How do I prevent pages from loading in native language of ISP

I'm currently in China and pages have started to load in Chinese. They used to load in English. I don't know what's changed? How do I make sure they always load in English?

Hi chris:
It might not help, but I think I would reset Safari, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and then restart.

P.S. As an additional thought have you tried an alternate browser? I use Firefox for checking things like this. If both browsers behave the same, the problem lies outside Safari.

  • How do I prevent firefox from loading page when I type in first few letters?

    I am giving my laptop to my daughter. I deleted history and emptied cache. Yet if she were to type the letter 'c', an adult site I have visited pops up - WITH MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD ALREADY TYPED IN! This gives her full access to my adult activity on the site.
    How do I prevent this from happening? I want to totally remove this site from firefox's 'memory', especially the username and password.

    To log you out of all websites your gonna want to clear the cookies:
    * Firefox in top left corner > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies >Remove all Cookies
    I would also recommend resetting Firefox if you are no longer gonna use it yourself :
    * Firefox in top left corner>Help>Troubleshooting Information>Reset Firefox
    See here for more information:
    [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]

  • BUG: IE11, windows 8.1 enhanced protected mode prevents pages from loading. Slow browsing experiece

    if enhanced protected mode is enabled in IE11 on windows 8.1 it prevents many pages from loading in a timely manner.
    eg. TechNet.microsoft.com; dotnetcurry.com
    this is reproducible on multiple machines.
    please resolve.

    Hi,
    Based on my test, it works fine on my windows 8.1 with IE 11.
    Firstly, we need to check the following:
    1.  Do you mean the issue is only occurred when you enable the enhanced protected mode?
    2.  How about other browsers? Do they also meet the same issue?
    3.  If there is a computer on the other network, please check if it also meets this issue.
    Please try the following to check the issue:
    1. Disable the security software temporarily and see if it works.
    2.  Reinstall the IE 11 for a test.

  • How do I prevent Pages from changing earlier parts of a document when I am in an 8 page newsletter. Going back to check something and items are jumbled up!

    How can I stop Pages from changing parts of a document when I am progressing through an 8 page newsletter. When I go back to check something some headings have moved and been put out of context. I can't lock the individual pages of the document to prevent this happening.

    The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
    Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
    I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
    To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.

  • How to stop a page from loading?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to stop a webpage from loading (i.e. before it finishes)..? This page, for example:
    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/gameflash/2011/06/04/36460_recap.h tml
    When I click on the "X" (or type Cmd+period) i want to cease ALL communication with whatever website is in the address bar. I don't want periodic updates, i dont' want animated ads to finish loading, i don't want my screen rearranged.... nothing. I WANT TO TERMINATE ALL CONTACT WITH THAT WEBSITE until such time that i might click on "reload".  And i should be able to do this without having to yank out my ethernet cable.
    This may be a more general problem that applies to Firefox as well. 

    Huh, i didn't realize the escape key did something different than Cmd+period. It seems to work but i'll have to try it with some of the peskier websites.... Thanks.

  • How can I prevent Facebook from loading on web pages?

    When I load webpages, they are slow and always waiting for Facebook to load. I don't want Facebook nor any other social media loading unless I go on their site. Can this be blocked?

    You can install an addon called Ghostery that disables Facebook Connect and other scripts from running.
    You'll be able to find it at http://addons.mozilla.org
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a way to prevent pages from loading slowly or not loading at all?

    pages load extremely fast at first and its great but after a few min fire fox does not load or loads extremely slowly. there is only one way to get it to load and that is by opening and then closing a new tab.

    Hey SchenkerBob,
    It is possible to disable non-system fonts temporarily for all applications using the Font Book application. This article explains how to do so -
    Mac Basics: Font Book - Apple Support
    In particular -
    Disable and enable specific fonts
    In situations where you'd like to prevent a font from being available in applications, but you don't want to completely remove the font from your Mac, you can use Font Book to disable the font.
    In Font Book, click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Click the name of the font in the Font column.
    Choose Disable "Font Name" Family from the Edit menu.
    Since it might be problematic to have to disable each font individually, you can create a collection of fonts and disable the collection. See the article for how to create a font collection -
    Organize fonts as collections
    When working with fonts, you may discover that you use certain fonts frequently, but rarely use others. To make it easier to find the font you are looking for, you can organize your fonts into collections.
    From the Font Book File menu, choose New Collection.
    Type in a name for the new collection.
    Click "All Fonts" in the Collection column.
    Drag the fonts that you want from the Font column onto the name of your new collection in the Collection column.
    You can then disable collections of fonts -
    You can also disable or enable all fonts in a collection: Click the name of the collection in the Collection column, then choose Disable "Collection Name" or EnableCollection Name" " from the Edit menu. 
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,
    Brett L 

  • How do I prevent Pages from pushing paragraphs to next page when they would otherwise begin on the last line of the previous page?

