Using safari as web browser in a classic application

I have version 5 of adobe go live and I use it in classic mode in osx.4.8. In order to create my web site I need to specify safari as the web browser, can this be done?

Hi katharineimac;
I tend to agree with Tom that you are going to have difficulties using Safari from a "Classic" application like Adobe Go Live. Have you attempted to save your web page to disk and then attempt to open it from Safari?
I think by using such and old outdated application you are leaving yourself open to more problems then just the inability to open with Safari. As Tom says there are vastly improved applications available on OS X today that can be used to replace what you are currently using.

  • Safari Private Web Browsing

    Hello, I'm running OSX Server 10.4.9 (Dual G5 2.3Ghz), we have Open Directory server. All clients are also running 10.4.9.
    Everyday I have to keep running a terminal command to delete all safari cache and it's getting boring lol.
    How can I force WGM prefs to set Safari private web browsing so these cache files do not even get created in the first place???
    Any help with be excellent.
    Thanks

    I haven't done what you're proposing, but you could create a cron job to delete the caches using the command you already have. That would probably be the least amount of trouble.

  • I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 3 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • I have an audio problem when ever I use my Firefox web browser that makes a sharp audible sound simiular to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page?

    I have an audio problem that when ever I use my Firefox web browser it makes a sharp audible sound similar to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page? I change to a new site or page a page on a site, I get an audible gunshot ping trpe sound? It happens almost every time. Its very annoying and is driving me nuts???
    Any body out there had this happen also or know how to diagnose and fix this type of problem? I would hate to have to delete my whole Firefox program and have to start over again. If that is the case I will probably just scrap it and go on to try Google Chrome instead. I already have GC partially set up. I really have liked Firefox up to this point. I know add ons can cause problems at times but I haven't added anything new lately and this just started happening?

    Applications :: Unable To Use Safari / Google Safe Browsing Service Unavailable

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.

  • Launch a default web browser from my java application

    Hello,
    I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
    Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
    Thanks in advance.
    -BusyBusyBee

    If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
    getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
    But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

    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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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(s)?
    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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest 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.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • G5 Crashes when using iTunes and web browser

    On a fairly consistent basis, my G5 will lock up if I'm listening to music in iTunes while using my web browser. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari or FireFox, and it doesn't matter what music I'm listening to.
    It also sometimes happens if I'm using Dreamweaver.
    The music just stops playing and it sounds as if iTunes is stuck on a song, kind of like our old LPs used to do when the needle got stuck. The only solution is a hard reboot.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple is testing iOS 6.0.1 to fix these issues&stability improvements. I have iPod touch 4th gen too, and it is pretty bad for me too. The best way to get Apps&Games on your iPod touch is to sync it with your computer using iTunes v. 10.7. Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • OWA using Safari or other browser on mac with Cable Moden

    Hello. I have a powerbook g4 with 10.4.3. My office (which uses PC) has moved to Outlook Web Access for accessing office email remotely. I cannot get ANY browser to work with OWA on my Mac. I can usually log in, but OWA kicks me off within minutes (if not less), and brings me back to the log-in screen, even if I am actively suing OWA to type an email. I have tried Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE for Mac. My IT department thinks the problem is with cable modems. They have tested OWA on a Mac with DSL access, and have no problems. They think it may be some kind of setting to "connect on demand" as opposed to "always on". Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
    Holly

    Trevor,
    Thank you for your post. I will confirm for sure, but I think they are using exchange 2003. Mac users that are using Safari with OWA with a DSL connection (as opposed to cable modem) are not having any problems - they report that OWA works well with safari. So I think it is some combination of the non-IE browswer WITH cable modem that is causing the problem.

  • How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

    Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
    I'll try this once more.
    1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
    2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
    I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

    Thanks so much!
    Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
    The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
    I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!
