Cannot view Apple's web pages

Hi,
I'm interested in the new Mac Pro. Went to view information about it, and ended up at this page: http://www.apple.com/macpro/
Safari displays that page as black with dark and light grey text -- the contrast being so poor it's totally unreadable.
How do I override this in Safari?
Thanks,
- Dan.

yeow! That makes the page look really bad! But at least it's readable.
Yes, I completely agree. That's why I proposed it as a short term workaround.
yes, some of the large text is white. Then the text below that is a light gray. Then the smaller text is a dark gray. The bigger gray is difficult to read, the smaller is impossible.
For what it's worth, all of the text on the page is readable to me. I'm not at all discounting your observations - just saying that mine are quite different. And our differing perceptions of the page are exactly the reason that kind of design is a bad idea - another conclusion you and I completely agree on.
But enough about that. Moving on...
Isn't there some way to just stop Safari from showing the background and override the text color???? Can this be done in Firefox?
I don't know if there's anything in Firefox that would help. Others here might know and, if so, will hopefully chime in.
One possibility is to specify a stylesheet in Safari's preferences that tells Safari to make paragraph backgrounds white and text black, or vice versa.
I made a quick-and-dirty stylesheet that seems to serve the purpose. You can download it here. (Control-click on the link and choose the option to "Save linked file..."
To use it, store it somewhere on your hard drive and then specify it in Safari's preferences, in the Advanced section, where it says "Style Sheet." Choose "Other..." from the drop-down menu and navigate to the white_black.css file that you downloaded. Quit and relaunch Safari to see the effects. It's working for me here.
This stylesheet will almost certainly cause problems on other web sites, so make sure to switch to "None Selected" in that preferences setting when you're not using it for pages like the Mac Pro page.

  • Problem creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page

    When creating a PDF from the "print view" of a web page, the features in the print dialog box overlap. When the PDF is created, the words are garbled. e.g. words apppear as jzhhhxxf or zxihcj.

    Use a job settings that embeds the fonts. If you look at the PDF, the font properties probably do not look correct and don't include embedded fonts. Also, set the printer to Adobe PDF before you try to do a print, so that the web page can try to properly adjust to the printer.
    Why not just try opening the web site directly in Acrobat?

  • View DW html web pages in Bridge?

    My apologies if this is deemed as a “double
    post”, but my question has been on the Bridge Forum for over
    a week with no response. Hopefully someone can assist.
    Am I able to view htm / html web pages from my Dreamweaver
    local site as thumbnail previews in Bridge CS3?
    Initially when I installed the CS3 suite and was just
    glancing through Bridge, I thought I was able to view the thumbnail
    previews of these pages, but now that I am utilizing Bridge more as
    tool, all I see is the IE7 icon for web pages on my local site
    (local hard drive). Image files all show up okay. I may be mistaken
    and was never able to view the web pages as thumbnail previews, but
    a definitive answer would certainly be helpful as I have been
    searching the FAQ section, the knowledge base and the forums
    without finding the proper topic.
    I have tried resetting the preferences and deleting the cache
    in Bridge.

  • Applecare not showing up on Apple's web page

    I enrolled all 3 of my computers in Applecare, however only 2 of the 3 are showing up on Apple's web page. I called and was told that the 1 not showing up was enrolled......just a little concerned.
    Any comments?

    It seems to take a while for the system to update. I had the same problem, but I don't remember how long it took for it to show up. Mine is now in the system, but they have the purchase date wrong. The web page shows 5/12/05 and the purchase was 5/23/05. They do indicate it is an estimated date which is strange. I just noticed my Applecare agreement shows 5/11/05 effective date. I guess I'll call for a correction.

  • Add Email Address on My Apple ID Web Page

    There is an option to add an additional email address on the MY Apple ID Web page.
    It it located below my Alternate Email Address.
    If I add an email address with a @me.com host address I receive the error: "Email is already verified for another apple ID".  I can enter any combination of names and the same error occurs.  Obviously,  the error is not related to the name I enter.  So the question is:  What is the system expecting as a proper name and host for a new email address?  If it is a non Apple host, will it be created as an address similar to my Primary Apple ID?  And what if anything is it different from an address I create without being created on the "My Apple ID" web page?

    Good day ESL1016,
    If you change the email address associated with your Apple ID there are a number of places that have settings that need to be changed. One is in the Messages application. This article explains how to make those changes -
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    Look for the section titled Messages and under it Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later. 
    Open the Messages app, select Messages > Preferences, then click the Accounts icon.
    If you're signed out, click Accounts and sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
    If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID, click Accounts, then select your Apple ID from the list of accounts. Click Sign Out, then click Sign Out again when asked to confirm. Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Safe computing,

  • Cannot view Apple Ad videos with iPhone mobile Safarion the Apple web site!

    Darndest thing. All of a sudden I cannot view any of the Apple ads on the Apple site. The iPhone Safari browser actually shows the window where the video would normally appear with the "Quicktime won't play" barred circle icon in the center of it. If I click on the "play" button anyway, the Quicktime player window opens and after a few seconds I get the "This movie format is not supported." diagnostic. The apple iPhone tour video on the Apple home page begins to load, but when I hit play the screen scrambles and the phone locks up. YouTube still works fine as do some other websites with Quicktime videos. The movie size makes no difference though I first choose the "small" setting. Also strange is that when I touch another ad icon on the thumbnail strip, TWO icons highlight. I also tried looking at the older 2006 & 2007 ads and it was the same. What gives??

    This has happened to me as well. Too bad no one has replied yet.

