Safari shows parts of previously visited apps/websites/programs instead of normal background of some websites

Can someone please help me with this problem?
Parts of websites/programs/apps I previously opened show in the background of safari instead of the normal background of the website. It only happens at some of the websites I visit. Is it an error in the website or in safari?
Thnx!

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
 ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/com.apple.WebProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari again. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with Safari. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A folder should open. Delete the following items from the folder, if they exist:
com.apple.Safari
Anything with a name that begins "com.apple.Web"
Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Safari.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.Extensions.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
SyncedPreferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Here, * stands for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Note 1: You are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”
Note 2: This step will remove your Safari extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to reinstall them, do so one at a time, testing each time to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
Try again. Your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks...
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

  • Ipad 2 shows 'shadows' from previous open apps

    When I close an app after using it for a while, I still can see that it leaves 'shadows' on the screen.

    I don't know if you can see it.. but the white area where you type the websites URLs are still visible even at the homescreen, after I closed the app

    I've recently just noticed I've got the same issue, im pretty sure it wasn't there before as I would have noticed it, but this is the first time I've see it. It does seem to fade away after a while. But would like to know what the problem is. Doesn't seem to be any answers or related issues online anywhere either
    Anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it?

  • Boxes with numbers and letters show instead of certain images on some websites

    On yammer.com and linkedin.com, images for icons, like those that should display along the top of the screen do not display. Instead, I see a rectangle with numbers and letters. I've seen quite a few articles about the rectangles with numbers and letters that apply to characters but none involving images. I've also tried the steps in the article on troubleshooting images not displaying properly, and nothing seems to work.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover. Some websites show errors when debug is on. But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover and is frozen. Some websites show errors when debug is on.
    But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    Here are a couple suggestions:
    1.  Go into Settings > Safari and Clear Cookies Clear Cache
    2.  Fully close Safari:  from your home screen, double tap your home button and the most recently used Apps will show up.  Hold your finger on the Safari App until all Apps start jiggling.  You'll see a minus sign on the upper left side of Safari.  Touch the minus and Safari will fully close.  Touch your home button again to stop apps from jiggline, then touch your home button again to return to your home page.
    3.  Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart, but no data or settings will be lost.
    After iPad comes back up, try Safari again, and you should be good to go.

  • Previous visited sites no longer saved...I have no history!

    Hello...I'm running Lion and have all the updates installed.
    Lots of issues post-latest migration (from Snow to Lion) but this one is about my Safari no longer remembering previously visited sites, etc.
    In other words, my history is always reset each time I close safari.  At each new launch I have to retype URL's in their entirety.
    Passwords and userID's are fine and populate properly, but not my history.
    Help?
    Thanks!

    You still have permission problems in your home folder.
    Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if not already selected.
    Under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs”, click the “Reset” button.
    Select Apple menu > Restart from the menu bar.

  • Could AppStore indicate previously used apps to remove ambiguity

    Occasionally, I'll find I'm not using an app, or have to reinstall an app to restore functionality.
    I head to the AppStore and there's no indication alongside an app listed whether I've downloaded it before - i.e. it'll be free to re-download, or if it'll be a paid for download.
    For examples, I know I had a German-English dictionary, so I search for "German Dictionary". From the results which one did I own before? Was it 'German Dictionary (£1.19), 'German-English...' (£11.99), 'German-English Di...' (£1.19)
    Now with so many similarly named apps it would be great if instead of "Buy Now" or £1.19, the AppStore said "Reinstall Now" or "Free".
    I think my iTunes would show me the previously installed Apps but I'm not always able to get to the PC and don't always have the time required to connect up and get iTunes to play ball.
    Am I missing an easy way to spot the apps I've had before or is it just something that could, possibly even should, be in AppStore?

    Hi. Thanks for that. I'm sorry I just reread my post and realised it's not clear that I meant apps I have removed but then wish to reinstall as opposed to apps I have installed currently.
    My fault (and in a thread about ambiguity too - I should be shot!)
    So if I have an app, delete it, but then want it again I'm in danger of buying a similar app instead of the one I technically already own. It sounds trivial but after I got a replacement phone I nearly spent another £24.99 on the wrong CoPilot darned purely because I couldn't recall exactly which variation of the app I had before.

  • Make Safari bookmark show up like an iPhone app?

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to make an Safari bookmark show up like an iPhone app? I'd like to set up a screen of just my very favorite bookmarks with their icons being the sites favicon. This would be a lot easier than going into Safari, open, a new page, and traverse to the desired bookmarks.
    Any info will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    With the website available that you want to create a web clip for - to appear as an icon on your iPhone's Home screen just like an app for faster access, at the bottom of the page select the + icon.

  • IPhone Safari shows cell borders on my website homepage.

    Hi, I design my own website in Dreamweaver (dw) CS3 and I've already posted this in the DW forum because I certainly allow that this is possibly due to my lackluster knowledge of CSS.
    iPhone's Safari shows all the cell borders of a table that is part of my homepage design. See http://www.frankbright.com/index3.htm
    But the thing is, ONLY the iPhone shows the cell borders of my homepage. I've tested this page with Windows Vista (IE on a laptop), Linux (firefox), and Mac (Safari on an iMac) browsers. NONE of them show the cell borders. Only the iPhone does.
    So I thought I'd try this forum. Is there a setting I should know about? I appreciate any help on this.
    Many Thanks, Frank B.

  • HT201272 Why aren't my previously purchased apps showing up in the purchased tab of the app store on my new ipad?  I used the same ID as my old ipad.

    I sold my original ipad and bought an ipad 2.  I wasn't worried about losing all of the apps I had previously purchased/downloaded, because I knew that the app store has a "purchased" tab, from which you can download previously downloaded apps.  I set up my new ipad 2 with the same app store ID.  I went to the purchased tab, the loading circle went on for awhile then went away, but no apps showed up.  What's the problem?
    I would be really upset if I lost all of the apps I previously paid for or downloaded (probably about 80 or so), seeing as how the app store is supposed to remember my purchase/download history based upon the user ID.

    Go to "Settings > iTunes and App Stores", touch the AppleID, sign out, and then sign in with your revised AppleID.

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Firefox unable to connect: bookmarked or previously visited websites connect, and some others, but new links or even pasted or typed in addresses don't, mac os10.5

    Hello.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

    My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
    Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
    The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
    What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

  • HT201272 Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section.  Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? Please help!!

    Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section.  Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!!  Please help!!

    Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
    I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.
