Safari blank page or loading for ages and then timeout!

Hi, this is my first topic so please any reply would be much appreciated. I had a week holiday when my Mac was switched off. Before that I havent noticed any problem with it, everything was working fine and fast. I came back on the 1st, had some updates installed on the 2nd and since then I barely can search the web. The pages loading for ages, after that sometimes get info that Im not connected to the web or timeout or the server doesnt respond to that website. BUT my Skype is still fine I even had a two way video call and was perfectly working. 1st I thought it was Safari so I downloaded Mozzilla but I had the same issue with that. Sometimes Safari works ok for a while and then all of a sudden just try to go to another page from what I used and was ok and that new page just doesnt load. I emptied the cache, I reset Safari and after that my topsites never work again. Well not never but once I used something from there I will not be able to go back and use another one. Since the reset I cant even see all the icons in my TOPSites. This problem is killing me now, dont really now what to do, this is my first Mac and I bought it last october. Still have plenty to learn.
My Safari version is 4.0.5.
thanks

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Since you have already emptied the cache and reset Safari...
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. *Make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*


Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the addrMss bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If you still have problems with Safari, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • Why does my battery stay at 100% for ages and then plummet at 100mph?

    Since I updated to iOS7 my battery meter stays at 100% every bit as long as it did on iOS6 but then once it starts falling it really speeds up. The first 10% go fairly slowly, the second 10% falls even quicker and it continues in this vein. The last 10% is over in a flash. I have calibrated my battery six or seven times in succession and my battery meter always drops to 1%, it never switches off earlier than it should but I just don't understand this non-linear battery meter reading. It never used to act like this in iOS6.

    I had this problem over the weekend. It's very annoying.
    Anyway, I read your posts and some others and the only thing that's changed on my phone since I was last abroad and didn't have this problem is that I enabled MobileMe to track the location of my phone.
    Makes sense.
    The app is constantly trying to update apple with the whereabouts of the phone. With data roaming turned off, it can't do it, so tries and tries again and the phone never gets into standby. Make a wifi connection and it's fine for a few hours as it can update the location, but next time it tries if you're off the wifi it'll frantically try again.
    This also explains why it doesn't have the problem if data roaming is left on, as it can carry on reporting location as usual (at your expense).
    Also, because you configure it in the mail account settings, that explains why you get the message about data roaming being turned off every time you look at your messages.
    Try removing the MobileMe account from your phone - you'll see the battery drain goes back to normal.
    Apple should fix this bug - they just need to change the app so it checks whether data roaming is turned on or not before updating location. Maybe a message saying MobileMe needs data roaming turned on to work abroad, or maybe it could just check if it's enabled and if not, don't try to make the connection until the phone is no longer roaming. The problem is if your phone is stolen and goes abroad, without MobileMe doing what it's supposed to be doing your data is compromised and you won't have the cool remote erasing functionality etc.
    Oh well!

    Hello katyhale,
    I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store and using a Windows computer, I recommend reviewing this article:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    If you are still not able to access the store, I recommend the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • 2 pages not loading on phone and tablet

    Not all pages work on phone and tablet for my website... thegreatlifecookbook.com
    The desktop layout correctly loads on the phone and tablet, but the buy now page and the cookbook page are blank.
    No problems with the site on the computer.
    Have any ideas? Thanks so much....////Julie

    It appears you created Tablet and Phone layouts in the Muse Plan mode, but never put any content on the pages, and then published. Thus when you visit your home page on a desktop device you get the desktop layout (which appears correct) but when you visit from a phone or tablet you get the Tablet or Phone layout from the Muse plan view. Those are blank.
    You'll want to Page > Remove Alternate Layout for the Tablet and Phone layouts in Muse and re-publish, so your site is no longer re-directing to blank pages when loaded on a Tablet or Phone.
    In the future if/when you create a complete Phone or Tablet layout and re-publish, your site visitors will automatically be directed to the layout appropriate to their device (and it won't be blank since you will have created a device specific alternate layout).