  • Cannot view Apple TV in iTunes, why not?

    Hi, All, just updated to a new Apple TV , looks great, however, I cannot view the box as I could with the previous box in iTunes.  I have Wireless hookup.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    The current Apple TV does not show up in iTunes as there is no sync capabilities. You send content from your Mac using home sharing (computer must be on and running iTunes)
    You can also stream directly from an IOS device using airplay.

  • Cannot enter info on web pages (Specifically Thrifty Car Rental)

    I try to enter my information onto their web site and after I enter my name, and I have tried caps, bold, etc., it gives me a message that says I have to enter my information. It does not seem to recognize my typing into the box. It works fine on a PC. Any ideas? Is it a safari issue. I can no longer use IE because it won't completely draw the screen with 10.4.7. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Same happens for me when I use Safari. I enter my First or Last Name and a red-lettered warning appears about entering a name. Some developers are not very Safari conscious when coding their sites.
    However, I did have success entering my name on the reservation page when using Firefox. If you don't have a copy, you can download it here. I find Firefox a viable alternative to Safari for playing video (Yahoo is one example) as well as having a better success rate with difficult web pages.

  • How do I view a saved web page?

    I saved a web page by clicking on File; Save Page as; and then saving it as a web page. This created a folder, which contained a large number of files, but when I try to open the folder, it simply opens the folder in Windows Explorer, and does not bring the saved web page up in Firefox.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I installed the "Read it Later" plugin and it seems to work, but I would prefer to be able to save and view the web page directly with Firefox.

    I do not use Windows 7 or the "Read it later" plugin, but will add a general comment.
    The web page you save is likely to consist of a folder of many files and a main file with the extension .htm or html. the .htm or .html file is the one you need to open with a browser. I imagine if firefox is your default browser such files will show as a firefox icon. I also imagine that it is possible to set Windows 7 to specifically show file extensions, that is to show the .htm or .html part of the filename.

  • Cannot create .pdf from web pages X Pro

    Hmmm. I missing a trick here.
    Acrobat X Pro.
    Windows 7 64x.
    Create web pages from Chrome
    So I log into my New York Review of Books account as a Subscriber.
    I locate an article that is marked ' locked ', subscribers only  - I view it as one entire page.
    The whole article is visible - it should be, I'm a subscriber.
    I load the URL into 'Save As Web Page '  in Acrobat X Pro
    I click on Save. It doesn't save it it truncates the article after two pages placing a Nag Box at the end suggesting I take out a subscription. ( but I have ).
    When I attempt this on articles not ' Locked ' they save perfectly in Acrobat X Pro.
    NYRB web support are not really clued up on this.
    Why does this happen ...surely Acrobat x Pro can create the .pdf from the browser content and doesn't have to go back to the source in these circumstances?
    If I go into Chrome and PRINT the same Locked web page to PDF I get a half formatted black and white replica of the article in its entireity ( no Nag Box).
    I'm missing something here. Help please.

    Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
    This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
    I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
    Once you have the PDF make working copies.
    Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
    You may have to manually tag the PDF.
    n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
    Be well...

  • Cannot save script generated web page

    I found that safari cannot save a script generated page by (File -> Save as). I've written a simple test page as follow:
    <html>
    <body>
    <script>
    function OpenPopUpWin()
    var generator=window.open('','save_win', 'width=645,height=600,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,locat ion=no,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');
    generator.document.write('testing');
    generator.document.close();
    </script>
    test (<-this link call the OpenPopUpWin() function)<br>
    </body>
    </html>
    Does anyone have similar problem before? Is it a bug in safari? Are there any workarounds if I want to save the page?

    I guess I'm still not understanding your problem. I took your original script, made the one change as mentioned in my earlier post, and it worked.
    It's quite likely/possible that Apple filter javascript embedded in posts - all sorts of nasty things could happen if they didn't, but you're not using Safaro to create your pages, are you?
    Just as an example, this seems to do what you describe - copy and paste it into a new text document and see what happens:
    <pre class=command><html>
    <body>
    <script>
    function OpenPopUpWin()
    var generator=window.open('','save_win', 'width=645,height=600,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,locat ion=no,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');
    generator.document.write('testing');
    generator.document.close();
    </script>
    <a href="#" OnClick="OpenPopUpWin()'>test</a> (<-this link call the OpenPopUpWin() function)

  • Browser cannot display E3200 router web page from ethernet connection but can from wireless

    I have installed my E3200 downstream from the Verizon FiOS Actiontec (going the other way disables FiOS functions).
    1.  My browser can get to the E3200 (192.168.1.2) when connected via wireless, but not when connected via ethernet cable.
         How do I fix that?
    2. When going to connect wirelessly, the 2GHz connection is visible but the 5 GHz connection is not
         (I have them named differently).
         How do I see both wireless connections?

    My browser cannot get to my E3200 setup web page from a wired Ethernet connection (wireless works fine).
    The Linksys E3200 (1Gb ethernet, “n” wireless) is installed downstream from a Verizon FiOS Actiontec router (10/100 ethernet, “g” wireless).
    I cannot put the E3200 upstream from the Verizon router because I would lose FiOS TV capabilities.
    The E3200’s fixed IP address is 192.168.1.2 (the Verizon router is 192.168.1.1)
    I cannot change the subnet (e.g. to 192.168.2.x)
    Clearing the browser cache and rebooting both routers doesn’t help.
    Both computers tested have dual band “n” network adapters.
    So... wireless connection works fine, but I cannot get to the setup page via wired ethernet.
    Help?
