Safari Not Accepting Custom Page Margins

I am trying to do something very simple: print from Safari with substantial margins. Page setup is gone, so I have created a custom 8.5x11 paper size with 1" margins all around. When I select that paper size during printing, Safari ignores the margins and prints the web page with much smaller margins. Why is Safari refusing to use my custom (very standard) paper size? Is there some other way to make Safari print with 1" margins?
I am using the latest version of Safari on the latest version of Lion with the latest Brother printer drivers.

Same here, but no answer for 1.5 years... tougher than I thought?

i am running safari 6.0.5

I can't test because I don't have a login, but you can try the following.
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 malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

ICloud does not accept documents (Pages)

iCloud does not accept documents (Pages) "There was a problem in the upoading" it says (in Swedish)..."Try later". I have tried 2 days now. What shall I do?

Hi,
I´m having the same issue - Have you been able to solve it yet? (Your Post is from January).
iCloud has accepted some of my docs created in Pages on my Mac (Mini 2010),
but says "Format not supported" when I try draging them from `Documents´ on my Mac into the iCloud.
The docs I was able to upload to iCloud (From Pages on my Mac), were created on my Mac in Pages
(But also using photos and elements from elsewhere on my Mac, ie. `Documents´ folder.
Please let me know if you have meanwhile found a solution, but not posted it.
Thanks a lot!

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message says.
Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
Where are you seeing this problem ?.

Safari won't use custom page margins for printing

I'm using Safari 4.04 on Snow Leopard. Here's the problem in a nutshell: I'd like to print pages that I can put in a three-hole-punch binder, without the holes going through printed content. In other words, I simply want to set a custom left margin for printing. Should be simple, right? Apparently, not if you use Safari.
OK, as far as I can tell, here's how it's supposed to work (and this is how it works for me in every browser except Safari):
In the "Print" dialog box, click the "Paper Size" drop-down menu (which defaults to "US Letter"), and scroll down to "Manage Custom Sizes…". Create a custom paper size with the desired margins. Now you should be able to select this custom paper size when you print.
This works fine in other browsers (of course you may need to select the custom size from the "Page Setup" menu, but in Safari 4 this is apparently integrated into the "Print" dialog). In Safari, however, the custom margins are completely ignored. A simple, but frustrating, bug …
This has been a known bug, as I've seen it mentioned in other forums, such as:
http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/117342-safari-4-0-3-printing/
But Apple has yet to fix it.
OK, for those who are wondering, there are two workarounds I know of, neither of which is totally satisfying:
1) When setting the custom paper size, define the paper itself as narrower than 8.5 inches; for example set it to 7.5. Safari doesn't ignore the actual paper size, it just ignores the margins you set. But unfortunately this will result in an increase in both left and right margins, not just the left margin.
2) As I teach Web design, this is the kludge I figured out on my own: Set a user-defined style sheet for Safari. First, create a plain text document consisting of this:
html {
margin-left: .5in;
(Of course, set the margin to your desired width. I'm using a half inch here.) Save this style sheet, calling it something like "safaristyle.css". Now, in Safari's "Advanced"preferences, set this as your custom style sheet. This works great, but unfortunately if you leave Safari on this setting this will result in an increase in the left margin when you view Web pages as well as when you print them. So you can select the custom style sheet only just before printing, and then set it back to "None Selected" when you're not printing.
Am I the only one who finds it odd that Apple still hasn't fixed this little bug?
Does anyone out there know of a better workaround? Thanks for listening.

Set them automatically based on what criteria?
If you just want to set them programatically, then as the Help indicates, use the Printing:Margins property to set those values.

Safari not opening web page with 10.4 thru 10.6 either on wireless or direct connect Cat 5, any ideas?

Hello,
Have a 2006 MBP core duo that Safari seems to stall and not load web pages using wireless or CAT 5, have reloaded the OS starting with Tiger and have progressed thru Snow Leopard and still no luck, I-chat works no issues and have done all the updates both wireless and via CAT 5, any suggestions?