  • Google browser in "go to" option shows blank page upon loading.

    Hello there, I am a newbie in the blackberry world. I just got mine, Bold 9700 for my engagement present. I am using it for about a week form. I am Malaysian and I am using the DiGi carrier. At first everything going smoothly, web browsing is excellent. I downloaded some great application mainly form google mobile, such as google maps, google for mobile and gmail.
    since last 2 days, I encounter some problem with the web browser. when i tried to search something using the blackberry browser in the "go to" option. I often encounter the blank page, especially using the google browser option. when i turn to yahoo, the browser works well. The blank screen also happen when i tried to type some web address such as wikipedia.org and so on. The blank page still happen. Regarding the "blank page", the loading screen appear when finish loading, the screen leave only blank space. left was only the scroll down bar on the left.
    I tried to solve why it was happening, the google browser in the "go to" option can be functioning when I change the "set encoding". I tried each of the encoding and I found one is functioning (partially). Initially the encoding was in auto and shows the ISO-8859-1. the partially working encoding is ISO-2202-CN. the google was working but the web adress bar encounter the "blank screen" problem.
    I called the service center of my carrier, DiGi. They did guide me to solve the problem. The pull out the battery methods, the changing of the TCP/IP in advance option, the enabling the APN setting. And the last option the guide me was the "security wipe". I did make the back up of my data. After all the instruction followed, I still encounter the problem. More worst, I tried to download the google application again after the "security wipe" the goolgle said my phone number was invalid.
    I still cant figure out what happen with my phone. At first I got the phone, I was really excited and impress with blackberry. After this things happen, I am quite disappointed. Is there anyone out there that could help me?  I love my blackberry..
    regards,
    latifnoh
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there, I solved my problem. It it is not about the connection of the browser, its about the setting of the blackberry, the OS maybe. I called several time (my carrier DiGi) and the solution wasnt there either. so the I thing  it must be my BB is the problem, then I send it back for the warranty service and they "re-format the OS".
    I just got mine back yesterday, and everythings turn back to normal. Everything inside seems a new, like a new BB haha..thank God.
    hope it help!! HAPPY!!

  • When I save a pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf. What's happening?

    When I save a Pages document as a pdf and then try to email the document, it loads as an application octet-stream dat file instead of a pdf and recipients can't open it. Some load correctly, but about half don't load as a pdf. What's happening?

    Hi mjmonck-
    Which email provider are you using? There are different solutions possible for different providers. Yahoo is having trouble with attachments, outside of any Firefox issue. I've seen a Google user fix this by manually adding the mail URL to their ad block program- which mistakenly perceived the webmail page as an advertisement.
    Hope this helps.

  • Have numerous labels with designed borders as background to add name/ subject etc. "New" Pages only loads the names and seems to destroy all the designs when page is opened. Not happy!

    Have numerous (Avery A4 page format) pages of labels with designed borders as background  to add name/ subject (English - Mathematics etc)
    "New" Pages only loads the names and seems to destroy all background border designs when page is opened.
    The borders of each label show in thumbprint but when opened the border has gone. When the page is closed the borders no longer show in the thumbpint.
    When earlier version of Pages is selected to open the labels it says latest version of Pages is needed!
    What a mess up, it seems to be all too clever!!
    Not happy!

    That is what the App Store reviews and ratings are for.
    Let other potential "upgraders" know.
    Meanwhile use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • Delta Loads for 2lis_02_scl and 2lis_02_itm

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing an issue, After initializing the setup tables and doing the init load for 2lis_02_scl and 2lis_02_itm whenever I do the delta loading for these two, all the dataload finish with green status and extracting 0 from 0 records.
    I can see the queues for both these datasources in RSA7 in R/3, yet no record is extracted.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    have a look into transaction smq1. there you should be able to see your extraction queues with the entry MCEX02 (or likewise)
    Please schedule the program RMBWV302 and when this one is finished, start the deltapackage.
