Safari: web pages won't accept input

Suddenly, when I load web pages in Safari, I can't input anything. The pages load okay, but I can't actually interact or input data. For example, I can't change my Instant Que in Netflix and I can't input a comment on my facebook page. I can do those things okay in Firefox. Yesterday I disabled Java in both Safari and Firefox to combat the Flashback trojan, (my computer was not infected) but since Firefox still works okay I don't think that would have anything to do with it. Any ideas?

this may or may not help, depends on how you connect to the internet.
I've been having problems with safari not loading some pages and being slow for a couple of days.
so i tried the other browsers and got the same, couldn't connect to the itunes store either.
I connect using a router with a couple of mac's networked, I've being driving myself insane trying to gte things sorted, finally I reset the router, everything is now working.

Particular web page won't print

Running Safari with latest Mavericks update, one particular web page won't print on my ethernet connected HP laser printer (Laserjet P2015). The page is at bialetti.com ( Italian coffeemmaker machine co.). When I try to print the page, the printer job page says it's connected and ready to print but instead it sends the printer into a series of error lights starting with both paper jam and low ink then going to noi paper. After a minute or so it reboots itself and returns to a single green light indicating it's ready to print. The job screen then says "broken pipe". What confounds me is that any other web page will print with no problem. What could cause this?

I have tried the pdf route but with the same result. I can print a German eBay posting from Safari but not this Italian site. Another iMac with Mavericks on the same network has the same problem. Connecting to the printer over Wi-Fi or ethernet also refuses to print the page. I may contaqct Hp as the sequence of trouble lights that occur may give them a clue.

Web pages won't load, solution needed. Mac issue

Hi, I don't cannot find how properly to contact apple support so try get in tuoch in this section. So, recently I purchased macbook pro 13 Serial Number ********DTY3, now it's been about two months since I'm using my mac, I thought this is the best product, but getting dissapointed. The main issue which currently expierencing ( about few weeks now ) is that time to time web pages won't opening, even now then I try to open thesun page I get internal errorsaying: ''Internal communication error'' and page wont load at all. I'ts becoming more often and often. Honestly it's really annoying especially when you working on something and you need the page opened, I mean right now. I tried to use opera, google chrome, safari and all the same, if the page wont load in one browser, it wont load in another as well. Tried on win 7 on other laptop, working fine. I thought this is some history or cache issue, so I tried to clean it on daily regular basis, but it doesn't work. Once again this kind of issue becoming more common in daily using, so thinking of leaving apple or in case I get working solution, should I get my mac into the shop and technicans can check it, or I just returned to apple.? (All mac is fully updated with latest updates including web browsers)

you didn't look very hard for support information:

How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

How do you close safari web pages on iPad air

Hi Can any body tell me how to close the safari web pages on ipad air. I have a 5S and it has your pages collected in the right had corner you can click on this and then delete each page, but the Air does not have this. Can anybody tell me please.
Thanks

thanks for that help. When I double tap the plus sign it clears my tabs thank you sooo much. What sberman said I cannot do that as I do not have my pages I have opened run across like he is showing? dont know why. thanks anyway

Firefox froze up. So I removed from computer and reloaded. If I close Firefox, can't restart by clicking on the icon. Have to end process in Task Manager. It then starts. Some links on some web pages won't work.

Hi,
As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
Thanks for your herlp,
Mike FD

It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

Safari - "web pages not responding" about once an hour. I'm about to switch to Chrome if I can't fix this.

Safari - "web pages not responding" about once an hour. I'm about to switch to Chrome if I can't fix this. Help?

Regarding #1, your post says you have a beta version of Firefox 4. That may well be incorrect, but that is why the site says you do not have the latest version.
Losing graphics on the bookmarks toolbar and not having a working back button are not normal, but I'm not sure whether you want to troubleshoot Firefox 4, roll back to Firefox 3.6, or just move on.
How can we help?

When I try to send a Safari web page via Mail, Mail locks up!

No matter how I try to Email a Safari web page (using the share arrow icon or the mail icon or the File menu), Mail locks up. Then I have to Force Quit Mail and send the report to Apple. There must be a bug somewhere, but I can't figure out where! I have closed and restarted Safari, closed and restarted Mail, restarted my Mac Pro - all to no avail. I have every update installed - and, in fact, the latest update to Mountain Lion is the culprit, as I didn't have this problem before I installed it! Is it possible to uninstall this latest update? Help!!!

You're suffering from two common misconceptions.
1. You will never get a response from Apple when you submit a crash report. The reports are used internally, if at all.
2. This is not Apple tech support. This is a forum provided by Apple for users of its products to discuss technical issues among themselves. No one here represents Apple or knows anything about your contacts with Apple. If you want support from Apple, click the Support link at the top of this page.

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Desktop screen hides safari web pages. How correct this?

I made the mistake of fiddling with display resolution. After I did, my desktop screen hides Safari web pages and most of the address bar.
In addition when using Safari and now Foxfire (which is not hidden) there is a border on the screen (fainter color than the rest of screen) which results in cursor hitting the border too often making the web page disappear. Apple Support, for which I paid, could not figure out how to fix this. Why would the border
have developed.

Do you mean running Firefox in full screen mode?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then you can hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

You can also run Firefox in a maximized window to have easier access to the Menu bar and Navigation Toolbar.
