Viewing .swf file on Safari

I am trying to watch a .swf from a website on Safari. It must be the coneciton speed or a buffering problem but it stalls every few seconds. Anything I can do to stop this? Thx.

Cannot view PDF files within Safari 6.0.1

I have lost the ability to view PDF files within the safari web browser. When I press on a link to a PDF file a blank/black screen will appear. If I right click on the page I have the ability to Save the PDF file and then I can open it in preview.
I also have AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin installed in ~Library/Internet Plug ins/ ... folder.
I have tried deleting these files and restarting Safari but nothing seems to be working. I have tried installing the PDF Browser plugin form Schubert to no avail
Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I get the ability to view PDF files in Safari using Moutain Lios OSX?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

Still can't view acrobat files in Safari

I recently upgraded to OS X 10.6.2 and can no longer view acrobat files in Safari 4.0.4. I deleted the Adobe PDF plugin from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (as suggested in another post in this forum) with no luck. Does anyone have another idea that could work?

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

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 or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk 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 by pressing 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 4 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.

Can't view swf files in browser

We recently reloaded our web server. Since the reload we can
no longer view swf files on our homepage. I'm not sure if it's ain
issue with IIS or with our files.
I've searched the forums and have verified the Scripts folder
is uploaded to our server. I've also tried removing the files and
reinserting them, nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?
url is
http://www.bardhvac.com/
I've also attached the code.

Hmmm....
I see what has happened. There are two different scripts
folder. One in c:\inetpub\scripts and one at
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\scripts. I was copying to the wwwroot one.
It appears that c:\inetpub\scripts is defined as a virtual
directory in IIS, therefore the code would have been targeting that
location instead of the one in wwwroot folder. Not quite sure why
it's a virutal directory, but looks like it has something to do
with our new version of SLmail (webmail application).
I copied the AC_RunActiveContent.js file to
c:\inetpub\scripts and gave read authority, the swf files now show
on our website.
I'll need to look into this more. Thanks for your
help!

Is there a plug-in to view swf. files?

Is there a plug-in for mac QT that allows viewing swf. files? I am a teacher and I want to be able to embed swf. files into powerpoint, which means I need QT to be able to read swf. I can find full apps that will do it, but it has to be QT to work in powerpoint since it uses QT as its engine.

Kirkster, give the security concern a break, you' ve posted this repeatedly, In the old Windows forum. No media player puts you at such a risk as QuickTime and iTunes do. If Mac computers can't play the files it's a problem with Apple

After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)? I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kirk,
Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution. Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document).
When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do). Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want. The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
Any other suggestions, please?

I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

Does anyone have a solution for this???
"I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

Viewing .swf files

My husband has a 'course' online that he is supposed to view and it's a .swf file (Shockwave) but even after installing Shockwave, he isn't able to view it. I was able to get Real Player (not sure why that worked) to view it, then upgraded to the latest Real Player and now it won't recognize the file. In fact on the webpage it has "View Video" and if we click on it it downloads the file to the desktop and we can't view it. Any ideas? Supposedly it can be viewed on IE, Firefox and Safari- tried them all but none work. Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving! Judy

Have you tried installing Adobe's latest Flash Player? If not, give that a try.
Hope this helps.

Can no longer view pdf files in Safari

Adobe viewer installed. Was working okay. Upon first "download" of pdf file, had pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application. Then pdf files were opened in Safari with Adobe Reader controls across the top of the Safari window.
For no apparent reason, can no longer view pdf in Safari. The URL for the pdf file appears in the Safari URL, but the Safari window is blank. No pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application during first "download" of pdf file. Safari Help --> Installed Plug-ins shows Adobe Reader for pdf. Can download pdf file by highlighting URL and then pressing Option-Return.
Only change the previous day was update of Mac software which included a security upgrade and other software upgrades.

I like using Safari 5.1 for my web browser at work (I use a windows 7 machine). But the recent update won't let me view PDF files. I have to open up Google Chrome then copy and paste the address into it so I can view the PDF. How do I fix this?
