Safari doesn't load pages first time?

Hi
I am having a problem with Safari both on my Macbook Pro (2008) and Mac Mini (2011). The Macbook is running Snow Leopard and the Mini running Lion.
When I boot my computers up and open Safari web pages tend not to load first time and to get them to load I have to go to another site then back to the one I was trying to get on. E.g - I click on my Facebook bookmark but it doen't load so I then have to click another bookmark such as Amazon which loads but then I click Facebook again and it loads! Its only started happening recently but I just cant work it out. My systems are fully up to date etc and my broadband connection is working fine.
If anybody could help, would be great!

  • Safari doesn't load pages, Not able to quit Mail.

    Hi, I'm having real troubles with my Safari an Mail. Hope that there is anyone out there knowing what is going on.
    safari always starts to load the page but then freezes and stays like that forever.
    there is no colored ball circling around and it does not affect the system. it just starts loading and stops right at the beginning.
    i am also able to quit safari properly (cmd+q)!
    when i open it again, most of the time the same thing is happening.
    it seems like there is no internet connection but firefox works and safari is usually telling me if this is the case so this can not be the problem...
    sometimes safari works properly (after relaunching it) for some time but then this "bug" suddenly (re)appears.
    a little hint: it might have something to do with my user account because i had the same problem at my old macbook pro and i took over the old account via time capsule (only my music folder! no preferences or any other files was the plan but tc decided also to take over my whole old library...)
    i have already emptied the caches and reseted safari.
    i also tried deleting:
    form values
    download.plist
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    like the guy here at the apple support community adviced at this thread
    and here is where it really gets weird:
    always when safari does this kind of thing mail is not loading my mails either nor am i able to shut it down completely.
    the window disappears but it is still running.
    this is how far it is loading:
    i'm counting on all of you and hoping for some help

  • Safari doesn't load pages containing html5 canvas on iMac

    Suddenly Safari either is very slow to load or doesn't load some pages at all.
    I have tracked it down to be pages containing html5 canvas element.
    This happens only on iMac and Macbook Air. It doesn't happen on iPad nor on Safari on a Pc. It will happen on the Mac computer both when the pages are out on the internet and when the pages ar locally stored. It's driving me absolutely mad!
    I've tried emptying cache both through Safari menu and by removing Safari's Cache.db, I've reset Safari preferences, restarted, and changed DNS to Open DNS (though it seems strange it should be an issue since the problem also occurs when I run the site on localhost).
    If I open the page directly entering the url in the adressbar it works fine, it is when I try to access it from a link on another page on the site it doesn't load. If I press reload it will load fine. The link from other pages can be either an html <a href="url"> tag or javascript window.location or window.location.href neither works. The weird thing is it worked fine until just yesterday. And it works fine on every other machine except the Macintoshes. WHY

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried everything you wrote now, however the problem remains.
    One thing I've noted though is that the page actually loads but it takes very very long time, and sometimes when the pages have been loaded the images doesn't look quite right until I hit the reload button.
    I've been thinking about another thing, there are a lot of effects like round corner, shape and text shadow, can it be these that cause the problem? I still think it is very strange though that it all of a sudden stopped working and that running it on PC or iPad everything is just fine.
    Another thing to add is that the computer is very new just got it like 2-3 weeks ago, and haven't hardly added anything except got Xcode, macVim, firefox and Filezilla.
    Also just before the problem appeared I ran a page with javascript that had me caught in an endless loop of alerts. Got that fixed, but ever since that some pages won't load correclty...
    Is there possibly anything else I can do to fix this?

  • When i load a page i get "server not found", when i click retry it loads properly, what can i do to have firefox load page first time

    When i load a page it often tells me "server not found". When i click on retry most of the time it works. How do i fix it so that it works the first time.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a couple months ago

    You either have an extension that causes that issue or some security software (firewall) is causing a delay.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Also make sure that Firefox gets full unrestricted access to the internet.

