Safari won't display a site correctly, sometimes page takes extended time to respond and partially loads other times images wont load

So I have a friend who I've been trying to assist with this. I don't know if she has issues with other sites or she may not have encountered any yet, but one in particular is just not working. It started about a month ago around the time she moved (so different ISP/router etc.) though not entirely sure if it started right after that or if it was just coincidence. Anyways she cleared cookies/cache, no luck. I had her update and restart the computer, still not working. Disabled all extensions, still doesn't work. It can take upwards of 30-45 seconds to even respond in some cases, and when it does sometimes the page is all white with just text improperly formatted, but the background doesn't display at all, other times the background images and text are displaying correctly but the nearly all the user submitted images on the site (deviantart) will not display. I believe she mentioned it occasionally happened on tumblr as well.
Other computers on her network are fine. I downloaded Firefox to see if it was a problem that persisted across browsers and indeed it did. So I went into the console on Firefox and looked at further information and it was returning Status Code 304 Not Modified which I looked up and that says it is telling the browser that the images should be loaded from cache. Problem with that is she shouldn't have any cache as its been cleared. I searched around this issue, found a suggestion saying to clear DNS cache, tried that and suddenly Firefox worked. I then logged into her username on DeviantArt through Firefox and suddenly the issues returned. I eventually was able to log out and things worked again. Now when I log into her account through Firefox it works fine. Safari still has issues.
I've even deleted the cache.db file in the library/safari folder and quit/restarted Safari and still no success. I've tried disabling cache through the developer options. The status code 304 error made me believe that the reason the images weren't showing up is because there is no cache for those images but the server is telling the browser to use the cache so the images cannot load. One last thing I can mention is that on the console in Safari, it often just returns many errors for all the images on the site saying it didn't respond. One time there were errors saying something about the security certificate but I refreshed numerous times after that and that error never showed up again in the console. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Hi ...
Start here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
If nothing helped from that link, try troubleshooting Safari plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safai > Preferences then the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Safari won't display my site, works with Firefox

Hi
For some reason safari does not load my website. It shows an entirely white page with nothing on it. However the site has no problems being viewed by Firefox and IExplorer in both Mac and PC systems.
Please take a look - http://www.ladyofmann.com this page loads and when you click on "gallery" link the page opens with nothing on it.
The pages is all simple HTML
Thank you

ooh it's not quite simple I reckon....
a whole lotta errors ( see here )
& a quick fiddle with the page code shows that safari renders the page ok'ish ( hmm, no slideshow tho' ) if the
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
</style>
near the beginning is removed, dunno why yet, it's 1/4 past midnight & wine clouds my mind , but I suspect it's just err rubbish xhtml & fixing the errors and/or using html ( & relevant doctypes etc etc )if that's easier, will sort it out. Safari tends to be unforgiving of code errors, see?

Safari won't display graphics for some web sites

There are some sites that Safari won't display all of the graphics. For instance, nissanusa.com opens to a blank page with a little "feedback" symbol in the lower right corner. Similarly, the infiniti.com page has some text but no graphics. Both pages open fine on Firefox. There are other pages, but I prefer not to have to switch back and forth between browsers. Am I missing a plug-in that I don't know about?

Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!

Safari won't display pages

I've looked at some post, but didn't find an answer yet..
I'm running Safari 2.0.4 and since yesterday it won't display some sites ... I am in Austria, and it seems to me as it would only display austrian/germany sites, ?? it still loads every page, but does not display the contend eg when i click the RSS button - it shows the up2date rss feed, but never the actual website ...
I made 2 changes in my System:
1) I installed iwork 08 trial, and therefor
2) a bunch of systemupdates (don't rember exectly what )
i tried resetting safari, clearing the cache, installing (and after failing uninstalling) 3.0.3 deleting com.apple.safari.plist, uninstalled stand and safari block
everything works fine in any other browser (shiira, firefox)
thanks for reading and recommendations
jfkjrii

as said the site is "working" - it gets the favicon it could read the rss feed .. it just isnt displayed

Safari won't display pdf in browser

Posted before in wrong forum.
I am really sorry if this has been posted before, but I have been searching the forums and can't find an answer to it. I was also looking for the FAQ article about this that Apple says is an answer, but can't find that either.
Anyway, using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Safari won't display pdfs in the browser. It is gray with the Acrobat logo.
I remember reading that the solution is to uninstall (delete) Safari and reinstall 3.0.4. However, I cannot find an install for 3.0.4 for Mac, and then do something with Acrobat. I am using 3.0.4 because it was part of a bundled OS update. I can't go back and downgrade my OS...
What do I do?

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

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.

Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?

Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Sounds like you may have a hardware problem since it won't read from DVD, and it is only a year and a half old. Hopefully all it is, is bad RAM*:

That page's troubleshooting for the "Filter failed" message worked out. I consulted the Wiki before but never found that exact page. I guess I didn't use the best search criteria. Thanks for pointing it out.

Seems to be an Apple or FB app problem. Nothing you can do but wait for it to be fixed.

HT1414 When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

When I go to delete messages on iPad 2, I hit edit but get archive sometimes and delete at other times. How can I get just delete.

When viewing mail am having trouble deleting old mail. I hit edit bit get archive sometimes and delete at other times. Is there a way to just delete?

You need to be more accurate in the questions you're asking. I can't see your machine nor read your mind, so you have to allow for my limitations.
Can I get rid of the "extra" versions?
What extra versions? Are you sure these psd files are actually there?
Do I need it on the computer in all of those versions?
Need what?
If not, how do I go about downsizing that outside of deleting the actual photo?
Downsizing what?
but is there a way to downsize the actual file or are all of those formats standard to the image?
What formats? What image?
Here's something I can help with:
We plan on moving older photos to an external hard drive
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Hi,
When trying to download 4.3.3 for iphone 4 with firewall off and antivirus off i keep on getting the error code 3259 - sometimes it times out after a few seconds other times it will be half an hour - can anyone help?

Before beginning the download, try temporarily disabling the antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required and is running with that secure OS.

Firefox 3.6.2 won't display the CSS correctly in VBulletin 4.1. Safari, Explorer and Firefox 4 beta work fine!

My upgraded site: http://www.thesabrehood.org/thehood/forum/ has CSS that displays fine with Safari and IE and the new Firefox Beta 4... but it won't display with the latest upgrade of FF3.6x. Obviously you fixed some code in V4 beta.. how about fixing 3.6x while you're at it!!!!

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.
