Wishing for a fix for safari 4.0 problems?

Seems that once you upgrade from safari 4.0 beta to safari 4.0, you lose the ability to use a lower screen resolution like 800x600. A temporary fix is to change the resolution to 1024x768, then open safari. After it opens, change the resolution back to 800x600. Every thing now works. Of course, it begs the question, why did the beta support lower screen resolutions when 4.0 doesn't?

Of course, it begs the question, why did the beta support lower screen resolutions when 4.0 doesn't?
The obvious answer? It's a bug.

  • Safari will no longer open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

    Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop.  When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open.  I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari.  I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing. 
    I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago.  I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop.  I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back.  Can you guide me through this?
    Thanks,

    Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
    10.6.8 Combo Updater
    System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Is there a fix for safari crashing?, is there a fix for safari crashing?

    Is there a fix yet for safari crashing on the ipod touch?

    I own an iPad and it happens to me too. There is nothing you can do it normally crashes because it is a big web page. Safari just isn't a very good program. My suggestion to you is to get the google app

  • My fix for Safari 5 beach ball, hang, not responding

    Hello,
    So many people experienced problems with safari after upgraded to S5 and me too! Beach balls, not responding, crash, quitting, hang.. Etc. I tried clearing cache, reset safari, delete .plst, uninstall/reinstall safari all yield to similar problem.
    Here's what i have done to fix mine.
    For slow internet try to change your DNS to:
    *Google DNS*
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    *Level3 Com DNS*
    4.4.2.1
    4.4.2.2
    OpenDNS
    165.21.100.88
    165.21.83.88
    For safari frequent beach balls, hang or not responding.
    If beach ball occurs,
    1) open activity monitor (safari would be in red font and saying that "not responding)
    2) Don't quit your safari instead look for flash plugin that is running and try to quit that process.
    3) See if beach ball gone, if yes then problem could be your flash plugin.
    4) Go to Adobe site and download latest flash and test your Flash (+http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/+)
    5)Try to test that macro media shockwave player if it works (+http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/+)
    when i test mine it says that it run only in 32 bit mode so i turn my safari in 32bit and it able to display that logo which means its working.
    So far i never encounter again beach balls(knock to the wood 3x) for a week of usage
    I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
    In windows7 machine i encountered internet explorer 64bit some pages also not able to display(but no hang) due to Flash player unable to support 64bit, need to run in 32 bit.
    Hope my fix to my MBP can benefit others too...
    or any of you out there can give or enlighten more on this issue?

    HI,
    crash
    I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
    If it turns out Safari crashes again, post a crash report.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
    Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. 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.

  • Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2.  When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

    I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices.   When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive.  The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one.  Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500.  It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem.  On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
    Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
    Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

  • Macbook 2007 is totally after slow after upgrading Adobe Flash for Safari

    Last month I replaced the (failed) hard drive of my 2007 Macbook with a new 500 GB HD. Everything was great until I attempted to upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Flash player for safari. After uninstalling the old flash player I found it impossible to add the new one--or any other version. I decided to give up for a while until I could go into Apple for advice. I used chrome to watch Youtube, but the videos were totally choppy--freezing and suddenly speeding up--But the real worry is that the entire system is slow slow slow with endless beach balls. I've used utility first aid, Clean mymac, iboost, and tiddyup--each time things seemed better (or not as bad) but I still got beachballs and videos still impossible to watch. I also tried a suggested fix that involved pressing control>command>P.R while powering up. Today I managed to finally upgrade the flash player after upgrading to the newest version of Safari. But videos just as bad and still super slow with beach balls. I would greatly appreciate any new suggestions. Maybe the new HD is defect? I also upgraded to Snow Leopard last year. Thanks!

  • IWeb Bugs and a wish for the future. :)

