Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • Safari does not display text

    The pharmacy I work at recently put together a website using FrontPage on the PC in the office. The page displays just fine in Internet Explorer and Firefox, but when I log on with Safari on my personal computer, none of the text shows up, only the images and links.
    Is there any way to correct this??
    Here's the website:

  • Safari does not display PDF files?

    Type or copy paste the following:

  • Photos page does not display photos in some browsers

    Hi All:
    I published my "Photos" page,
    http://web.mac.com/funkyoldude/
    It appears to work fine on Opera v. 9.24, Firefox v.2.0.0.7, and Safari v. 2.0.4.
    It does not display my photos on Mac IE v. 5.2, AOL v.10.3, and Mozilla v. 1.7.13
    On these browsers I get the message:
    # Exception: ReferenceError
    # Message : detectBrowser is not defined
    Any ideas? That's a lot of folks that can't view my webpage.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Best way to reach Apple is to send a Bug Report via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond directly to these notes, the information gets in the hands of Software Engineers at Cupertino.
    Specific to the referenced site, there are multiple code errors, which would contribute to the rendering problem. Safari is a lot more specific about following correct code than other browsers. I suggest passing the Validation report on to the site developers. Good code practices (W3) makes for better uniformity and security on the Internet.

  • .mov file does not display on the web-site

    iWeb is easy to use but my simply link to a .mov file does not work. I am working on the Domain file on my Desktop so I can move it between computers, and it renames the media file in the inspector from name.mov to name-1.mov. In the end the site does not display the animation.

    Are you linking to this file so that it can be downloaded from your website?

  • Safari will not display text

    Why does Safari not display the main text section of the following web page? This happens with Safari for Mac and Windows. Obviously the site is done with a MS-compatible design tool. Is there an easy change that I can suggest to the site's webmaster or is there a 'plugin' that can be used by Safari to allow visibility?

    Thanks,

    Hi Barry,
    It looks like it's just not coded too well: [Validation results from the W3C|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aledo.k12.tx.us%2Fhsb%2F &charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]
    Firefox/Camino are more forgiving for bad code and the sites works with these browsers.

  • Safari Does Not Allow Access to Web Sites With Wildcard X.509 Certificates

    I'm really getting irritated with the Safari browser in OSX Mavericks.  One of the more irritating features involves the inability to access web sites that use improperly constructed wildcard X509 certificates.  By improperly constructed, I mean that the X.509 certificate does not contain the host name of the system being accessed in the Subject Alternate Name list.
    Earlier versions of Safari would, at least, allow me to examine the X.509 certificate and determine whether I wanted to proceed with the connection.  The current version of Safari doesn't provide that option.  It simply displays a screen stating that it can't establish a secure connection to the web site.  If you actually have a need to access the web site, you need to use a web browser like Firefox.
    What's really irritating about this is that Safari had improved to the point where it was reliable enough to be used as the default browser.
    Is there a Safari.plist setting that will allow me to change the behavior of Safari when it encounters an improperly constructed X.509 certificate and provide me the opportunity to examine the certificate to decide whether to proceed or not?

    Have a look in your Networks panel in System Preferences. Click on the Advanced button, then Proxies. There may be an errant proxy present blocking the site load.

  • Safari does not display GMail/Google Reader unread counts in tab titles

    To reproduce this, do the following:
    1. Create a bookmark for either GMail or Google Reader
    2. Click on the bookmark under Safari to load either site (make sure it has at least on unread item)
    The text in the tab title will not display the unread count. Instead, it displays either "GMail" or "Google Reader". Firefox displays the unread counts for both sites in the tab's title text as follows: "Gmail - Inbox(2) - <email addr>", "Google Reader (2)".
    This is the one of the main reasons why I will continue to use Firefox over Safari. Displaying the unread counts in the tab titles allows me quickly glance at the browser's window with both sites loaded in separate tabs to see if there are any unread items.

    I had the same problem and was able to find a workaround. The key insight actually came from another one of your (jkwuc89) posts where you mentioned:
    Loading GMail or Google Reader from a Safari bookmark appears to behave differently when compared to loading either site from a link on another page.
    The solution is to change the address of your bookmark so that it is similar to loading the site from a link on another page. When you bookmark Gmail, it's address will read:
    https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox
    However, edit the address of this bookmark to:
    javascript:window.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox'
    This Javascript snippet will trick Safari to open Gmail as if you had clicked a link on another page and the tab will display the correct page title including unread count. You can follow a similar pattern with Google Reader or other sites that exhibit a similar problem.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (latest) does not load video on some sites

    Since updating the Flash player to 10,1,82,76 many sites with flash video does not load content and usually stays black or showing a loading icon forever. Same result in all browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
    One example is revision3.com, where flash video never loads. However, flash video loads fine on youtube.com for instance. I have been trying to uninstall, reboot, repair permissions and install again with the no success.
    Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
    Thanks!

    Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
    As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Safari does not display images

    Yesterday - suddenly- Safari stopped displaying images on any web page. Fo example on Apple.com the picture of the large Apple does not come up and so on. Should I re-install Safari- download again? Just to check the images DO display in Explorer which I had to use to post this.
    thank you.

    I had exactly the same trouble. I followed these instructions--emptied the cache and ditched the plist file, and when I restarted, they were all there again. I've been suffering with no images for a long time--I wish I would have done this sooner--it was easy!

  • Safari does not display full URL

    Safari 6.0.5 will not display full URL until I click in the URL Location bar.  For example, the full URL of this page is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/question-post!input.jspa?containe rType=14&container=2131&fromWidget=true&question=Safari%20does%20not%20display%2 0full%20URL
    However, in my Safari location bar it displays only the domain level path, i.e.:
    https://discussions.apple.com
    Is this new behavior a featue or a bug?  Is there any way to make it display the full URL as it has since the beginning of time?
    Thanks!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

  • SAFARI DOES NOT DISPLAY PDF DOCS.

    Does anyone know why my Safari browser suddenly does not show PDF docs in the browser window? It used to. I use Version 2.04. A message does appear that says "plug-in cancelled". I don't know why.
    Acrobat opens it in Firefox fine, but nothing happens in Safari. I prefer Safari for viewing PDFs online because it is more convenient than having Acrobat start up and drop files on my hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
