Can I stop Safari giving me cached web pages on [back] ?

I regularly read the news online where the home page for a news organisation (such as www.theguardian.co.uk ) contains many links to individual news stories.
So, the normal process is to read the home page, click on a news article, then hit back to go back and pick another many times.
However, on using [back] Safari pulls up a cached version of the news site, so listing news from whenever it last cached, often around 24 hours ago. To fix this, I have to first hit [back] and then [refresh] which is annoying.
Other browers I have used include options to check web pages (GIMS - Get If Modified Since [date/time of cache] - I believe) each time. I'd love that or a way to define specific web pages I'd like Safari not to cache or a way to force a cache refresh of a particular web page (put this in your cache now as I know I want to get to this version and throw away your old one).
Anyone got any ideas? Please don't recommend clearing the whole cache, thanks.

I'm going by your profile (10.7.2)
Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Restart your Mac, try Safari.
Restoring Safari windows may be causing a problem with the cache ...

How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there?

How can I have Safari save my opened web pages when I quit so that when I open next time they will be there? I can do that in Firefox automatically, but can't seem to find how to do it in Safari. I'm thinking maybe it's just now possible yet?

From your Safari menu bar click History / Reopen All Windows from Last Session.
Or..
Glims can re open tabs from a previous session if that helps.

How can I stop auto refreshing a new web page in XP immediately after its opened?

In XP, once I access a new web page Firefox auto refreshes that page once the page is ~80-90% opened - how can i stop this refresh?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

Can I use Safari as my main web browser and Firefox when Safari isn't supported?

www.apple.com/support/safari
Also use the User Agent and see if that works on those sitess.
Safari keeps a lot of web history and cache on disk and it tends to be RAM hungry (even FF has gotten a big larger on RAM footprint)
There are other browsers and sometimes Opea is a good choice or there is OmniWeb which I still after 10 yrs? still favor.

How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2?

How can I stop safari from auto completing url's on my iphone 4 and ipad2? On both devices I have cleared history, I have gone into settings-safari-and cleared history and cleared cookies & data, tried turning my devices on and off and I also have private browsing turned on. Both devices are operating on iOS 5. When I type in a url I don't want anything to show and auto complete. Any suggestions?

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

Safari Will Not Show Any Cached Web Pages From Any Website.

Basically my problem is exactly as stated in the heading. Any web page I try to view a cached snapshot of returns: "Your search did not match any documents." Up until a week or so ago, I could cache any web page, unless it truly was to old to display a cached snapshot. It would never highlight the key words typed in the search bar when the cached option was selected, but it always showed the page. Now it will not cache any page.
The links are not broken, because I can search every page from my desktop computer with no problems. It's only on my iPhone. I could try to view 5,000 cached web pages, and every one of them returns the same message: "Your search did not.....". I've cleared my history, cache, cookies, as well as log off, and power down the phone, and turn it back on. Nothing fixes the issue. I have the latest update, and have no other problems with my phone at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? This is very frustrating. A google search turned up nothing. This has to have happened to more people than just me. Hopefully I don't have to use the cache feature to find the answer:)

I guess I'll join another forum, were there's people smart enough to help.

Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?

Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?
On my home network the wi-fi connection happens automatically without opening Safari. But on my work network, when attempting to make a connection the iPad lets me enter my user name and password, but then tries to open the webpage www.apple.com, which is blocked by iPrism as entertainment, so I can't actually connect to that network. oes anyone know a fix for this problem?

Open cached web page?

I know these are cryptically stored somewhere under Library/Caches/Safari, but is there a way to actually open these as web pages?

Try using:

try
set the_string to (read (this_file as alias) from 1 to 1000)
on error
set the_string to ""

if the_string contains theURL then
reveal this_file
return --script stops right here if line reached

I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.

I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.This is only one page, and none of the browsers can view your images, and this happened after updating the operating system to Yosemite.

Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
"Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar
Enable Images.
Make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled.

How can I set download restrictions on a web page ?

how can I set download restrictions on a web page ?
I mean: to make a web site with text and pictures but in a way that the visitors cannot download the pictures or text ?
Is it possible ?
Thanks

Freeway allows you to inject code into the HTML of the page. Upload the movie file to a folder on your server and reference it in the code.
<script src="http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/QT-JS.js" language="javascript"> </script>
<script language="javascript">
QT_WriteOBJECT('http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/Movie.mp4' , '640', '496', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'false', 'CONTROLLER', 'true', 'VOLUME', '50', 'KIOSKMODE', 'true', 'SCALE', 'Aspect') ;
</script>
If you are going to go this route it would be better to use HTML5 with flash fallback to cover all browsers and devices...

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Why can I not print anything from a web page?

Thank you, but I still haven't solved my problem. I tried the reset suggestion. But I cannot find print.print_printer preference. Maybe the word "printer" is to be replaced with the name of my printer. But because of the warning that making any changes is a very dangerous thing to do, I hesitated to do anything.
I have located the Print to file option, but it is not checked.
This problem did not exist before the Firefox update of about 6 months ago. Today I downloaded the latest Firefox update, hoping that would solve my problem, but it did not.
Thank you for your continued assistance.

Safari will not open web pages on my Ipad3

In General Settings, it says there is no Network Available. How do I fix this?

Thank You Demo for your reply. To answer your questions:
Yes, my wireless WiFi is on. It is working because I am using it on my laptop now to reply to you.
I only use my network in my home and it works.
I must have something set wrong on my Ipad3 Settings?
Whenever I try to use Safari, I get the message: Safari cannot open this web page.
Also, I have disconnected the Router power (thinking the Router was bad), waited a minute, and reconnected the power. It doesn't fix anything regarding my Ipad3.
Does this help you determine a possible solution? I hope so! Thanks anyway for your time and effort, if not!

How can I stop Safari reloading web pages every time?

When I am using Safari on my iPad I frequently want to jump between web pages or between the internet and other applications. This is simple on my laptop as once I have loaded a page it does not require reloading until I ask it to, but on my iPad I find it next to impossible as each page gets reloaded when you move back to it. We have a slow internet connection and that coupled with the latest version of iOS working slowly on my iPad makes it very frustrating.
Is there anyway I can stop Safari from doing this?
I am using an iPad 2 with the latest version of iOS

I wish it was that simple, but I'm afraid it's not. Turning off Background App Refresh doesn't affect page reloading. Supposedly the reloads are due to limited memory forcing Safari to keep no more than a very few (3 to 5, depending on device) pages in memory; pages therefore routinely get deleted from memory, thus forcing reloads. I haven't tried it yet, but reportedly the iCab browser ($1.99) retains its tabs / web pages and will display them without reloads. As will a couple of other browsers, just not Safari.
