Safari black screen; Firefox OK
The "black screen" posts are old, but nothing I read applies. [My Safari works with kuler.adobe.com, as discussed on old posts] I fixed some things that were flagged on Browser compatibility (old browsers) and did validation tests, and the page in question just passed. I'm using Mac 10.6 (Intel) and Safari 4.0.3. My background colors are black, but I doubt that's the cause of a totally black screen. Safari has some "developers' tools, but nothing made any difference.
The page I'm looking at (or trying to look at) is http://www.jfigueras.com/newsite/addedpage.html
This is an html version of my template. The links will not work because I've not uploaded the linked pages.
All ideas welcome. Joann
Thanks for checking and for sending me in the right direction. Although this computer is about a month old and came with software, it apparently has the wrong Safari and needs a system update. I won't be in a place to do the system update till next week (update time here: 15 hours). Then I can install the updated Safari and hope the black screen is gone. Very good news that you saw the html on your browsers.
I used your http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/, which found things not found by http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input
... now if I could get my links to keep the colors assigned in their classes, I would be near the end.
Thank you, Joann

Safari Black Screen of pdf pages
How can I open pdf files with Safari 5.1.8 and not get a black screen?
I'm searching for an answer to this as well. The PDF is actually there, so if you control-click or right-click you can download the pdf and open it in Acrobat or Preview.

Safari black screen and no letters when typing
I have just purchased my first iPhone, the 16 gig 3GS and having issues with it. I immediately updated the firmware to the 3.1.2 when I got home and never really played with it upon initial purchase so I do not have anything to determine what exactly is the issue. Here is are my problems...
Note: I did not back up the phone prior to updating the firmware.
Letters typed, whether in text messages, contact information, the search bar... do not show up. The cursor moves and the letters are "there", but on the screen it is still empty. I do get numbers in the keypad when dialing. Upon restoring the phone at one point, the letters started showing up, then after opening safari, they disappeared, which brings me to my next issue...
Safari and other internet browsers, they all seem to load a page, but the only thing you see is a black screen and a black scroll bar where the web page should load. I have tried two other browsers and met with the same result.
I have attempted to restore the phone on two separate computers multiple times. I deleted all back ups, redownloaded the update to make sure that nothing was corrupt, reinstalled itunes twice and hard reset the phone as well multiple times.
Still, there are no letters showing up and the browser screens remain black.
Is anyone else dealing with this issue? Any constructive advice or solving techniques would be very helpful. Being my first iphone, please be patient if I do not understand exactly what you are saying.Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back -
In loading a page in Safari on the iPad, the screen went black. It was as if you had gone fullscreen with nothing to be displayed. I tried the finger motions for shrinking it down, clearing History, Cookies, and Cache, and nothing is restoring it. Rotating the screen will display an address bar, but only during the rotation animation. Once screen is positioned, it disappears again. It won't load any other sites, and I'm out of ideas.
Anyone?
Thanks.Hold down the home and sleep keys until the iPad reboots. See if you still have any issue.

My macbookpro is not opening pdf sites from safari or firefox, it goes to the address but just gives me a black screen. I can however open a pdf file that I have saved on my HD, it opens on preview. any thoughts? osx 10.6.8
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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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. -
New iMac running 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.3. Can't download most files (even pdf) or applications. Get a full black screen and no download. Can successfully download the same files using FireFox. Have tried all the usual stuff--resetting Safari, etc. Any help?
From the Safari menu bar, select

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 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. -

Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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. -
Hi
Re Mac intel... Firefox updated to 3.6.14 and advised Flash 10 be installed. I did this and now on YouTube videos all I see is a black screen with no play or pause button. System is OS X10.4.11
Do I need to uninstall Firefox and re load an earlier version and an earlier version of Flash etc... will I lose my bookmarks and firebug? If so not worth it.
Would really appreciate help so sad not to be able to view any YouTube. Many thanks, ClareHi again - since writing the above I have posted on Adobe>Webplayer>Flash forum the following request and will post on here if I receive a reply that works:
Firefox updated to 3.6.14 and then advised Flash 10 be installed. I did this and now on YouTube videos all I see is a black screen with no play or pause button. System is OS X10.4.11 Have now followed Adobe instructions to Uninstall Flash player on system and then Install Flash 10. But still at YouTube Safari says Flash 10 is needed and in FF shows a black box only. I use Intego virus barrier but this has never blocked an update before. Flash is enabled in Firefox and Safari.
eldnolb at Adobe forum advised: Go to this site and right click on the Flash logo, Settings, Display Settings. UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But when I go to this page no logo appeared for me to right click on, which again means that Flash player is not working... so I could not access Settings, Display Settings, Uncheck etc. Was advised to start a new Mac entitled thread. Clare -
When Firefox is opened, nothing shows up but a black screen and the program is not responding. How can I repair this?
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
