Safari 5.03 I can not get ANY web pages except APPLE to load Help please

Hello, I just downloaded thru software update Safari 5.03. I am using SL for OS on Macbook Pro.
Now literally when trying to go to ANY web page at all I get a bunch of " little squared letter A's on the entire web page.
any web page
THe only web page that works at all is Apple site where i can view an use this forum.
please help anyone
thanks
scott

First of all thank you for the reply,
1. I deselected: enable plug-ins
Quit Safari- then relaunch-- DID NOT work, I still have all "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" IN BOXES ON EVERY WEB SITE I TRY TO VISIT.
BUT AGAIN THE APPLE WEB SITE I AM ABLE TO TYPE YOU THIS MESSAGE. ONLY APPLE SITE WORKS
2. Also tried to turn off any extensions ( i did not have any but turned off-- DID NOT work
3. I did try to troubleshoot the safari plist file.
I looked at some of your prior posts and tried those plist attempts. I tried to move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the preferences--AGAIN THIS DID NOTHING.
BUT......I tried this but not total solution. I went on my other mac--I opened Safari ( i think 4.03) but again another mac, I then went to Firefox web site and I COPY AND PASTED THE ACTUAL WEB SITE IN AND PUT IT ON A SMALL FLASH DRIVE--THEN COPY AND PASTED IT INTO THE ADDRESS WINDOW OF SAFARI 5.03, AND HIT RETURN-- IT THEN WENT TO THE FIREFOX WEBSITE AND IT VIEWED IT PROPERLY, SO I DOWNLOADED FIREFOX AND TRIED TO RUN FIREFOX.
AND LOW AND BEHOLD FIREFOX WORKS.
BUT I STILL CANT GET SAFARI TO WORK
again, i still get ON EVERY SITE USING SAFARI 5.03 " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" capital "A"s in little boxes on every web site. Almost like some code is not being read correctly by Safari?
please advise some more if you can
thanks
scott
p.s I used caps so you know what i tried, so i am not yelling, sorry for the caps.

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • On my Iphone 4, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. help?

    On my Iphone 4s, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. A few days before that the speaker suddenly stopped working during a call. I also reset everything by connecting to itunes but no luck then. help?

    Hey there xntricj,
    It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
    iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
    After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
    If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I Just bought a ipad 2 and I can conect to my home wifi but I cant connect to any free hotspots. my ipad shows the network and connection but I can't get any web pages.

    I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

    Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.

  • After 6 months can not access some web pages

    I can not get several web pages to work when I pull them up. Like Comcast, the main page comes up but not the current TV listings.

    Unfortunately this hasn't worked either. I did this several times, after deleting cache files and repairing permissions. Do you think the issue is something that the ISP could address?
    Another issue has appeared: I'm unable to login to a site that a friend has constructed; he assures me that when he uses the same login information on his mac there's no access problem. When I try, the login fields just reappear, without what I've entered.
    Any ideas are appreciated!

  • Just updated to 8 & now I can't open any web pages & firefox is still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

    Just updated to 8 & now I can not open any web pages as well as firefox will not close out, it still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT1386 I have a brand new Iphone 5, I use Itunes 10.7 I can not get any music on my Iphone,

    I have a new Iphone 5
    Add a new music cd to the library and then sync music
    Also tried manual
    TRied on several computers for some hours and evenings
    Can not get any music on my Iphone at all
    Sometimes I get informed that after copy some are not copied as they have the wrong formet
    Also tried with a new CD
    No fault during sync, but no music

    Good.
    Three things come to mind:
    1.  I think you're implying when you travel away from your home to a more populated area, the cellular coverage improves and your iPhone works well.  Is that right?
    2.  Do you have a case or some other obstruction over or near your iPhone's antenna?  Have you tried moving or removing any possible obstructions near the antenna?
    3.  AT&T has a (free) app in the App Store called "Mark the Spot".  You can use this app to report voice and/or data issues to AT&T, as well as keep up on progress they may be making in improving coverage in your area.  Your trouble reports are geotagged (if you wish).

  • TS1398 bought a mini and also have an IPAD2  have used ITunes to download all programs to the mini but have NOT BEEN ABLE TO have the connection to the Internet and CAN NOT get any emails. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

    I thought when I bought a MINI that all I'd need to do is sync up with ITunes to get all apps and setting to the Mini. I was wrong as I can not connnect to the internet and can not get any emails. Have tried just about all suggestions under support  but need to reach out to actual users who may have run into similar prblem. I must be missing something as I have to believe that Apple would make it as simple/easy as possible to connect to the interne. I still have my internet connect with my Ipad2.
    appreciate any help on this one as MY WIFE is driving me crazy as she wants to use the internet with HER MINI!!!
    Thx  Wayne

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.
