It is hard to open gmail in Safari. Why is it like that?

Why is it hard to open gmail in Safari?

"Why is it hard to insert photos properly in Pages?" Because it is a stunningly buggy, poorly designed, and feature-starved piece of software. It was the removal of features that first captured most users' attention, but it has gradually been dawning on people that 1. the software really is shockingly buggy and 2. just not well designed: the new format panel, e.g., is not just a screen-real- estate hog, it makes even the simplest formatting MUCH more difficult.  The design for iOS devices is actually much easier to use. Pages for the Mac really is, as one early reviewer put it, an "unmitigated disaster." It is every bit as bad as the Apple Maps app, but I guess no one much cares about word processing, or maybe it's just that most who do use Word. More and more people who used to use Pages will be doing that in the future.

  • When I open gmail in Safari it opens to the spam tab. Can I change this to the Priority tab?  How?

    I would prefer to use Safari, but have a problem with it in connection to gmail, my preferred mail account.  When I open gmail in Safari it always goes directly to the "Spam" tab in gmail.  (I have three gmail tabs for sorting mail:  Priority, Social and Spam.) To get to the mail that I care about (Priority) I have to close that Spam tab and then open the "Priority" tab. How can I change the settings so that when I open Gmail it is the Priority tab content that shows first on my screen?  In Firefox, Priority mail is the first thing I see when I open Gmail. Why isn't this true in Safari? And how can I make it so?

    Hi alanbala,
    There are several possible reasons why the new window opens in the background and not in the foreground by default.
    # another installed program is causing this
    # the Firefox main window is set to Always on Top
    # probably a Windows 7 bug
    # possibly a Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013]
    What you can do is
    # update your Windows 7 to the latest security patches
    # open Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode (see KB article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]])
    # evaluate the other programs installed on your computer
    # open new links on a new tab
    Let us know your progress. I will be following this support thread.

  • Can't open gmail in safari

    today i can’t open gmail in safari. of course google is of no help. anyone else having this issue today?

    By use of direct login to their site for webmail, there is no issue here.
    A few days or up to a week ago, there had been reported issues with
    gmail and they managed to fix some causes of that problem. Of course
    when you aren't using a client software to access webmail, there may
    be less issues than when it is set up to negotiate incoming/outgoing
    download/uploads.
    The problem may be based on your geographic location, too.

  • Getting "no longer supported" message when opening gmail though Safari on Windows based laptop.  Are others having problem?  Any solutions?

    I have been using Safari to access a gmail account for about a year.    Today, I got a message that Safari is no longer supported by gmail and I need to upgrade.  But I'm using the latest version of Safari. as far as I can tell.  Anyone else getting this message?  Is there a solution?
    Also having issues with yahoo mail, as of today, when using Safari, but I'll post that on a separate forum question.  I am mentioning it here because I wonder if the 2 are related. Gmail message appeared for first time today but I was getting this message from Yahoo earlier this year.  I tried the work around found on this and Yahoo forum but could only get "basis" to work on Yahoo.  .Today, even basic yahoo is not acting the same, reformating and showing commands in the text when I try to reply to an email.  Annoying.

    Google seem to have decided in the last week or so that Safari 5.x, which is the newest Safari version available for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is "not supported" any more, even though there are many reasons for staying with these OS X versions.
    Try this (at your own risk, but it works for me), as it seems to remove the message by tricking Gmail into thinking your Safari version is newer:
    -- Quit Safari
    -- Locate the following file (location depends on your OS X version):
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.pl ist
    OS X 10.5 Leopard and older:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
    -- Drag the file to your Mac's desktop to make a copy. Also make a safe copy somewhere else eg your Documents folder, as if you lose or mess up the file Safari will not launch at all. Having a backup browser is also recommended.
    -- Double-click it to open it in TextEdit
    -- Locate the CFBundleVersion value (the last line in the file that has numbers in it) and increment the second digit of it to the required version of Safari e.g. Safari 6 now seems to be the minimum version that Google support so change the second number from 5 to 6 (don't change anything else, only the change the second number). The value is different depending on your OS X version but as an example, for Snow Leopard 6534.59.10 becomes 6634.59.10
    -- Drag the file back from the desktop to its original location, choose the option to replace the old version, and enter your password when prompted.
    -- Run a permissions repair in Disk Utility to set the permissions in the file back to what they should be (not required, but good practice).
    -- Launch Safari and test Gmail.

