Safari 4 not rendering GMail correctly
Hi..
I have a problem with Safari 4 (MacOS 10.4.11) accessing Gmail (user interface 1: ui=1). The LAST message in any thread is padded with pages and pages and pages of blanks - actually a greyed-out area - between the end of the message and the "Back to Inbox", "Archive", "Delete" etc buttons.
The greyed-out area actually extends beyond these buttons, and overwrites them...
Should I reply to a message in the middle of a thread, the messages immediately before and after the message I am editing, appear and disappear at random as I type!
This does not happen with ui=2 (a user-interface I do not like).
I do not use Google Gears, whatever that is.
Changing the User Agent from Safari 4 to Firefox, say, does not help.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
keith
Hi Keith,
Yes the blanks in Gmail ui=1 (I also dislike the latest version) are still there even though I've overwritten Safari 4 with Safari 3, but they weren't there before I made the mistake of installing Safari 4, so I think that S4 has left some sort of buggy mess on my computer.
I get a really long blue/grey blank space right down the centre of gmail whenever I click 'reply'.

Safari is not loading pages correctly or even not at all. Help please!
So my Safari is not loading pages correctly, making some have just plain text with no images, and others partially loaded with no images or no video.
Some pages, after trying to refresh, completely refuse to load and say that Safari can't find the server. These pages work on firefox, which is also on the same computer and what I am having to use to type this currently.
I have already reset Safari, as well as disabled extensions (which I didn't have any) and neither has fixed the issue.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!Hello ddc92,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Safari will not load gmail unless I go to my router, power it off and power it on. Gmail will then load in a flash ... for about an hour and then progressively take longer until it will not load at all. I've taken it to a "specialist" for a clean-up and he found no problems. Can anyone help?
Do you get an "-5990 error" ?
I started having this problem after installation of Security update 2006-007 and as long as I know, the only way to fix it is:
1) Go to Library>Receipts and send 'SecUpd2006-007Ti.pkg' to the trash
2) Repair permissions with disk Utility
3) Re install Mac OS X Combo Update 10.4.8
4) Insert the original TIGER CD and go to install Mac OS X. Your computer will restart from the CD.
5) Go to Utilities>Disk utilities (on the Menu Bar) and repair permissions of Macintosh HD. After doing this, verify your HD and if necessary repair it.
6) restart again your computer from the Hard Disk
7) launch Safari and try to enter your gmail account.
Now all must run OK. -
Keep getting message saying current version of Safari does not support gmail, but I seem to have latest version (5.0.5). Is there an update I need?
Poroblem goes away when I use Chrome.Several older browser versions and ones that won't be upgraded without
a major system upgrade (a new OS X, if one is supported in hardware)
get similar messages when using Gmail & perhaps other google access.
If you want to experiment a little and the cost is zero, see the iCab browser
that is shareware but runs free with annoying prompt to buy a license, that
can be set to appear as Safari 6 to various web sites including Gmail. I've
tried it, and that does work. The iCab version that I found helpful works in
either PPC or Intel Mac OS X 10.5 ~ 10.7, there is a later version, too.
There is a recent iCab v.5.5 or an older iCab 5.1.1, since you could use
the more recent, I'd suggest that version over the older one which I have.
See http://www.icab.de/dl.php for iCab 5.5 (30.10.2014 or note a direct
DL link to that, here: iCab_5.5_Intel.zip -- either version is 32/64 bit.
Hopefully you can use the additional options without an OS X upgrade
to later system such as Lion. Sometimes an upgrade goes fine, but
there are good reasons to make a fully bootable clone on external HDD.
Then you could revert to a working copy of what you had before upgrade.
PS: If you are seeing two Safari versions in the Application folder, you
could use Get Info on each (separate, highlight one at a time) to find
what one is newest; then put the older one in Trash. Do not delete it yet.
The icon for Safari in the Dock may need to be replaced by dragging
the new Safari into the Dock, after dragging the old icon out of it...
but generally that part should not be necessary if only one Safari is
in the Applications folder. Be sure to not leave an app in the desktop
when it should be found by OS X in the Application folder.
The newer Safari should be in the Applications folder. Is it?
Check the Downloads folder in the Dock, to see where it went.
Sometimes, the browser's download info will show a history;
you can choose where downloads get stored.
Good luck & happy computing!

Safari is not displaying webpages correctly
HELP! Safari does not display certain webpages correctly. I also have this problem with internet explorer. For instance, in Yahoo I expect to see certain icons with the ability to change color and text, but none of the boxes are displayed as they should be when using a PC. Most recently, I have a problem with a blog webpage that does not display all of the text editing functions. Instead I get all of the html script or java script text (not sure which one). It is really frustrating.
Please help!Some common sites have text editing functions that can only be used from a Windows system. Most likely all you can do is complain to them about it. As for the blog, no one can possibly help you without a url, so they can see what the problem might be.

Safari does not remember passwords correctly
Hi all!
I use Safari with several online browser games, where I have to login with user name and password. However, Safari does not complete these forms after loading the page, instead it only completes everything when I have entered the first one or two letters of the user name.
I have read that this might be the case when there are multiple user accounts for one page or domain, but this is the only account for this specific page.
The pages uses some kind of transparent forwarding, so the user name/password information is transmitted to different subdomains, something like a load balancer, I guess (wod1.world-of-dungeons.net, wod2.world-of-dungeons.net,... you get the idea).
Auto-fill is enabled, the passwords are correctly stored in the keychain and everything works as normal once I start typing the user name.
Any ideas on what could cause this?
The page in question is (for example) http://world-of-dungeons.net/
I use Safari 3.1.1 on OSX 10.5.2 on a MacBook, if that helps.
Thanks,
Helge.

