Safari 5 and Google Problem

I am using Safari 5.0.1. I go to: http://www.google.com/ and type in my search. I get a list of hits and my search query (keywords used in the search) shows up in the box - all normal. The problem is that if I hit on one of the links and then hit the back button to return to my search results, my query is no longer in the box at the top. My search results are all still there, but the keywords I originally entered are not (just a blank box). Thank you.

Hey,
I have not exactly the same but a very similar problem with Snow Leopard and Safari 5.1.4.  When I use google.com and then enter a search query I come to the list of results. When I click on any item and go back (arrows on the top left) everything is fine here. When I specify then my search query by adding something and repeat the procedure everything works fine as well, but here comes the issue:
- Starting from any webpage
- typing into the Safari search bar on the top right my search query
- specifying my search query by adding something into the html search bar on google's results page
- clicking on any item and then going back to the results list
- then the search bar of google just shows the original search query written into Safari's search bar on the top right.
Sorry, that was complicated to explain ;-).
I don't have that problem with Google Chrome or Firefox. I have tried what Carolyn suggested but it didn't fix the bug.
Thanks for any further support!
Jochen

  • I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to one web site only, that formerly was not a problem. Happens with Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas?

    I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

    Well, it seems weird & it has no email listed, you might try contacting them to see...

  • Safari and google plus site issues.

    Safari and google plus crashes when I go to the google plus website, but it works with my other browser apps. Help? I am using the mac retina display.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Safari and Google Chrome running slow on my MacBook

    Hi there!
    Over the last couple of weeks Safari (and Google Chrome) have started running very, very slow on my MacBook(I own a MacBook white, OS X version 10.6.8). I didn't install anything new over the last few months, so I don't think that is the problem. My Wi-Fi has been checked and that's not the problem either. Also, I emptied my cache and reset Safari, yet nothing seems to help.. Sometimes I even have to Force Quit Safari because it just stops working all of a sudden and it blocks my whole computer for over a minute. Anyone out there that can help me?

    Except for Facebook?
    Try the following:
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • I can't sign into my Youtube account on Firefox, but it works fine on Safari and Google Chrome. Deleting my web history, cookies, and etc didn't help. PLZ HELP!

    I click on sign in on Youtube.com and it takes me to the sign in page. I enter my information (correctly, duh) and then I am returned to the Youtube home page. I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers. By the way the cookies ARE enabled, so Idk what the problem is.

    hello, please also make sure that in particular youtube.com & accounts.google.com are allowed to set cookies (at least for the session)...

  • Safari and Google Maps are useless

    Safari and Google Maps invariably quit and return to the home screen. They are essentially useless. I tried to empty the cache and history...no luck. I then tried a reset and when it restarted got a message to please connect to iTunes. iTunes told me my phone needed to be restored. A progress bar indicated it was extracting some software and then it was preparing the iPhone for restoration. After some time I got an unknown error message (1603) that said it was unable to restore. I am looking at it as it sits uselessly in the dock with nothing but the apple icon showing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have a solution? Should I just return it to the Apple Store.

    James, I'm sorry to say buddy, but you might just have a defective product. If restoring doesn't work there really isn't much more you could do. You can ether wait for the next update, and hope that would fix it, or just take it back to the store and exchange it. You have 30 days from the day of purchase to return the item. Thats my recommendation. GL

  • I just installed ios8 on my ipad3 and now I can't exit out of the last search using Safari and Google search

    I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

    Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

  • Somebody who knows Safari and Google Safe Browsing please help me!!!!

    In Safari under the security preferences I get this message under the "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" ( it is selected to be on )
    The Google Safe Browsing Service is Unavailable.
    I repaired permissions from start up disc and all that. I logged into my other accounts, and this message isn't in safari on one of them. On mine is says that google safe search hasn't updated in 3 days. My girls says 10 days. My other account is fine.
    Everything is updated to the newest updates.
    What do I do??

    The blacklists from Google’s Safe Browsing Initiative (where Safari checks for 'fraudulent websites') are contained in a database cache file called SafeBrowsing.db - the file was created when you first launched Safari 3.2, and if you have the browser open, the file is modified approximately every 30 minutes.
    In other words it is part of Safari's (version 3.2 onwards) new anti-phishing security feature.
    As an alternative to turning off 'Warn when visiting a fraudulent website', which will lose you that important security feature, you should delete that database file, (but first close Safari):
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari (this is a folder)/SafeBrowsing.db
    It will be recreated next time you open Safari, and will then start again collecting details of dodgy websites.
    If you are interested:
    How the Anti-Phishing feature of Safari 3.2 works:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/137094/2008/11/safarisafebrowsing.html
    Some users have mentioned that the latest security updates 2009-001 and 002 cured the problem.You must also update to OS 10.5.7.