  • Safari doesn't load pages properly

    I'm developing a website but I'm having problems with Safari. So far I've tested the website as follow:
    PC:
    IE 6, 7, 8
    FireFox
    Mac:
    Safari
    FireFox
    Where not specified the browser's version is the latest.
    The website is at http://www.douglasinscotland.co.uk/
    I'm experiencing this problem in Safari for Mac only. The website is within a main frame as this method is forced by the hosting provider.
    The problem: when browsing quickly between different pages in the website often the page don't seem to load properly. Instead of appearing with a consistent dark background, it appears with some white blocks as if the browser failed to load properly the background colour for certain parts of the page. To experience it you need to click several times on the menu in the top right of the website.
    I've tried this from a different Mac in a friend's house and it's happening the same.
    I've used CSS and some JavaScripts on the pages.
    It happens when tested in local too, therefore it doesn't seem to be a problem related to the frameset or the hosting.
    Could anybody please give me a clue where to look at to solve this annoying problem?
    Thanks

  • Safari 6 intermittently not loading images or doesn't load pages.

    Not sure if anyone else is having any issues like this. Safari doesn't load pages at all or pictures just do not load at all. It seems like if I restart my browser and try to go to the page again I can get pages to load but not always. Its not the Internet speed or the speed of my computer. I'm thinking it might be an issue with the Virus Scanner that I'm using??? Avast. Any Ideas????

    I had the same problem until today and I hope this helps.  I'm always emptying the caches and probably in a hurry I did not noticed that instead of emptying the caches I went a little bit farther and hit the disable images button.  So, go to Develop Menu and make sure that disable images is uncheked.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen white's home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.

    My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.  This is very annoying.  Why is it doing this?

    - Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is lost

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Safari is not loading pages correctly or even not at all. Help please!

    So my Safari is not loading pages correctly, making some have just plain text with no images, and others partially loaded with no images or no video.
    Some pages, after trying to refresh, completely refuse to load and say that Safari can't find the server. These pages work on firefox, which is also on the same computer and what I am having to use to type this currently.
    I have already reset Safari, as well as disabled extensions (which I didn't have any) and neither has fixed the issue.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  • Safari will not load pages after logging into certain sites

    Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 3.1 running on a Power Macintosh G4 "Quicksilver" 2002. All software updates are installed.
    After I log into certain web sites (Apple Support Discussions being one of them), Safari simply stops loading pages. It will "try" briefly but each page comes up blank. In fact, they don't even appear to download.
    This has been going on for a while now. I can't even remember when it started. I have done fresh installations of Mac OS X on to a clean disk to try and solve the problem. This has not resulted in any improvement. I am not using any extensions or modifiers.
    As an experiment, I've tried a few Webkit Nightly Builds. Those did not work any better.
    On some sites, such as eBay, Safari will put an empty file on the desktop. eBay is a prime example--after I sign in, an empty file called eBayIsapi.dll appears on the desktop.
    Seemingly this has been reported other places. What I didn't find was a fix. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this problem?

    I've just given up after several versions of Safari doing the same thing. It seems to be a bad interaction with Websense web filtering blocking some things that Safari expects to be able to download and process.
    I don't even use Safari any more because of this.

  • Safari doesn't load redirect page

    Hi everybody,
    I have an activation mail for subscribers.
    It contains a link like :
    http://oneSite/do/something?param=yeah&url=https%3a%2f%2fanotherSite/do/somethin g/else%3fparam1=tata%26param2=titi&trolollo=true
    On ipad using safari (and only there) clicking it does the redirection (I can see the correct url on the new tab) but doesn't load the page. It stays blank.
    It also appens on ipad simulator.
    However using "open in a new tab" or pasting it in url bar works well they're not really userfriendly behaviors.
    Has anyone an idea about a workaround  ?

  • Safari doesn't load a special page

    hello,
    I've got a problem with Safari. It doesn't load a special page. I always got a timeout. It's the admin page from my pixelpost site. Other Browsers like Firefox or Camino etc didn't work too, but when I start Parallels and load this page in Internet Explorer all browsers under Mac OS X works perfect after I load it once in windows.
    Deleting cache or deinstalling Safari completly and reinstall with Pacifist didn't solve the problem. I couldn't explain it for me, so I hope that some of you know a solution.
    I've got always the newest version of all Mac OS X Browsers
    Thank you,
    Marek

    Hi again Marek,
    Thanks for the info, perhaps some one will pipe in with more for you, I hope so.
    I suggest you look at Parallels support, & contact them.
    See if there is an update for it, that may help.
    Other wish if I were you i would try uninstalling the Parallels software,
    to see if that makes any difference to your accessabity to said site.
    It is indicated that it may be the issues simce you say you can load the page if the application parallels is running, it's as if you mac is behaving like a windows box.

    I don't know how else to help, good luck! & please keep us posted.
