Safari auto reload

Every time I move between tabs on safari on my ipad, the page auto reloads. How do I disable this feature. Extremely frustrating because of reload when out of wifi zone, I waste time reloading on slow 3G networks and it also increases my bandwidth consumption. Kindly help with very annoying feature

It's even worse than that. When it reloads, if you were typing data in a form, such as the reply that I'm writing Right Now, Safari wipes out all your input and you get to start from scratch. That means you can't switch between browser tabs to research whatever it is you are typing.
It wouldn't even be that hard. Most such things are fairly simple HTML "forms", all it would need to do is store the content of those "form" fields when you tab away. So if it had to reload, it could repopulate your entered data from that. Forms are very simple, just any number of pairs of {fieldname, fieldcontent}. For instance the fieldname might be "Text" and the fieldcontent might be what you are reading right now. Preserving the state of this form I am entering here would take less than 1 kilobyte (0.001 megabytes).

Safari 5.1 strange auto-reloading behavior for tabs in the background

hi guys.
I have been encountering this strange behavior recently. I had thought it could be something wrong with my system, until yesterday i upgraded my Safari for Windows to the v.5.1 on a Windows XP laptop, and found the same issue. Now i guess I can be quite certain this is a safari issue.
System info:
1. Macbook Pro 17", OSX 10.6.8, 64bit boot (i have 8GB RAM).
2. Safari (Mac) is the lastest version (as updated by the Auto update), run in the default 64bit mode.
3. The windows machine is an old Thinkpad T60 with Windows XP Pro SP3. The Safari for windows is Safari 5.1 (7534.50), also updated by auto update.
4. I have not installed any Safari extensions/plugs that feature an auto-reloading -- as such behavior was never seen before i upgrade to Safari 5.1
Since i mostly work on mac the mac has been kept most updated. But the windows machine which i use now and then, i don't update everything very frequently. And the earlier Safari 5.0 worked fine without the current issue.
Symptoms
1. Let's say I have 1 Safari window open with 5 tabs, and I have been working on the 4th tab for a while, and left the other 4 tabs "idling" in the background.
2. And then i want to switch to another tab: click on that tab, and that tab will come to the foreground while being automatically refreshed.
3. It looks to me this behavior happens after the inactive tabs have been idling longer than a certain period of time - then if you switch to them, they will be switched to and in the same time auto-reloaded. But I still don't know how long it needs for the "idling" before an auto-reloading "threshold" is triggered.
4. In the beginning this was just on the Mac Safari (and i hadn't updated safari on the windows). But after I updated safari for WIN yesterday, i found the same behavior today.
5. I checked all the Preferences settings and didnt find any option that indicates this behaviors.
Guys. any ideas? anyone have the same trouble? Thanks a lot guys. This is really annoying.

I'm running Safari 5.1 / SL v10.6.8 on one Mac with Glims installed and I never have a problem with tabs auto reloading. You might want to give it a try.
It's free!

Once the software is installed you can access the settings from Safari / Preferences - Glims.
If you don't like the software you can use their uninstaller here.
Hi Carolyn thanks a lot for the idea.
The weird thing is... after i tried to uninstall and re-install a few apps the "auto-loading" behavior disappeared ... guess something was interfereing with safari 5.1...
But thanks for recommending Glims. I took a quick look at the website and it looks great. will do some more research before i start using it. Thanks for the recomm!

Safari - page auto reloading when switching panes

So far, I love the iPad. However, my first complaint is hen I switch between web page panes. For instance, I am trying to fill out a form on one, but need to grab some info off another page. When i switch back, Safari automatically, reloads the page and clears any information I might have had filled out. This is very counter productive, not to mention, very annoying. Especially, if the page has a lot of pictures, etc.... Anyone having the same problem?

This is a complaint in every iPad forum I've seen (like one at MacRumors). Seems it's due to the only 256mb of RAM in the iPad. Heavily graphic pages use up memory. Opening another heavy graphic page might require that the other one surrender its memory. Thus it needs to reload when it comes back. It's very annoying. I'm sure future iPad's will have more RAM memory, but I doubt there will be any easy way or even possible way to upgrade RAM on our debut models.

Im running a web-based CMS, that cycles through a number of pages, and wanted to know if there is an auto reload code option ( not plug-in ) that can restart previous page when connection failed.

