Viewing Russian and Greek in Safari

Dear Common Wisdom:
Why can't I view some Russian and Greek texts in Safari?
Here is an example:

That should happen automatically in most cases, although it depends on how the web server is set up.

Unable to view google and facebook in safari

Unable to view google and facebook in safari on ios 7.0.3 on my ipad mini. The page is trying to reload repeatedly and chrome browser is written on the tab where google/Facebook should be.

I am not sure of the reasons but that is the normal
appearance in Safari, at least it is what I have seen. I think the
issue is how Safari handles things rather than what RoboHelp
produces.
In looking at other help products before going for RoboHelp,
did you download some trial versions of other products and have you
checked their output in Safari?
Maybe someone with more knowledge of Safari can comment?
For what it may be worth, only 1.3% of the visitors to my
site use Safari so that wouldn't upset me too much. Of course the
percentage may be different and more important for you. I suspect
Safari users are used to such things.
Right or wrong, IE and Firefox are the biggies.

Viewing pdf and jpg in safari

I've been trying to figure out how to view PDF's and JPGs directly in safari rather than having them download and then need to open them. Suggestions?

Russian and English combined Index Group Title and sort order

How should I create the combined index Group Title and sort order in Russian and Greek documentations?

The final product one Russian manual which contains some English Index marker ...
And what is the problem?
You can control the sorting by placing a [...] tag in the Marker Text, such as:
[Сплайн] Spline
The term(s) in the brackets are used only for sort. What appears in the Index is the following text.
Or you can just edit the Marker Text.
But it sounds like there might be more than one question here, re: Group Titles.

worked for me - but don't know what it does or why :)

Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every time.

Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every day. Help?

Hi Gary...
I see you are running v10.4.11 and you have updated Safari but make certain all the system software is up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
If everything is up to date, try resetting Safari from the menu bar.
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try several of the sites you mentioned.
has started quitting
If resetting didn't help, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

safari is redirecting me
Dee....
It's not a virus.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

How to view aspx PDF files in Safari 4.0.3

Hi,
Using Safari 4.0.3 on os 10.5.8. I'm trying to view PDF files that are supposed to be viewed and editable within the browser (this is how the site works on a pc using internet explorer). When I click the relevant icon on the site, the site asks me if I'm sure I want to view that file (this is normal), and I click accept. Then Safari simply downloads the aspx file into the downloads folder. To the extent I could open the aspx manually using Reader (I can't), it wouldn't help anyway because the file is meant to be edited within a web browser, and within the pdf there are options to "save," "save and close," etc. I need to be able to open and view this file from within Safari.
I have the latest Adobe reader and made sure the settings allowed for opening of PDFs from the internet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I concur with Kirk Olson1's comment above, and have been unable to solve this 'til reading this post.
Change the .aspx extension of a saved file to .pdf and presto, Preview opens the doc for reading without complaint. This may not solve the problem the user has with editing the file within their browser. But the .aspx file, without a doubt, is in fact a file of "some" sort that is readable by Preview. As to the properties of editing the file, I can't speak to that. Since I am using this to read and save my bank statement, I would hope that the ASPX file is a signed document that can't be edited without the change being detectable... otherwise, what purpose is served by introducing a new filename extension ASPX for PDF files???
I've had the same "Browser can't view/open ASPX file" problem under Mac OS 10.5.* and Safari and Firefox. A bank provides me with "PDF" files (so they say) that download (to view, or file-save-as) with the .aspx filename extension. Firefox 3.5.* doesn't handle them. I've not downloaded Adobe products to my Mac and have avoided doing so because I don't want Adobe mucking with the way Preview works, etc.
In an experiment, I am unable to coerce Preview to open a copy of the same file while it had the .aspx extension (via Ctrl-Click the aspx file, Open_With, Enable All Applications to Open). Preview just sits there without opening the file, no error dialog, and I don't see any telltale warnings in the console log either. The same file, with a filename extension changed, no problem opening and viewing.

I have an imac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4. I would like to update this. I have 1 Gb memory. Do I need more memory to update my computer? I would also like to add an airport system and something where I could read word applications.

I have an iMac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4 I would like to update. I have only original 1 GB memory-do I need more to update?I would also like to add an airport or router and would like to add something where I could open word applications. Is it hopeless?

