Any reason why safari does not display properly ?

Notice how jumbled the various short cuts look in the top left section of the safari homepage? Too small to read, too jumbled to use.
That's why I use Opera. But surely this is not normal? It has always been like this on my Mac. Any clues out there?
Derek

Safari Extensions is listed under About Safari. If I click it it takes me to the world of Safari extensions....and all that is available. Preferences takes me to my choices ie Opera as my default browser...
I don't remember ever installing any extensions, this was a reconditioned Mac already with Safari (thought they were standard with Macs?
Sorry, not getting anywhere here. Appreciate all the help from both responses.

Upgraded to 2.0.2 and Safari does not display iphone webpages

Hi All,
are you having the same problem? After upgrading to 2.0.2 Safari does not display for iphone formatted webpages in the right format anymore! Any idea what to do to overcome this situation (besides waiting for the next update?)
Best Regards
Christoph

I am not seeing the problem at all.
All the iPhone specific web pages I have tried work fine.
Try a reset.

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

Page does not display properly in 3.0.4

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Best way to reach Apple is to send a Bug Report via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond directly to these notes, the information gets in the hands of Software Engineers at Cupertino.
Specific to the referenced site, there are multiple code errors, which would contribute to the rendering problem. Safari is a lot more specific about following correct code than other browsers. I suggest passing the Validation report on to the site developers. Good code practices (W3) makes for better uniformity and security on the Internet.

Hi my web hosting company irunsolutions.co.uk have informed me that my website does not display properly in firefox when run on a windows 7 32 bit platform.

website is www.empireembroidery.co.uk
does not display properly when viewed on 32bit windows 7 platform in firefox.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Safari does not display pdf's properly...

MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
Thanks

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

AddThis plug-in does not display properly.

AddThis plug-in adds "Share page" to the Safari toolbar, but does not display icons for any sharing option (Facebook, Twitter, EMail, etc.). Therefore, I can't click on anything to share the web page I am reading. Any idea why this area is left blank?

OK, have managed to resolve this. The plugs ins are all registered in the registry, but no version is assigned.
Adding the version number (in my case 12.1.0.883) to each of the plug ins has solved my issue.
Under Regedit
Local Machine, Software, Business Objects, Suite 12.0, Enterprise, Auth Plugins
I do think this is a compatibility issue between install for CRS & SAP Business One, as we don't get the issue where SAP Business One is not installed.

Edited pdf does not display properly

I scanned in doc to a .pdf. It displayed properly on iPad (iBooks). I added some text using preview. It did not display when reading it to iBooks. Thinking it was a layering issue, I "Flattened" the file with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and freaked it to iBooks. Still does not display the added text. Added text is displayed by Adobe Reader for iPad. How do I get the iBooks program to properly read an edited .PDF? Is it really necessary to print and rescan the .PDF each time? Can I add the text in IBooks?

Stick with Adobe Reader. iBooks will not and cannot display form fields or edited text in a PDF as you have learned. You cannot add text in iBooks either. You can't change that. The built in mail app is also incapable of displaying edited PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust and feature rich than iBooks, which I'm sure you have already seen for yourself.
iBooks pales in comparison as a useful PDF tool. i think that you will be much better off using Adobe Reader.

Safari does not display PDF files?

My Safari browser does not display pdf files. Whenever a site I'm reading links to a pdf file, a new page open in black but without content.

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.

Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Safari does not display GMail/Google Reader unread counts in tab titles

To reproduce this, do the following:
1. Create a bookmark for either GMail or Google Reader
2. Click on the bookmark under Safari to load either site (make sure it has at least on unread item)
The text in the tab title will not display the unread count. Instead, it displays either "GMail" or "Google Reader". Firefox displays the unread counts for both sites in the tab's title text as follows: "Gmail - Inbox(2) - <email addr>", "Google Reader (2)".
This is the one of the main reasons why I will continue to use Firefox over Safari. Displaying the unread counts in the tab titles allows me quickly glance at the browser's window with both sites loaded in separate tabs to see if there are any unread items.

I had the same problem and was able to find a workaround. The key insight actually came from another one of your (jkwuc89) posts where you mentioned:
Loading GMail or Google Reader from a Safari bookmark appears to behave differently when compared to loading either site from a link on another page.
The solution is to change the address of your bookmark so that it is similar to loading the site from a link on another page. When you bookmark Gmail, it's address will read:
https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
However, edit the address of this bookmark to:
javascript:window.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox'
This Javascript snippet will trick Safari to open Gmail as if you had clicked a link on another page and the tab will display the correct page title including unread count. You can follow a similar pattern with Google Reader or other sites that exhibit a similar problem.

Here's a page that does not display properly...

It seems that the Webkit based browsers do not display pages like the following properly:
http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_riders.htm?menu=riders
In this example, both Safari v3.1 (5525.13) and OmniWeb 5.7-v621 have issues.
Safari seems not to have any crashing problems here.
Is this the appropriate place to report this?

Hi
Code errors on the referenced link create the problem, not the browser. Safari strictly follows latest code promulgated by the Web Standards Project. Hence, the rendering errors.
If you want to bring this issue to the attention of Apple, use the "report bugs to Apple" option in the Safari Menu.

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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?
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 “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

Safari does not display images

Yesterday - suddenly- Safari stopped displaying images on any web page. Fo example on Apple.com the picture of the large Apple does not come up and so on. Should I re-install Safari- download again? Just to check the images DO display in Explorer which I had to use to post this.

I had exactly the same trouble. I followed these instructions--emptied the cache and ditched the plist file, and when I restarted, they were all there again. I've been suffering with no images for a long time--I wish I would have done this sooner--it was easy!
