Safari with 10.7.3 -Still no Screen Sleep Fix on HTML5 Video

Yesterdday 10.7.3 was released with new Safari and there is still NO fix for the Full Screen Sleep issue with HTML5 Video, whats wrong with you Apple, this bug is since Lion released with Safari,5.1 now 3 Versions later this small bug is still not fixed, but already known, i dont want to use Caffeine or such stuff, while Apple sugggests the Web to use HTML5 why is the support for basic Features so bad?

Solved!
A Workaround:
Get the Webkit Nightly Build , download and add to your App Folder, make it the Default browser, follow the instructions to show your homepage, after this you almost done, than download
RCDefaultApp, open System Preferences launch RCDefaultApp, go under Apps, search for Webkit and mark all all associations, Safari is no more dfeault for something, after this, go to Extensions Pane and search for the safariextz Extension, now set it to Webkit as well, now you are most up to date and Webkit updates more often than Safari ever did ^^
Enjoy

Safari version 7.0.6 (9537.78.2) won't play html5 videos. (Mavericks on Macbook Pro)

Since upgrading to Safari version 7.0.6 (9537.78.2), html5 videos will no longer play. (Mavericks on Macbook Pro) I get the error message "Please upgrade your browser to view HTML5 content". The only extension I have is ClickToFlash. When I disable it, I get the error message immediately without having to click on the "Flash" button to give it permission to run.

same thing for me... yesterday i started noticing flakey graphics on video playing, then went shopping on Amazon which kept telling me to upgrade my browser, and when I check the link to safari update, I am greeted with I have the latest version of safari. I checked my Last Yosemite update... it is current.   I rebooted my computer went to bed, and today, nothing on Yahoo, Abc News, youtube will play when it comes to video.   A conspiracy in the making to take down or disrupt all apple users I am sure must be going on.    I say this because I checked another iMac which has been working flawlessly.   And update to flash came in, I did not perform that update.   Videos worked fine.   That update was done and bam... no video playing on that computer either.
I think Apple should release something immediately and stop anymore flash on mac updates to be installed.   Adobe needs to be notified that what ever they have released is killing all apple users who use safari.
ANYONE READING THIS BE AWARE THAT THE LATEST FLASH UPDATE PROMPT WILL KILL YOUR MAC SAFARI AND VIDEO PLAYING ON SAFARI WILL END.   AMAZON and OTHER SITES WILL TELL YOU YOUR BROWSER IS OUT OF DATE, IGNORE THAT BECAUSE I THINK WHO OR WHAT EVER COMPANY IS BEHIND THIS HAS BEEN WORKING INSIDE WITH THOSE COMPANIES ALTERING CODE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVEN TO START UPDATING SOFTWARE IN HOPES OF SNAGGING THE UPDATE FROM ADOBE THAT CAUSES THINGS TO CEASE WORKING.
TODAY Both IMACS Running YoSemite will not play video and are both crashing with Graphic Hardware errors... 2 iMacs that are 2 years apart on Manufacture date, and both were working flawlessly this past weekend.

Transcoded a project probably 7 times now with different settings. Still producing screen flickers.

Hey everyone.
This is my first post. I'm still green in the industry and dont know all the intricasies of the ins and outs of encore, but I feel I have a decent grasp on what im doing...
Here's the scoop: Project is an hour and a half, frame rate at 29.97 with an anamorphic aspect. Classical guitar performance; very little movement, a couple camera angels, some pictures thrown in, simple stuff. Photoshop menus; no .mov files or audio in the menu... Every time I have transcoded I have ended up with blips, or flashes, or flickers throughout the project. Basically for a fraction of a second you see video from another part of the timeline. Like Tyler Durden's porn scene prank in the movie Fight Club.
I've tried automatic settings, 2 pass hq 4mb variable bit rate, 1 pass 8mb hq cbr, 2 pass 23.976 4mb (out of desperation, I know it's the wrong frame rate) constant bit rate at 6 mbs, and custom settings for vbr 2 pass and 1 pass vbr. I'm burning at 3x as well.
My next thought is transcoding at an even lower cbr like 3 mbps? I read that you can also transcode a project in multiple sections before a build. Would this be a worth while endeavor?
Any help or suggestions or comments I can get will be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine I need to get this done yesterday.
Thank you!

Completely frozen with DO NO DISCONNECT still on screen

Hi. Bought a new ipod last week, have been using ipod for 4 yrs and never experienced this before. Itunes transferred 7,000 songs with no problem, but would not disconnect. I tried all the usual ways ie. through ejecting manually, but in the end, had to close laptop down. Now Ipod has permanent message " NOT DISCONNET", is completley frozen, will not reset, switch on or do anything.
I have a brand new Toshiba laptop BTW so no problems that end!
any ideas?

Christine,
It must be on if it's showing the message, see if this works to get it disconnected. iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual the tick box will be greyed out, set it to auto, untick the disk use box and set it back to manual.

Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen?

Updated my iphone with iOS7.0.3, still dont have the option to reject the call or reject the call with a message when someone call and the phone is in the lock screen? I was of the impression that this issue will be fixed with updates. Please see the screenshot.

