Safari 8.0 no longer appears to cache Web pages.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, Safari no longer appears to cache anything. Pages reload each and every time a page change is made. It affects both backwards or forwards changes and does not matter if I use the arrow buttons in Safari or swipe across the MagicPad.
As suggested on various other help sites;
I have removed all extensions from Safari 
I have put Safari into single process mode
I temporarily removed the Cache folder from the Library so that Safari created a new one when it was restarted
None of the above had any effect, the issue remains.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or knows how to fix it?

Hi Paul and Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you have a similar fix for slow Safari 4.0.3 on an iBook G4 running OS X.4.11?
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, enter (copy/paste on separate lines) 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes.
When done, select OK, then "apply"
Last step: In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
Restart Safari
In Safari Menu>Reset Safari. Select "empty the cache", then reset.

  • Safari Will Not Show Any Cached Web Pages From Any Website.

    Basically my problem is exactly as stated in the heading. Any web page I try to view a cached snapshot of returns: "Your search did not match any documents." Up until a week or so ago, I could cache any web page, unless it truly was to old to display a cached snapshot. It would never highlight the key words typed in the search bar when the cached option was selected, but it always showed the page. Now it will not cache any page.
    The links are not broken, because I can search every page from my desktop computer with no problems. It's only on my iPhone. I could try to view 5,000 cached web pages, and every one of them returns the same message: "Your search did not.....". I've cleared my history, cache, cookies, as well as log off, and power down the phone, and turn it back on. Nothing fixes the issue. I have the latest update, and have no other problems with my phone at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? This is very frustrating. A google search turned up nothing. This has to have happened to more people than just me. Hopefully I don't have to use the cache feature to find the answer:)

    I guess I'll join another forum, were there's people smart enough to help.

  • Why does Firefox no longer display .php suffix web pages which are in my Mac?

    I have a question about Firefox 14.0.1 displaying .php suffix web page files which are in a Mac running Mountain Lion OS 10.8. In eaarlier versions of Mac OS, for example 10.4.7, I was able to see properly displayed web page files with .html and .php suffixes when those web page files were in my computer. I refer to seeing the page as it should properly display, not seeing the source code. If a page had a .php suffix, the browser displayed the page properly although any php scripts embedded in that page were ignored.
    Apple occasionallly updated its OS and browser makers occasionally updated browsers. One day, I noticed that Safari no longer displayed web page files in my Mac if those pages had a .php suffix. However, Firefox and other browsers continued to display web page files with .php suffixes although the embedded php scripts were ignored.
    Now, I have Mountain Lion in iMac.
    I can no longer see .php suffix web page files in my computer regarless of the browser I use. No browser displays those pages.
    A .php suffix web page file which Firefox and other browsers display in 10.4.7 does not display in 10.8 if that web page file is in the computer.
    In my computer, I have html and php suffix web page files I want to see using a browser. The files I want to see and the browser both are in my computer. Html files display perfectly with one exception: if php scripts are embedded in the html files, the scripts are ignored. A file the name of which ends with ".php" will not be displayed regardless of whether there is a php script in the file. Safari displays the source code only. Chrome does not display the file at all. Firefox and SeaMonkey, which displayed .php suffix web page files in earlier versions of the Mac OSm now respond to such pages by providing a dialog box which seems to assume that the file is about to be downloaded from the Internet. The dialog box asks me if I want to use the browser to open the file or if I want to save it to disk. The file is on the disk at the time, and the computer is disconnected from the Internet. I click that I want to use the browser to open the file. Then the dialong box reopens with the same question. This happens over and over. I never get to see a web page file in my computer the name of which ends with ".php". With Firefox 14.0.1, I can see .php suffix web pages which are on the Internet or in a 10.4.7 Mac but not in a 10.8 Mac. Did I miconfigure Firefox? It seems unlikely that Firefox lost the ability to display pages in Mac OS 10.8 which it displays in `10.4.7. How can I solve this web page display problem?

