Safari has trouble opening Apple's discussion page

Very odd. When I go to the main discussion page I get a message that the boards are down and will be back up soon. This happened all weekend. I can get thru with Shiira. All other sites seem to load up fine.
If I click the reload button, the page does come up. Later if I go back, I get the first message again.

Hi Peter
Since Shiira will load try deleting all the cookies for the Apple site.,
In Safari/ Security tab. I do this at times and like magic it loads.
However it is up and down and server change message at times.
A lot of it last week. Slow today for me on my end.
I have had much of what you describe,making me think it's my system,
or Safari rather its AD.
There is a lot of this issue in Feedback.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Personally, I would not recommend deleting/removing the iWorks 09 folder for several reasons: one is that the new versions have had several functionalities removed and until you decide that you can work with the new one and do not miss any features the older version had, I would leave the old one in place. Personally, I will not be using the new versions.
The second reason is that you can accomplish what you want using a different approach: simply open a Get Info window of your document and choose which version of Pages you want this to open in - you can also stipulate that all docs like this are opened with whichever particular version.
FWIW: Once you have edited an old document in the new Pages version, you can no longer open it in the older version. However, you can still export it to the old version.

PC user has trouble opening my photo attachments

The person on the receiving end has trouble opening and saving my jpeg (72 dpi). They appear in the body of both e-mail, hers and mine. She told me to send it as an attach and I said that's what I did. She is a graphic web designer and I can't imagine why she can't save them easily by right clicking.
What gives?

FYI - this is the Mail, Contacts and Calendar discussions area for the iPhone only.
You didn't answer every question, namely this one.
+If you are using RTF for message composition, are you adding attachments below all message text including a signature if one is used?+
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML but certain things must occur for HTML to be implemented with the message body.
Selecting a font or different font size and/or color via the Font panel when composing a message, changing the some of the message format - adding bold. italics or underlining selected text, using a Signature that was composed with HTML or RTF or that includes a graphic insert.
Windows Outlook has always had various problems with Mail's RTF and the extent of the problem depends on the Windows version and/or Outlook version used by the recipient.
For some reason when using RTF for message composition, Outlook has problems when adding attachments anywhere in the message body besides below ALL message text including a signature if one is used.
If Plain Text was supported with the exchange of email only, most if not all problems experienced with the exchange of email and message attachments would be eliminated so using Plain Text instead of RTF should resolve it with this particular problem being with Outlook recipients only. For such an old and mature email client, Outlook still has its share of bugs.

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I just downloaded Lion. Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited. How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

I just downloaded Lion. Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited. How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Finder has trouble opening a certain folder

Finder has trouble opening one folder of Midi files. It clocks away, before anything in the folder appears... several seconds of nothing. Then if I switch between views, the computer slows to a halt again, until the contents appear. This only happens with this folder of Midi files. Any thoughts?
I trashed finder preferences, repaired disk permissions...
David

open terminal, input ls -a after the $ sign, then type a space, then drag the folder into the terminal window, the path of the folder will be after the ls -a /path/to/folder now, then press return, this will list all of the files in that folder including the hidden files. To delete the .DS_Store file in that folder, you can use the rm command.
As for what is a .DS_Store file, see here or just google it.

Safari (Mavericks) will open only Google-related pages

I have a 13" Retina MacBook Pro running Mavericks... as of this morning, Safari suddenly will open ONLY Google-related pages (e.g., gmail and google maps). All other websites I try result in the gray page that says, "Safari can't find the server."
The other odd thing that happened this morning (preceding use of Safari) was that when I turned on my MBP, the wireless connection would not connect to my home network. That was temporary--it eventually connected to the network, but then even though it was connected to the network, it could not access the internet connection. All of that then resolved itself (I reset modem and router) and those connections resumed functionality. But then I could not access any web pages, as per my comment above, EXCEPT for Google-related pages.
Steps I have already taken in attempt to resolve:
booted in safe mode
cleared Safari cache
Removed all website data
under Proxies on Preferences -> Advanced tab, selected Auto Proxy Discovery
unchecked and re-checked the Fraudulent sites warning check box on Preferences -> Security tab
Does it have something to do with the Google Safe Browsing Service? Seems so odd that ONLY Google pages will load...
Thanks for any help!

In Recovery Mode, Safari opened every page I tested--i.e., including non-Google pages.
Just rebooted as usual, and Safari is doing the same thing as before--opening only Google-related pages.
Hold the phone... Hallelujah! I just noticed that my Calendar app had not updated with an event I had entered into Calendar via a different device--it should have updated the Calendar on my MBP, since I use iCloud to keep Calendars in sync. I tried Refreshing Calendar several times--no change.
So then I went to Settings -> iCloud to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in. It wouldn't let me sign out -- got the spinning ball and eventually had to force quit everything, then restart the computer. Went back to the iCloud settings, was able to sign out, and then it told me I had no Internet connection to sign back in. This wasn't really true, since I was able to connect to my gmail via Safari... I followed the prompts, anyway, to diagnose and reset the network and internet connection. Signed back in to iCloud, and voila, Safari started working! [I'm guessing the issue had less to do with iCloud, and more to do with network settings...?]
Thanks for all of your help. Hope this might help someone else!

