After installing Safari 5.1 my Citrix plugin stopped working. Restoring Safari 5.0 fixed it. Is there any way to get Safari 5.1 and Citrix?
I'm maxed out on Snow leopard on my Intel Core duo macbook, which will not handle 64 bit apps.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
i have exact the same problem with citrix and goglobal graphon startup on safari 5.1. with safari 5.0 or firefox does it work.
Had same problem (10.6.8 and Safari 5.1). My Safari 5.1 was running in 32-bit Mode. When I resartet Safari 5.1 in 64-bit (after rebooting) mode the Citrix plugin worked again as before. Hope that helps for you as well.
Thanks. Safari was configured for 32 bit mode for some add-ins. after configuring 64 bit an restarting the browser citrix works.
GoGlobal doesn't work after this setting. This is apparently another Problem.
I'd love to try this fix for my Citrix problem. How do I restart Safari in 64-bit mode?
Can I do that on an Intel Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) processor?
As I understand the specs, I won't be able to run Lion.
Use Finder and right click (aka two finders on pad), then "get info", uncheck 32 bit mode. Re-boot and you are good to go. Or you could down load Chrome and run it. Just dont select "download" when lauching citrix. Select already installed which is on the right hand side.
I re-downloaded Safari 5.1 and re- installed it. After rebooting, I did a 'get info' on the Finder desktop, but do not find any checkbox for 32 bit mode. I've searched 'get-info' for Safari as well, but don't find this checkbox there either. Am I looking in the wrong places?
As expected, Citrix broke again.
I will try to be more specific. Using Finder, select applications on the left. Then scroll until you see Safari. Then right click and click on get info. This works In Snow Leopard. You then should see start in 32 bit mode. If not checked, then you are starting in 64 bit mode.
Don't forget chrome is an option too.
Thank you for your reply. I'm running Snow Leopard. I'd looked at the 'get info' for Safari, but didn't see anything about 32 bit mode. After a bit of Internet research, I see that there is an 'Open in 32-bit mode' checkbox for some users. Unfortunately that checkbox doesn't exist on my computer, which has an Intel core duo processor (32-bit, not 64-bit capable). That means the solution of switching to 64-bit mode won't work for my computer. For now, I'll stick with Safari 5.0.5. If I ever do upgrade to 5.1, I can always use Firefox for Citrix access. I'm not a fan of Chrome. Thanks again for your help. I'm hoping to get a new MacBook for Christmas.
I had the same problem. I am running Safari 5.1 and Lion. I switched Safari to 64 bit and now it launches Citrix Viewer but then Citrix Viewer quits unexpectedly.
Core Duo macs do not have a checkbox to change form 64 to 32 bit mode. You are stuck with 32 bit mode and Citrix does not work if you have upgraded to Safari 5.1. Downgrading to 5.05 allowed Citrix to work again on my core duo macbook pro. I'm going to stay at this Safari version until the problem is solved. Connectivity with my office is more important than any new features in Safari 5.1.
I am having the same problem as the rest, I have unchecked the 32 bit mode box (well, it wasn't checked to begin with) and I have tried using chrome. Neither are working - With Safari I get an error message about java for cocoa. and with chrome I get locked in a loop about downloading the plug-in. Any other suggestions? I'm a fairly new mac user, but am fairly computer literate.
Thanks in advance!
I can't help on the java thing, but I can on chrome I think. Don't click on the download. You will get in a loop. Instead click on already downloaded. This is on the upper right hand side. This will work provided it is really already downloaded.
How did you roll back the Safari. I have the same issue and want to roll back as well.
What I did to roll back safari what suggested by another user...
This worked for me to regain Citrix functionality. You can also just use the current version of Firefox which does not have this problem. Good luck!
Thanks. I did download Firefox and it worked fine. But I like Safari better. I followed your instructions and now have Safari 5.0.5 and Citrix working again,
Safari 5.1 breaks Citrix
