Safari update 14.0.1 issue uploading files

Same here. After updating Safari to 14.0.1 I was unable to upload any files. Called Apple support on 11/16/2020. They had me on hold for 45 minutes. When they finally connected me with a technician, I was on the line with him for another 40 minutes and resolved nothing. He suggested that I install Chrome or Firefox. Unbelievable, Apple installs a crappy update, they can’t fix it, and their solution is to install someone else’s software.

I have spoken to an Apple advisor as well, it appears they are not really equipped to fix this. it is important to post as many bug reports as possible about this for it to get priority attention: https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

@Tumbach CommandR will re-install the OS that your computer originally came with...

If you want to install a specific MacOS different from what yours originally came with, follow this link instead

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683

Clicking on the MacOS version you do want, will bring you to the MacAppStore download page for that version

Once it finishes downloading it will prompt you to install it

I tried CommandR first, but it prompted me to install HighSierra for my 2018 MBP

I wanted to remain on Mojave so I followed the steps above and now I'm good to go

Yes it is Safari 14.0.1 issue in Mojave - logged multiple times with Apple.

I just went through this tonight with 5(!) different tech people. The issue is that the last Mojave/Safari update messed up. They recommended either a) installing and running Chrome browser or b) upgrading Mojave to Catalina. They provided the webpage https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 to obtain Catalina without upgrading OS all the way to Big Sur. I ran the install for Catalina and the problem was solved.

It’s http://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ but maybe that’s only available for users with a developer ID.

Can’t stress enough that everyone report this. You could try here too: https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

Widespread problem for Safari in Mojave

My solution is here, to go back to Safari 14.0, where uploads work

ANSWER - method to downgrade from Safari 14.0.2/14.0.1/Mojave (multiple problems eg loading files)

I was able to get back to uploading files from Safari by regressing to Safari 13.1.3 when I updated to OS Catalina. I refuse to update Safari until this bug is fixed. You may get some relief from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 . I stress..."MAY". For Apple to suggest installing a different browser, "Chrome", seems more than a bit silly...recommending that you use someone else's browser! Apple, you are dropping the ball big time by either a) refusing, or b) unable to fix the bug. For users who have not yet updated Safari (or updated their iOS which seems to include the latest Safari), I recommend turning "OFF" your "auto-update" and checking before making any OS or Safari updates.

1. This problem is solved by going to the website you want to got.
2. Go to Safari Menu File
3. Select Preferences for this website
4. Deactivate „Inhaltsblocker“ aktivieren (secon from top)

Because my Mac is in german language you have to translate.

Dear All,

Good day. I also experienced the same problem and finally I fixed it.

Just:

1. Update your Safari
2. Update your Security (it will be available Software Update section)

The problem will be solved

This is a bug for Safari 14.0.1 on macOS 10.14.6. Use the Feedback Assistant on your Mac to report the bug. Search "Feedback Assistant" on your Mac and submit the feedback to Apple. Apple Software engineers will ask you for additional information and fix the bug as soon as possible.

Eric,

I really appreciate you chiming in. But... I'm not seeing anywhere that says 'unfollow'. This is the only thread I've ever joined. I tried 'Reset' but that's not it. Attached screen shot is what I see. Any other thoughts?

The workaround I've found is to drag&drop the file you want to upload onto the choose file button (or whatever it has been titled) - which links the operation to the file allowing it to be uploaded as per normal.

Here's showing it working on Joomla media section.

And weirdly the attach file operation works fine with this forum with Safari 4.01 - it opens up a normal finder window allowing navigation to find the file. Most odd.

I have the same problem. At first I thought it was a quirk for a particular site.

But have now come across two other sites where the button to the file dialog to allow me to pick a file in the Finder does nothing.

JavaScript is enabled.

My VPN is disconnected and the sites which no longer work (they did before) are not ad-blocked.

Could it be an Extension?
