Safari 4.0.1 Loads Blank Page

Since updating to Safari 4.0.1, I have been having issues with loading my Earthlink home page. Safari will load roughly 75 percent of the page and then I get a completely blank page. A message in the Status Bar indicates Canceled opening the page." When I click the reload icon the page loads properly. Any suggestions?

I'm seeing the same problem. All users are affected, and I tried an archive and install, not preserving users or network settings - same issue. It seems to load pages, but they they appear to be white. The text is actually there, since I can do a find for text that I know to be there.
Could you try finding within a page? I'm curious to know if my problem is the same as yours?
This problem only began after installing Safari 4.0.1, and it seems to affect some other WebKit applications, such as Mail and the CarbonWebApp example included with the developer tools. Downgrading Safari to a 3.x version fixes the issue.
It's definitely not a Safari issue, but it does appear to be related to WebKit.
My system is about as clean as they come, and there are no third-party plug-ins.
The following pages no-longer load for me:
www.google.ie (first page is fine, but test results are invisible)
news.bbc.co.uk (Grey with no visible text)

  • Opening a pdf in safari just gives me a blank page

    hi all,
    when i try to open a pdf in safari it just opens a blank page. from the docs its supposed to open the pdf inline as part of safari but this doesn't work for me
    is there a setting i need to adjust to make this happen?
    i'm running safari 2.0.3 on tiger 10.4.5 with a 6month old powerbook.
    thx for any advice!!

    Hello S Butler,
    Welcome to Discussions!
    See if any of this helps you below.
    Also did you use the combo up-date for 10.4.5? Because this version
    corrects things in Safari that the stand alone does not.
    Did you repair premissions before and after the up-date?
    Did you turn off your firewall?
    Safari: PDFs now open directly in Safari instead of in Preview
    When using the latest version of Safari with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger," PDF links that you click will now open directly in the Safari window for your viewing convenience. Before Tiger, PDFs would open in Preview.
    If you still prefer Preview, simply Control-click the PDF link (or right click on a two-button mouse) and choose Download Linked File from the shortcut menu. Once the file is on your desktop, double-click it to open in Preview.
    Notes:
    In addition to Control-clicking the link and selecting Download Linked File as described above, you also have the choice of using Option-click on the link to shortcut the process even further.
    If you do open a PDF in a Safari window, you can Control-click on the PDF itself and choose Open with Preview.
    Due to certain server configurations, some PDFs will still download to your desktop instead of opening in a Safari window.
    If you use a third-party PDF plug-in for Safari, it will block Safari's built-in PDF support.
    Please let us know if anything works for you.

  • Help!  Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh!  Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

    For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?).  The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops.  I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it. 
    I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari. 
    Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem?  How would I check.
    It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
    Any suggestions welcome

    Hi Krisztina ..
    Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Apple suggests using OpenDNS here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

  • Safari is extremely slow loading web pages, i have to latest software, no updating needed

    Safari is really slow loading internet pages and uploading images. I have the latest software update. I just purchased this mac book pro within the last 3 months..just frustrating that it's already this slow so soon....Any suggestions? I called tech support and nothing they walked me through helped. He was going to reinstall everything but I wanted to wait and see if there was anything else I could possible do before considering I just got this notebook, I hate to reinstall everything. It seems like there should be a simpler solution...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    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.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook

    Safari is slow 2 load web pages on my Macbook.

    First I would do a speed test to make sure your Internet is working appropriately. If speed is slow you can restart your router/ modem.
    Also, try this :

  • Safari hangs/fails to load any page.

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to open any webpage, the Safari hangs/fails to load any page. The blue status bar doesn't progress and multi coloured wheel appears. Eventually I have to force quit the safari. I have installed firefox now in order to continue browsing but would like to return to safari at the earliest. Please help to fix this.

    I was wondering if Onyx would work if you're running OS 10.4. (I know this would mean downloading an earlier version of Onyx.) If it wouldn't work, then is there another fix for this problem? Safari does the beachball for me, not on every page, but on enough of them to be really annoying.

  • Website problems in Safari - half loaded / blank pages

    I'm having problems with my website - http://kevadamson.com - in Safari (4) on both Mac (10.5.8) and PC (Vista) (Version 4). I have asked my fellow web developer and programmer colleagues what they think, without finding a reason for the problems.
    *Problems as follows:*
    = Pages often load with missing images (both and CSS background images)
    = Pages often do not load at all - displaying just a blank page
    = Pages often load with failed JavaScript elements
    *I have checked the following:*
    = Other browsers and it works fine (IE6/7/8, FF3.5, Chrome, Opera 10)
    = Disabling CSS and JavaScript, and I still get the same issues
    = Re-installing Safari
    = Asked others to check on their machines (Mac and PC) and they see the same problems
    = Choosing different options from user agents list - still get same problems
    *Other info:*
    = The server is Apache 2
    = XHTML transitional and CSS3
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Don't mess around with reinstalling Safari; that's not the problem at all. Instead, try this:
    1. Quit Safari if it's running.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari, reset its preferences and see if the problem continues.

