Safari stopped displaying correctly

Safari on my iMac has gone awry.
This is this Support Forum as displayed now. As you can see it's pretty primitive.

I don't know how this happened. I have tried removing the Safari prefs files, repairing permissions, replacing my HDD directory with Disk Warrior, booting into Safe Mode, looking around in Safari preferences to see if anything has been changed, checked software update in case there was something the needs updating (also for Glims). No joy.
Also, I wonder if this is a symptom of a more general problem because my iMac is steadily getting slower to start up/draw desktop after logging in to my account.
Sometimes the following screen, asking "Where is installer?", appears when logging in too.

Is my HDD going on the fritz? Firefox appears to be unaffectedby the display problem.

Thanks for your comments.
DU revealed plenty of space, well over 500GB, and verification revealed no problems.

The only plugin for Safari I have (apart from some of the new extensions) is the latest version of Glims.
I have noticed that the problem seem to go away if I am in the Administrator Account. Going back to my own account the slow redraw I noticed now appears to have gone. I think it may have been because I had forgotten to disconnect my iPod.
I checked in all those folders referred to in the article but found nothing untoward. I trashed them, restarted Safari, then put them back when there was no change.
I have just tried deinstalling Safari Extensions by going into Library/Safari/Extensions. I have found that deleting the file Extensions.plist cures the Safari display problem.

From the 'Get Info' window the application that is set to open it is Photoshop CS. I didn't bother to change this to Safari as it seems sufficient just to drag it to the Desktop to fix Safari. Furthermore Safari doesn't recreate it.
Strangely enough Photoshop CS recreates the file in the same place, but the recreated file doesn't upset Safari anymore. How weird!

Make Safari stop displaying a website?

Hey everyone. I want to know if there's a way (or a plugin) to make Safari stop displaying specific websites. I go to a few websites that have talking ads, and disabling Javascript to get rid of them also gets rid of various site features that I enjoy having. So is there a way I can simply have Safari stop displaying the websites that the ads are hosted on? A plugin, as I said before, will also do. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but before I mark it as solved I want to know, how do I do this with multiple sites? I'm going to guess that you just do it again on another line (since to do it at all 127.0.0.1 is already used twice), but I would like conformation.

Microsoft owa site does not display properly. was working just fine and then stopped displaying correctly today.

The display of the microsoft owa web page does not display correctly. Does not appear to be in HTML - almost looks like plain text.

Thank you. Worked after I cleared cache

Umlauts in Safari not displayed correctly

My motherlanguage is German, therefore most websites I visit are in German. In the recent days a problem with Safari came up:
umlauts (ä, ö, ü, Istead there is something like Ã¼) and
other German-specific letters (ß) are not displayed correctliy,
even when I try to use another encodings (like ISO Latin 2, ISO Latin 4...).
This problem occured mainly on google.com
So I don't know if this is sort of a mixed problem - Google-Apple
Any suggestions?
System Information:
iMac 27'' 2011
3,4 GHz Intel COre i7
8 GM RAM
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
Kind regards from Vienna, Austria,

Thanks! (Actually nothing is more important in a case like this than providing a url that lets someone else see exactly what you are seeing).
I can't duplicate your problem, so I do not think it is Google. Does Firefox work OK?

Safari Stopped Displaying URL/Search and Back & Forth Page Bar

Safari in my iMac no longer displays the URL/search space and page back and forward bar. How do I get that bar displayed again?

Go to the Safari menu bar, top of your screen, click View > Customize Toolbar
Drag up the default toolbar or individual items.

Maybe this bug has been listed before - clock stops displaying correct time

Hello! Maybe this has already appeared in the forums. Imac G5 2megs with leopard 10.5.2 - has a wacom tablet and flip4mac installed - otherwise no other extensions or non-apple hardware/software. At some point - at irregular intervals - my clock no longer advances, and any mouse hovering over the right side of the menubar displays the spinning wheel of "death." When I run activity monitor I see that the 'systemUIserver' is not responding. Any clue what causes it to lock-up? Is this a known bug that may be fixed soon? Thanks

Yes, bug listed. It's due to your 3G firewire iPod being plugged in and maybe some other issue. Unplug your 3G iPod and your golden.

Otherwise it's something else.

Safari has stopped displaying images?

Have been using Safari with Windows XP Pro for a couple of months without any problems to access internet and my Mobile Me account. Then without warning Safari stopped displaying images i.e., photo's & banner headers. As an example Google search engine operates but the Google logo does not show. Also Mobile Me is not displaying any images.
Internet Explorer on the same PC continues to operate OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Suddenly, messages are not displaying correctly, how can I cure this?

Messages have stopped displaying correctly, or, in some case, at all. The messages have downloaded OK. Even messages which were displaying correctly earlier, now don't. It occurred after 'finger' problems - I tried to type something into Firefox but failed to change focus from Thunderbird to Firefox first and have obviously changed some setting. What can I do to restore normal behaviour?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even deleting all references I can find to Thunderbird from the AppData folders in the users directory all to no avail.

Thank you for the suggestions. They did not cure the problem, but that is because I think now that there is no problem; Thunderbird is working normally. It appears to have had a temporary glitch and has corrupted 8 or 9 messages around the one I was viewing when I hit wrong keys. The corrupted messages seem to contain the headers of dozens of other messages, some quite old. Apart from those few messages, all others in the root inbox folder and in all sub-folders seem OK.
Thanks again for trying.

Safari not displaying Facebook properly

Since yesterday, Safari stopped displaying Facebook properly. I get a white page with no formatting, just a column of links. That is the only site I have problems with. All others seem to work fine and Facebook displays properly if I'm using 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 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.
Test while logged in as Guest. 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.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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:
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 certain 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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
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.

Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

Can I do anything to make it work in Firefox, too?

Safari not displaying web pages correctly

I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly. For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful. Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.
The following is in the Safari > View menu --

IWeb pages displayed correctly in Firefox but on in Safari/Chrome

I made a personal web page with iWeb. Now some of the pages are not displayed correctly in Safari and/or Chrome.
Check this page for example : http://maiklohse.de/Maik_Lohse/media.html
There are 6 YouTube videos embedded in the page. They all will show up if you use Firefox - but not with Safari or Chrome. Anybody got any ideas?

An alternative way to add so many Quicktime movie files to a page so it will load faster is to use the method in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. None of the movies will load until the play button is selected. That will let the page load very quickly. Right now it's glacially slow.

Facebook is not displaying correctly on my browser anymore: Safari v.5.1.7., Mac OSX v. 10.6.8. neewd helpre

I have an iMac (Intel mid 2011) 21.5", Facebook used to work OK. After updating Safari to Ver. 5.1.7. (6534.57.2), Facebook is not displaying correctly, I get a white unformated screen and a partial display of the information shows on the left side of screen (10%). I'm using OSX Ver. 10.6.8.. Facebook works OK on my iPhone and others PCs.
I can't seem to find any information about how fix this problem. Is it a Safary problem?, or a Facebook issue?, or is it a glitch of OSX, maybe acombination of all these.
Does anybody out there has the knowledge or the information to fix this problem?
I need to fix this problem ASAP. I haven had any problems or issues with my iMac before . I'm new to MAC PCs and the reason I switched from Windows to Mac, was the stability of the SYS and reliability of the hardware. (no need to say that it is a superior OS and its QUALITY stuff.)
A response would be appreciated, Thank you: C.E.O.

I found the solution to my problem: I installed the Super facebook App. AKA (Social fixer)