    Haroon mentions two solutions. I used the easier one, which is to start the Apache webserver already in Mountain Lion and to enable the php already in Mountain Lion. It worked. I see the file correctly displayed with html, css, and php. I see the page by using Firefox. I enter an address in the address bar. For example, the address might be "localhost/example/example.php". I cannot see the page by using Firefox's "Open File ..." menu option or by dragging the file's icon onto Firefox's icon. I tried using your solution also but was unable to find the specific preference to modify. I found the page of preferences which may be modified but I could not find the one I need. I found a list of descriptions of the preferences at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries
    but I could not find the specific preference which I need.
    By the way, to enable loading the php module, one uncomments a line of code by deleting the initial "#" character, and one does that by pressing control key and "P" key while the cursor is over the "#" character.
    Also by the way, when I use Firefox or Safari to look at the Apache web directory in which my files are, the files are listed case sensitively. For example, the files are listed: Ace, Zygote, bar. This is because lower case follows upper case. THis annoys me. I prefer case insensitive listing. When I llok directly athe directory without using a browser, the files are listed case insensitively. For example, they are listed: Ace, bar, Zygote. I guess taht Apache is doing this.

  • A blinking cursor appears on every web pages.

    It's a blinking cursor that appears on every web pages in different sizes when I click anywhere on the web pages.
    Look at following pictures please:

    http://samansh.persiangig.com/2010/cursor2.jpg
    http://samansh.persiangig.com/2010/cursor3.jpg
    I believe that it's been originated and are spread from Google's Keyboard Navigation feature. As you may know, if you are using Google's Instant Search feature, you can use the keyboard to navigate Google's search result page.
    I did turn off the Instant Search to disable Keyboard Navigation, but the blinking cursor is still blinking on every Google and non-Google web pages.
    Next as a standard troubleshooting procedures for strange behavior I cleared cache and cookies , but it didn't help.
    I was using Firefox 3.6, so I uninstalled 3.6 (kept my personal information) and installed the latest version (3.6.13), but it didn't fix the problem.
    I don't see that cursor in IE. How can I get rid of it?
    Thanks in advance.

    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false if you do not want to use that feature.

  • Open cached web page?

    How can I open cached web pages?
    I know these are cryptically stored somewhere under Library/Caches/Safari, but is there a way to actually open these as web pages?

    Try using:
    tell application "Finder"
    set theURL to "yourURL"
    repeat with this_file in (get every file of entire contents of folder "Library:Caches:Safari:" of home)
    try
    set the_string to (read (this_file as alias) from 1 to 1000)
    on error
    set the_string to ""
    end try
    if the_string contains theURL then
    reveal this_file
    return --script stops right here if line reached
    end if
    end repeat
    display dialog "No cache file exists for that address." buttons "OK" default button "OK"
    end tell

  • My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters

    My Safari displays text in certains spots on a web page as mixed characters. Is there a fix for this or does anyone have an idea what may be going on? I have looked at my fonts and everything seems to be working just fine. I can't quite figure out why this only happens to certain text and not others. But I can't read half of the pages on the web because of this. I can copy the mixed up text out of Safari and past it in another application and the copy is in perfect english then.
    an example of what I am talking about is below:
    (Kvg"Urgekhkeu"/Crmg"/"Crmg"Fgumvqru
    Here is what it says when I copy the same characters out of Safari and paste them below:

    Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

    I work as a graphic designer so I keep a very clsoe eye on my font library. In fact I don't use font Book, I use Suitcase Fusion. But i went to font book and double checked and I don't have any duplicae fonts in there. Would you have any other ideas?
    thanks for your help!

  • Why does it take so long to load a web page on my iPad

    Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

    This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

  • Safari Browser (Mac) no longer runs Dreamweaver CS6 generated pages with Quicktime animation

    A site created on a Mac with Dreamweaver CS6 using Quicktime (QT) animations no longer runs those animations using Safari (7.0.6), whereas the site and pages run normally with other browsers.  However, Safari (and other browsers) runs site and QT animations normally on a Windows machine.  Have the latest versions of Safari (for Mac OS) disallowed running QT animations?  When testing a page with a QT animation, the page will not preview in Safari, but will with other browsers.  Do users require extensions for Safari (in Mac OS)  to make these QT animations pages work?  Or do I need a or Dreamweaver extension to make the pages function properly with Safari (for Mac)?

