Must scroll to use link on safari

I have an iPad mini 2. I recently upgraded to iOS 8.1 and noticed that I had to scroll the page before I was able to access any link... Any suggestions?

Try holding your finger on the link then tapping open.

  • Can I use gmail as default client for sharing photos from camera roll or links from safari?

    I use the Gmail app for my Gmail stuff (my normal default email address).  I use yahoo with apples mail app.  When I try to send a link from safari or share a photo I have taken from my camera roll, it sends using my yahoo email.  I would prefer Gmail as my yahoo email is only around for fantasy sports.
    Is there any way to do this?
    I have tried setting up Gmail using apples setup in an attempt to make a gmail send only type of account, however it tells me an account is already set up, maybe due to my using of googles calendar and googles contacts?  Can't seem to figure out how to properly do this.  Maybe remove my calender and contacts stuff completely and try to re-setup the mail account (since I am using the gmail app, I wouldn't think it would hook into the native ios mail one)?
    Any ideas?

    Rock- I have google contacts set up as a CardDav account.  Apparently I must have had google calendar set up using the standard ios gmail account setup for mail, while just turning the mail function to "off" in the settings. This was why I could not add a gmail account...I already had done this lol.
    I tried a couple of things and still couldn't figure it out.  I can't add an ics subscribed calendar for some reason as it isn't enable to authenticate.  Nor can I set up a simple CalDav calendar, despite my settings being correct, it wasn't able to successfully authenticate either.  Or maybe it was "verify" and not "authenicate"...at any rate I coudln't do it.
    Maybe I am explaining what I want to do incorrectly.  I'll try again, though it is probably as clear as mud lol.
    I want my google contacts and my calendar.  If iOS handles this for me I am totally ok with that.  I want my Gmail app, which handles the bulk, or essentially all of my mail for me, labels etc, and I use it all the time...which of course I am ok with as well.
    I want the native iOS mail app to handle my yahoo account, which sees little to no email transaction from me. It does this well right now, as its pretty much only a seasonal account....meaning when it is fantasy football season, it comes into play.
    I want the native iOS mail app to handle any photos or links I send from the phone to give my gmail account address in the "From" part of the header....even if it sends it from yahoo's servers.  Preferably I would like it to come from gmails servers but I know I can't have my cake and eat it too. 
    The reason for all this is if I send someone a photo I want them to respond to my gmail not my yahoo account.  I tried setting up the gmail account using the native iOS gmail account setup, but what happens is that I end up with my incoming gmail in two spots on the phone, which I don't want. 
    If I could turn off incoming gmail using the native iOS account setup, this would solve the issues.  I would then be able to designate the native Gmail account as primary (for use as a send only account), and still keep the yahoo inbox going as well.
    Even if I went to extremes and paid money so I could forward my yahoo mail to my gmail account, thereby allowing my to remove yahoo completely from the phone, I would just be left with no option to send emails as there would be no default account available (as my gmail is handled by the app, not the phone).

  • Scrambled display when I use the trackpad to scroll up and down in Safari

    Whenever I use two fingers to scroll up and down in Safari, the display gets scrambled. It gets worse, the faster I scroll. The nature of the distortion is that sections of the display are duplicated horizontally which "covers up" the section where the duplication takes place. This does not happen when I scroll up and down using the arrow keys, or if I scroll with the arrows on the right side of the browser window.
    Another thing I have noticed is that some videos I watch online have intermittent white sections flashing in.

    It is certain that some people are having problems, all I can confirm is that my 2.0GHz MacBook does not seem to have this problem.
    However, after having looked at this thread and another link it seems that a lot of the posts about problems are coming from users of the MacBook Pros and the 2.4GHz MacBooks. Thus, this makes me wonder if the CPU speed might have something to do with this issue. Along with the CPU another issue might be heat (which would seem to be a greater concern with both the MacBook Pro and the 2.4GHz MacBook) and whether the affected systems are equipped with more than 2GB DRAM and whether than DRAM is third-party or from Apple (i.e. these problems could be caused by issues with the DRAM).
    Of course, no one can yet say where the problems may be but system "overheating" and/or DRAM could be involved. When I write "overheating" I'm not suggesting user abuse, just that this may be a temperature sensitive issue.
    For the record my MacBook has all of the latest firmware, trackpad, and system updates and is the standard 2.0GHz model with Apple-issued 2GB DRAM and 160GB HD. Below is my hardware overview from Apple's System Profiler:

  • I used to send a link from safari using mail. Suddenly i cannot do this anymore.I have checked all the details but nothing will work

    I have always managed to send  link from safari using mail Suddenly I no longer can do this and mail just sits with the message in outbox. I changed nothing and all the settings look the same.

