IPhone Safari Cache Query/Offline Webpage Access

Hi,
OK so I'm thinking of getting an iPhone to replace my Windows based PCC phone.
One of the things I use most is my eBook reader which I know is not supported by the iPhone and I can't find any software that I can use at present.
I've had an idea and wanted to run it by anyone who can either try it or has an answer.
What I thought of was publishing my eBook as a single page on my home website. Then I could use Safari to access the book as a HTML page and read it from there.
My question is :- would I need to be constantly connected to the web (via Edge or Wifi) in order to read the book or could I just connect initially, have Safari cache the entire book as a web page and then read it 'offline'
I'm particularly interested in whether I could 'reload' the book page after closing Safari e.g would Safari load the cached page.
The books aren't very big, certainly less than a couple of meg so I'd hope Safari can cope.
I definately be looking to keep the entire book to a single page so Safari only has to cache it once.
Any suggestings, views, comments appreciated.

Yep, that did it. Thanks!
Must have turned it off or something...

HT1688 How come I cannot access the iCloud website on my iPhone Safari browser the way I access it and login on my MAC and PC?

The iCloud website featuring the new beta programs for Numbers, Pages and Keynote is available on my Safari browser on Mac and PC but not available on my ISO7 iPhone. Am I doing something wrong?

Because you can't. If you want to use those apps on your phone, download them from the app store.

My MacBook uses Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I am unable to access some websites, such as Facebllk, Gooogle, etc, but I can access other websites such as MSN, Amazon. I have emptied the Safari cache with no change. Appreciate any help.

Safari loads (freezes loading) webpages very slow on iPhone 4

Hi!
I have a problem with Safari on my iPhone 4 (4.2.1). Since I upgraded to 4.2.1 a week ago Safari is very slow and in 80% of time wont load webpages with first time when in 3G mode with strong bars. Well it loads them but very slowly (It takes approximately 20-30 seconds to load google or other pages). Maybe it would be more precisely to say that it starts to load, than the blue progress bar just stops at around 1/2cm and than after 20-30 seconds it actually starts to open the page and the blue progress bar continues to move. Sometimes (not often) after those 20-30 seconds I get message that page can't be opened cause server stopped to respond...
What is important to my mind is that if I press reload while Safari is loading a webpage it opens fast as it should. So it usually works with second try.
Since I noticed this problem after I upgraded to 4.2.1 I think those two things have connection (4.2.1 and Safari problem) but I might be wrong.
This is happening in different locations around the city and it is not problem with coverage...I have three, four or sometimes even 5 bars 3G.
Anybody having the same problem or can help me with some advice?
Thank you!

Webpage searches (FB, IMDB) crash iPad/iPhone Safari

Facebook live search or IMDB live search on their respective websites always crash my ipad and iphone safari. Solution?
By live search I mean when you enter letters, it starts bringing up results immediately. Strangely the google one doesn't crash Safari.

Can you explain how you enable live searches on these sites? Can you upgrade your iOS to the latest version (4.3)? No use troubleshooting an out-of-date OS.

Clearing Safari Cache Automatically when it Quits

I work for a school district that uses Safari 2.0.4 on eMac’s running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 and the students have their network home folders located on a 10.4.8 Server.
I would like to have Safari clear its cache every time a student quits Safari or logs out, but don’t see a way to have this done automatically. Is there a script or utility out there that clears the cache automatically?
Thanks for the help!

