Safari issues with at least two sites and RSS Feeds broken

Greetings all. This is my first time posting on here, I'm also a new(er) Apple user. Finally switched from the dark side. Love the Macbook, but after so many years with a PC, I am definitely not within my element on some things. Here are my two issues:
1. On Safari (and Firefox incidentally) if I go to msnbc.com or yahoo.com I get a dysfunctional appearance. msnbc.com simply doesn't load except the outer frames. The inner content doesn't load at all. They have redesigned their site and I still only get the outer frame from the old design. On yahoo.com, it simply gives me a very bland, generic front page and tells me to upgrade to a more current browser. I'm running the most current Safari. Don't know what's wrong. I get some challenges on some other sites i visit, but nothing specific comes to mind - except maybe flash driven applications - heavy flash. They run slow or not at all.
2. I love(d) RSS feeds in Safari. All of a sudden they stopped working. It still shows unread messages - which I cannot clear - and will not load any new messages. If I try to read a feed, it gives me a error page - similar to a non-existent page/link. Not sure how to fix this.
With the first issue, being relatively new to Apple, etc, I honestly don't know if I selected some weird setting unknowingly that is causing my problems or not, etc. Don't know if I caught a virus, bug, etc. Wouldn't know how to find out if I did.
Anyone that is patient, intelligent with Apple and doesn't mind helping out a stupid new Apple user. :o) VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!

All companies are out there to make money, however much they try to disguise the fact.
GoldenShoes is partly right. However, not all sites are deliberately designed to just work in IE and Firefox; a lot of developers simply don't realise their code (or parts of it) is not functional in other browsers because at least 90% of the world's population use IE or FF. In other cases, it's just not economically viable to cater to such a tiny percent of the Internet-using population (besides, what would all those people that want to be 'different' do?!
You might want to try contacting those companies and telling them of your problems - after all, they are losing business by doing this and they may be unaware.
The other part of the argument is that FF, and IE especially, let a lot more 'bad', invalid code though to cater to their users. Opera and Safari don't really do this as much, and there is a lot of cross-browser incompatibility.

OSX 10.9.1 Compatibility issue with Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B

I have Mac Mini's connected to the Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B touch screens and after updating to 10.9.1 am experiencing what appears to be a compatibility issue with the Sharp TPM driver and the OSX 10.9.1.
Everything works perfectly previously on 10.8.4 and 10.8.5. I did not test on 10.9.0 as I went straight to 10.9.1. Anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on resolution?

OK so perserverance seems to have helped here - i used the cmd R function on start up to get to the page where i can re install OS X Lion - Safari now working.
However i have Office 2011 for MAC and now Excel wont start so i will post on another thread for help with this
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue

Issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and Windows 7 64-bit Preview Handler

Hi. I work in an enterprise environment that is currently migrating to 64-bit Windows 7. The only version of Acrobat we have approved for Windows 7 is 10.1.2. We're seeing an issue with this version that causes the preview handler to not work. The preview panel in Explorer is just white and will eventually give the error "Preview handler surrogate host has stopped working." I've tried to fix listed on http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html but that registry key is already correct. Our current work around for these users to just install Reader X1 and make it the default PDF handler, but I would like to find a better solution. Is there a known issue with Acrobat 10.1.2 and 64-bit operating systems? Or is there a way to change just the default preview handler?

Most of the info on the web page you link to is 2-4 years old. I doubt it applies. Your workaround is actually the best solution: It's always preferred to use the latest PDF viewer. Reader and Acrobat can exist on the same machine.
Also, why 10.1.2? There have been 6 releases since then with documented security enhancements (meaning there are also published vulnerabilities which are patched), bug fixesm, and feature enhancments.
I'll ping some folks about the error you are getting. . .

Issue with Adobe Encore CS5.1 and Matrox MAX H.264 encoding on Windows

Here's some information on an issue that we've identified with Matrox products and Encore CS5.1:
"Issue with Adobe Encore CS5.1 and Matrox MAX H.264 encoding on Windows"

Still flickering on Encore even when rendered in MPEG-2 DVD in Pemiere Pro CS5.5. Looks perfect in Premiere Pro.
Any other ideas?

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

This sounds like an error in Time Zone support. The time zone needs to be the same in Outlook as well as the phone.

