Safari stopped showing images in all websites

Morning all,
A few days ago Safari 6 (OS X Mountain Lion) stopped rendering images in all websites (no exceptions, all image types).
Bizarrely a few other symptoms of this are shown below,
1) Right-click over where an image should be, and clicking download downloads the image.
2) Right-click over where an image should be, copying the image URL and pasting this into a new tab works (image loads)
3) Spacing is right for absent images (for those with and without css width/height rules or html size attributes)
I have tried everything I can think of,
1) Reset Safair
2) Delete cache.db from Library/Safari
3) Clearing browser history
The only thing I can think off (but can't work out how to do this with Safari 6/Mountain Lion is to uninstall Safari and reinstall).
I have enabled the Safari debug menu, and find nothing under there which affects the problem. The symptom almost looks like a 'Do not render images' flag has been turned on, but I can find no such flag.
Any help appreciated, I'd really warmed to Safari with V6, but have now had to move away from it until this matter is resolved.
Regards,
Ryan

I have officially gone bonkers.
Entirely my fault, I'd disabled images in the Develop menu. Can't believe I didn't notice that for the 5 or 6 days I've had the problem.
I'll get my coat.
Regards,
Ryan

Safari 6.0.5 "Remove all website data" doesn't work

Safari 6.0.5, OS X 10.8, MacBookPro 17" Mid-2010.
I cannot properly remove the cookies from Safari. It takes 3, 4 or 5 relaunches to clear them all. Bug?
I have even installed OS X 10.8 on a blank disk, from scratch. I have even repaired my boot disk permissions. The trouble is still there.
This is what I do:
I clear the cache with Command-Option-E.
I select the menu "Safari:Reset Safari...", I mark all the check-boxes and press the OK button.
I go to the Preferences:Privacy panel, and I clearly see "5 websites stored cookies or other data". Sometimes they are even hundreds.
I click on the button "Details..." and verify they are all listed there. Yes they are.
Now I click on the button "Remove all website data". It seems the data have been removed. No more messages aside the button.
Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
Well, I clearly still see "5 websites stored cookies or other data".
So I click again on the button "Remove all website data". It seems the data have been removed. No more messages aside the button.
Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
Well, I clearly still see "2 websites stored cookies or other data". So only 3 data have been removed.
Now I click on the button "Remove all website data". It properly shows the data have been removed.
Then I quit and relaunch Safari, then I open the Preferences:Privacy panel.
Finally, I see the data have been removed. But is that true? Is that reliable? Of course I don't trust that.
So I quit Safari once again, relaunch it once again and verify that on the Preferences:Privacy panel.
Finally I quit Safari (with still some doubt...).
I guess that's not what I am supposed to do.

A well known contributor here wrote the following ...
Cookies have acquired a worse reputation than they deserve.   They cannot hold any executable code, they just hold data and then, only data the user has provided.   You could say they're as dangerous as you let them become.
And that I think sums it up.    Clearing all website data is counter productive insofar as it removes many cookies that do a useful job and save you time.
Just take care where you browse, use private browsing if you are unsure and that should be enough.   As an option, I bought an app called 'Cookie'. It's about £10 and I found it very good for a whole range of other cookies like databases and flash cookies.   Read about it at ...

Mobile Safari not showing images

Hi there,
Since upgrading to 4.01 and then 4.02 on my iPhone, Safari seems to intermittently not show images on websites... does anyone know the reason for this and a solution?

I am having the same issue. I have found in my case the site I was working on is pulling content from JSON and the mobile app is using a Cache Manifest file. When I removed the manifest file reference I could see the images again.

Safari stops loading images randomly

When I'm using Safari, it will be working fine, and then for some unknown reason, it will just stop loading images, and a small blue box with a question mark will appear instead.
This happens on all sorts of pages, it can be a page that was loading fine before, then no images will load.
Also, the problem does eventually go away, and then images start loading again.
I noticed tonight that it started happening when my battery was low...could it be related to battery power?
Help! This is very annoying.

