Safari for iPhone switching to homepage

iPhone 4, software up-to-date, no jailbreak.
To date I have had no problem with Safari, but today whenever I launch it and try to enter either an address or a search line, it returns me to my home screen.  I thought it was crashing, but the app obviously stays active in the background.
With any other app I would delete and re-install, but i can't seem to do this with Safari.
Is anybody else suffering the same problem?  Not having a browser is a major issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Safari may be in the Full Screen mode.
Scroll or flip upwards to bring back the share and tabs icons.

  • Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    James,
    Thanks for your response.  The image was on a site I maintain.  I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine.  I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it.  Gimme a few...
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about.html is the page with the replacement jpg
    Just checked.  The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3).  The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
    thanks again,
    Tim

  • Monitor Safari for iPhone browsing from iMac?

    Don't know much about iCloud or if this is even an option. Wondering if there is a way to monitor web browsing (i.e. what sites are visited) on Safari for iPhone on my iMac using a combination of Parental Controls and iCloud somehow.  Is iCloud solely for syncing other types of content? Is there an option to disable the 'Clear History' function on Safari for iPhone? Never seen it....worth asking.
    I know how to disable Safar for iPhone in the restrictions.  Trying to avoid that if at all possible.  Just want accountable usage of Safari for iPhone without having to disable it and download some other browsing app that will not match Safari's superb mobile browsing experience.

  • Visit normal, non mobile websites on Safari for iPhone?

    I just recently got an iphone and I really like it so far, but when I visit espn's website I get forced to their mobile site which is not what I want. Is there a way to change the settings on Safari to load webpages normally?
    Thanks

    When using Safari on iPhone, it is usally the website that decides whether to push a mobile version of a site. When a web developer such as the ones who wrote the website for ESPN, they have the ability to tell which browser you are using when you access the site.
    So, that being said, there is no way to force safari to pull the normal page, that would be up to the developer of the webpage. That being said, I took a trip on over to the ESPN webpage on my iPhone. It looks like if you scroll all the way to the bottom you can click on the ESPN.com link and it will take you away from the mobile page, and give you the full content page you would normally see on your computer.

  • Safari for iPhone

    I have installed safari on my iphone, A have also add the app PDF Printer to Safari, and also written article on my website about this app. But I am unable to save my website page as PDF. My website is http://www.howto-connect.com

    I think you are a bit confused.
    You cannot install Safari on iPhone, it came pre-installed with the IOS.
    Use you computer Safari browser and save it as PDF file.

  • Can't log in to websites on Safari for iPhone 4

    I'm sure I have some setting checked or something, but for some reason I cannot log in to websites through my Safari app. One specific case in point is Ravelry.Com. If I go there, it takes me to the log in screen for the mobile website. I enter my username and password (yes, correctly) and push send and then it takes me right back to the blank log in screen. The same thing happens if I try to log in to LionBrand.com and a few other websites I've tried.
    My friend has an iPhone 4 and she can log in to Ravelry with no problems.
    HELP!!

    Thanks so much for your help, but as soon as I put the question out there, I found a link with my solution. The Ravelry hack was just one in a long list of sites I use that have been hacked. I'm so over hackers at this point. I change my passwords frequently anyway, but it's such a nuisance.

  • Where to download Safari for Iphone?

    For some reason my Iphone doesn't have Safari!!!
    Where can I download it, I've looked everywhere.
    Really sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm pulling out my hair!!!
    Thx in advance

