Uninstalling bad plug-ins for Safari

Hey Ho Boys and Girls,
Every 5 mnutes my safari crashed and says its because of a plug in caled gamehouserestaurantrush plug in. I would like to get rid of this. I've been to preferences and gone to extensions but its completely blank.
Any advice?
thanks

Hi ...
Could be the flashback trojan.. if it is, it's not difficult to remove.
Install this update >  Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8
That should remove variants of the trojan. Restart your Mac after the update is installed, try Safari.
If it still crashes, run this removal tool >  Flashback Removal Tool - F-Secure Weblog : News from the Lab
If that didn't help at all, check out these folders >   ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins  and  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
If you see that plugin, move it to the Trash.
When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. The more details you provide, the easier to help you

  • Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.

    So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
    I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
    The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
    After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.

    There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
    To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
    Make sure:  Mac App Store and identified developers  is selected.
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • Missing Plug-ins for Safari?

    OK this is exhausting!
    After downloading Adobe Reader I'm unable to open PDF's as it claims Plug-ins are missing?
    Where do I find them, how is this resolved and is there an alternative to adobe?
    why is there no customer service phone number??
    Please help

    There are no plug-ins for iOS Safari. Are you actually using a Mac?
    You want a phone number for support on FREE software? That's optimistic.

  • Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

    Hi all,
    I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
    If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    The issue is that it's how you have it setup  for PDF files.
    Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
    All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

  • Missing Plug-ins for Safari 4.0.3

    I am receiving error messages from certain websites that state that the content contains MIME-type applications and suggests downloading an application such as Adobe Flash player, etc. I have tried to download Adobe Flash player several times but it is not showing up as an installed plug-in when I go to the help menu and click on "installed plug-ins". The subsequent window shows that no plug-ins are installed at all. I also have a Mac-Mini and Macbook that I have used to cross reference with and they have several plug-ins listed when I look at "installed plug-ins". I have already reinstalled Safari to no avail. Any suggestions as to why they might be missing on my iMac or any suggestions on how to restore them (Adobe, Shockwave, etc).

    Greetings,
    Are you running Mac OS X 10.5.8 as your profile states? If not, update your profile so it's accurate. There is no reason you should be deleting or reinstalling Safari; that is not the problem. You already have Flash installed, so there is no reason to install it again, unless you were upgrading the version, which would then require you to uninstall it first.
    Have you tried re-setting Safari, as well as using Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions and then restarting Safari to see if the problem continues? Have you tried creating a new User account and testing for this problem there? If not, do that, too.

  • Plug-ins for Safari?

    Hello
    I have a 'test' site here: www.proofreading4students.com/projects.asp
    Please ignore the untidy layout - I am only concerned about loading the video correctly at this stage.
    There is a video on the page (though it takes a while to download - not sure if that is because of the size of the video file or how to compress it, but any ideas are welcome).
    I can see the video in IE and Chrome, but in Safari I get a 'Missing Plug-in' message in the video 'container'. This is the code that loads the video:
    <div class="content_image">
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Goldfish.swf" width="300" height="240">
    </object>
    </div>
    What plug-ins do I require, please?
    Thanks!

    If you were running a Mac the following would have been my answer, but like i said I am ignorant about similar voo-doo on Windows!
    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
    You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
    If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:

  • Plug-Ins for Safari and Firefox

    I'm a new MAC owner (as of last week as a matter of fact) so bear with me.......
    I had to download Firefox since I got the message that Safari didn't support the new Yahoo Mail Beta.
    Then I decided to check out my MACBook Pro's video capabilities by going to the CBS web page to watch The Unit (go to http://www.cbs.com/ and click 'Full Episodes'.....)
    I got the following error:
    The page “CBS.com - Innertube” has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    Can anyone help me find the appropriate plug-in? What additional plug-ins should I install while I'm at it (Active-X, Java, etc.)?
    BTW, I get an error with Firefox as well telling me that additional plug-ins are required, but the automatic (Firefox) search tells me that no suitable plug-ins were found.
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Wow, I had no idea it would be that simple.
    Normally with my PC, if an update was needed the error message would instruct to download the newest version of Flash, Real, etc.
    I figured with the cryptic error message I got from Firefox and Safari that I needed some 'plug-in.'
    Thanks! Problem solved......

  • Plug ins for Safari / Mac??

    We have invested in one of these Macbook Pro thingies and since surfing the net i have noticed that there are a lot of times that i cannot view video on certain web pages. It says i need plugins. Where can i get all of theses plugins required for viewing net video. My Mac skills are limited as we have only just switched. Many thanks in advance. I have installed Firefox and use it quite often so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Stuart

    Hi Stuart!
    The questions are no problem...glad to help!
    Ok 2 things...you are not going to be able to use Windows Media Player...you must use Flip4Mac. Microsoft decided to not develop it anymore and they are even promoting Flip4Mac now (that's why I gave you the link to their site...sorry if it was confusing). And they stopped the development before Macs went Intel...that's why you can't run it. Only pre-Intel Macs can run the actual Windows Media Player. So first download the Flip4Mac and that will do it for you.
    Now about the .sitx this is an extension for Stuffit compressed files. On pc your are used to seeing .zip files often. Mac too has .zip and you don't need anything to unzip it...Mac OS X can unzip automatically. But on Mac .dmg (disk images) are more common. You will notice them if you haven't already as most software is distributed in disk images. Stuffit (.sitx) is kinda outdated but you still might see it sometimes. (Remember Windows Media is kinda outdated too that's why it's still using .sitx.) You can download Stuffit for free for those times you might need it. No rush since you won't be using that Windows Media Player anyways. Here's the link:
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html
    You won't be able to view that content until you get Flip4Mac installed. Now there are some videos out there that might not play on Safari...but first let's get the right tools installed then go from there.
    And about the Firefox downloads yes that's strange. Firefox should perform comparably to Safari. That difference is huge! I don't believe there's anything special to setup prior on Firefox so I'm not sure at the moment what that might be?

  • Downloading Plug-Ins for Safari?

    I tried to watch this trailer and it said that becauseI don't the plug in that MIME type, I can't watch it. So, is there somewhere or somehow that I can download it? Thanks

    Hi
    If it's the Xbox site, it's likely Windows Media format. Install the Flip4Mac components for Quicktime, and restart your browser - that should do it.

    I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

    Keep getting "blocked plug-ins for Adobe Flash despite installing new version

    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://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

    While I personally still don't have any need for Translucator
    (I must
    admit the name made me laugh badly) so I didn't test it, I
    think
    Background Remover is quite capable. I was unable to achive
    good results
    using it only on a couple of test images out of quite a large
    set, but I
    must admit I wasn't able to do any better with hand masking
    using brush,
    so I can't blame the plugin. Taking into account very basic
    bitmap masking
    capabilities of FW, I think it's a great addon, and
    considering the price
    for most competitors, it's clearly the best.
    That's the end of our scientists report ;-)

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.
