Activity window

Is there a way to send direct messages? I literally JUST noticed they removed the activity window as I was looking to download some **** (no point in lying) and it took me all of 3 mins to poke around (pun intended) to find a way to still download embedded video and what not. Its been explained on here already but I guess its not as clear as it was for me. Let me know if there is a way to direct message I guess.

I hope I can solve this dilemma. It's not really gone, just changed around a bit.

First of course, you need to show the Develop menu(Safari-Prefrences-Advanced-Show Developer Menu).

Now, go to Develop-Show Page Resources.

You will most likely need to get used to the new change, but this new way is actually more helpful, as it shows what is what, ie. images, video etc. Essentially this is exactly what the Window-Activity panel displayed, cleaned up and updated.

No plugins needed.

Cheers.

So, its simple to find ACTIVITY button in new Safari!

1. Just open Safari PREFERENCES > ADVENCED > and select SHOW DEVELOP MENU IN MENU BAR

2. In menu bar choose DEVELOP > SHOW PAFE RESOURCES [ ⎇⌘A ]

3. here you can find all you want

Calm down guys it hasnt gone completly!

1. You need to enable the Develop menu (Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develope Menu)

2. A menu named 'Develop' will appear next to 'Bookmarks'

3. Click it and then click 'Show Page Resources'

And there you go! And can i just point out - Safari 6 in Mountain Lion is a massive improvment and any one who thinks that Mountain Lion is a downgrade from Lion hasn't properly checked their facts.

Cheers guys!

if you're not even going to read the post above your own, or rest of thread for that matter, please don't chime in with useless information. "Page resources" is only useful for just that, finding/accessing page resources, NOT activity. that window tells you nothing of server activity. Just because some of the people are using activity window to find page resources doesn't mean that's ALL it's used for. there are web developers and power users who actually used the activity window for ACTIVITY and that's not what page resources is for, not even remotely.

I'm not a dev, so don't get mad if I'm wrong, but doesn't the little clock tab show stuff as it's being loaded? Here's a screenshot of this very page when I refreshed it:

And this page tab to grab files:

I second this, please bring it back or provide instructios to downdgrade the OS, also as many in thie discussion, activity window was the only reason i used safari over the other browsers. Anybody knows if there is a different browser with that functionality now? thanks!

For those of you who presumably used Activity in pre-Safari 6 as I did, try the following:

1) From Safari 6, turn on the Developer tab by clicking the checkbox in Preferences | Advanced

2) Keyboard: Option-Command-A or Option-Command-I (either seems to bring up the same window)

3) If you're on a page with an embedded video, click the "Other" item in the left-hand Nav

4) Say your looking for an FLV file, you should find it in the list there

5) Dbl-Clicking it has the same behavior as it did from the the old Activity window

And I empathize with EVERYONE here and mourn the loss of a wonderful feature that is now buried deep within the Developer innards...

C'mon, Apple! Wake Up! Don't blow your shot at browser greatness!!

For those of you as confused as I was, here is what I had to do to download an FLV...

1, enable 'show developer menu' in safari > preferences > advanced

2. in the developer menu click 'show page resources'

3. after the page resource box comes up, REFRESH THE PAGE. For some reason the 'other' folder in the left nav doesn't show up until you refresh.

4. Inside the 'other' folder you'll find all the files being loaded.

5. Scroll down to the 'flv' file (it will probably have a spinner to the right of it, as it's likely the largest file being loaded.)

6. double click the file name to add it to your download queue.

WHEW.

I have yet to upgrade to ML but I've been trying other ways to download. The best I've tried to far is the RealPlayer Downloader. Very similar and easy to use. I still prefer that activity window makes a comeback in Safari. I really don't like to have applications that I didn't need before. Same goes for RSS.

Nope, it doesn't work like that. That does not show page sources being downloaded. there is NOTHING that replicates the acitivty windows actual page load status

network activity, none shown, not for plugin content.

resource activity, shows resource, a flv file, it does not show file size, download rate, or heck anything at all about it's status. it simply gives me a file name and path. i don't want file properties i want file activity. thus the whole point of the activity window.

To download YouTube videos, the free and open source Miro is very good.

http://www.getmiro.com

I got it recently when it became necessary to find a replacement for the Java-based YouTube download service I was using.

See here:

http://www.getmiro.com/using-miro/

Note the "Sources" section in the left column. You can add YouTube to it. Search YouTube using Miro. Miro provides a Download button. Sadly it doesn't seem to work for Vimeo.

1) Go to Safari Preferences -> Advanced tab -> check the box saying "Show Develop Menu"

2) Make sure that the window with your video is on top so you can see it. DO NOT PLAY THE VIDEO!!!

3) Go to the tool bar -> Develop menu (between Bookmarks and Window), select "Show Page Resources"

4) NOW you can play the video. Watch the LEFT-HAND panel as you press play.

5) A dropdown file should appear as soon as you press play. Its called "Other". OPEN IT.

6) Somewhere in the "Other" folder will be your video file. It's the one with the loading sign next to it. Select it.

7) Then go to the RIGHT-HAND side panel. There will be a section titled "Location" and under that the "FULL URL" of your video file. Copy it.

8) Paste it into the Safari address bar. Hit Alt+Enter. Download will begin immediately.

9) Enjoy your video.

NOTES: DON'T play/load your video until the Page Resources thing shows at the bottom of your screen. Reload your webpage if you have to. Otherwise the important "Other" folder will not show up and you won't find your video file. GOOD LUCK.

O_Andrews with all due respect the only monumental thing about Safari 6 is the way it

monumentally slows down web sites upload and my Mac Pro is less then a year old and it has plenty of memory, reinstalling safari 5.1.7 did the trick and speed it my internet connection again, woof

Again I hate the fact that the search window is now integrated with the address window, it is now

necessary to type the .com in an address or safari will assume it is a search, stupid stupid stupid.

I hate the missing progress window one can basically seat waiting 15 minutes with put knowing if the web site will ever upload or not.

Apple is really messing things up.

FM,

I'm good up until step #9, because at step #8 what shows up in my Downloads is a file with the following characteristics:

Name: videoplayback.flv

Size: 1.8 MB

Kind: Movie

No matter what the duration of the YouTube video clip, the file size is always the same - 1.8 MB. Nothing will open it.

Lion 10.7.4

Safari 6.0 (7536.25)

Thoughts?
