Safari 4 on Snow Leopard not displaying a webpage properly

I know for a fact it is Safari that has a problem because I opened the webpage with Firefox and it displays 100%.
Safari won't load the background image and the album art for a website, firefox can.
Is there something I can download or a fix?

I have no problem loading that site. Did you Repair Disk Permissions after you installed Snow Leopard? If not, do that now. Also, you may be able to resolve your problem by doing all of this:
Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>Advanced.
In the DNS Server window, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have (if any):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
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.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

  • Safari In Snow Leopard Not 64-Bit?

    Hi, All!
    I installed a copy of Snow Leopard a few days ago. The install went fine, and everything seems fine after the update, except:
    I read multiple times that Snow Leopard would come with an updated, 64-Bit version of applications such as Safari. But when I open Safari and look at the process in Activity Monitor, under Kind [of memory] it says, "Intel," not "Intel (64-bit)," like other things (such as the Finder). Is this supposed to be like this? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong.
    One thing that I think may have casued the problem:
    After installing Snow Leopard, I saw a folder on the disc called Optional Installs. I thought it was odd that I would need to install these things again, as I thought I had already installed them by clicking Customize in the initial Snow Leopard installation. But, I thought, better safe than sorry, so I installed them again via the Optional Installs package. Afterwards, I got this message:
    But, the latest update at the link given is for 10.5.8. Do I really install that?
    I realize now that it was probably unnecessary to run the Optinal Installs package.
    So, what should I do?
    How do I get the 64-Bit Safari, or do I have it already?
    If possible, I want to avoid reinstalling 10.6.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Nate

    Greetings,
    Safari 4.0.3 is not 64-bit compatible; besides, it wouldn't do you any good if it was, since Safari is not a memory-intensive application, and 64-bit applications have only a minor speed advantage in handling large amounts of RAM.
    The Optional Installs folder is only if you need to reinstall an application that is normally installed by default; there wasn't any need or reason for you to go in there. You already have the latest version of Safari.

  • No "Convert to * Chinese Text" service in Safari for Snow Leopard

    The services "convert to simplified chinese text" and "convert to simplified chinese text" don't seem to work in Safari under Snow Leopard. It works if you're in a text box, but not for text on the page itself (it worked under Leopard).
    Is this a problem with my system, or do others have this problem too? Is a fix planned, or is this a "feature"? (sigh)
    This is useful when reading webpages written in traditional (simplified) chinese for those who are better at reading simplified (traditional) characters.
    Test it yourself:
    Highlighting this traditional chinese character should allow you to access the "Convert to Simplified Chinese Text" service: 車
    Highlighting this character should allow you to access the "Convert to Traditional Chinese Text" service: 车
    Thanks

    Is a fix planned,
    Only Apple would know, and they never provide such info. Make sure you tell them you want this feature back via Safari > Report Bugs to Apple and

  • QT_WriteObject problem in Safari only, Snow Leopard

    Can someone help me display my H.264 movie on a web page?
    I have a H.264 encoded file which will not consistently play in Safari under Snow Leopard using QT_WriteObject. It does play in Firefox and XP/ IE 7, and will play in Safari if you give it the .mov file directly. I have 3 computers running Snow Leopard, and one of them, an iMac, will sometimes play the file. I booted the iMac into Leopard and it played the first time. The quicktime plugin shows as 7.6.3 in Snow Leopard.
    I have tried various combinations of the parameters for QT_WriteObject. I think the movie is 640 x 480 . I have added a little to the vertical so that the controller will show completely in Firefox.
    Here is the html I am currently using. The file is at tnwheeler.com/alaska1.html. There are no errors in the error console.
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

    Trip to Alaska in 1993
    This movie is in standard definition.
    At this time, this movie will not show in Safari. Please use Firefox.
    <script language="javascript">
    QTWriteOBJECT('http://tnwheeler.com/alaskafinal.mov' , '640', '500', '',"autoplay","true","bgcolor","#000000") ;
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I tried them both, in fact they are up there now, but no improvement. PageOT is a nice program. Actually, I started with the straight <embed> statements because they had always worked for me before. But I went to QT_WriteObject before posting because I thought people would say to try it.
    I noticed your OS is listed as 10.5? Is this still correct? If so, that may be why it works for you. I booted to an old version of Leopard, and it worked fine. All of my other videos work in Snow Leopard/Safari except for this one. It was created in the same way- exported from FinalCut (latest version) and then taken into DVKitchen for the H.264. Most , if not all, of the others are hidef, whereas this one is standard def.
    I think it is either a problem in how it was created (not by me, so I can't do much about that) or Safari under Snow Leopard. But the fact that it will play from the url, but not from the embed statements really has me puzzled.

