Certain links/pages in a website will not open.

My wife has an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1 and I use the original iPad running 5.1.1 - both work perfectly on the same wifi network. Since this morning however on the iPad 2 my wife can open www.guardian.co.uk but then the links to some pages do not open (but will open in a separate tab) - other websites work normally.  Yet sitting on the other sofa I have no problems with same website on my original iPad and have no problems opening any link.  The only difference I can see are the different versions of iOS.  Any ideas?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • A page on a website will not open. Most everything else will excpet this one page on the website.

    The page sits and tells me it is loading and never does. The webpage has other places that work fine.

    HAVE had similar experiences:
    1. doubt it is a firefox issue. 2. The server could be having problems finding the page (whose name is valid, thus no 404), but un-retrievable due to OS or hardware problems (infinite search loop). 3. Waiting for a display tool like Adobe Acrobat Reader to be loaded for PDF files; start Acrobat and check your downloads and click on the list item wanted; usually it is automatic unless you turned off the linkage relationship. 4. Same applies to DOC/docx, png/jpg and mp3/mp4 files. WAYS to figure out the problem: 1. drop the last section from the URL, go there and look for a newer link to the file you want. 2. check whois.net to make sure the website is a safe place to visit (some mal-sites fake a stalling search in order to download malware in the backgound). 3. google the same information you want and seek it at another URL. good luck.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

    Hi
    Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
    While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
    cheers

  • I need to install iWork 9 on my new mac that has Pages 5.2 that will not open my older Pages docs. How do I ensure that the 9 will open them instead of the 5.2

    I need to install iWork 9 on my new iMac that currently has Pages 5.2 which will not open my older Pages docs. I do not want the 5.2 to interfere with the opening of my docs in the 9. How do I ensure this without removing the 5.2 (that might improve with age)? If I rename the 5.2 for now, will that work? Thank you for any assistance.

    Just install iWork '09 and make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

    You can run both Pages '09 and Pages 5.2 but will need to right click on your files to open them with the right version, because all Pages files have the same file extension: .pages.

  • Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

    Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

    Hi Madhattanite,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  When did you purchase your Mac?  The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.
    Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
    I hope this helps ...

  • I recently upgraded my Mac to OS 10.6.5. Now the links in my incoming emails will not open in Firefox, but they will in Safari. What do I do?

    there is nothing more to add.... links from a wide variety of sources simply do not open up firefox and open the website like they used to. I can copy the links and paste them into firefox and they will open.

    this answer does not help at all. It tells me how to change my mail client for outgoing mail. I use iCal from mac, which is the default mail program, and it works well for me. The problem is with INCOMING mail that contains clickable links that will not open the page in firefox. When I click them nothing happens. iCal and Firefox used to play together just fine; now firefox doesn't answer when I click a link sent to me and received in my iCal.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Pages 3.0.3 will not open in Pages 5.5.2

    I just purchased a new iMac and Pages documents (version 3.0.3) will not open in Pages 5.5.2 in my new iMac.
    Is there a way to open them?  I am using OS X 10.10.2.  TIA

    Pages v5 dropped support for Pages '08, and .RTF documents. If you are running Pages '08 v3.0.3 on Yosemite, just export the documents to Word .doc, and these will open in Pages v5.5.2. I have found that a Pages '08, or '09 document uploaded to the zamzar site can also be converted to Word .doc/docx for free. They will send you an email in a few moments of the conversion with a pointer to the Word document to download.
    Note. You do not need to sign up on the Zamzar site to upload, convert, and download the converted document. Process just took me under 2 minutes. They will store documents for 1 day.

  • I have a 2006 macbook and tried to load pages app and it will not open

    I have a macbook that was purchase in 2006 and wanted to know was pages, keynote and numbers already installed on the computer prior to purchase. If so where would it be located. If not. I already purchased and downloaded it but it will not open on the macbook, it's showing that it's only an app for iPad/iPhone.

    The iWork suite (Pages / Numbers / Keynote) is not part of your computers OS, and would be a seperate installation. 
    If you do have it, it would be in your applications folder, in a second folder entitled "iWork"
    As your computer has an old OS (10.5.8), you would not be able to download these app's, as they require an OS version of 10.7 or higher.
    Your OS will support iWork 08 or iWork 09, and if you have an iWork installation disc, you can install it on this computer.  If you don't have an iWork installation disc you can likely purchase one off of ebay.

