Update Safari 3.1.1 disables youtube and flash viewing in general

There appears to be a theme emerging on these forums of updating safari 3.1.1 causing youtube and flash video content to not display even after uninstalling Flash and reinstalling.
I have tried to reinstall 10.4.11 combo update as well as Safari 3.1.1 which always fails. I recently had to do an archive and install.... and computer was working beautifully with Safari 3.1 now after update BUG City!!!! Mozilla and Netscape work just fine with flash content. I have deleted plist Safari... repaired permissions etc, etc to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas at all???? This is really annoying Apple.... do you hear me?

Just to let you all know I had to ...unfortunately..... archive and reinstall my OS ..again for the past time in two weeks...to fix the problem. I now have everything working again with Safari except I have yet to update with 3.1.1. (I now have version 3.0.4.) I have re updated to 10.4.11 combo PPC still no problem but I am definitely fixing permissions after each update and checking things more meticulously. I'm not sure if I should update to 3.1.1..a little gun shy now. Anyway, I tried every thing posted to fix the problem and the reality is that Archive and Install was the only fix that really worked. Sorry!!! The update with 3.1.1 originally looking at the reports must have corrupted the Webkit and core systems in OSX. Any feedback I hope this helps all of you with the same problems with Safari. Let me know. Thanks for listening to me VENT!!!!

I tried to update Safari for OS 10.7.5 and it no longer works. What should I do to revive it?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

I just updated Safari with version 5.1.10 and now I cannot use "open location". Anyone else having this problem and are there any solutions?

Ok ...
Try troubleshooting extensions and third party plugins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

10.7.4 update causes YouTube and Flash video Errors?

Since updating to 10.7.4 yesterday, I've noticed that YouTube and other online Flash videos stutter, stop and continue playing, or pause frequently. Has anyone else noticed this bug? I'm using the newest version of Chrome but tried Safari as well and noticed the same kind of bug. If anyone has a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

File a bug report with Apple.

Error message after update "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be

My daughter just did an update and got the following error message: "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.
Any thoughts or tips as to what happened?

Just a few pieces of clarifying information... This is Safari on OS X you're talking about, right? Also, what update did your daughter install? Have you tried reinstalling Safari (you can download it from Apple's site)?

Updating Safari to keep pace with AOL and IE?

Hello:
I have noticed that AOL and MS have just made updates--OpenRIde and IE--which do not appear to support Mac users. Also, Firefox is in the process of being updated, but don't know if it fully supports Macs.
In view of these developments, does anyone know if AOL, MS, et al. are planning to continue to support Macs on a current basis with their new developments, AND, is APPLE considering, or in the process of, updating Safari to match or exceed these other upgrades?
Thanks!
Jim A

You're welcome.
Apple's approach to Safari has been to make new features available only in the latest OS, that is not available to older versions. Reasons are probably economic, as well as pragmatic (would require changes to the operating system necessary to accommodate changes to Safari's engine.)
If you want to make your opinion known, you can send feedback to Apple here.
Please mark this post "solved". Helpful for others looking for a solved solution to a similar question, also helpful for me.

I cannot update Safari. I am running Lion and am stuck on Safari 4.0.4 Running Update Software is useless as it ignores my old Safari software. How do I update Safari manually?

I cannot update Safari! My iMac is running Lion. I try using Software Update but it tells me everything is okay. My current version of Safari is 4.0.4 Very out of date. My problem seems to be only with Safari. Can anyone tell me how to manually update Safari?

Is your Safari app located (free-standing) in your Applications folder?

whats the format on the external HD?
verify same on another Mac, its likely a dead SATA card inside the external enclosure.
One assumes you arent referring to a 2012 Air with a Toshiba SSD, since the Air contains no hard drives, only a SSD.
2013 Air use Sandisk or Samsung SSD.

Since updating to 10.6, Powerbook disables iphone and won't sync

Just as I wrote in the headline, since updating my OS, when I plug in my iphone to sync music purchases and playlists, I get the error;
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power, one or more of your USB devices have been disables."
Here's the rub, the only device connected was the iphone. The laptop was even plugged in at the time. Restarting both devices didn't yield a different result.
Little help?