  • Safari in Snow Leopard and search provider

    Hi,
    I cannot find option to choose search provider in Safari in Snow Leopard. Did it disappear?

    Hi,
    That image you posted is from the Windows version of Safari (note the close window button in the top right of the window).
    The Windows version does allow you to toggle between Google and Yahoo. For whatever reason, Apple only offers Google on OS X.
    Many third party developers offer tools that can change the default. Have a search on versiontracker.com / macupdate.com - just be aware that they may not be Snow Leopard compatible yet.

  • Safari on Snow Leopard

    The Safari in Snow Leopard is so disappointing. Am facing problems like
    - Pixelated images on some pictures on facebook (Working fine on Firefox)
    - Not automatically downloading files

    I have the same issue. Pages that were nearly instant before are now exceedingly slow (www.google.com, for example, takes about 7 seconds). I have several other computers on the same network that are either running Leopard or Windows that don't have this problem, so it's not a DNS issue. I've also verified that my network connection isn't saturated.
    I've tried the following:
    * Resetting Safari
    * Emptying the cache
    * Repairing permissions
    * Deleting all subfolders of ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    * Deleting Downloads.plist, History.plist, and LastSession.plist
    * Removing everything from both the system and account copies of the InputMethods and Internet Plugins folders
    This should essentially be a clean install of Safari, but it is still exceedingly slow. Note that it's not consistent: it will load a page quickly then, 5 seconds later, the same page will take a very long time to load.
    Sometimes, most of the items on the page will come in nearly instantaneously, but suddenly the page will stop loading for a good 5 to 10 seconds. Once that time elapses, the rest of the page suddenly downloads.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Safari in Snow Leopard

    I have upgraded to Snow Leopard weeks ago, and have been having minor issues. I usually use Firefox, but a website requires Safari in Snow Leopard to run - well, I've downloaded the Safari off of the snow leopard disk THREE times and it still says I have an invalid version on my computer and cannot run. I also just installed all the current FEI updates and all that stuff, to see if it would help - alas, I still do not have the ability to run Safari. This is killing me because I need this website to study for a huge test tomorrow, so any quick suggestions would be kindly appreciated.

    HI,
    If you are running 10.5.2, go to the Apple Menu / Software Updates. It's very important to keep your system software up to date.
    After you finish with the installation, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. 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.

  • Safari 6.0 will not display pdf's

    When I upgraded to OS X mountain lion and did all of the updates that were required, I found that the new version of safari (6.0) would not display pdf documents in the browser..... here's how i resolved it.
    Completely quit safari
    Back up data
    In Finder select  GO > Go to Folder. or use key combo Shift-Command-G and enter the following: /Library/Internet Plug-ins then press return
    (it's easier to view in list mode)
    Delete the file called  "  AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin  "
    Restart Safari and delete the cache and try to view an online pdf.
    I found it prudent to have the latest version of flash installed

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

  • Safari does not display pdf's properly...

    MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
    Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
    Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
    Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
    Thanks

    Try this ...
    Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go.
    If you see the:  AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
    Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

  • Safari on Snow Leopard doesn't play right with multimedia on WordPress

    I have a problem when I insert a QuickTime movie or Flash graphic into a WordPress post. The problem is that the CSS drop-down menu on the post page fall 'behind' the QuickTime movie instead of in front.
    To combat this I inserted the following embed codes in the html for the movie: <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> and wmode="transparent"
    This would appear to fix the drop-down problem but it creates a new problem for Safari on Snow Leopard for Macs. The QuickTime controls don't work on the movies. You can start/stop the movie by using the spacebar but the transparent layer kills access to the controls when either QuickTime X or QuickTime 7.x is used in Safari. Seems to work fine in Firefox.
    It might be easier to show the problem via examples which follow:
    No transparency code example
    http://www.hawaii247.org/2009/11/06/community-pays-tribute-and-honors-uncle-geor ge-naope/
    transparency code embedded example
    http://www.hawaii247.org/2009/10/29/rallying-in-hilo-for-the-international-day-o f-climate-action/
    Is there a away around the drop-down bug so I don't have to use the transparency embed code? The drop-down bug also occurs in IE8 I believe. If you choose the Sports drop-down you should see what I'm talking about in the first example.

    Yep. Exactly as you describe.
    Since your menu "drop downs" are the source of the original issue have you considered breaking the "long" one into "two" parts?

  • Safari 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly

    Safari 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly, including the Apple Support Website http://www.apple.com/support/.

    Maybe this will also help:
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    • history.plist
    • lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
