Help!  Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh!  Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?).  The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops.  I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it. 
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari. 
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem?  How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

  • Safari won't fully load or open Youtube, ESPN, gaming websites, and others.

    Starting around yesterday, I haven't been able to fully load Youtube, some sports sites, and gaming websites.  I don't know what kind of issue this is, but i suspect it might be about Flash.  Thanks in advance.

    First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • I have an iPad screen that won't swipe.  I cannot connect it to Itunes because it's locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have a 16GM Mini IPad.  The screen won't swipe.  I tried resetting it but that didn't work.  I attempted to connect to ITunes to try a restore but I can't do that.  This is because the IPad is locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • 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.

  • Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

    Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Safari won't show some web pages properly.

    After re-loading OS X 10.3.9 on my Powerbook g4 1.25ghz, 1.25memory and updating all updates. Safari now won't load Facebook completely. All other web pages seem to be loading OK. I usually use Firefox but I can't seem to get ANY version of that web browser to load now. So I'm stuck with Safari that won't load Facebook.
    I've tried deleting caches and Safari prefs…didn't work.

    Ok..
    That's an outdated version of Safari for sure and explains why web pages aren't rendering as they should for you.
    Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
    Hopefully the Software Update will bring your Mac up to speed. Make sure and restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    In case you aren't aware, you can run Tiger or Leopard on your PBookG4.
    Tiger v10.4 minimum requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1514
    Minimum requirements for Leopard v10.5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
    You are running an outdated Mac OS X, v10.3. Apple released Panther in 2003. Unless you upgrade the Mac OS X and Safari, you will continue to have problems using Facebook and other sites as well on the PBook.

  • Safari won't open certain web pages

    Hi,
    I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
    2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
    can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

    I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
    to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.