Issue with Visibility Settings for Backgrounds and Layers

I am using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 (Windows) and having an issue with visibility settings for layers and backgrounds. I am attempting to get backgrounds to appear while viewing in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro but not be printed and so far have had no success.
When using a background the Appearance Options dialogue has "Show when printing" unchecked, but "Show when displaying on screen" is checked. This results in the background not showing on the screen, and the background will only appear once the box for "Show when printing" is checked. It looks like the option for printing is dictating whether or not the background is able to appear.
Using layers has not worked either. The background layer is set to "Never Prints", but will still show up when printed.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has a solution, or has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi setrev2012,
How are you adding the backgroud?
The only way I can think to accomplish this is via a watermark.
The basics...
Open PDF in Acrobat. Choose Pages > Watermark > Add Watermark.
Select a jpg or PDF of your background and adjust scaling options as desired.
Then click the Appearance Options.. and uncheck the Show When Printing option.
In this image the PDF is a blank page with the word "Test" on it. The watermark is the stamp and impression (a stock photo jpg).
If you want a solid color background, just create a flat image of the background color for use as the watermark.
If you have already followed the steps and still facing the issue then please share the file with me at [email protected] so that i can have a look.
Regards,
Rave

Safari 5.0.5 wont show Youtube modules, RSS feed, Adsense and Facebook module

Safari 5.0.5 wont show Youtube modules, RSS feed, Adsense and Facebook module for my wesbite http://savingtherepublic.com I also have an audio track that autoplays when you visit the site the "player" doesnt appear on top left of my page under a speaker icon and audio doesnt play.
BUT let me be clear everything works fine in Firefox?
Anyone have any idea whats going on?
I have done nothing but the system update for security that auto updater popped up for to do yesterday and today I did some Java update... again these 2 updates are for the Mac. I also did a flash player update. Everything was working fine yesterday absolutely no problems

Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
Thanks!

Wi-fi and safari issues with a specific site

My iPad wouldn't connect to my banks website or my banking app via my home wi-fi today. It works when I change to mobile data though. I'm able to browse other websites with ease via the same wi-fi connection though. Yet when I use the same wi-fi connection on my home PC, I'm able to connect to the bank website. I took my iPad into an iStore today, and I could connect via their wi-fi. So it appears to be a compatibility issue between my home wi-fi and my iPad. Please let me know if you can help, as I'm stumped!

Your understanding of the problem seems correct to me. There's no way to fix it except to replace the logic board.

Strange issue with Apple ID in iTunes and Safari

I have a client who recently has had a very odd issue with his Apple ID. He is unable to purchase any music from the iTunes store on his MacBook Pro running 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3. When he tries to purchase a song from the iTunes store, he enters in his correct apple id and password but itunes just returns right back to the login window with blank fields. There is no error message about using an incorrect password or apple id. When we try to log in to the Manage Apple ID page using Safari, we get the exact same thing. No error, just goes right back to the login screen like nothing happened. We can, however, log in to the site using another browser like Firefox or Chrome without issue.
I have done some extensive troubleshooting and isolated it to the user library since itunes and safari work fine in a test account we created. I've tried pulling all seemingly related pref files, application support files, caches, keychain items, the safari folder, etc. Basically if it was in the user library and had safari, apple id or itunes in the file name, I pulled it. This didn't fix the issue. I was able to temporarily fix the issue by pulling pretty much everything from the user library folder's application support and preferences folders. Everything worked for a little while but then the issue returned.
Does anyone have an idea what file could be going corrupt so quickly that is causing both safari and iTunes to no longer log in with his Apple ID?
Thanks in advance!

Sometimes resetting an Apple ID password can help > Apple - My Apple ID
If that doesn't help, from the iTunes menu bar click Store > Sign Out
Restart the Mac, launch iTunes then sign in again.

Safari issues with Tabs, Video, and Java

Hi. I updated to Lion and Safari 5.1 and did all the software updates. I have a MacBook from 2008. For some reason, I am having a lot of issues with Safari. I hope someone knows what I am doing wrong.
1. Every time I open Safari after I turn on my computer or it wakes up from sleep, I have to do an internet test to get the computer to realize I am still connected to my house WiFi.
2. The computer goes to sleep after 30 secs. Can I change this somehow?
3. I cannot open any videos from YouTube or vidoes my friends have posted on Facebook.
4. I used to be able to drag a link over an existing tab and it would automatically go there. Now I have to drag it to the + sign to get it to open. (command click still works)
5. I tried to check my plug-ins to see if that was the problem. I put all of my internet plug-ins in the trash and added them one by one. Safari seemed to work a lot faster, but then as soon as it went to sleep, I had the same issues. Also, I can't find Java anymore (not in my trash, didn't delete anything from the trash) and I did the java test on a website and it's not showing what it's supposed to. All the software updates say it is fine, but obviously it isn't.
I know this is a lot of stuff, and most of it is probably due to me not really understanding how my mac works. I've been looking through the forums to see if anyone else has all of these issues; after an hour and a half of reading discussions, I gave up. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you.

So, while waiting for some help, I've been continuing my own research.
3. It turned out that it wasn't Java messing with my videos. I just needed version 10,3,181,34 of Adobe Flash and now all videos are working. Hope that helps if anyone else was having similar issues. Here's the link if you need to find out which version you have: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
4. It turns out that there are several other discussions regarding people who can't drag and drop links into Tabs on Safari. My solution was to write to Apple to ask if they can put that feature back in.
5. I'm not sure if I am still having Java issues, but so far everything I am needing to upload and watch is fine.
One and two are still annoying, so I'll continue to look for solutions. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. Hope this helps someone as much as it helped me. I don't want to throw my computer against a wall every 5 seconds now.
