Safari sometimes sends me to a mobile version of a site when I'm on my G5

Thanks to this board, I have Safari up and running again. (Thanks!)
However, sometimes I end up on a mobile version of a site for no apparent reason. I've read that it may be due to my User Agent which currently looks like this:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 1058; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.3 Safari/533.19.4
This doesn't happen on all sites, but does happen on the same sites every time. Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks

Hi Tyler
your UA looks fine, although a few sites do fail to recognise PPC macs properly... so if you change yours in Safari- Develop -User Agent- Other (alter PPC to Intel), you know that's why.
Otherwise, delete the cookies for those sites in Safari-Preferences-Security - Show Cookies

Is it possible to apply a rule so when scaled the boxes reorder to show red, black, red, black, red, black?

How do I create a mobile version of a site that is based on scroll effects and a slideshow background?

I need to create a mobile version for a site that is based on scroll effects and a slideshow background.
Is it possible to copy the format from the desktop version without re-designing all the elements?

Hi
Different renditions will use require the page elements to be optimized accordingly.
So you can surely copy the page elements and paste in phone or tablet layout , but you would need to modify them.
Thanks,
Sanjit

I'm working on CC 2014 on a mobile version of a site, having trouble with order of layers and links not working.

I'm working on CC 2014 on a mobile version of a site, my links on layers that are below the top layer (call menu) are not working. If I move the layers above the menu layers the links work, but then the menu appears under the graphic and other elements on the site.

I'm having this issue right now. I would LOVE some help. Did you get it figured out?

Mobile version of muse site hosted through BC has quit working

For some reason after republishing a site for a client today, the mobile version has quit working. When I google search the site on my phone the address shows up as humanity.tv/phone/index.html which is correct but after you select it the safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found message comes up. Desktop and tablet version are working fine. Humanity.tv is the address.

I keep being redirected to mobile versions of most sites even though I'm using my desktop...Help!

For some reason recently, my computer has decided that I'm always using a mobile device and I keep getting redirected to mobile versions of websites. I do use my phone to broadcast a wifi hotspot but I had been using it for months with no issue to the webpages until just a few weeks ago. Most times I can go to the bottom of the page and change it back to desktop but it never keeps it that way. I have run into the issue with my yahoo and aol mail where the mail page won't load at all so I can't change it to desktop nor can I see my mail. I can't figure out how to stop this from happening and it's becoming increasingly frustrating to not be able to view my mail on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

The mobile version of my site not working when Published.

The desktop version works fine and the mobile version seems to be working fine in Muse in both preview and browser preview.
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
/Fredrik

Thanks for your response Zak and my apologies for the delay in responding. I tried the site on a smart phone yesterday and the mobile version came up and it worked perfectly including the email and phone links. I don't have a tablet other than an Acer Iconia B1 and at the moment I'm presuming it'll bring up the correct version on a tablet that has better definition.
At the moment the site is hosted as a temporary test site on Business Catalyst. "Universal Redirect" was already selected at the time of my original query. The previous version of the site which this will supercede (not Muse and done a few years ago) is at present hosted by a different company but I want to change host to Business Catalyst as this seems to make sense and I can take advantage of the hosting credit.

Why is Photobucket is re-directing me to the mobile version of their site, not the desktop version - only since updating to FF v7.0.1 and not an issue in Safari. NB running on MAC OSX 10.5.8.

Firefox automatically re-directs to m.photobucket.com/albums/aardvark_1964
Only affects Firefox since updating to v7.0.1. NB Safari is unaffected on the same machine.
Have flushed the cache, reset JS, etc etc.

Hi Bart,
I also found a real easy way to clean out Finder in this link:
http://lifehacker.com/308898/clean-up-finders-open-with-menu
The MacApper weblog details how to clean out Finder's Open With menu so that uninstalled and duplicate applications don't bog down the list of apps you want to use.
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices
and trash it (you can back it up if you want)
If you want to get even more granular with your Open With Menu, check out this link:

I have created a phone mobile version of a site. I was hoping it would enlarge with the spreading fingers gesture, but it does not.

I made the text in a phone version in a larger font size than the desktop version. But some may need to enlarge it further. I was hoping that would be possible, as it is when you view a desktop version on the phone. Is this not a capability in Muse?
As I went through Muse 'sites of the day,' most sites were not expandable on the phone. However, themarketaustin.com and movingcolour.tv are expandable. What is the trick to this? I have a disappointed client who was expecting this capability.

Try adding this at this line in the head of all your html pages:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=10.0,user-scalable=1">
user-scalable is the one that is important for you.
More info: Viewport Meta Tag For Non-Responsive Design
width=device-width
this means we are telling to the browser “my website adapts to your device width”
Initial-scale
This define scale the website, This parameter sets the initial zoom level, which means if 1 CSS pixel is equal to 1 view port pixel. This parameter help to when you changing orientation mode, or preventing a default zooming. without this parameter responsive site work.
Maximum-scale
Maximum-scale define maximum zoom. When you access website top priority is maximum-scale=1 won’t allow the user to zoom.
Minimum-scale
Minimum-scale define minimum zoom. this work same as above but define minimum scale. If you not define this its work without using this is useful when maximum scale is large and you want to set minimum scale that time you can use.
User-scalable
User-scalable assign 1.0 means website allow to zoom in or zoom out.
But if you assign User-scalable=no its means website not allow to zoom in or zoom out.

Firefox on iMac keeps defaulting to mobile version of web sites - i want the full desktop version of web site - how do i set this up?

Question says it all - i've gone all through settings and can find nothing that looks like it will allow a choice

hey,
Type '''about:config''' in address bar and hit enter.
A page will open which has a search box at top, in that box type '''network.http.accept.default''' and when that option appears below '''Right click on it and choose the option reset'''.
If this doesn't solve your problem you can additional view the link below or get back to us.

Mobile version sites

hello,
i'm just curious if there's a way to stop being directed to a mobile version of a site when browsing on the iphone? since the internet on the iphone is typically good enough to use the full desktop site i would like to avoid being automatically redirected to the mobile version and then having to spend time figuring out how to load the desktop version. is there a way or do i have to deal with it on a site by site basis? thank you.
rick

Welcome Menneisyys! I remember you (and your mobile expertise) from my days at Aximsite. Unfortunately, the iPhone has replaced my trusty X51v. The iPhone is not as versatile in some ways but it suits my life just fine. Beats carrying two devices around. Did you get the 3GS?

Mac Safari open website in mobile version sometimes, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it

Sometimes Mac Safari open website in mobile version, such as GoogleTranslate. How to solve it?
I use iPhone and iPad as well, but I never open google translate page using safari both on iPhone and iPad. Just use the GoogleTranslate App sometimes.
Why does my Mac Safari open google translate page in mobile version for no reason?

If you use iCloud to synchronize Safari with a mobile device, you may be opening a bookmark to the mobile version of the site. Another possibility is that you're getting a Handoff activity from the device.
Remove everything from the URL except the domain name and try again. For instance, if the URL is something like this:
http://www.example.com/mobile
or
http://mobile.example.com
change it to this:
http://www.example.com

Mobile version on mac lion's safari

Safari always brings me to Google mobile version, the New York Times mobile version, but many other sites are normal. What's wrong?

No guarantees but give this a try...
Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Enable the Develop menu.
Now from the Safari menu bar click Develop / User Agent. Try 5.0.6.
