Safari, always refreshes a page when opening

When I have multiple pages open in safari and want to change back to a different page then it always refreshes that page. Can it be set to simply go back to that window and keep the page as it was? Pretty sure it doesn't work like that on the iPhone

Thanks for that - will go take a look. I assume it's gonna be another app to sneak memory - which looks to be why the page refreshes in the first place. I'd struggle to believe it's a memory thing - my iPad is only hours old, has sync'd once, has very few apps, no music or videos but the refresh was the first thing I noticed about using Safari on the iPad.
The memory being talked about is actually RAM memory of which all iPad models have 256 MBs. This is not referring to the flash memory size which varies between models, e.g. 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB. Applications use RAM memory to run in while flash memory is used more like a hard drive.
However, I believe that it's not exactly the 256 MB RAM size that causes Safari to reload pages but rather the strategy it uses to manage memory utilization. It has been reported that some of the other browsers available on the iPad are much better at not reloading pages. You should check them out if this is a problem for you.

I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

Stop safari from refreshing every page i go back to

Is there a way to prevent safari from refreshing every page i go back to in my browsing history? what is the point of having a cache if safari is going to refresh every page anyway?
i dont mean dated stuff like 2 weeks ago, i mean every page.
i swipe and have to wait while safari refreshes, then swipe back again, wait for the refresh and repeat this. if i quickly swipe back 4 pages, the 4th page back will appear for a second, then the 1st page re-appears cos it is fully refreshed.
i thought it was just on Facebook that this happened on, but it is on most pages including google searches and this forum.
very annoying behaviour.

I am part of a web marketing company and we discovered a very heavy aggravation on top of all the above described annoyances of the refreshing process of safari on iPhone and iPad.
If the page in refreshing process it was after a direct click on a google "pay per click add", then safari it would re-emulate the click on the google add as well, who will charge the customer for what it looks like a legitimate click !!!!!
Now my customer put me in charge to collect all the company server's logs and analyse them through one by one ... (millions…),
once sufficient data will be available we will start a suing process against apple and google.
Apple, to allow such automatic unconditioned refreshing generating false "pay per click", and Google for charging the customer for illegal clicks. Keep in mind that we receive from 500 to 600 clicks per day at a CPC min £1.90 to max £6.80 depends from competitors biddings, the highest percentage of clicks its about CPC £3.10, making the company spending easily £3,000 per day.
in the last 7 days we already discovered that about 10% of the clicks are repetitive from iPhone and iPad refreshing their safari cache, making spend the company about £ 2,000 per week in false clicks. we are also trying to discover when was this process generally started, ie if its been going on for a year, we are talking of some good (£2000 * 52) £100,000 plus our work to investigate.
I am a big fan of iPhone, and I hope some apple technician will read this message and take action ASAP, because in the next 3-4 weeks, once our investigation its done, all the info and server logs will be publicised on the web … with unfortunate financial consequences …

Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?

I'm on a Mac OSX 10.5.8 on Safari. Each time I first want to open a PDF, my Safari crashes. The note says, "Problem caused by Acrobat plug-in". After relaunching Safari I can open PDF files. Help?

Hey thanks for responding so quickly! I've downloaded AppDelete
Forgive my ignorance - what is Reader X app and how can I find it?

Subject: Adobe Reader Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?
One of the things I have loved about Macs since switching in 2003 is:
They tell you what went wrong when something does.
The Acrobat plugin is corrupted.
Solution:
Download a trial of AppDelete. Install it and open it.
Drag the Reader X app to the window.
Delete everything it finds associated with Reader X and empty the trash. Re-download Reader X and re-install it.
It will install new support and preference files and plugins. and things should go more smoothly.

In application builder the top level vi is always set to "run when opened"; how do I turn this off so I don't have to change it each and every time I build a .exe??

I build a lot of executables using Application Builder under LabVIEW and in every one I build, I don't want the top level vi to take off and run when I open the executable. Currently, I edit each .exe I build within Application Builder and change the option of "run when opened" from Yes to No for the top level vi. All the other subvi's are already set to No. It would seem as though there should be some way to "turn this off" if you will so the top level vi is not always set to "run when opened" by default within Application Builder. Is there such a solution that anyone knows of?? Any help would be apprec
iated... thanks...

