Getting the newest version of a web page in Safari

My version of Safari does not look for updated versions of websites I frequently visit. It always loads what's in the cache. Is there a setting somewhere that forces it to always load the page from scratch or at least every session?

In my experience, Internet Explorer is much worse about caching stale web pages than Safari. (As an example, I often have to tell people in my workplace to restart their PCs in order to see a web page change in Windows Internet Explorer, while I can see the change in Safari without a problem.)
However, the problem can be confused by things that a network (in a workplace, in particular) do in terms of web access, and also by caching that your ISP might be doing, as QuickTimeKirk mentioned. If your ISP is "feeding" you a cached page, your web browser really can't load the refreshed page until the ISP itself refreshes the page.

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

I'm trying to install the newest version of iTunes but it's saying the version i have isn't new enough for me to update it. This makes no sense to me... how do I get the newest version?

I Think it is telling you your computer operating system is too old for the newest update.
What are you running?

How can i get the newest version of ios update on ipod touch

how do i get the newest version of the ios update on my ipod touch

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Firefox is not displaying the latest version of a web page!

When I open this web page with Safari, it doesn't display exactly the same information as when I open the page with Firefox.
Based on the missing information, I suspect that Firefox is displaying an OLD version of the page.
If so, what can I do to always have the most current page displayed???
Thanks

If this is a page you visit frequently, then Firefox may have cached an earlier version longer than the site anticipated. To temporarily bypass the cache, you can try one of the following:
Shift + click the reload button<br>
Command + Shift + r (on Windows: Ctrl + Shift + r)
Does that retrieve the latest version? If so, caching is the issue. If not, there must be some other explanation.

How can I get Firefox 4 to detect and load the latest version of a web page automatically?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 from Firefox 3, I've noticed that various pages I visit frequently
http://smbhax.com
http://sketchy.smbhax.com
http://paleface.net/z/monkey
come up showing old versions of the page, so I have to press F5 to see the latest version.
I did not have to do this under Firefox 3--if the page was out of date, it loaded up the new one for me without making me refresh manually.
Looking through the support documentation, I see that in about:config, I could change browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 1 to force it to check for a new version every time, but the default (3) *should* be detecting when pages are out of date--it is not.
I never changed that setting under Firefox 3, so presumably the default setting worked in that version of the browser. Did the default used to be 1? Or is the behavior for the setting "3" just not working the same way in Firefox 4?

Since switching to proper HTTP cache-control headers on the server, Firefox has not failed to present me with the freshest version of those sites.
Those headers were not necessary in order for Firefox to do the same in previous versions of the browser--all it took previously was a meta-equiv "pragma" "no-cache" line in the page HTML. Firefox 4 doesn't seem to be supporting that old HTTP 1.0 instruction. Anyone browsing updating sites that still rely on pragma no-cache may have to press F5 to see the latest version of the page--unless perhaps they change their browser.cache.check_doc_frequency setting from the default; I did not test that.

Hello Cyrano,
This Developer Forum focuses on the National Instruments product "Measurement Studio for Visual Basic" (formerly known as ComponentWorks). Our goal is to help people to better integrate this product into their test, measurement, and automation applications. Your question directly pertains to the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control. I think you would find an increased number of responses that are better focused on your question if you would repost it to a forum that specializes in general VB and internet programming. Good luck!

I cannot get the Nov. version of a web site, which changes monthly.I keep getting the Oct. version.The Nov. version can be accessed thru Internet Explorer.I've had this problem in the past.Waiting long enough (days or weeks) has resolved it.Please advise.

Nothing much to add.

Thanks for the reply. By the time I received it, the web site had already reset itself, so I could get the November information. A couple of questions: By clearing recent history or cache, do I lose the ability to start other websites by just starting the information on the URL? I'm not sure how much I want to lose in this process. Thanks again. Larry

How I get the newest version of iTune on my iPhone4 without connect to Mac or anyPCs ?

The problem is when I connect the IPhone to my Macbook it appear "the ITunes versions don't match on your IPhone and Mac." Then IPhone is not connect and sync with Mac.

The version of iTunes being referred to is on your MacBook, not on your iPhone. You need to update your MacBook to at least iTunes 10.6.3.

I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade. On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

This is happening to only certain websites. Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access. I appreciate any help.
Error message:
Cannot open page
Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured) - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.

I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?