    Maybe you have hid the icon.
    In settings you can restore the default icons.
    From the manual Page 149
    Resetting iPhone
    Reset all settings:   Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information, such as your contacts and calendars, and media, such as your songs and videos, aren’t deleted.
    Erase all content and settings: Connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
    This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
    • On iPhone 3GS: by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
    • On iPhone and iPhone 3G: by overwriting the data
    Important:  You can’t use iPhone while data is being overwritten. This can take up to two hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your iPhone.
    (On iPhone 3GS, the removal of the encryption key is immediate.)
    Reset network settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
    When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.
    To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, choose Settings > General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove.
    Reset the keyboard dictionary: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
    You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPhone suggests as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word to the keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all words you’ve added.
    Reset the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
    Reset the location warnings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings.
    Or you can search the phone for Safari and see if it shows up.
    From the manual Page 37
    Searching
    You can search many applications on iPhone, including Mail, Calendar, iPod, Notes, and Contacts. You can search an individual application, or search all the applications at once using Spotlight.
    Go to Spotlight:   From the main page of the Home screen, flick left to right.
    If you’re on the main Home screen page, you can press the Home button to go to Spotlight. From the Spotlight page, press the Home button to return to the main Home screen page. You can also set iPhone to go to Spotlight when you double-click the Home button. See “Home” on page 147.
    Search iPhone: On the Spotlight page, enter text in the Search field. Search results appear automatically as you type. Tap Search to dismiss the keyboard and see more of the results.
    Icons to the left of the search results let you know which application the results are from. Tap an item in the results list to open it.
    Application
    What’s searched
    Contacts
    First, last, and company names
    Mail
    To, From, and Subject fields of all accounts (the text of messages isn’t searched)
    Calendar
    Event titles, invitees, and locations (notes aren’t searched)
    iPod
    Music (names of songs, artists, and albums) and the titles of podcasts, video, and audiobooks
    Notes
    Text of notes
    Spotlight also searches the names of the native and installed applications on iPhone, so if you have a lot of applications you may want to use Spotlight as a way to locate and open applications.
    Open applications from Spotlight: Enter the application name, then tap to open the application directly from the search results.
    Use the Search Results settings to choose which applications are searched and the order in which they’re searched. See “Home” on page 147.
    I do not think you can delete the programs that come from the factory.

  • IOS 8.02 Safari for iPhone 5 - A Problem Repeatedly Occurred

    I can't open the webpage: "www.BirthdayExpress.com" (and some others) on my iPhone 5 in Safari since the iOS 8 update. 
    It would load fine earlier before the update, and also loads on Chrome just fine.
    The error is: A Problem Repeatedly Occurred on: "http://www.birthdayexpress.com/"
    Is there an issue with Safari having problems loading certain kinds of webpages in iOS 8?  I know the site uses a lot of Javascript, but I thought those issues were resolved in beta...
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It seems to have this issue whenever it encounters a "RenderAction/RenderPartial command in razor views... and I can't even use a <script> tag without it crashing.
    Is anyone else having this issue?

  • How do I get my Fluid Grid Layout page to resizes from portrait to landscape for iPhones?

    Starting in portrait on my iPhone 4, the fluid grid layout page does not resize when I turn to landscape.  After I refresh / resize to fit the page on landscape and then turn the iPhone to portrait, the page resizes just fine.  Everything seems to be working just fine on the desktop, ignoring IE.  Could it be my media query tags?

  • Accessory is not made for iphone

    For Christmas my daughter received a ipod speaker player. One of those speaker systems that you plug you ipod into and you can hear it... external speaker style for your bedroom. Well I plugged my iphone into it to play my music and got an error message.
    THIS ACCESSORY NOT MADE FOR IPHONE SWITCH TO AIRPLANE MODE.
    now I get this message even thou I'm not plugged into that box anymore. How can I get this message to stop showing up.

    I have an original iphone with all update sw/fw, etc. I have never had any problems with my phone. Mine just started giving me this random message as well. It began after plugging my phone into a third party wall charger that was "made for iphone". Now I get that accessory message constantly throughout the day.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this yet? Will it help to wipe the phone and reload everything?
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    -plugged the phone into the original iphone dock and left it there overnight. Restarted the phone in the dock as well.
    -plugged the phone in a car charger that works perfectly in the past with no issues.
    -restarted the phone numerous times.
    -Plugged the phone into computer and synced it several times.
    -'blew' out the connector with one of the computer dust removal aerosol cans.
    Thanks for any info. This is driving me nuts.
