can't upload photos on tumblr with safari

hello!


basically, i have a problem on my safari. while i can post photos on tumblr using google chrome, i cannot even upload a picture, let alone post, on tumblr using safari. i can post texts without a problem on safari.


but when i want to post a photo, it happens this way: i click on photo post icon. i choose uploading from computer. the window opens and i select my picture, i click 'select'. nothing happens. it's as if i hit cancel.


this happens regardless of the picture size (several mb or 300 kb). it's not about the file type either, normally i would be uploading large jpeg files without any problem. i used tumblr on my safari on my mac for years and everything was okay, so this is something recent.


i really prefer safari over other browsers, so i don't prefer chrome. i would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this. maybe there's something wrong with my settings? i went over all of the options in settings, but nothing seemed wrong... am i missing something?


thanks in advance!

Try a restart.


Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later. Please post if this worked or not.


Isolating an issue by using another user account


If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer or by using the developer’s uninstall instructions. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once. Please post if this worked or not.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.
