By default, Mac OSX (before 10.3) has 'Turn on full Keyboard access' switched off in System Preferences.Turn this on and ensure 'For Windows and dialogs, highlight' is set to 'any control'. Access this via Apple - System Preferences - Hardware - Keyboard and Mouse - Keyboard Shortcuts.
If you are using Firefox:
Firefox 1.5 and below: If this still does not work, type 'about:config' into the browser address bar and change the 'accessibility:tabfocus' value from its default OSX setting of 1 - 'Text field form controls only' to 7 - 'All form controls and hyperlinks'.
Firefox 2: If this still does not work, type 'about:config' into the browser address bar and change the 'ui.key.contentAcess' value from its default OSX setting of 1 to 4.
If you are using Safari: check the version. Safari 1.x does not fully support keyboard access. Safari 1.2 and above does.
If you are using Mac/Internet Explorer and find the navigation does not expand or collapse with keyboard navigation you must either use a mouse to navigate or change browser. Also, use mouse clicks to close buttons, etc where you cannot tab out.
This is a generic Flash bug that has not been fixed for Firefox (PC or Mac) or Safari. To overcome this issue you can either use the text version or use Internet Explorer.
Please note that keyboard navigation of entire content (including navigation and Flash content) is most successfully accomplished using Internet Explorer on PC.
The standard use of the tab key can be used to access the fast forward and rewind buttons on the Flash Video Player control bar. Clicking on the 'enter' key will not activate these buttons, this is a known issue. However clicking the spacebar will activate the buttons once they are the selected item.
Safari implements their focus/tabbing in a different (and arguably incorrect) way. The only way around this is to use [Shift] + [Tab] to go back one link from the second.
Your computer may have insufficent RAM to run many applications at one time. Try shutting down other applications and only opening one at a time (for instance do not have Acrobat Reader and Flash open at the same time).
Browser and computer settings may be set to download and not open these files.
If you are having problems opening the Word (.doc) or PDF files, right-click the mouse (press CTRL and click on a Macintosh) and select 'save target as...' or 'save link as...' then choose a location to save the file.
If you do not have these options and still have problems, you may need to update your browser settings.
Changing your browser settings
The following instructions explain how to change the settings for Internet Explorer 5.2 on Mac OSX so that the browser will open a document (.doc) file in Microsoft Word.
It is a known issue that the print function currently on Flash player versions above 9.0.47.0 on Mac computers do not print. This bug is documented on the Adobe site here http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-26. The suggested work around is to revert to any Flash player version before 9.0.115.0. Flash player versions can be downloaded from the Adobe website.
If you want to printout the video captions click on the text version link and you can print all the videos' captions.
In Macromedia Flash Player 8 and later, Flash Player security for local content restricts network communication for certain kinds of content that is stored on your local computer, unless you give permission. This security measure protects you from potentially harmful content that could be used to send sensitive information stored on your computer or local network to locations on the Internet. To find out more about this please go to: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4c093f20
If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 2 then you will need to [control] + click to open the document.
This is a known issue that is related to the Mac OS/X platform. On Mac OS/X on Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers the first time the video player is used the video player will only show the loading animation. Click on the browser refresh button and the video will load. All subsequent videos played through the video player will now load correctly for this user session.
This is a known issue that is related to wmv (Windows Media File) files on the Mac platform. You may get the message 'The Specified stream type is not recognised'. On some browsers it may still play despite this warning. In any case, wherever there is a .wmv file there will also be a .mov (Quicktime) file which will work natively on a Mac.
Firefox does not provide the ability to only print the content frame, it will instead try to print the whole frameset (meaning the banner and navigation too). Right-click on the page you wish to print and choose 'This Frame' - 'Open Frame in New Tab' then print from that. Your whole page will now print correctly.
Sometimes Flash content is not printed. If this happens you can right-click (or [Control][+] click in Mac) on the Flash content and choose Print from the submenu.
