Safari not displaying texts on YouTube pages properly

Hi, I've been having this weird problem with Safari for almost two months now even before the 5.1.4 update. I even went to Apple Genius with my macbook pro and they said the problem is minor and should be fixed with the new update (5.1.4), but the problem still persists!
Basically, whenever I go on YouTube for EVERY/any video and click on the "more info" button to look at the information spread on videos, all the remaining texts and links are "invisible." I have to literally highlight everything in the information spread in order to permanently display the texts, links, etc after enlarging the information tab. I've tried updating everything (Safari--both 5.1.3 and 5.1.4, OSX, repairing disk permissions, etc) to NO AVAIL! It's so frustrating and annoying. I'm not that tech savvy, so I don't quite understand what kind of problem this applies to whether CSS, JAVA, Flash, or whatever else. A genius bar representative said it's not Flash (which I also updated and reinstalled a few times), since I can load and watch videos perfectly fine. He was able to reproduce the problem on one of the macbook airs at the store and that's when he said the problem should be fixed with the newest update. Obviously not. Please help me resolve this issue or at least, understand it. It's really frustrating. Chrome and other browsers work perfectly fine with YouTube on my MacBook as well.
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:

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 not displaying certain texts on YouTube pages properly

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Yes, he was able to reproduce it on a macbook air, but he never told me how or anything else. Just that it was a "minor" problem with codes and should be fixed with the newest update.
Also, I went to the Safari menu and the Style sheets set to none has always been set. I reset Safari as you said, and when I opened it again, it was really slow at loading any of my Top Sites (clicked on YouTube). Missing info spread (invisible) still persists...
I opened a guest account and the problem also occurs with Safari there, so I know this is a system wide glitch. I'm so close to erasing and reinstalling the OSX system out of frustration. (I have all my important files backed up so I dont actually mind doing this).

Safari will not display text

Why does Safari not display the main text section of the following web page? This happens with Safari for Mac and Windows. Obviously the site is done with a MS-compatible design tool. Is there an easy change that I can suggest to the site's webmaster or is there a 'plugin' that can be used by Safari to allow visibility?

Hi Barry,
It looks like it's just not coded too well: [Validation results from the W3C|http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aledo.k12.tx.us%2Fhsb%2F &charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0]
Firefox/Camino are more forgiving for bad code and the sites works with these browsers.

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

Safari unable to render some YouTube pages

I have Safari 5.1.2.
Safari is suddenly unable to render some pages over at YouTube. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCBBv9LVGmc. Safari seems to start loading the page, then starts all over, and then starts all over ... and then finally I get this message: "Safari can't display this webpage. Safari has repeatedly encountered an error ..." I also get the same problem and message when I go to this page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBrsM_WlfV8.
This does not happen with every YouTube page. Just some.
I have closed and reopened Safari. I have cleared the cache. Same problem. I have also uninstalled the Click to Flash extension. Same problem. Curiously, I do not have a problem with the page when I use my Camino browser.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any solutions?
TIA.

Updated to the latest revision. Firefox will not display my chosen home page without clicking on home icon.

Since latest update...Firefox will not allow a new page to be opened from a link in a current page. It will allow a new tab to be opened (with tabbed browsing checked) but i prefer a new page. Even in tabbed browsing links to things like a pdf will not work at all.
Firefox WILL NOT close. X-ing out will close the window but I can not get back to Firefox without closing it in task manager.
Firefox will not display my chosen home page without clicking on home icon.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

No on the book title, no problem there.
The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
Thanks for getting back to me.

BPS Variable-Cost Element is not displaying Text

Dear Team,
We have a peculiar issue one of the BPS Variable defined for Cost Element is not displaying text in one of the Planning Layouts.
Another variable is displaying text in another layout.
Surprisingly...when I reused the old variable in the new layout it is also not displaying the text.
Am I missing something....appreciated your quick support.
Thanks & Best Regards
Srinivas

Have you check the layout Lead-Column setting? Is it set to 'Key/Description'?

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 4.0.3 not displaying text correctly

Hi all, I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (along with everyone else) and ever since certain code will NOT display correctly.
This is what is displayed by safari when viewing text from a "code" tag.
http://i32.tinypic.com/15qyt5i.png
This is what is supposed to be displayed: (as viewed on firefox)
http://i28.tinypic.com/4zzxps.png
I have tried troubleshooting and fixing this problem by reinstalling both Safari 4, and Snow leopard to no avail, I have also verified and repaired permissions.
Note that not ALL text is displayed incorrectly, this is the rest of the page as displayed by Safari:

SOLUTION FOUND!
I searched the forums and found our solution here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2132585&tstart=120
Basically, go to your Applications and open Font Book. If this is the case, you have two sets of Courier running. Scroll down to where Courier is and click the drop down triangle to see it's different styles. I then sort of just guessed and checked this next move but it did the trick. Find the Courier Regular that does NOT give a sample display of our beloved ABCs. Right click that "bad" version of Courier Regular and choose the Remove or Delete Option and verify with an OK. It should get rid of all the bad versions and the warning triangles. Try out a page in Safari and it should look as good as any other browser now.

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.
The following is in the Safari > View menu --

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.
