Trackpad gestures in Safari for Windows

Basically I'm one of those mac users who still has just 1 windows pc left and it's become a bit mac already. I'm running windows 7 and primarily use it for software that doesn't run on a mac, or games that myself and my nephew play from time to time.
I bought a magic trackpad that I also use with my macbook air, and decided to tinker with it on my PC. I was able to extract the bootcamp drivers from the apple patch and I'm currenctly using it on my windows pc just fine. But it only works for basic gestures, I can use it as a standard mouse trackpad, or I can use 2 finger scrolling in safari or other applications. But other gestures do not work, if I try to use a 3 finger swipe like I do on my macbook to go backwards or forwards, my magic trackpad just locks up and I have to unplug my bluetooth adapter and plug it back in for it to work.
When paired with my macbook air, I am able to use all those gestures that normally work for scrolling, page forward/back, etc. But on the PC, only the simple mouse pointer and 2 finger scrolling work. Does anyone know if the other gestures on magic trackpad (or even the integrated trackpad) work properly via bootcamp on Windows 7? I never mess with bootcamp, so I can't tell if this is a limitation with the device and apple's drivers, or just something that I have done wrong and need to tweak.
So basically, can you use gestures with an integrated trackpad or magic trackpad when using windows or not? Has anyone at lease been able to successfully get the basic forward/back swipe to work on windows 7 with the magic trackpad?

The pinch-to-zoom gesture has not worked since I updated to Lion. Occasionally when I attempt to use this feature in Safari the webpage becomes pixelated and all I can do is or open a new tab or window. It happened a lot more frequently when I first updated which was frustrating, but it has stopped happening as often and is more of a random annoyance. Even so, I used the pinch to zoom in/out gesture a lot with my 13" MBP now it's really just a hassle to do most anything online. The ⌘ -/+ is functional, however not optimal. Really frustrated, I was hoping that there was a solution..

Very poor implementation of XMLHttpRequest streaming with Safari for Window

I hope this post reaches Apple engineers. This is critical for us to resolve this. I am a member of the developer network, so if using incident support is necessary, it can be used. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I have implemented a test to compare XMLHttpRequest streaming performance for different browsers. Safari for Windows 5.0.3 had the worst results compared to Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, I think this problem was introduced after Safari 3. The test consists of a server pushing messages of about 350 bytes to the browser at a rate of about 300/s. Once server pushes 10,000 messages, it closes the connection and browser opens new one repeating the cycle. There were several problems associated with Safari: 1) Safari could not process much more then 300 messages/s, that is quite low. Chrome had no problem processing 1,000. If, for example, 500 m/s was used, Safari would quickly allocate hundreds of meg of memory and crash. 2) Safari starts with about 64MEG of memory allocated. Once the test page is opened, memory quickly climes to 150MEG and as test progresses to >400MEG. Once the connection closes, it drops to 150MEG again. Chrome's memory did not fluctuate at all staying at 32MEG for the same test. 3) CPU was steadily claiming as test progressed and then dropped as connection was reset, creating CPU spikes. It reached about 50% CPU before connection was closed. Chrome's CPU stayed at about 2% all the time. This is the code: Server. Should be run with the latest Java Tomcat 7. Configure Tomcat to use Http11NioProtocol: package test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometEvent; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometProcessor; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class WebFrameworkServletXHRReconnects extends HttpServlet implements CometProcessor { @Override public void event(CometEvent event) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = event.getHttpServletRequest(); HttpServletResponse response = event.getHttpServletResponse(); if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.BEGIN) { System.out.println("Begin for session: " + request.getSession(true).getId() + " " + response.getWriter()); response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache,no-store"); response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,max-stale=0"); event.setTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss: "); for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { out.print("{\"messageType\":8448,\"requestId\":"0",\"eventType\":1,\"symbolId\" :[\"BAC.EA\",0],\"fields\":[{\"header\":"0",\"type\":6,\"data\":[3993,2]},{\"hea der\":"55",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1185,2]},{\"header\":54,\"type\":6,\"data\":[321 8,2]},{\"header\":"5",\"type\":6,\"data\":[6617,2]},{\"header\":52,\"type\":4,\" data\":[15]},{\"header\":"12",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1700,2]}]}"); out.flush(); if (i % 10 == 0) { try { //Thread.sleep(60); Thread.sleep(30); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } if (i % 100 == 0) { System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()) + i); } } out.close(); event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.ERROR) { event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.END) { event.close(); } } } client: <script type="text/javascript" src="log4js.js">

Hi ..
Apple has dropped support for Safari for Windows.
Use IE or Chrome Browser

Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.

Safari for Windows 7 - Where can I get a safe download?

I want to download Safari for my Windows 7 PC. I cannot find 5.1.7 on the Apple website. Is that the one that I should be looking for? If so, where can I get a download of it that won't include a bunch of garbage.
Or, if there is a version that I can download from Apple, which version should I choose?
A hyperlink would be greatly appreciated.

Safari for Windows was discontinued a couple years ago. By now it's outdated, not standards compliant, etc.. There's no reason why you should use it.

Can't open pdf files in Safari for Windows

Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes. I've read that the solution is to install Adobe Reader 8, but I can't because I already have Adobe Acrobat which doesn't seem to work with safari. Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

How do you change the language of the dictionary on Safari from English (US) to (UK)? I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and the latest version of Safari for Windows that I know of. Cheers in advance

i am stuck with the need to have a pc due to a proprietary business software... I am a mac user and prefer to use safari... i just had to by a new pc and tried to download safari for windows 8.1 but cannot find it... any help out there?

Apple hasn't supported Safari for Windows in quite a while (and even when they did, you wouldn't want it - total crap). IE 11 actually isn't bad, you can also try Chrome.

How do I view pdfs in Safari for Windows?

Have to use Windows 7 at work. Fortunately, I can at least use Safari as my browser. Unfortunately, I can't view pdfs in Safari for Windows but I can with FireFox and IE. Any way to resolve?

What happens when you try to view a pdf file on Safari? In my experience Safari has never worked well in Windows. Use a browser you know works.
Did you check for a PDF reader plugin for Safari?

Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Saving web pages in Safari for Windows

Is it possible to save the whole web page (not just text, but also images etc) with safari?
When I go to File>Save as, it saves only text as htm file and doesn't create any folder with images, if you reset Safari or try to open this file with any other browser offline, you will see no images on the page.

Unfortunately this is not supported yet in Safari for Windows.
