Safari Preferences set in WGM don't work.

One feature which always worked well in 10.4 server was the Internet tab in Groups/Preferences. I used to be able to set the Safari home page for all our users. I have never had much luck with using plist Safari prefs. I tried again, using the prefs from the server itself. When I opened up Safari on a 10.4 client, the Home button was messed up and didn't work and the home page was not set. I suspect that this may have something to do with the different versions of Safari. Has anyone got this feature working? At the moment all users get the Live Apple home page, which is a blocked site on our WLAN. Very messy . . .

Check with Adobe. Perhaps they can offer a solution. I responded to your post before.
Just in case, have you tried a different browser?

  • Why safari 5 and itunes 10 don`t work with windows xp?

    Some one knows why the mos recent version of safari and itunes don`t work on windows xp?

    Define "don't work".  Frankly that's about the most vague and useless statement without some clarification.

  • Safari for Mac: Relative links don't work

    I posted this last week, but didn't get any helpful replies:
    Our web site has many PDFs and aspx files that link to each other. In a PDF, when we click on a relative link, the following message appears: Safari can't open "filename.pdf" because the first character of its address is not valid.
    When we loook in the error console for the page with the link, the warning says "Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/pdf."
    Our workaround has been to set up Safari to use Adobe Reader to open the PDFs, and everything worked just fine. With Safari 5.1, that is not possible, so we now need to figure out what the problem is. Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Our new workaround is to tell people not to upgrade to Safari 5.1.

  • Safari 5.1 and Downloads don't work

    I have already deleted plist files. What happens on some websites is:Safari loads the page of the download, if you just click on the download button. If you select the menu item"Download linked file" it works properly.

    That's a problem with the site, not with Safari.

  • Some links don't work in Safari

    I ran a whole bunch of software updates a while ago (funny, after the entire process, nothing actually updated... I had to run it again later), and somehow, in the process, something went wrong with Safari. Now, some links don't work. It's mostly links in the content portions of webpages. For example, things like the Store/Mac/etc buttons at the top of the Apple site work fine, but things like links in forum signatures don't. I have to open them in a new tab. I tried updating Safari, but it didn't fix anything. I've tested Firefox and Camino and they work fine, but Safari is my browser of choice, so this is pretty irritating. Any ideas as to what's causing this and how to fix it?

    You might try installing a fresh version of SafariStand and see if you still have the problem with dead links. I'm not familiar with the 'Quick Search' feature but you could have a look at Glims. Don't try to run both Glims and SafariStand together.

    I have gone to Safari preferences and have made the selection in TABS to open links in TABS instead of Windows. I have chosen "Always".
    The setting has not stuck. I tried logging out then logging back in however it still does not work. Am I missing something?

    I did not have any extensions and reset Safari. I have the most update versions as per screenshot

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

    P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

    I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
    there is a description of it.
    Resume in OS X Lion
    When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
    Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
    In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
    99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

  • Unable to set cookie preferences in safari 5.1.5 by going to safari/preferences/privacy.  It used to be there and now there is nothing showing under that tab.

    I had looked at the cookies a couple of weeks ago.  I deleted all cookies.
    A few days ago my email was hacked into which sent a spam email to all my contacts.  I changed my password to that account, warned everyone in my contacts, and haven't had a problem with email since.
    However, I tried to do the 'delete all cookies' again and when I go to safari/preferences/privacy...there is nothing on that screen under that tab.  Not even a question mark. I changed my history items to be removed every day from every week but don't think that would be the issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Uninstall SIMBL as follows.
    Select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then enter the following text in the box that opens:
    /Library
    A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Application Support/SIMBL
    InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
    LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
    Log out and log back in.
    Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

  • Safari and wireless don't work unless I am connected to wireless

    safari and my wireless don`t work together, unless the macbook is connected to the wireless

    Take your MacBook to another location where wireless networks are available - a coffee house or public building - and see if it finds wireless networks when it starts up. If so, the problem might be with your router at home. If not, you might check System Preferences > Network and see if Airport is operating/on.
    If by "connected" you mean via ethernet cable, there are a couple things to try: Take a look at your wireless router's settings (router's manual will have instructions for accessing settings) and see what security features are on/off.

  • Command key shortcuts don't work anymore in Safari since upgrade to Yosemite!

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded the MacOSX to Yosemite. Since this moment Safari doesn't work properly anymore, because the command key shortcuts are out of order.
    Cmd + Q
    Cmd + C
    Cmd + V
    Cmd + X
    These are now the key shortcuts I've noticed that aren't working anymore. Other apps (a part from Firefox) don't seem to have these problems.
    In the meantime I have to use the mouse cursor and choose from the menu bar.
    Apple support wasn't able to help me! They just gave me the advice force quit Safari and restart it while pushing the ALT-key. Result: Nothing!
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind regard,
    Steven
    MacBook Air
    Version 10.10
    1.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    That is rather odd if they are all visible as shortcut commands.
    Here are some more tests to do…
    1) Disable all your Safari Extensions & retest (in Safari Preferences).
    2) Logout of the account (from the Apple menu). At the login window enter your password & hold shift as you click the login button. Keep it held until the Desktop has become usable. This disables 'User login items' - retest. Logout after testing.
    3) Try a safe boot… OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    Does it still happen in safe mode? This disables third party extensions & some inessential Apple system extensions - things will not be normal, however the Mac should be 'functional', test as much as you can.
    Post the results of those here, it may give us a better idea where to look.
