Safari on Windows - proxy issues

Safari on Windows XP uses the same proxy settings that Chrome and IE use. Both Chrome and IE work fine, not Safari. Any Idea ? Thank you.
OS: Windows XP 32 bits
Safari 5.1.7.

The exact location to check will depend on the version of each browser, but the following should get you started:
For IE: Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings
For Firefox: Tools > Options > Advanced > Settings
For Chrome: Sorry I don't have a copy of Chrome handy. I would recommend using Chrome's help menu to provide this information to you.
By default, your AirPort Extreme does NOT have any Proxy server functionality. This would be something that is typically used in a business or corporate environment and requre network clients to be configured to use it for Internet access.

Fix For Slow Safari On Windows

A number of people reported that Safari was running very slow for them on Windows. I was someone who was also seeing the same behavior. Web pages that would open up in 2 seconds under IE7 could take literally minutes to fully draw in Safari.
Someone mentioned a proxy issue in one of the other threads, and I got to thinking about that...I made a tiny change, and the problem is gone! Safari is now full steam ahead for me, compared to the snail is was before.
Here is how I fixed the issue.
1 - Click Start and open the Control Panel.
2 - Open the "Internet Options" Control Panel.
3 - Click the "Connections" tab at the top.
4 - Click the "LAN Settings" button at the bottom.
5 - Uncheck the "Automatically Detect Settings" Box.
6 - Click OK to exit the "LAN Settings" window.
7 - Click OK to exit the "Internet Options" window.
Your mileage may vary, but this really did work for me. Nothing else I had tried (clearing the cache, re-installing, etc.) made a difference...but this did. Not sure why it's not affecting everyone, but this doesn't seem to have any negative side effects. IE7 is still working fine for me with the "Automatically Detect" box unchecked.
Enjoy!

SDN access with Safari For Windows?

All,
Am just playing around with the Safari browser and when I try to access SDN using the same, I get a pop up stating, "to view this page you need to log into WebURLProtectionSpace Proxy HTTPS proxy server www.sdn.sap.com:443"
Has anyone tried accessing SDN using the new Apple Safari for Windows browser?
Any clues on what the user id and password needs to be here.
I have already tried,
1. My SDN user id and password.
2. My Proxy server's user id and password.
Also read up on the net that https sites seem to have an issue with Safari. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this though.
Regards
Bhavesh

Thought so as well .
But just wanted to know if anyone has tried this as well.

Safari still has Proxy problems

So we have another release of Safari for Windows. High hopes! But crashed.
Still, Safari can't connect to the internet due to proxy issues. Every other web browser I've tried handles this issue with no problems whatsoever. Why does Safari have these problems.
To be precise, when I launch Safari, I'm told "To view this page, you need to log in to the http proxy server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080". I know a little bit about what this is about, thanks to a post to a previous thread on this subject (which Apple archived so I couldn't post to it any more - grrr). However, for someone who is a grunt on a corporate network, I can't really go to IT and tell them to do this and that to allow me to use a particular web browser. So, I have to wait until Apple sorts this out.
Apple! I'm a loyal user! I want to be able to use Safari on my work computer! Please fix this issue!!

Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

Safari version: 5.1.7
OS: Windows 7
Hi,
I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GREAT NEWS!!!!
I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";
right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!

How do I set up bookmarks sync to iCloud for Safari in Windows?

The page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 shows iCloud Control Panel for Windows permitting bookmarks sync for Safari but when I run it it shows bookmarks sync for Internet Explorer. How do I set this up for Safari on Windows?

Safari on Windows too slow on my PC

When I use Safari on my Mac it rocks, but since i got installed on my work PC (intel core 2 @ 2.33GHz - 4 Gb memory, running XP) yesterday it been really slow, can't understand why!! must admit, IE7 was much faster, i am sure Safari is fast, but whats the problem here. Any ideas? thnx

I take this laptop home with me and I use it through my wireless network at home, I think Safari have better responce but still slower than IE 7. The strange thing is when I installed Firefox in the past that used to fly with no delays!! It has to be network configuration issue.
Also I am not sure if safari has manual proxy settings, cause this laptop is configured to include our work network proxy. I am not sure if this was configured on Safari (somewhere) it would speed things up! my knowledge on proxy is little

Safari main window not showing up in my user account when launched

Safari main window is not showing up when launched in my user account.
For some unknown reason, there must be a bug with Space and Safari as when I switch from Space 1 to Space 2 (and vice versa) I can see the Safari main window for less than 1 sec but could not fix it to show up and stay in the foreground in any of the 4 Spaces areas.
I have tried to desactivate Space or change some settings in Space but could not fix the issue.
Last but not least, Safari is working well for all other user accounts on my Mac.
I have updgraded my OS to 10.5.7 and Safari v4 last patch but I have the same issue for 1 month

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist
/Users/YourName/Libary/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if that helps...

YoiTube isn't recognizing Flash in Safari gor Windows?

Hi, I recently downloaded Safari for Windows, and upon visiting Youtube, YouTube gave me a message saying my browser wasn't supported. I ignored the message and whenever I try to play a YouTube video with either Flash or QuickTime, it doesn't work. I know it is not a hardware issue as I just finished building my PC a week ago.
Thanks.

Apple stopped supporting Safari for Windows few years ago,
You are better off using another browser of your choice.
Best,

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

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
