Safari Stalls on SOME pages - loading ads?

I moved an Intel Mini from an Airport network to an ethernet connection on the same network. Safari now has issues loading SOME but not all web pages. One page with a problem is www.macrumors.com - the content on the page loads but Safari stalls, apparently trying to load all the ads.
The stall makes it impossible to use Safari, and needs to be "force quit".
Other ethernet-connected Macs have no issues.
I've done the usual troubleshooting; DNS, disabling DNS prefetching, etc. but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

I have tried all of these solutions and find that at times nothing resolves the problem with Safari stalling except for switching from wi-fi to another connection method.   This is happening on different networks(routers) and is resolved if I disable wi-fi and connect via another means.    My 6 year old OS-X on a 11 yr. MacBook pro never has any issues and is ALWAYS 3 times faster than the new Safari runs on a much more powerful machine running on the same wi-fi network.   Wish I could switch back to the older Safari.
Here is my story:
When Yosemite came out I installed it (and have applied all available patches) on my MacBook Pro,MacBook Air and 2 IPhones and now having problem with Safari stalling at 25% load progress point in webpage download at a fairly high frequency.    YOSEMITE REALLY ***** -- need to now figure out how to the MAVERICKS installed.
Meanwhile, I have another MacBook Pro - 11 Yr. old and 6 yr. old Safari and it is rock solid reliable and on average it's 3 times faster in loading (when compared to YOSEMITE when it's working that is).      As a result,   I had to download anothe r browser and as you would expect, I am not having these problems with anothe r browser.
Avoid YOSEMITE is you care an ounce about have a reliable Safari browser.
Thanks for wasting my time Apple -- now I got the hours/hours of trying to reload 4 devices with MAVERICKS.
I believe the issue has to do with using Safari via a Wi-Fi connection as when I turn on Wi-Fi on the Iphone's the problem seems to be resolved.     Unfortunately it's not an easy option to disable Wi-Fi on the MacBook Pro's/Air as it wouldn't be much fun to connect up with an ethernet cable.    It's not the Wi-Fi connection itself as it happens on all Routers in multiple locations and the 11 yr. old MB running 6 yr old Safari doesn't have the same problem.

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Safari bizarre bug: web page loading but not rendering

Discovered a very bizarre behavior in Safari 5.1 (OSX 10.6.8) in which, after logging in to a secure internet banking site, the subsequent page loads into the browser (address bar updates new url and source code reflects new page), but the screen fails to redraw the new page. The bizarre thing is that the previous page, which is still visible, is not functional, the links and navigation for the new page are, however. So I can continue navigating through the site blindly by finding links with the mouse hover state, all while the original log in screen still appears in the window. Cannot reproduce this on any other browsers, including Safari 5.0.6
Anyone have any insights or experience with this kind of behavior?

Write down the password to the banking site. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Safari 5.1 incomplete page loads

Safari 5.1 doesn't load pages completely. I get the option to cancel or force a reload. Neither works properly. I'm left with a spinning beachball. Pushed off onto Firefox for now. Any help much appreciated.

You're welcome Allan.
Awarding points is very much appreciated

I am have problems with firefox 5& 6. It does not display correctly. I have tried the no squint and the internal zoom. Some pages load ok, others like yahoomail, load tiny unless I zoom and then other pages have problems. Why? What else can I be doing?

I am frustrated. With the no squint, which has a mind of its own, then some pages are fine, in others the type is too big or too small for the frames. If I use the default Firefox zoom that is no better. I have to set things for like 130 percent and am constantly having to click on the zoom and change things. I never had that with previous versions? Why can't Firefox just go back to displaying text in the correct frames at a decent size?

I have played with all the options in no squint and the default zoom thing. My email list in yahoo remains tiny tiny, other things do not. If I enlarge that, then other things are too big. I never had this problem with older versions of firefox. I never had used any zoom features, it all sized itself correctly.
To troubleshoot, I tried to open the same things with chrome, and it had much less of a problem sizing the type etc.
I am kind of at my wits end here.

Safari 2.0.3 - Pages load with no images or some images

Hi
I just bought a new iMac Intel. It comes with safari 2.0.3
Any page on the web loads without the images. In place of the image is a ? icon.
If I hit the reload button a few times, the images load up. Sometimes even after a dew reloads, some images are still not loaded.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have not changed any of the Quicktime settings yet.
Since posting I have installed Firefox. Firefox loads the page www.apple.com flawlessly.
If you would like me to check any of the quicktime settings, can you give me more details on how to do this?
Thanks for your advice

Safari "Pauses" During Web Page Load

This is a tough one. I'm having a problem where Safari will partially load a page, any page, then pause for up to 30 seconds, and either load the rest of the page or show "?" in a bunch of places and load the page incorrectly. I can't find anything wrong with my internet connection, router, or anything. ISP insists it's a software issue. This issue does not manifest in Camino or Firefox. Installed Safari 4 Beta and it did not fix the issue. Uninstalled Safari 4 and it did not fix the issue. Any ideas?

