OS X :: Safari/iTunes Can't Connect To Web - "missing Semicolon"?
Mar 4, 2009
strange problem here. Was using the Safari 4 beta happily this evening on my early 2008 MacBook Pro (running 10.5.6) - computer slept as it was on battery, and when I woke it, Safari suddenly wouldn't connect to anything at all. I reset my router and modem, as they sometimes get flaky, but this didn't fix the problem.
On closer examination, I found that this seems to be an Apple apps problem - neither Safari, nor iTunes, nor Software Update will connect, but Firefox will (I'm using it to type this). I've tried uninstalling the beta, rolling back to an earlier build of WebKit, turning the computer on and off again. Nothing seems to help - just keep getting the same "can't connect to server" message.
I checked Console log and found this - every time Safari opens.
Safari[522]: CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon in dictionary.
This message started appearing when the problem started.
Ideas? Don't really want to have to archive and install unless I have to. Has anyone encountered this before?

In one document in MS Word 2004, the language keeps reverting to French. I try resetting both the default language and the language choice as English (Tools > Language...), however, rather quickly it reverts back to French. This messes up the spell check. What can I do to keep it on English? (With a google search, I did find a 2005 post that mentions this as a systemic problem. But that forum didn't seem to offer a solution: [URL:....] Has this been settled elsewhere?)Second problem, perhaps related. MS Word automatically corrects some spelling as I type. However, in the document with the French problem, the text is being corrected in a weird way. It's not accepting a semi-colon ; next to a word. Instead, it inserts a space between the word and the semi-colon. What's that all about and how do I change it? Are these problems related?

When I launch safari 5.1 (Mac Lion) today, I found address bar missing. I clicked "Show toolbar" selected at the top of the View menu, and then "customize toolbar", no response. ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3632452?start=0&tstart=0 ) I remove all extentions and disable all plug-ins, and click "customize toolbar", no response.I clicked "reset safari", no way ! I unstall safari, and then reinstall safari 5.1, the problem is the same .

Then I minimised the Safari window, and when I returned, the bookmark bar has gone. Preferences says that it's still on 'show bookmark bar' is ticked. I've tried quitting safari, I've rebuilt permissions. The bookmarks are still there - I can 'show all bookmarks' from the bookmark menu - just the bar has gone
Any ideas where it might have gone to and how I can get it back - hadn't realised how much I depended on it for casual browsing unti it wasn't there.

After updating my OS X which brought Safari up to 5.1.7 the saved links I had in my dock are blank. Even though i can click in that area and the pages will load. I can't figure out how to fix this.   Also, when I drag a link from the address bar to the desktop the icon that appears is nothing more than a blank white page. Â

It seems that since installing SL, my home icon in Safari keeps going missing. I can add it to the toolbar and it'll stay there only until I close the app. Upon re-opening, it's gone. I don't know that it's related to SL, but the problem has only started since the upgrade.

I can access my on-line bank using Internet Explorer but I can't with Safari. When I try I get the following message "The page [URL] has content of MIME type "application/x-java-vm". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed." I have used the Help menu to list the installed plug-ins and there are only 2 x-java- plug-ins listed. Where do I get the missing plug in and how do I load it into Safari?

My NEWS bookmark folder and its content of over 30 sites has disappeared on my iMac, my iPhone and my iPad. To retrieve every link one by one would take a long, long time. I have both iCloud and Time Machine backups. Can someone please tell me how I can retrieve the folder from a backup?

After realizing how much faster Safari is than Firefox at just about everything, I've decided to make the switch. However, along with mouse gestures, the thing that is really holding me back is that there doesn't seem to be auto-scrolling. The little icon that pops up when you press the middle mouse button and scrolls the page automatically. Is there really no auto-scroll or am I missing something?

Im looking for feed back as to reason why my safari menu bar and dock are suddenly hidden from the screen and how to correct this. Has this happened to anyone else and were you able to fix it. I'm a bit confused since it has never done this before and I didn't make any changes in settings.Â

since the 10.7.4 update, I have the url shortcuts icon missing in my dock: When draging a new URL from safari to the dock, it's the same problem. The icon is invisible but there is a gap between the other icons and the name of the url's page is displayed when passing the cursor. This problem is only with URL shortcuts and no with jpg or pdf or mp3 or folder sortcuts etc.. I have already reboot the dock and make a disk permissions check and repair. Restarting my computer doesn't solve the problem. Safari Version 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)Â

I have a home network running 3 PC's(with XP) and 2 Macs (with Tiger OS X 10.4.8). Mysteriously one of my Macs(MacMini) refuses to show a Network icon in the Finder sidebar? I have used the Go > Network menu to try to get a Network icon, but this does work. Yesterday I did a scheduled Mac OS system update, and it seems that since then I have not been able to see/get a Network icon in my Finder.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? PS - I am able to use the old 'GO > Connect to Computer' method, then type in the smb://myOfficePc, and access shared files on other PCs on the network. So networking is configured properly on this MacMini.

A couple weeks ago, I attempted to download an extension for Safari (unfortunately, I can't remember the name), and there wasn't any indication that it was being downloaded. Upon quitting Safari immediately afterward, when I opened up Safari's preference window, I noticed that some of the preference icons were missing. How to restore these icons?

I upgraded to iTunes 9.0.1 and I used to have Link Arrows next to the songs so when I clicked on them It would bring me directly to the iTunes store to the song and artist of the selected song. Is this feature now missing or is it hidden in a preference box somewhere?

I run OSX 10.4.11 on a G5 and quite often when I start up the text is fragmented in both applications and menus. In Safari the address has random letters missing. Everything runs OK I'm just worried something more serious is wrong.

All my music has covers in iTunes Library. But after i updated to iOS 5.1 they are missing on my devices.
It happens every time i check "convert higher bit rate songs to 192/256 kbps" on iTunes 10.6 (40) on my Mac.
On the screenshot (iPad 2010 running iOS 5.1) Bon Iver's album copied by default settings, and Coldplay's album converted to 192 kbps.BTW on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) all covers are OK even when convert feature is ON.

I have been using iTunes with PC for about 5 years or more and never really had any problems ripping my CD collection, even when I switched at one point to using dbpowerAMP and then importing into itunes manually. I'm using itunes to rip again now.
Now I have my first mac (mac mini 2010). I am starting to import parts of my CD collection that I never had room for on my old notebook PC.
So before I went to bed last night I tried to rip and import 3 CDs using itunes exclusively now to do the ripping because I have come to the realization that itunes plus AAC is good enough for my ears and especially my equipment (ipod classic 160gb & Senn PX-100's). Now these 3 CDs I know for a fact the iTunes Store sells and definitely has the artwork and track info for.
Well, the first 2 CDs loaded artwork and track info fine after I remembered to check in the settings about the artwork anyway..
Then comes the 3rd and newest CD I tried, Eagles OF Death Metal's "Heart On". I stick it in the mac mini's slot *giggles* and then the iTunes pane at the top center of the screen keeps scrolling and saying something like "searching for grace-note whatever".. Then after about 2 or 3 minutes of that it just gives up and acts like it doesn't know the CD and lists the songs as "track 1, track 2" etc..
Now this CD is immaculate. It has been ripped before on my PC with no problem. I double checked to make sure the iTunes store sells it because in the past I've had to download my own artwork if it's something they don't sell in their store.
So I'm at a loss here I don't want to have to enter all this info manually as I have about 500 CDs to rip and only being on number 3 I didn't know if it was just this one being trouble, or what to expect how many are going to do this?