  • TS1398 I am not able to connect to itunes store or Youtube frommy Ipod Touch. Able to access safari and google etc

    My Wifi network is fine and I am able to open Safari and access Google and other web pages. However when I access Youtube or Itunes it says " Cannot connect to Youtube/ itunes store. Please help!

    Have you tried a simple reset of your device?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Can you try connecting the iPod to another Wi-Fi network to see if the problem persists there?

  • Safari and Firefox problems: hotmail, facebook ect. don't work

    I am having all sorts of problems with Safari and Firefox. I cannot get on hotmail, facebook and many other sites, but I can use google, just half the links won't load. Ran diagnostics, reset safari, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions??

    Erin...
    Empty your browser caches more often.
    Deleting cookies may help also. Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    If emptying the cache nor deleting cookies helped, try Safari in another user account.
    If you have the same problems there log back into your admin account.
    Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

  • Safari and flash problem!

    ok, i have a website running, it is done in flash
    professional 8 and i have flash player 9 installed. It works fine
    on internet explorer, loads up and everything runs great.
    I then tried it on safari and it loads up straight away
    although when i click on the links they dont respond or when they
    do they go to somewhere else, like a scene i have not linked it to.
    Reason i think it is doing this is because it isnt properly
    loaded, it says its loaded and the bar finishes loading but doesnt
    work correctly, if it is then left for a little while it works
    fine.. so i really don;t know what is going on.
    It works fine on an apple mac in preview mode, it is just in
    safari that is causing problems, the mac has flash player 9 also so
    i don;t know what to do now...
    how can i get round this because its been causing problems
    for ages now, basically its saying it has loaded and it hasnt
    properly, and therefore the links are not functioning correctly...
    this is what i think anyway.
    any help or ideas?

    I found a solution to the issues with the 9r115 release of
    Flash player. I got it to install on my G5 iMac (OS X 10.4.11). The
    issue is that your regular ID needs to have admin privileges for
    Flash to install and run correctly. I have two (2) user IDs on my
    machine at home - a regular ID (with no admin privileges) for daily
    use and one I use for admin stuff (for doing software updates and
    installs). (I think it was recommended to split things up this
    way).
    I was able to download and install Flash Player 9r115 using
    my admin account and Safari (I'm using the latest 3.1) correctly
    recognized it was there when I went to places that require Flash
    (cnn.com, scifi.com) - but did NOT recognize it when I went to
    those same sites under my regular ID.
    I also went to Disk Utility and did a Repair Permissions -
    the Flash installer apparently mucks around with the permissions,
    and repairing them seems to fix things.
    Also, I used the Accounts area of System Preferences to turn
    on the admin rights under my regular ID (logged out and in) and
    then Flash worked correctly with Safari at the web sites that
    require it.
    So the workaround for 9r115 seems to be:
    1) make sure your Mac logon ID has admin rights to the box
    (this may not be needed).
    2) download and install the Flash player
    3) run Disk Utility to repair permissions
    4) restart your browser
    FYI, this also fixed issues I had with Adobe Acrobat Reader
    where I had to logon to my admin ID to do check for and install
    updates. Now with machine admin rights on my regular ID, I can
    download and install updates (I had 8.1.1, now I have 8.1.2)

  • Safari and airport problems

    Safari started about a month ago getting hung up when loading, ending up with just not loading at all. Then I started getting messages that I was unable to join my network. I can get online at my office wirelessly(different network)but Safari is still very slow. At home, with my linksys router and Time Warner cable modem, I now only occasionally can get online.When I do get online, Ichat crashes continuously. My desktops work, and my husband's wireless radio works, but not my laptop. I have tried resetting router, called cable company and they said modem was fine. I removed plists and favicons, reset Safari, and added Open DNS numbers, which I later removed because it made connecting worse. I have run Disk Utility and repaired preferences. What is left??? I am reluctant to do the reinstall/archive. Pros and cons of this course of action? Sally

    I had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

  • Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

    I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
    I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
    I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
    Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
    I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
    sorry for the post...

  • Are there any browsers for Mac other than Safari and Google Chrome that are better with adobe flash for my Macbook 2009?

    On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.

    Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
    Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
    Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
    Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
    Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad).
