Safari not displaying Facebook properly

Since yesterday, Safari stopped displaying Facebook properly. I get a white page with no formatting, just a column of links. That is the only site I have problems with. All others seem to work fine and Facebook displays properly if I'm using Firefox. ???

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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
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.

Help, Safari not displaying images properly

I think I have narrowed the issue down to the display:inline-block that i have going on, but i thought this was supported in safari 4. Can anyone tell me why this sites images are not showing up properly?
fotographitti.com/blog
It shows up perfectly in firefox and in ie8. I haven't tested in others as i am currently lacking resources, but from what I am seeing, the images show up really tiny in safari most of the time. Sometimes it will render them properly, sometimes it will only render 1 or 2 of them properly. Very weird. Chrome has the same issue, but is a little better about it.

Thank you for your reply. This is a site that I am designing, I know not much to look at, lol. The images are just there to test (and are not mine). I need to make sure that the site shows up properly or at least close enough on most browsers. It's weird that sometimes, it will show up properly and if I hit refresh it will get thrown out of whack, or if it's all screwed up and I refresh it will look ok again. I don't understand, why the images are showing up very tiny. I mean, I look at the page source and the code looks good, so why is this not showing up properly... ARRRRRGGGGHH!!!!

Safari not loading Facebook properly.

I've tried a whole host of different things to fix this issue. Cleared cache and physically deleted the cache. Cleared cookies and deleted cookies. Reset safari as well and still nothing.
I've changed the IPV6 settings to local and unchecked all proxies as well. I've finally run out of ideas. Have also reset the mac a few times.
Anyone else had this problem? It just started today for no reason, I was on facebook in another tab, closed it, then re-opened later on and it just doesnt work. For reference, here is a picture of what it looks like:

Newsflash: I managed to get Facebook working on Safari again!
I did like this:
>Safari>Settings
>Addons tab
Disabled Addons (top right corner)
Restarted Safari
Went to facebook.com >It works!
Enabled Addons (top right corner)
Facebook.com still works
Hope this works for all you others too

Safari not displaying lists properly as defined in CSS

I have been successfully using my .css file for a while on my website for work. Now I need to default to the 2nd level of ordered list as my first, but just for this page. However, Safari is showing it as 1st level ordered list even with override. Opera, Netscape, Explorer, and Firefox all display the page correctly, but Safari does not.
I've got Safari 2.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.4. The page is ocean.tamu.edu/GCOOS/RA/memorandum.htm
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Try checking that it is VALID CSS with W3C's CSS Validation Service.

Mac Safari not displaying Twitter properly?

The login page looks normal but when I log in this happens every time. Other websites are fine. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I was suffering the same yesterday & this morning. Tried resetiing Safari preferences, clearing caches etc & running anti-virus scan .... all to no avail.
Just read adnan's post of 8/26/2012 5:34 I tried again and my twitter pages are also back to normal.
Fingers crossed it stays that way - guess the glitch was with Twitter, not my Mac.
Additional comment:
Not quite back to normal; avi's are not being displayed, & pictures previously uploaded "can't be found".
Still think this is a problem at Twitter, not with me.

Chromium not displaying github properly.

I am on arch linux with the newest chromium. It does not display github properly, even though I have installed the ttf packages that I read fixed rendering issues. This is what a github repo looks like on chromium: http://i.imgur.com/pN6QSRp.png Firefox displays it correctly. Also, the encoding is set to UTF-8 and the font is droid sans (I tried many fonts)

Ok, well that little D2 looking thing after 'OREUtils/' is supposed to be a '+'
Here is the code that performs that magic:
<form action="/login?return_to=%2FOpenRedstoneEngineers%2FOREUtilsV2" aria-label="Sign in to make or propose changes" class="js-new-blob-form tooltipped tooltipped-e new-file-link" method="post"><span aria-label="Sign in to make or propose changes" class="js-new-blob-submit octicon octicon-plus" data-test-id="create-new-git-file" role="button"></span></form>
So, it does not look like a font thing (on the surface). Let's go look at the js-new-blub-submit class and where does octicon-plus come from...

Safari not displaying some web pages properly why?

I have been finding of late that safari does not display certain web pages properly. i.e.: text overlaps other text and is not formatted properly. This seems to have become more common lately. Even Apple's own apple info page does not display properly. Could this be a setting in safari that I have messed up somehow?

Go step by step and test.
1. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click the “Details” button.
    Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.
3. Delete Caches.db
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown.
    Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
    Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
    Close windows and relaunch Safari.
4. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
5. Temporarily turn off Safari iCloud sync and test.
     System Preferences > iCloud
     Uncheck the box beside “Safari” and test.

Safari 5 does not display DIV properly - had to downgrade to 4.0.5

Say you have a web page with
Then some JavaScript code later:
document.getElementByID('div_a').style.display='inline';
Works fine under Safari 4.0.5 (and other browsers), ie the DIV content is displayed.
DIV is not displayed under Safari 5. No JS error raised.
/A

Entry above had html code erased. Discard and see below:
Say you have a web page with
<div id='div_a' style='display:none'> some HTML objects here </div>
Then some JavaScript code later:
document.getElementByID('div_a').style.display='inline';
Works fine under Safari 4.0.5 (and other browsers), ie the DIV content is displayed.

