Safari 8 corrupted graphics display

Hi -
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
To date it has been very reliable but since I have upgraded to Yosemite I am getting blocks of corrupted graphics in safari when browsing the web. I can temprarily cure this by exiting from Safari and or clearing the history.
I have reset the pram and via Apple online help re set Safari back to factory defaults. I have also performed a clean install twice.
I only seem to get the problem in Safari, not for example in Aperture or Photoshop which I presume uses more graphic power. I have also run a couple of online graphics benchmark tests succesfully. I can also use Chrome to browse websites without a problem.
There are other posts on here with users experiencing a similar problem but no resolutions.
Is this a glitch in Safari / Yosemite or a possible sign of the on board graphics failure in the the late 2011 MBP ?

Safari 3.2.1 With 10.5.6 Update = Corrupt Font Display

Since updating to 10.5.6, Safari is corrupting the display of certain small fonts, such as the "Compose" and "Preview" tab labels at the top of this Discussion "New Topic" window, and mail subjects in Yahoo web mail. The problem is more severe with small bold fonts. I have OS X's font smoothing turned off for font sizes smaller than 12 pt, and use the CRT smoothing style, as I prefer little to no font smoothing on my LCD monitor.
I've reset Safari, corrected duplicate fonts, validated all fonts, run DiskWarrior, FontNuke to clear all font caches, and even reinstalled the 10.5.6 combo updater; nothing has helped. If I make the font one size smaller, the corruption is mostly corrected. OmniWeb 5.8 has the same issue as Safari under 10.5.6; FireFox 3.0.5 & Camino 1.6.6 are unaffected, and render fonts as well under 10.5.6 as they did under 10.5.5.
I've booted my 10.5.5 backup to verify that Safari 3.2.1 and OmniWeb 5.8 had no font display issues before the 10.5.6 update. The 10.5.6 update was the only software change made on my system since the 10.5.5 backup I used for comparison.
Anyone else seeing strange font display in Safari under 10.5.6? I think you'd have to minimize OS X font smoothing as described above for the problem to become visible. I'm out of possible solutions, other than hoping for a fix in 10.5.7.

Well, for the time being, I'm just going keep 10.5.6, and use revised font smoothing settings: "Automatic" style, and "turned off" for font sizes 10 pt and smaller. The reason is that I did a little more investigating, and found that the distorted small font issue affects the entire system, including the Finder, not just Safari.
I checked my G4 MDD that's running 10.4.11 on two 23" monitors (1920x1200), and it has the same issue as my G5 running 10.5.6, if font smoothing is turned off. So, this is apparently a long standing OS X issue that, for some reason, never affected my lower resolution G5 system driving a 20" monitor (1680x1050) until the 10.5.6 update was installed.

Safari won't display graphics for some web sites

There are some sites that Safari won't display all of the graphics. For instance, nissanusa.com opens to a blank page with a little "feedback" symbol in the lower right corner. Similarly, the infiniti.com page has some text but no graphics. Both pages open fine on Firefox. There are other pages, but I prefer not to have to switch back and forth between browsers. Am I missing a plug-in that I don't know about?

Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!

Graphic display bug on MSI GS70 2PE Stealth Pro

Hello,
I have a graphic display bug that appears every now and then... Most of the times, it only lasts a few seconds, but sometimes it hangs bugged and I have to reboot the laptop.
I would have like to post a picture of my screen when it's corrupted, but I can't find how to join a .jpg to my message, and I'm not allowed to post an external link neither!
I have updated my drivers; both for the GTX 870M and the Intel HD Graphics chipset... but to no avail!
I hope someone will be able to help me solve the problem!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the FAQ is for Apache not the stealth, just wonder if you experience the same problem. Anyway, try to unchecked the exclusive mode under advanced tab of microphone properties and chat with your friend in game again. Hop this could help you out. I google for a while and one guy fixed it up by unchecked the exclusive mode. Do not know if this applies to you since I unchecked it and chatted with my friend by skype, he barely heard me. But it would be ok if I ticked off exclusive mode. Strange.

RE-FX and graphical display

Hi,
I would need to display the architectural view of RE-FX (buildings, properties etc.) in a graphical display tool.
What are the settings required in RE-FX? Should the geocoordinates (longitude, latitude) be maintained in the RE object master data, and if so is there some enhancement or similar for adding those?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
sorry, do you mean this is available in RE or not?
Would anyone have some examples how the link from RE-FX to GIS systems has been made?
Should the mapping of the RE objects to the map be done in some external tool like some geodatabase? Is this typically something that is provided by the external map tool e.g ESRI?
In SAP help is mentioned the architectural view is recommended for this link ,but I can't find any practical information about how this should be done:
"Use of the architectural view is optional. It is recommended in the following cases:
.... You want to link to graphical systems."
If you have any ideas about this it would be really great!