I don't usually use the AutoFill function, but as I understand it, AutoFill does not automatically populate the form fields when the page loads. You either need to start typing in a field, select Edit menu > AutoFill form (or use the Command-Shift-A keyboard shortcut), or add an AutoFill button to your toolbar (View menu > Customize Toolbar and drag it there) then click it after the page loads.

Safari does not display GMail/Google Reader unread counts in tab titles
To reproduce this, do the following:
1. Create a bookmark for either GMail or Google Reader
2. Click on the bookmark under Safari to load either site (make sure it has at least on unread item)
The text in the tab title will not display the unread count. Instead, it displays either "GMail" or "Google Reader". Firefox displays the unread counts for both sites in the tab's title text as follows: "Gmail - Inbox(2) - <email addr>", "Google Reader (2)".
This is the one of the main reasons why I will continue to use Firefox over Safari. Displaying the unread counts in the tab titles allows me quickly glance at the browser's window with both sites loaded in separate tabs to see if there are any unread items.I had the same problem and was able to find a workaround. The key insight actually came from another one of your (jkwuc89) posts where you mentioned:
Loading GMail or Google Reader from a Safari bookmark appears to behave differently when compared to loading either site from a link on another page.
The solution is to change the address of your bookmark so that it is similar to loading the site from a link on another page. When you bookmark Gmail, it's address will read:
https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
However, edit the address of this bookmark to:
javascript:window.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox'
This Javascript snippet will trick Safari to open Gmail as if you had clicked a link on another page and the tab will display the correct page title including unread count. You can follow a similar pattern with Google Reader or other sites that exhibit a similar problem. -
Safari does not show Gmail Custom Labels on sidebar
I am missing Gmail labels I've created. Sidebar shows the color codes without text or label names. Does anyone have the same problem? I am using Safari 6.05.
You need to restore as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As you have said there is really no data, there is no point restoring from a backup as junaid has suggested. Make sure that iCloud synching is on (sign in with YOUR Apple ID on iCloud) Settings>>iCloud>> Make sure everything you want to synch is ON..Notes>>Contacts etc.
This data will get synched. When you sign in with your APpleID/iCloud the contacts..etc will get pushed back to the phone. Before you restore as new do a backup to be safe but do not restore from it afterwards.
One you have restored as new, the phone will be as it came "out of the box." followo the instructions on screen to set it up. -
My Safari is not loading YouTube correctly, please help.
Starting on January 15th, 2009, my Safari no longer loads Youtube.com correctly. The homepage looks bizarre, and not like it should. The other links on the page all have similar issues. I have below two screenshots to help visualize what I am trying to describe:
http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/Mezamete/Picture1.png
http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/Mezamete/Picture1-1.png
This is with Safari version 2.0.4 (419.3)
Flash player is freshly updated, if anyone is curious about that.
I would love to be able to use Safari again to view my youtube. As it is, I can see it just fine in Firefox.Hi,
Have you tried resetting Safari? You can do this via Safari menu > Reset Safari...
Also, is there a reason why you aren't running the latest versions of OS X and Safari? OS X 10.4.11 comes with Safari 3, and the latest updates to 10.4.11 now take Safari up to 3.2.1. The latest versions can be obtained by running System Preferences > Software Update -

Safari does not open pages correctly.
This problem occurs only on one account on my mac. When I try to open a webpage created in iweb the menu bar which contains all links was disappeared from that page. Instead there was a black dot. There is also a google search box on that page. Even that search box doesn't work. I tried to open the page from other user accounts but it opened correctly.
Firstly I thought the problem is with iweb sites. But later I discovered that it comes on other pages as well. A few days back all text on digg.com was looking all mixed up.

Mapviewer themes not rendering in correct order
I have a map request that consists of three themes in this order:
1) wms_getmap_request grayscale evelation map
2) jdbc_query datalayer
3) wms_getmap_request state borders map
I assume that each of these layers would render in the order it is defined, so grayscale would be the base, followed by the datalayer, topped by the borders.
this is not the case. the wms_getmap_request layers are rendered first and the datalayer is placed over the top of them.

any way around this?
any help is appreciatedHi Forum,
I have a similar problem but not quite the same one. I am creating Oracle Maps application with a georaster surface at the top (with certain level of transparency) along with a road network below it. But, probably due to this default MapViewer rendering, the road network is being rendered at the top of the Georaster surface even when I make the Georaster completely opaque.
I have created the map in MapBuilder and generated the tiles using MapViewer. While previewing the map in MapBuilder as well as looking at the generated tiles, I am facing the above problem. Can you please tell me whether I can set keepthemesorder="true" somewhere so that while generating the tiles I don't come across this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Twitter & Tumblr not rendering text correctly.

Have tried the usual trouble shooting. When changing the page style to 'No Style' - the text displays.
Manually disabling all addons and plugins doesn't fix the issue however when using Firefox in safemode, the text appears fine.
Changing the character encoding does not alleviate the issue.
Running windows 7 x64 with all the latest updates and the latest firefox.
Chrome displays twitter and tumblr fine.
Using the default FF theme.Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Bridge CS4 not rendering images correctly
i have macbook 10.4.11 with 60 GB free, and 2GB of RAM and when i hit the space bar in bridge to view my photos at full screen the photos do not sharpen. they used to but now they don't, they just remain blurry. i have tried "purge cache" and checking "generate monitor size preiews" and nothing. Anyone have any other advice?
Thanksi have tried "purge cache" and checking "generate monitor size preiews" and
nothing. Anyone have any other advice?
Usually that should do the trick, although it should be the other way round,
after having set monitor size previews you use the purge cache for folder
option to make it effective, did you used it in that order?
Also if the problems keep occurring try a preference reset with restarting
Bridge with option key and choose refresh preferences. Set prefs again to
your wishes and try again.