Thanks. That's a Mid-2007 model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. You can run any version of Mac OS X on it up to and including Mac OS X Lion, though for Lion you'd need to increase the memory to at least 2GB, something I'd recommend doing anyway; it's inexpensive and often can increase performance. Your iMac can take up to 6GB if RAM; 4GB is probably a good compromise between cost and performance with a 4GB kit costing about $50.00 US from a reliable vendor such as Crucial.
Your system already should have included the Airport wireless networking capability, so all you'd need would be a wireless (WiFi) access point (aka "router" or "base station") and an appropriate Internet connection. Apple's Airport Express and Airport Extreme, and the Time Capsule if you'd like to have a built-in hard drive for backups and extra storage, are good choices for a WiFi access point, but there are a number of other manufacturers.
As to upgrading the operating system, as I said, you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, or Mac OSX 10.7 Lion (the most recent release). Apple no longer lists Mac OS X 10.5 on their web site, but if you call the Apple Store you may still be able to purchase a copy. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is easily available as is Lion though with Lion you'd need the $69.00 USB flash drive installer or you'd need to purchase and install Snow Leopard first (other than on the flash drive, Lion is only available from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Mac OS X 10.6.6. or later). Before you decide, I'd strongly suggest you find out what versions of Mac OS X your applications and perpherals will support, either as they or with a free or affordable update. I'd suspect most of your applications and peripheral drivers would need to be upgraded, at least to support Snow Leopard or Lion. If you consider Lion, make sure of your applications; Lion will no longer run PowerPC-only applications, so many older appliations will not run under Lion.
Finally, as to Microsoft Word documents which is what I presume you mean, you can of course just purchase Microsoft Office. There are other ways to work with Word documents, though. If you just need to view Word documents, TextEdit in MOSX 10.6 and 10.7 (and perhaps 10.5; I can't remember) can open and view many Word Documents. For something a bit more capable, you can purchase Apple's Pages, part of the iWork suite and now available separately for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, or try one of the open-source solutions such as LibreOffice.
Regards.

Image size and dimensions in Safari

Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Pat,
You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.
Regards,
Calx

Viewing Webpages with Flash in Safari 3

The webpage loads, leaving wherever the flash may be blank... I am not recieving a missing plug in message or any other kind of message... For instance if you go to www.aldoshoes.com I can see everything around where the flash should be; and if you go to www.diesel.com nothing at all loads..
But when i bring up internet explorer pages come up fine...
I downloaded all the needed plug in's that are on the main download page for Safari 3 and am still having problems..
I really am considering switching to a MAC and so far i absolutely love Safari.. Much better than Internet Explorer.. Just cant view any flash at all...

Flash 9 works well in IE7, Firefox, and Netscape, but Safari doesn't notice I have any flash version. It's a flaw in the beta, not a lack of a plug-in on the user's machine. I've installed the plug-in offered by Adobe, which is the same one linked to by Apple. Regardless, in Safari, any page module that relies on Flash appears blank or, at most, with a notice that I need Flash to view it.

Viewing mac's webmail in safari - scroll bar issues

i've noticed that the apple site and .mac have had a makeover in the last few days.
it's a nice upgrade, but i'm having problems viewing my .mac webmail with safari;
i have webmail set up with 3 panes; left hs are folders, top is messages and bottom is preview. however now the scrollbars do not allow me to scroll to the end of the message preview. instead, when the scroll bar is at the bottom of the window i have only scrolled through part of the message!
does anyone know if this is a mail or safari issue, and how to fix it - it's very annoying!
(i would use the mail app but i'm behind a firewall and can't configure it, so i have to use safari and webmail)

This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). If you’re not talking about Mac OS X’s Mail, but .Mac mail on the web instead, the right forum for such questions would be .Mac Email On The Web.

The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

Terrible view of iphoto journals in Safari?

Why the pictures because rotated and disaligned when I view a iPhoto journal in Safari? This happens since I use iPhoto 2 on iOS 7.03...

Send feedback to Apple and let the developers know. You can use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
Perhaps later Photos releases will add more features, if enough users send feedback.

Is any way of viewing IE only sites in Safari?

Hi guys
Will admit that I have had very little experience of Macs - do you know if there is any way of viewing IE only sites in Safari?
Is there a plugin that I can download? If so, can you advise the link please.
TIA

"do you know if there is any way of viewing IE only sites in Safari?"
In general if a web site has chosen to write and test their site only using Windows IE, or if they have chosen to use Microsoft proprietary technology (like Active X) there is nothing a non-Windows user can do except request the web site developers to support established web standards that support ALL platforms and browsers. Sometimes the web site will actually work with Safari but the web site blocks any browsers other than Windows. Safari can be made to present itself as Windows IE 6 to the web site. For a new user the simplest way to do this is to get the free OS X utility called Onyx. Using Onyx the user can turn on a hidden Safari menu called the "Debug" menu. From that menu the user can tell Safari to fake the web site into thinking it's taking to a Windows IE 6 browser. This is usually a hit-or-miss workaround. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You could also try using a alternate browser like Firefox, Camino, Opera, and a number of other OS X compatible browsers. Again, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't work.
As a new Mac user it is very important for you to understand that the Safari browser is not defective, substandard, or limited. Safari is probably one of the best standards compliant browsers in existence. The problem lies with the fact that Windows IE doesn't follow the rules very well, responds to code differently than standards based browsers, tolerates errors much more than it should (which is one major reason for its security problems) and is totally tied to the Windows OS. Because 85% of the world uses Windows there are a lot of lazy web site developers that test their pages only with Windows IE. They don't care if their site doesn't work with anything else.
Don't ever believe these sites if they tell you that something is wrong with Safari. It's THEIR site that is not standards compliant. Tell them they need to support accepted web standards.
This, of course, doesn't solve the problem but you are not alone. OS X, Linux, Unix users all face the fact that some sites will simply not work with anything else than Windows IE. The 800 lb gorilla does what it wants, when it wants, to whoever it wants.
