Vids won't run with Safari, but work with FireFox just fine

I can't get vids to run with Safari. Where the vid is supposed to be, on YouTube etc, it's just blank. They run fine with FireFox, though. I don't mind using FireFox, its a great browser. I just don't like the idea of something being wrong with my MacBook.

Make sure your plug-ins are enabled in Safari (preferences) and that you're not using Rosetta mode (Get Info window).

Uninstall Flash and reinstall the software.

Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
Any suggestions?

If that's checked, see: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Google won't work in Safari but works in FireFox?!

For the past couple of days, after doing a few searches in the Google search bar, it suddenly stops working and I get the following error message instead of Google:
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.google.com”.
If I type in www.google.com in the address bar, I get the same thing.
I'm able to search Google in Firefox and visit the site no problem.
This is VERY strange. Any idea what it could be? I reset Safair (emptied cache, cookies, etc) and doesn't fix it.

Can you take your Mac somewhere else (next door neighbour using a different ISP, or to work or something) and use the internet connection there, and do you get a different/better result there?
It sounds like you've checked all the "obvious things", and are still getting sites not found or really slow to resolve (that is when the blue progress bar in Safari stops about where the first w in www in the address bar is before the page starts to appear).
If so, something you could try fairly quickly and which has brought relief to rather a lot of people with similar-sounding issues, is you could try changing the DNS server settings on your Mac to use a different provider. NB: I'm not sure what it is that makes the difference, but something seems to have been changed in OS X which makes the Mac work badly with some ISP's DNS services, even when a PC (or a Mac running an older OS X version) is still working just fine on the same network and using the same DNS. I use the DNS servers from www.opendns.com, which are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, but people have had good success with other providers too, I just can't remember the names or addresses offhand. Try specifying those in the network configuration on your Mac itself, or on your router if you want to change it for all machines on your network, and see if it suddenly fixes those issues for you.

Links within a pdf won't open in Safari, but work fine on Explorer, Firefox

I created a pdf with embedded links and posted it to my site. The links within the pdf work just fine with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, but they will not open with Safari, neither on a Mac nor on a Windows platform.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try this. In the Safari window, click the Preferences icon right side of page.
Then select the General tab.
At the bottom of that window, below, "Open links from applications", choose the option you want.

[MAC OS 10.5.x, Intel] Flash 10 doesnt work on safari, but works on firefox

My mac:
10.5.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4GB 1067 MHx DDR3
Safari Version: 5.05
Firefox Version: 3.5.3
I was suddenly not being able to watch videos on youtube because of youtube's new update that requires one person like myself to update. So, I follow the instructions and uninstalled flash player then then installed the newest version of flash onto my macintosh. I booted up Safari, and went to youtube, still said i needed flash player 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player at least 10 times. I even tried reinstalling safari, still nothing. I tried using it on firefox and it works!
Ways i have tried to fix this:
1. Check if plug-ins were enabled on Safari security prefrences, it was already checked.
2. Tried "un-checking" run with rosetta, couldn't even check it, was already unchecked
Please help,
Thanks, Surf

For more (not good) news on this video card & Mac model combination, see http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/9600mac_pcedition.html.
I suspect that any video card that shipped as an OEM product with any Mac model that meets the Leopard system requirements (& is supported by the Quicksilver) will work. This is because the Leopard DVD will have the necessary video driver extensions for those cards, but not necessarily ones that support other cards. Searching through my /System/Library/Extensions folder indicates that the following types of OEM ATI Radeon cards should be supported, but there are no guarantees:
ATI Radeon 8500
ATI Radeon 9700
ATI Radeon X1000
ATI Radeon X2000
There are also a number of driver names associated with various nVidia GeForce cards, the other supplier of OEM video cards for Apple.
The "Catch 22" about this is that if there was a Leopard compatible driver extension for the 9600 available (which there does not seem to be), you could install one of the above cards, do the upgrade to Leopard, & add it to /System/Library/Extensions folder of your startup drive afterwards. Then, the Mac could boot from that startup disk with just that card installed ... but the Leopard DVD disk still wouldn't work for repairs that require booting from it.

Youtube won't run with firefox or Facebook

When wanting to run video from youtube on both firefox and facebook from my Android phone I get a message telling me I need an account with youtube and a channel. I have an account with youtube and it won't let me sign in when attempting to.
Have tried using Google browser on phone and am able to run youtube content and video with no problem.
Any ideas???

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Still having problems with flash . It still won't run in IE8 but does in firefox.

please see my other thread. It says it is answered so had to start a new thread.

shockwave flash object 10.1.85.3 is loaded now. shockwave activex control 11.5.9.615 is enabled but not loaded. It appears in "all add-ons".
in the folder flash: -   Folder - flashplayertrust
                               Files -     flash10k.ocx
                                             flashinstall.log
                                             flashplayer.xpt
                                             FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
                                             FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.exe

                                             subinacl.exe.manifest
In Firefox both shockwave flash add-ons are shown.
                         and loads of others. Can't see IE8 add-in though.
I have AVG virus software.
It seems that many people have this problem, so is Adobe doing something about it?
Thanks

IWeb audio won't play in Safari, but will in firefox

I made a website in iWeb '09 but when i visit the site in safari 4 a quicktime logo shows up where the audio (song) should be and doesn't play. But in firefox it works fine, anyone know what's up?

I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it. Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro. I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer. I then imported them into Premiere CS6. The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound. The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player. I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail. Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed. When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have. Being a newbie, I just went with that. But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice. It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project. Then the audio worked!
One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware. I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

HMRC software won't run with Firefox - is there an easy to switch back to Int Explorer and then revert to Firefox after completing task?

Free HMRC software will not run properly as it creates tabs using the browser. HMRC technical support have confirmed I must switch back to Internet Explorer to complete the required tasks, otherwise the software will not work properly.
Is there a quick way to change default web browser without having to uninstall Firefox each time?

You can use an extension like IE Tab or IE View to use the IE rendering engine in Firefox.
* IE Tab Plus (FF 3.6+): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/10909/
* IE View: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/35

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
(a) Hotmail directly
(b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
(c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
(d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

MOVED: Won't run with 2 CPUs

This topic has been moved to Server/workstation.
Won't run with 2 CPUs

Okay. Power supply info. Had to break my system down because the side that had the info on it was covered by the top of the tower.
Enhance Electronics
Model: ATX-1140F with Outlet
400 Watt Power Supply
+3.3v(28A), +5V(38A), +12V(18A), -12V(.8A), -5V(.5A), +5VSB(2A)
The 4 pin connector is plugged in. =) I did not overlook that.
As for trying it with fewer memory sticks, no I have not tried that but keep in mind that earlier today the previous mobo was in this machine and running with both CPUs and all 3 memory sticks (512, 512, 1024). All in the same memory slots as the original mobo. I pulled each one and inserted it in the new mobo before taking out the next one to be sure I put them back in the same slot.
I checked and double checked all the bios settings and they match. The only thing that has changed since this morning is the replacement mobo and that is the exact same model as the one I replaced. System works fine with 1 CPU but not with 2. What might cause that on this motherboard but not the original one?

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

My iPhone 4 won't connect to our WiFi at home, but will at other WiFi spots. However, my parent's iPhones work and connect just fine at home using WiFi. I have called and talked to several people and no one seems to be able to help me.

The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
If that doesn't work then
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
If that doesn't work
Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
I hope one of these will help.
