Safari partially covered pages

the safari top bar partially covers websites, it is not a zoom issue because i've tried zooming in and out with no change, it happens in every single website, even while opening a new tab with the top sites.
Not only is it pretty annoying but it covers certain buttons/links and i can't use them

That just makes it harder for us to help you.
I did this and the first news article I read the same situation.
That's not good news. That indicates a system wide issue.
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

  • Safari partially opens pages

    I upgraded to the newest version of Safari and ever since I have had problems fully opening some web pages. As example I go to "http://www.cbc.ca/news/" to read news stories. Most articles have the story and at the bottom a section where readers comments on the story. Quite often the page will load without the readers comments. Hitting refresh a few times will eventually load the readers comments. Also on Ebay Safari seems to take a long time loading the first page, something near the top loads blank and after a few seconds it moves all the listings up to fill that area. I never experienced these problems until upgrading to Safari 5.02.
    Thanks

    Hi Demo,
    Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
    I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
    My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
    The iPad is first generation
    OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
    Thank you in advance for your time

    I have an iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.3. When I go to the landscape view in Safari, the bookmark page appears and takes up one half of the screen. How can I get rid of the bookmark page so I can use the whole screen to what I am browsing?

    OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • When trying to update app I get a message saying " Safari cannot open page because address is invalid" help! I use iPad 1. Thank you.

    I have the iPad basic first edition. For some reason my app store app is missing. On my games when I tried to update the apps I get a message that says safari cannot open page because address is invalid, but this happens even when I click directly on the prompt message that comes up when loading game. Also, it seems that my app store app has been deleted? I don't know how to get it back. When I try to download it I get the same safari message as afore mentioned.

    Swipe to seethe farthest home screen to the left. Type in App Store in the search box and see if the app may have been accidentally placed into a folder with another app.
    You cannot download apps using Safari.

  • Safari start up page won't display

    Safari start up page try's opening multiple times and finally says it can't display web page. It has repeatedly encountered an error while trying to display. You can then go to yahoo.com, YouTube, google, whatever you want. It want open apple.com though. I have reset my safari. I have safari 5.1.7.    I try to run my disk utilities and a min into repairing disk utilities, an error occur's and doesn't finish.repairing.. I've went into system preferences, network, advanced, and then into proxies and nothing is checked in there except for the use of passive FTP Mode. Can any one help me out?

    I ran the hardware test on the Application's DVD and within 3 sec's of running it, it came back with a code of 4MEM/4/40000000:0xa9f7a118.  I know the MEM codes have something to do with memory. I've had our computer in 2 different times at Geeksquad. They've sent it off and replaced the hard drive on one occasion and the mother board on the other occasion. I keep telling them that it's probably the RAM, but the headquarters where they send it to keep's saying that in all there check's they've done, the RAM is fine. Everytime before they've sent my mac off i've had a chance to run the hardware test and gotten a 4MEM code back each time before these parts were replaced. Before the 1st replacement (hard drive) was replaced the code was 4MEM/4/40000000:0xa9f75e98.  The 2cd replacement (mother board) the code was 4MEM/4/40000000:0xa9f75f18.    Whatever the problem is, it looks like it's coming from the same place just looking at the code. This is been going on since the middle of Feb of this year.

  • Using Dreamweaver to edit *partial* web page (chunks of HTML code)?

    Hello,
    I am using a custom PHP framework to build a website.
    This framework is quite simple, it relies on 2 types of files:
    Templates: site-wide PHP/HTML files including all the logic, HTML header (links to CSS & JS files), Company logo HTML menus & related navigation code, searchbox, footer etc. Only 2 templates exist: one for the homepage, another one for all the other pages.
    "content files": these files contain mostly static HTML code. Content files are imported by the PHP template using PHP's include() function.
    As content files are inserted within a global HTML page, these only  contain chunks of HTML code: no tags such as "head" "body".
    On the attached PNG, the green part is the code from the template, the red part is the code from the "content file".
    A typical template file would be:
              <html>
                <head>
                  (load CSS files, JS files...)
                </head>
                <body>
                  (HTML headers & menus)
                  <?php include($content_file); ?> <!-- Includes partial HTML file with page content -->
                  (HTML footer)
                </body>
              </html>
    A typical content file would be:
              <h1>TITLE</h1>
              <h2>subtitle</h2>
              <p>Lorem ipsum<img src=""  class="myimg" /></p>
              <h2>subitle</h2>
              <p>Lorem  ipsum</p>
    Templates are NOT editable by users.
    Content files are editable by users, using Dreamweaver.
    The problem is, users cannot edit those content files since it is not a valid HTML page. The CSS required to enforce the styles are not loaded since HTML headers are not present. It looks ugly and Dreamweaver tries to insert standard HTML tags such as <html>, <body> and so on.
    I see 2 hypothesis, but I cannot find an answer in the Dreamweaver documentation:
    have DW edit the content files alone, in which cas we would need to tell DW that it is editing a partial web page and not a full one
    have DW edit the content file while applying the PHP template, in which case we would need to tell DW that is should discard most of the code and save only the "content file"
    Hypothesis 1: Standalone edit of content files. Is there a way to tell Dreamweaver
    that it is editing a partial HTML file,
    that it needs to load additional CSS stylesheet to display the styles
    that it should not insert standard HTML body and headers tags, that we know the page is not standard compliant as-is
    that creating additional style is forbidden, it is only allowed to use styles defined in the stylsheet
    Hypothesis 2: Edit of content files within the template. is there a way to tell Dreamweaver
    that it is should add HTML code from the template before and after the loaded "content file"
    that when saving the "content file" it should discard all HTML/PHP code from the template, saving only the content itself
    that creating additional style is forbidden, it is only allowed to use  styles defined in the stylsheet
    I cannot believe noone has been faced with this problem before, the fact is I cannot find any answer about this issue.
    Best Regards,
    M

