Safari not adapted for modern web pages.

Why isn't safari on Ipad (and Iphone) adapted to normalweb surfing?
A lot of web pages require point and click, that's no big issue. But when a page requires point and DRAG, that's when I run into problems. Also a lot of newer web pages does'nt recognise even point and click. It seems their new (is it HTML5 enabled pages?) ways of handling mouse input is not very well adopted in Safari for IPad.
So, anyone else experince the same issues? (Or, how do I DRAG things on web pages when sufing on my IPad? Two fingers doesn't seem to do the trick.)

Try dragging with three fingers.
I haven't run into any web site that doesn't accept a tap as input in place of a mouse click. Do you have the URL to an example site or two so we can see if we have the same issue?
Regards.

  • Safari: 27 min for loading Web page (JavaScript issue)

    I have Safari running on Mac OS 10.7.1 (MacBook Pro). It works fine, except for some Web pages. For example, <http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Erster-Kratzer-fuer-Kryptoalgorithmus-AES -1324532.html> gets loaded partly, then it takes minutes to have it completely on my screen (even the text).
    In order to depict it, I started the Web inspector and put a screenshot of it for download.
    As you can see, there are some JavaScript parts that gets interpreted as streams. This is what causes Safari to show a high latancy, up to 7 minutes. The whole page mentioned above took 27.1 minutes to load. The actual problem is that some parts that apparently are required to complete the page are loaded after some latency.
    Switching off Safari Extensions, clearing the cache, and temporarily removing files in "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" and "~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" did not show any effect.
    On the other side, Firefox 6 (on the same machine) does not have this issue. Its web console complains about "illegal characters", but the page gets completely loaded within fractions of a second.
    Any ideas?

    The issue has been solved in the meanwhile. The problem was that I had NetBarrier X5 running in the background with Banners Filter switched on. Obviously this caused the massive delay in loading some Web pages with ads in it.

  • Safari not displaying images on web pages

    My Safari was working fine and then all of a sudden the images stopped displaying in the web pages. I thought maybe it was because my browser needed an update. I installed Safari 5 but i'm still having the same problem. I read in another forum that one should clear the cashe and trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist)). i cleared the cashe but i'm not sure where to find the safari preference file. can someone please help??

    On Vista, the plist file is in a hidden folder, but I don't immediately associate that particular plist with trouble displaying images on Windows systems. (Especially not on Safari 4.0.x installations, when the issue started for you.)
    Can you check something for me? (This isn't going to be a cure in itself, but it will point us towards the most profitable lines of further troubleshooting.)
    Create a new Windows User account with full administrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Launch Safari in the new account. Do images display in web pages in the new account?
    (If they do display, we'll focus on preferences and settings files in the usual user account. If they don't display, we'll check on damaged Apple Application Support and Safari program files.)

  • 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.

  • Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow with most recent upgrades of Firefox .Use an iMac and an HP officejet printer. Printer works fine with Safari and woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages.

    Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.

    Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
    I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
    With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
    Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
    If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

  • Safari update to 5.1.5, on snow leopard, now safari won't open any web page.

    Just installed Safari update to 5.1.5 and now Safari won't load any web page. Running snow leopard on an iMac.  How do I fix, or revert to previous version of Safari that did work, keeping in mind, can't access internet on that computer since Safari won't load a web page (Firefox, Chrome, Opera have never worked on that computer, although Firefox worked fine until I upgraded OS to snow leopard).

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

    When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

    If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

  • Firefox is now hard to load, and no matter what I click on for a web page, or even my mail I get the connection was reset and I have to hit the try again button 5 - 6 times usually to get the page to load.

    I updated internet explorer also changing my server provider so that my web page contact emails would go thru. I have quest broadband and could not use my yahoo accounts as they are not compatible, had me open a q.com email will transfer to outlook for my web pages. That all works, but now firefox is acting up.

    Many business users chose to use the downgrade option to XP until Windows 7 had been out awhile longer ,which may be what happened on your machine. Where I work, most all of the machines still run XP.
    Recovery Disks contain the OS and all drivers/software for a specific model. A plain Windows disk contains just the OS.Not sure which you have, but a true Recovery Disk set will not work on any machine.
    It really sounds like you have a Windows Repair disk which requires a backup image to repair an installation.Could you confirm what exact disk you have?

