Problems with safari screen grayed out unable to load pages from search

Using IPAD last night and did a google search and google suggestions dialog box remains open along with keyboard, does not allow me to select any search results as the page is grayed out. When I try to select a new page, bookmarks of the back arrow I get NO RESPONSE. Thought the IPAD I charged it last night with same results this AM. Any suggestions!

Some websites do this but I have found that the iPad is not frozen, it's just the way the website is (poorly) designed and you just need to scroll ALL THE WAY UP to see the page results. Verizon is one such culprit with their site. Try it, I bet it works

  • Safari won't load pages from search results

    Weird problem.  Using Safari 8.0.3, I do a search using www.google.com or just search in the address bar.  Google returns the results, no problem.  However, if I try to follow a link by clicking on it, Safari will seemingly try to load it for a while, then I'll get a failed to open page error with Safari saying it can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.  It can be reliable sites like amazon or yelp or others.   If I try the exact same thing in Chrome, no issues.
    Anyone seen anything like this?  Frustrating as I'm going to have to stop using Safari until I get this figured out.  Btw, I don't have any traces of a virus or anything as I don't have ads popping up or anything like that.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari screen grayed out and doesn't function. Help.

    Suddenly, the Safari browser stopped working. The screen appears grayed out and touching buttons in the Safari content area doesn't do anything. The search and address windows work and new pages load, but they don't function. The back and forward and other buttons also don't work.
    I haven't changed anything (that I know about)since the last time everything worked a few minutes ago.
    TIA for your help.

    Have you tried resetting the iPad?
    reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I'm having problems with the screen zooming out, extra large font, to the point of not being able to put in my access code or getting to settings.  What is wrong?

    My screen chooses to zoom out, out of the blue to the point that I can't access anything. It also does not respond to trying to shrink the screen with my hand motion. 

    Double tap the screen with three fingers to turn off zoom. If that doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.  Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

  • Top sites and video problems with Safari 4.0 and Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard, I've had problems with Safari 4.0. My Top Sites page doesn't load anymore, I get a blank white page. Also, video tutorials from Apple's own site will not display the video. I hear the audio portion but do not get video. When I load the same pages in Firefox, they run as they are supposed to. In Leopard, everything was fine. Any help resolving these issues would be appreciated.

    Nevermind. After restarting a couple of times, it worked itself out.

  • Safari is unable to load pages

    I am having a problem with Safari where it is unable to completely load pages. This only started a few days ago.
    It is able to load Google, but when I try to load Facebook, it stops at 12 of 13 items. Then no other pages will load unless I restart Safari. Sometimes Facebook will load, but I am unable to click on sidebars or any links. This happens with other webpages after 5-10 minutes, but Facebook causes it to happen immediately.
    I am using Safari 5.0.6 on Leopard 10.5.8 and am unable to change to Firefox or Chrome. The internet connection works fine. Other computers (non-Macs) work on the wireless connection, and the Macbook I am using is unable to work even on a wired connection. However, I can ftp from a terminal with upload and download speeds of 5+MB/s.
    I have already tried the following:
    Reset Safari
    Cleared the cache
    Removed all plugins
    Added the open DNS connections
    Turned off the DNS fetching
    Is there anything else that anyone can think of to do or has anyone else experienced this problem with Safari?

  • I installed ios7 last week. The Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. Problems with facetime the previous day, but that is solved. What's up with Safari?

    I installed ios7 on the iPad last week. Problems with factime, but solved with online support. Now the Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. What's up with that? All other Internet uses are working.

    Hi, a too full hard drive can really mess things up.
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, , try to clear at least 10 GB of space & empty the trash, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

    Empty the Safari cache more often.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Problems with Safari, Firefox and Flash player

    Ever since I got my new iMac that has Snow Leopard I've had problems with Safari and Firefox freezing or crashing. It appears that part of the problem is the Flash plugin because sometimes a screen pops up and says something like: the flash script is having problems. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling Flash, Safari and Firefox but the problem is still there. My browser seems to hang up or freeze a lot no matter if I use Safari or Firefox.
    Any ideas?
    I just discovered the Chrome browser from Google this morning and so far its working very well. No freezes and it appears to handle Flash video without any problems.
    How can that be?
    Thanks

    Ah! The proverbial missing information. Why the regrets? Most people are having no issues migrating from previous computers; it's the preferred method. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac. You're a long way from starting over.