On windows 7 machine, safari fails to display web sites

on windows 7 machine, safari fails to display web sites

what happens is you type in the url and press enter then nothing. the fix was to run "netsh winsock reset"
If the winsock key reset helped things, that usually indicates trouble with a LSP. (That's also consistent with a 'silent" Safari page-load failure.) If you run into the problem again, perhaps try the following document:

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Safari won't display pdf in browser

Posted before in wrong forum.
I am really sorry if this has been posted before, but I have been searching the forums and can't find an answer to it. I was also looking for the FAQ article about this that Apple says is an answer, but can't find that either.
Anyway, using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Safari won't display pdfs in the browser. It is gray with the Acrobat logo.
I remember reading that the solution is to uninstall (delete) Safari and reinstall 3.0.4. However, I cannot find an install for 3.0.4 for Mac, and then do something with Acrobat. I am using 3.0.4 because it was part of a bundled OS update. I can't go back and downgrade my OS...
What do I do?

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

Safari will not display new domain endings on iPad

Safari will not display new domain endings, instead goes to google, other browsers have no issue with this just safari. My domain per example ends in .photo rather than .com etc.... This is only an issue on the iPad or mobile app of safari.

You need to check that website again, after clearing the cookies from browser. If it still unable to connect with the website having new domain names then message to Safari forum about the problem or inform them via feedback option available in browser. Hopefully they would troubleshoot this problem.

Safari will not display pages

I recently updated to Mountain Lion on my late 2010 MacBook Air. Today, I attempted to use Safari and I can get no page to display. Safari itself loads, but no pages will load. I use Chrome as my default browser and only pull up Safari occasionally, so I can't say for sure that I have used Safari since the upgrade, however, I probably have.
Today, I was invited to a Go To Meeting online meeting. I opened the page in Chrome and it downloaded the GTM app. I clicked on that and it tried unsuccessfully to download required files from it's server via it's own app. I tried this several times without success and then thought to try the entire process using Safari. That is when I discovered that Safari would not display pages. It acts as if it has no connection to the internet. Safari loads and the progress bar moves a little across the top then it just stops. It never times out or complains; just nothing.
Given that the GTM app looks also like it cannot connect to the internet, I went looking at some of the suspects. My firewall is turned off. My network status comes up clean when I test it. ...and more oddly, Chrome seems to have no problems with any and all pages.
I searched for similar problems with solutions and one recommendation was to boot into safe mode to see if that made a difference. I did that and there was no difference. Since I don't use Safari routinely, it is stock, as delivered.
Any ideas for how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Bill

Safari will not display flash sites

safari will not display flash sites? Instead it will show a small box that says "flash" and once you click on it, it then displays the flash site!!
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running .....
Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Version: Java SE 7 Update 25
and
Flash Player: 11.8.800.94

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.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Safari will not display some media content despite Flip4mac loaded

As the subject indicates, Safari will no longer display some media content after installing Flip4mac. Where that media content would normally display all I see is a square with the Quicktime logo in the middle and a question mark in the middle. For example see the Dakar Rally site http://www.raid-live.com/dakar/en/index.shtml#. In my case Safari does not display the Flash content relating to "Premium Offers".
Mozilla displays everything fine though I don't particularly want to move between browsers depending on the on-line content. I'd rather not use Mozilla as in some cases the page appearances aren't as neat as those displayed by Safari.
Is there a way of restoring Safari back to its default settings in order get it to play ball.
Cheers
Chris

Also a possible explanation is Safari cache files. Safari can be quite stubborn about holding on to these and refusing to let go of a cache file for a page, not showing up-dated content. Since the new user account didn't have any cache files Safari displayed the file correctly there, and used a "bad" cache file in your original account. Even clicking reload doesn't necessarily force Safari to take a new look at the page code. Drives me batty sometimes. If that is the problem you can go to the Safari menu item, choose Empty Cache and try again. I'v had instances though where I had to empty the caches and quit and relaunch Safari to get it to display a page properly.
Another thing to do, to make sure something is a Safari specific problem rather than a system problem, is to download Firefox and try it with a funky page. If the page works in Firefox, but not Safari, you know it is Safari being funny and not your system.
My truck was running rough the other day when I moved it to wash it. Was not looking forward to using it to haul stuff the next day, but when I started it then it worked just fine....

Safari does not display pdf's properly...

MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
Thanks

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.
