Viewing web camera on safari or firefox

Hello
I recently purchased a mbp... Trying to get to grips with moving from pc to mac, and doing ok for the most part, except one little thing:
On my pc, i was able to see on IE8 my web camera (a level one camera) located at my home (spying on the baby sitter!). I cannot get it to work now on safari nor firefox (because i did read around and people were saying that firefox might be able to view the file)
I get an ActiveX warning and a still image instead of a live feed shows up on my screen. When i refresh the page, the clock has moved to the current time, but again only a still image shows. I run flip4mac but nothing. Anyone any ideas?

From the research that I have done, I didn’t find any solution to this issue.
Most of the surveillance cameras and consoles need ActiveX control in order to work. Furthermore, some special line and more expensive cameras support java streaming that you can use in mac os.
Unfortunately you have to wait until Microsoft will permit the usage of ActiveX controls for any other operating system.
P.S. You can also install a virtual Os with xp in your laptop (probably it is the only thing that you can do)

    Please post the URL so I can have a look from here.
    Also, try the site in Firefox. If there are windows issues involved, Firefox is usually the better browser to use.

  • Viewing web cam does not work, help needed

    I'm having trouble viewing an iSight webcam on my iBook. I start up iChat on my MacBook then click accept to start viewing the webcam. 'connecting' comes up and thats as far as it goes. Same with audio, click accept and then it goes to 'connecting' then the same happens. I thought you could still 'view' the webcam even though theres not one installed on my iBook? Any help would be much appriciated, thank you!

    Hi Tymon,
    Can I ask if you have an AIM or @mac name (A screen name ) ?
    If so have you set this up in iChat ?
    "Connecting" would indicate you are not Logged on to the AIM server hence my first question.
    You can View your Preview by Clicking on your own Video icon next to your Buddy Icon pic. (or by going to the iChat > Preferences > Video section).
    If the mac firewall is On but you have not set iChat ports then you could have problems particularly if in the Advanced section you have Stealth mode selected.
    You will also need to open the ports in any device that routes to connect you to the internet.
    This FAQ may help explain the questions further

  • How to move list of folders in Outlook Web App from Safari to Firefox

    I have a list of folders, one or two moved over but moist did nit

    Outlook Web App (Exchange Server 2010-2013) should have the same content on all modern browsers, since the mail and mail folders are stored on the server.
    Perhaps, though, a cookie or other local storage keeps track of peculiarities of your desired layout? If you explore around, can you find the missing folders?

    Hi,
    Also.
    Do you have the Google Video Chat Plug-in installed ?
    You may have gained this by Installing Chrome if you did not manually download the Installer for Intel Macs Only.
    This can conflict with the Flash Plug-in.
    See Known Issues and open the bit on Google Talk Plug-in Disables iSight on Mac.

  • Safari and Firefox loading wrong pages since 10.6.5 update

    I have an issue on two completely separate Macs since upgrading them to 10.6.5. After a few hours use, links within some web pages, in Safari or Firefox, will resolve to very random places. For example I click a news article link on the Yahoo home page, and it takes me repeatedly to a monster.com job listing page. Or if I am in Yahoo mail and I click Calendar, it takes me right back to yahoo mail and does not open the calendar page. Sometimes I can click a link in the bookmarks bar like the one for www.yahoo.com and it gives me a page not found error. Totally repeatable once this behaviour starts - if the wrong page load problem starts on any given link, it repeatedly goes to that wrong page every time that link is clicked. Tried using Firefox as well as Safari - same exact bugs occur there once this behavior starts. So its not just Safari!
    If I run Cocktail and run the weekly script, the problem usually gets instantly fixed, for a little while, then it eventually comes back.
    It appears that some cache, perhaps the whatis or lookup databases (since those get rebuilt in the weekly script), are getting corrupted in 10.6.5, such that browser links get resolved to the incorrect addresses.
    Happens on my MacPro Quadcore i7 as well as a friends MacBook Pro 17, 2009 unibody. Both started showing this problem on both firefox AND safari after the 10.6.5 update. Have tried resetting Safari, rebooting, and using them on a different wireless network, to no avail.
    Help!!!!

    Hi Jim
    test in a New User Account
    & if that's no different - try out different dns
    say Open dns
    or more reliably for me lately ( & less annoying when a site doesn't exist, or is mistyped )
    Google public dns

  • Having trouble previewing my website on Safari and Firefox from Dreamweaver CS5

    Hi,
    I previously built a website using Dreamweaver version CS3 and it ran well.  Now that I I have upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5, I'm having trouble previewing the menu text on my website and flash picture text.  I'm using  an Apple operating sytem (10.6.8).  While previewing the web page On Safari and Firefox within Dreamweaver, my menus and the flash picture text have not shown up and the main page contained an error that says:
    "Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
    The following local application on your computer or network:
    null
    is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
    s.ytimg.com
    To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
    You must restart this application after changing your settings."
    Can you tell me what I do to correct this?

    This is often related to embedded YouTube videos in your webpage.
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499751
    "This warning is talking about the Flash Global Security Settings Manager. This is not a virus but rather a very common security step related to allowing Flash to connect to the Internet while testing on your local machine. This only occurs during testing on your local machine and does not come into play when that same Flash object is on the Web page on the server.
    The Settings Manger allows you to "approve" connecting to the Internet for a particular Flash object.
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager04.html
    So go to the Settings Manager, Click "Edit Locations" or "Add Location" and browse on you computer for the Flash file that you are giving permisssion to connect to the Internet. Each Flash object that attempts to access the Internet will need to be given permission separately.
    Kind of a pain... or just upload your Flash to the server and test from there, then it's not an issue."