Just to add to the mystery, I plugged the iphone into my old G5 running 10.5.8 and got the same message. Does this mean my iphone is malfuntioning? It's an older G3 iphone...maybe it's gone senile. My last successful sync/update was about two weeks ago.

Siri not hearing me - software updated tried powering down, tried disabling siri and enabling - nothing working- volume is on - not muted

siri does not respond to my voice
microphone appears but does not hear - line across bottom remains still
volume is on, software is up to date, tried powering on and off, tried disabling and enabling Siri several times
further suggestions?
thanks

couple of things to try -
settings, general, restrictioons. siri turned off?
if you have a set of i phone earplugs (that also have a mike), does she hear that? (or any other plug in mike?)
but first - do a full reboot. press and hold both the home and sleep buttons until you see the apple logo. ignore the red slider.
Do any other apps that need the mike work? like facetime or sound recorder?

Youtube and Flash player issues ???

i have currently been presented with the issue of youtube not working on certain types of machines, on our dell optiplex 755 machines, youtube will not work properly, i have narrowed the problem down to Adobe flash. everytime i tried to play a youtube video it would usually just give me a black screen with an error message, after i tried a couple solutions i thought i had fixed it, i can now play some youtube videos and not all, for example i can play 5 in a row and after that, not many videos will work.
the machines are running windows 7, have adobe 11.9, Internet Explorer 9 and the graphics drivers have been updated.
does anyone have any solutions??

jkeano18, you say you use Windows 7. do you have Windows 7 SP1 (service pack 1) installed? if not, you need to install SP1 for Windows 7.
since you use a Dell Optiplex 755 machine, what kind of CPU does it have and how much RAM is installed? you can get this info by opening the System properties page of Windows 7. you may need to install a faster CPU chip, add more RAM or do both. Specs on the Optiplex 755 PC are posted on this Dell site.
as for graphics, what kind? Intel or AMD? some Optiplex 755 computers come with Intel graphics and other Optiplex 755 machines come with AMD graphics. Run the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) and click on the Display tab to get the graphics info.
If the graphics is Intel, I recommend the latest Intel graphics drivers from Intel site rather from the Dell site. If the graphics is AMD, download the latest AMD drivers from the AMD site.

Youtube and flash games work, but other sites that use flash don't work

Hi-
I'm currently using Firefox 18.0.2 on 2 different computers (Both Win7 64 bit), both with flash 11.6.602.168. Both have roughly the same programs installed and the same browser configuration. However, on one machine, flash works only on some sites. For instance, Youtube works perfectly, as do dedicated flash games. However, sites that use embedded flash applications fail to work. For instance, if I visit www.speedtest.net, where the test options normally appear is completely blank. Similarly, other video players fail. For example, videos in www.cbsnews.com play sound, but where the video should be is just white. I've tried completely uninstalling both firefox as well as flash, and installing previous versions, nothing has worked.

I guess it is a process of elimination, what is different ?
I would first of all check and experiment with Adobe FlashPlayer protected mode setting.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
Also have you any filtering, adblock or security related programs installed which may block video or scripts. With you-tube check is it actually using Flash player,and not trying to use any HTML5 options so check any options and cookies.

[SOLVED]youtube and flash issue

So, I've got a flash issue that only happens on youtube. It looks like this:
It happens every time I open a browser (on both firefox and chrome) and goes away after refreshing the page, but its kinda annoying to refresh the page every time I wanna watch a video. Also when switching to fullscreen the video stays in software video rendering when it should switch to accelerated rendering so I get around 10 fps making the video unwatchable (this doesnt happen with windows on the same hardware).
Other flash websites like vimeo work fine and I can watch vimeo HD videos in fullscreen without any issue.
This started happening when youtube introduced the new black look of their player (it was all fine and dandy before), and its bothering me ever since so I'm now using flashvideoreplacer extension for firefox but I still want flash to work properly so I can use chrome again.
I'm using 64-bit arch, flashplugin from extra (getting the same effect with any other flashplugin from AUR) and EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode is set to 1 in /etc/adobe/mms.conf
Oh and I've tried this on Ubuntu live cd and controls work fine but accelerated video still doesnt work.
Any help would be appreciated.
SOLVED:Graphic problem is resolved after installing new version of flashplugin, but still no HW acceleration.
