Safari 7.0.4 Back button often greyed out.

Since updating to Mavericks and getting Safari 7.0.4 with that, often my Safari back button is greyed out when clicking on a link in a page. When a link opens a new window, of course there will be no back button function for that new window until you click on to another page. That is not the problem. My back button is greyed out often when I click on a link that changes the current window to the new page without giving me a new window. Normal surfing stuff. I have had to use my History dropdown to go back to the previous page.

Delete the cache and troubleshoot Safari extensions and plug-ins...
pen 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.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

  • Sometimes my back button is greyed out and does not show the previous page i was just looking at!?

    This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.
    All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.
    However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.
    I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

    I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site

  • Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

    At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.
    Sorry for the duplicate post, see this topic: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/807937

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

    Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

    Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

    Our I-Pad has never connected with our wireless internet from since we got it. Our laptop connects just fine and we have a strong signal.  We now have a locked screen stated that I-cloud has not been backed up in 9 weeks. Plug into internet?  However when you click the button to try to get to the internet it does nothing. The power off button is greyed out so not an option to shut down. Just froze on that screen?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
    Thank you in advance.

    Try this.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • SRM Confirmation - All buttons are greyed out

    Hello experts,
    I have seen posts on similar isue but could not find one which was relevant.
    Here is my problem.
    I see that after a confirmation is created, when I go back into "Display and Process Confirmations ", all the buttons are greyed out. The header statuses for the confirmation are as given below.
    Complete 
    Confirmed 
    Created 
    Approved 
    Currently Being Transferred 
    I am not sure why it says "Currently Being Transferred", when its actually posted in the backend.
    All clean up and update jobs are running fine. I am on SRM 5.0. I even tried the program to regenerate BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB entries.
    Please help incase you have experienced this or know the solution to resolve this problem.
    Thank you.
    Thanks and Regards
    Manish Mohan

    Hi Manish,
    Did you manually run the update reports CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2 without any document numbers?
    So there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for this document?
    You mention that the document has been created successfully in the backend?
    Did you check the status of the IDOC in both EBP and the backend?
    Nevertheless I have an Info for you - If you debug the program                                   
    clean_reqreq_up you may find out that the corresponding IDOCs within the                              
    backend system are never found by the FM                                                   
    B46A_GOODSMVT_UPDATECHECK - this FM is called within the program                                    
    clean_reqreq_up with the parameters: 
            object_ident-objkey = IS_DOCUMENT_TAB-OBJKEY.                                               
            object_ident-objtype = 'IDOC'.                                                              
            object_ident-logsys = sender_logsys. 
    where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.                                              
    Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system                                 
    (the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)                                
    all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang                               
    in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message                              
    is created for them.                                                                               
    The question is why is it not possible for this FM to found any IDOC in                             
    the backend system even when there are posted there...
    this FM is called within the program where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number
    within EBP-System.
    where the OBJKEY is the IDOC number within EBP-System.                                              
    Because the corresponding IDOC is never found in the backend system                                 
    (the return code from backend system is always 1 - object not found)                                
    all confirmations get the status I1019 (Transfer Error) and stay hang                               
    in the table bbp_document_tab in the QSR-system and also alert message                              
    is created for them. 
    So if there is no entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB, maybe, regenerage another one and run this in debug mode and recheck.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew

    Hello,
    the SMTP was set on "none." I selected the server and now it seems to work. The thing is--- is that this seems to be a recurring thing with the SMTP server not staying selected. I deleted and reestablished my exchange account about a month ago because mail would not send (the button was not greyed) but the mail would not send. the same thing was the problem, the SMTP switching to none. Thanks for your help, at least now I know what is causing the problem. sure wish it would stop switching to "none".
    Thanks again

    iPhone 4S wifi button has greyed out, though I did resolved it through Restore from backup button in iTunes, but after upgrade to iOS 7.1 it has again become greyed out after 2 days of upgrade.

    Hi and thanks for useful tips, the problem wasn't really a problem.. Kind of embarrassing, I had a finished project, that I loaded to iMovie clips, but I forgot to drag it down to the timeline... I think I have spend about 2h trying a lot of different settings etc... without any result, and finally it was just a lame mistake.. But thanks for your fast tips!!
    Edit: Beverly Maneatis I have a MV30, I bought it without DV IN, because it was a easy way to hack it, using the remote control to the camera.. If you are interested you can read more about here...

    My standard list of things to do first for these wierd sort of problems, but I also tend to run these before I go to burn an iDVD project just to be safe. Keep in mind this list represents the programs I tend to use. There are several alternate programs that do the same things with some combining the functions of some of the ones below. So everyone has their favorites, but here are mine...
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system, especially any external drives that you use for iMovie and iDVD projects.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Reboot your Mac (after running Cache Out X you are given the option to restart the machine).
    My guess is that after running Cache Out X and restarting you might find your hard drive space back again. If not, you might try booting off your restore/install CD or DVD that came with your system and then trying to delete that log file, then rebooting with your hard drive again.

    Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks & Happy New Year :-)

    First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
    That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