  • Safari loads blank pages

    Hello
    A problem has recently started on my MacBook with Safari, I can browse the web fine and get on all the websites I want to. However sometimes when I click on a link safari looks like it is loading the page as normal and takes the normal amount of time but fails to display anything, I just end up with a white page! This consistently occurs with the same pages, I then just have to refresh the page and it loads fine every time!
    If I Ctrl-click on the page and select 'view source' the source of the page is displayed!
    All the pages that fail to display have worked fine in the past, I'm not really sure when or why the problem started.
    I have repaired permissions and deleted the Safari preferences file.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Bryan

    ewww, why on earth would you want to look at that? . . .
    Seriously, though. The page does download properly for me (and quite quickly too). That suggests a problem with your settings. If you have another account, try to download the page with that. (It is sometimes a good idea to have an alternative account so that one can test for any differences.)
    One might also try with another browser.
    With Safari, however, I would check two things, both in the Safari menu (top left of your screen):
    (A) Block popup windows (if on, turn off; of off, turn on -- perverse I know. Mine is showing blocked)
    (B) Empty cache.
    And with both of those, restart Safari. You might also consider (down the line a bit) a restart of the computer and a restart of your router.
    You do not say how you connect to the internet, but many people do now use broadband/adsl/networks. Restarting the router would give a new external IP number and thus the site would recognise it as a new connection (this works when sometimes the iTunes shop lags).

  • VirtualHosts loading blank pages in Mavericks

    I'm having issues loading VirtualHosts I've setup on my iMac, all that they appear to be returning are blank pages. I've tried multiple browsers, flushed my DNS cache, cleared browser cache etc but nothing appears to be fixing this.
    Here is what my /etc/apache2/httpd-vhosts/conf file looks like:
    NameVirtualHost *:80
    <Directory "/Users/chris/Sites/test/">
    Allow From All
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName "test.dev"
        ServerAlias "test.dev.*.*.*.*.xip.io"
        DocumentRoot "/Users/chris/Sites/test"
    </VirtualHost>
    Here is what my /etc/hosts file looks like:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1   localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
    # VHX START
    127.0.0.1 test.dev
    fe80::1%lo0 test.dev
    # VHX STOP
    In my /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file I've made sure to uncomment the following line:
    Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
    I'm using VirtualHostX to manage all of this but I've even resorted to deleting everything in these files and starting again following guides online – that didn't work either.
    I've tried to tail the apache access log and whenever I try to access http://test.dev nothing shows up in that file or the apache error log – it's as though my machine has absolutely no idea that URL exists even though I believe everything is setup correctly.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Thanks, Chris

    Hi,
    have you tried redeploying the CmcApp Do the following:
    1. Stop the tomcat
    2. Go to the webapps subdirectory found under the directory where the tomcat server is installed. (In Windows this should be <BOBJ installation directory>\Tomcat55\webapps ).
    3. Rename the CmcApp and CmcAppActions subfolders to CmcApp_OLD and CmcAppActions_OLD
    4. Restart the TOmcat and ait until the CmcApp and CmcAppActions folders are recreated in the webapps folder.
    Try again to use the CmC.
    Regards,
    STratos

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

  • Safari 5 Doesn't Load Whole Page?

    Sometimes, especially when I'm trying to load more than one page at once, Safari will load the page, but without images, or sometimes a style sheet or some part of the page won't load. If I go into the Activities pane when this happens, a lot of things are marked as cancelled. This started happening after I downloaded Safari 5.
    This happened before, and I reset my home router and it was fixed, but it came back, and nothing's wrong with the router.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Relaunch Safari. If that didn't make a difference, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    If haven't repaired permissions since the update, it would be beneficial to do that.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Special feature of Firefox... loading blank pages

    Yes, it's an old chestnut this one: various pages loading completely blank. I have no security issues – ran combofix just in case – everything is working OK... except Firefox and its blank pages.
    I followed advice given in the following post and there were no suspicious addons:
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940483
    I load these blank pages in IE without any problems - If it’s simply a question of updating Firefox I shall do so, but this shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

    Surprise, surprise... after updating, some pages still load blank.

  • Safari for windows printing only blank pages

    Safari for Windows 5.1.1 will only print blank pages from my PC. Every other app prints perfectly to my networked printer and the printer shows up in Safari, but nothing on the paper. Any help??

    Never was able to fix it, Juan. Safari just would not print on my Windows computer.
    But I finally found another solution. I've switched from Windows computers to Macs and now I have none of those compatibility issues. I do have a few others from time to time, but no more Windows issues.
    Buena suerte amigo

  • Safari slow and Not Loading Web Pages after changing Modems?

    Hello...I recently changed from an AT&T DSL modem to a Knology Cable Modem to improve speed and overall network capablity.  However, ever since I have changed I have had problems with Safary lagging or not loading the websites.  It doesn't do it all the time, but periodically.  Sometimes it is worse than others.
    Basic issue: When using Safari, it stalls when loading a website.  Sometimes it will load, other times it will say that Safari cannot load the website.  If you wait a while and retry loading it, it may then load it.
    Has anyone else seen something similar to this or know what I can do to fix the problem?  It is rather frustrating.
    Thank you,
    Jim

    If Safari is getting very slow:
    (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
    and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