    Hi there,
    Two issues that I've found moving my photoblog to iWeb, and I'm wondering if they are bugs or issues that the community knows about:
    1. I've changed the template I used a lot - font colours, background, etc. Now when I create a new blog entry, it uses the old, standard template and I have to change everything again. Is there a way to make iWeb realise that I've changed my "default" template settings so all new entries remain the same? It seems not. This is my feature wish.
    2. Related to this, I solve this problem by just duplicating one of my existing pages and then changing the photo and content and date. The PROBLEM with this is where i think the bug exists. In iWeb, when I click Next/Previous, it goes between the different entries in chronological order, as expected... but when it publishes to .Mac, the next/previous buttons are really messed up, linking to articles/pages that are not even close to being near them in order. I've been able to determine that:
    a. Create three new entries in iWeb. Works good.
    b. Duplicate the middle entry, put it LAST in the order.
    c. The NEXT button on this new, last entry links to the third item, just as the original 2nd item did before I duplicated it.
    Is there any way to make iWeb re-calculate the next and previous buttons before you publish it? Or even better, any Apple folks around that can confirm/escalate this?
    UPDATE: It's also possible that iWeb is ordering the next and previous buttons based on the time the entry was created in iWeb, rather then the time specified on the entry. If you are porting older entries from a previous blog, this can be a pain because you're not necessarily putting entries in from oldest to newest.
    Either way - the behaviour isn't as expected: next and previous buttons ordered by the date specified in the iWeb 'Entries' window.
    3. This is more advanced, but seems a bug none the less. I use .Mac publishing, because it's integrated and easy. But I also have my down domain, which I have configured to just "forward" to my .Mac folder. So, when someone goes to www.mydomain.com, the server connects to web.mac.com/me/iWeb/ and makes the request, translating the path. This works really great (save some initial headaches with character encoding), but comments in iWeb blogs don't work when you do this.
    They work directly when you go directly to .Mac, but something about the comment system requires that the client browser accurately present the URL to the .Mac server, and in my case, it's reporting my domain name. As a result, when you click to add a comment, you get a "there has been an error" page and it dies.
    If this little annoyance could be fixed in a point release version of iWeb, that would be AMAZING.
    4. Lastly, one more wish for the future. .mac domain hosting. Domains aren't just for businesses - lots of people have them for their blog/photos/etc now. If I could make my domain point to my .Mac web hosting without any messy translation, I'd be in heaven. I don't even care if I only get my single e-mail address on the domain - just the hosting would be so excellent.
    MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    It sounds like it! I ported about 10 new posts from my old MovableType installation last night and am seeing the same behaviour - duplicating entries definately breaks the chronological order of next/previous.
    Apple?
    Is there a place I can file a formal bug report?

  • How can i load a specific CSS style sheet for Safari?

    Okay, So I have some structure issues when viewing my website on Safari compared to Firefox. Is there a way to put a code in the <head> tag to load a specific CSS style sheet for Safari like you can do with IE?
    Thanks.

    I took a screenshot of your page from Firefox (shown below).  I assume you're seeing the same problem in Safari.  If you increase text size one click, the keyboard image drops below the #contact division.
    1) Height is a restiction in all browsers except IE.  Avoid  using height values on containers with text in them.  If needed to show  a background image, use the min-height property.
    2)  Fix your code errors. Some browsers are very sensitive to errors.
    3)  Your #content lacks cohesion. You need 3 columns, each with a width in pixels.  Or simply use a 3-column table.

  • After doing a recent software update, my macbook can't bring up Safari. I get a problem report for Safari with a lot of tech words/numbers

    After doing a recent software update, our macbook stopped opening up Safari.  We keep getting a problem report for Safari.  How do we fix this?

    Please copy and paste the entire report in your Reply. That should reveal what the problem is.
    No need to send anymore reports to Apple. One is sufficient. It's only for the developers perusal.

  • Want to set a default zoom level for safari?  Here's how you do it.

    If you like to set a default zoom level for safari so you don't have to hit Ctrl+ (or Ctrl-) every time you start Safari and open a new tab, here's how you can do that. This should work on Safari for mac, too:
    1) create a file named defaultzoom.css (or any name you like, just make sure it has a css extension.)
    2) copy and paste in the following:
    body {
    zoom: 130%;
    change 130 to whatever number suits you. >100 means zoom in, <100 means zoom out. Don't forget the % percent sign!
    3) in safari, go to Preferences > Advanced. Under style sheet, select Other... and point to the file you created.
    4) you may need to restart safari for the change to take effect.
    Voila. Hope that helps someone.

    Yes you are right!
    This CSS zooming is a crude hack. I think it basically treats a web page like a pdf document where you just enlarges everything.
    When you zoom manually, safari does a smarter sort of zoom where it enlarges but tries to keep widths of the elements the same size, reflowing text where needed and scrolling only when necessary.
    If the web page has a fixed size that is smaller than your browser window, like this forum, css zoom works ok. But with a page like gmail, which has no width constraint, you get into trouble.
    Hmm, wait, I just checked out wiki, which also uses up all available screen real estate, but does NOT have this problem.
    Notice in gmail, even if you zoom way out below what should be 100%, the login is still off the screen. The font gets real small but the width of the page stays the same. The css zoom basically "sticks" and isn't completely reversible.
    Bottom line: you have to decide which is more annoying: having to hit Ctrl+ for every tab you open, or running into some problematic pages.
    On Windows, I use autohotkey (a kdb and mouse macro scripting program) to switch off the CSS on the fly when I need to. I think Mac has similar capability built in, right? If I were really clever, I guess I could program autohotkey to send a few ctrl+ whenever it detects a new window or tab in safari, but I'm not there yet.
    Bottom bottom line: Apple needs to add this feature. It's a pretty basic accessibility feature. Doesn't Apple have like an accessibility guru/advocate?

  • Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

    problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

    Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
    I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

    If you like
    http://www.chrissmither.com,
    look at that page code.
    and especially the style sheet, which is there:
    http://www.chrissmither.com/cs_style.css
    In this style sheet, you'll see the style for the background,
    applied to the body tag:
    body {
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica;
    font-size:13px;
    color: #110000;
    margin:0; padding:0;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:rgb(56,40,24);
    background-image:url('images/mainsite_empty_lrg4.jpg');
    background-repeat:none;
    background-attachment:scroll;
    background-position:top center;
    compare this to your background style...
    The important thing here is:
    background-position:top center;
    this will center the background horizontally.
    But this is just the beginning, because if your background
    gets centered, your content will be off,
    since your content is not centered (it's in a Layer). Using a
    background for page layout is a bad
    idea anyways. For example if I increase the text size in my
    browser preferences, your text content
    goes beyind the bottom limit of your background.
    So in short
    background image as layout: bad idea
    using Layers: bad idea
    I suggest you study css and html a little bit, don't use
    Layers, use regular divs and tables, use
    Design view (no layout view) and look at your code as much as
    possible as you go and experiement.

  • Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

    Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
    Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
    First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
         - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
         - Set location to Automatic
         - Click Apply
         - Click Advanced
         - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
         - Click Apply
         - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
    Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
         - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
         - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
    Turn off your computer
         - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
         - turn on computer
         - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
         - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
         - this resets your PRAM
    Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
         - click Choose a Network
         - Select your network and enter password
    Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

         No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
         I called Apple Support  and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
    Cheers.

  • I Wish for a little more IQ in AME when dealing with TIFF Sequences !!!

    1)
    I drop a movie into AME (let us assume a .MOV) called MVI_7899.MOV which I want to convert to a TIFF sequence.
    So far so good.
    I set my parameters etc and choose an output destination.
    I click render
    Let us assume that my .MOV has 1800 frames.
    AME names my new movie as follows
    MVI_78990000
    thru to
    MVI_78991800
    Any other app that I have ever been working with would have the chops to add an "_" (Underscore) character BEFORE adding the sequence number.
    I SURE would wish for such in AME>>>>> If NOT already possible.
    2)
    Also, I think there should be a preference called "Automatically Create Folder for Image Sequences"
    This would create a folder with the name of MOV file and put all the sequences inside of it. THat would SAVE time. LOTS.
    3)
    Also, I think it would be fair to assume that anyone dropping a MOVIE into AME does NOT wish to create ONE tiff image from that whole movie but a TIFF Sequence. Choosing Adobes TIFF presets will NOT tick the "Export as Sequence"Parameter
    4) Last but not least
    Why on earth is it not possible to drag n drop a tiff sequence folder onto AME. I have to double-click in the source name view and then navigate to the sequence I want to import.
    5) Ok LAST wish
    When having navigated to a TIFF sequence I cant believe I have to check - Import as sequence - This parameter, in book, should be ticked by default.
    At least I know of NO ONE.. Wanting to convert ONE single tiff frame to H264..
    Perhaps the guys that make this app could consult a little with folks working with image sequences ;-)
    Afterall, if you have a RAID0 system - movies converted to image sequences are going to beat the performance of ANY codec available on the planet currently.
    Thanks for reading and for an otherwise great intuitive app !

    Hi,
    Thanks for the great feedback.  All of these issues are superb feature requests.  Would you mind filling out the feature request form for each one of these?  Sending feedback that way ensures that it gets routed and filed appropriately.  The forum here is a great place for discussing the issues, the feature request form is the best way get it in front of the right people's eyes.
    FWIW, several of these issues are already logged internally, and are on the long list of improvements for the next version of AME.
    Specific responses to each of your requests:
    1) Yep.  After Effects does this.  AME should, too.
    2) You're preaching to the choir here.  I'd love to see AME and AE both adopt this feature.
    3) I get frustrated by this, too.  Export As Sequence is not enabled by default for any of the still formats except DPX.  Definitely want to fix this.
    4) AME isn't quite smart enough to distinguish a folder of individual TIFF files from a folder containing a TIFF sequence.  Same reason that you can't use sequence files as a source in a Watch Folder.  Definitely something we want to fix.
    5) Yep.  After Effects does this.  AME should, too.
    Again, thanks for the helpful feedback.  It is appreciated.
