Spacebar doesn't work in Safari

For the past few days I've been noticing that the spacebar doesn't always work the first time it is hit in Safari on certain websites. So far I've noticed this on Facebook and Yelp.
On Yelp if I go to type a review, the spacebar won't work at all. It will work, however, if I try to search for something.
On Facebook if I go to respond to someone's status, I have to hit the spacebar two times before it puts in the first space. All spaces after that first space work.
I've tried using different browsers, and the spacebar works fine, so this makes me think it's some kind of Safari issue. Maybe I changed a setting on accident?
I'm using OSX Lion on a 2008 Macbook Aluminum Unibody.
Thanks!!

Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try the space bar.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

HELP! Uploading AS3 Game to server, no sound and Spacebar doesn´t work HELP!

Hello, relatively new to AS3 and flash, this is the first time i am publishing anything. We are trying to upload our simple flashgame to our webserver, the game works perfectly fine locally save for one thing. We get an error regarding TLF which says it wont stream or something. So when it gets online, no sounds play and spacebar doesn't work, left and right arrow does work. We have three TLF text fields that are used to update score, lives and show you final score. If i turn these into classical text they stop working.
Things we have tried: Changing default linkage from RLS to Merged into code, changing the text boxes to classical text(they then stop working), made sure the paths are correct(all files are in the same directory including the .swz file)
This is the code from the soundclass:
package
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;
    import flash.events.*;
    public class MySound
        private var bgSound:Sound;
        private var fireSound:Sound;
        private var waterSound:Sound;
        private var earthSound:Sound;
        private var lightSound:Sound;
        private var soundChannel:SoundChannel;
        public function MySound()
            soundChannel = new SoundChannel();
            bgSound = new Sound();
            var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("BackgroundSound.mp3");
            bgSound.load(req);
            //fire
            fireSound = new Sound();
            var req2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundFire.mp3");
            fireSound.load(req2);
            // water
            waterSound = new Sound();
            var req3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundWater.mp3");
            waterSound.load(req3);
            // earth
            earthSound = new Sound();
            var req4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundEarth.mp3");
            earthSound.load(req4);
            // light
            lightSound = new Sound();
            var req5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundLight.mp3");
            lightSound.load(req5);
        public function playBgSound()
            soundChannel = bgSound.play(0, 999999);
        public function stopBgSound()
            soundChannel.stop();
        public function playFireSound()
            fireSound.play();
        public function playWaterSound()
            waterSound.play();
        public function playEarthSound()
            earthSound.play();
        public function playLightSound()
            lightSound.play();
I can somewhat get that sound can bugg out, but why does spacebar stop functioning? ANy help is greatly appreciated as this has to be delivered in twelve hours(published online) for a school assignment.

Also might add publishing it locally in my own browser everything works, as does ofcourse playing it in flash itself. Changing from RLS to merged into code stops the error from coming, but doesn´t fix the problem on the server.

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

Download doesn't work with Safari

Just a tip if you happen to be using Mac OS. It appears that the License Agreement
page doesn't work using Safari. Works fine with Camino, though.

Hi Matthew
Does the Activity Window work normally when Rapport is uninstalled ?
If so, I'm not sure what you could do beyond keeping it that way & watching for an updated version; or contacting
http://www.trusteer.com/support/report-problem & seeing what they say, since it might conflict with some other add-on. You've the same trouble in a new account ?.

XMLhttprequest doesn't work in safari

i have a website and it works fine in Internet Explorer, but the website doesn't work in Safari.
i use xmlhttprequest to get data from the database and that data i want to put in an selectbox.
i have multiple selectboxes and the first one i don't use ajax to get the data and that one works fine. but as soon as i use ajax it doesn't work anymore in safari.
this is the function i call to get the data.
function UpdateOrder(custid)
      var xhrrequest = getXhr();
          // Ici on va voir comment faire du post
      xhrrequest.open("GET","ajax/UpdateOrder.php" +"?q=" + custid, true);
      // ne pas oublier ?a pour le post
      xhrrequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') ;
      xhrrequest.send("bedrijfsnaam="+custid);
      // On d?fini ce qu'on va faire quand on aura la r?ponse
      xhrrequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
       // On ne fait quelque chose que si on a tout re?u et que le serveur est ok
       if(xhrrequest.readyState==4 && xhrrequest.status==200){
        var string=xhrrequest.responseText;
        var array=eval(string);
        var tdaddress = document.getElementById("tdorderid");
        var selectiebox = document.getElementById("selorderid");
        if (array.length > 0)
         //selectiebox vullen met straatnamen
         var splarray = array.toString();
         var strarray = splarray.split(",");
         var i=0;
         for(i=0; i< strarray.length; i++)
          var oOption=document.createElement("option");
          oOption.setAttribute(i,strarray[i]);
          oOption.setAttribute('value',strarray[i]);
          var oText=document.createTextNode(strarray[i]);
          oOption.appendChild(oText);
          selectiebox.appendChild(oOption);
i also viewed the errorlog and there it said:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
Any suggestions?