Try emptying the Safari cache more often. Command + Option + E
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Cllick Change Settings from the Proxies pop up menu. That will launch System Preferences for you.
Deselect any checked boxes on the left under Select a protocol to configure then click OK.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari not opening any page--blank page!!

Whatever the website address I type in Safari (including www.yahoo.com, www.cnn.com), Safari opens a blank page and does not display ANYTHING. Any idea why? Up to now it has worked well.
Thanks

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line

to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.

At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

Safari not loading web pages

My mom's Powerbook is no longer able to load web pages through Safari. Her email works, as does iChat, so it isn't her internet connection. Other users on the same network can load web pages, so it isn't the service provider. I have had her reset safari, as well as remove the preferences file, and the same thing happens (the 'loading' message appears but nothing ever loads).
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks!
Brian

HI Brian,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash
If that didn't help...
Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins and /Library/Internet Plugins. If there are plugins in either of those folders, move them to a temporary location on the Desktop. With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and click the Security tab. Make sure Enable Plugins is selected. See if Safari can load web pages. If not, move those files back to the appropriate folder.
Go to /Library/Input Managers. Move any input managers from that folder to the Desktop and relaunch Safari.
Might be a web clip causing the problem. Open Dashboard and remove any web clips.
If she is running Tiger 10.4.11, open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updat4es and make sure she has the 2009-002 Security update installed. If not, download and install it here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
If her PowerBookG4 has the original hard drive, 40 or 60GB?, it might be a lack of free disk space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Safari Not Diplaying Web Pages Properly

This has really been annoying me, and today I've tried everything to fix it...
For some reason Safari will not display web pages properly. The problem occurs in different ways, sometimes varying between page loads. The one example that illistrates the nature of the problem best is Apple's iPhone page.
I have a snapshot of what I see when I load the page in Safari.
http://img.torgo.org/offsite/other/safari_iphone.jpg
As you can see in this snapshot, the black background that is supposed to be part of the page is not displaying black. This is obvously indicating a bug as apposed to bad css/styling, as I would think Apple's most recently added web page would be the one page that should display properly.
This problem is not limitd to missing backgrounds (though it's one of the more regular issues). My own blog is not displaying all the text in the right color (the color is supposed to be white, but between reloads some to all of the text displays in black).
I've tried empting safari's cache, resetting safari, and deleting the com.apple.safari.plist file in my preferences folder, but none of these had any effect... Furthermore I've also tried using different user accounts, and as of now they ALL display this pattern...
The only thing I cannot seem to try is to boot into 'safe mode' and see if it still occurs. This is because I just learned if I hold the shift key down to do so without fail every time my system shuts off at about the time it usually switches from the apple screen to the loading progress bar screen, but that is obvously unrelated to the Safari issue.
I'm using Version 2.0.4 (419.3) on 10.4.8 intel core duo (origional MacBook)...
2.0 GHz MacBook (Black) w/512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Bobby, sorry to hear of this.
Good that you tried this in another user, and with the same thing happening there, this lets us know you have a system wide issue.
Since safemode isn't working for you at the moment, try doing a PRAM reset and a PMU reset
PRAM - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
PMU - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
then try safemode...
if it's still doing the same thing, then I suggest you try an Archive/Install w/preserving users and network setting; this walks you through that - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
if it still doesn't work after that -
• back up all you files to an externald HD, CD/DVD, etc..
• boot to install disk 1
• launch disk utility
• partition the HD (you'll see it's ONE volume scheme) chnage it to like 4, partition it, then change it back to 1 and partition it then perform a clean install of OSX
if it doesn't work after that, there is a hardware issue, contact Apple

Safari not enlarging web page

Safari has stoped enlarging the page in the sense of the width. I have a page exactly the width of a iFad and no larger. Sites concerned are newspapers.

Using Command Zoom does widen the the page. I usually don't use that however because it also makes things blurry as if out of focus, especially the photos. And the menu bar is also harder to manage.
I will try to upload screen shots. The fact that there are words that are "cropped" is exactly the problem I am talking about. In addition, this is NEW, that is before this version of Safari the whole web page was widened as well as the type becoming larger. I really liked the proportional management (much better than on Firefox) because it exactly filled my screen.
Here are some screen shots. Whoops. Can't figure out how to post screen shots here. The washington Post is the worst. After a few click (two or three) the entire lead headline becomes distorted and blocks part of the page.