Indeed the Application builder forces "run when opened" to true for top levels VIs. If you don't want your VI to make any real work when the application starts, you should simply put a do-nothing loop in the beginning of the VI that will loop until the user presses a boolean. It will be more intuitive for users to press a Run button on the FP than clicking on the white Run arrow in the bar.

How to Refresh The Page When The Value of selectinputData Changes

Hi;
I have a select input date component and I want to refresh the page when the value of selectinputdate changes. What is the way to do it?
Also what is the way to do the same thing with choosedate component?
Thank you very much...

Hi Turhan,
You may want to read about the Partial Page Refresh (PPR) capabilities in ADF Faces. You can make the selectInputDate's partialSubmit property "true" and then cause the specific components you wish refreshed have their partialTriggers property set to the ID of the selectInputDate.
Hope this helps,
John

When I open safari on my iPad, the old pages are opening, is there a solution to have always the same page when starting safari?

When I open safari on my iPad, the old pages are opening, is there a solution to have always the same new page when starting safari?

THX Carolyn, I have do it, but it was the case before, without doing this.

Why does Safari refresh the page when using the back button?

Safari didn't use to do this.
Even on these forums, when you hit the back button to go back exactly where you were at, if there are new posts, the entire page may have changed. I knew exactly the next post I wanted to look at before the page was refreshed. Now, I can't even find the post I wanted to read unless I scroll through the entire list again.
I need to be able to go back to the page I was just on and not have it refresh.
I need to go back exactly where I was.
Safari can't even go back properly as it wants to go back near the top of the last page I was on.
I need it to go back exactly where I was at.
I have no idea what the engineers are thinking about this one.
FireFox works properly when going back to the prior page.
I have long lists on pages I work with.
For example:
1. through 1,000.
If I am on reference number 500 on the previous page, when I hit back, it goes all the way back up to around 20 in the list.
I have to then scroll manually page down to 500 where I was at.
This is tedious, cumbersome and unnessesary.
Safari was much better before it was updated to this horrible behavior.
I don't know of any preferences you can change to change this odd behavior.
Anyone know of anyway to stop this horrible behavior in Safari?
This is like reading a book, but when you go back a page, the entire page may have changed and I have no idea where I was at.
Pretty $iss poor in my opinion.

Yes, that is correct.
However, you can also use the mouse or trackpad to swipe back a page and it still refreshes the last page.
Safari never did this back in Snow Leopard and maybe some versions of Safari in Lion.
However, Safari in Mountain Lion always does this.
It is very cumbersome using the "open link in new window" or "open link in new tab".
It was much better just being able to click the back button or swiping to get back exactly where you were on the prior page.
Hopefully more people will send Apple feedback on this.
Thanks for sharing.

Firefox was a good, but now it's slow and when I search google I have to refresh the page when I click the back button. This is driving me to other browsers.

When searching in goole, If I click on a link and want to go back a page firefox does not load the previous google search without refreshing the page. Because I use google frequently this is very annoying. Firefox has also been freezing and crashing most frequently of any of the other browsers that I have been driven to use. I'm not sure why I should keep it on my computer at this point.

Regarding the Google results page blanking out when you go back, this occurs when using a combination of three settings, which may be fairly common:
* Zoom level higher than two steps (120%; the newest versions of Windows apparently default to 125%, which Firefox detects and adopts)
* Google search set to instant prediction results (default on Google search, but can be disabled in Search settings, see [https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186610 Google Instant Search Help])
* Opening results in the same tab, then using the Back button to return to the results page (default on Google search, but can be changed in Search settings to open results in a new window/tab, see [https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/425 Google Search Help])
Firefox's cache feature attempts to maximize speed for forward and back actions by storing the last rendering of the page. Something about the instant prediction results ''with zoom'' is causing Firefox to briefly display the results and then they blank out and you have to reload the page to get them back. The mystery is why this only occurs (so far as I have heard) on Google? Is one of Google's scripts blanking out the page? Does Google care that it's messing up Firefox users?
For now, if you do not want to or cannot change any one of the three factors needed to experience this problem, you can disable the storage of the last rendering of the page. Then Firefox will skip the shortcut and lay it out fresh, which is known to work. As noted in earlier posts, you make this change using the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered.
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers''' preference and change it to 0 (that's a zero).
This thread has a lengthy discussion: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863 When I go back to Google search results page, it takes me to a blank Google screen].

