XM Radio online Activation w/ Safari

Has anyone else tried to activate an XM Radio account online using Safari? I just tried and it wouldn't work. I can tab around to the different fields i.e. Name, address, email etc... but the drop-down for State is grayed out. Also, the submit/cancel buttons at the bottom of the form are "non clickable." I tried with both Firefox and Netscape 7.2 for Mac, but both simply return a jumble of html code. I figured as much since they both run off the same engine.
Anyways... So I wrote XM and complained how they should really have their web developers make their site more OS/browser compatable.
I just get so frustrated when web sites are so in bed with IE! Down with IE!!
Ok, I just needed to vent, thanks for listening.

Hey iBradly,
Just to save you some time, I tried opening the page with the latest Firefox Beta (which gave me the raw XML code of the site), Camino 0.8 (which also gave me the raw XML code), Opera (which allowed me to fill in the form but not select a state from the drop down), and Safari (which doesn't allow anything due to their site currently being IE only).
I even tried the debug menu in Safari for Windows IE and Mac IE. Neither worked. However, the actual Internet Explorer applications for OS X did work and you're able to fill the form out properly.
If for some reason it doesn't work for you or you don't want to use IE for the Mac (can't blame ya!), then you can call XM @ 1-800-XM-RADIO and activate by phone. Be sure to tell them the site is doesn't work on a Mac and you want the online activation rate of $10 instead of the over the phone rate of $15 (assuming you have to activate the radio - I'm not entirely sure how the free trial periods work).
Good luck!

  • XM Radio Online

    I have a new Mac and have tried to use my XM Radio online. The problem seems to be the Flip4Mac plug in which I uninstalled and reinstalled. I worked with Mozilla tech who tried the plug in on his Mac and his did not work either. Anyone else having this issue, and is there a work around?

  • XM Radio Online Doesn't Connect

    Does anyone know how to get XM Radio to work within Safari? The Windows Media Player plug-in tries to connect but never does. I tried the Flip4Mac plug-in and got the same non-result. Essentially the XM Widget behaves the same except that it occasionally connects after a really long wait and other times generates error messages.
    The AOL radio player actually does work but does not offer all of the XM channels.
    An iTunes solution would be the ultimate right way to go but I haven't seen any way to do that either.
    Quick Silver   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    I do not believe XM is fully compatible with Safari.
    The XM Radio Online portion of the site is compatible. The rest of the site is horrible for Macs though.
    Are you getting a -2048 error message with Flip4Mac (I believe that's the error number)? Also, make sure you're using the latest version of the OS as well as the latest version of Flip4Mac. Both work fine for me.
    Also, you might want to try my application, ThisWeekOnXM which eliminates the need to open Safari for listening to XM Radio Online.
    As per Apple's TOS, I won't receive any benefit from you downloading my application unless you choose to donate, which is entirely in your hands.

  • Lots of HD activity when Safari is open

    Anybody know why there's lots of hard drive activity when Safari is open?? I've gone to using Firefox almost exclusively because I'm worried something bad is happening. I know it's Safari because when I quit Safari, the disk activity stops. Also, is happens on all three of the Macs I use, a laptop, my iMac, and a Mac mini at work.
    I'm using 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.4.

  • Listening to radio online!

    I have been trying in vain to listen to radio online.... I like to listen to BBC Radio 2 and some of the commercial american stations (Power 96).... A strange combination I know.
    Anyhow. It is proving nigh impossible to get my music fix. Either the live player is based on microsoft media player. Or the patch that is required only runs with windows....
    I got a mac to escape the pains of windows.. How can I listen to radio without going back to the devil (windows)?
    James

    Maybe the Flip4Mac plugin for Quicktime will allow you to listen to those streams?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V), then press return.
    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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    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.

    Dear Anubha,
    I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
    The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
    The version is 8.1.0.
    This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
    This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned.  I get an
    "Activation Number" instead.

  • Can't access online games as safari won't allow

    I have been trying to access online games but Safari wont allow me.

    What online games ? If they are flash-based then you won't be able to as flash is not supported on any iOS device - in which case you could see if they have their own app versions in the iTunes app store

    When you say the drivers did not install correctly, did you install them via the Apple Software Update?

    You're probably Private Browsing now which is why there is no history to clear.

  • I cannot receive audio from several of my internet music sites such as XM Radio online since switching to Firefox 4 Beta 1 - Help

    I cannot receive audio from several of my internet music sites such as XM Radio online since switching to Firefox 4 Beta 1 - Help
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.xmradio.com/player/listen/playerShell.action

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