Safari not opening secure pages

Hey All,
Safari wont open any pages such as youtube, facebook etc saying that it cannot establish a secure server. This just happened about 3 hours ago just as my mac went to sleep. The only new thing I did was use an HDMI cable to connect to my TV. The mac had been shutdown for low battery because i fell asleep on movie. Anyways, I woke up plugged in my charger only to find that i can't connect to certain sites... Further compounding my problem is a taskbar that says "The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be <url here>..." HELP!!!

Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar. Log into the Guest User.
Test Safari.
If it works in the new User, we know it's a problem in your User's folder, If it fails in the new User it's a problem with the base files.
Let us know what happens in the new User and we'll work on a fix.

Safari not rendering a page correctly

A webpage I created in Dreamweaver uses drop down menus that are supposed to display just to the left of the link they drop from. In all other browsers they work correctly, but since the latest upgrade in Safari to 3.0.4 as a part of OS 10.4.11 on my Macbook, they are not rendering correctly. Instead they are appearing much further to the left where it's difficult to move the cursor to them before they disappear. Until I changed the color of the drop downs they were disappearing into the background. Any ideas why Safari is not rendering them correctly? I'd like to keep Safari as my primary browser, but if it won't render my own page correctly, what other pages might it be messing up? Address of the page is http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/woottonhs/ The drop downs are connected to the central column list that has small arrows beside the words. They will probably work correctly for you, but won't for me in Safari. What can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
KWolfrey

Hi,
I'm running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 and as far as I can see the menus seem to work just fine here.
Do you have a custom stylesheet set in Safaris advanced preferences? (Some Safari enhancer applications set one even if you didn't manually set one so double check to make sure.)
Also, do you use PithHelmet?
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)
Lastly, I doubt these [errors|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.montgomeryschoolsmd. org%2Fschools%2Fwoottonhs%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&g roup=0] have anything to do with your problem since it seems to work fine for me, but you might want to look into them at some point.

Safari not accessing login pages

Safari right now will not access any login page, citing "because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server". I had a harddrive fail recently and had installed a new one (120 GB replacing an 80 GB) and thus had to reinstall OS Tiger onto the new harddrive. At the same time, I upgraded my RAM by adding another 512 MB chip. I went through all the updates and everything seemed to be fine until I noticed Safari couldn't access any login page (gmail, netscape, apple ID, etc.). Before the failure, everything was working perfectly. Then the next time software updater ran, every time it tried to install something it would hang up before it finished. I have emptied the caches, the history, set cookies to always accept, reset safari, and removed the plist. Nothing has worked thus far and I am avoiding reinstalling Tiger.
I am using SBC DSL, and a friend had almost the same setup as me (except he has a G4 PowerPC with the mirrored doors) and he has no problem with it.
I know I can use Firefox and IE, but I hate those browsers and would like to use Safari. I also really would like to download the latest updates.
Other than that, I have not had any problems.
I would appreciate any help, thanks.

did this worked fantastic as a number of other applications have also freed up it had started with safari then software update, text edit, imovie etc i also have x509 certificates that i have put into the trash what are they and should i bin these as well

Safari not caching previous page properly

After the last update I have had problems with going back to the previous page and it not being the last page I went to. As an example if I go the espn soccernet it will load the most recent page. If I click an article, read it and back click to the last page, it will load up a previous screen from another time I visited(ie one from another day). If I command-R, it will load the page properly. I have this problem with another service I use called chelsea sundayleague. If I set up tactics on a screen, and back click to the previous screen, it will load another dated screen. I have 2 "teams" and log in seperately for both, and sometimes back clicking loads a seperate team's page even though I have logged out.....It does this behaviour under private browsing and regular. I do use Safari Stand, if that matters... Any ideas as to what the heck is going on?? I am running safari 2.02 and Tiger 10.4.3. It does it on my imac G5 and my ibook g4...Wacky...

Private browsing seems to be causing the problem...
