I was sent a url. Instead of Safari, it opened blank app store window; today, app shows 1 update available: GLIDE. Never downloaded it, not showing in settings?

I received an a text including a shrunk URL. I unshrunk the URL, www.glide.com. I then pressed link in message. Instead of opening Safari, a blank App store window opened. Later I noticed an update available in the app store. The update was for GLIDE video messaging app. I NEVER INSTALLED IT, and IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN SETTINGS. any ideas???

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Safari keeps opening links in new window instead of current

Hi
I have an iMac, everytime I click on a web link in Safari it opens it in a new window instead of the current window. So after a few minutes internet browsing I have loads & loads of windows open!!!
I have the Safari preferences set to open in 'Same Page', but no joy.
Can you help?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The Safari Preference Tab panel pertains in part to opening links from outside of Safari, e.g. Mail, or for using a command key to create a new tab. Within Safari, if a link is coded to open another window, it will do just that unless a command key is used, regardless of what's selected in the Tab panel.
With that said, for complete control over tabs, install 3rd party add-on Glims. Once installed, you'll find Glims' preferences as a separate panel within Safari Preferences (you may have to click on the directional arrows at the end of the Preference Panels to access it). In the Tabs misc panel, select "open link in a new tab". That will accomplish what you want, i.e. opening a new tab when a link within Safari is coded to open a new window.
You'll also find a number of very useful features in the other Glims sub-preference panel enhancing Safari usefulness.

Safari keep open page from cache, though the origin page has been available

This is weird. Safari keep opening a site with this error message:
501 Method Not Implemented
Method Not Implemented
GET to /indexfr.php not supported.
But when i'm opening the site with Firefox or Opera, the website displayed correctly. Even when i'm using curl/wget from Terminal, all html codes are displayed correctly. I know that about 1 month ago, all browser displayed the same (firefox, safari, opera, curl) 501 method not implemented. But after the remote site has been recovered, Firefox can correctly display the web page, while safari can't. It seemed that safari keep displaying the cached page.
I've tried empty the cache (from menu) many times, tried to push SHIFTCOMMANDR, tried to delete cache folder (~/Library/Cache/Safari), and also i've upgraded my safari to Safari 3 beta. All didn't work.
IMHO, when the remote site responded with 501 HTTP response, safari keep caching 'the http response', and i don't know how to delete it. This is very annoying since i have to switch to Firefox to browse that only site.
FYI: The remote site has more than one IP addresses, maybe i got this response from one of them. So, is it possible that safari keep caching the IP Address? and not to use round-robin behaviour? But i don't think so, because when i edited /etc/hosts to manually assign that site to one of the IP address, Safari still displayed 501 error message.
So, my main question is, how to completely start over Safari just like if we buy a new computer?
Sorry for my bad english
Powerbook G4 1.3 12' Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Ok, i've tried to put a question mark at the end of the url, but still got 501 Method not implemented.
I'm sure that my ISP doesn't cache web pages. Because when i tried with curl or wget (from command line), i got full html code. It is ok to browse the site with Firefox and Opera. And when i set my http proxy to our ISP's proxy, i can browse that site !!!
Here i provide some screenshots, please click:
Firefox OK, Safari Don't
Safari Don't ok. Proxy off. and my ISP doesn't do transparent caching.
Safari Don't ok. curl is fine!

Says I am connecte to a wifi network but can't access anything on Safari or open any apps. Help!!!

For the past few weeks since I have updated to ios 6 I am not able to open any apps (Facebook, Twitter, App Store, Instagram) and my Safari will not open any pages. It loads and loads then a message shows up saying "Safari could no open the webpage becuase the server stopped responding." I have tried everything including Resetting the Network as well as a full reset of my ipad (done at the apple store). I am still having the same issues. If someone could please help me with this as this is getting extremely frustrating! My Iphone 4 is having the same issue as well. But when it comes to WIFI at other locations it seems to be fine, only at home is where I am having this issue.

I just bought a new wireless router/modem from my internet provide (Shaw) and I'm still having the same issue. My laptop is working fine. It's only the iphone 4 and ipad 2 I'm having issues with.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
Select the "Open With" Box
Change it to "Preview"
Then select the box just beneath it
"Change All."
This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

Itouch safari only opens links in new windows

It only started a little while ago but my itouch suddenly ONLY opens link in new windows which can get frustrating. Anyone know if this is normal now or if there is a problem I can fix?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select Tabs from the Menu. Perhaps your settings changed after the update.
Also, if you didn't repair disk permissions after the Safari 5 update, it would be beneficial to do that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

App Store is not opening. Email and Safari are opening but App Store does not saying cannot connect, App Store is not opening. Email and Safari are opening but App Store does not saying cannot connect

even with my phone connected on wifi App Store gives a message "cannot connect to App Store". This when email and Safari are working normally.

