Can't click on links on Safari

So, when I'm on Safari I can't click on any links, for example after searching google, I can't click on any of the web pages. Or when I'm at apple.com I can't click on the 'store' or 'mac' at the top.
Anyone know what I can do about this?

Oh and one last thing if that ever happens open a new tab in safari on the iPod and close out of the unresponsive one. That usally works for me so I wont have to power down

Can't click on links in safari, but can open to new tab

Hey guys,
I recently uploaded my first website via dreamweaver, but I can't seem to click on my links while in Safari.
The links are there and they do work, because I can right click and open to a new tab.
Also while previewing the site in dreamweaver everything's working as it should.
Google chrome also works fine.
Even when I choose 'preview in Safari", but when I open my website via url in Safari something's not working right...
Anyone know what to do or where to look?
Thanks,
Vincent

Can't click on links in safari after mavericks update

I updated to maverics and now when I search something on google and click on a link, it will not open. Also if I type in an address such as apple.com it will not go to the site.

Also I can't open a new tab or a new window.

After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up.

I am using MacBook Air with Yosemite OS. After mistakenly clicking a link, my safari does not open automatically and unexpected webs open up. Could you please give me suggestions on how to fix this problem? Thank you

That's a bit vague, but you may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.

When I advertise a link for potential customers, the link does not light up so that the customer can just click on link and be direct to my website. Why? What do i need to do in order for links to light up?

When advertising, I put my link in so that potential customers can just click on link and be automatically directed to my website. My links are not lighting up so that they can be directed to my website. Why?

Do you mean sending email?
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

Can't Use Download Links In Safari

everytime i hit a download link in safari it will not download instead goes to a blank black page, so i have to right click and then click on download file to.
This is gettting annoying, is there anything i can do to fix this, it only started happening after installing lion

I too have this problem and have not seen a fix posted in these forums yet.
My work around is to copy the url when you are taken to that blank page and paste that URL into Firefox or Google Chrome. The file will download then.
This isn't a Lion problem but a problem with the latest version of Safari. My Snow Leopard machine does this same exact thing.

How can I click a link to open a new tab without automatically switching to the new tab?

I use Ixquick as my search engine. When the search result comes up, every time I click a link, Firefox creates a new tab and changes the focus from the search results page to the page for the link I clicked.
I want to have a new tab created , but I want to stay on the search results page to be able to continue clicking other tabs of interest.
I'm new to Foxfire and this functionality was very useful to me when I used Internet Explorer.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kathy
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I accidentally clicked "Block" while hovering over a link in Gmail and now I can't click the link. How do I unblock the link I accidentally blocked?

I was trying to click a link in Gmail, but the "Block" bubble popped up and I accidentally clicked the "Block" bubble instead of the link. Now I can't click the "Attach File" link in Gmail and I can't figure out how to unblock the link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked the small, yellow "Block" bubble.

That sounds like an AdBlock Plus blockable element tab, right?
Try removing the ad blocking rule from Tools -> AdBlock Plus Preferences.
Find the rule that looks like Gmail ("My Ad Blocking Rules" should be at the top), select it and press the Del key or right click and choose Delete.

Can't click on buttons in Safari ???

When I use Safari (5.0.5) I sometimes can't click on buttons on websites... For example I can't click on the "Search" button in Google or the "Login" button on Facebook. When I click the buttons nothing happens! I have tried to reset Safari but it doesn 't help.
The problem can only be solved by restarting my iMac or by logging off.
Does anyone have the same problem ?

Ok...
First, it's always good to have a backup browser installed. I use Firefox or Google Chrome.
For Safari... try Safari in another user account on your Mac. See if the same thing happens there.

Can't click on links and buttons from verizon 8330 curve

I am currently working on developing a web system using HTML & PHP. I have it up and running in a development environment, but when I look at it from my blackberry (Verizon 8330 Curve) I can see the page, but I can't click on anything. (Links or Buttons) I asked a coworker to try from his phone (Verizon Storm) and he didn't have any trouble. So my question is what am I doing wrong where nothing is appearing as usable? I wanted to make sure that my coding wasn't the problem so I created a test page and had the same problem. Below is the code I am using from the test page.
This is my test.html page.

<br /><br /><a href="/test.html">This is a link.</a>

Using mac mail I can't click on link

I use Mac Mail. When I get a email that I have to click a link to take me to Firefox nothing happens. If I restart my computer it will work for about 2 hours and then stop working again. I called Applecare and they had me delete the Cache. That didn't solve the problem. Now I am using Safari and it is working fine. I really prefer Firefox but need the link feature to work all the time.

I am still using two browsers but it's interesting that I don't have this problem with my Mac Laptop. Mac Mail works fine with Firefox. I have called Apple twice and they have no solution. I did un-install Firefox and then re-installed it but that didn't help. I'm still looking for a solution !!

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.
