Allowed pop ups but safari won't open my Uni website. It just opens a fresh blank page? Using sim not wifi would this have something to do with it?
I have a new iPad and am trying to open my Uni website. I have allowed pop ups but it just opens a new blank page. I'm using a sim not wifi, would this have anything to do with it?
Thanks again ...
This trouble is fairly new as I just got my MacBook Pro. It's been going on for 2 weeks or so. Prior to the MacBook I was using my old PC laptop and never had any difficulty.
Nobody else seems to be having this problem at school and IT is completely unhelpful. I've been told that nothing's wrong with the uni's internet/network, it's my laptop.
Could it be that the uni's network doesn't recognize my new Mac's IP address (I think that's right) and for some reason is blocking access?
As for the VPN idea - I think I get it. Can I set that up myself?

Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.
The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
"Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
"Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
Thanks for the help. -
How to allow pop-ups in Safari for all users
How do you allow Safari pop-ups for all users? After rolling out 50 Mac OSX with Safari comes default with Safari pop-ups disabled, now I must allow pop-ups for all users logging in.
Good day!Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator

How do I allow pop ups in safari without being asked "block or allow" ?
I'm assuming that when I turned on the setting in Safari to allow pop-ups, I wouldn't have to tell the browser to allow or block every single pop up after that. Is there a combination of settings to make allow pop-ups without the additional "block or allow" message from popping up before the pop up window.
I used a 3rd party web application that has been coded for their drill-down messages to be displayed in another screen and I have no control over that.
Thanks for any information you can provide.Well, not that helpful unless you can determine if that window is coming from Safari or iOS or from whatever the other "3rd party web application" you were talking about.
If you don't want to play in that pool, then assume that iOS and/or Safari are working incorrectly. Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
So .. start at #1. -
Window.open javascript on button causes parent window to display blank page
In Captivate 3, I've created a Text button that executes the
following Javascript:
window.open('stakeholder_part2.htm','', 'fullscreen=yes,
scrollbars=auto');
The Javascript works perfectly, but when it executes, the
page in the parent window goes blank except for the word "object"
in square brackets. Hitting the back button in my browser navigates
back to the Captivate movie.
I've tried every combination of settings I can think of in
the button dialog. Currently I have "top" selected in the window
dropdown, and "Continue playing project" disabled. The only setting
that didn't work at all is "New" ("Current" and "Parent" both
generated the results described above).
Could this have something to do with the fact that the
javascript launches the new window in fullscreen mode?
quote:
TextYou could try wrapping your function in a call to void(),
which basically says "don't return a value when evaluating this".
It would look like this:
void(window.open('stakeholder_part2.htm','', 'fullscreen=yes,
scrollbars=auto'));
Unless you really want to open a different new window each
time the function is called, you should also specify a name for the
new window, as in:
void(window.open('stakeholder_part2.htm','newWin',
'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto'));
The browser will check for an open window with this name and
show the page in that window if it's still open. -
While in Safari on my Macbook Air using Yosemite, I have the block pop ups box unchecked but I am still getting blocked on a few sites. Some sites will allow pop ups, any ideas?
Yes, I do that every 30 minutes, thats not the issue tho, because it shows like for example, 4 months ago i search a celebrity on wikipedia ONCE, and it shows up if you type that first name in the search bar......
Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...
need help!!! -
My college wifi opens a pop-up in the login process, which my ipad is not allowing. how can i get to allow pop-ups in login process?
You may have pop-ups blocked.
Go to Settings>Safari and turn "Block pop-ups" off. You may needs to restart the ipad after turning off this settings if it doesnt work immediately -
I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups
I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.
Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s -
I have enabled pop ups through safari preferences but a website is still saying that they must be enabled. I have tried this on other browsers after quitting and restarting after changing the preferences
How about extensions? Perhaps you have an adblock extension installed.
Check Safari > Preferences > Extensions -

I cannot access iTunes store from my laptop. I could for years but suddenly - no.
Have removed all recently installed software. Have uninstalled and re-installed both my anti-virus software and iTunes.
Have allowed pop-ups.
Have flushed the DNS. Nothing.
Still can't access the store. Please help!Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How do I change my current latest version of Firefox mobile to allow pop-ups to open?
Hi scarestar,
Thank you for your question. In order to change the pop up blocker setting on Firefox for Android, it is possible to navigate to the about:config page and search for "Popup". There will be a few features:
autocomplete.grab_during_popup
browser.popus.showPopupBlocker
dom>popup_allowed_events
dom.popup_maximum
privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
Please take a look at these features to determine what kind of pop up you would like to turn back on.
Thank you and I hope this helps. -
How do I configure my safari browser to allow pop-ups?
How do I configure my browser to allow pop-ups from testing websites?
whoa, whoa, whoa, part of the problem is that there is no indication that a pop-up is occurring or that it's being blocked like I just learned at Hertz.com. So it just looks like a legitmate pop-up fails since the default is to disable pop-ups (actually it looks like nothing). I don't want to always allow pop-ups for every website. I want to be prompted or notified when it happens - to allow for a good site (going forward) and block or be notified for all the other sites. Global on or off is not a great way to go, imho.

Alternative browsers that allow pop-ups?
My son just got an iPad for work thinking that he could use it with a web-based utility they use in the retail auto business. He can get onto the site with Safari, but when he goes to use a tab or link, some features are not functional. For instance, he sets up a customer document on the page, then attempts to email the customer from the utility (it works fine on his iMac and on PCs), the email dialogue comes up, but he can't type into the body area so it doesn't work. That was using the iPad's Safari. He tried something called Atomic Browser but again, no dice.
He seems to think that he needs a browser that allows pop-ups and pages from links to either open as a 2nd browser window on the screen, and that window has to be fully functional.
The iPad can be a great business tool, but they have to tailor Safari to work with web based applications as well as installed ones. But in the interim, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.Try the iCab browser. You can set it to tell web based apps that it is Internet Explorer, for example, which might help.

How to change internet preferences to allow pop ups in a particular URL?
How to enable pop ups in a specific URL site on the internet using SAFARI (so that it's statements in my account online can be viewed and printed)? I am advised by the financial entity that pop ups need to be allowed on their web site.
Gail, later last night I did find an article through Apple's online support that I have copied below to get to the pop- up subdirectory via clicking in sequence on Safari/preferences/security. So, I agree that I can find no way in Safari to block or unblock specific web site pop-ups, but this does block/unblock in general.

Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion): Block pop-ups and unnecessary content
You can set Safari to prevent webpages from displaying pop-up windows or loading time-consuming content that may be unnecessary.
Unfortunately, many beneficial features use the same technology as ads and other content you might not want to see. So if you block pop-up windows or other web content, you might also block the animation and interactivity that make webpages interesting.
Block pop-ups on webpages
Open Safari if it is not already open.
Choose Safari > Preferences, and then click Security.
Turn on “Block pop-up windows.”
Blocking pop-up windows stops only those windows that appear when you open or close a page. It does not block pop-up windows that open when you click a link.
If you block pop-up windows, you might miss important information for a webpage. For example, a website that provides services to you might use a pop-up window to request your user name.
Block unnecessary webpage content
Open Safari if it is not already open.
Choose Safari > Preferences, and then click Security.
In the “Web content” section, select or deselect types of content you want to block or enable. For an explanation of the options, click the Help button (looks like a question mark).
