Safari problems with Twitter & Google Docs

Has anyone else been having problems recently using Google Docs & Twitter in Safari (I'm currently using 5.0.1)?
*For Google Docs:*
It logs in sometimes very slowly to show me my list of Docs. Then when I actually am able to open a doc, it continues to say "Working..." at the top and "Loading https://spreadsheets..." at the very bottom.
*For Twitter:*
Things seem to load ok, but it will not let me post a Tweet. Also when typing in the "What's happening?" box, the 140 character count does not count down. The Tweet button is also dull/ghosted/grayed out. I found this article: http://support.twitter.com/articles/136114-tweets-don-t-post-after-pressing-the- tweet-button-known-issue/20 mentioning what sounds like a similar problem, but I checked and I have Java enabled.
Very frustrating

Ok.. WEIRD.. Just as a thought I turned off all Safari Extensions and it instantly fixed all of my problems. I then thought there was a bug in a specific Extension I had installed. I turned the Extensions back on though and things are still working fine. I did notice one of my Extensions had an update ready to install.
Things are still working fine for me, though I don't know if it was an issue with Extensions in general or a specific one I had. Here is a list of the Extensions I currently have installed:
Twitter for Safari
Exposer
Share to Google Reader
Facebook Photo Zoom
Access Keys
Awesome Screenshot
Anyone else have these Extensions installed?

Problem with Twitter for Mac notifications

Hello,
I have a strange problem with Twitter for Mac. On both my home and office Macs. New posts appear in app window but there aren't any notifications even though notifications are set in preferences to show in both dock and menubar. Perhaps anyone noticed similar strange behaviour? I didn't find anything similar on Twitter forums.
Thanks in advance.

go to Terminal and post this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/support/lsregister -kill -seed
if it doesn't have that specific directory try this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
once the scanning is done (can be short or long, depends on how heavy your system is) RESTART the computer.
when you're back, go to Apple>system preferences>extensions.... guess who's there.
I hope it helped.

I'm having problems with Twitter loading up a completely blank page and no longer displaying content and with Bloomberg not playing videos

I'm having problems with Twitter not loading up content and showing me a blank page. I've tried to empty the browser cache but it doesn't seem to work.
I also have issues with Bloomberg not playing videos

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.

Problems with Pages 5 docs converting to Word docs

It seems with the new upgrade on my MacBook Air, I have a glitch. Now when I convert a Pages doc to Word, the page breaks get removed and the doc turns into a sea. Also, I sent this new Word doc to my Kindle to upload into ebook form (never had a problem with Pages 09 previously, always came out beautifully) and now the doc turns into a digitally mangled mess. Any ideas?? Thank you.

Usually when it does that it is because there is an XML table somewhere buried in there and either the table width or margin indents are forcing the text far left.
Hard to pin down the problem with being able to examine the actual file contents.
…and Pages 5 is buggy.
So why don't you just use Pages '09? It works.

Problem with Twitter

Are any other BT users having trouble using Twitter? This is what I now get. I've done a power cycle on the hub - no difference. I've tried using another PC on a different ISP and different phone line which works fine. I also tried my laptop which is connected wirelessly to my hub and it's the same - the blue screen shown below. There is no McAfee software on my PC or laptop. Is there an issue with BT's server(s) that is partly blocking Twitter? It was fine until earlier today.

There still appears to be problems with it. :/
Also, as discussed here, I'm unable to access Last FM
Anyone know what is going on, or know the best way to contact BT to let them know that there is a problem?

