Safari and Facebook Issue

I just bought my first Mac ever and am having issues that I don't have using Firefox on my Vaio. Facebook loads and loads and loads forever when I click on any link. Only half of the images load on a page. It's really annoying. What's going on?

Ok..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Facebook cookies.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go back to Safari / Preferences. You can access Safari Preferences with a keyboard shortcut: Command , (comma)
Select the Extensions tab. If you installed any Extensions, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
And in Safari / Preferences select the Appearance tab. Make sure: *Display images when the page opens* is selected.
And check your Home folder (accessible from a Finder window in the Sidebar on the left). Open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-ins folder. If you installed any Facebook plugins, move them to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If nothing above has helped, Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the *com.apple.Safari folder*. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads a Facebook page correctly, move that .plist file to the Trash. If there's no difference, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
If you setup any Parental Controls (System Preferences / Parental Controls), that could be causing FB to not load.

Safari and Facebook issues since Yosemite upgrade

OSX 10.10
Safari 8.0
Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been having numerous issues on Safari with Facebook, but not on any other website. The issues are:
- Sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) only loads a few posts in my timeline (as few as 4) and then stops
- Sometimes (maybe 50% of the time) a few pictures are not displayed, but only a little question mark
- Sometimes (about 10% of the time) I cannot click any of the links
- Sometimes (about 20%) I get a Failed to Open Page screen with the message Safari cannot establish a secure connection.
I have tried the following:
- Turned off any extensions
- Cleared the History and Cache (as well as moving the cache.db file for Safari into Trash and then restarting Safari)
Neither of these seemed to have any effect. Any ideas what to do next?
If I delete Safari and re-install, is there some way to keep all my bookmarks?

Hi ..
If you delete Safari on a Mac running Yosemite v10.10, there are no standalone downloads to reinstall the app. You would have to restore OS X using OS X Recovery. Better to troubleshoot the currently installed Safari app.
Try OpenDNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
f that doesn't help, try Google's DNS > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

Safari 5.0 and Facebook Issue

Ever since I downloaded 5.0 on my macbook (running leopard 10.5.8) Facebook doesn't work correctly. Only website I've had issues with so far. I can open a few different pages through Facebook then all of a sudden I get a blank page and can't refresh or go back to another Facebook page. I have to wait a few minutes, or quite Safari and reopen. However I can go to another website with no issue without having to relaunch Safari..... Only noticed this issue on Facebook, and only with my laptop running leopard, not my iMac which runs snow leopard.
Any ideas?

I also have the same problem. I'm on the latest version of Snow Leopard and on Safari 5.0 with my Macbook Pro. I have searched around the net and can't find the resolution. I can tried deleting my cookies, quitting safari or restarting my machine and Facebook works fine for a short while but then it reverts back to the blank page and I can't do anything on the page.

Safari and Facebook ; constant disconnects

Hi,
I switched from Google Chrome to Safari Just because safari seems to have many beautiful integrations with Mac OS X Lion
The bad thing is that when I login to facebook, every few minutes I get logged out
Also there is second issue with google when I have more than 8 tabs open, when I try to open a page in new tab from search results in google, Safari Crashes

Do you have cookies enabled under Settings > Safari > Accept Cookies?
EDIT: I am able to log on to the full Facebook site with cookies set to "Always" or "From visited"
If you have cookies set to either of these options, go to Settings > Safari, and clear cookies and cache and start over with your ID/PW

Safari and Facebook walls

Can anyone post on your friends' wall on facebook? The box is missing for sometime now and there is no solution from facebook nor apple.
I loaded the same pages on Firefox and the boxes appeared. And no, it is not a privacy setting issue because the photo strip above the box was missing as well.

