Safari Problem with Ebay?

So i've just tried to buy a couple of things Buy It Now on Ebay, but got a problem message saying the latest version of Safari isn't compatable.
Is there way of solving this? As i'm not a Firefox fan!

Uploading problem with Ebay and Dreamweaver MX

I am unable to sync websites with Dreamweaver MX 6.01. When I connect to the remote server, it shuts down the program. I have reinstalled the program, but it still does it. Also, when I use Safari, Opera, and Firefox to upload photos on Ebay, the upload process fails completely, and blows me directly into My Ebay, as if I was not on the selling page at all. I have to go to my PC to do the photo uploads. Seems like it may be a related issue, some kind of uploading problem with Rosetta, or something. I am using a Macbook Pro with the 2.0Ghz processor, connected with ethernet cable, and firewall is set to off. Any ideas?

For E-Bay you might try the following:
Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Then launch Safari, and you will be able to use the new Debug menu.
If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat the command with a "0" instead of a "1".
Under the Debug menu, you'll see the User Agent sub-menu; select Windows MSIE 6.0 from the list and then try connecting to your web site
Dreamweaver you might need to update your version.
To Dreamweaver 8.01

Problems with Ebay after upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1

i have two computers. 1 with firefox 8 which navigates all aspects of Ebay(as a seller) fine. 2 with firefox 9.0.1 which has decided to stop me me editing variations in my listings. Ebay have suggested clearing out the cache etc but to no avail. This is causing a huge inconvenience and I reall don't want to go back to Internet Explorer(which also works fine)

The problem is not fixed and only getting worse and it is related to working with Ebay's picture service.
How do I go back to version 8?

Safari problems with certain web pages dowloading a page instead of display

on some sites when i click a link to go to or open a page, it downloads the link. this happens with ebay for example where when i click on a link, it downloads ebay.dll instead (i know, weird). and now, ebay.com isnt even opening - i just get a blank page. it happens with .asp pages and .js pages too. everything seems to work fine in firefox. i was also having problems with gmail which would not allow me to click on links and if i typed, it would jump to another field on the screen if i typed a non-alpha character (i know, weird). that seems to be fixed now and i can use gmail.
not sure what the problem is. any ideas?

You would have to remove (uninstall) or reinstall the Georgia font if it is currently corrupted.
You can use the System File Checker to check for missing and corrupted font files.
It needs to be run from an Elevated Command Prompt.
Open a cmd.exe window as Administrator:
Start, click Programs, click Accessories
Right-click Command Prompt, and choose "Run as administrator"
Click past the UAC Screen
After the cmd.exe prompt, type: sfc.exe /scannow and press Enter

Weird Safari problems with Forum

I've been having random problems with the forum and Safari. When I am not logged in I see this:
Every user, every post is the same except for the occasional (see the 7th row) odd one. I'm also not able to sign on. The login screen comes up but when I enter my un and pw the next page just reloads in a constant loop during the redirect. This is happening on 4 different computers 3 with OSX 10.8.2 and one with the lateest version of OSX 10.7. All have the latest version of Safari...

The forum database crashed a few days ago. There's all sorts of oddities. Not browser related (though of course you could always use a "decent" browser ).

