Broken Rollover Links in Safari

I'm having some trouble with rollover links in a facebook app I'm building.
In Safari 3.0.4 the links become blue squares with question marks after they are clicked or rolled over.
They work fine in Safari 2.0.4 and in Firefox and IE.
I've found some other threads here and elsewhere that deal with this topic, but have yet to find a conclusive solution.
Can anyone help me with this?
Many thanks

One problem is that you are using an early version of Safari and it wasn't mature like other browsers. The other is that you are using a "dated" Mac OS X when web designers are moving to more recent technology. You will see that Netscape and Microsoft have stopped developing their browsers for the Mac.

Broken QuickTime links in Safari

Mac PPC G4 AGP
OSX 10.2.8/Classic 9.2.2
QuickTime 6.5.3
Safari 1.0.2 (ver85.8.1)
QuickTime links are broken in Safari....go to same page with IE or Netscape and works just fine. Odd! Anybody know how to fix this. I have 'Pacifist', but can't find Safari on my orginal OSX 10.2 install disk. Thought maybe i could reinstall and it might fix the problem. Strange that QT works with competitor's browser and not it's 'integrated' browser. So much for the 'It simply works' slogan....Oh well, advice would be appreciated. Thx dave

Safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon

The url I get the safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon most often is "apple.com/startpage/". There may be 10 or 12 of them. However, most apple.com pages have at least 1. In fact I am looking at 1 right now. I have emptied the cache. I do not wish to reset Safari because I do not want to reenter all of the passwords to various sites. Is there a simple answer?

Hi Rex,
Who is your ISP and what addresses do you have set in the DNS section of your System Preferences -> Network preferences?
Have you tried logging into a different user account on your machine to see if that has the same problem? This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Also, do you use any third party internet software (Norton, Intego, etc.)?

Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address). I use yahoo with apples mail app. When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email. I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
Is there any way to do this?
I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts? Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this. Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
Any ideas?

Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account. Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out. I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate. Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either. Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly. I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
I want my google contacts and my calendar. If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that. I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers. Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too.
The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account. I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want.
If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues. I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

how to clear shared links in safari?

Hi Dominic23, appreciate your answer but I am referring to LinkedIn Shared Links, does that mean I have to log out of LinkedIn account, is there another way instead to logging out?

Clicking on links in Safari does nothing

Running OS 10.8.5 on desk top iMac. Lately, today, have found that clicking ona link in Safari does nothing. Simply stays on the same page I was viewing.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

After installing iOS 7.1.1, I can no longer send links from Safari using my Yahoo account

I frequently send links from Safari, and as my Yahoo is my default email, it obviously sends from Yahoo. However, since installing iOS 7.1.1, those messages end up in my outbox, and I get a message saying "a copy of the message has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I am able to change my sending email to Gmail or my company domain, though, and the message will go through without issue. But changing the sending account to a different Yahoo account generates the same failure message.
Is this a Yahoo problem (which wouldn't surprise me)? Or is it an iOS 7.1.1 bug (which also wouldn't surprise me)? Anyone else having the problem?
For the record, I have rebooted the iPad Air 128GB. I have tried this on multiple wifi connections (AT&T Uverse at the office, Time Warner cable at home, blazing fast local fiber company at the gym). The only thing I have not done is remove & reinstall the Yahoo accounts. I thought I'd pick the collective brains of the community first.
Thanks!!

Addendum
Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

Copying links in safari in iOS 8 no longer works

At first I thought it was me but no. If I try to copy a link in Safari using the Copy item or by specifically selecting the link and copying it I get nothing. I use this feature a lot so it's pretty annoying.
I am running iOS 8 on an iPad 2. I am really not happy with the performance of iOS 8.

I am not sure if this is the answer, but I was trying some things to fix some of the iOS 8 issues I was having. One of the things I tried is to reset the network settings. And now I can copy from Safari. Disclaimer, I am not sure if this is what fixed the problem but could very well be.
To reset the network settings, go to Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings
This wipes out all the network settings, so make sure you have your network passwords handy.

How to email a "link" from Safari?

Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
What am I missing?
And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

Can someone help?
In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

How do I set Mail to launch clicked links in Safari, rather than Firefox?

I have both Safari and Firefox installed on my computer. Safari is the default browser, but when I click a link on an email that I have received, Mail opens it in Firefox. This happens even if I have Safari open and Firefox closed. In that case, Mail opens Firefox and then displays the location of the link. I can't find an option in Mail settings, to set the default browser for clicked links to Safari.

Great news Matt, thanks.
Likely it was done when you installed Firefox, it asks if you want to make it the default browser.

Every link in Safari opens in new tab or window

I'd like to find a way so that every time I click a link in Safari, instead of opening in the current window, it opens in either a new tab or window.
I understand that I can hold down "Command" while I click a link and it will open in a new window or tab, and that I can right click or control click and select "open in new window" from the contextual menu, but I don't want to do that.
I simply want every link that I click to open in a new window. Every time.
I'm willing to dig deep into the system and get under the hood if necessary.
Thanks,
Darryl

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking me to post my Safari preferences? Or something else?
Anyway, 10.6.6 running Safari 5.0.3.
Tab preferences - "Open pages inn tabs instead of windows" = "Always".
"Command-click opens link in a new tab" - checked
"When a new tab or window opens, make it active" - checked
"Confirm before closing multiple tabs or windows" - checked.

Can't open PDF links in Safari

Hi, only since a couple of days ago, I couldn't open PDF links in Safari. The page loads but nothing appears in the new window or tab.
Thanks,
Aaron

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Did you recently install Adobe Reader or is it installed in your system? If not, Safari's preference folder may be corrupt. To create a new preference file go to the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari and try a PDF. It ought to open within the browser. Also, you'll need to reset your custom preferences, plus any custom settings in the Edit (spelling) or View (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons etc.) menus.
If Adobe Reader is installed, and you want the PDF to open in the Safari Browser, go to your Internet Plug-ins Folder (Main or User Library in your Finder) and remove the Adobe plug-in.

Touch screen not working with internet link in safari

Anyone has the same problem?
After 1.1.1 update, my touch screen occassionally fails to respond any tap on internet links in safari. no matter which web site you go to, no link will work on tap.
I tried to clean catch, cookies, etc. The only way to out of it is to reset the phone (both key pressed).
It happens about once or twice a day, not often enough for Apple people to duplicate it, but enough to bother me.

I have had the same exact problem occur 3 or 4 times since the update. I fix it by turning the phone off and on again.

Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jim

Sorry for the insufficient info.
My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
Can you help me with this?

How to activate lightbox from a second rollover link?

I am trying to active my lightbox from a second rollover link and do not know how to do it. I been looking for hours to find the right answer and the closest thing that made any sense was someone saying to do this..
This is commonly caused by a conflict between scripts. Check your body tag and look for an onload attribute. Example:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(‘/images/menu_on.gif’)…;">
A quick fix to this problem is to append the initLightbox() to the onload attribute as so:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(‘/images/menu_on.gif’)…;initLightbox()">
Sounds simple enough but the problem is my 'body onload' attitubute in my HTML seems to be uneditable for some reason so I am unable to test if this works or not. Can someone please help me as I am new to dreamweaver and this is my first website. Here is where is sits in my code - not sure if that will help.
thanks
