internet plug-ins with Safari
Dear All,
New Mac user...so be gentle!
My work site requires me to down load an internet plug-in (Safari comes up with the message - "Safari cannot find internet plug-in"). After following companies directions and installing the plug-in I still get the same message when I try to visit the site.
This is a brand new intel mac...10.4.4
Any ideas why this is happening?
Many thanks to all inadvance.

The page "F5 Network Access" has content of MIME type "application/x-f5-sslvpn". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed.
Many thanks for your help

Many thanks for your help, but as I said I am new to Macs and I'm not sure how to do the things you said.....sorry! any chance for step by step intructions......again, many thanks for your help.
Cheers
1. Click the application's icon in the Finder. (You can click and hold on Safari in the Dock and select "Show Item in Finder" to go directly to it)
2. From the Finder File menu, choose Get Info (or press Command-I).
3. Select the checkbox named "Open using Rosetta."
4. Close the Get Info window.
Now, when you double-click the application, it will open with Rosetta, and any non-Universal plug-ins should work.
Many thanks! But..........there was no box for "open with Rosetta"...infact I cant even to seem to find anything on this computer named Rosetta?
Many thanks for your help.........

I will load a page and then when I try to scroll down Safari completely chokes, even after the page is supposedly fully loaded according to the progress bar. I have the latest version of flash installed and it still doesn't help. Ideas anyone?
I have found this as well... those MySpace pages can gets some really crusty code and often have 5-10 pieces of Flash/Windows Media embedded in them.
A Finder window pops open with Safari selected. Now go to File -> Get Info, and you should see the Rosetta option in the Get Info window for Safari.
This will slow Safari down, but your plugin needed for that one site should work.
excellent........many thanks for your help....now working.....just gotta get the rest going now.
kind regards

I followed your instructions and set safari to open with rosetta. This worked great for that particular site, but now when I try to view secure sites like banking ones, it tells me to "enable Java" (which it is already). Once I uncheck the "open with rosetta" box, these sites work fine, but obviously the other one doesnt?
Any clues as to a way around this without having to reconfigure all the time?
Many thanks to all in advanced

Well, it seems that one of your sites is working only under rosetta while the other is not. What I would suggest as the easiest solution is installing another browser and have one run under rosetta and the other natively. Have the browser you like the most run natively (starts and works faster) and have the other run under rosetta and just use it for the site you metioned above.
I would suggest Camino, which is a really great browser.
Edit: oh, by the way, you mentioned you run OSX 10.4.4, if you're still running that, do a system update, 10.4.5 has some important security updates!

Have you tried making a copy of Safari and call it "Safari Rosetta" or something and set just that version to open with Rosetta? Just remember that if Safari gets updated, you'll need to make a new copy of the original to update it. I don't have an intel mac myself to test this, but it may work.
This is an amazing idea, if this ends up working,
then you hit a new level of troubleshooting on Mac.
