Suddenly New York Times website not working in Safari

I often leave the NYT website up on a tab in Safari, where it auto-refreshes every five minutes or so.  Worked fine earlier today.  Now I get "Page Not Found" posted by NYT with some suggestions and a short list of content.  This is on my iMac, see identical behavior on my MacBook Pro with Safari.  But: the site works fine in Firefox, on both machines.  I have the NYT extension in Safari on the iMac but not on the MBP.  No other extensions.
Did run into some kind of malware yesterday when looking up song lyrics in Safari, somehow got a popup from url "security-lmeniagy-chk.in/js?t=<bunch of stuff>" that claimed to be "from the FBI" and tried to extort money; had to Force Quit Safari and hold Shift on the re-launch so as not to reopen that page, but after that Safari seemed fine.  Or maybe there's some lingering problem?  (But this wouldn't explain the behavior on the MBP.)  Kinda puzzling.  Thanks for any tips.  (Safari v6.0.5, OSX 10.8.5)

Thanks for the tip!  I checked for malicious adware per Safe Mac instructions, found nothing suspicious. (Doubted DNS or network or other causes because is Safari-specific problem.) Meanwhile, the problem has gone away!  I suspect the NYT folks found and fixed something, because all I did was refresh their page in Safari (on iMac and MBP) and voila!, it displayed correctly. 
Might it be useful for Apple to know more about this problem, since it appeared to expose a vulnerability in Safari that was not present in Firefox?  I'd suggest contacting NYT to see if they can enlighten.
Thanks again for help.

  • Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

    This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
    Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
    I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
    For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

    If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

  • Can't open links on New York Times website

    I have the New York Times as my home page. Until yesterday, I had no issues accessing any of the content within (except for the new Premium articles.) However, when I click on any article, I get an error back that says no data found. If I log in through Explorer, I don't have this issue.
    Just me?

    Thanks a lot for the tip! I wrote to the NYTimes webmaster but did not get a reply. However, the next day my problem was solved and I could access all content as I did previously. Either a coincidence or...? I'll take it either way and thanks again!

  • Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

    Safari version: 5.1.7
    OS: Windows 7
    Hi,
    I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
    If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    GREAT NEWS!!!!
    I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
    Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
    So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
    echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";   
    right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
    This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
    I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
    ***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
    I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!

  • Javascript time counters not working with Safari 5.1.4

    New Safari 5.1.4 made my website javascript time counters frozen and not working. I am using jQuery library on my site.
    You can see the preview of the problemhere: http://headiil.ee/
    What is the problem with this new Safari update and how can it be solved?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • On the New York Times website, why do I end at the login prompt? I am a subscriber and logged in.

    www.nytimes.com. Mac OS X.
    When I email, I often end at the login prompt. I am subscriber already logged in. This does not happen on PCs with firefox and does not happen on my mac with Safire. I clear the cache and this works sometimes but not other times.

    I have a similar problem.
    I get logged in at some points, but not others. Usually I get looped around to no avail.

  • Can no longer read "Comments" on New York Times website

    I updated Flash Player on Monday to the latest version, but today (Tuesday) find I can no longer read the "comments" attached to various articles on the NYT website.  Neither of our other home machines (an early iPad and a win7 laptop) have this problem, nor were they updated.  I contacted NYT, and they said they can't duplicate the problem, nor are others reporting the problem.
    My system is Windows 8 64bit, (not 8.1 and not touch-enabled).  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Many thanks.

    The thing is... The NYT comments DON'T require or use Flash Player.  They use Java, which is a separate plugin and has nothing to do with Flash.
    How do I know? I disabled Flash and went to their pages:
    There are the comments with NO Flash Player activated.
    Try updating Java.
    And BTW, you can't update Flash Player on an iPad, because there never was a Flash Player for iOS.

  • Time machine not working since Safari 4 upgrade

    I had all kinds problems installing the Safari 4 upgrade (from 4beta) a couple of days ago - it knocked out everything that talks to the internet. I finally got that sorted by reinstalling, but since then TM has been unable to complete backups. I get the following from the Time Machine Widget thingy I saw recommended on other threads:

    Hi - I'm the original poster, but I seem to have two IDs on here. Duh!
    I'm still having this problem. To be honest, I'm feeling rather anxious about messing with my TC, so today I tried running a fresh TM backup to a USB drive, thinking I would then have everything safe while I tried to resolve the problem. I was pretty surprised to get a very similar error again:

    Clearly, this all stems back to the dodgy Safari installation a few weeks ago. Is a fresh installation likely to fix the problem file? Having had problems with Safari installations on two separate occasions, where it wiped out all internet communications, I am quite anxious about running another install. It's bringing me out in a sweat.... I don't recall doing anything 'unusual' to my system config, but I wonder if somewhere along the line I've changed something that caused these problems. Our other Macbook has had no problems with upgrades.
    If someone could spell it out to me gently, I would be very grateful!
    Thanks

  • Unable to use interective photo galleries (i.e. New York Times' before/after Japan tsunami damages, and others, also in NYT website) Had to use Google Chrome, even though not my default browser.

    On 03/13/2011, I could not use an interactive photo gallery in the New York Times website. I had a slide on each picture which showed the before and after the tsunami damage, in Japan.
    I had to use Google Chrome, though Firefox is my default browser.
    I had the same problem with the photo gallery of dresses during and after the Oscar event.

    That site relies upon JavaScript to use the before and after feature. Make sure JavaScript is enabled, to do that open the Options window, go to the Content panel and make sure "Enable JavaScript" is selected.
    If you have an add-on such as NoScript that blocks JavaScript, you need to set it to allow scripts to run on that site.

  • Just got hit with the New York Times Virus!

    Hey guys,
    While visiting the New York Times website I got a pop up saying I need to click to get antivirus for my computer, of course I said no but am I infected and should I reformat my drive. I won't post any links, just Google it yourself and you can see this is all over the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Of if anyone had encountered this.

    It's actually a 'rogue virus' that wants you to click OK to buy a solution for a nonexistent problem on your machine. Same thing happened to me on Saturday, and a few million N.Y. Times internet readers. So I called the Apple helpline and was told to reset Safari, being sure to click "clear history, empty the cache, and remove all cookies". And that was that. (To reset, click "Safari" on the top bar, click "reset", and click the three options I mentioned. No need to reformat anything or spend more than a couple of minutes on this phony 'warning'.

  • I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

    I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works  fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

    You can ask the NY Times why not.
    Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari.  Apps are up to their author.
