Safari page load problems and 10.5.3

Since I have upgraded to 10.5.3, I am experiencing Safari page load problems on all my user accounts on my 2.0 GHz Core Duo Black MacBook. I have reviewed threads in this forum and that of the Safari forum with no solution that solves the problem. so I post here in hopes of additional expert solution ideas.
*The Problem:* Since upgrading to 10.5.3 Safari fails to complete page downloads for some, but not all websites. When these same websites are accessed with Firefox there is no problem. With Safari the page load will stop at about 75% completion, or the page will not load at all.
Here is an example of a webpage that will not complete: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/
Here is an example of a webpage that will not load at all: http://cherylsguitar.com/site (my wife's business)
I also have a G4 iMac running 10.4.11 on the same WiFi network that does NOT experience the Safari page load problems. All is good and speedy on this trusty machine.
*Solutions Attempted:*
- Deleted plist (with no effect)
- Re-installed Safari from Leopard disk (with no effect)
- Scoured User Preferences in Library for offending applications, plug-ins, etc.
- Reset PRAM
- Reset and examined cable modem and router (AirPort Extreme 802.11g)
*Hardware and Network info:*
- 2.0 GHz Core Duo Black MacBook
- 2 GB Ram
- AirPort Extreme Base Station (generation 1) running 802.11g

Hi Perry Lehman;
Have you cleared out your cookies?

Allan,
Yes. I have reset Safari clearing all but website icons with no effect. I also tried turning of the Safari pop-up blocker with some very limited success. Disabling pop-up blocker will marginally help page load speed for some websites, but others still fail to load at all.
Thanks for taking time to post.

  • Safari pages are darkened and unresponsive. Internet is fine. Syncing with MacBook did not solve problem. Everything else works fine.

    Safari pages are darkened and unresponsive. Internet works fine. Syncing to MacBook didn't help. Everything else works fine, including a different browser and apps that use the internet. Safari responds to searches and bookmark changes, but pages are not clickable. Help, please.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Also have you cleared the cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History). Also, if your equipment list is correct, you update to 4.3.3

  • Macbook Pro/Mozill​a Firefox --Page Loading Problems

    I experience 'page loading' problems when going from one page to another. Sometimes the page takes a long time to load. Sometimes it times out and never does load.
    Does anyone else with this combination of laptop and browser experience these problems? Any suggestions for overcoming this lag?

    I know OS X used to have some problems with the way some routers do DNS.  There was this topic a while ago:
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/DL-page​-load-speed-great-but-browser-quot-looking-up-quot​...
    For our Mac we had to set the router to send external IP addresses of a DNS system (either verizon's or something like OpenDNS which we use).
    You could manually change the DNS settings on the Mac to see if that fixes the problem and then you could mac the change the settings at the router level if you like.

  • Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery

    Partial page load problem when using Muse in an existing non-Muse Masterpage; how to issue a jquery args.get_isPartialLoad().
    My page is loaded into a palcehold within the Ajax update panel within the current Masterpage, so page loadload doesn't occur. But if my Muse page can capture  the partial pageload then I can tell jquery to run the Muse formating routine.

    Jackie,  I am having the same issue and agree that it obscures our site analytics.
    I only have the "WebMarketing" subscription - so I cannot see how often people visit my site (unless I just dont know how to view that).  Here is a screen shot of how many different locations I have and how much it affects my site visitor count based on the other locations which seem "legit" because they have more page views than visits.
    I hope there is a way to fix or block this.

  • The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands.  I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-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 to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is 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.

  • Safari Page Loaded

    I've read others here and have tried the
    "do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1" loop.
    The problem is I get a complete return before the page is done. I seem to get it when the connection is made not when the page is completely loaded,
    I'm not up on Java or html but I think it uses a "Active Server Page". It has .aspx? followed by a long line of key numbers.
    Is there a way or different term other than "complete' for the line of java that will make it wait until the page is done. Delay in the script just won't work as the page may take a couple to many seconds to load.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Marshall

    I use this arrangement:
    in the main script - to pause until the page is loaded:
    If my page_loaded(50) ...
    and then the subroutine:
    on pageloaded(timeoutvalue)
    delay 5
    tell application "Safari"
    repeat with i from 1 to the timeout_value
    If (do Javascript "document.readyState"in document 1) is "complete" then return true
    delay 1
    end repeat
    end tell
    return false
    end page_loaded
    This works most of the time, but I have observed problems when my PowerBook is overloaded - or there's heavy network activity - when it seems that the document readystate tests true halfway thru the actual page load. This is for no apparent reason other than these loads and almost seems as though Safari might be 'giving up' and changing the readystate precipitately! You could try testing for "loaded" as well to see if that helps.

  • Same, unwanted old Safari page loading for months

    iPad 3, 7.1.2. Private browsing. History and cookies/cache cleared after every session. Not using any other device that talks to this iPad. Connected via wifi.
    Problem: On Safari launch, the same page either flash appears or stays on til something else is selected. Also the same page appears after opening a mail link URL. The page appears only some of the time and has been appearing for at least six months. Part of its URL is videos.android...
    Question: how to stop this?
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Some routers are better than others on a Mac. It's all about the firmware and the degree of compatibility built into it by the developer. Make sure you have the latest Netgear firmware installed on the router. Check the support page on Netgear's site.
    Also, in the Netgear Router preference panel, add these DNS server codes, which may facilitate the page loading on the Mac - 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222. There are OpenDNS codes, which have been shown to be much more efficient for Safari than those used by Internet Providers.

  • Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

    Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
    The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
    Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
    Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
    and see for yourself what happends.

    I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End  Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
    stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
    In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
    In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
    In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
    All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
    I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.

  • Safari tab loading problem..

    Lately, and intermittently, when I open a new blank tab, the page loads nothing (no "Top Sites"). If I click any bookmarks or type in any google search/URL, the page will load in the first tab (leaving the former page) and leaving the recent tab untitled and empty still.
    Anyone get this before?

    Lately, and intermittently, when I open a new blank tab, the page loads nothing (no "Top Sites").
    That's to be expected if you haven't selected anything to open in a new Tab except a blank page. If you actually wanted to open Top Sites in every new Tab, you'd have to select that from the General preferences tab of Safari.>If I click any bookmarks or type in any google search/URL, the page will load in the first tab (leaving the former page) and leaving the recent tab untitled and empty still.

    Perfectly normal, considering your preferences are also probably set to not make the new Tab the active Tab. You can set that in the Tabs section of Safari preferences by selecting the top two checkboxes.

  • Web page load problem on iOS 6

    I have recently upgraded iPhone and iPad to iOS 6 and found certian problems while serving some of the website. furhter I did little analysis and found some secure sites which are using
    frames and calling external url in sided the frame  are have problem. I have noticed that left navigation which is part of main frame is coming properly while page load and when response is rendering from
    external call in body section of same frame, it overlaps previous rendered output. Further in one website which was use two external call had same behaviour that once one response is rendered its showing in web page but after rendering of response from another page
    It overlaps perious response.
    I had tried websites in different browsers and got same behaviour. I checked other versions and did not encountered this behaviour in iPhone 5, iPad 2, and iPhone 4s.

    I am having the same problem hopefully it gets fixed
    will check back here for a fix if you find one!

  • I have just downloaded the latest version and some sites are part loading then taking ages to complete the page load. why and can you or I do anything about it please.

    latest version loads the main banner of page then takes too much time loading the content of page > I have even had to stop the page loading and refresh before it will load properly> I did not experience this before installing the latest version the pages used to load insantaneously. I am not the only one experiencing this as my friend has reverted back to explorer.
    Please can you do something about this.

    It could be caused by a Firewall. Disable your internet security and then see if QT will open.
    Are you an administrator account? It could be a permissions issue. Open the User Accounts control panel to see what type of account you have. Open the QT control panel to File Types. Does it show programmatically set? If so that will indicate permissions have been set by an administator.
    Also are there too many applications running at once or loading at start up? Look down at the bottom right corner of the screen, is it loaded with icons? If so close them all out and stop them from running at start up, then see if QT will open. The only application that should load at start up is your internet security and maybe volume control, anything else you can open as needed.
    If none of the above is a solution than I can help you uninstall QT and install, if so what version of QT is on the computer now. Open the QT control panel and click on About QuickTime

  • Can someone please help me with this. Loading problems and error codes.

    I have several problems with itunes on my PC. I use 2 PC's and Iphone for work and I have an IPod nano. For about a week I have been having several problems with Itunes. The first problem is I cannot access the store, I get the loading screen and that is it. This screen lasts forever, nothing ever happens it just loads, and loads, and loads. . . .
    I try to sign in thinking that will help the loading issue and I get error message saying "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)." This happens on both computers. I also cannot download from my iphone, I get the same error message. Running diagnostics does nothing, itunes says everything is in working order. Uninstalling and reinstalling also does nothing. I have had itunes for years now and up until about 10 days ago had no problems. My itunes is not behind a firewall on either computer. I'm saying all of this because I would prefer not to get obvious answers or links that do not help me. Please someone has to know how to fix this.

  • OS X Tiger Loading Problem and Monitor Question

    Ok guys, I have two questions for you Mac Experts.
    1. Yesterday, I was trying to load OS X Tiger, from CD onto my 400mhz Rev.2 Power Mac and I tried it about 5-9 times, and it kept giving me an error message saying that installation failed, or "Hold the power button, and hit reset". I took the hard drive out, put it in my slot loader iMac, and loaded up tiger onto that just fine, with no problems. So, it's not the CD's or the hard drive. The funny thing is that when i put the hard drive back into my power mac, it runs just fine. No problems. Do you think it is the CD Drive or what? Maybe a Logic Board Problem?
    2. I just picked up a Flat Screen iMac 1st gen. I was wondering if there was a cable that I could use to connect the iMac to my Power Mac and use the iMac as a screen for my Power Mac. The guy at the electronics store showed me some mac adaptor that would fit into my iMac, and that had a serial port at the end. Could i connect that serial end, into the serial port of my Power Mac and have it read as a monitor? If this is possible, that would be great. If not, i will stop being a cheap skate, and buckle down and purchase a flat screen monitor. Any help would be great.

    Ok, let me see if this helps any.
    I downloaded Dimm Memory check thing that you said, it it shows that all of my RAM is ok. All of my RAM is either pc 100 or pc 133, so no issues there.
    I downloaded the most up to date firmware, and i said that my firmware is up to date. Dont know if loading it made it up to date, or if it already was.
    The video card is the origial Rage 128 or something. Whatever came with the Power Mac, is in there.
    I was just downloading updateds in tiger, and got that stupid error message to hold the power, and restart. I am going to try this machine now in tiger, and get back to you.
    Also thanks for the link about the iMac Flat Screen. I will look into it.
