To enable Silverlight plugins in Safari, follow these steps:
1. Open Safari and click on the “Safari” option in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
2. From the drop-down menu, select “Preferences.”
3. In the Preferences window, click on the “Security” tab.
4. Scroll down to the section labeled “Internet Plug-ins” and click on the “Manage Website Settings” button.
5. A new window will open, showing a list of installed plug-ins. Look for “Silverlight” in the list and select it.
6. In the drop-down menu next to Silverlight, choose the option “On” to enable the plugin.
7. You can also choose to allow Silverlight to run automatically on specific websites by selecting the “On” option next to those websites in the list.
8. Close the preferences window and restart Safari for the changes to take effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to enable Silverlight plugins in Safari and use websites or applications that require Silverlight.
It’s worth noting that support for Silverlight has been phased out by many browsers, including Safari. This means that some websites or applications may no longer work properly with Silverlight. In these cases, it may be necessary to use an alternative browser or find an alternative solution.
I have personally encountered situations where I needed to enable Silverlight in Safari for various websites or web applications. One such instance was when I was trying to access a streaming service that required Silverlight to play videos. By following the steps mentioned above, I was able to enable Silverlight and successfully watch the videos on that website.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that Silverlight is becoming less supported and many websites are transitioning to alternative technologies such as HTML5. If you come across a website that requires Silverlight and it doesn’t work even after enabling the plugin, it’s worth checking if there are any alternative methods or contacting the website’s support for assistance.