Safari not displaying pages correctly after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi, I just upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2010) to Mavericks and safari now displays web pages as if I was really zoomed in. When I load a page I will see it correctly for a second and it will then zoom in (no amount of pinch on my trackpad solves the problem). I can cmd - a few times to get it back to a normal display size, but I need to do it for every tab I open. When I open chrome, everything displays properly. Any Idea on what could cause this problem? Thx in advance
Sorry if I am not posting to the right forum, kinda new here

Try holding the control key and using a 2 finger swipe up or down (direction depends on how you have the track pad set) and see if you may inadvertently done zoom from this, it is different from a pinch zoom

Apache FOP not displaying Cyrillic properly

Hi,
I am using apache FOP to generate pdfs' in Russian. I have embedded the fonts into the application but the output is being displayed as html numerical codes.
The html numerical codes are stored in the database but I am unable to render them properly. I know the fonts are embedded correctly because when I apply the fonts to English text, Russian characters are displayed in the pdf correctly.
e.g the Russian characters are displayed like this:
прод... etc
Why are my codes not displaying properly ? I'm a bit lost at this point.
thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
To clarify things a bit. My web page is submitting Russian text which is being stored in an Oracle database. This text is being stored in the &#xxxx; format. This formatting is displayed properly in a web browser but I am using Apache FOP to produce a pdf and the Russian text is not being displayed as the Russian characters but as the relative &#xxxx; codes. So these codes are not being translated back into their Russian Cyrillic symbols.
I have configured FOP and embedded the Cyrillic TTF but these codes are still not displayed. I can apply the Cyrillic font style to English text and Russian characters are displayed so it seems that that cyrillic TTF is embedded properly.
I am not generating an serialized xml file but rather creating a javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource object and with my xsl file I create the pdf code snippet below:
thanks
Paul
          //Setup a buffer to obtain the content length
          ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          // add fonts for Russian and Chinese certificates

       FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
       fopFactory.setUserConfig(fontConfig);

          //Setup FOP
          Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,foAgent , out);

Umlauts in Safari not displayed correctly

My motherlanguage is German, therefore most websites I visit are in German. In the recent days a problem with Safari came up:
umlauts (ä, ö, ü, Istead there is something like Ã¼) and
other German-specific letters (ß) are not displayed correctliy,
even when I try to use another encodings (like ISO Latin 2, ISO Latin 4...).
This problem occured mainly on google.com
So I don't know if this is sort of a mixed problem - Google-Apple
Any suggestions?
System Information:
iMac 27'' 2011

Kind regards from Vienna, Austria,

Thanks! (Actually nothing is more important in a case like this than providing a url that lets someone else see exactly what you are seeing).
I can't duplicate your problem, so I do not think it is Google. Does Firefox work OK?

Google search box in Safari not displaying matches

Hello,
I just did the latest Software Update on both my MacBook Pro and iMac (the update was a new iTunes--version 10.3). I'm not sure why this is happening, but when I use the Google search box (located in the upper-right corner of the Safari window), I no longer see a list of possible matches to what I'm typing. Both of my computers now do not display them, yet it has always done this in the past.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or do you know what happened?
Thank you very much.

My guess is Google did something wrong, figured it out and fixed it. The suggestions feature went away in Safari for Google, but not for bing, and continued to work in Firefox. It is all fixed this morning. I happened to be using Google when it stopped functioning, it had nothing to do with updates to the Mac, since as it went south I restarted in an earlier Snow Leopard version and discovered it was not working there either. So it was a Google action that caused the mishap, nothing that Apple did. Anyway, all's well now.

Preview does not display pdf properly

I have OS X 10.5.8 and Preview 4.2. Preview will not display a bank statement properly. Most of the content is missing. I initially thought this was the bank's fault, but the pdf statement displays OK on my work Mac using Adobe Acrobat Professional. On Preview, howerver, at work (OS X 10.4) it also does not display properly.
Can anyone suggest a fix, or does Apple read these discussions...? Thanks. Graham

"Preview is meant for previewing PDFs generated by OSX applications for printing.
OSX uses its own code to generate and display PDFs, not Adobe's code.
Adobe has been adding features to its PDF code that is used by some non-Apple software.
PDFs generated by such software may not display correctly with Preview, but will work with the latest Adobe Reader."

So, download and install the latest free Adobe Reader on your home Mac for these statements.

Safari not displaying web site image

I have a website that is suddenly not displaying the header image in Safari and IE5.2.
I have my suspicions that it is due to a JavaScript from Google to run their Analytics programme which I installed a few days ago, (and will shortly remove it to confirm the suspicion or otherwise.)
But first I wish to check if other people are experiencing the same problem, or if it is localized to my computer. (Need to be able to inform Google if their script is the fault and affects all Safari users or only some versions. So please check the site and report results here, including your Safari version. Mine is Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.
The site is http://www.paintmaking.com
What I see in Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Camino is a flash title over a colored background with a photo.
Thats what I saw in Safari until recently too. But suddenly all I now see in Safari and IE is the flash title over a gray background, no photo, and above the menu bar a very thin strip of color (about 1mm, 1/16in). The sidebar images are unaffected (and those images at the side work fine in all the browsers), it is just the header.
Can you please tell me what you see and the browser version?
Tony

Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
Updates:
I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

Safari not displaying web pages correctly

I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly. For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful. Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.
