu doesn't show or work on the finished DVD. What am I doing wrong?

Burned DVD - menu doesn't work

I'm fairly new to all this and have created a slideshow in iMovie and then created a DVD in iDVD. In iDVD it all works (there is just one menu item). But when I burn to disc image (or even burn a dvd) the menu link doesn't work - it just starts over the main screen. However, with the mac dvd player if I go to the menu, I can access it through "title".
HELP!
Many thanks!
bchina

Try closing iDVD and trashing the file called com.Apple.iDVD.plist located in User/Library/Preferences. iDVD will create a new file upon relaunch. Then repair permissions using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. After deleting coded assets, try burning again.
When you burn again, I would burn from a disk image rather then directly from your iDVD project. Open your iDVD project, Delete Coded Assets from the Advanced menu, and save your project as a Disk Image on your hard drive. The assets will re-encode, taking a little time. Play the disk image with your computer's DVD Player application and see if the menu button works on the disk image. If it does, your initial problem might be caused by bad media. Burn a new DVD disk from the disk image at 4x speed, using Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R disks. See if that works.
Hope this helps.

"Exclude page from menu" doesn't work

Choosing Page > Page Properties > Menu Options > Exclude page from menus doesn't work for me in the current release. Anybody else having this problem?

Humm?
Just tested both your process and again by going to Plan View > rt-click on page > Menu Options and both instantly remove the page.
Have you tried just making simple/quick test site with 2-3 pages and trying?
Maybe somthing in your site and not in Muse that's causing the issue.

[SOLVED] NET_PROFILES=('menu') doesn't work at boot time

Hi I've created two network profiles to change eth0 configuration on my laptop according to where I am.
The problem is that NET_PROFILES=('menu') (in rc.conf) doesn't work at boot time: the profile select dialog doesn't appear.
It works only if I do a /etc/rc.d/network restart.
Here is the relevant part of my rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
NET_PROFILES=('menu') #### I tried even without quotes with the same result!!
By the way, I tried this on three different machines (one is always up to date, the others aren't) with the same result.

iphitus thanks for your prompt reply, but I already have dialog installed. In fact the menu appears if I do a network restart, but it doesn't at boot.

An other problem : my css menu is behind the video.
Does anyone no why ?
Thanks.

Add change your wmode. From an old post:
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.
Best wishes,

JPopupMenu with JInternalFrame, popup menu doesn't work

You never execute that method in your InternalFrameBasic class to the mouse listener never gets added to the table.