I am running a web-based CMS that cycles through a number of pages, each for different times ( ranging from 40 seconds to 2 minutes )and is displayed in a number of shops. Every now and then our internet drops, and the page errors with connection failed. I’m wondering if there is anyway to auto reload the page as soon as the error connection failed is showing. auto-reload addon is not an option as this will interrupt the sequence.
The following error was encountered: 
 
<ul><li>Connection Failed</li></ul>

I want to allow redirects but not auto-reloading

I'm running Yosemite on a Mac Air, with fully-updated everything.
I'd like to stop pages reloading without my permission. This is usually an issue for me on news sites.
In FF preferences, the option to allow or disallow auto-reloading is tied to the option to redirect. I can allow or disallow both, but not allow one and not the other.
The net effect is, my news sites aren't automatically refreshing (yay), but other sites get stuck when a page redirect comes up. I play Scrabble online; now I have to manually allow a redirect with every play. Same with following Twitter links.
Is there some way to kill off the auto-reloads while still allowing redirects? Maybe a whitelist for redirects, as a secondary option?
Thanks!

I do not know if the browser can tell the difference because it depends on the DNS server to give redirect requests back to the browser. Actually it does, 301 or 302 vs new http get request.... anyway:
I found this add on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/refreshblocker/ Refresh Blocker] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noredirect/?src=search No Redirect] which both let you control what sites to allow if there are only a few sites.
This would only be a temporary work around however.

IOS8 iPad Air (A7) Safari Auto-fill slows text entry down

iPad Air (A7)
iOS8
64GB
I am entering text into the following site (renew a subscription): http://oracle-sub.halldata.com/site/ORA000401OCrenew/init.do?{removed http query params}
Safari auto text is severely slowing text entry (the suggested text at the bottom of the screen is cool, but seems to cause a drag)
Aside from turning this nifty feature off, iOS8 safari seems it needs to be tuned to work properly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Why won't Safari auto-fill work most of the time?

Safari Auto-fill sends me a note it can't fill because the info doesn't match--but it does match. Won't even fill in address, etc. Happens about 60% of the time. Thank you!

Hi cmate;
You might have better luck with your Safari question if you posted it over in the Safari forum.

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.

Premiere doesn't auto reload footage.

Premiere Pro CC on OSX...
I am rendering out various 3d files from cinema 4D as a PNG image sequences and I am making small changes and re-rendering them. Premiere however does not auto reload them. I have to do the replace footage to clear the cache and bring them in.
I know After effects does this properly now, but is this a premiere bug/quirk/lack of functionality? Or Is this just me?

When I right-click on a file from the bin and select "Reveal in Finder," the correct file is shown. When double-click on a file, the source monitor shows the correct clip. The same goes for when a file is selected from the timeline. However, since the in and out points have been moved to a point after the clip is over, there is no video to display. So what I am wondering is: how did the in and out points get shifted, and if there is a way to fix it all at once, rather than manually changing each clip.

Safari auto closing/shutdown

Hi is anyone else experiencing their safari auto closing/shutdown during use? I looks around and saw it may be a memory thing but safari is all that's running and I have the 30gb iPad gen3 with over 10gb available. Any help would be great

HKWOY-
Your symptoms sound more serious, as if there was an internal electrical problem with your iPad. I suggest you show it to an Apple Store Genius. If the Genius can not fix it, you may get a replacement iPad.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>

Why safari auto refresh

imac
lion:10.7.2
safari:5.1.1
the safari auto refresh all the pages sometimes.how so solve the problem?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been away for several days.
A shareware program is one that you can try out before you buy it to see if you like it and if it will do what you need it to do. If you decide to keep using the program, then you are expected to pay for it. Most shareware have nominal prices. As I remember, PithHelmet costs US$10.00.

Safari constantly reloading?

Does anyone know if there's a way to suppress Safari from reloading pages? Given EDGE speeds, I typically load the pages I want and then read them over the course of a few hours.
Unfortunately, coming back into Safari after some period of time, each page attempts to reload, defeating the purpose. This is especially frustrating if I have a set of Bloglines articles open, which have now all become "read". Perhaps there is a bookmarklet with Javascript which might turn off the reload?
Any ideas are welcome.

No, there is no option in Safari to do that. I would suggest letting Apple know by going here:

Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
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 all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
