Safari Fails To Load when an external link is selected in Another App

Hi, I am having a small problem with Safari,
If I I try to open a link in say Apple mail, or in a document, Safari fails to load. If I manually open Safari from the Dock and then click a link etc Safari loads the page without any problems.
Its just annoying to sometimes want to open a link, and then when it fails, to only then realise its because I did not have Safari already loaded.
This problem started about a week ago when I had been using my system in Germany, and had purchased a WiFi connection whilst staying at the local Hilton. This connection was activated when Safari was loaded and then I entered my password and logon details etc.
I do have a registered version of Saft installed in Safari, but this has not caused any problems before.
I also have all Apple updates and fixes installed n my system.
Could this be the cause of my Safari problem?
Can anyone here advise me how to repair Safari to automatically launch as it used to?
Thanks
Drusus

Drusus,
Make sure that Safari is selected as the default browser in Safari>Preferences...>General>Default Web Browser:
I know nothing about Saft, but if the Safari default browser preference has not been changed, I would be suspect of Saft.
If that is the case, perhaps an uninstall/reinstall of Saft would suffice.

  • I've been having a problem with Safari failing to load about 10-20% of pages.

    Safari is returning the message 'failed to connect to server' but sites opening fine in other browsers so ISP connection seems fine.
    Safari will repeatedly fail to open a page when it is on the same server/site as other pages that load correctly and I can navigate to other pages after a failed page load.
    I'm also able to return an hour or so later and open the pages that failed but no idea why I'm getting temporarily blocked out from some pages/links.
    Problem has only occurred in the last few days but seems persistant.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm using the latest version of snow leopard on a 2009 MacBook Pro.
    Many thanks,

    Hi...
    Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and should fix the can't connect to server issue.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK and restart your Mac.

  • Safari fails to load in Lion

    I upgaded to Lion. now safari hangs with spinning beach ball and fails to load any URL. I use a macbook. Can you help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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(s)?
    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 FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Applet failed to load when visited using HTTPs protocol with Java 7

    We have a java applet on our website which worked for ages. Then Java 7 came out, people installed it. When people with Java 7 visiting our website using HTTPS, the applet failed to load (ClassNotFoundException). The same site and the same applet, when visit using regular HTTP, it works fine.
    People with previous version of Java (1.6.x) can see the applet using either HTTP or HTTPs with no problem.
    Anything we can do on our side to resolve this problem for people with Java 7 and like to stay with HTTPS?
    Googled and didn't see any relevant result. Any pointer would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Not much on the stack trace, did a tread dump below.
    It is an application requires login, please sent and email to [email protected] and I will sent you the url and login info by email.

    I have recently been seeing that Safari 5.0.1 is failing to load screenshots properly. Instead the image starts to load but once complete it automatically starts to reload time after time, almost as though it is redirecting to the same page. I have seen this happen both with screenshots of my own and URLs created by others like this one below. The same URLs loads normally in FireFox with no problem.
    http://media.macupdate.com/images/screens/uploaded/JPG/35137_scr.jpg
    This URL from a domain on my server http://www.sunnymede.net/screenshots/ringflash_1.jpg was giving the same problem in Safari. Then the problem seemed to clear but I just checked now and it is doing the same repeated reloading. Is anybody else seeing this kind of strange behaviour in Safari?

    That looks like it was the problem for me as well. I've just disabled it and after clearing the cache it looks OK now. Thanks for the solution!

  • Firefox won't load when using desktop/start menu icons but loads when starting off links in emails

    When I try to start Firefox by the start menu, desktop or any other icon Firefox opens but then freezes and won't respond at all.
    If I go to an email and then click on a link than Firefox will open and then load as normal and I can then go about using Firefox.
    This has only be happening for the last few days and I have tried all the trouble shots and nothing has changed.

    I Have this problem too. won't even start when dbl click the .exe file directly either. but a link in another app or email works fine. I have tried all the stuff here and uninstalled and reinstalled countless times. Using new profile, disabling Norton firewall and antivirus for the installs, only thing that worked was going back to v3.6. and a real early thunderbird too (it was also crashing on starting) Was fine for about three weeks then updated them, The went in stages not all at once and was fine till the newest group of versions. then went back to crashing. this time backgrading did not work. I installed the newest versions Firefox & Thunderbird many more times and by accident found that fresh after a install could open TB first and click a link in a email and FF started ok.
    but still will not start from desktop or windows explorer
    It is ridiculous to have to open another app to click on a link you don't want to get to where you do want. What is the difference in the links.
    ks
    also would not start in safe mode or a completely new install.
    V.17.0 is the FF thats installed now and at least works as long as I don't try to open it
    from desktop or windows explorer, more than a little nervous about going to v.20.