Hello again,
Ok, let's give this a go then
Personally, for editing scripts I like to use the command line 'vi' editor, but for starting with that may scare you off so lets use the regular TextEditor application for the time being.
Fire up TextEditor and open a new document. Change the type of the document to be a plain text file. This can be done via the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option (if it says Make Rich Text, then the file is already in plain text mode).
In the editor, copy and paste the following, but remove the line numbers I've added:
1 #!/bin/bash
2
3 logFile=/tmp/SafariCleanerLog.txt
4
5 echo "-----------------" >> $logFile
6 echo `date` >> $logFile
7 echo "" >> $logFile
8 echo "Deleting Safari cache files in: $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/" >> $logFile 2>&1
9 echo "" >> $logFile
10
11 rm -rf $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/* >> $logFile 2>&1
Some lines may appear to wrap around in the webpage, so use the line numbers as your guide to know if something is supposed to fit on one line or not.
This is what it does:
- The 1st line indicates what particular shell application to use to execute this script (/bin/bash in this case)
- The 3rd creates a variable that I'm using to store the path to a log file for what this script is doing
- Lines 5 to 9 append some logging information to the logfile we've decided to report to
- Line 11 does the actual deletion of the Safari cache files. rm is short for remove, aka delete, and the -rf means recursively (i.e. all subdirectories in the Safari cache folder) and forceably (i.e. don't askif you are sure for each and every file). The cryptic 2>&1 at the very end is to make any error messages that rm might generate appear in our logfile. If you try out the commands to see how they work, please please please be very careful with rm, once a file has been rm'ed its gone - it doesn't go to the Trashcan
Note that if you want to see more about what each of these commands do, you can use the man pages either from the Terminal itself or here. ('echo' is a built-in command to bash, so you would need to read the bash manpage for information on that)
Ok, so now we have a script. Save that on your Desktop with a name that makes sense for you (e.g. SafariCacheCleaner.sh - sh is the standard extension used to indicate something is a script, it's not required)
Now we need to execute a few Terminal commands to make this work when a student logs out. Fire up the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
The first thing we need is somewhere to place the script that is out of bounds to regular users, students, etc. OS X already has an area for scripts in /Library/Scripts/, so you may want to create your own area under this folder. For example, I created a 'Custom' folder via the following:
sudo mkdir /Library/Scripts/Custom
You may want to replace Custom with something else, like SchoolAdmin for instance. sudo is a command that gives the executor temporary administration rights. When you press return after typing the above command, you will be asked for a password - enter the password for your current user account and press return (note that you will not see anything appear in the Terminal while you are typing, this is a security feature).
Next up, we need to copy the script to this location and give it the correct permissions to be executed:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/SafariCacheCleaner.sh /Library/Scripts/Custom/
sudo chmod 755 /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheCleaner.sh
In this case, sudo will probably not prompt you for the password as it trusts access for a few minutes. If you leave things for, say, 10 minutes, it would ask you for your password again.
cp is the command for copying files/folders.
chmod is used to change permissions on a file. In this case, 7 means the owner of the file can write/read/execute the file, the first 5 means anyone in the same unix group as the owner can read/execute the file and the second 5 means everyone else can read/execute it.
Lastly, we need to tell OS X that we want this script to run everytime a user logs out. This can be done with the following command (this is one long line that the browser may wrap):
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheReset.sh
Hopefully, that should be it. You can test it out by logging out of your account and logging back in. The /Users/YourUsername/Library/Caches/Safari/ should be sparkling clean now.
I've tried to be a bit verbose to explain what's going on, so it's not as complex as it may look at first.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask - it's better to be sure of what you are doing when it comes to the Terminal sometimes.

How do I stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport?

Sorry I post this here, but I couldn't access the developer forums (no error given, it just keeps returning me to this page https://developer.apple.com/devforums/) I'm not even sure wether that's been moved here and it's just the redirection non working.
I need to Stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport, or in other words, to stop it from trying to "fit" the layout into the viewport.
Why?
Because any recalculation javascript does on absolutely positioned elements makes the whole site super IRRESPONSIVE.
I don't know wether the issue is the element going out the already-set layout viewport (which triggers the page resizing to fit the visual viewport) or just the calculations being made constantly, but I can stop the calculations from happening when not "touching" the screen, but I need a way to stop the page resizing.
I tried setting the viewport width to 1040px, as my layout width, and it fixed the header's width being narrower than the body (or shifted left?), but the whole page is still resized with every motion-frame (one every 3 seconds, due to overloading the redrawing engine)
Is there a way to prevent that?