Why does 4.0.1 not open Apple's home page ?

Of all pages on the net, Safari 4.0.1. refuses to open www.apple.com, which I find very ironic, as I saw that it was set as the Home Page, after I reset Safari, when I tried to resolve this. I have also trashed safari.plist, but to no avail. Firefox has no problem.
Bank pages and others open fine. I was wondering if anyone else has found this bizarre discrimination against the mother site, and/or has a fix? Strangely, Safari does open with specific Apple addresses like: http://discussions.apple.com/
Otherwise, there's always good old Firefox...

Isn't this site wonderful!!!
For years I have nearly ALWAYS received a solution here! Thanks a million Hawaiian_Starman. Actually, for anyone else reading this, I found that going to System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing> "assistive devices" was unchecked. But, having an inkling of Apple's ways, I checked it. Opened Safari, failed to open the Apple page, closed Safari, went back to to "assistive devices" and unchecked it. Opened Safari, typed in www.apple.com and kalabazaam!!! It opened! Your solution worked. How anyone found that beats me.
On to the next one...

Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session. How do I stop it?

I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application. In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

Safari won't open links without refreshing page

I've noticed a recent problem with Safari where I click on a link and it hangs and doesn't open. I refresh the page and then it opens right up. Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to resolve?

Empty Caches.
1. Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Quit Safari if open.
    Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" and then "Caches".
    Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"
    Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"
    Relaunch Safari.

Safari has problems displaying WAY TOO MANY pages.

For some time now, I've noticed that Safari simply cannot display certain pages. The first time I noticed this was on my MBP17 with a Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installation, using Safari 5.1.9. After a barage of Security Updates started creating a flurry of problems on this computer (including the Safari problem, as best I recall), I finally gave in and migrated (I can't really say upgraded) to Mountain Lion. It was my hope that this would cure the recent problems. It did not! After migrating to Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and Safari 6.0.5, I still see the same thing that I get on my MBP15 that remains on OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.9.
The problem I see is that Safari simply can't display certain pages. Many of them are on Apple's own website. For a while, I just thought Apple was creating pages with no content. It wasn't until I got to a page that had menus that wouldn't work (at all), that I decided to try the same page with Firefox. To my surprise, the page displayed perfectly on Firefox. I pasted the source code from pages displayed in both the Safari and Firefox into separate BBEdit documents and compared the source. It was absolutely identical! Presumably, therefore, the problem occurs with JavaScript modifications to the DOM. While it's easy to cut n' paste the DOM from Firefox, I've yet to find an easy way to do this with Safari's debugger. So, I can't tell exactly where the problem starts. Besides... Apple just doesn't pay me enough to debug their code for them!
The follow screenshots show the results of the attempt to display http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ in both browsers. (I was on this page trying to figure out a solution to the error message "an unknown error occurred (-42408)" that I keep getting in iTunes... a whole different can of worms!)
As displayed in Safari (or as NOT displayed in Safari)...
As displayed in Firefox...
This problem crops up on many sites and is rather unpredictable. The thing that amazes me most is how often it occurs on Apple's own site! And since I see it on two different computers, with different OS and Safari installations, I can't possibly be the only one who sees this. I did just try it on my iPad 1 and the same page displays fine. Do I just need to go back to an even older OS version on my MBPs? Maybe OS 8?
Anybody have an idea what might be going on? I have spent the entire past week debugging iOS7, iTunes, Safari and Mtn Lion. After over 34 years on Apple products, I'm just about ready to go buy a PC!! Maybe even a CPM box.
PLEASE HELP!
PS: Just to make it WORSE... I have tried to enter this several times and keep getting an error. I finally had to switch to Firefox and try again. What the HEXX has happened to Apple???

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 errant 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.

IPhone Safari doesn't open links in new page

Under iPhone Safari Settings, I've got it set to Open Links In New Page, but when I click on links in Safari, that doesn't happen. When I set it to Open Links In Background, that doesn't happen either. Links open in the same page no matter what the setting.
Anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks.
(iPhone 4S running IO5)

It depends on the website. Some websites have it set up to take you to a new tab, some do it in the same tab.

Just got my MacBook Pro....having trouble opening up certain web pages...just keeps scrolling and scrolling, my 7 year old desk top that is on the same wireless network for internet opened up the same web page right away, so I think the Internet is OK

just got my MacBook Pro and I'm having trouble opening up certain websites, it just keeps scrolling and scrolling and never opens up the page....this is not the case with all websites, however my 7 year old desk top - which is connected to the same wireless Internet connection opened up the same page right away, so I don't think it's the Internet, any suggestions?

Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.
Not sure if your new Mac came with 10.7.2 pre-installed as you make no mention of your os system.

New macbook pro safari won't open Apple support pages!

It is so odd. I can open every other site in Safari EXCEPT the Apple Support pages! It's a brand new Macbook Pro. Any ideas???

To clarify, it looks like if I search something via Google it won't let me see any of those support page results. It does work via a Yahoo search, but no Googlel