Help Please - Pdf shows/ reads some white pages when opened by some people

I have made a pdf book of my artworks ( on a mac) and have a major problem. When I send it out, some people are able to read everything but others get a couple of white blank pages when they view the pdf online or download it or sometimes only either one. It seems to always be the pages that are just black and white...
However when i try to open the same file i sent them but on my computer at home( MAC) or at work(PC), it works fine.
But on my Iphone, i get the same problem as these people with the same pages turning blank...
All Pages of the book were made in photoshop. I saved them as pdf individually before combining everything to a pdf book and i had this problem. Then I tries to save all in jpg and then convert and combine them to a pdf book, still get the same problem.... Some people get white pages....
Help much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Change Blank Page when opening New Tab

Is there anyway in Safari 3 to change the blank page that opens when starting a new tab? Anyway to change it to Google or any page you like?

I don't believe this is possible, but even if it were, setting it to Google would be pointless, since you can already do a Google search from the browser search bar.
You can suggest this as a feature to Apple if you like here: Mac OS X Feedback

Office 2008 produces only blank page when opening files

Under Lion, Microsoft Office 2008 products -- specifically Word and Excel -- will produce only "blank" pages when I open files I saved before I upgraded to Lion. These are valid files which will open using Windows, or even using Preview.
I put "blank" in quotes because the content is still there. It is displayed, however, using the background color --- no matter what I set the foreground text color to, or highlight the background, it will never display my text! So the default seems to be white text on a white background. Setting the foreground text color to red or blue will have no effect; it will still be white.
A workaround I'm currently using is to open the files in TextEdit, "Select All", copy & then paste into a new Word document, but the formatting doesn't always carry over.
I posted a message on a Microsoft site and they said (go figure) "it's an Apple problem, not a problem with the software."
Anyone else having this problem?
How/when can it be fixed?

I saw another post regarding font mismatches and I've learned that that is the problem in this case!
If I open any of the documents I was having trouble with, do select-all, and then change the FONT (not the style, not the color) -- e.g. to Times, or Times New Roman -- suddenly all my text appears!

Multiple error pages when opening websites

When I am navigating through web sites when I click on something several new tabs open saying "trouble loading page". After I close all of them the page I was trying to get is open.

I strongly suspect you have a version problem.
The current Pages version for your iPad is 2.2.1. Hopefully you are using that version.
Presumably you are trying to access this document using Pages on your Mac. But your Mac's OS X version is likely too old to use the current Pages, which is 5.2.
The way around this would be to use Pages from iCloud via Safari on your Mac. Navigate to http://www.icloud.com on your Mac, find Pages there, open it, and access your document through the cloud.

Safari 5.1 reloads page when using back button or gesture

Safari has the strange behavior of reloading pages "navigated to" using the back button or gesture. Most other browsers I've worked with pull from cache when using the back button. I don't think this behavior is compliant with standards - defacto as they may be.
An example of why this is wrong is the navigation of this forum. I just loaded Lion and need to use the forum for support. When navigating back from a particular post to the list of posts the page will reload. Needless to say several hundred posts have been entered since last looking at the list and I subsequently lose the context of what I read last. The list of posts from cache which I orginally looked at should be returned - not the latest updated one. Let me choose when to refresh a page from the cache.
I downloaded Google Chrome to compare behaviors. Chrome does not reload pages navigated to using the back button - it pulls the pages from cache.
I've looked at the configuration of Safari and see no options to configure this behavior.

Switch from one finger swipe to two finger swipe
ok, since i do not have a trackpad, i used my magic mouse. I changed my swipe between pages from one finger to two and my pages no longer re-loaded. Changing that option back to one finger swipe then set my pages to re-load our setting are slightly differnt, but were looking for the same outcome. Lood for a "Swipe between pages option. Then look for a drop down triangle. now change your swipe left or right with two fingers to one. this should re-load your pages now ;-)
