Safari is not displaying parts of web pages and will not print pdfs

I am using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.3.  Web pages are sometimes missing elements.  Pdfs often do not display correctly and when I try to print them there is nothing there.  This started to happen before upgrading to 10.8.3.  Any ideas on how to solve the problem?  I do not have this problem when using Firefox.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • TS3230 When scrolling down a web page, Safari resets to the top of the page and will not stay where I stopped the scroll..

    When two finger scrolling in Safari, it resets itself to the top of the web page - not where I stopped.

    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.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 & 13 seem v. fallible. It will often refuse to load websites, fail to act on commands on harmledss web pages and will not relaunch once switched off (forcing me to reboot). Why is this ? After all its a great incentive to switch to Crome.

    This never happened with previous versions. Today it just remained inert when I tried to reach a whole range of websites - all perfectly harmless. I use a Swiss newspaper website (Le Temps) and on some long articles it gives one a print option which shows all pages in ther article on one screen, without going from page to page. the new versions just refuse to act on the print command and bring up the screen I need. Equally it will not act on a screen which asks one to say which days you want to order a book on the British library site. And once switched off, if you attempt to call it up again, icon flashes once and stops. Nowt happens.

    Did you read the comments, either on the AUR page or in the output that you posted? They explain it.

    hello sofg777, when you're at a page you want to print try to press ctrl+P and select a different printer than the Microsoft XPS Document Writer which seems to be set as your default printer in firefox at the moment.

    I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

  • On my Macbook, with google homepage, it often begins looping onto google search page and will not allow me to access any websites either by clicking on one, or typing address in. in page

    I use google as my homepage. Very often( every day at some point) when I search a subject and click on the address, a google search page come up with list of choices. When I click on address it simply returns to this page and will not let me access any websites either by clicking on them, opening in new window or tab, nor allowing me to access anything from the address line. When this occurs, it just keeps looping into this page. I clear cache, shut down, and try everything possible. Occurs very randomly and never when I first turn on the computer. ???????

  • HT4623 The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move no matter what I click on.  I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.

    The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on.  I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.  How do I remedy this nightmare?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try updating the software again.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    I am trying to update my iphone 4s to ios7. It is stuck on the terms & conditions page and will not move on even if I agree or disagree. Any help?

    this did not help me.  Agree/disagree/turn off/turn on/ try again.  Nothing gets it off the initial Icloud terms and privacy policy agree/disagree page.  The phone is really of limited usefulness, being stuck on that page.

    can someone please help me or has any one had the same problem? thanks

    can i put it into disk mode if the computer doesnt recognise it at all?
    Yes, you can.
    "Putting your iPod into disk mode" is simply a process that involves pressing a few buttons on your iPod, getting it into Disk Mode.
    To put your iPod into Disk Mode, follow the steps in this article -> Putting your iPod into Disk Mode
    As Bryan said, see if the iPod is recognized by your computer when it's in disk mode.

    Have you tried starting up in Safe Mode? If not, I suggest that you give it a try. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to help things out.