  • How do I lock my default language to English for all web pages?

    I have discovered that my language keeps reverting back to French for my web pages. Not for the sites per se, but for anything that I manually enter into a field or form. And since I have my work and home computers set to sync, it keeps reverting back on both systems. It's not necessarily noticeable until I type a word that isn't in the French dictionary, and then everything gets the red underline to indicate the misspelling. I change it *every single day,* but it doesn't stick. Any suggestions?
    For the record... the language does not go to French on my Yahoo Mail, but it does on Facebook and random web pages. I initially thought it was a Facebook problem, but when I tried Chrome, MSIE, and Opera (yes, Opera), there was no French issue, I narrowed it down to Firefox. Sorry.

    You appear to have installed an additional French dictionary that shows as four French dictionaries in the right-click context menu under languages.
    This has nothing to do with installed languages in "Tools > Options > Content > Languages" that are language choices send to the server via the HTTP request headers.
    If you do not want to use those dictionaries then you can uninstall (or disable) the extension that added them.

  • Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

    Hi all,
    I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
    A few questions:
    1 - Would I be better of  creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
    2 - Any hints in getting started?
    note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

    You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
    I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

  • Modify "Publish for Approval" web page?

    Is there a way to modify the "Publish for Approval" web page in Aperture?
    The original package includes a PNG file you can modify to put your logo on, but nothing else.
    Thanks for any input.
    David

    I'm not the developer of this interesting looking package, but it doesn't look like it's something that will work with .Mac at all.
    The web pages is creates rely on an application to be running on the machine that's serving the web page (which, as it's designed, would be your local Mac). This application needs to receive approvals from the web page events, and also needs to be on your machine so that it can use AppleScript to set the metadata in your Aperture library so that the approved pictures show up in the smart group. Neither of these are possible if the site is served on .Mac.
    In theory, this could run on a remote machine, since AppleScript can target processes on remote machines. But to make it work, you'd still need the CGI application on the server, and you'd also need to open your Mac to allow remote AppleScript execution over the Internet (which gets into network setup, probably secure SSH tunnels, etc). Your Mac would also still need to be on, and allowing this connection, otherwise Aperture wouldn't be notified when someone approved pictures.
    To make a short story long, it won't work with .Mac.

  • Creating a movie for a web page and making it continuously loop

    Hi all! I have a client who wants me to create a slide show with 7 images at a specific size for his web page. He wants it to continuously loop. I don't know much about this. Where can I go to learn how? I can make the movie... but I'm not sure what to export it as... and what the settings should be to enable me to make it the correct size and so that it loops. Thank you!
    I'm using iMovie '08 on my iMac.
    PS: When I looked up online for help, all I found was how to make a movie loop on one's computer. Not on web pages.

    .gif files are supported in all browsers and do not need any special "player". They are very limited in their support of colors and most Web pages rarely use them anymore.
    QuickTime .mov files can be set to "loop" (as explained above). Much more colors (millions).
    iMovie is the wrong tool to make your file (and it doesn't create .swf format).
    QuickTime Player Pro is the tool you need. It can import an "image sequence", set the frame rate (up to ten seconds per frame) and save the file in the .mov container.

  • Safari Slow to Load Certain Web Pages

    Has anyone found a fix for the web pages that get "stuck"

    This has been an ongoing problem in Safari v2.0x with OS X v10.4. However, I would describe this as "Safari stalls when loading Web pages." It seems like it may happen on certain pages, but it has been my experience that this can happen on any Web page at any give time: In fact, it just happened when I tried to load the Safari Discussions forum page!
    - Safari attempts to load a Web page
    - Progress bar in address field stalls at mid-point or later
    - Web page never finishes loading but sometimes, if you're patient, it takes a minute or more to load, but eventually finishes
    - More often, cancelling the page load (Command/Period) and then immediately hitting Command/R (or selecting Reload Page from the View menu) usually loads the page immediately!
    Once, I thought it might be favicons, but I had just reset that folder to Read Only. Also, I just used Font Book to Resolve Duplicate Fonts before seeing it happen again. This is pretty frustrating, and never seems to get better.
