Safari window will disappear if dragged from a tab to an external display

Try opening a Safari window and add a new tab, then drag that new tab to the external display (e.g. Desktop 3) as a new window, it will disappear when you release the drag-and-drop. I think this is a bug of Safari 7.0 on Mavericks 10.9.

Two steps work-around:
1) Drag the tab out to the same display.
2) Then drag it again to another display.
Of course it's a bug. Please report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html.

Safari: Tabs disappear when dragging on the tab bar

When dragging tabs to re-arrange them all the tabs disappear, except the one you're dragging, which makes placing the dragged tab difficult. When you drop the dragged tab the others re-appear.
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm having sort of the opposite thing happen. When I grab a tab and drag it out of the window and drop it, it disappears. The odd thing is, if I click on mission control I can see the missing safari window. I can drag it to multiple desktops and work with it in mission control just like normal. And if the page is playing any audio or video that will continue, but it just disappears. Only quitting safari and chooing close all windows with the option key does it go away.

My Safari Windows will not close

My safari windows will not close. I can use the internet fine, but safari will not allow me to close or minimize the window. This is also stopping me from shutting down my computer without removing the battery. Should I take it in to get repaired, or is it a setting on my computer that got turned on? Is anyone else having the same problem? Thank you! - Kristen

Hi Kristen,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Which version of OS X are you using?
For possible relief, go to your Finder. There, navigate to your User Account's Library>Preferences Folder. You'll see a file com.apple.safari.plist. Move it to the desktop and restart Safari.
Please let me know if that changes anything.

Email disappears after dragging from inbox to subfolder.

Email disappears after dragging from inbox to subfolder. It is not lost because if it is unread it shows as an unread email in the sub folder. When I set the folder to view # of emails the # of emails shows next to the folder, but the actual emails do not.Also
if the email that is moved to a subfolder has not been read it will show an unread email in the subfolder but still not be able to view the actual email.
This does not happen on all subfolders.

Tried resetting the view on that folder already? You can do this via the View tab.
Otherwise, you'll have to share more details like at least your version of Outlook and type of email account.

Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter?

Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter? I like to have two monitors and currently using an Cinema Display from 2005. Thanks

If your computer does not have Thunderbolt you cannot use a Thunderbolt display. There are no adapters that will help.

Safari windows will not disappear after closing

When I close windows under Safari, they will keep on staying in full screen but turn completely grey. The whole windows becomes grey and it won't disappear until i restart safari. i can switch between full screen windows and everything just as it would be a running program. This appeared since i upgrade from the beta to official release. Can't upload a pic for some reason on here.

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. 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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Adobe Reader XI is not working. I have used the cleanup tool and reinstalled it. I try to open a .pdf file in the program the window will open and load all the tabs but I am never able to actually interact with them.

I am unable to use adobe reader xi. I have tried to use the clean up tool and re install the reader. That doesn't seem to help. I go to open the pdf file in the reader and the window will load but I am not able to do anything past that point. Almost as if the program freezes once loaded I never get a not responding error until I open the task manager on the computer.

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Safari window turns white when opening a new tab

Hi,
I noticed yesterday that when I launch Safari, and cmd click to open a new tab, the Safari window turns white for a second or two before coming back to life. This is an intermittent issue, I have only had it two or three times so far and it doesn't always happen.
Its kind of similar to when opening too many windows in MS and the GPU struggles to render the windows...
The only programs I have running at the time are Mail, VirusBarrier Traffic Monitor and, of course, Safari.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or know a solution???

HI,
Uninstall VirusBarrier! See the post by: "Kappy" here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1796916
There are no Mac viruses.
Traffic Monitor may also be causing the problem. Anytime you have A/V software and 3rd party add-ons, your Mac is more vulnerable to performance issues.

HT4108 Unable to read a movie from my iPad to an external display

Hi everyone,
I fear the worst here. I downloaded a TV show from iTunes and watched it fine on my external display (a full blown HD tv). Then I downloaded an HD movie from the iTunes store but my iPad2 says it's unable to play protected content. What gives ???
Is there a work-around to this or does my gut-feeling tell me Apple has restricted the use of an external display for some commercial reason ?
What's the point of buying full HD content if you can't watch it on full HD gear ?
Thanks for your thoughts on this !

try this:

This helped meRe: not copied to iPad because you are not authorized for it on this computer
Nov 20, 2011 10:41 AM (in response to hoppo72)
One workarwound is to do the following:
1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
3. Add the files back to iTunes
This seems to fix the problem for me
Hope this helps

My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

Hi Guys,
I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

Thank you,
That's not it - Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

Safari window will not maximize

this just started and i do not know why. Whenever i try to maximize window in safari it actually minimizes window to the lower left hand corner

Just drag it from the bottom r/h corner.
Alternatively, Glims has an option for full screen Safari. It does other really useful thinbgs as well:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! (Such as automatically deleting Flash cookies, enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

Can someone tell me why Safari windows follow from space to space?

I open a new space via Mission Control. I want to have only a couple terminal windows in there. For some reason Safari windows follow me when I switch from one space to another. Why is this? It doesn't happen with email, Firefox, or any other application. Is there some setting that got flipped inadvertently? I know this will sound strange but this happened today when updating to IOS 5 and my OS X Lion was updated too.
Note that when there's at least 1 Safari window in full screen I can create another, put it in non-full screen mode and Safari windows will NOT follow spaces.

right-click or hold-down after clicking on Safari in your dock -- look at options > Assign to
It sounds like you have 'all desktops' selected there.
Choose 'this desktop' or 'none'

How to make safari window open up to my size pref

Sorry about the long subject title. Everytime I open safari on my Apple computers the safari window will open up in a different size or place. How can I set it to open to my own default like preference so that it covers the screen when I open safari.
Does that make sense?
Thanks!

Thanks alot for the quick response. However, my problem is that I do resize the window with the lower right drag every time I open safari. It doesn't seem to save the setting or something. If I stretch it out huge....next time I open, it will be tiny, (and hitting the green button doesn't fix it) or in a different possition.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Safari Window zoom in and out

Every so often when I am using Safari and have another application(s) running in the background, the Safari window will zoom out and the other apps are shown, as though I am using Expose. A click on the Safari window, which is also highlighted in blue, zooms it back and makes it the primary window. What is causing this to happen and is there a way to stop it from happening?
Thanks.
PS: I am using Snow Leopard but I don't know which version it is.

In Safari > Preferences > Advanced the smallest the font size can be set to is 9.
If you'd like to, please send feedback to Apple developers > Apple - Safari - Feedback

How do I stop Finder, Firefox, Safari windows "auto-maximizing"

I have searched the internet, the Apple websites, MacRumors, a bunch of other "Answers" type sites, trolled my settings and still can't find an answer to this or even explain it properly.
On my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini I am having issues with the finder windows/firefox/safari windows maximizing when I drag them close to the Finder Bar at the top of my screen. I want to know if there is a way to turn this off?
I have recently wiped and reformatted my MacBook Pro 13" and installed Lion OS X 10.7 on it (Mac Mini is also running this OS) and it doesn't have this feature "enabled". I want to know if there is a setting that I have overlooked or if it is possible to turn this feature off. I have looked in the Finder Preferences as well as every category in the System Preferences and can't seem to locate anywhere that I can select this feature.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Lanny.. I looked through all my third party applications (app store stuff) as well and there doesn't seem to be any third party software or UI that's overlaying on top of Lion.. I have combed my mini and can't find anything that is causing this.. any other ideas?