  • No vertical scroll bar using Safari or Firfox

    I created my own website using Dreamweaver CS3 and it looks great using IE. I just viewed it in Safari and Firefox and noticed there is no vertical scroll bar on the right so people can not see the bottom half of my pages. I have researched this online and nothing seems to be working. Any ideas will help. My website is www.binglevet.com if that helps anyone view the source code. Thank you. Caroline

    You are awesome! I actually did run that report and there was this message; however, I didn't realize it was the main cause for many to be unable to view my site when using Firefox or Safari. I deleted the line and it now scrolls in both browsers. Thank you for the help.

  • Scrolling down and using links to anchors aren't in sync

    This video shows a site I'm creating.  I start in design mode.  Then I click to preview.  As I Scroll down and the page stops too soon.  When I use the links to anchors it goes all the way down.  How can I get the page to work the same when scrolling as it does when using links to anchors?
    I noticed that when I use the links to anchors the bottom portion of the menu gets pushed down a couple of inches.  That seems to be the problem.  Why does using anchors do this and how can I fix it?

    You want to precompose your stills and the track mattes together.  The composition should look like the stills with a rounded rectangle border.  Then animate the composition.

  • After installing iOS 7.1.1, I can no longer send links from Safari using my Yahoo account

    I frequently send links from Safari, and as my Yahoo is my default email, it obviously sends from Yahoo. However, since installing iOS 7.1.1, those messages end up in my outbox, and I get a message saying "a copy of the message has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I am able to change my sending email to Gmail or my company domain, though, and the message will go through without issue. But changing the sending account to a different Yahoo account generates the same failure message.
    Is this a Yahoo problem (which wouldn't surprise me)? Or is it an iOS 7.1.1 bug (which also wouldn't surprise me)? Anyone else having the problem?
    For the record, I have rebooted the iPad Air 128GB. I have tried this on multiple wifi connections (AT&amp;T Uverse at the office, Time Warner cable at home, blazing fast local fiber company at the gym). The only thing I have not done is remove &amp; reinstall the Yahoo accounts. I thought I'd pick the collective brains of the community first.
    Thanks!!

    Addendum
    Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.

  • Can't Use Download Links In Safari

    everytime i hit a download link in safari it will not download instead goes to a blank black page, so i have to right click and then click on download file to.
    This is gettting annoying, is there anything i can do to fix this, it only started happening after installing lion

    I too have this problem and have not seen a fix posted in these forums yet.
    My work around is to copy the url when you are taken to that blank page and paste that URL into Firefox or Google Chrome. The file will download then.
    This isn't a Lion problem but a problem with the latest version of Safari. My Snow Leopard machine does this same exact thing.

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.

  • Copying links in safari in iOS 8 no longer works

    At first I thought it was me but no. If I try to copy a link in Safari using the Copy item or by specifically selecting the link and copying it I get nothing. I use this feature a lot so it's pretty annoying.
    I am running iOS 8 on an iPad 2. I am really not happy with the performance of iOS 8.

    I am not sure if this is the answer, but I was trying some things to fix some of the iOS 8 issues I was having. One of the things I tried is to reset the network settings. And now I can copy from Safari. Disclaimer, I am not sure if this is what fixed the problem but could very well be.
    To reset the network settings, go to Settings>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    This wipes out all the network settings, so make sure you have your network passwords handy.

  • How to email a "link" from Safari?

    Since upgrading to Lion I can't figure out how to send a "link" from a Safari page in Apple's Mail. Example: I am surfing "MacSurfer" and I click on a link to read it. I then decide to email the link to my daughter. I used to be able to open Mail and drag the URL into the body of the email. Now, in Lion, the URL of the link just says "Go To This Address". I can't seem to have both apps (Safari and Mail) open at the same time on my desktop. And what's up with the  "Go To This Address" thing in the URL so often?
    I have both Mail and Safari each set up as "Full Screen" so they will be permanently stuck on a desktop in Mission Control. Could this have something to do with it?
    I'm also running into another issue in Safari. If I click on a link and a new page opens many times there are no "traffic lights" (red, yellow, green in upper left of page) and the "Back" arrow is greyed out. Also, the contextual menu does not offer to go back. The only way to close the page is to quit, which causes me to close Safari all together.
    What am I missing?
    And while I'm on my ***** fest here…I'm not thrilled with this new discussion board either. It wasn't broke, so why "fix" it? (Maybe I'm just getting old and don't adapt to change so well.) OK, I feel better now!

    Can someone help?
    In Safari File: Mail:Link o This Page has stopped working on my macbook pro running Lion-- all of a sudden I am seeing this error message when I want mail a website link to someone:
    An email message can’t be created to send the link because Safari can’t find an email application.
    This message does not show when I click on a hyperlink within the body of a webpage viewed in Safari.
    This does not happen in Firefox. The File: Mail Link works just fine. Maybe I should stop using Safari but I like it!!!
    I checked all of the system preferences suggested in various support documents. Did I miss something?

    HI Ana ...
    I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
    That's a different issue...
    First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
    Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

  • Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

    I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
    http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
    It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
    Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
    These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Jim

    Sorry for the insufficient info.
    My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
    The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
    Can you help me with this?