I'd love to know why this seems to have worked...
DNS - Domain Name System - is the system that tells your computer and web browser where to look for a domain like www.apple.com. The domain is just a name - some system has to be used to figure out where that site actually resides, so it can be loaded in a web browser.
Basically, each ISP sends you to a DNS server that looks up a domain (e.g. www.apple.com) and figures out what that domain's IP address is (e.g. 17.149.160.49 ). Your web browser is then directed to that physical address and is able to load the web site you were looking for.
Some DNS servers (nameservers) can be flaky, either not providing updated addresses or being slow to access. Sometimes there are problems in communication somewhere between your computer, your router, your modem, and the DNS server. Often those problems can be fixed by manually entering your ISP's nameserver addresses or by using alternate nameserver addresses. Common alternate nameservers are Verizon's DNS servers (which include the addresses 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2) and the OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220).
By specifying nameserver addresses in your System Preferences or in your router's settings, you are choosing to use a different system for finding web sites than the one your ISP is using and/or you might be solving any communication problems that might exist somewhere between your computer and the nameserver you're using.

Why did safari stop showing in spotlight?

Spotlight always shows applications first. Safari always appeared when I typed "saf" in the spotlight search field. Suddenly, one day it stopped showing up. Safari is still in the application folder and the icon is still on my dock? What happened and how can I get it back?

Go to ~/Library/Preferences.
Move the com.apple.spotlight.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Spotlight
And check Safari / Preferences Spotlight then select the Search Results tab.
Make sure Applications is at the top of the list. If not, just drag it up.

Firefox won't load/show images on some websites with Disconnect add-on enabled

I've been having trouble with Firefox not loading images on some websites. I tried clearing my cache/cookies, checking permissions disabling the AdBlocker add-on but nothing worked. I've attached a screen shot of the page info for one of the pictures that didn't load. Something was changing the picture's file type to 'text/html.'
I finally gave up and reset Firefox and that solved the problem. I began slowly adding back my previous add-ons and found that the Disconnect add-on was the cause. I've seen this issue discussed here and on other support websites as well as Bugzilla so I just wanted to offer up my solution in case anyone is having the same issue and can't pinpoint the origin.

I also wanted to know if anyone has any alternatives to Disconnect that don't cause this to happen.
ETA: I've replaced it with Ghostery and that looks be working great without blocking any pictures.

My MacBook Pro suddenly stopped showing images on websites - what did I do? And how do I fix it? Thank you!

Can anyone tell me how to get images on websites to be seen again?

If you are using Safari, go to the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons click Reset.
And check Safari / Preferences - Appearance
Make sure the box is selected next to: Display images when the page opens

Safari not showing images as Question Marks

Hello Forum,
we have a strange behaviour from a shop website in Safari for Mac and Windows Platform.
It is a site with frames. When i click on the Categorie Nagivation it comes to situations when one of the frames reloads.
After this frame reload the pictures only show as question marks. When i click one of the images it will reload the pressed picture and shows it. The other ones remain as question marks.
The System Layout goes like this: Apache Server takes requests and redirects it to an application shop Server.
Most of the Images are on Apache, the top navigation with the problem comes from the application server.
Does anyone has a clue where to search for this problem?
Firefoy and IE don't have this problem.
Regards
Jannis
P.S. its the newest Version of Safari installed on Mac or on Windows.

Hi Carolyn,
thanks for your answer.
The setting is still checked in Apperances.
I tried to unckeck and check it again, but it woh't solve the problem.
What i think is, that Safari has a problem with our system design or with http headers he interprets in another way than other browsers.
What i found out too is, that there is Java Script. Are there differents how Safari interprets them?
Regards
Jannis

Design Mode Stopped Showing Images and Text

I've been working in Dreamweaver MX for quite a few years;
and I've had this website for over a year. Just recently I
downloaded IE7 and this caused many Javascript errors. I
uninstalled IE7 and these errors are resolved.
My problem is that on almost every one of my pages the design
mode only shows the background image. I made no changes to these
pages; it just stopped working. I've tried searching for broken
tags, and I can't find any.
I downloaded MX patch 6 and installed it today, but it didn't
resolve the issue. I also noticed that my HTML docs are now changed
to XHTML and I"m not sure HOW that happened!