No, that link doesn't solve it. It just says the same is found everywhere online.
There's probably no way to do it, as per their way they "accidentally" omitted the oposite case: the page being wider than 980. They only mention what to do if the site is narrower. Something I learned is big companies (with reputation management) could let you run in circles for years no answer rather than telling you something is not possible.
I'm the developer (can't access the dev forums, don't know why) and I DID setup the viewport, scale and other properties but none of them stopped from re-fitting the new re-sized layout in the viewport. They just ensure the "initial" view.
I think the feature I'm looking for must be achieved with some JavaScript function targeting Safari-proprietary variable/property… if even possible.
I just had to make things never reaching the edge until somebody contributes something useful

Is it possible to find readable info in safari cache

We are using Safari the OS is Leopard.
I wondered if it is possible to view a web page off line from the Safari Cache in a readable form for non techies. We know the date & time we visited the page
The information we want is the kind of info we can view in the activity window of Safari after we have visited a web page. I have tried cachediskinspector but it doesn't work in Leopard although it seems that it would give the info I am looking for
Thanks for your help

thank you both for taking the trouble to reply
I had already tried filejuicer without any success - I need to be able to open something for a certain time & date. I emailed the person who developed the programme & he said that filejuicer wouldn't be able to do what I needed although he thought there should be a way of finding what I need
Tried the history hound & that doesn't seem to give what I need either - I need to know what was on the webpage when I visited rather than a list of sites I visited have tried cachediskinspector using tiger & that would give me exactly what I need but it hasn't been updated for use on Leopard
If anyone else has any ideas I would be REALLY grateful
thanks again

Safari not loading any webpages after 10.7.3 update.

I did the update through software update, and I saw a lot of people having errors with that, but i did not get the cui error, my only issue is safari stopped loading any webpages.
If I try to enter an address in the bar and hit enter, it just beachballs, and than nothing happens, before it used to just keep trying to load it.
I than downloaded the combo updater, opened the dmg, and installed over it, restarted and same issue
Prior to the combo update I repaired any file permissions as well.
How do I get safari to work properly again?
I even uninstalled the clicktoflash extension.
TIA.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes click Reset.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file form the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If pages load, move that .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
See if that helps. If not, go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deslect: Enable plug ins
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If Safari loads pages, then you need to troublleshoot Safari add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues'
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that. And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. See if that helps.

It seems the safari 5 update broke firefox access to apple developer forums

I can't seem to access the "Apple Developer Forums" link on the page: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
I had been accessing this fine through firefox, but after I did the safari 5 update last night, it seems I can only use safari 5 to get access. Does anyone know what the story is?
I get a 404 I think because it can't find an error doc to handle the get issue:
+Request Entity Too Large+
+The requested resource+
/iphone/discussionForum.action
+does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.+
+Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.+
+Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/5.2.6 mod_jk/1.2.25 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at developer.apple.com Port 80+

It has been fixed.

Safari and iTunes having problems accessing secure sites

I've been having problems with iTunes not being able to access the iTunes Store. I can browse the store but can not add anything to my shopping cart. I decided it was time to see if Safari was having problems with secure sites and sure enough I discovered that it can not access secure sites either. The only way I've been able to access secure sites is via Firefox.
A typical scenerio is that I can not log onto my Apple ID. As soon as I click on the "sign in ID" link I get a pop-up stating that a secure connection to store.apple.com can not be established.
So far I've tried clearing the Safari cache and deleting site keys from my stored key chains. Nothing helps.
I'm running Safari 1.3.1 and iTunes 4.9.

Can anyone help?

IPhone Safari does not support CitiBank Online banking

I have tried repeatedly to access my online banking account without success. I just got off the phone with CitiBank. The iPhone Safari is not compatible with their online banking system. Reminds me very much of the first beta version of Safari which did not support online banking either. Apple please update Safari for the iPhone.

Safari for iPhone fully supports what Citibank is doing. It is Citibank that is choosing to only allow specific browsers, if they are blocking you.
It is Citibank that needs to allow iPhone Safari; there is nothing Apple can do technically to change this.

How to stop Safari caching?

When I visit this discussion group in Safari on my iPhone using the link,
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1274, I often get old versions of the page.
Is there some way to force Safari to stop caching and get the latest page?

There is not. However, you can clear your Safari cache in Settting > Safari > Clear Cache

Im trying to help someone locate their lost iPhone. Why can't I access the Fine My iPhone app from my iPhone? I can only get the page to install it on my phone.

I am trying to locate someone's lost iPhone using the "Find my iPhone" app. Why does safari keep re-directing me to the install Find My iPhone page? Why can't I log in to MobileMe from my iphone?

Apple don't give access to the MobileMe web site from an iPhone. To use the service you need to use apps, like the Find My iPhone app.

TS4020 How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account. Note: The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