Hello Beardsell,
This is when the phone is unlocked mode. My snapshot is when the phone is locked.
Remember when you get a call when the phone is locked and you used to have slide to answer in iOS 6 and if you slide up you would have options to reject, reject with a message and reject with a reminder. We dont have that in iOS 7. iOS 7 *****, I cannot get back to iOS6, apple needs to be user friendly. Screen shot 1 when the phone is locked, screenshot 2 when the phone is unlocked.

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

Hi Guys,
I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

Thank you,
That's not it - Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

Safari 4 Color and Gamma STILL Washes Out -- NOT Solved 7/4/2009

OK, just bringing this back to the top:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2032159&start=0&tstart=0 is listed as 'Solved', but that was totally premature. The alleged fixes range from the usual repair permissions, trash Safari prefs, reboot, etc., but it's all temporary, at best.
A CLEAN install of the OS to a virgin partition, followed by permissions, repair, combo updater, apply all related Safari, repair permissions, delete, shutdown and reboot leaves you with the same issue as soon as you sleep displays, go to screen saver, use FUS, and come back in with Safari 4 already running, you will get the screen wash as further described here:
http://gallery.me.com/frederico/100070
Posted Elsewhere:
Gamma settings within Safari 4 windows since upgrade will "degrade" (read: darken and stratify) when scrolling the window contents, using either scroll wheel, arrow keys, or mouse on scroll bar. Text also becomes progressively fuzzy and its opacity decreases until the entire window is black.
Moving another application window in front, or minimizing and maximizing the errant window, moving or resizing it in any manner, or using the 'Force Repaint' command will restore the appearance immediately. I can capture screenshots of it, but cannot use your included screenshot command, as the mere act of dropping down the report slider forces repaint.
Quitting Safari, rebooting machine, or just logging out will "cure" the problem for a short time, but it returns fairly quickly. I do not believe I have any third party plugins causing the issue; I removed several and the problem still crept back; each user account, including a freshly created test account sees this error.
This can fairly regularly be triggered by sleeping the displays or entering locked screensaver, logging in, and going to several sites such as Daring Fireball, Mac OS X Hints, and anything displaying PNG and Flash combos.
Perhaps related: I updated to 10.5.7 at the same time, and when I restarted, noticed that the gamma profile on my center screen (of five LCDs) was severely washed out. Switching back and forth between any other color profile in Displays and back to my calibrated profile will cure the wash -- until I log out and back in. Each user account, including a freshly created test account sees this error.
Have also clean installed OS X 10.5.4 and updated to a10.5.7 using combo updater; then installed and updated Safari 4. Problem follows Main screen (menubar host) on each of five LCD displays on three ATi video cards on Mac Pro Quad 2008.
Getting ready to restore back to Safari 3 and 10.5.6 from clone; this behavior is becoming tedious.

Now THAT is interesting. I typically do not have two Safari windows open and active on the same screen; I usually have three or more Safari windows open, but each is on its own screen, using tabs within each.
I think it's fascinating to see that the content is only affected in one window on the same page.
Can you elaborate as to your trigger? Is it FUS? Screensaver? Other?
The suggestion in either this thread or the other to switch the window momentarily to another screen to clear the problem until the next FUS or screensaver event is my current favorite fix. I have hotkeys assigned to move a window from one screen to another, anyway, so when I return to a user session from login to see Safari schizing out, a quick screen-swap toggle clears the issues until I allow a screensaver (but not always) or engage FUS (always) and see the issue return.
Do you have multiple screens? Can you reliably resolve the issue by swapping and returning, rather than being forced to quit Safari?
One thing to note about the screen swap, is that when this issue is occurring, there is a tremendous lag (a solid second or so) before the window is actually moved to the other screen, and a comparable lag when returning. IOW, there is an observable and HUGE processor spike as well as a memory-use spike (seen in Activity Monitor, top, and iStat Menus) as it deals with moving the visual display (be it plain text or graphic or video content) when this bug is active, but the same action two seconds later, or the same action in any other program, nets near-instant screen movement in response to the global hotkey action.
So, whatever it is that is borked between Safari and Core Video is not just an interpretation/ColorSync/disply error; it seems also to be leaking memory and having runaway processor cycles, as well.
There are times when Safari, with less than ten or twenty tabs open starts eating pretty close to 2GB of RAM, and will dominate a single processor to near 100%, *without* any windows actually containing very much in the way of images, and certainly no Flash or even QT.
I know this sounds a bit arrogant and spoiled, but thank God I have 8 cores and 8GB of RAM; I cannot imagine how this bug might feel on a single core machine with less than 2GB of RAM.

Why does my Lightshop 5.6 hangs on opening with "not responding" at top of screen.

I managed to use the programme for the first time after original install. Next day it just hung on opening with the panels all their on screen but with the splash screen still centre and "not responding" at top of screen. I am totally new to Lightroom and set it up using Scott Kelby's book Lightroom 5 everything appeared to set up properly. I uninstalled the programme and reinstalled exactly same thing has happened. Is their a maximum caralog size that is usuable, mine is 2.7TB and is on one of the desktop's 3 discs.
Advice please, thanks

No, but try terminating and restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen. How do I reset that to open in full screen?

Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go.

I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.
