Not opening all my previously opened windows, many are blank!

Why does Safari randomly choose not to open all my previously open windows? Sometimes up to half the tabs/windows show up BLANK.
Often, I'll see the headings written in the tabs in the toolbars, but when I go to them, they are blank, and I must re-enter the page name manually, do a search, then load the correct one. Other times it will just be blank (usually when it's a single window, since the page name is not in the tab toolbar. WHY is it doing this?
Will clearing past history remove the ability to open a window that is open when I close Safari?

Context = this problem has nothing to do with images.  The blank pages contain no content at all, no source code.  There is simply nothing to reload.
They have headers only, which safari seems to remember separately as tab info.  The rest is gone.
I've deleted caches through prefs and developers tools.  All the other tabs refresh.  The "random", ones stripped of their URLs, do not. 
So what is causing this?  Is there a pattern?  Why are only certain pages effected (some identical to the healthy tab next to it)?  Are they cloned tabs?  Is it plug-in related?  Google searches?  Old searches?  Why are they flushed from recent history?   Does it relate to icloud synching errors?  Is the content actually lost during "sleep" mode or application launch? 
Has anyone really posted a fix for this? 
Saxman is asking exactly the right questions.
Saxman, do you keep multiple pages of multiple tabs open every day? I do. Are some of them reduced in the dock?  Are they google search results?  New or reloaded every day?
Next time this happens to you, check to see if that blank page is still in your deep history list.  (We know that "reload tab" does not work).   In the history menu, choose "show top sites".  Then click the history button to view all your pages in cover-flow view.  Is the url info still there?   (You can use the search function here as well). 
Do any of the questions I've posted ring a bell?

  • The earlier version of FF brought all my previously open sites back after a system shut down (like for a scheduled windows update or similar). Now this is not happening any longer. What can I do? I liked this feature a lot and really miss it!!

    I could choose to have all my previously open tabs brought back when the computer - accidentally or on a scheduled update - suddenly closed down. Sometimes I have windows open for several days with articles and sites that I spent time with finding. Now they are all gone and I have to painstakingly try to get them back.
    Is it my mistake? I can't find any selection or choice in the tools menu that I could reinstate this useful function with. What happened?

    hello; i just erased the post i started with, because my status has changed. i searched in the firefox folder and found the uninstall folder, and this time, uninstall worked perfectly, and it gave me an option to save my personal info! YAY! i installed ff 3.6.24 without a hitch; FF is Baaaaaack!
    However, I did get a window saying my computer doesn't have enough resources for the latest version of 8, but that I should install the latest compatible version of firefox; which version would that be, I wonder? It takes me to the same page with the ff 3.6.24 downloads. I already have that now.
    I am going to mark this as solved; thank you cor-el for helping me with this problem and sticking with me as i whined and moaned, and tried to get the courage to "just do it!"

  • Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore

    Why can't I open all my emails, open attachments or send photos on my ipad anymore. Sometimes it takes awhile for an email to open, other times they open without any incident. I can't seem to be able to email any photos anymore.

    It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files at all. You will need to Export the Pages '08 files to Word .doc/x or use Pages '09 to open the Pages '08 files and resave them.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 older Pages files can not be opened in previous Pages.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • How can I open all sync'ed open tabs all at once?

    I would like to be able to open all sync'd open tabs on my 2nd computer all at once instead of clicking on each one of them from a list from the History menu.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first installed FF Sync

    The only way I know of doing this is to highlight all tabs in blue, in the history menu (shift and click) and then right click to open all. This should be a one button command! Thanks, hope this changes.

  • Bootcamp support drivers "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running"

    Hi,
    I've searched everywhere I can think of for a solution to this problem with no success. I see other people have reported similar issues and these have not yet been resolved.
    I have installed Windows 7 32 bit on a new Mac Mini under Bootcamp. When I go to install the Bootcamp drivers in Windows, I get the message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running". 
    Other people have reported this issue when trying to install 3rd party software on a 64 bit version of windows but I'm simply trying to install the Bootcamp drivers on a 32 bit version of Windows.
    Is it possible the Mac Mini needs a 64 bit version of Windows installed under Bootcamp? I haven't seen this requirement mentioned anywhere.
    Appreciated all and any help that can be offered.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's because the Late 2012 iMac and Mac mini only supports the 64-bit Windows 7 version, so the drivers you downloaded are designed to work with the 64-bit version and you can't install them on a 32-bit version. Install the 64-bit Windows 7 on your computer

  • Every time I open, all my previous tabs come up. I can not stop this and the place to check doesn't allow it. How do I stop them, it is annoying.

    I start a session and all the previous tabs come up, like I want to restore, but I don't want to restore. I tried deleting history, etc--didn't work- they still came up-tried the setting in tools-options nothing changed

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from opening all tabs in seperater windows?

    Every single time I open Firefox it not only opens all of my previous tabs in one window but it also opens each and every one of them is it's own separate window. As I normally work with over 60 tabs it takes several minutes for them to complete opening and is a pain. Anyone who knows how to control this please help. I've checked all of the existing issues and find it surprising I'm the only one reporting this problem.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Open all documents in same window - don't want!!

    In Acrobat 7 there was a setting under
    Edit/Preferences/Documents that said "Show each document in its own window"
    I had this unchecked.
    I can't find this setting in 9, there is no such option (at least what I can find). I don't want all documents in separate windows, I want them in the same window! How do I fix that??

    But that's just plain stupid! I don't want 20 windows open when I drag 20 files into Acrobat for printing. I just want one.
    I wonder why they have done it like this.
    There are a lot of things missing from Acrobat 7 that I wish they hadn't removed. I thought upgrades was supposed to make a program better, not worse! Now I have to find work-arounds for a lot of things that was easy before and now doesn't work at all or works but takes a lot of time to do.

  • Open all PDFs in same window option in Acrobat 9?

    All my PDFs open in separate windows/acrobat instances. There used to be a feature in option to allow all to open in same window. Cant seem to find it in verison 9.

    You're correct. I think that was the switch between SDI (single document interface) and MDI (multiple document interface). In 8.x the ability to switch was there but in 9.0 it appears to have gone the way of the dinosaur. :(

  • Preview 4.1 - "open all images in one window"

    Dear users,
    Despite checking this button in Preferences, Preview often (not always) will open my images in different windows, as opposed to in one window with a thumbnail pane. This is especially true across file formats. Am I doing something wrong? THANKS!!

    First, put enough images into /Users/Shared to test. Then, create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Preview app works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update . This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.
