PDFs not loading in Safari (OSX 10.8.2)

Everytime I try to view a PDF through Safari, all I get is a dark grey screen. I can open PDFs through other browsers, and I can download them from Safari.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Flash Player Mac 10,3,181,26 not loading in Safari 5.0.5 64-bit mode, any fix?

    As the title says, the Flash Player 10,3,181,26 is not not loading in Safari 5.0.5 64-bit mode, I found out after wasting 2 hours installing/uninstalling the plugin and trying anything from repairing disk permissions to installing a fresh Safari app, then it hit me... switch Safari to 32-bit mode and bang!, Flash Player worked just fine.
    Even as a long time Flash developer, I refuse to stay in 32-bit mode just to be able to see my work in Safari so please Adobe guys, find a fix for this.

    Hi, You are probably aware of the Square version which is 64bit support. Haven't heard when it may be ready for a shipped version. But it's being worked on. Since you are a Developer, I thought maybe you'd be working on it too.

    My system is not a 64bit, but I can see where one would forget which browser they were using. Something like having more than one computer and forgetting which one has certain info:-)
    Thanks,

  • IWeb Masked images not loading in Safari

    When I apply a mask to images in iWeb they will not load properly in Safari. They load fine in FireFox. When the mask is removed the images will load in Safari, re-apply the mask and no go.
    Have done the usual reset safari, etc.
    Any suggestions?

    Well, I narrowed it down a bit more. Its not the mask thats causing the issue, its the mirror or drop shaddow. With those two affects applied the pictures will not load in Safari. Remove them, and they load fine.
    Would love a fix for this, as those affects really dress things up, but its not a deal breaker.
    Thanks to those that offered suggestions.

  • Podcast will not load in safari from server, but will load in other Apps

    Podcast will not load in safari from iWeb Page from server, but will load in Firefox and other web apps.
    Here the problem: I have a podcast page made in iWeb. It is setting on a server with GoDaddy. When I try load page with Safari, I get where the Quicktime Playing Bars are a small Quicktime Logo w/? mark and will not download or play. But in Firefox, My iPad and in Windows side it will load and play. Also it play on a friends Macbook Pro in Safari. (Note it will play in my Safari after Firefox has play -it "very strange to me" like Firefox will open some port, but it will not stay open if quit Safari re-booth-it) I have remove the .plist for Quicktime & Safari. And clean out the Cache for Safari. Also have re-set the Firewall setting to Enable Stealth Mode only. Re-load the site to GoDaddy. This is happening to both Mac's in my network and in all users accounts.
    My Network is a A&TT with a 2Wire w/wrieless turn off. going into and Airport Extreme Base Station w/N generation network. One computer is connected with and ethernet cable to the Airport extreme base station the other is a wireless contection.
    I do feel this and network issue and I can't seem to solve-it. How can I get Safari to open the port and download and play-it on my network?

    We've only discover this yesterday. One of our listeners sent me an e-mail about-it. With a little more research this morning. I've discover that everybody I've had check-it is have the same problem only with Safari 4.0.5. So I'm starting to feel that this is an Apple Safari Bug in 4.0.5 for the Mac only. It seems to be OK everywhere else on other devices. I agree in most cases this is not a problem. But when have older people who do not download into iTunes around the world it is to them. We have 250 or more listeners a week. This is a Church podcast.
    For right now we are planing to post a message on the site saying you will not be able to listen to the podcast in Safari, but can in Firefox and ect.

  • Ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problem. Can anyone help?

    ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problems. Why is this? Can anyone help?

    It should be: Click on Home Folder (the House) and to the right Library is shown, click on the arrow on the Library folder to reveal its contents and then click on Cookies to reveal its contents and then move the Cookies.plist to the Trash as Carolyn suggests.
    Then try eBay again.

  • IWeb RSS feed not loading in Safari

    IWeb 09 site RSS Widgets are not loading in Safari. http://macroads.com Worked fine up until this morning.

    Several iWeb 09 site owners in a discussion on an iWeb topic reported an RSS Widget feed bug via Safari's bug reporting link under the Safari menu. Less than an hour later, the site feeds came back online. Apple Rocks!

  • Google map not loading in Safari

    My embedded google map will not load in Safari. Will load in all other browsers just not Safari.

    Google maps use embedded HTML from Google to render content served by Google.
    If some of your users can't see the google map, it could be a problem connecting to the google maps site, or a browser setting that prevents google maps from displaying.
    Google has some troubleshooting tips on their site:

  • Pdf not loading correctly from Safari

    I am having great difficulty, and others it seems, in downloading pdfs. I have a downloadable brochure for school classes as a pdf file, which works in other browsers, but not Safari. Pdf downloads worked fine in Jaguar but not Tiger. The pdf opens in a safari page. How do I access this as a regular pdf?

