Why Safari and QuickTime don't work on OS 10.3.9?

I have an old Mac G4 running OS 10.3.9.  Safari 1.3.2 does not work properly. Moreover QuickTime does not work at all. I cannot watch the movies on my website. I know my site is OK because everything works with a newer computer. What can I do to improve the situation? The interesting thing is that in the past everything worked fine. The problems started when I reinstalled the system and upgraded it to 10.3.9. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also apologize for having posted the same question on the Safari forum. But I think the present forum is more appropriate.

When you reinstalled and upgraded to 10.3.9 you perhaps have not applied relevant updates to Java and Flash.
10.3 Panther barely works on the internet anymore so i am not suprised you are having problems.
You can check which Java version you have at the link below

and I'd try another internet browser like Camino. It is 'less old' than Safari is on 10.3, but basically 10.3 has been left behind as far as the internet goes.

    Click Software Update from your Apple menu. Make sure your software is up to date.

    The older Safari / QT versions may not be able to stream the video.

  • ITunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit

    iTunes and Quicktime don't work on Windows 7 64-bit. I tried to uninstall and install the package according to Apple support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) but still the same problem. I even tried to stop the Bonjour, it didn't help either. When I try to run either iTunes or Quicktime I get a Windows error message "iTunes has stopped working", with details like this:

    Taken as a whole, the symptoms suggest that another application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Safari and quicktime no longer working

    I apologize in advance that I have really no information to offer...but this is really causing me problems.
    This afternoon I received my normal system update notice, which included updates for Safari and Quicktime (I have Mac OS X 10.4.11), without really thinking about it I clicked accept and went about my business...after the restart I went online and noticed that absolutely nothing involving quicktime/flash/windows media player files would not show up on screen...I just got the Q with a question mark.
    I read through all the discussions for quicktime, deleted and re-installed quicktime, my flash plugins, etc....NOTHING has worked.
    At this point I am not sure where to turn, I am only basic in my knowledge of plugins and how things work, but I follow everyones advice and it is really annoying me that I cannot view any kind of video online.
    thoughts? Am I missing something?

    for "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> (MIME Settings...) -> Miscellaneous ->" I have "Quicktime HTML (GHTM) checked, while "SMIL 1.0" is unchecked
    So is "System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> Enable Flash ->" (unchecked)
    OK. They both look normal enough.
    What plug-ins do you have under the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder? (This one is under the main hard drive area, not you User area).
    Run this command in the Terminal if you're not sure and then paste the output here:
    <pre>ls -l /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/</pre>
    I have the following listed: a micromedia folder, and "RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
    I'm guessing you meant 'Macromedia' instead of Micromedia? Try dragging both of those onto your Desktop for the time being. Unless you have some special reason, internet plug-ins generally go in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder so that all users of the computer can access them. Plug-Ins present in the User area also take precedence, so there's a chance those might be part of the problem.

  • Safari and wireless don't work unless I am connected to wireless

    safari and my wireless don`t work together, unless the macbook is connected to the wireless

    Take your MacBook to another location where wireless networks are available - a coffee house or public building - and see if it finds wireless networks when it starts up. If so, the problem might be with your router at home. If not, you might check System Preferences > Network and see if Airport is operating/on.
    If by "connected" you mean via ethernet cable, there are a couple things to try: Take a look at your wireless router's settings (router's manual will have instructions for accessing settings) and see what security features are on/off.

  • Since Safari update, ichat, itunes, safari and update don't work.

    I've got a weird one . . .
    I ran the software update this morning for the new Safari, as well as iTunes. At the end of the download, I got an error message saying iTunes worked, but the Safari update was not successful. It then made me restart. After restart, software update refuses to open, as do Safari, mail, iChat, and iTunes. Third party programs run fine, as do iCal, iPhoto, etc. Firefox works fine. I downloaded the Safari update package off Apple's site via Firefox, but the package "unexpectedly quits." I'm thinking the failed update screwed everything up, but if I can't open a package installer OR the software update program, how the heck am I supposed to fix it?
    I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Powerbook G4.

    Not so weird, Travis.
    It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
    So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
    My update didn't have an error message.
    Here is what I have done:
    Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
    Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
    NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
    Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!

  • Facebook; safari and firefox don't work.

    I use OSX10.5 on Mac Intel, I was using safari and switched to firefox 12 due to the following issues; facebook takes a long time to load, doesn't load properly, applications unresponsive including inbox and it times out.  Now firefox is doing the same and I have been through Mozilla's suggestions, still nothing.  Please help, I just wanna play Scrabble!   

    Thank you for responding, after I posted this I thought, "JAVA"!   Firefox disabled it for me for security protection, deleted it!  Wa-La!  Works. 

  • Mail and quicktime don't work since 10.9.2 update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    I updated to 10.9.2 a few days ago and since then my Mail app and Quicktime app simply crash on startup. This is getting frustrating. Any word on a posible fix?

  • Why Flash and videos don't work after 10.6.7 update?

    After os update Flash, Shockwave and videos stopped working on Safari. Also Flash CS5, Flash Builder 4 and Flash Catalyst CS5 stopped working. An error message on Flash CS5 "Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall Flash." I have uninstalled and reinstalled stuff, fixed the HDD errors etc but so far no solution. Is this simply error in update software made by some tired engineer?

    2 Suggestions:
    1) Try reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6.7 via Combo Update, it's a common troubleshooting step:

  • ITunes Store does not connect (Safari and MSN don't work either)

    Hi when i try to connect to the iTunes store through iTunes it says there was a connection error and it times out. Also MSN and Safari do not work; MSN says there is not a connection and Safari just doesnt load any pages. However programs such as Adium and Firefox work fine. Now i assummed it would be a problem with my router, but the weird thing is, iTunes and MSN work fine on the PC i have. Also the programs worked fine on my Macbook whilst i was at uni last week so i am not sure what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    I've had the same problem for a few months now. I keep getting an error message that the network connection has been reset. However, I'm still connected to the internet on my iBook, it's getting really frustrating.

  • How can I get my Mac to connect faster to the Internet? My wifi connection is fine....don't know why Safari and other web browsers are so slow.

    If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I clickclick on them?

    My ipad safari and mail are not working.  Why are they blank when I

    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail and Safari apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Safari and Mail don't launch

    Please help. Safari and Mail have stopped working. They bounch once in the dock and quit. Any ideas? I am typing this using Firefox.

    Jeff, Jessica & Tom --
    When you all did the updates,
    did you repair permissions before and after?
    See Sections A & B of Trav's Tips
    Here
    Permissions need to be done before (and at least after) major upgrades, Security updates, etc. Anything that requires your administrative password.
    Do these, and get back to us, OK?
