Safari loads old page when clicking "Refresh" or "Reload"

Hello Everyone,
I am using the latest version of Safari (4.0.3).
When I am viewing a webpage that contains data that is updated frequently (for example, this page in Apple Forums) and I click on "Reload" current page to view the page newly updated, Safari loads the old page...not a new one.
Anyone having the same problem? Or, perhaps, I have a setting that may need to be changed?
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks,
joe

Greetings,
It sounds like your cache isn't being purged, or there's something preventing it from being purged, so try this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Disk Permission, restart Safari and see if the problem continues.

Why does Safari load old page when i return from an article to main site.

iMac fully updated.
This started after OSX 10.7.3 and/or Safari 5.1.3.
(same problem with Safari in IOS5 on iPad 1)

Hi,
It must be in the Cache from Safari.
Open Safari browser and select from the menu bar in Safari "Empty Cache" than reload Safari.
When this is not working than "Reset Safari" be care full, don't reset the Cookies, this file contains the web log-ins that you saved.

Safari loading old pages?

Anyone else noticing Safari opening old pages on forums? While visiting several of my daily forums today, I noticed it loading pages that were from my visits last night or yesterday. I'm pretty sure I cleared my history last night, so it must be reading some invalid cookie data?
If you want to look for this, pay attention to forum pages that load possibly after you post. I noticed this twice on two different forums.
Anyone else having this happen?

THIS IS THE WILDEST THING I HAVE SEEN YET!!!
Earlier this morning (at 9:05am), I replied to a post on a forum FROM MY PC UPSTAIRS.
Later today (at 12:36pm), I was back on that forum FROM MY IPAD DOWNSTAIRS.
I read some threads, and at a point, I backed up to the forum index.
IT SHOWED AS IF I HAD JUST POSTED the comment (from 9am) 19 SECONDS EARLIER!!! (meaning, the page looked like nothing had happened on the forum for nearly 4 hours) There had been HUNDREDS of posts/replies/threads during that time.
REMEMBER, THIS WAS POSTED FROM A SEPERATE LOCATION AND SEPERATE DEVICE COMPLETELY - A PC EVEN!! I was on a DIFFERENT device many hours later. From two seperated devices that aren't connected in any way, shape or form?!? The iPad was downstairs charging.
How is that even possible?!? Can anyone even come up with a guess on this one?!? I haven't got a clue!!

Safari loads old pages

So when I go to my bookmarks and request "top news stories," Safari often gives me a page of news stories a couple of days old. What gives?

Try unchecking the box toward the bottom of the System Preferences - General pane. (Under "Number of recent items").

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https?

Why does safari display empty page when localhost service are requested using https and port 37542 (https://localhost:37542/), but displays page properly when regular port is used (https://localhost/).
Both links return the same json response and work properly in other browsers. Certificate for localhost service was installed to the storage.

Problem solved.
I added headers for localhost service response and page displayed normally.

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

IPad 1 - safari pulls days old pages when going between pages and sometimes drops out

Does anyone have a problem with Safari whereby, you go from one we page to another and when going back to a previous page, Safari shows a days old page? In addition, Safari will drop out to the 'desktop' at times for apparent reason. Doesn't matter if the we page is a simple page or one with video. This all started with Apple pushing their latest iOS. Apple wants to charge $30 for you to ask about this problem but it's their iOS that pushed on their product. Like I stated, it worked fine before their latest iOS push.

Jesus H Christ this is still driving me up the wall, i can't believe everyone is just accepting this. Isn't there a way to fix this? Can we at least have an option to turn this OFF?? Reloading a page everytime i go back is such a waste of time/bandwidth/my nerves when i am in the middle of a page

Safari loads blank pages

Hello
A problem has recently started on my MacBook with Safari, I can browse the web fine and get on all the websites I want to. However sometimes when I click on a link safari looks like it is loading the page as normal and takes the normal amount of time but fails to display anything, I just end up with a white page! This consistently occurs with the same pages, I then just have to refresh the page and it loads fine every time!
If I Ctrl-click on the page and select 'view source' the source of the page is displayed!
All the pages that fail to display have worked fine in the past, I'm not really sure when or why the problem started.
I have repaired permissions and deleted the Safari preferences file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bryan

ewww, why on earth would you want to look at that? . . .
Seriously, though. The page does download properly for me (and quite quickly too). That suggests a problem with your settings. If you have another account, try to download the page with that. (It is sometimes a good idea to have an alternative account so that one can test for any differences.)
One might also try with another browser.
With Safari, however, I would check two things, both in the Safari menu (top left of your screen):
(A) Block popup windows (if on, turn off; of off, turn on -- perverse I know. Mine is showing blocked)
(B) Empty cache.
And with both of those, restart Safari. You might also consider (down the line a bit) a restart of the computer and a restart of your router.
You do not say how you connect to the internet, but many people do now use broadband/adsl/networks. Restarting the router would give a new external IP number and thus the site would recognise it as a new connection (this works when sometimes the iTunes shop lags).

Loaded movie stays when site refreshed

I am working on a website using mostly the loadMovie
actionscript below. It is applied to the buttons on the page so it
loads on a released state. It loads into an empty movie clip I have
placed on the page. The main swf file which loads the other swf
filespage, doesn't have the content until you click on the buttons.
on (release) {
loadMovie("type.swf", this.mc_home);
The problem I'm having, is that while the execution of that
code is fine for each button, when you refresh the page, the
content that was previously there in the empty movie clip, stays on
the page.
Is there a delete option that empies that movie clip as the
page loads?

you could have an unload command on the first frame of your
flash movie to clear the existing material, maybe within the
preloader code so it only runs the once.
Just a thought...

Safari loading problem pages ?

I have Safari loading and opening new pages in an additional tab, typically this is Mackeeper or some other advert..
All software updates are current on this IMac
Any help with solutions ??

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Safari loads web page as a white blank page (source code present, however)

I created a personal website for my portfolio. Before updating it would only load in safari if...
I typed the address in the url and hit enter, then added www. and hit enter, and finally once I erased the www. the page would finally load.
Now with the update it only loads when it wants to?!?!
The source code is always visible, but it usually only shows up as a blank white page!
Please help me, this is ridiculously frustrating considering it works in every other browser.

I had trouble using Safari, too. Second "refresh" loaded the page.

Problem with safari loading unselected pages

I've been having some problems in safari associated with pages loading that weren't selected. I don't believe that any of the pages that I end up on are actually links on the pages I was on. It happens when I'm reading in google reader or in Yahoo reading some of their top stories. I usually end up on a "select a survey question", I am able to hit the back button and get back to the page, but then it will try and forward to the same page I just left.
I've emptied cache, reset safari, ran the disk utility repair, and while it's an infrequent occurance it happens often enough that I want to fix it.

Good... you're up to date.
I think this may be more of a Google Reader issue then Safari. Try the troubleshooting help here.
