Safai will not download a site I want. Why not?

You mean the Poker site? I assume that you can open the web site. However, I think that you are trying to download a .exe file - a Windows file that will not work on the iPad anyway. If you have another app that will "try" to open the app, Safari will go through the motions of downloading the file, but you can't use the file anyway.
You can download some types of files with other browsers, but that .exe file is not going to work on the iPad at all. Is that what you are trying to do?

Safari will not display flash sites

safari will not display flash sites? Instead it will show a small box that says "flash" and once you click on it, it then displays the flash site!!
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I am running .....
Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Version: Java SE 7 Update 25
and
Flash Player: 11.8.800.94

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
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. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

TS1702 Apps will not download when I hit update, why is this?

Apps will not download when I hit update, why is this?

hello zombiasnow, adobe has announced in late 2011 that it will cease any further developement of flash on mobile devices, so now that's kind of a dead technology on mobile. if you have a complaint about a third party product, you'll have to put that to the vendor of this device (amazon in your case). the firefox support forum isn't the right place for such a discussion.
thank you for your understanding!

Safari will not download to my computer

I deleted safari because It messed up, and i want to download it again, every time i download it and i get to the stage where you chose what disc you want to chose, i click on my hard-drive disc, and it says that 'your computer cannot use this software" or something like that. i thought it might be doing that because it was overlapping on my old safari, so i completely deleted everything to do with safari that i had previously. I have tried downloading Safari and Safari 2.1 and neither work. They both show the exact same thing.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello Christian,
Safari is not downloaded it in installed from the Tiger install disk 1
read this, Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
Deleting Safari should be a very last step to troubleshooting it.
Did you test Safari is a test account first to see if it was a username home
issue ? That is a good first step for next time. Did you empty the trash?
Good luck!!. I hope this helps restore your Safari, please let us know.

Safari will not download, instead it opens a blank page

Whenever I try to download a file, Safari will not trigger a download. Instead, it opens up a blank grey page. The full download address appears in the address bar, with the file name I'm trying to download at the end ( like.... http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.55/install_flash_p layer_osx.dmg )
but the download never triggers. My primary Browser is Safari Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1), but I have also tried to download using Firefox 3.6.3. which also never triggers. I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a late 2008 MBP.
Normally, I can use the "Download linked File" function, but occasionally a website will only let me download a .html, or .php file instead. At the moment, I am trying to download the most recent Adobe Flash Player update, but its being a right mare!!! Hope someone can help me please!!

Your Safari version is outdated (because you moved it) and probably incompatible with your Mac OS version. However, that doesn't explain the problem with Firefox.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has 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).
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.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t wohrk in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Safari will not open secure sites

Safari will not open any secure sites with a secure login. Anyone have an idea why?

Same issue here and yes, I can get to the secure sites using Firefox, Camino & Opera and no, when logged into the new user account I still can't access secure sites with Safari.
Also, I have been unable to purchase anything off of iTunes since this issue started. Does iTunes use Safariin some way? Any idea why the two things seem to be linked?
After successfully browsing Music Store & selecting the desired purchase, I hit the "Buy" button and get an error message saying that iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. "An unknown error ocurred (0x80010003)." It suggests I make sure my network connection is active & try again, but I'm clearly online.

Safari Will Not Open Https sites

Safari will not open any https sites. When attempted, I get the following type of error:
Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/. . . . . . . . because it could not connect to the server “support.apple.com”.
The problem started happening about three weeks ago, probably after one of Apple's updates. I can log on to the same https sites using any other browser. The problem also exists no matter what user I am logged into, including root.
I have emptied the cache, reset Safari, repaired permissions, repaired the disk using Disk utlility, run ToolTech Pro on the drive, tossed preferences, tossed various keychange files, but nothing solves the problem. There are other posts claiming to have the same problem, but the suggested fix does not work for me.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I also had this problem and solved it. I use Little
Snitch which establishes rules for blocking ports to
see when applications phone home. For Safari I
accidently blocked port 443 which is SSL or https.
Check to see that you have not blocked this port
through a firewall setting. Of course if this were a
firewall setting all browsers would not be able to
access https websites.
****, I thought I thought of everything, but I completely failed to consider Little Snitch, as I could never see myself accidently denying Safari connections. However, apparently I did just that. Thank you, you win the prize.

