Safari - Black Screen

In loading a page in Safari on the iPad, the screen went black. It was as if you had gone fullscreen with nothing to be displayed. I tried the finger motions for shrinking it down, clearing History, Cookies, and Cache, and nothing is restoring it. Rotating the screen will display an address bar, but only during the rotation animation. Once screen is positioned, it disappears again. It won't load any other sites, and I'm out of ideas.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Hold down the home and sleep keys until the iPad reboots. See if you still have any issue.

  • Safari black screen; Firefox OK

    The "black screen" posts are old, but nothing I read applies.  [My Safari works with kuler.adobe.com, as discussed on old posts]  I fixed some things that were flagged on Browser compatibility (old browsers) and did validation tests, and the page in question just passed.  I'm using Mac 10.6 (Intel) and Safari 4.0.3.  My background colors are black, but I doubt that's the cause of a totally black screen.  Safari has some "developers' tools, but nothing made any difference.
    The page I'm looking at (or trying to look at) is http://www.jfigueras.com/newsite/addedpage.html
    This is an html version of my template.  The links will not work because I've not uploaded the linked pages. 
    All ideas welcome.  Joann

    Thanks for checking and for sending me in the right direction.  Although this computer is about a month old and came with software, it apparently has the wrong Safari and needs a system update.  I won't be in a place to do the system update till next week (update time here: 15 hours).  Then I can install the updated Safari and hope the black screen is gone.  Very good news that you saw the html on your browsers.
    I used your http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/, which found things not found by http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input
    ... now if I could get my links to keep the colors assigned in their classes, I would be near the end.
    Thank you,  Joann

  • Safari Black Screen of pdf pages

    How can I open pdf files with Safari 5.1.8 and not get a black screen?

    I'm searching for an answer to this as well. The PDF is actually there, so if you control-click or right-click you can download the pdf and open it in Acrobat or Preview.

  • Safari black screen and no letters when typing

    I have just purchased my first iPhone, the 16 gig 3GS and having issues with it. I immediately updated the firmware to the 3.1.2 when I got home and never really played with it upon initial purchase so I do not have anything to determine what exactly is the issue. Here is are my problems...
    Note: I did not back up the phone prior to updating the firmware.
    Letters typed, whether in text messages, contact information, the search bar... do not show up. The cursor moves and the letters are "there", but on the screen it is still empty. I do get numbers in the keypad when dialing. Upon restoring the phone at one point, the letters started showing up, then after opening safari, they disappeared, which brings me to my next issue...
    Safari and other internet browsers, they all seem to load a page, but the only thing you see is a black screen and a black scroll bar where the web page should load. I have tried two other browsers and met with the same result.
    I have attempted to restore the phone on two separate computers multiple times. I deleted all back ups, redownloaded the update to make sure that nothing was corrupt, reinstalled itunes twice and hard reset the phone as well multiple times.
    Still, there are no letters showing up and the browser screens remain black.
    Is anyone else dealing with this issue? Any constructive advice or solving techniques would be very helpful. Being my first iphone, please be patient if I do not understand exactly what you are saying.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

  • HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR AND when using it to open sites in safari I have no issue until I go to a link page that is a pdf file or I am trying to save the screen info as a pdf. I only get a black screen with no data, cannot find solution in help menu

    HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR (previously, still have 13.3 MCbook pro which works captures what I am looking for an answer to)
    when i open sites in safari the page opens fine if it is not a pdf based page.
    Once i open a site that has a link to another page that is a pdf based page the page comes up as a black screen with no info showing
    If I open a site that gices me an open to save a file to a word, excel type document or a pdf , everything works fine until I try to save the information to a PDF and again the screen goes black
    I have tried the safari help site but to no avail, does anyone have a solution to thid problem. (I do have the abode ofr mac program loaded)

    If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

  • When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

    I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

    Hi
    I understand  - sorry to have missed your point before now.
    Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
    Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

  • How do I open pdf's in Safari 5.0.5? Just a black screen

    Each time I try to open a pdf file when using Safari all I get is a BLACK SCREEN. Moving the cursor all over the screen produces nothing. This is a consistent problem with any pdf that I encounter on any site. Anyone else experience the problem or better yet found a solution???

    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the PDF Browser Plug-in to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari for changes to take effect.