Mr Brett, thanks for the reply but my situation remains unchanged. Let me amplify my problem.
My Mac Book, iPad and iPhone are using the same WiFi connection. Every device is able to connect to the internet, email connectivity is good, safari is working perfectly, Apple Store is fully accessible (except on the iPhone) and updates have been received for IOS as well as the various apps.
It is only on the iPhone 6 that message"cannot connect to appstore...." is being displayed whenever App Store is invoked. Surprisingly if i keep pressing the "update" button the page indeed opens but only for a second and I have been able to press update buttons for apps in that second. The app is even getting updated even as the message "Cannt..." continues to be displayed. However, the other buttons like "Featured" "Top Charts" "Explore" and "Search" are not opening for at all. Only the message "Cannot connect to App Store" is displayed.
Help!!

I just did a software update and iPhoto was on that update. Now, when I open iPhoto app, I get this message:Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may ta

if I click Upgrade, will I lose my photos (over 10,000).

OT is correct. I was a little freaked by that message a few days ago... especially after spending time reading people's freak outs about access to data after making the iCloud switch. But since I had a backup copy on two other drives, I went for it because I could see no alternative.
Update went through, and all my photos are still there

I hooked my ipod to my computer, went in to itunes and it was unable to commumicate saying i have to up date to 10.4.1 or something??? it has no updates available and ionternet was working and no updates available, other issues it is not working now..

I have hooked up my sons ipod that is about a year old, seems like an iphone 3 style and received last christmas
I tried to add songs on his ipod and it said that unable to perform as i had to update to 10.4.1 or somthing like that. i tried to go to settings, updates and i said that all updates were completed and the latest was 6.3 or something like that6.1.1 ???
anyway there was no update, and during having it hooked up, i tried to locate it with itunes and now it fails to swipe left or right on the screen,
The off button on the top was not working since new. also not sure why this happened but didn't return it as it was a gift and didn't have a receipt.
i can get to settings, and only the first page, it won't scroill up or down, unable to turn off since new, and when swiping to turn on the picture in middle gets a square box around it and then it notices that my finger is on the swipe section and will attempt to open and after a few swipes it will open.
it also appears like the buttons or screen has to be pushed twice to work, but sometimes you have to type or press your selection 5-10 times to have it respond???

How to get SAFARI to open as a FULL WINDOW Screen

Hey there people.
Please help. How do I open Safari and get it to fill the whole screen rather than just the middle. I've looked up preferences and general appearances but nothing seems to indicate full screen. It's annoying as I cannot see the full webpage and having to scroll to the right all the time.
Thanks in advance.
Joanna

Hi Joanna,
Sadly, Safari doesn't offer full screen as a standard option. You can get Saft (http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/index.html), an extension (shareware) for Safari, that will allow you to do fullscreen with Safari and add many other options to it.
If you don't feel like paying anything for fullscreen, you can get Firefox 2 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/) and eventually get the much faster and better Firefox 3 (that will be release in the coming months).
P.S.: Next time, try posting in the right category of the forum, hence Safari. You'll get a faster answer. (http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1)

Safari only opens blank pages

Please help! My safari will not load any pages. It attempts to load a page but nothing happens. It seems to stall when loading... I can open a new tab but every address I type in will not load. I've tried to force quit- no luck. I've tried to log into safari a as guest and check safari and no luck. I rebooted, and even safe mode rebooted and no luck. What should I try next?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Safari page opens dark, chaotic, scrambled windows, slanted windows

For several versions of Safari to include the latest, the first page opens dark and with slanted colorful windows. It makes it impossible to pick something on the page or to go to another link on the page because it is un-readable. What can I do? I have removed and reloaded several times with the same results.

hmmm weird , your best off going into edit, prefrences and going onto apperances , play around with the font smoothing and other things on there

Just installed Yosemite okay. But Safari stays open. Cannot close window to get back to my desktop. No red button on the screen.

Just installed Yosemite okay. But Safari window stays open, cannot close to get back to my desktop. No "red button" on the screen.

You might have full screen enabled. Try File menu: Quit or key commands: Command + Q. Or, just hit the Escape key (esc).

I was sent a url. Instead of Safari, it opened blank app store window; today, app shows 1 update available: GLIDE. Never downloaded it, not showing in settings?
