TS3408 After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does)

After I update my website, why doesn't Safari reflect this-even after emptying cache? (Chrome does). Any help would be great. I am a web developer and need to reload the page constantly to see changes, I can't have it be that safari takes a day to refelct changes-it used to happen instantly, what has changed?

It probably says more about MySpace than Safari but anyway you could try the latest nightly build of Safari's Webkit web browser engine. I always use this now and find it offers greater all round performance.
Try it and see if it helps.
Just click the big 'Download Nightly builds' button on this page.

In case you don't know, you just run the webkit application instead of Safari but in use it will seem no different than Safari because all you're doing is running an updated version of the rendering engine in Safari. Safari 3.1 remains untouched and you can switch back to that if you wish.

Safari quits with attempt to empty cache

I recently updated to OSX.3.9 and stayed with QT 6.5.2 (need to stay at these versions on this particular computer). Safari v. 1.3.2
The only other change was a recent install of Flip4Mac wmv
Now I can't empty cache in Safari, it quits with each attempt and does not empty cache.
I'm using a G4 450 single processor.
I've repaired permissions and that did not help.

Wish I had read your reply before I dug myself in deeper. I'm now reading Dr. Smoke's articles, which are very good, but I'm getting overwhelmed trying to narrow it down to the simplest thing I can start with at this point.
The details of my now bigger problem are in another post to the Safari discussion, "blue screen, fails to boot". This problem is actually on my other startup disk, but now I can't restart back onto the one that was at least working.
I don't have the drives backed up, so want to avoid doing any "erase" type installs. I'll keep trudging through all the Dr.Smoke info, but if you have any further simple steps you think would help now, please let me know.
BTW, I just today discovered that I can do the "subscription" thing on these boards, so now I can track answers sooner.

Websites look wrong, have to empty cache 3x a day. Les sites ne s'affichent pas correctement, je dois vider le cache 3x par jour.

Hello, since I started using Firefox 18.0 on Windows 8 it continuosly show webpages wrong. It works fine when I empty the cache but after a while it starts showing some wepages completely wrong. I have to empty the cache like 3 times a day and this bothers me. Is there any proper solution for this? The only adonn I've installed so far is adblock.
Bonjour, depuis que j'ai commencé à utiliser Firefox 18.0 sur Windows 8 celui-ci n'affiche pas toujours correctement les pages que je visite. En vidant le cache cela résout le problème mais après un certain temps cela recommence. Je me retrouve obligé de vider le cache environ 3 fois par jour et cela est vraiment ennuyeux. Existe-t-il une solution pour cela ? Le seul add-on que j'ai installé est adblock.

Well, it seems that the resetting Firefox worked out, I really don't understand why neither why it still did it wrong once. So many thanks for your advices.

Safari on Lion slow to empty cache.

Hi, has anyone else experienced Safari being slow to empty the cache (at times)? Often when I empty the cache after my session the beach ball will appear and spin for what *seems* too long of a time. Of course the task eventually completes, but in the mean time the ball spins and you can hear the hard drive cranking. The system specs are as follows:
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 (Late 2009)
OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)
Any ideas? Is this normal behavior?
Thanks in advance!

I am having the same problem. It seems like Safari crashes (beachball). I'm not patient enough to wait a whole minute (or more) to empty the cache so I do a force quit.
There are many people complaining about this problem.
Any ideas, Apple?

What do I need to do to stop constant Firefox freezes on Mac OSX? Safari doesn't have the same problem, so it can't be the computer.

My IMac, using OS X 10.6.6, works well and quickly - until I use Firefox. Almost every command I give leads to a freeze that lasts from a few seconds to a couple of minutes - sometimes with and sometimes without the whirling beachball. This is true no matter what website I'm on. I've used Firefox for years and never had this problem before. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have an Idea for you.. Stop using MAC! I'm a PC user and I've never had any problem with firefox or any other program being "incompatible." Can you guess why? Because people design programs like firefox and pretty much everything else around WINDOWS.

How do I recover search bar and empty cache function in Safari?

My search bar function is gone from Safari and my empty cache function is gone from Safari after the last update. I only get the URL bar. I've tried deleting and then dragging the toolbar items back in. doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Don't like it. Any idea why I don't have an empty cache function under the Safari drop down menu?

Safari 6.0 empty cache

Does anybody know how to empty the cache in Safari 6.0, within the new OS. Used to be empty cache was a click under the Safari pull down menu. Now the 'empty cache' is gone. They have the 'reset Safari' click, but that is not what I want to do. Just empty the cache, if that is still possible. I can't think of a good reason why Apple will take this option away. Thanks.

Enable the Develop menu in Safari Preferences > Advanced. The Empty Cache option will be there.

What does IE for Mac have that Safari doesn't?

Hi, folks.
The administrative website of my company doesn't work in Safari. That's a fact.
I've always accepted the idea that it would not work in Safari because it uses windows-only technology. BUT, the fact is that it works in Internet Explorer for Mac.
Since IE for Mac stopped in version 5, the sites gets very ugly (trucated text, out-of-size windows, giant bars), ugly but still functional.
So, if it works in IE for Mac, it seems for me that the site doesn't require Windows, but something found in IE that Safari doesn't have.
Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks in advance.

Without a URL to the pages we're all guessing.
Web pages are not designed for OS's and those that work for Windows should also work on Macs.
But many functions of Web design is optimized for specific browsers and, since IE for PC's is still about 75%, it seems it gets the most attention.
Since most Windows browsers do not play by the "rules" set forth in Web standards those old, poorly coded, pages do not render as designed when viewed in a browser that does follow industry standards.
Update your page code and it will work in any browser.

Safari: 'empty cache' is gone !!??

When I click on the heading 'Safari' I can not choose 'empty cache' from the pull down menu because the sentence is gone!? How can I get it back? I don't know how the sentence disappeared from the menu... but it is gone !

Accoring to the Safari Help:
Clear the entire history list
Open Safari if it is not already open
Choose History > Clear History, and then click Clear.
To clear Top Sites as well as your history list, select “Also reset Top Sites.” The Top Sites page is based on your browsing history.
Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty.

I accidentally deleted "empty cache" from safari drop down, what are the keystokes for doing it manually?

What are the keystokes for doing it manually? or how do you reload it to the drop down menu?

"Empty cache" is not available in Safari 6. (It's not possilble to delete that option from the Safari menu).
Several workarounds.
One. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar.
Now from the Safari menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches
Or, from the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari.
Select: Clear History (that empties the cache as well as deleting history. Deselect all the other boxes, then click Reset.
Unfortunately, Safar 6 omitted the empty cache keyboard shortcut.

When I downloaded 6 I lost the "Empty Cache" function. The "Reset" function is still the same, though. How do I get the empty cache back?

I recently updated my macbook pro to 10.7.5 and the option in Safari to empty cache is gone. Is this a glitch or is there some other way to empty cache?

Uninstall Genieo:

See if that makes a difference.
Ciao.

Yes, it will do no harm, but it is meant for trouble shooting and you should not have to use it all the time.

How to empty cache in Safari 6?

In Safari 6, the "empty cache" command is missing from the Safari menu. Does anyone know how to empty the cache in Safari 6?

I have the development menu activated and cannot get caches to clear at all. No matter how many times I ask it to. Like it is completely being ignored. Developing web pages and need them to update when requested. Any suggestions?