  • Help With Movie That Continues to play when an External Link text button is clicked

    I'm using Captivate 3.
    I have a movie with Various Text Buttons one of my buttons in this particular module i'm creating when clicked opens an external PDF file for viewing.
    However, my movie in the background keeps playing when i need it to stay on that Menu Screen with the various buttons.
    Ideally so the user when done viewing the External PDF can then click another button to continue to the section in the movie where they need to go for the Software Demonstration.
    Any Ideas on how to get it to stop???   I thought i had it working yesterday but today its not.. Its possible i removed a duplicate Pause or something?
    *UPDATE - just went in to check the pause settings.. It PAUSES CORRECTLY if i Click the external Link button Once.. but if i click it again.. it reopens the link and then the demonstration starts playing in the background..
    Please help

    Hi there

  • Icons failing to load when logging in

    Hello,
    I wonder if anyone has had a similar issue or can help,
    When i login after my macbook has been in standby (laptop closed) leopard does load as normal but fails to load most of the icons in my taskbar. for example airport , battery info, bluetooth etc. this includes the default icons not just ones i have added.
    The only 2 icons that show are spotlight and the time.
    When i restart the laptop , everything returns to normal.
    I guessed this could be a corrupt plist or something, so i created a completely new account to test. same happens.
    this has only been happening for the last week or so !
    please help its driving me mad. google cant help !

    Since it also occurs in the new account, then I suggest first repairing permissions with Disk Utility. If that doesn't do it, then secondly, download and install the 10.5.6 COMBO update, repair permissions, and restart.

  • TF80070 when using external links in Project with TFS

    I have Project Pro 2010 installed and am using TFS 2013. I can import, refresh, and publish TFS items just fine from my project file, until I add an external link to another project file. Then attempting a refresh of TFS data throws the TF80070 error.

    TF80070 error responds to "Refresh Only"
    'TF80070: Team Foundation encountered an error while performing the operation. It is recommended that you save your work and restart the application.'
    Yes, you are correct, having external links to items outside of the existing
    Project, TFS is not able to complete sync. Workaround seems to be to remove external link.

  • Problem when open external link (Adobe LiveCycle ES2 workspace) with iView

    Dear all,
    I would like to know what EP doing when I use the iView to open a external application link.
    We setup the link to open in a new windows, but we find that the application behaviour is difference compare to input the link into the brower directly.
    The application is Adobe LiveCycle ES2 workspace
    Any idea?
    Regards
    Bill

    Hi all,
    It is because my iView also contained in a page, and that page affected the result.
    Problem fixed by link the iView to the role directly.

  • Firefox not loading pages from external links

    When I get an email with a link, and ask Android to open it, the browser opens and appears to be loading. But only a blank page is there. If I then close the browser and reopen it, I see the page.
    Help appreciated.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • Safari 7.0 problem when hovering over links

    Recently updated to Mavericks and Safari 7.0.  Now encountering a problem with my wordpress website www.robinmandel.net (and several other sites that use the same theme evince the same problem.)  Problem is: some links, both text and images, are now jumping around when moused over, making them impossible to click and disrupting the formatting of the page.  Same problem with Chrome.  Firefox works fine.  I've looked at my site on an older machine with Safari 6 and no problem.  Thoughts?

    Use another theme.

  • No content loads when using portal links

    We recently upgraded from 3.0.9.8.2 to 3.0.9.8.5 and in the new version we are having issues with our favorites portlet as well as any links that users create to send to other users. In the new version, after a user logs in, if they click on a saved favorite link, the new page does not load. The tabs at the top of the screen stay and the content of the page is left blank. The same thing happens if you copy a link into the browser window after logging in. However, if you navigate to the tab that the link is going to, and then go back to the login page and use the link, it works fine. We have a TAR logged with Oracle and they do not know what is wrong. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or know a solution?
    After testing, we came up with something interesting. When we were creating favorites, we were going to the page we wanted, copying the URL, and pasting it into a favorite. This URL is fairly short. Just now I tried right clicking on the folder I wanted to make a favorite and copying a shortcut. This URL is much longer (although it should point to the same place as the short one). When I tested the favorites, the first URL loaded a blank screen (as you saw in the ODC), but the second loaded the page correctly. I went back to our System Test environment to make sure that the problem does not exist there (this instance is still 3.0.9.8.2). Both the short URL and the long URL worked. Why should patching the portal cause the short URLs, which worked before, to
    stop loading pages correctly? Here is an example:

    Hi,
    The reason why I decide to use Light Framework, itu2019s because Iu2019m creating an EFP, and Iu2019m using the WPC to publish the content (articles, news, and link list), using the standard Web Forms.
    The problem is, after adding to a WPC Page something so simple like an article (using the Web Form Article), no Portal iView, HTMLB or other stuff included, the preview of the WPC Page using the Default Framework Page is ok, but when using the Light Framework Page, the text in the article doesnu2019t have the correct font-family. It looks like there are some styles missing in the Light Framework Page, that WPC content is expecting.
    Thanks and Regards,
    John