Hi Bubbelz
Thanks for your message, but sorry because I have to disappoint you; it doesn't work. I even tried resetting Safari. I thought it was my Adblock, but it wasn't coz i turned it off and facebook is the same.
Does anyone else out there experience this, or is this is this really locallised (me)?
See attached is my best friend's facebook wall on Safari. Noticed there is no photo update and no box to write on the wall. When I open the same page on Firefox, everything shows up as intended.
ughhhhhhhhh

Safari and HughesNet Issues.

Hello fellow Mac users. I am at my wits end. I had a HughesNet system installed 3 weeks ago and want to blow up both my Mac and the dish. I can not get more then 3 pages to load correctly. I have 1 of 3 things happen.
1- Say I am viewing Yahoo then go come to Apples website. It stays on Yahoo but my header bar says Apple. No matter what I do it stays on that first site. I have to end up shutting down Safari and try again.
2- I get half the page loaded then it stops and goes to a totally different page altogether. Very freaky...
3- This is the most common... URL Not Found. I will have to try the site 6-10 times.
I have spent 5 hours with HughesNet Tech support and they say it is my computer and not them. Well it never did it before them but hey stranger things have happened.
Any help? Any ideas? Thank you very much....

Apple's WebKit seems to have issues with satellite connections. Download and try Camino instead. We have HughesNet here and Camino is much more reliable. The description of problems sounds like there may be more to it though. First thing is to try Camino, and see if that solves it. If so, you know it's a software thing with Apple's webkit which Safari uses.

Safari and Mail issues

Since I updated to Lion both my Mail and Safari have not been working well. The majority of the times Safari will not even open for me. Mail will open for me but it will not recieve mail and I will not be able to click anything in Mail (I have to work completely with the arrow buttons).
To get them working again I have to re-start my computer. This shouldn't be an issue with Lion, but I don't know what the fix is.
Anyone know?

No problem. They will not be deleted. And you can always backup first your Home folder. Your Application folder is always the same. You must re-configure Safari and Mail to create new preference files, and your System Preferences folder too. Let's see if this works. As for Safari, you can also download from Apple website.

Safari and Facebook

Anyone else having issues with Facebook chat when using Safari? I keep getting an error message that i have to click "ok" for before being able to respond to the message. And sometimes it freezes up...I'm tempted to just switch back to Mozilla...this is killing me.

same for me but sometimes!

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable. This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

HT1430 Possible virus on safari and facebook?

I may have a virus on iPad can't connect to Facebook at home and when on safari some sites are interfered with how can I clean the iPad up?

Clearing your browser cache would do nothing against a virus.
There are no viruses for iOS.
What happens is a website is either shady or has been hacked so they place a cookie in your browser.
Your browser then keeps displaying a pop up or taking you to a site you don't want.
Clearing your cache gets rid of it.
It's annoying and inconvenient but it's not a virus.

Iphone Safari and Facebook

When I view walls on Facebook using Safari, they are blank, I'm not able to see any postings. I am able to view them if I use an app like Journey to log into Facebook, but Safari is my preference. I saw on a Facebook other people are having this issue, but not much help there in resolving the issue.

I am finding the same, all the current postings are missing in the middle of my facebook page via Facebook.
I use this as i can claim all the varying Farmwille, Petville items etc, something the App does not let you do! The app gives you a watered down version of Facebook where many elements are missing!

Blackberry Curve and Facebook issues

I'm sure I'm not the only one...but I've finally decided to come here to see if anyone has an answer or solution to this problem.
I will post something via computer to my facebook page and then when I'm away from my computer I might get a response to a posting. I will then use my blackberry curve to send a response. Most of the time it works just fine...but there are times (these are the ones I'm trying to figure what's going on and what the solution is) where the response I send goes through just fine but once it hits facebook two issues happen:
1. This appears on my message on Facebook Ô when this happens it splits up the message into two seperate messages. I only see this on line.
2. when I view my Facebook page on my phone I get this message "Error encounterd during XML parse: Invalid character '&#x5' encountered. This pertty much prevents me from going any further down that particular posting on Facebook when looking on my phone.
What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