Safari Will Not Download pdfs: On One Site and from One Computer Only

On only one computer, at only one web site (my own creation), I suddenly cannot get pdfs to open in Safari 4.0. What might be happening?
1. I have created 5 web sites for my business. I use RapidWeaver from RealMacSoftware.
2. Each of the 5 sites I’ve created has downloadable pdfs.
3. Two of the sites are password protected, but this does not appear to be the source of the problem.
4. One of these two protected sites (Site A) will not open any pdfs on the site in a Safari browser window on my Intel iMac running 10.5.7. When I click on a pdf link in Safari, I get the gray spinning wheel on a white page (which does not stop after 10+ minutes). If I try to reload the page, a white page results. Trying any other pdf link on this site produces nothing but a white page.
5. If I option-click on the link, the pdf downloads fine, but I then have to open it. It does not open in Safari, but rather Reader.
6. This behavior does not occur on two other Macs in my office. One, a MacBook Pro running 10.5.7 and Safari 4.0, opens the pdfs in Safari just fine. Another, a G5 running Tiger with Safari 4.0, also works fine. (FWIW: No problems on Dell running XP Home, via either Explorer or Firefox.)
7. The behavior also does not occur on the other protected site I have created (Site B) or on any of the other unprotected sites. All computers, all browsers—no problems.
8. I have the latest Adobe Reader version (9.1.2).
9. I have repaired permissions and restarted—no luck.
10. I have republished Site A through RapidWeaver, but there is no change. My web host had a power failure a day or two ago, but all sites were up and running yesterday.
Any clues about what’s going on? I have intentionally not downloaded the apparently available Safari version 4.0.1 because of the several problems reported on the boards.
Message was edited by: Richard Setterberg

I tried logging in to the guest account and got a slightly different result: Two of the five websites I've created with RapidWeaver now do not display pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin.
The common thread now is that the two that don't work are the password protected sites. When I boot back into my main account, the original problem returns: Only one site doesn't work; the other one does.
Still only on one computer.

Safari will not bookmark web sites but Firefox will do so

I am using 10.4.8 on a PPC iMac and have discovered recently that Safari does not save new bookmarks for me. I go to Firefox and Firefox will do so. Any suggestions?
iMac G5 2.1g Mac OS X (10.4.8) Safari 2.0.4

Hi,
It sounds like your bookmarks file might have become corrupt.
Before checking the bookmarks file, trash the Safari preferences file just to make sure that is not affecting things:
/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, try this:
1 Export your Safari bookmarks via the Safari File menu -> Export Bookmarks...
2 Quit Safari
3 Move /Users/YourUsername/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist onto your Desktop
4 Restart Safari and use File menu -> Import Bookmarks... to import the bookmark file you saved in step 1.
If that does allow you to save sites again, you can trash the Bookmarks.plist file you moved to the Desktop in step 3.
Let us know how you get on and good luck.

Safari will not download on my PC side of my mac

I have tried to download Safari on the PC side of my macbook. As soon as I click the download button, the screen instantly goes to the next screen as if the download has completed. Safari won't download.

What broswer are you trying to use to download Safari? Have you tried both IE and Firefox?

Safari will not download certain things...

On a white plastic unibody macbook 13in, with 10.6.8, and safari 5.1.4, I can not update flash, nor can I download Google Chrome. They both go to a blackscreen for under the tabs, but load the progress bar/url bar. Additionally, the problem is similar in Firefox, which leads me to believe that this may be a OSX issue, not a safari issue. Please help, this is incredibally annoying for someone who plays a large quantity of flash games, uses youtube, et cetera. I want this to be fixed, so can anyone help?

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.
