Cosmopod 4.5.1 crashes Safari 5.1

You are probably looking in the Library folder under your Home directory. In Finder if you click on your username, you see a Library folder, but that's not the correct one.

You need the one that's in the root of your hard drive. Click the drive icon in Finder, typically named "Macinstosh HD", and navigate down the Library path from there.

For terminal users: it's /Library/Application support/SIMBL/Plugins/ instead of ~/Library/Application support/SIMBL/Plugins/ :-)

Hope this helps.

Thanks aal1. I've been recloning from a backup and every time I did Software Update...CRASH goes Safari. I appreciate pointing this out and hope the Cosmopod folks get their act together and release a Lion compatible version as well.

I don't have Cosmopod installed, and Safari crashes anyway.

So, I suspect problem is somewhere else.

Could you please start your own new topic? Then copy and paste your crash report for us to look at here?

AdBlock has been causing tons of problems with Safari. So without seeing your report, I'd say getting rid of that to test, would be your first move. If that doesn't work, start your own topic. 🙂

Thanks Erik.

I was looking in the wrong libary too.

All is well, now that Cosmopod is gone.

Tried to contact them too, no response since OS X Lion came on...

I downgraded to Safari 5.05 , so Cosmopod (and clicktoflash 1.5.5) still works.

Hope they upgrade it soon!

I, too, downgraded. Actually, I consider it an upgrade. Here are a couple of helpful links to get our fellow malcontents back to the future.....

It was much less of a goat rope than I expected. TIP: As mentioned in an earlier post, the SIMBL folder will be found in Library/App Support under the Mac Hard Drive, not in the Library of your Home Folder.

When you knock this out, just put CosmoPod back where you found it and you'll be back in business.

thanks you guys for the advice on how to delete i'm sure its a great app but it made my safari useless i though ti was going to lose my bookmarks having to completely reinstall

I believe that everyone is still waiting for a CospoPod update to be released.Have you heard by any chance when is that gonna happen?

p.s.: no updates from developer regarding this matter yet and it's been a while.

Emailed them a couple weeks ago, no response

I agree. It has been a while and I have found the CosmoPod plugin too useful to wait for their update. It just made more sense to revert fo Safari 5.0.3

I followed the directions and restored to 5.0.3. There were some warnings about not replacing a file with a folder and 5.0.3 would not play any Flash video, even though both Java and Flash were installed. Fortunately I experimented on a backup. I have to say, I did miss the blazing speed of 5.1.

I too Emailed the developer with no reply. If there's a technical reason they can't make this work, they need to go on MacUpdate and reply to their paid customers and just let us know. No excuse for hiding.

I had the same problem when I installed Snow Leopard on my original 24in iMac. I bought an alternative program that works well called Jaksta. It is currently installed and functioning on my 27in. iMac running OS 10.8.2. It does the job but does not have all the CosmoPod features and has a slightly different format. I missed my CosmoPod so much that I finally had to go on eBay and buy a used 24in. 2008 iMac with a new 1 TB hard drive with Lion already installed. Needless to say CosmoPod did not work on Lion so I reformatted the HD and installed Leopard OS 10.5.0 upgraded to 10.5.8, bought CosmoPod again, and installed it on the used iMac. I cannot help it, CosmoPod works beautifully on the OS 10.5.8 machine and I have given up cursing and swearing (drinking and carousing are next, I don't smoke so that's out), even though I now have three iMacs sitting here, one devoted exclusively to my beloved CosmoPod, I am now a happy camper! Hey, it's only money and you can't take it with you and I sure as heck ain't leaving to my kids. Where there's a will and enough money, there's a way! If you want a Cosmopod substitute operational on Mountain Lion then JAKSTA is your program.
