Safari not saving mpegs correctly

I have Tiger with 10.4.2 and I cannot save mpeg movies to my hard drive, QUICKTIME DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THEM. I also cant just click and "save as" because the option is not there. I have to use Opera (which works alot better in most all respects) or Firefox just be able to save movies that my Apple product with Apple Safari does not??

I'm having a similar problem, and ControlOptionclick doesn't solve it. I've just discovered that I've been having this problem for several months.
For a long time I could just hit Command+S and everything worked fine. I just discovered, however, that everything I've saved for the past couple of months either says it's a format Quicktime doesn't recognize, or it opens in Quicktime but only plays about a half second of black . . . no content.
I tried the ControlOptionclick method and get exactly the same results.
I found that I CAN save the mpeg by dragging the mpeg to my desktop, but I just gives it the generic title "Movie Clipping 1." For example, right now I'm trying to save a file called "Steve Martin Napkin Trick,." If I save it with Command+S or ControlOptionS, a file by that name (and with the QT movie icon) appears on my desktop. However, if I try to open that file it doesn't have any content. If I just drag the mpeg to my desktop, I get a QT movie file called "Movie Clipping 1" which plays back correctly.
Dragging to the desktop functions as a work around, but it's a bit of a pain having to rename each file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Bryce

Pages is not saving document correctly. After saving the changes either do not appear or you can not open the file. The error is "not a valid format" I am in Pages '09 4.1 (923). I also use Parallels. Anyone having similar issues?

I'm not sure that Lion AutoSave feature apply to network servers.
I'm just sure that the Versions feature doesn't.

Safari not saving passwords in keychain

All of a sudden Safari stopped saving my usernames and passwords. It asks, and I say yes. But it doesn't save anything. HELP!

Launch Keychain Access in /Applications/Utilities/, select Keychain First Aid, and repair the login.keychain. Details in KA's help files.

Safari not saving my cookies!

I installed the very very latest iTunes, and this messed up my safari by saving cookies. Google instant search doesnt stay off, youtube doesnt auto-log in. I cant downgrade my iTunes. I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, even deleted and installed Apple Application support manually.
If you could help, thanks.

same problem here, and even if safari 5.1 worked properly I couldn't use 5.1 due to the jerky scrolling
(fully updated XP system)
Some cookies work for awhile, but eventually they stop working, quitting and re-opening safari stops them all from working. Some cookies show up in the show cookies list and some don't.

Z68S G43 G3) B4 fluctuating its overclock, not saving profiles correct?

I have this board clock to 4.6ghz and the setting is saying but the clock speed is not. When I look at CPUZ it clocks itself down to as low as 1500hmz and fluctuating up to 4.58. Also I see the base clock is not at 100, I have seen this issue for similar boards. Is there a bios which I can use to fix these issues.
Another thing I found odd was I cant select in increments the mem voltage, and non of the choices are 1.5. only 1.65? Also to add to this my profiles are not saving as when I load them they havent loaded the settings, also noticed how the name hasnt been kept for my profile?
Thanks.

Hi,
This is not high expectations, almost every motherboard Ive owned has had voltage options in the bios. The only boards not to have them are ones that come from OEM companys like Dell ect and even then its not a board issue but a limited bios set that way by Dell engineers.
Even my very first MSI motherboard many years ago had voltage options, I bought a pre-built gamer rig many years ago which was supposed to be top of the range but ended up being alot of cheap parts inside a nice looking case. The motherboard was a MSI 7060, when I checked online I found this board retailed for £35 at that time. So even the lowest end boards have voltage options.
This isnt even about the board been capable of overclock, (although the board clearly is capable of oc'ing the bios has been nerfed obviously to make ppl have to buy the higher end boards if we want those options) its about having the ability to set voltages for the other components, my cpu will do 4.5Ghz with 1.28vcore, I want to be able to run it with that vcore not .1volt higher, nor do I want the fluctuations of the voltage jumping around as much as they do without simple vdroop control. My ram is rated for 1.65v but I can get away with under clocking it to 1600Mhz with just 1.58vddr, but this board doesnt give that option to do so.
Again I want to illiterate this is not high expectations, I am an extreme overclocker , I have used many boards from all different price ranges and never had a board (other than OEM) with the voltage options nerfed. I know this is a mainstream product not aimed for extreme overclockers and I didnt buy it for that use. It was bought to go in a new dailly pc for gaming, media and web browsing and I was planing on running it at stock or only mildly overclocked. Either way I should be able to and have the options to change the voltages to settings I want to run. I shouldnt have to put up with the board overvolting and degrading my hardware.