    Have you thought at all about switching to .mp4, .ogg and .webm and the html5 <video> tag?

  • Can I stop Safari giving me cached web pages on [back] ?

    I regularly read the news online where the home page for a news organisation (such as www.theguardian.co.uk ) contains many links to individual news stories.
    So, the normal process is to read the home page, click on a news article, then hit back to go back and pick another many times.
    However, on using [back] Safari pulls up a cached version of the news site, so listing news from whenever it last cached, often around 24 hours ago.  To fix this, I have to first hit [back] and then [refresh] which is annoying.
    Other browers I have used include options to check web pages (GIMS - Get If Modified Since [date/time of cache] - I believe) each time.  I'd love that or a way to define specific web pages I'd like Safari not to cache or a way to force a cache refresh of a particular web page (put this in your cache now as I know I want to get to this version and throw away your old one).
    Anyone got any ideas?  Please don't recommend clearing the whole cache, thanks.

    I'm going by your profile  (10.7.2)
    Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:  Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    Restart your Mac, try Safari.
    Restoring Safari windows may be causing a problem with the cache ...

  • Strange icon appears on my web pages

    I have a web site and for a long time now this icon has been appearing in my editor and now it sometimes appears on my live web page this is the icon 
    I have disabled all my plugins and add ons have disabled F7 someone had suggested the charset Currently using charset=iso-8859-1) was set incorrectly but my webmaster says that is not the cause,this is only happening in FF in IE it is ok, most of my pages are not affected yet some have 20 to 30 of these icons spread around the page,anyone with some fresh ideas would be appreciated.

    I have cleared all current icons,mostly they occur in the back end of my site in my editor page,only recently they have been appearing on my published site. So wouldn't be able to give you access,was hoping someone may have experienced the same problem.
    Thanks for the response

  • Aol and Upromise home pages have no photos and all options listed in one long list, not normal web page.

    My Sony Vaio laptop running windows Vista did some maintenance. I also updated Firefox. Later when I ran Firefox 22 with aol toolbar -2.2 the aol page or Upromise page did not load as normal with graphics. Both load as a list of text lines. Not at all normal. It's as if they're loading for a computer with a slow internet connection.
    When I run Internet explorer, both Aol and Upromise load normally.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Maintenance, hmmm, what was involved in that?
    Do the sites display normally if you reload them and bypass Firefox's cache? You can use Ctrl+Shift+r to do that.
    If this works on both sites, it could indicate that the maintenance program did a partial cleaning of Firefox's cache and the cache might not longer be indexed correctly. It might be best to clear it. Note: this does not erase history.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

  • I can no longer print off a web page (eg Flight booking confirmation). Other printer functions are OK. Any ideas?

    My printer will no longer print off web-pages, either from the tool bar command or from the "print page" command. This has only just happened and seeems to have followed a MS up-date, but can't be sure.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    All other printer functions work OK.
    Many thanks.

    My printer is HP Photosmart C4650 Series. I can print from everything but the Web. I don't get an error message or anything it just will not print.
    I'm using Windows 7, it had been doing fine than it just decided to quit printing from the web.

  • Many images do not appear on numerous web pages. How can I fix this? I have graphics enabled.

    For quite some time many images just do not appear on web pages. I have taken a screen shot of a page to show what the problem is but can find nowhere to upload it so you can see for yourselves. Now what do I do?

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Safari 8 Cuts off the top of every web page

    Ok, so I'm looking for a solution or I want to know if other people are having the same problem so hopefully apple will fix it.
    As my title says, Safari 8 in Mac OS X Yosemite is cutting off the top of every web page while in full screen. Not just a few, every single one, and it only does it in full screen. It only started after I updated to Mac OS X 10.10.1, it was fine with the original release of 10.10. Any takers?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