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 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_

Problem with using Google 2 step verification and iCal

Hi,
Does anyone here use Google 2 step verification? If so, how have you gotten it to work with iCal? I am doing the steps just as Google says to do them (generate an application-specific password and enter that password instead of my regular Google password) but I keep getting an error message. I was able to set up Gmail in the Mail app just fine with the Google 2 step verification application-specific password. I am not sure why iCal is giving me problems. I have searched Google and can't really find a good answer or a step by step solution. I am running Lion. I hope someone can help me. Thank you.
Leann

One note: I have many calendars in my google calendar. In order to make all those calendars sync as well, I had to follow the above steps plus:
launch iCal
open Settings -> Account
click the appropriate Google CalDAV account
select the delegation tab
enable all the appropriate calendars that you want sync'd with iCal
close Settings
confirm calendars now show up in Calendar List
Refresh All, this should cause all the added calendars to fail, one will even pop-up a password dialog box.
Paste in the generated google password from the initial steps and click OK
Click each of the error triangles in turn, pasting in the password into the dialog box that pops up and click OK
refresh all and cofirn they all sync now

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

Safari/Mail certificate problem with gmail/google

Here is my problem:
I have set-up Mail to use my gmail account through POP. Since yesterday, when I try to get or send mail, mail gives me the error:
Unable to verify SSL server pop.gmail.com
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "pop.gmail.com'. The error was:
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "pop.gmail.com', and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
I then have the option to show the certificate,cancel or continue. If I hit Continue, nothing happens and mail set itself to offline. If I force Mail back online (Menu Mailbox/Go Online), when it goes on the next automatic check, it turns back offline. After hours of google search, I also tried the option to show the certificate, then drag the icon of the certificate to the desktop, then open the certificate with Keychain in order to add it to the keychain but this did not work for me, keychain refused to open it and if I double-click it on the desktop it opens as a clipping content. If I change the typre/creator to force Keychain to open it, then I got an error "Unable to import an item".
I then tried to access gmail within Safari (not through POP) and I got this error when I tried to login:
Safri cannot establish a secure connection to www.google.com
At the same time, I had no problem to access it with Firefox. Back to google search, I tried to use Safari debug menu to set the security to "Performs Lax Certificate Checks" and then I could access my gmail with Safari. However the problem persists in Mail.
I believe this is a system-wide certificate issue (Firefox not affected because of a diffrent handling of certificates?not much knowledge about certificates). I tried all the standard troubleshooting:
re-boot, logoff, repair permissions, reapply latest security updates, reapply latest OS update, reset Safari, clean-up caches, discarded all mail preferences,clear-up keychain of any google/gmail.
Finally I also found in my searches to try ro download a certicate from Thawte (ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer) and add it to my keychain but this does not solve the problem.
Help will be greatly appreciated

Are you saying that this is a well-recognised issue?
Can we assume that the reason for not fixing it is that Nokia want people to use Nokia Messaging instead? It came free with my phone and I did try it. It connected & synchronised well but contacts in headers kept appearing in quotes ("") and when I checked my email from my main IMAP client my sent items included incomplete versions of my emails as well as the finished email - as if it was sending drafts.
I guess I'm sticking with MfE for calendar and IMAP for email...

[SOLVED] firefox problems with Twitter and google+

I've been having some issues with firefox. I don't know if they are related, but they've been getting on my nerves.
First off, Twitter just shows a blank page with the background picture. I can't view any twitter posts at all.
Secondly, pages which check for browser compatibility all seem to report that my browser isn't supported (it is). For example, Google+ gives me a "Your Browser is no longer supported." page while the list of supported browsers states: "Linux : Chrome, Firefox 3.6 and up".
I'm using the latest version of firefox from extra (7.0.1-1). Also, these problems are not new to this version, as they have been occurring for as long as I've had this computer (~10 months). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Disabling the plugins did nothing, but creating a new profile seems to have fixed it.
I still don't know what caused the problems, but I've migrated all my stuff over to the new profile and everything is working well. I'm marking this thread as solved, thanks for the help!

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.

VISA is the generic communication interface.
Hyperterminal has serial comm drivers as well. It just so happens that Hyperterminal is using the serial comm drivers that are built into Windows. That's why you don't notice them.
If you installed LabVIEW, then you should have installed the drivers that come with it. It is on a separate DVD. Obviously you haven't.

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.