Why is Safari not showing pages correctly ?

Hi there !
I'm having a little Safari 5 trouble.
Safari is not showing page layouts correctly, it seems it is not recognizing / reading css at all. Not one site shows correctly !
Whereas Firefox has no problem at all.
On Safari, I had diverse small extensions and Glims (but I had those for a while and nothing like this ever happened - only the occasional crash).
Also, I tried reinstalling Safari entirely. No change.
What do you think can be causing this ?

HI and welcome.......
If you still have Glims the latest build is available here.
http://wiki.machangout.com/howdoi/glims-development-build
As for the extensions, go to Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Turn that OFF. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.
Try resetting Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If nothing above has helped, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads pages as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Safari not handling Javascript correctly

I am currently trying to learn how to put Javascript into web pages by reading through the tutorial at http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
However it seems that Safari is not handling the Javascript correctly when it loads some of the examples:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_confirm
http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_prompt
However they load correctly in FireFox.
Why?
Is there something I can do to get Safari to handle the Javascript correctly?
Or is there a document somewhere describing how Safari handles Javascrip so that I know how to change the Javascript so that it loads correctly in Safari?

Okay, I click the button labeled "Display a confirm box" on http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_confirm
A Dialog box appears and I click "OK".
In Safari the button labeled "Display a confirm box" dissapears.
In FireFox the button labeled "Display a confirm box" dissapears and is replaced with "You pressed OK!"
Similarly, in the second example, Safari just get's rid of the button, where FireFox replaces it with the appropriate text.

Safari not displaying pages correctly after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi, I just upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2010) to Mavericks and safari now displays web pages as if I was really zoomed in. When I load a page I will see it correctly for a second and it will then zoom in (no amount of pinch on my trackpad solves the problem). I can cmd - a few times to get it back to a normal display size, but I need to do it for every tab I open. When I open chrome, everything displays properly. Any Idea on what could cause this problem? Thx in advance
Sorry if I am not posting to the right forum, kinda new here

Try holding the control key and using a 2 finger swipe up or down (direction depends on how you have the track pad set) and see if you may inadvertently done zoom from this, it is different from a pinch zoom

Audition not saving Metadata correctly

I'm seeing two problems with how Audition CS6 (version 5) saves metadata:
Problem 1:
After saving a file as a WAV file when you view that file in Windows Explorer many of the metadata tags have the last character truncated. The only way that I have found to solve the problem is to add a trailing space on each fields entry. In fact if you change the Recording Date to say "2012" the date won't show up at all in Windows Explorer, but if you save it as "2012 " it shows correctly.
Problem 2:
If I open a WAV file to save it back out as an MP3 - it doesn't matter if I do a batch process or one file it is the same - all the metadata is lost (YES, I have the "Include markers and other metadata" box checked). I follow these steps.. Open the Wav file>Click "Save as">set Format Settings to MP3>check the include markers>click OK. At this point if you look at the resulting mp3 file in windows explorer you will see that no metadata is present, but if you still have the file open in Audition it appears that all of the metadata is there - you can even try changing a value and saving again, but Windows explorer still shows no data. If you completely close the file in Audition and then reopen the mp3 file in audition, you will see that there is NO metadata there either. At this point you can then repopulate the data in audition and save the file and then it will show the metadata when viewed with Windows Explorer. VERY Annoying!!
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in Audition... It sure looks like a bug to me!!

Okay, well I just checked this out in Windows 7, 64bit. If there were going to be problems, this is where I'd expect them to be - and there simply aren't any - it works absolutely fine. If you don't put the metadata in a fields absolutely correctly, you get a ! at the end of the line, and all bets are off at that stage. And in the date format, that puts the year in first, then the month and then the date (yyyy-mm-dd). So if you try to put too many figures at the end, then yes I'd expect them to get truncated. But everything I put in my test file showed up fine, and correctly, in Windows Explorer.