    I am writing papers for school which have strict page limits so I can't afford to be losing lines at the bottom of a page because Pages thinks it looks better to have a new paragraph start on the next page. It does this automatically and I have to go back and manually format to get the first line of the paragraph to start on the last line of the previous page. This then creates problems down the line when I am editing so I would really like to be able to turn the feature off.
    e.g. with Pages auto-formatting
    -----page 1-----
         Paragraph #1 blah blah
    blah blah blah
         Paragraph #2 blah blah
    blah blah blah
    -----page 2-----
         Paragraph #3 blah blah
    blah blah
    e.g. after manual formatting
    -----page 1-----
         Paragraph #1 blah blah
    blah blah blah
         Paragraph #2 blah blah
    blah blah blah
         Paragraph #3 blah blah
    -----page 2-----
    blah blah

    Change the keep with next rules in:
    Inspector > Text > More > Pagination & Break

  • How can I prevent pages from opening documents from last session

    During my last session using Pages I selected and opened several documents. These documents were image heavy and pages froze.  Now I can't open any document without pages trying to open all these documents and freezing.   I've spent two hours trying to open a simple document     This is a major design flaw if it can't be turned off. 
    This is on a 2010 iMac running Lion and up to date Pages

    Close any documents before quitting Pages & they won't open the next time Pages is launched. Unless you're shutting down your Mac, I don't see any reason to quit Pages.
    You can use the free Lion Tweaks or TinkerTool to turn off resume for individual applications. I prefer TinkerTool.

  • The phrase ADS in any url prevents page from loading

    two sites that do this are
    https://online.metrocu.org/banking/Ads/Home/Intercept/SignInIntercept?returnUrl=%2Fbanking%2F
    (my credit union)
    and
    http://www.mabcommunity.org/ads/home.html?view=featured
    MAB Boston Disability services
    I've tried shutting off my ad blocker, but this is still happening; anything you can do to help will be great.

    In case one of your other extensions is involved, could you test those pages in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • How to prevent images from loading?

    I am working on creating a web gallery in Dreamweaver CS3.  The thumbnails are in a horizontal strip within a layer above the full sized image layer, in other words the strip is  hiding part of the image, but only when the image is in a vertical orientation. (the strip has no background, so all that is visible are the actual thumbnails) Upon clicking show/hide text , in a toggle configuration, the strip fades, or shows.   On my computer it works perfectly. However, once uploaded, it takes forever to load the images.
    The problem: Although I have the thumbnail images are set to preload,  all of the full size images are loading as well, which takes alot of time. Is there a way to prevent the full sized images from loading, i.e. only when the thumbnail is clicked?
    Frames, in which one frame is thumbnails, and another the is images, is what I normally would use, and have a page for each image. However, for what I have in mind, it will not work (transparency on parts of one frame above another is as far as I can tell not possible).
    So how do I prevent images from loading until called for?  regards~bill-o

    t would help if you posted a link to the page, but I can guess that you have properly diagnosed the cause - the page is encumbered with the weight of all of the full-sized images.
    The only way to not have this happen would be to dynamically write the link to the full sized-images on demand, as it were.  In other words, the link ISN'T EVEN ON THE PAGE until you have clicked on the corresponding thumbnail, and only at that point is the weight of that image experienced.  One easy way to do this is to use the SetText of Container behavior that is part of DW's native arsenal of behaviors.  When the thumb is clicked, the SetText behavior is called to write the image link into the enlarged image's container. Need to see a demo?  Look here -
    http://dreamweaverresources.com/tutorials/settextoflayer.htm
    The behavior is called "Set Text of Container", and using it will meet all of your requirements.
    To use it, you will have to have the following:
    1.  A page with a 'container' which is to receive the enlarged image - this could be a table cell, a paragraph tag, a div, or even a span tag.
    2.  That container will have to be identified with an ID attribute and a valid value, e.g., <div id="enlargedImage">.
    3.  A dummy page containing each enlarged image, placed sequentially on the page.
    To implement the effect, do the following:
    1.  Open the dummy page in Code view, and select the first image's tag, e.g., <img src="images/foo.jpg" width="123" height="256" alt="whatever" /> (XHTML syntax shown here).
    2.  Switch to the actual page, select a thumb that will 'open' this enlarged image, and enter "javascript:;" (that's colon semicolon) in the 'Link' field of the Property inspector to make this thumbnail image a null link.
    3.  Apply the Set Text of Container behavior.
    4.  Paste the clipboard into the dialog for the behavior, and click OK to close the dialog.
    5.  Examine the Behavior panel to see which mouse event has been defaulted - probably 'onclick'.  If you would rather have this be 'onmouseover' use the Behavior panel Event selector (the dark triangle to the right of the event name) to select 'onmouseover'.
    5.  Repeat from #1 above until all thumbs have been treated.
    Let us know if this does not make sense

  • How do prevent firefox from loading(going to) a website(following a link, etc...) that i never want to see again(example: choose now & click on some link in the future)?

    I go to a website(link, etc...) & I never want to go there again, but sometime(anytime) later I come across some page that seems to be useful. I click on a link, and the other required links until I find that it is a waste of time & I then kind of remember having been there in the past & have wasted all this time again. This happening for many different sites over time.

  • I don't see a way to stop a page from loading. There is no "X" in the tool bar like there used to be, so how do I do it in Firefox Beta?

    When I change my mind about loading a page I don't see anyway to stop it from building or to cancel the action. I tried to research "stop" at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20Reference?s=%22url+bar%22&as=s#w_stop regarding the main window reference menu but nothing of what I read there seemed applicable. It appears "Stop" is supposed to be under "View", but I did not find it there. Please help! I want a simple click of the mouse action to prevent a page from loading!

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

    You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).<br />
    You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
