THEORY ON MUSIC AND SAFARI BUG

I have a theory about people complaining, their music stops playing when they are browsing the internet.
I think... that the music stops to allow music on websites and sound effects on websites to function. The safari sounds override the music, allowing sites like Youtube and Myspace to function with sound.

To be picky about it, in contemporary scientific terms it was a hypothesis, not a theory. Guesses become hypotheses when they are well defined enough to provide ways to test their validity; they become theories when they pass all the tests anyone can devise. Even well established theories may need to be discarded or modified if new tests demonstrate they can't meet this criteria.
The only way to be wrong in this scheme is to refuse to acknowledge the validity of the testing process. This happens more often than it should because even good scientists are often reluctant to abandon ideas they have grown comfortable with.

  • Mountain Lion (10.8) and Safari bugs

    Hello,
    I want to chime in and list the bugs in Safari since my install of Mac OS 10.8.0
    Java does not function as it should. It's buggy and generates errors, stops on errors and wont load data from some websites correctly.
    My main concern centres around my work place and our use of IP video cameras to record people coming and going. We login to individual camera's on occasion to check streaming. 10.6.x and Safari never failed at this but 10.8 and the new Safari will load the first few frames of a stream and then the stream will halt. Investigation has pointed towards Java and a possible Safari incompatibilty. Google Chrome and Opera have similar issues, FireFox on the other hand works as it should.
    We also use FileMaker Pro 12 to display some of our camera feeds (custom WebViewer windows) for a receptionist, which work great under 10.6.8 and it's underlying WEB Kit engine. Mac OS 10.8 fails on this front, loading a few frames of live content, with the stream freezing there after. This does not affect the functionality of FileMaker just the the live streaming from our camera's.
    Any input from other readers would be of assistance.
    p.s. A quick trip to a Genius Bar was futile as the rep had no knowledge of Mountain Lion, Java or Safari...

  • Less than two week old iPad Air crashes with youtube/netflix and Safari when loading pages with video (i.e. Buzzfeed with links to youtube and vine). What's up with iPad Air's bugs with videos??

    Week and a half old iPad Air crashes with light usage of youtube, netflix and safari pages with video links to youtube and vine. The consistency of problems with videos has led me to determine that it must be bugs with iPad Air. Anyone else having this problem?
    Details: iPad Air 16gb wifi, have only used about 25% of space and always close all apps before opening another. I also have only had a max of two tabs open on safari of basic internet surfing (i.e. A google search page, or imdb for example). These crashes are annoying as sh......

    I can well imagine that they are.
    I would backup, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then try again. If that fails, restore again but do not use the backup - restore as new. If the iPad functions OK as new, then slowly rebuild the iPad adding your apps, music etc, methodically to see if you can pin down what might be causing the problem.
    if all of that fails, it's time to schedule an appointment at an Apple a Store (must be done online) and have them take a look, or of it is lees than two weeks old, just return it for a refund and buy another one.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

    Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
    So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or  Chrome.
    Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 >  www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
    See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

  • After upgrade on OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?

    After upgrade to 10.95 OS and Safari 7.1 I can no longer do 2 finger scrolling.  Anyone else find this bug in upgrade?  If so, ideas on how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My songs are missing in the music and the used memory doesn't change. Is it a bug for IOS7? How can I fix it?

    I plugged my ipod touch 5 via usb to the pc and browsed my music on itunes. And suddenly i played some music and there's a exclamation point before the song. I haven't deleted that song or moved. And the whole album was gone. And i checked the number of songs on my ipod and it decreased without change in memory used. Is it an another BUG for ios7? is there a way to fix it?

    That indicates the song files are not corrupted.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An large "other" usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

    As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty.  Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
    Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer.  Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

    Hello,
    There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari).  They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end.  That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today.  BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
    The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
    Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

  • Music and Photo Syncing Bugs in IOS7?

    I have tried several times to sync my iPod to iTunes but I'm running into two significant issues:
    1) I have 947 songs on the playlist that I sync to the iPod. Comes to about 4.4 GB on my computer. However, when I hit sync, this happens:
    Sometimes, a couple minutes after the sync is finished, it slides back to 4.45GB on the computer screen until I hit sync. The iPod still says it is taking 8.4 GB. The second I hit sync, the music bar slides up to 8.4 GB again.
    I have tried pulling the music off and re-syncing it, but this still occurs. Removing the music also removed 3 GB of 'other' data which reappeared when the music was re-synced. I also am unable to load any new items onto my iPod because of space constraints, it seems to think the entire 8GB is taken, leaving me with 800 phantom songs/4GB phantom space taken.
    This is not occurring with my iPad Mini, which is also synced to the same computer, music library, etc.
    2) The other syncing bug I have is approximately 3,000 phantom-ish pictures. They were synced to my iPod from iPhoto from my previous computer, which then suffered a hard drive failure. The photos are accessible on the iPod, but I can't seem to access them from my new computer, either through iPhoto or Image Capture. They both say there are no pictures on the iPod, even though there are. Anybody know any programs/tips to pull those photos?
    Since I still haven't manage to pull the photos from my iPod since the hard drive failure, I am reluctant to wipe the iPod completely because I'd lose them. Any idea what's going on with my iPod? I'm up to date with software (iOS 7.1.2, iTunes 11.4, Mavericks)

    To get synced photos off the iPod you need a third-party program. I know TouchCopy and Phone view work but do not know if the free iFunBox works.
    For your other problem:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • MAGENTO WEBSITE AND SAFARI (Mac only) BUG.

    I seem to be finding that my new website does not work with Safari 4.0.5 on a mac running OSX 10.4.11
    Cookies will not enable (checked preferences)
    You cannot log in.
    You cannot add items to basket or shop.
    I don't see who is at fault and why it works fine on Safari and Windows 7.
    Can anyone help?
    I also see this issue on other peoples sights.
    http://www.lodgerfootwear.com
    Is an example.
    You can create accounts but not log in or buy or add items to your cart.
    Also if you try to use Magento admin panel it just resets.
    Since this is a Safari and Mac issue not PC and Safari where is the issue coming from??
    Can anyone please advise? I would really like to launch my website but since many of my customers use this set up I and force to wait.
    Thanks

    Safari is one of the most standards-compliant browsers ever built. Thus, your best bet for ensuring your pages render properly in Safari — today’s version and beyond — is to follow web standards.
