Safari 5 Doesn't Load Anything

I updated my Safari from version 4.0.5 to 5.0 for leopard and After restart The program would open a window and it would appear to start loading the homepage but stops there. No little loading wheel and no matter what url I put in, it'll pretend to start loading and then sit there and do nothing. I've already tried uninstalling it fully and redoing it. I've tried deleting any and ALL plug ins. I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the older version but it wouldn't let me and would repeatedly tell me that a newer version of Safari is already installed, even after I had uninstalled it. I just want it to work again, I don't care what version or if I loose my bookmarks.

HI,
I've tried deleting any and ALL plug ins.
Since you deleted plugins...
Before you lose your Bookmarks, if you can, with Safari open from the Menu Bar click File/Export Bookmarks. Save that file to your Desktop just in case.
Next, login to another user account and see if Safari functions as it should there. If Safari works there, then the problem is at least isolated to your user account only and not a system wide problem.
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 you didn't repair disk permissions after the Safari 5 update was installed, 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.
If nothing above helps, install the v10.5.8 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.5.8.

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Safari doesn't load pages containing html5 canvas on iMac

Suddenly Safari either is very slow to load or doesn't load some pages at all.
I have tracked it down to be pages containing html5 canvas element.
This happens only on iMac and Macbook Air. It doesn't happen on iPad nor on Safari on a Pc. It will happen on the Mac computer both when the pages are out on the internet and when the pages ar locally stored. It's driving me absolutely mad!
I've tried emptying cache both through Safari menu and by removing Safari's Cache.db, I've reset Safari preferences, restarted, and changed DNS to Open DNS (though it seems strange it should be an issue since the problem also occurs when I run the site on localhost).
If I open the page directly entering the url in the adressbar it works fine, it is when I try to access it from a link on another page on the site it doesn't load. If I press reload it will load fine. The link from other pages can be either an html <a href="url"> tag or javascript window.location or window.location.href neither works. The weird thing is it worked fine until just yesterday. And it works fine on every other machine except the Macintoshes. WHY

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried everything you wrote now, however the problem remains.
One thing I've noted though is that the page actually loads but it takes very very long time, and sometimes when the pages have been loaded the images doesn't look quite right until I hit the reload button.
I've been thinking about another thing, there are a lot of effects like round corner, shape and text shadow, can it be these that cause the problem? I still think it is very strange though that it all of a sudden stopped working and that running it on PC or iPad everything is just fine.
Another thing to add is that the computer is very new just got it like 2-3 weeks ago, and haven't hardly added anything except got Xcode, macVim, firefox and Filezilla.
Also just before the problem appeared I ran a page with javascript that had me caught in an endless loop of alerts. Got that fixed, but ever since that some pages won't load correclty...
Is there possibly anything else I can do to fix this?

Safari doesn't load, just crashes.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me. Safari has started throwing errors up which means it doesn't load giving the below error message (it's not complete, can copy the rest if needed). Hadn't done any updates (I've just installed Mavericks in the hope that it would fix, but no luck).

Safari doesn't load redirect page

Hi everybody,
I have an activation mail for subscribers.
It contains a link like :
http://oneSite/do/something?param=yeah&url=https%3a%2f%2fanotherSite/do/somethin g/else%3fparam1=tata%26param2=titi&trolollo=true
On ipad using safari (and only there) clicking it does the redirection (I can see the correct url on the new tab) but doesn't load the page. It stays blank.
It also appens on ipad simulator.
However using "open in a new tab" or pasting it in url bar works well they're not really userfriendly behaviors.
Has anyone an idea about a workaround ?

Since it's both Macs ...

IPhone 4 Wi-Fi connects, doesn't load anything

Hello there,
Up until a week or two ago my Wi-Fi was working almost flawlessly on all my iDevices.
Now however, both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S have issues loading anything through my home Wi-Fi network. They both identify the network, and about 80% of the time they can connect to it. But it refuses to load data (Safari hangs for ages until it tells me it can't load the page, apps that use the internet forever load etc).
Here's a list of the things I've done on my iPhone to try and solve the problem.
TROUBLESHOOT /// EFFECT
Turned iPhone on / off /// Sometimes no effect, other times the internet works for about 20 seconds before being unable to load data again.
Renewed lease /// Usually no effect, once or twice it worked for a minute or two.
Reset network settings /// No effect at all.
Turned Wi-Fi on/off /// No effect.
I have Virgin Media 100mbit internet, so it uses the "Superhub" that is a modem and router in one. Here's what I've done on it to fix it:
TROUBLESHOOT /// EFFECT
Lowered Wi-Fi Speed (Old: 300mbps New: 150mbps) /// No effect.
Manually selected a wireless channel /// No effect.
Reset router entirely /// No effect
Reset Wi-Fi (pressed button on the front, D/C's and then reconnects WiFi devices) /// Worked for about 20 seconds, then nothing.
As you can see, I have no idea what is causing the problem. Sometimes messing with the router gets a VERY temporary fix, and sometimes messing with the iPhone does.
I should mention I'm connected to business broadband (BT phone line) at the moment, and it's working fine.
The Wi-Fi has always been set to these standard settings:
802.11 mode:
Up to 300Mbps
802.11N Band:
2.4Ghz
I haven't troubleshooted on the iPad 2 (It's not mine) but it had problems at the same time as my iPhone 4.
It's awkward because it's hard to tell what's causing it. On the one hand, it could be my router/hub because both iDevices wok fine on the secondary network. On the other hand, it could be the iDevices, because my laptop connects fine.