Safari problem with plug-ins

I'm having problems with plug-ins in Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7).
Within the past two days, Flash, and today, Java applets will not work in Safari. I get the following error messages:
"The page “The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia” has content of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
"This page has content of MIME type “application/x-java-applet”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u16/index.html
Do you want to open the page?"
Java worked as of 3/31. It was on that date, that I first noticed the Flash/Shockwave notices.
My 5 most recent updates through Software update were:
3/31/10 AirPort Base Station Update 5.5.1
3/31/10 iTunes 9.1
3/29/10 Mac OS X Update 10.6.3
3/24/10 Safari 4.0.5
2/7/10 iTunes 9.0.3
As of today, I have repaired disk permissions, reset Safari & emptied Safari's cache.
The plugins that are in my disk:library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
AdobePDFViewer, DivXBrowserPlugin, DRM Plugin, Flash Player, flashplayer.xpt, Flip4Mac, Google Earth, iPhotoPhotocast,ipxBrowserPlugin (folder), JavaPluginCocoa.bundle,NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave, npdivx.xpt, NPSVG3Carbon, nslQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, QuartzComposer.webplugin, AuickTime Plugin, RealPlayer Plugin.
In my user:Library:Internet Plug-Ins folder are: fbplugin1_01 & fbplugin1_03.
This is all on my primary account, which is an administrator account.
FireFox loads the Flash/Shockwave just fine.
I created a new account, logged in with that, and it does not have the same problems. It can see the Flash content on the NY Times site fine.
Any suggestions on more things to do?
Thank you.

Hi Larry
re Mail - which may be a separate issue - many people have found that opening Java Preferences (Applications/Utilities/) & clicking both Restore Defaults buttons, stopped an 'attachments not showing
in Mail with missing plugin icon' problem.
In Safari - is it just Flash you don't see?
Try trashing Flash's settings & storage folder - Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
and a Flash cache folder - Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
If no better, there must be a preference file awry in your usual account, or some extra software beyond those facebook plugins.

hello, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775879 bug #775879] offers some background into the issue - essentially the breakdown of the ebay photo uploader is a by-product of a security relevant fix that landed in firefox 16. ebay is already aware of the issue & hopefully they are working on implementing changes in their code to solve the issue.

Safari Problems With 10.5.3

I have been experiencing Safari problems since I updated to 10.5.3. More particularly, I cannot log on to my web banking site. Sometimes the log-in page will not even load. I had no problems with 10.5.2 & I have no problems logging on with Firefox.

You might actually want to talk to Apple's Tech Support or something about this_ You'd probably feel more comfortable giving them specific info than posting stuff on a general discussion to trouble shoot this_
I just logged into my account at Bank of America - who has a real pain in the *** online system and I got into my account just fine_

Netgear WGR614v6 Problems with Ebay and others-Help!!

Just put in a Netgear WGR614v6 router and I can connect to the internet thru my 2-wire DSL modem (non-gateway1070-b).
First issue was that any email I sent out-bound from Mac Mail that had an attachment would just sit in my outbox, I then disabled the SPI firewall on the Netgear router and all worked fine.
The I went on to do further testing and found out that I can launch into ebay and ebay will only let me do one sign/in and or search then I will get a 'THE CONNECTION WAS RESET" page saying that "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Also when I access my SBC/Yahoo email thru the web, I can log onto my account and read my first or any one message, but then when I go to view a second the same thing happens as with ebay.
Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on.. is this a port 25 thing? All works fine when connected directly to the DSL modem.
Thanks in adavnace for any help you may have.

Figured it out, had to bridge by DSL modem and use the router as my DHCP server. All is working fine now.

Safari problems with Snow Leopard

Hi all
I bought my macbook almost two years ago now, it came with Leopard. In all that time I have no complaints about it except Mail's compatibility with several different internet connections I've had. However, since installing Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago, Safari has begun to freeze unexpectedly on sites like you Youtube and Facebook, so that I have to force quit. This happens about 10 minutes after having a site up. This problem is not restricted to safari - I've just downloaded Firefox and it also freezes.
Anybody else having similar problems, and does anyone have any advice to stop this from happening?
Cheers
Liam

HI,
Try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
If you have any 3rd party Safari plugins, they may not be compatible with 10.6. Go here...
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
If you are still experiencing problems when using Facebook, et al, delete this file.
com.apple.Safari.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
If you need help finding .plist files go here.

Safari Problem With Videos

I have an Intel Mac Mini with all of the latest firmware and the latest version of flash but for the past 2 months i haven't been able to watch quicktime videos or embedded flash videos like YouTube and the like. I have no idea why this is, can anyone help me?

