Safari Problems with WebCam

The URL below ought to take you to a marvellous web cam of a nesting eagle on Bowen island, just off the coast of Vancouver, BC.
Can someone please tell me why Safari brings up only a distorted video image composed of numerous odd colours, whereas accessing the site using IE brings up the eagle beautifully.
The site uses Windows Media Player. For some reason Safari cannot display this, even though I have Flip 4 Mac which automatically translates WMP into Quicktime.
They are expecting the eggs to hatch in the next few days!
Thanks,

I want to get to the same site. My Safari gave me the following message, but I have no idea what to do about it.
The page “Eagle Eye Cam - Powered By Infotec Business Systems” has content of MIME type “video/x-ms-asf-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Any hints as to where I go to get the appropriate plug in??

  • 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.

  • Problem with webcam capture

    Dear all,
    Using the Peter Parente's "webcam capture" library (Webcam Continuous Capture.vi), I faced some problems. In fact instead of showing for example one 320*240 picture it displayed some smaller pictures with some other parts of the picture indicator left blank(black).
    What's the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Hello Smal,
    I did a search for this library and it looks like it was developed some time ago.  The FAQ on the download page seems to indicate that you need to make sure that your acquisition parameters in Windows and LabVIEW need to match in order for this to work properly.  There was also a data type change between Vision 6.1 and 7.0 so that could be related, but it sounds more likely it is something else.
    If your camera is DirectShow compatible and you have Vision, you can try IMAQ for USB.  This, like Peter Parente's Library, is not actively being developed or supported by National Instruments Applications Engineers, but you may have some more luck, assuming you are using more recent versions of LabVIEW and Vision.
    If there is a problem with a specific VI, please try to narrow down where the problem is occurring.  You may be able to post an image that might indicate how the library is failing.
    I hope this helps!  Good luck with your application.
    Regards,
    Angela

  • 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_

  • 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 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.

  • Problems with webcamming...

    The camera itself works, I can open the program, take pictures and make videos, but when I try to use it with MSN or AIM messengers it gives me an error saying that there is no webcamera detected. It is not just this one either, I've tried another and I have the same problems. Also the actual image is oddly distorted. Bars of red, blue, and white, flicker on the screen at random. Any ideas as to what my problem is?

  • 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.