What fixed it for me was resetting the Touch, then restoring (an 8 HOUR PROCESS!!!!!).
WHen I disable security in my Wireless router, I can connect without problems to all the internet / web services. I still haven't been able to connect from an outside w-fi connection, but they are probably blocked in some way, even though I do connect.

Safari doesn't load monitor profiles

I'm using my mac book pro's internal display with an external display connected through mini display port. I calibrated both of them, but safari 4.0 doesn't load the profiles while firefox does. I looked through safari preferences but I found nothing about color management or monitor profiles.
Any comments would be apprecieated.

Just tested on mine and it's working.
Are you on Wi-Fi? Mine is.

Safari doesn't load a special page

hello,
I've got a problem with Safari. It doesn't load a special page. I always got a timeout. It's the admin page from my pixelpost site. Other Browsers like Firefox or Camino etc didn't work too, but when I start Parallels and load this page in Internet Explorer all browsers under Mac OS X works perfect after I load it once in windows.
Deleting cache or deinstalling Safari completly and reinstall with Pacifist didn't solve the problem. I couldn't explain it for me, so I hope that some of you know a solution.
I've got always the newest version of all Mac OS X Browsers
Thank you,
Marek

Hi again Marek,
Thanks for the info, perhaps some one will pipe in with more for you, I hope so.
I suggest you look at Parallels support, & contact them.
See if there is an update for it, that may help.
Other wish if I were you i would try uninstalling the Parallels software,
to see if that makes any difference to your accessabity to said site.
It is indicated that it may be the issues simce you say you can load the page if the application parallels is running, it's as if you mac is behaving like a windows box.
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/faq/
I don't know how else to help, good luck! & please keep us posted.

Safari doesn't load after upgrade to 5.1

Following the recent OS update to 10.6.8 and the Safari upgrade to 5.1, Safari will not load any internet page (it doesn't freeze. This only happens with my user and it works perfectly for another user. I removed my plugins, cookie files, safari.plist, removed and reinstalled safari but nothing helped.
Any suggestions?

Just your user account? That's the good part, at least it's not a system wide issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug ins
Quit then relaunch Safari. If pages load then it's a third party add preventing pages from loading. This can happen when an add on was compatibility with the prior version of Safari but not 5.1.
I see your check plugins but they are easy to miss.
Check these folders:
Manually uninstall third-party add-ons
If the software doesn't have an uninstall feature, quit Safari and try manually removing the third-party add-on files. These files are usually installed in one or more of the following locations:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.
The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
You should also check Extensions. Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Safari doesn't load certain sites properly (anything better out there)?

Hi there,
Safari is playing tricks and is not willing (capable?) of reading certain sites (mainly banking). Colors are not correct and I can't see the menus although they are there since I can click on the white background and be directed to a desired service (after long series of trial and error...). On a second case.. the bank site shows a message saying the login page is not available (????? strange???)..I did try the same page with PC (windows) and got there very easily. I just can't use my Mac for trivial activites like surfing the internet whilst being able actually to read the site ..to banking services.
Any quick fix for this issues? Is there a better ibrowser for Mac? O should I sell my new Mac and reinvest in PC?
Thank you for your interest and anwer,

Safari doesn't load pages, Not able to quit Mail.

Hi, I'm having real troubles with my Safari an Mail. Hope that there is anyone out there knowing what is going on.
safari always starts to load the page but then freezes and stays like that forever.
there is no colored ball circling around and it does not affect the system. it just starts loading and stops right at the beginning.
i am also able to quit safari properly (cmd+q)!
when i open it again, most of the time the same thing is happening.
it seems like there is no internet connection but firefox works and safari is usually telling me if this is the case so this can not be the problem...
sometimes safari works properly (after relaunching it) for some time but then this "bug" suddenly (re)appears.
a little hint: it might have something to do with my user account because i had the same problem at my old macbook pro and i took over the old account via time capsule (only my music folder! no preferences or any other files was the plan but tc decided also to take over my whole old library...)
i have already emptied the caches and reseted safari.
i also tried deleting:
form values
download.plist
com.apple.Safari.plist
like the guy here at the apple support community adviced at this thread
and here is where it really gets weird:
always when safari does this kind of thing mail is not loading my mails either nor am i able to shut it down completely.
the window disappears but it is still running.
this is how far it is loading:
i'm counting on all of you and hoping for some help

Safari doesn't load pages properly

I'm developing a website but I'm having problems with Safari. So far I've tested the website as follow:
PC:
IE 6, 7, 8
FireFox
Mac:
Safari
FireFox
Where not specified the browser's version is the latest.
The website is at http://www.douglasinscotland.co.uk/
I'm experiencing this problem in Safari for Mac only. The website is within a main frame as this method is forced by the hosting provider.
The problem: when browsing quickly between different pages in the website often the page don't seem to load properly. Instead of appearing with a consistent dark background, it appears with some white blocks as if the browser failed to load properly the background colour for certain parts of the page. To experience it you need to click several times on the menu in the top right of the website.
I've tried this from a different Mac in a friend's house and it's happening the same.
I've used CSS and some JavaScripts on the pages.
It happens when tested in local too, therefore it doesn't seem to be a problem related to the frameset or the hosting.
Could anybody please give me a clue where to look at to solve this annoying problem?
Thanks
paolo