    You want to download the pdf and read it with Adobe Acrobat 7.x, is that right? If so: when you see a file link on a page, look in Safari's >> Window menu for "Activity" and select it for a list of every file on that page. When you see your PDF file, Option + Double click the file name, and it should download, rather than open. This should work for any file listed in Activity. Your Download window will open, and the file will be downloaded to your default download folder, which you have set in Safari menu >> Preferences >> General tab.
    There are other, more extreme methods of forcing Safari not to load PDF's, but this is easy and allows you options.

  • Facebook will not load in Safari

    Hi!
    I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. That is as far as I can go on my 2006 MbPro.
    This is happening to me now also. Firefox works fine. Every webpage in Safari loads - but not Facebook.
    When I click on the bookmark, or type in the URL, FB will not load. The URL is in the bar but the page is blank.
    The FB URL starts with 'https" - if that matters.
    It has been working fine for years. Yesterday it did it.
    I always hit 'reset safari' when I quit it. I have also cleared the cache from the drop down menu.
    I went to System Preferences < Network < Advanced < Proxies. Nothing is checked. BUT this was in Bypass:
    *.local, 169.254/16
    I wrote it down, deleted it, hit Ok < Apply.
    I also went to Keychain and deleted anything with Facebook - including certificates. And that was probably a dumb move.
    I have been using Social Fixer in both Safari and Firefox. I deleted all Social Fixer stuff in Safari.
    So I am stumped.
    PS What if I downloaded and Reinstalled Safari? Would that do anything? What would happen to my bookmarks?

    This has been solved.

    Hi This issue seems to be more common than expected.

    All running well until Safari spat dummy, and decided to  not load certain pages. Facebook, ebay, Apple and smh.com.au all time out. Other pages eg google load fine however when I tried to download Firefox via google it timed out. Firefox installed via USB but same issue noted.
    No success as yet but this is what I have tried so far....
    Reboot router and computer several times.
    Cleared cache and reset safari
    Ran Onyx and reboot
    Restored to an earlier time machine image.
    Successfully disabled ipv6 via terminal commands
    Anything else to try that you may suggest?

  • PDFs wont load in safari

    I have downloaded ADOBE READER 9.0.0.
    In any window on any site when I open up PDFs they will not load,
    all I get is a grey frame where the adobe reader and PDF should be.
    Any ideas?

  • Pages that load in all other browsers do not load in Safari

    Our Web application uses HTTPS and a Thawte-issued 256-bit AES SSL certificate. In IE, Firefox, and Chrome, the pages of our Web application load absolutely fine. In Safari 4.0.5, the pages do not load in the browser. When looking at the source for the page, there absolutely is content there, but appears to be cut off after a certain number of lines. I've tried a couple of pages, and there doesn't seem to be anything incorrect about the HTML at the line directly after the last one that Safari was able to pull back.
    I read in some forums that this may have to do with content chunking and/or variable content lengths. I read in others that it may have to do with serving images from non-HTTPS servers while using an HTTPS connection. I think the former sounds more likely.
    Has anyone encountered this issue before? This is not the known "page doesn't load in Safari, but then does when I access it in another browser" issue. It doesn't matter how many times I successfully access the pages in other browsers. They are never rendered in Safari.
    Does anyone know how to control the behavior of Safari (or even of Apache HTTP Server 2.0) when it comes to responses of variable content lengths and/or response chunking? Or am I completely off the mark?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It turns out that Apache's mod_jk.log, which is used to store the output of communications between Apache and Tomcat, had become full. Once it reaches 2 GB, Apache can't write to it anymore. Once we stopped Apache, stopped Tomcat, rotated out that mod_jk.log, and restarted both Apache and Tomcat, our Web application started working again in both Safari and much more reliably in Chrome.

  • Particular web page will not load in safari or firefox

    when i try to load web site www.mapmyride.com, safari will not load the web page. I have tried other web sites and it works fine. It does not give any message to indicate that there's a problem. I can load the same web page on my iphone

    Since both browsers can't load the page, do you have anti virus software installed? How about Little Snitch? And try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences - Security.
    (I just tried in Safari 5.1.1. The page loaded as it should), so it's not the site.

  • PDFs  not displaying in Safari for Windows (7)

    I am not able to view PDF files from within Safari. When I click on link to a PDF file in Safari for Windosws (v 5.1), Safari just opens a blank window. The address bar shows the correct link,
    I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat installed on the machine. I have tried to reinstall Reader, hoping that a pluging would be installed, but to no avail.

    I'm confused by your post number 5. You said that IE10 was opening the right pane, which I read as opening with the content.
    The RoboHelp 9 fix was written by a highly respected user who I believe applied the same code.

  • Help!  New to Mac! Pictures will not load on Safari (blue question marks)

    Sometimes when I surf the web (especially sites like Facebook.com), pictures will not load. They turn into little blue check marks. Eventually, none of the pictures on the webpage will load. I have to shut down Safari, reboot my computer, and then pictures load again for a little while. Any advice? Please help!

    ... you may have something slowing your connection if you are wireless...I get this from time to time and believe that it is generally a connection speed issue related to interference or distance from my airport. The signal is usually great, but drops off from time to time.
