sorry for the slow reply.
The problem did happen as soon as I installed 10.6. As I still work in 10.5 as well I do a lot of switching between the two. The problem has never appeared on 10.5, and has now stopped happening on 10.6
Do you still have the issue after a reboot? I have not had the issue since I posted this topic and nothing has changed on my pack

3 finger backswipe not working on safari

Hello,
Well besides the 3 finger backswipe not working very well, and tempermental at best. Safari has also not been able to load certain pages (my firefox does just fine) , it has also been suuuuperr slowwwww. And just in general not working well at all. In other words it's been crappy.
So, uh, whats up with Safari.
I already did a permissions repair, and a 'Safari Reset' (multiple times), finishing always with a clean restart of the machine.
I do have snow leopard still, as my os (10.6.8). I have a macbook pro, 7.1
So hey everybody whats up with Safari, anyone know how to fix this?
Do I need to uninstall Safari and reload it? Is that possible?
Please only answer if you really know what is going on with safari, thanks
-Mo

Yeah, I get no replies from any of the techs here. Everyone has usually always been friendly and cordial and helpful here. But , only silence regarding this issue.
I may have thrown some people off when I stated in my original question, "Please only answer if you really know what is going on with safari, thanks ""
Well the reason I said that is , sometimes I get people who say things like, "Do a permission repair" or, "Check your Prefrences for Trackpad."
,,,,,,Already did all that. Did that before I ever got on this forum, that stuff is like real basic protocols for me.
I want to know what the heck is really going on,,,,,,just like you.
Anyone else have a real clue?
thanks, all

Three Finger Flick not working in Chrome?

I have a Lenovo Y460, which their touchpad supports the 'Three Finger Flick' function (Allows you to scroll through photos, back/forward on webpages (not that useful but still nice)), and I always just thought it didn't work on my computer or I just didnt know how to use it.
As a web browser, I like Google Chrome. But I clicked on IE by accident and felt like trying the flick again. So it works in IE but not in Chrome? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

@dimfisch
I'm not quite sure what double tap is/what you mean, but you can configure little sections of your touchpad to have a different function. If you click on that little ^ arrow on your task bar, and find "Synaptics Pointing Device" (looks like a little touchpad with a green center), go properties, Device Settings, and then settings one once, you'll find that you can add a few extra functions and all in there. Hope this helps!

Trackpad two- and three-finger functions not working

Everything was fine last night, but when I turned on the computer this morning, the trackpad is not working correctly. Cursor movement with one finger feels different than normal (a bit sluggish) and two- and three-finger functions such as scrolling, enlarging, and navigating forward and back do not work. I have tried letting the computer sleep first, rebooting, shutting down and turning back on, and the trackpad firmware update from last November (which it said I did not need to update) and nothing has worked. The trackpad menu in the System Preferences offered nothing as well. I have not updated to Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I had the same problem specially after carrying out the last update 4.3 the battery was draining very fast y. In addition to that the phone freezing initially for few minutes then for almost a day and finally continuously.
I did almost every thing but replacing the handset and non worked.
As a final attempt to fix the problem before I replace the unit and get a new one was to
1. connect the phone to the my computer (Mac)
2. Launch iTunes
3. Restore the phone to factory setting (with the 4.3) upgrade.
Of course I lost every thing my contacts all of my apps and phone settings. But it worked it has been two days now the phone didn't freeze and the battery life is even better than before.
Note:
1. All of my contacts, note, calendar, emails were backed up using my company exchanger
2. Before restoring I listed all of the apps that were installed and I reinstalled them one by one all over again.
Try this solution and I hope it works with you.

Three finger gestures not working on Mountain Lion

Since upgrade to Mountain Lion, gestures have become unreliable. Gestures for Mission Control, switching between full screen app, etc. (which are set with three fingre swipes) work sometimes but won't work most of the time. Anyone else facing the same problem?

I had this problem but I found it was the settings that changed when mountain lion was installed.
Mountain lion changed my three finger gestures to four finger gestures when swiping between full screen apps.
I found there were extra settings. Apparently when installing mountain lion my three finger gestures were changed to four finger gestures.

