After Safari 7.0.4 upgrade http pages are blank

After updating to Safari 7.0.4 I am having the following issue, http Safari pages are compately blank, if I try to open an https page and manually add the prefix https:// to the address, then they will load. This does not work with http.
The BBC News website will not load at all and I get a blank page.
I am also having problems with Chrome and Firefox where I get the error 'no data recieved'
I've tried deleteing cache in Develop, 'Remove all website data', turning off Extensions etc. The only way that I have got this to works is by rebooting and starting in 'Safe' mode which is the only way I can view this site after searching from Google.
Can anyone help please? This is really frustrating and there doesn't seem to be a solution anywhere on the Web.

Hi Linc, I have also run the diagnostic that I have seen you ask other users in this discussion in anticipation of you asking, I hope it helps:-

Safari will only load secure https pages

Just encountered an issue today where safari will only load secure https pages. Any page that doesn't begin with https gets the "safari can't connect to the server" error. I can connect to all pages using firefox or chrome on the same system. I have emptied cache and reset safari except for password info. Still no luck. Using Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2) on OSX 10.6.8

Gah nevermind my nephew was using my account and kept clicking the littlesnitch notifications to make them go away. Little bugger managed to block everything on port 80 http. Time to set up a guest account.

When I open safari on my iPad, the old pages are opening, is there a solution to have always the same page when starting safari?

When merging multiple pdf into one all pages are blank

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Version 10.1.13. When I try to merge multiple pdf's into one all pages are blank. I ran the Repair Adobe Installation and this did not fix the problem.
Please provide me with any help/suggestions you may have.
thank you in advance for your time.

Hey tricon5757,
Could you please let me know how have you tried merging PDFs.
Also, try choosing 'Document > Insert Pages' option and combine PDF one after the other.
Let me know if this works.
Regards,
Anubha

Some Blog Pages Are Blank

Some of my blog pages are blank. This typically happens with longer entries. The problem seems to be with the number of links on the page. When I add links and publish, the page is blank. When I remove some links, it is readable again.
For situations where the page is blank, if I double-click on the page, it seems to be selecting the "invisible" text. I can copy and paste it into Word and then it is visible.
I'm using the modern theme with no extra bells and whistles, just plain text.
Any suggestions?

How to I report problems? Does the "Provide iWeb Feedback" option under the iWeb menu actually work? Do they read that feedback or is there another place to go for reporting actual bugs in the program. I have a long list of concerns and issues:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/19iWebReview.html
anything is better than nothing, I had my fare share of iweb ranting.
when you decide to report problems; include your link and this thread.
if apple sw engineers look at these posts (as much as they looked at my site -so closely- a year ago), perhaps they'll fix the problems.
until then, chin up and keep smiling

Pet rescue saga guide walk through (Bhavin Satashiya) - purple
Ordered this guide ... opened it up and nothing. Pages are blank. I paid .99cents for this. I know its not much. But if there is a lot of people buying this app. it tends to be quite a bit of an amount. Please check into this matter and reimburse the amount back to my account.
Thank You

Pages are blank in next seesion

I paste and edit text. I save and quit In Design. I open In Design. The relevant pages are blank.
Where do I start troubleshooting?

Are you certain you are opening the correct file? Try saving with a new name.

When open document, all pages are blank except title page.

The document can be viewed by other application.

Thanks, Paul.
I loaded up your PDF file which is simple text but more than 5000 pages into Reader 10.3 on my iPad 3. I had exactly the same results as you. The pages are blank.
It could be read fine in Acrobat Pro X on my Macintosh.
But then I also loaded it in PDF Expert on the iPad, and I could read it.
I think this is one for the Adobe engineers to look at. Reader 10.3 is not handling very large file sizes well.
By the way, I did a review of both Reader and PDF Expert (not free $US 9.99) at this link:

Safari Won't Load Some 'https:' Pages

For the past week or so, my old trusty G3 (running 10.4.11, all software updates current) is having a problem with certain https: pages - typically ones that are brought up right after logging into a service like AOL Webmail (and unfortunately Apple Discussions, too). What is supposed to happen is the interim page gets processed and then automatically goes on to a "welcome" page or similar. What actually happens is the page either loads fully and then nothing, leaving a blank page leading nowhere and without completing the login sequence, or stalls on loading (with a half-done progress bar... indefinitely).
Checked all my network proxy settings - they're OK. Can access all standard http and most other https pages just fine.
Cleared cache - no effect. Reset Safari - no luck. Shut down, restarted, etc... still have the problem.
Downloaded & installed Firefox 2.0.0 on the G3. With Firefox, I had no problems at all processing the pages. So it doesn't seem to be the target webpages or the network connection. However, Firefox is slooow on the G3 - so I'd rather use Safari.
Other Macs of mine running 10.4.11 & latest Safari are showing no problems of this type (or else I wouldn't be writing this).
Any suggestions? Any other place I need to be looking or anything else I need to hunt down / delete / reinstall / fix?

You have already done some of this, but try:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

Safari 7 - Delay in opening tabbed pages, often blank for 3 to 8 seconds before appearing.

Using a late 2013 13” MacBook Pro-r, 16 GB RAM, OS 10.9.2, Safari 7.0.3. It seems Safari 7 is slower in opening pages in general – i.e. the progress bar often advances halfway then sits there for several seconds before a page opens. However, an annoying particular issue I am having: after I Command+click to open a series of web links in separate tabs, when I go to a tab the page is often blank for 3 to 8 seconds before appearing. Sometimes I’ll see a spinning beachball while I’m waiting for the page to appear – but the page will usually eventually render. During this delay I cannot even close the window – this just produces the spinning beachball. This delay occurs regardless of when the tab was created – it can be several minutes after the link was originally clicked. It doesn’t happen for all page tabs opened, but does happen for many pages. This delay in seeing the page may be related to advertisements on the page, because sometimes the page will appear without ads and has a spinning beachball, then a few seconds later the ads fill in and the beachball stops. I don’t have any of these slowness issues with my old iMac running Safari 5.
I regularly reset Safari and empty the Library/Caches folder. I am neither running any Safari add-ons nor using any extensions. I do have some Safari Plug-ins (Adobe Flash, Flip4Mac, Java, Microsoft Office Live, Quicktime, Silverlight). No Shared Links and the only Internet account I have in Safari is my one ISP email account. I use a 3 MB/s DSL service via wired Ethernet connection.
Any help would be appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Safari is repeatedly crashing and web pages are not responding

So, my safari is constantly freezing (the spinning wheel of death shows up) and then I'm told that the web-pages are not responding and I need to force reload them all. And this can repeat a number of times; a full system re-start is the only fix.
Any fixes, solutions would be appreciated.
I'm using Safari 5.1.9; and Mac OS X 10.6.8

MIght be third party plugins causing Safari to freeze.
Try the troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And see if you can do this before Safari freezes.
Launch Safari and immediately press Command , (comma) to open the Safari Preferences pane then select the Extentions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If Safari doesn't freeze, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...