    I have moved this thread to the Dreamweaver Application Development forum, which deals with PHP and similar issues.
    Several things spring to mind.
    Do your template files have a standard .html file name extension? If so, you could add .html to the file types that Dreamweaver does not automatically rewrite. Select Code Rewriting in the Preferences panel, and add .html to the list of files in "Never rewrite code".
    If your template files use a file name extension not recognized by DW, add them to the list using the instructions in http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_16410_en-us. You might also need to add them to the list of files that DW doesn't rewrite.
    To get access to styles in pages that are composed of fragments, use Design Time Style Sheets. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7e17a .html.

  • Partially blank pages in IE7 and IE8

    OS = XP 32 bit
    Browser = IE7
    Flash version = 10.1.102.64
    I was getting partially blank pages in IE8.  I unistalled it and installed IE7 and I got the same results.  I unistalled flash player and reinstalled I still have the same issue.  I get no error messages when I installed flash but it doesn't appear to be working.

    I had several other issues that were resloved once I ran the "secedit" command.  I didn't bring these other issues up since I didn't think they were realated.  The other issues were:  I couln't open WMP, and I couldn't  open " Help and Support".  I also tried to put IE8 back on my computer but the installed failed.  Once I ran the "scedit" command and registered the listed dll's, ALL of my isues were resolved.  No more blank web pages, I was able to open WMP and Help and Support, and I was able to upgrade to IE8.
    Also before running the "scedit" command I got error messages when I tried to register the dll's that I mentioned.  The dll's weren't missing, they just weren't registered.
    Uninstall and reinstall did nothing for me.  Niether did the vs 9 method.
    Thanks for all your help.  I hope the resolution I found can help others too.

  • Safari hangs on page loading

    Hi all:
    Recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 now on Safari 5.1.3, It loads fairly well on most anything, but there are certain pages that it hangs and never completes loading on 2 or 3 specific and particular pages, that I never had a problem to load with previous version of Safari.
    These pages never load up and they are always the same, they end up in a never ending attempt to load. They use to load before with no problems
    I've trashed out the Safari cache multiple times with no results.
    Any ideas???
    Thank You.
    AppleLou

    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.
    As Guest, test. 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.
    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 some 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.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • When I first start up computer and click on Safari, a blank page appears. I am trying to make MY MSN as the opening page. How do I do this? Thanks for any help.

    When I first turn on my computer and click Safari, a blank page appears. I use to have MY MSN as the opening page on Safari.

  • Safari 6.0 page zooms in (even if I'm not touching the mouse) how do I zoom back out?

    Safari 6.0 page zooms in (even if I'm not touching the mouse) how do I zoom back out?

    I turned off zoom in sys pref so hopefully that will help… but when it zooms in huge "on its own" you have to use the back button to go back to normal size as the double tap doesn't work but half the time the back button is greyed out so you have to close the window and start all over which is a pain in the … so why is my back button doing this. It will do this on a page that I used the backbutton on previously?

  • Safari stops scrolling pages

    Since recently upgrading safari and of course the OS to Mountain LIon, I have discovered a quite serious bug.
    Randomly safari stops scrolling pages. This has so far happened 3 times in the last week or so. You can open/close/view pages, but even though the scrollbar is present it won't scroll. I cannot use my mouse wheel, or click in the scrollbar or use the space bar, page down key or even search the web page to force it move down.
    The site I visit doesn't initiate the issue, it can be any website. The issue appears to be quite random, the only way to fix the issues is to close the browser and start it again.
    I have currently 2 extensions running in Safari, Ultimate statusbar and Awesome screen grab., I am going to proceed to remove both to test if this fixes the problem.
    However this is very frustrating as this has never been a problem in other version of Safari to date. I had to complete this question in Google Chrome, as of course I couldn't scroll to tee bottom of the page in safari!

    Try resetting and clearing the cache more often.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:  Clear History  (also empties the cache)
    Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
    If that didn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy / paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