  • Not able to view my web pages in Safari

    I am having problems viewing my web pages in the Safari browser and wondered if anyone can help solve the mystery?
    The site was created in iWeb '08, and was loaded to .Mac. I did not want the site to be hosted on .Mac as I already have a domain, but the CNAME process that is described by .Mac is not supported by my hosting service, so I had to ask my hosting service (Freeola) to route the service to their servers and provide masking so the .Mac address would not show in the browser bar.
    This works absolutely fine in Firefox and the page loads up without a problem.
    However, when I enter the site address in the Safari browser, the name appears in the bar, and then the blue progress bar does 2 sweeps and then a blank page appears, but with the site mame at the top of the window. If I click the cursor on any point on the bank page, a grey horizontal line appears, and then disappears, but still no opening page!
    I cannot work out whether this is an issue with the original coding in iWeb '08 and a compatability issue with Safari ( I am using v2.0.4 on all my 3 machines, and the problem is the same), or it's something to do with the way my hosting service is routing the site.
    I have asked others to view the site on PC's using IE, and they do not seem to have a problem so far.
    I am not a web designer, and know absolutely nothing about writing code and HTML, hence using the simplicity of iWeb, but this seems a strange thing to happen. If I enter the original .Mac site hosting address in Safari, the site shows up just fine!!
    Has anybody else had this type of problem?? Any help would be gratefully received, as this thing is driving me crazy!!
    Cheers.

    Further to my earlier post, I have just read an entry noting that if you already own a domain name, and ask your hosting service to forward and mask your iWeb '08 created, web.mac.com site to your personal domain, chances are that due to the masking of the site on web.mac.com, Safari browsers interpret the masking as being the end of the site, and as such, just return a blank page?
    This may explain the problem. However, call me old fashioned, and possibly a little naive, but surely this cannot be the problem?? It's OK in Firefox!

  • Web Gallery-Surprising Differences between Safari and Firefox

    I discovered some surprising differences using Web Gallery in Safari vs. Firefox:
    1. When you first view an album the gallery, the thumbnail photos take quite a bit longer to be visible in Safari than in Firefox.
    2. When rolling the mouse over the Subscribe icon in Safari, a message states, "Add this album to iPhoto." In Firefox, the message states, "Subscribe to an RSS feed of this album."
    3. When a movie is selected in Safari, you can download it immediately, though the movie is not playable from the Safari page until it fully loads. In Firefox, if you click the download icon before the movie has fully loaded, a message appears that states, "QuickTime is unable to play this movie. Please try again. Then, a window opens asking what to do with the file you are trying to download -- Save it, or Launch QuickTime. If you wait until the movie is fully loaded, it plays within the Firefox page. If, after it's loaded, you leave the page and then go back to that page, the movie won't load again and play within Firefox, but it can be downloaded.
    I'm wondering whether these differences in functionality are typical or just occurring on my Mac, so please document your experience here.

    Thanks Denes for your reply.
    I use HttpWatch tool to measure the loading times. Reports are mostly the same for IE and FF. I can see from the report, there is three times shown error 404 Not Found for the items below.
    http://......./images/sRegion-Body.png
    http://......./images/sRegion-Bottom.png
    http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png
    The last action which caused 404 error started 2 seconds after the page was asked to refresh. The next action http://......../i/libraries/jquery-ui/1.8.22/ui/i18n/oracle/jquery.ui.datepicker-cs.js started after 38 seconds (hanging in the same place for 36 seconds). Does it mean that the problem is caused by http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png action which returns 404 error?
    How can I add the missing images?

  • Web cams in IE but not firefox

    The Hogs Breath Saloon web cam wont run on FireFox4. It runs on the older version no problem.
    Duval St web cam has the same problem. I like to keep an eye on Key West so I look at these every day.

    There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
    To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
    Select the following long line of code and copy it:
    function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
    When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
    Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
    Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

  • I cannot view a live web cam on my IPad2

    I have Safari. Why can't I view live web cams?

    No real idea since you post no details about the webcams. Perhaps they're streaming in a format not supported by the iPad. If you can post the URL to one or more of these webcams, we can check them out and then perhaps offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Safari 6.0 No Longer Displays Linksys Web Cam Video

    I have been using a Linksys WVC54GCA for serveral years.  I view the camera setup and video on my browser.  With the new Safari 6.0 in Mountain Lion, I can no longer display video from my Linksys Cam.  It works fine in Firefox and on my iPhone/iPad.  Has anyone else seen a problem displaying video on Safari?

    I have a similar problem with an EasyN IP camera.  Worked perfectly under Lion / Safari 5.  With Mountain Lion and Safari 6 I get about 2-3 seconds of video before the video stops.  As mentioned in one of the replies above, it seems Safari is doing something weird with it handling of the cgi script for the video feed served up by the IP camera.  I haven't found any error messages so tracking down the root cause is proving elusive.
    There's another thread discussing this issue here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19087481

    AMD/ATI Display Driver for Windows 7 (32/64) v8.634.1
    Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
    Toshiba Web Camera Application for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v1.1.1.6)