I have the same problem. It started unexpectedly one afternoon, although all was fine the day before. Now, when I attempt to view Google Videos, all I see is the Quicktime logo with a question mark across it.
I did as you mentioned:
"Make sure all boxes are checked in your Safari Preferences>Security>Web content.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advances - enable flash ought to be unchecked. Also, Mime settings - Misc. - all boxes unchecked."
... it didn't fix anything.
The unfortunate part is that I don't remember if this started before or after I installed the latest Macbook firmware.

Safari Problem with Non-English websites

Hello every body,
I ran into strange problem, I do not know why I can not browse corectly some non-english websites like کانادا مهاجرت or مهاجرت کانادا or مهاجرت به کانادا . it sounds a messy, could I make a change in HTML codes to make it compatible with SAFARI?
Thank you

Taleo's job search is flat out broken on Safari. Clicking the "search" button does absolutely nothing. The latest Firefox is also broken.
The only conclusion I can draw is that Taleo doesn't support Mac users, period. Stunningly stupid. Says a lot about the quality of Taleo's products and workers.

Safari problem with m4v - podcasts

I created a proper podcast with quicktime etc which launches CORRECTLY in firefox, internet explorer and opera. in Safari, however, on clicking the podcast, a CODE windo is launched, so there is obviously some error somewhere.
Any ideas? thank you

The problem is in your page code (or lack of it).
Your "links" to the videos are direct to the files. Bad form as this bypasses the html code needed to call the correct browser plug-in.
A click on a link forces the browser to try and open the file in a new window and your server isn't properly configure (MIME types) to serve .m4v files.
So those .m4v open in a new browser window and display as text (gibberish).
You could learn how to properly code using object and embed tags or javascript that would call the browser plug-in (a lot of work) or simply tell your visitors to "right-click" on the links and choose to "Download Linked File" from the pop up menu.

Safari problems with languages

I have installed Safari Public Beta 3.0.1 in english on my french version of Windows Xp Home and it creates all the tree of directory with "English.lproj" or "en.lproj" but when i checked at the installed plugins it's lookking for the "fr.lproj" directory (probably because my system is in french). Also when i tried to modify the bookmarks in any way it closes the applications with no error message. I also tried to download it from France version of this site, but when i start the install it shows verything in english and does the same problem. So i'm thinking of maybe renaming all the directories to fit the language of my OS or simply trying to find it doesn't ask in which language i want to install it. If you know where i can change that option in Windows or how to get Safari to realize that he installed the english version and not the french.
Please can you help me.

Ok i found another topic that answered how to make Safari work :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=997163
But it still would like to know if and possibly how to install it in french (not that i want to, i like the english version). But i would prefer not having to copy and rename files to make it work. Let's hope the problem will be fixed in the next release.

Safari problems with iPhone4

i keep getting this problem when i use safari on my iphone 4 and it happens on both wifi connections and 3G connections. i will be viewing a site example wikipedia, and then i will click on a link on the page to view more info on the topic and it will open up in a new window or whatever and everything will be fine. soon i will have about 5 pages opened and then when i go to one it will reload, like a complete refresh and i will loose my spot that i was reading. a little annoying but whatever but then when i go to the next page it does the same thing and it will reload all of them and i will loose my spot on all of them. yeah a little annoying but this happens multiple times a day and not just for wikipedia but for forums. now its not the inconvenience that im concerned with its more the bandwidth that im using having to reload the pages multiple times daily. one day i used 100 megs of my 2 gigs in bandwidth. im not always able to be on a wifi in which case i don't really care. but i checked the safari options on the phone and im seeing nothing to correct this. if there's anything i can do please let me know.
thank you.

If Safari is having to reload a page when you go back to it, that means it didn't have enough memory to keep the page in memory. This can happen if you have lots of pages open in Safari, or lots of other apps frozen in memory.
Try to keep the number of Safari windows to a minimum and close any potentially memory hungry apps in the Recently Used Apps list.