I checked this one out too, and once again didn't get the result you did. I saved a load of ID3 tag information in the same file that I used above, and saved two versions of it - one as a wav, and one as an MP3. Both saved the metadata correctly. Then I re-opened the wav file and resaved it again as another MP3, this time with a different file name - didn't touch the metadata at all. When I checked the new MP3, all the metadata was there, just as it was previously.
So I don't know what you are doing (or which OS you are using either, come to that), but here it works fine. The previous complaint about MP3 related to indicated time with VBR saves, incidentally - not metadata at all.

Safari not displaying pages correctly...

I have a new iMac with two accounts on it. One for my wife and one for me. On my account, safari works fine regardless of the website. However on my wife's account safari, cuts off some of the content and some of the text appear to be too large for the frames. In both accounts the safari's settings are set to default and are identical. The only difference that I can figure out is that my account is the admin, and my wife's isn't. The error does not happen on all webpages, just a couple here and there. I have changed her over to firefox for the time being, but it is bugging me that I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Thank you.

If your wife added fonts to her /Users/herhome/Library/Fonts folder, that could be the problem.
If that's the case, have her remove them.
Also she could do the following:
1) Quit all open applications.
2) Delete the fonts caches with FontNuke +(or with whatever utility you normally use)+
FontNuke <http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/>
3) Restart
4) Open the Font Book->Edit menu 'Select All' fonts - from the File menu select 'Validate Fonts'
from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
Good luck,
Tom

Camera not saving photos correctly

I can take photos with my camera but in the corner where the photo taken shows up, it shows loading bars like it's trying to do something with the photo. When I click there or try to open the photos taken on any of the apps to open photos, it starts loading indefinitely with a black background. Those photos also don't open in the computer. It's like the camera is having difficulties saving the photos correctly.I've tried restaring the phone, stopping and clearing the data for the Camera app, but nothing seems to have worked so far. Do you have any ideas of what to do?

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Safari not saving pages in history when linked from GMail

Ok, no one else is having crashing problems with GMail. Fine.
How about this one... If you click on a link in a message while reading GMail, a new window will open with the destination web page.
Now, if you click a link on that new page, the new location will open, but Safari did not save the original location in the history - the Back button is disabled, and it's not in the History menu.
Now.. where's that "report bug" link...

can you view the source code ( Safari-View-View
Source ) of the main page, to see if it is the
coding that prevents the back/forward & history in
the new windows that are opened ?
I'm looking at an email in Gmail, and it has this link:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ActsAsTaggablePluginHowto/versions/32
I click on it and that page opens in a new window. In that window, I click on the first link in the body, http://rubyforge.org/projects/taggable/, and that page opens in the same window, but there's no history I was at the wiki.rubyonrails.org page.
Looking at the source for both the Gmail page and the wiki page doesn't indicate any special coding to achieve that. Frankly (I do web development), I'm not even sure how GMail would be able to control the new opened window and how the links would behave - not to mention being able to not store a clicked link into the history.
Needless to say, this does not happen in Firefox or Omniweb.
Well, whatever the problem is, it still exists in the latest version of Safari - from http://nightly.webkit.org/

Safari not displaying swfs correctly

My web site consists of Flash swf files embedded in html pages.
If I have the Address Bar hidden while loading, for ex, my index page and then try to bring up the Address Bar, its swf does not move down with the rest of the window contents, so it blocks the Address Bar. The only way out is to quit and restart Safari.
This did not happen with the previous version of Safari. I don't know who is at fault, Apple or Adobe/Macromedia. I don't really care, but this is really annoying.

If your wife added fonts to her /Users/herhome/Library/Fonts folder, that could be the problem.
If that's the case, have her remove them.
Also she could do the following:
1) Quit all open applications.

Safari not saving its window location?

Is there a way for Safari to permanently save its window position on start-up? I normally have the top left corner of the safari window on the top left part of my desktop but occasionally, on startup, the top left corner of the safari window will be about 20 pixels (my guess) to the right.

I have the exact same problem, consistent over several OS and Safari upgrades.
I don't really see where one can dictate the location of the main window when it reopens or of a new window other than moving it to the location where you want it.
Sometimes it stays where I had left it, sometimes it doesn't.
New windows always stack towards the right lower corner of the screen.
It's really annoying not having an option that the windows all stack on top of another, which would be especially useful since being able to quickly switch between them using 'Command-Tilde'.