  • Link to photo on Dropbox will not open

    I have been sent an email that contains a link to a picture that sender has stored on Dropbox.
    The link worked fine on my laptop, but will not open the jpg on my Playbook.
    What I see, is a rectangular grey image with break therough the corner. Maybe indicating a broken picture?
    When I look under downloads, the picture name is there, but it is a very small file (33kb) and will not open.
    I have done some tests myself and this happens regardless of the file or who sends it. I have tried smaller jpg files and same thing happens. I also tried changing the link from https to http with no change.
    Here is an example of the link.
    http://www.dropbox.com/s/3zp32c5qhiyq4eo/luke100.jpg
    I would like to know why this happens and if there is a way to open the images.

    I tried sending myself a different picture (much smaller) from my laptop as a Dropbox link as before. It opened fine once I chose OK as described above.
    I notice you have a 64Gb and I have 32GB. Could that make a difference as to the memory allocated for file downloads?
    I have no idea why it does that on your end and not on mine or vice-versa.
    I doubt that the capacity would make a diffrence for the download, unless you have very little space left on the device
    I tried something else.
    Dropbox have changed the way we share files. In past, there was a public folder. Files were pasted into that folder and by right clicking, a link could be pasted to clipboard for insertion in an email. The newest version of Dropbox no longer has the public folder. You click on the file, in say Photos, and then on share. Then you can send file directly or copy link to clipboard and paste in an email.
    The links created have a different format. Here are two I sent to PB
    Firstly from new version of Dropbox using Sharing
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zp32c5qhiyq4eo/luke100.jpg
    andfrom older version of Dropbox using  public link
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54783344/luke100.jpg
    As before, the first link does not open the picture on PB. But the second one opens fine.
    On other computers, both links open properly.
    So, it seems there is something about the new style link that MY Playbook does not like.
    To test this on another Playbook, it would be necessary to paste the two links into an email and send it to the Playbook. (On their own, the links will open in the browser, even on my Playbook).

  • Websites will not open. Domain computers. Not Firewall, Not Cookies. Seems to be just domain computers cannot open 90% of websites.

    I have a few domain computers that cannot open any webpages, 90% will not open. MSN CBS ABC NBC none of these pages will open. nothing loads on the page, it says connecting to.. If I click work offline, the page will load minus and video or pictures. just a format and wording appears.
    I have cleaned cookies, reset to default, safe mode, rebooted, checked the firewall, checked the domain controller, re-installed, turned off IP V6, I followed every troubleshooting guide i can find. i check the network settings, check proxy, checked DNS, If i click help and try to get an update from Firefox, it just sits there at like 2.5 KB and says downloading forever.
    The pages will set there and spin for hours. no error, no timeout.. just says connecting to ....(which ever page).

  • Google, Yahoo, and very random websites will not open

    Google.com will not open, yahoo will not open and anything google- or yahoo-related will not open (including their search engines, which is killing me) as well as very random websites. Other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari.
    Mac OS 10.6.8. The other iMac in the house (OS 10.7.5) is working fine as well as our Macbook, iPad, and three iPhones. I believe the problem started after we changed Verizon modems and wi-fi networks, but I cannot be sure, and I don't understand why the other devices/machines would not also be effected. There is no spyware that I know of  installed on this problem machine. When I do a repair verification on the Utility Disk I get a lot of messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

    It is the same with the other accounts on the machine, but not with any other Mac device in my house, including another iMac. I'm going to reword the question more clearly below, so that maybe others will have a solution. Thank you very much for your effort, Old Toad.
    Google, yahoo, and apple sites (including their search engines) will not open as well as a few random websites. Most other websites open immediately. This is happening exactly the same on both Firefox and Safari, so it does not appear to be a browser-specific issue. The operating system on the iMac is a Mac OS 10.6.8.

    What I've done so far:
    Cleared all history on, and reset, both browsers.
    Run a "repair disk permissions" on the Utility Disk and I've received many messages that read in different variations of the following: Warning:SUID file"System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contens/MacOs/Ar dAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Cleared the caches in my hard drive Library and Users Library folders (the Internet is now faster for the sites that do work)

  • Updated pages 5.2.2 will not open files

    Pages updated itself to V5.2.2.  Now it will not open a file I created an hour before the update in V 5.2.
    The message says I need to update to a newer version of Pages.
    But it is the latest.  HELP

    You should have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You were alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    If you can archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

  • Links on websites will not open unless I right click and open in new tab/ window

    This just started yesterday. Whenever I go to a website I am unable to just click on a link on the page and be directed. When the mouse goes over the link the info appears in the bottom bar but when I click nothing happens. In order to navigate to the link I have to right click and open in a new tab or page.
    Please help on fixing this issue.
    Thanks!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