I have some more information.
I did a trace on my network to see if there are any problems. I traced to http://www.msnbc.com. Everything seems normal until hop 15 or 16. That is where I get the following:

Safari 6.0.1 page loading slow or not at all

Friends,
I have scoured the message boards of many self help communities and cannot find a great deal to resolve my question and that of many others - Safari taking ages to load a page or not at all - having to hit reload several times to get the page to load. I have tried Firefox and Chrome with no problems on the same web pages. This has only started in the last week or so. I am on OS 10.8.2. I have treid the following solutions which do not work for me:
Resetting Safari
Manually and with software dumping of Safari and Java caches
Disabling all Extensions
Removing all Website Data
Removing Safari's folder to create a complete new one in ~Library
Changing DNS
Turning off Prefetch DNS
Checkiing for virii
Turning off virus software
Starting up in Safe Mode
Repairing Permissions
Repairing Prefs
Starting up in a Test Guest account
Unsyncing Safari from iCloud
Making sure of my router having the latest firmware
All to no avail. Anything I am missing here in an attempt to solve this issue?
Thanks for reading this and cheers for now,
sam

Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network. If the Network preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Hardware tab. Select Configure: Manually and MTU: Custom. Enter an MTU value of 1280. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
You must apply the change before it takes effect.
If the issue is resolved, experiment with higher MTU values until you find the highest one that works. The higher the MTU, the better the network interface will perform.
If changing the MTU has no effect, restore the Configure setting to Automatically.

Safari 4.0.2 page loading takes 3 minutes

I just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Safari 4.0.2 can't load any page in less than 3 minutes. In addition, I get the message "You are not connected to Internet" on about 1 out 5 sites I try to open.

Greetings,
While your frustration is understandable, your problem isn't caused by Safari 4. But you haven't given much information to work with, including who your ISP is, what sites you're having problems with, or eve what you've tried to resolve the problem, if anything. So, try this:
1. Quit Safari.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
4. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
5. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Also, open System Preferences>Network, go to the tab where you enter the DNS Servers and enter these two instead of those from your ISP:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now, quit System Preferences and then use Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) to Repair Disk Permissions; then restart Safari and see if the speed is improved.

Safari not opening some pages

Recently Safari has frozen, failed to open some websites, stopped responding. Certain websites either do not load at all or require multiple tries for them to open. I thought it might be the Java issue but it is more wide spread. Any thoughts or remedies? Having the same problem? The sites open in Opera and Firefox.

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 guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
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.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
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.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
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:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Safari extremely slow and pages load with errors

Not sure if this is related to other Safari posts, but when I try to load a page from many sites, including this one, the speed is extremely slow and there are invariably errors reported on the bottom status bar. I'm on a new Mac Pro, and I haven't added any add-ons to Safari or changed system settings. My internet connection is DSL on ethernet, and there are no problems with email or on my old G4 using Explorer 5.1. At this point G4's Explorer is light years faster than Safari on this machine. I'm going to try Mozilla Firefox, but is there any hope for Safari?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hi Peggy
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try this to speed up Safari.
First, make sure you are not using Rosetta. Go to Safari's info panel (Application folder>Safari.app>Single click>Apple Key I). If Rosetta is selected, uncheck it.
Network Connection
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
- Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
- Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Ethernet ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
- Back to the "Show" menu, depending on your connection select "Ethernet". Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box and select "apply".
Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.

Safari cant open some pages

I have OS10.6.2 in several computers and it works fine in all but my main machine the Macbook Pro,
where it tells me Safari can't open certain pages, including it won't let me log in to these discussions. Has similar problem with Firefox. Most troublesome - can some kind person help? Have tried all the usual troubleshoot moves. Thanks, Rudd.

I have posted two screenshots to my Picasa WebAlbums site. One is the response I got when trying to
log in to this discussion; other is from trying to access my Amazon account. Please note that this problem exists only on my MacBook Pro; no problem with this Macbook or the iMac.

Safari tones down some pages

Hello,
I am on OS X 10.8.4 and my version of Safari is 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
The last week or so, it has occured pretty often that when I visit some home pages (for example, this one: http://ripostelaique.com/valls-autorise-les-freres-musulmans-a-defiler-dans-les- rues-de-paris-dehors.html) then I see the page appear and then, it gets darker.
It looks just like when there is some lightbox showing up, with the exception that there is no lightbox at all. The page is just going darker.
Anyone knows what I could do about that, please?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Cyril

Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
Turning extensions off actually solved the problem for me. I was having the same problem as described by cyrilmalka and couldn't figure out what was wrong. I had only one extension (1Password) but turning extensions off in Safari Preferences and reloading the darkened page worked like a charm.
Thanks to Linc Davis
