Safari browser - wont respond to clicked on links - any

this is an occasional problem, not a FT one.... wish I had more detail to give around this issue but it usually alleviates by restarting the device.
The link could be anywhere, on any site, and sometimes the actual URL will flash by, but Safari doesnt load the page when asked to.
Tried:
a. clear history
b. clear cookies
c. clear cache
my 8Gb iPhone is at version 1.1.2 (3B48b) if this helps, 783 Mb free.
by the way - this phenomenom seems to occur with either a WIFI or Edge connection....
Anybody else seen this behavior ?

Great Troubleshooting steps so far Chris. I would like to add a couple other suggestions.
1. Make sure the screen is nice and clean and hands are clean Sounds funny but at times slippery fingers can cause iPhone not to respond. May not be the case for you but just adding this in.
2. Reset Network Settings, Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings, Confirm, Test Safari again.
3. Restore iPhone to eliminate any possible iphone OS issues.
If you find even after a restore this is still happening. Jot down how often it happens, Can it be reproduced on the fly, and or is it random.

When I log into hotmail, apple suggests thatI upgrade my browser, but when I click the link to so, apple just sends me a stream of promo copy and no means of requesting the upgrade.

Hello lowellrich,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you are getting a pop-up message that you need to upgrade your internet browser. Likely this is an advertisement, as any updates to Safari are done through the software update in the App Store. I'd like you to please check your preferences to ensure pop-ups are being blocked, and to also clear out the Safari data on your Mac.

Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

What version of Windows and Office is it? I had this issue with an older version of office and Windows XP. Basically, MS are using their browser (IE) because it's their software (MS Office). If you go to options in MS word though, you should be able to find an option to set the default browser to open links.

I want to set WATERFOX as my default browser but if I click a link Firefox starts instead...HELP

I have set (in Waterfox) Waterfox as my default web browser but if I click a link on an e-mail or even on a site while using Waterfox my Firefox starts to load the link as tho it is the default. :(

You may need to check the related registry keys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to verify that they link to Waterfox.
Also make sure that Firefox isn't running in case the Waterfox startup code detects an open Firefox instance and uses that.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

JavaSE6 update 24 doesn't respond when clicking on link, using FF4.

When clicking on a link in a web page that calls java, nothing happens. Using Windows 7.

Were you able to fix this issue or find a solution?. I am also trying to open an ICS file from a WebApp installed as a shortcut on the home screen and it doesn't work. It works well when I try to open it from the site running in the Safari Browser.
Thanks.

HELP! My iMac wont respond to install disc or any commands

I know I'm taking a trip in the "Way back" machine. But I'm pretty resourseful and haven't been able to find my problem. Either I need a Mac super genius or it’s something stupid simple that I’m overlooking.
Specs:
iMac G4 Serial# XXXXXXXX Sep. 2003 – July 2004
1.25GHZ/ 256MB/ 80GB 17” Screen
PowerPC 7445
History: I bought this used with the computer’s monitor backlight out. I could still barely see the sign-in page when I looked at a certain angle, so that was an indicator to me that the OS was working. So I replaced the monitor. At the same time because of owner exchange I had to replace the hard drive with a fully wiped blank one (Deskstar ATA/IDE). I purchased an install disc set 10.4.8, which according to Apple this computer is compatible with 10.2.3 thru10.5.8.
Problem: After reassembly, the replacement monitor works fine. But the system won’t respond to anything. All I get is the gray screen with the apple smiley face folder that alternates with a question mark. It won’t respond to the install disc, or any commands for that matter. Of course I double, triple, and quadruple checked my connections from reassmebling. Here’s what I’ve attempted, all ending up with the same screen display.
During power-up
C (…of     course to boot from the install disc. It just ejects the disc after about     30 seconds)
CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DEL
D (wont     respond to hardware test)
CMD-S     (won’t go into single user mode. It just goes to the same gray screen)
OPT (this     is the only way I get a different screen. It shows the recycle page symbol     and continue symbol. It will recycle the OPT process to stay on this     screen, but it won’t continue if I press that selection – nothing happens
I’ve reset the PRAM
I’ve tried different keyboards (all Apple)
I’ve tried plugging the keyboard into different USB slots
I’ve replaced the Hard Drive with yet another just in case. I’ve tried alternate jumper settings on the hard drive. The original wasset to “Cable”, so I set it to that. But I also tried “Master” jumper settings– no change in results. I can’t say for certain that I hear the DVD/CD drive spin up. But I figure even if I had a bad install disc or bad optical drive, I should still be able to get to the black screen single user mode, yes? So I’m at my wits end. Can any of you Mac geniuses out there please help me? Thanks
<edited by Host>

Install discs are specific to the machine they came with. You cannot use them on any other machine, so the ones you bought are useless. Buy a retail black faced copy of either Tiger or Leopard and you should be able to boot your machine, you need to format the drive as Mac OS extended (Journaled) when you first boot from the new retail disc.
I have also asked that your serial number be removed, it's not a good idea to post it.