If my memory serves me correctly, MX didn't write the correct
code for
the DOCTYPE, so when you installed the update, it corrected
the code on
your page.

My wiki site stopped showing images. How do I fix this

I spent a lot of time setting up our wiki everything was working perfectly. Then out of the blue all of the images just stopped displaying I am also unable to add any new images. There are no errors on screen, nothing shows up in the logs, and a fix permissions does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Just in case anybody runs into this, I found the solution. If anybody knows of a better way I am all ears. I have a Mac Mini with 128 SSD I was concerned about space so attached an external 1TB Thunderbolt HD. Its fast it works fine. I used the server console to redirect my Service Data to that external drive. It has worked flawlessly for about four months. I am not sure what changed, but any attachments or images associated with the wiki site stopped working. I fixed it by:
backing up my server directory
redirecting the Server data to the original hard drive. Under the Server Manager (Your Computer Name) -> Settings Tab -> Service Data
removing the old Server data from the external hard drive. Stored in /Library/Server
redirecting the Server data back to the external hard drive. Under the Server Manager (Your Computer Name) -> Settings Tab -> Service Data
Apparently the utility is smart enough to copy the files and reassociate any paths required. If there is a repair utility capable of repairing the directory as is and I just missed it I would love to know.
Here is the screen where I changed Service Data Locations.

Cs6 has stopped showing images in window unless it is dragged

I've been using this program for almost a year now. Last night it started acting up. I will open an image and see that the tab with the filename and info shows up, but the image is not displayed. If I select the window border so I can move it around it will display the image. Let go the mouse button and the window goes back to the background color.
FYI, the navigoatr window shows the image properly.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software but that has not changed anything.
Any ideas?

Sounds like a GPU issue; and possibly one involving your monitor color profile.
I say that because Photoshop temporarily switches to CPU-based color-management and GDI display calls when moving a window.
Have you installed a system update since it worked?
It's possible, I suppose that a preferences reset might help. If you're desperate and need to take that step, it can be done like this: Press and hold Command - Shift - Option simultaneously (or Control - Shift - Alt if on a PC) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Mail and Safari stopped working/opening at all

Hello,
Mail and Safari won't open. The little black arrow appears under them in the dock, but nothing... The little pop-up menu that appears when I click and hold on the icons in the dock says "Application not responding" and offers me the option to force quit. I have checked my users folder and apparently the mailboxes are there, but I cannot open the program. I have always had several mailboxes and kept messages separate and under categories to avoid too many messages in one mailbox.
I tried to repair permissions and I even safe-booted, but no help at all. I noticed in another posting...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5884802#5884802
that someone else is having a similar problem. Could it have been from a security update which I did recently?
Please help!!!
Thank you in advance
Rob

Hi Rob
You could try reinstalling the update again, this time with all applications closed and not using your computer at all while the installation proceeds, especially during the optimization phase part of the process.
If you chose 'Install and keep package' from the Software Update you will find it in
HD/Library/Packages
If you did not keep the package you will need to download it again.
As you are not on the net, (unless you have Firefox which works) download the package, move it to HD/Library/Packages and double click on it to reinstall it.
Security Update 2007-008 (10.3.9 Client)
With a bit of luck doing this might rectify your network connections.

Ipad2 battery will not work, once powered on it says 100% charged. but if i unplug it, it stops showing images.

Battery seems dead. only powers on when charged, but goes off when i unplug it's power cord. And if it was on, i could only use it for about 5 minutes, then it flickers off.
     i've tried updating it to ios 7.0, but when it starts to prepare for update it shuts off due to the 5 minute time. I tried that on the device itself, tried with a mac, but it only powers on when charged.
     Strange thing, when i go in to recover mode it stays on like.. forever! And if i charge it with a iphone 1A charger it will not pass the apple logo on start up; but if i use the ipad 2A charger it stays on for 5 minutes!!
     Please help me, i had this issue foe weeks!
     just to tell you people how my ipad got this issue: my sister was playing it at the sofa for an hour or so. then i went and picked it up and tried to power it up, but it just stays black. i charged it, and as i said above, my ipad only works for 5 minutes!
     So thanks to whatever who helped me solve this problem!!!!!

You followed this exactly?
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