Three finger lookup no longer opens dictionary

Following my upgrade to Yosemite I no longer can access the dictionary using the 3 finger lookup. Also, when I attempt this, the keyboard then locks up. The trackpad continues to work. To get the keyboard back, I need to shutdown and then restart. I am on a 13 inch Macbook Pro mid 2012.

so here's what i did to get three finger swipe to work as web navigation.
initially i had "Swipe between pages" set for three fingers and "Swipe between full-screen apps" set to four fingers.
i then switched "Swipe between full-screen apps" to three fingers which automatically unchecks the "Swipe between pages" box.
then i checked the "Swipe between pages" box again which set the web navigation to two fingers. i then confirmed that the two finger swipe did actually work as it, along with three finger, was NOT working before.
then i changed the "Swipe between pages" to three fingers which automatically changes the "Swipe between full-screen apps" to four fingers
now everything works as it did before!!!
EDIT: must note though since a lot of the comments on here are about navigating finder, i've never really used three finger gesters to navigate within finder since i almost always use column view with the arrow keys. i did test it though and it still appears that three finger gestures do not work in finder. all in all, there are a lot of areas which could use two, three, or four finger gesters to navigate from page to page in mavericks and even in previous OS X versions, most notably the Mac App Store and the iTunes stores. the solution above does however fix swiping forward and backward within Safari and Chrome.

Two-finger pinch zoom not working with safari

Suddenly, the two-finger pinch to zoom is not working with Safari. MBP 13", SL 10.6.8 andf Safari 5.1. The View Menu Zoom control works fine, and the Pinch gesture works once thereafter, but then not. I have reloaded the Safari .plist. Gesture works with the Desktop icons and iPhoto. Any suggestions?
TIA

Ditto with the Newsstand-blocks-the-Home-Screen bug.
I was eager to see the revised New York Times layout and disappointed when Newsstand wouldn't pinch closed.
The irony is, we can finally "hide" the Newsstand in a folder but now it takes over our Home Screens. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the first update.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

NYT videos not working in Safari 5

Work fine for me - they are just normal Flash videos.
Make sure your Flash Player is up to date.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4. Minimal example code.

Hello,
I've found that cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4, as it worked
ok on Safari 3.0.1, and in other browsers I tried: Firefox, Mozilla, IE.
document.domain property is set to "ds2ps.net", correctly to the best of my knowledge
in the frameset and in both frames. Both frames and frameset are loaded
from subdomains of the same domain "ds2ps.net"
Please have a look at this mimimal example:
http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html
Press buttons to get alert with value of a variable defined in the frameset
and in the first frame.
This gives "undefined" in Safari 3.0.4, and give following message in Safari
JavaScript console:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html from frame with URL http://frame2.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frame2.html. Domains, protocols and ports must match.
Works ok in all other browsers and in earlier versions of Safari.
Apperently, I'm doing something incorrectly.
I would appreciate if Apple Safari developers have a look at this problem and suggest solution.
My company is developing web application which depends on cross-frame scripting,
and we would like to continue supporting Safari browser.
Thank you,
John

Thank you, iBod,
We've submitted this bug at http://bugs.webkit.org
Bug 16444: Cross-frame scripting not working in Safari 3.0.4 despite proper document.domain set in all frames
Thank you for your suggestion!

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.
See comparison photo:

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

Af:panelTabbed not working in safari 4 & 5

Hi,
af:panelTabbed is not working in safari 4 and 5 .
On click of each tab it calls a javascript method.
the javascript method do the functionality of watermark.
The code i use for watermark is
function adf$noValueText$intialize(event) {
var component = event.getSource();
component.visitChildren(adf$noValueText$replaceEmptyWithText, null, false);
function adf$noValueText$onFocus(event) {
adf$noValueText$replaceTextWithEmpty(event.getSource());
function adf$noValueText$onBlur(event) {
adf$noValueText$replaceEmptyWithText(event.getSource());
function adf$noValueText$replaceTextWithEmpty(component) {
var noValueText = component.getProperty("noValueText");
if (typeof noValueText != 'undefined') {
var domNode = document.getElementById(component.getClientId() + "::content");
if (domNode.value == component.getProperty("noValueText")) {
domNode.value = "";
function adf$noValueText$replaceEmptyWithText(component) {
var noValueText = component.getProperty("noValueText");
if (typeof noValueText != 'undefined') {
var domNode = document.getElementById(component.getClientId() + "::content");
if (domNode.value == "") {
domNode.value = component.getProperty("noValueText");
function refresh() {
location.reload();
Can somebody tell me whether this javascript is correct and the reason why af:paneltabbed not working in safari 4 & 5 browser.

Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

Safari version: 5.1.7
OS: Windows 7
Hi,
I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GREAT NEWS!!!!
I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";
right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!
