What i am assuming, is that you are running a mac. Safari tends to be part of the mac operating system. There is use to be safari for PC, but apple removed support for it, you can technically use the browser on PC, just the old unpatched one (highly not recommended).

1) Run a mac OS update, generally the update section is in the apple app store. See if there is any updates for Safari as well for the MAC OS, update and see if it resolves the issue.

2) More or less if the OS/Safari is slightly older, the app store will auto detect if your current MAC can be upgradable to the new OS with the missing plug in for safari, you can do this without losing any files as long as the power adapter is plugged in throughout the entire upgrade process.

SOURCE: I just purchased Satellite Direct to watch tv on

The best information I found is at this particular on this exact issue: you need a media player that plugs in to your browser and can play windows media player for you. Fip4Mac seems to be the most recommended solution.This link will tell you all about it as well as link to download locations. Sounds like you'll also need Perian. Just download and install both of those and you should be good.

Hi Dan. I'm not sure why you've sent all this here - it should go to Apple.
It looks very much like you have hit some bad Java code.

Please help me, I loaded poker but I can not sit at the table, I can not close the list with friends, thus I do not see poker chat, it takes several days and on all browsers the same, can you fix it...

Here are some tip & tricks:

1. Refresh you page one or better yet twice.
2. Update your browser. There are several documented issues surrounding Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) or Internet Explorer 9 (IE 9) and Flash content. If you are using IE 8 or IE 9, we suggest that you try a new browser such as Safari 4, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. We also recommend that you always make sure that you are using the latest version of your browser. These are the last versions of the different browsers that support Zynga games:
* Google Chrome 8.0 * Mozilla 5.0 * Safari 4
3. Clear your cache
4. Verify that JavaScript is enabled
5. Close your other internet applications, especially any file-sharing applications or concurrent streaming video.
6. Disable pop-up blocking or ad blocking software.
7. Download the latest Flash player if you do not currently have it. Reboot your system. Adjust your Flash settings to give Flash permission to store information on your computer.
Hope one of this helps.

How do you install quicktime from a cd-rom

Installation

If you already have QuickTime installed, then we recommend to uninstall it first. After the uninstallation you should reboot your computer.

Now run the installer (QuickTimeInstaller.exe)
Click on the next button on the first page on the installation wizard.
Accept the license agreement.
Now you will be on the Destination Folder page. Uncheck the box for Automatic check for updates. You don't need that.
Click on the Install button. The installation will now begin.
Click on the Configure File & MIME Types button that is shown on the last page of the installation wizard. If you don't see the button, then don't worry, the file and MIME types can also be configured in the QuickTime control panel (see step 3).

File types:

At the bottom, uncheck the box in front of Notify me if other applications modify these associations.

Uncheck everything except these:
* Video - QuickTime Movie
* Miscellaneous - QuickTime HTML
Optionally you can also safely enable these:
* Audio - Sound Designer II
* Audio - GSM audio
* Audio - AMR audio
* Audio - CAF audio
* MPEG - 3GPP media
* MPEG - 3GPP2 media
* MPEG - AMC media
* MPEG - AAC audio
* MPEG - AAC audio (protected)
* MPEG - AAC audio book
* MPEG - Video (protected)
* images - MacPaint image
* images - PICT image
* images - QuickTime image
* images - SGI image
* images - TGA image
* images - JPEG2000 image

MIME Types:

At the bottom, uncheck the box in front of Notify me if other applications modify these associations.

Uncheck everything except these:
* Streaming - SDP stream descriptor
* Streaming - RTSP stream descriptor

* Audio - MIDI
* Audio - AMR audio
Optionally you can also safely enable these:

The resource cannot be displayed The page you are looking for cannot be opened by your browser because it has a file name extension that your browser does not accept....

RESOLUTION loadTOCNode(1, 'resolution'); To resolve this problem, make sure that the Accept header of the client request matches the MIME type that is specified for the requested content file name extension on the server. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Start IIS Manager. To do this, click Start, click Run, type inetmgr.exe, and then click OK. 2. In IIS Manager, expand the server name, expand Web sites, and then click the Web site that you want to modify. 3. In Features View, double-click MIME Types. 4. Double-click the MIME type that you want to modify. 5. In the Edit MIME type dialog box, type the appropriate MIME type for the content file name extension in the MIME Type box.

Note You can also set the MIME type of the content file name extension to */* to accept any MIME type