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

  • Can't open Gmail with Safari 5.0.6 and OS 10.5.8

    I just downloaded the latest available Safari onto my Imac.
    Now my Gmail page will not open. All I get is a blank white page.
    Any thoughts on what causes this?
    I am using OS 10.5.8 so that Safari 5.0.6 would be the latest version for me.
    I just did the regular software update and now cannot use Gmail.

  • Cannot open gmail with safari

    Hi,
    I am experiencing a problem with Safari, since it does not open my Gmail account. It does not work at all, I cannot open them....I read many comments and forums already, so I see it is any issue for many others.
    I already reset Safari, Emptied cache, tried Gmail in html format but the problem still persists, no solutions were found yet.
    I have May OSX 10.6.8, Intel Core 2 Duo (software updates do not work in my case since the memory is not big enough)
    The current version of Safari on my mac: 5.1.10
    Any idea how I could fix this issue?
    Thanks a lot.

    If you are on Snow Leopard as your info implies - switch to another web browser -- I am using Opera, others are using Firefox.
    Google no longer supports older browsers -- Apple no longer updates snow leopard.
    Others option is to update apple os -- before doing so - check to see that your printers, etc are supported for that release -- reason I am still at Snow leopard - any later and its generic driver or no driver for printer and scanner --- the hidden cost of free.

  • Cannot open gmail in Safari on mini with yosemite

    gmail will not open in Safari on my new Mac mini. it will open in safe mode and it will open in Chrome and Firefox. Apple has been unable to find a solution. Is it possible to reinstall Safari?

    Thought I was the only who has this problem.... but I discover a little annoying trick:
    1- Type YouTube in your search browser
    2- Will redirect you to YouTube app > tap twice home button and force to quit YouTube app
    3- Type again YouTube in your search browse > will showing "open this page in YouTube "Cancel or Open" > Cancel
    4- Type again YouTube in your search browser > and be happy you did it!
    Note: Always keep the same tab you open initially YouTube if you don't do this you have repeat the steps again.......
    Sorry for the picture I did faster.
    Have a good one!

  • I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

    My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop  iMac, stops working periodically.  The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all.  Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

    Hello:
    Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper.  Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

  • HT201269 i have copied pictures from my old ipod 4th gen to my computer, i recently got a new ipod 4th gen today, i transferred all of my music, but when i open the folder to the DCIM (something like that) it will not let me copy the two photo folders, pl

    I need help on how to copy photos from my old 4th gen ipod touch to my new one, i have the folders but when i try to put them in the main folder (DCIM) it shows a red X as it will not allow me to copy them, please i need help these pics cannot be replaced!!

    I do not really understand what you are doing to get them from the iPod to the computer.
    First import them to the computer by:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    The sync them to the the other device

  • Safari won't open Gmail

    For the past week, I cannot open Gmail in Safari; I just receive a message saying "Bad Request error 400". I am, however, able to check my gmail via firefox on the Mac, and on any other computer I choose.
    Does anybody else have this problem? Am guessing this is due to the wonderful 10.5.6 update.

    Same thing happens to me while trying to login to Gmail. I just reset Safari and try to login again. It works! Safari>Reset Safari>Check all> Clear history, Empty the cache, Clear the Downloads window, Remove all cookies, Remove all website icons, Remove saved names and passwords, Remove other AutoFill form text, Clear Google searches and Close all Safari Windows.