Safari 6.1 crashing when clicking on links (window.close script?)

Hi,
I am running Safari 6.1 on my MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Version 10.7.5.
I have Glims and AdBlock Plus installed to keep any advertisments to a minimum.
Since yesterday, Safari keeps crashing whenever clicking on a hyperlink in a webpage, any webpage.
It occurs almost every third time that I click on a link, or in a form e.g. to enter an email address.
First it will open an Untitled tab, and then a popup window which has the following string in the URL bar:
data:text/html,<script>window.close()</script>
Either Safari completely crashes, or I can click back into the main window to delete the "Untitled" tab and continue web browsing.
No matter what it is extremely bothersome.
I do not understand what is occuring.
The only thing I can think of, is that during yesterday I sent an infuriating letter to Google in regards to being force fed their Google+ social network, just so I could use an email account (and my YouTube account which they hijacked). I was also rather annoyed at their automatic categorisation (which would mess up my organisation) which I could not delete or remove despite what I did. I deserted their email by settinng a filter to forward all my email to another email account provider and delete Gmail's copy.
Is it possible that Google has retaliated by infecting my computer with a virus? I know that's a rather slanderous claim, but I just find it quite a coincidence for the altercation to occur and then on the same day, have this problem occuring in my Apple web browser on an Apple computer.
I was so offended that I was rather coarse-tongued with my words, so I wonder if they thought themselves clever and nerdy to cause a disruption in this way.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

First, even if Google could manage to infect your machine with malware of some kind, why do you think they would care one bit about your letter? I'm sure they get thousands of angry letters per day. I doubt they even read them all.
As for the issue, that's probably actually caused by Glims. You say you have installed it to keep ads to a minimum, but the latest version of Glims includes its own ads by default, and has been known to malfunction exactly as you describe. I would recommend removing it. Use the Glims uninstaller.

Firefox wont let my mouse click on the top part of a web page it wont let the mouse curso recognize a link and wont let me click on links in about the top 2" of a web page

if I am looking at a webpage doesnt matter which one and I move the cursor to a link in the top 2" or so of the page it will not recognize that it is a link and let me click on it the cursor stays just as the arrow and doesnt switch to the hand to let me click and open the link

that was it I somehow figured it out right after I posted the question up here all I did was right click on the gray part of the tool bar and unchecked yahoo so it wouldn't show up thanks for the help.

Safari 1.3.2 won't download files when I click on links

I've been having an issue with my computer. When I'm logged in my account in my 1.8GHZ IMAC POWERPC G5, safari 1.3.2 I click on links such as on apple Iworks 30 day trial download, or to download the Mozilla Firefox webbrowser and it says it downloaded the file, however no download window opened up nor did it download anything. This apparently only happens on my account. If another user logs in my computer under their user account they can download everything normaly. I though Safari was corrupted, so I tried reinstalling OS 10.3.9 and still the same issue. I think it's something to do with the java settings,
I tried everything already and still nothing.
I also tried to trash the Download.plist . I found this in Home_folder>Library>Safari folder>Download.plist
After I trash it relaunch Safari an tried again but NO LUCK!! PLEASE HELP!

I trashed the download.plist in the safari folder and restarted my computer and safari still does not download any link I click on to download. I usually have to press on the "Control" key and select download linked file...however some links you cannot download anything and when I do that only the icon gets downloaded not the actual program such as Firefox mozilla or Iworks 30 day trial.
PLEASE HELP, and thanks for everything.

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange. It keeps changing my default browser from Google to Only Search, and my search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click a link

Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange lately! It keeps changing my default browser automatically from Google to Only Search (if you use the search engine Only Search it takes you to Yahoo.com). My search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do to make it Google. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click on a link. What is worn with my computer and how do I fix it?!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."