Java doesn't work on safari / xp

Downloaded the latest Safari, 5.1.7, for Windows XP
Downloaded the latest Java, JRE as well as tried JDK, 7.04 and configured for IE and Safari.
Java.com test works on IE, but on Safari, refers to
C:\Program Files\Oracle\JavaFX 2.1 Runtime\bin\server\jvm.dll
There is no server directory, nor any jvm.dll anywhere in the Oracle install.
What's wrong??
Help!

Ok, 3 days and no responses. I guess Java doesn't work on Safari/XP. Time to switch...

I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!

Why do I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!I have flash for mac.Your help will be appreciated.

If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

HT5655 Flash still doesn't work with Safari.

I've done this repeatedly. Flash still doesn't work with Safari. It does work with Firefox and Chrome.
I deleted the Flash plugin from Library>Internet Plugins. That didn't solve the problem either.
What can I try next? Thanks.

Javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success

javascript doesn't work on safari desktop but works properly on Safari ipad. I already cleaned a cache without success. IE, FF and Opera are working well

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Spacebar doesn't work as hand tool anymore

Spacebar doesn't work as hand tool anymore in CC 2014
How can I use it? I can not specify the spacebar as a quick button on the hand-tool
Only letters can be used to assign keyboard shortcuts

Hey! try this it is very simple and it worked for me.
1. Open photoshop
2. Go to the top left corner where the list of tools are. right under the "MAC apple"
3. hit right click and select "reset all tools"
4. restart photoshop and that should be it.
I hope it helps.

Flash Player doesn't work on Safari, Netscape, nor Mozilla

I've downloaded the flash player but it's funny that it works
on Internet Explorer but it doesn't work on the other browsers. I
downloaded it from here --->
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
Why is that? I don't like to use Internet Explorer and I rather use
Mozilla or Safari.
Then, why my computer says "You don't have sufficient disk
space to complete this installation. Please free 5000 KB and try
again" when I tried to download it from Safari/Mozilla????... the
computer has around 142 GB free to use. I'm so confused.
Help!!

Hi Berryblue and Uniondue-
With that issue, the most common problem is that drive C: is
not the hard drive. FP is hard-coded to C: and won't dl to another
letter.
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406903
But, in this forum, I have seen another issue with Firefox.
See the thread by ppalesch, dated 1/21/09 "latest flashplayer will
not install on firefox".
Also see "Insufficient diskspace to install: WRONG!" by
PhaineinTerra, dated 4/28/07, read the replies by Darren McNally of
Adobe.

Mailto: Link doesn't work in Safari

In my project, we have a link to open a outlook mail. when i open the link in IE/Chrome/Firefox browser, it opens the outlook with the given mail id. But, same link was not working properly in safari browser.
I am using safari version 5.1.7(7534.57.2). When i click the link, it opens the outlook mail, but my current(Parent) window gets crashed.
Below is the sample code i used.
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendEmail);
function sendEmail(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]"));
Thank in advance

Thanks for your reply..
We already tried that too. But doesn't work.
My problem is after clicking the link, my current window became black screen and it opens the outlook with the given mail id
we are not sure, whether the issue is related to flash player or safari browser.
Any idea?

My spacebar doesn't work.

Tech support thought my apps where corrupt because of the security settings in Window 8.
All apps removed and reinstalled after security settings changed.
The spacebar still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Did it run OK under a new User-Account ?
If so - then the need to clean out iMovie to re-install will not help at all but just be complicated.
If it did run OK - Then
• Delete iMovie pref. file
iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
not the Library at root level = first window when opening Your Macintosh HD (Mac OS) Start-Up HD
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter: chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
To find all parts of iMovie to trash to make a Clean Install - is not easy and there will be others that can guide You trough this process. - I never needed to do that - and I used iMovie since iMovie (1) > 10 Years
Yours Bengt W
