Safari won't load pages with pictures after installing Maverick

I have an older iMac (2008), but it runs great and I have no problems with it.  Except now that i installed Maverick, now Safari doesn't work properly.  For most things, it works fine, then It will quit in the middle of a page.  Or, I have uploaded photos to the Walmart site and had pictures printed.  I can now access everything on that site except my photos and projects.  I get all the background ads and stuff, but not the actual photos.  That part of the page is blank.  There is not eeven the box with the question mark.  I kow they are still there because I can open them with Chrome.  I have tried all the tips I can find here, plus, I have tried Customer support for the website I am having problems with.  The CS people tell me it probably is a temporary problem, but I don't think they are Mac peaple.  So, far, nothing I have tried has helped.  I did have this same type of problem when I upgraded the last time, but was able to fix the problem.  Just wish I could remember how I fixed it.

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 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?
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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot 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, 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.

  • Safari won't load new web sites after one or two are viewed

    I open Safari, view my homepage, go to another website, then when I try to go to another site after that, Safari won't load it. The curser is still a black arrow, the new address in the address bar has the blue loading stripe on it that only fills the address 1/4 of the way and no further. I have to quit Safari and then reopen it to go to another site. Also, it won't quit. I click quit and get the spinning ball for a long time so I have to Force Quit.
    Today I updated Safari to 3.2.3 I was running 3.2.1. I am on Mac OS 10.4.11. I thought maybe the update would fix this problem. But it didn't.
    Any help for this pretty computer illiterate user would be most appreciated!!

    Hey Hawaiian Starman! Aloha!
    Thanks so much for trying to help. I looked at Joe's problem and your reply to go to OnyX. I clicked on the link. Am I supposed to download something, or just work off that site? I clicked on the icon that said maintenance. It opened a window that had the following boxes and the Xs are the ones that were preselected.
    Maintenance: (X) Repair Permissions
    Execute Maintenance Scripts
    Cleaning: (X) System Cache
    (X) Application Cache
    (X) Fonts Cache
    (X) Logs and CrashReporter
    (X) Temporary items
    Rebuild:
    (X) Launch Services
    dlyd's shared cache
    Display of folders content
    Spotlight Index
    Mail-mailboxes Index
    The Xs are the defaults I guess. But I wasn't able to deselect any and choose another?
    Hey Hawaiian Starman, I think Apple should have you on their payroll! You are sweet to help!
    Many thanks for your help and patience.

  • Has anyone experienced problems with Outlook after installing Mavericks?

    Has anyone else experienced problems using Microsoft Outlook after installing Mavericks?  The computer seems to want to continue reloading emails.

    RobertRTillman wrote:
    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
    In fact Microsoft does support Cal and CardDav in Outlook, just not in the Mac version of Outlook.
    Reverting back from Mavericks requires nothing more than a backup of the system to restore from, if you do not elect to make backups that is a choice, but I would venture that it is a bad choice.

  • Problem with Word after installing Maverick

    After installing Maverick word for Mac is not able to be open. Excell & PowerPoint  works without problems. According to local Apple store it's a common problem and I should wait for an update from Microsoft. Does anyonwe faced the same issue ?

    You'd have the same version of Word since the MS updates update all MS Office apps.
    The only thing that I can suggest is to take your question to the MS Office 2011 Mac forums -> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac.
    That's where I'm headed to complain about my font problems!

  • Safari & Firefox: Won't load pages with images

    Everything was working fine one night, and then the next, I couldn't load any pages with graphics. The one caveat: Google loads without a problem, even a Google image search. Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs. Thoughts?
    I've seen similar posts, but none of them really apply, and the only one that did, didn't have an answer.

    Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs.
    You're saying that, in addition to images not loading, pages are loading slowly or not at all, as well?
    If this is the case, then the problem isn't isolated to images. It sounds more like a problem accessing web pages altogether.
    As a troubleshooting measure, try setting fixed DNS addresses, either in your router's configuration or in System Preferences -> Network. For the latter, click on the network connection that you use, e.g. "Airport" or "Ethernet," then click on the Configure button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and enter a pair of fixed DNS addresses in the section with that label, as follows:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    You can copy and paste those directly from this forum into that DNS address field.
    (Those are OpenDNS addresses, available for use by anyone. DNS addresses are the addresses of servers that tell your web browser where to look when you type a web page address in your web browser.)
    If that doesn't work, the problem lies somewhere else. But your symptoms (slow or no page loads; and even when pages load, images not loading) sound a lot like the DNS problems I had before I started using alternate DNS addresses.

  • Safari won't load pages, but internet connection is good

    For the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions. The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
    Also, though not related to mail, the Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.

    Bump
    Could this have something to do with the Software Update error discussed in OS X system board? Various sites are off-limits (Network timeout error) such as E-bay; Microsoft etc. while others work fine.
    Tried a full re-install etc but nothing - no non Apple apps, clean 10.4.3; purged, repaired etc etc

  • Safari won't load pages

    I'm running 4.0.5 and off and on over the last few months it would just stop loading pages. I have it open up to the thumbnail view of the top sites and whether I would click on one of those or click on a site in the bookmark bar, it just shows it thinking. It doesn't freeze, I don't get the beach ball, it just doesn't load the page. As I mentioned, it has done this off and on for the last several months but it usually fixed itself if I let it sit for a few minutes. Over the last two days, it doesn't matter how long I leave it sit while trying to load a page, it just doesn't work.
    Ideas?

    Welcome to the forums!
    (First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl. If you are running Snow Leopard, run Safari in 32 bit not 64 bit. Control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode)
    Do you have enough RAM? Less than 1GB can cause slowness. Is your hard drive too full? Less than 15%, or 15GB, of free space can also cause slowness.
    Adding DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    (An explanation of why using Open DNS is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
    Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
    Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDNS
    Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
    This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
    Click on Apply Now and close the window.
    Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
    If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

  • Safari won't load pages after latest java update

    I did the java update last night and now there are a lot of web pages that don't load. I also tried Firefox and Opera so I believe it is the latest Java update not something else.
    Is there a log some where that I can check to see if there are any error messages or other indications of what is actually happening?
    Java for MAC OS X 10.6 Update 1

    HI,
    If you are running 10.4.8 then you need to update your system software to 10.4.11. And make sure you have the 2009-002 Security Update installed. Open System Preferences/Software Updatess - Installed Updates. Make sure that update is there. If not go here and download and install ...
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
    Then repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    And ... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences - Security.
    Where you see: Web content make sure the top 3 buttons are selected.
    And ..
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • Safari won't load pages from search results

    Weird problem.  Using Safari 8.0.3, I do a search using www.google.com or just search in the address bar.  Google returns the results, no problem.  However, if I try to follow a link by clicking on it, Safari will seemingly try to load it for a while, then I'll get a failed to open page error with Safari saying it can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.  It can be reliable sites like amazon or yelp or others.   If I try the exact same thing in Chrome, no issues.
    Anyone seen anything like this?  Frustrating as I'm going to have to stop using Safari until I get this figured out.  Btw, I don't have any traces of a virus or anything as I don't have ads popping up or anything like that.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and now Safari won't load pages

    Hi, I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 yesterday.  Prior to downloading the new operating system Safari was working perfectly. 
    After I finished downloading Mavericks I tried to open Safari but I have kept seeing a message, either the page was not responding or "Safari cannot connect to the server." 
    My computer says that my Wifi is working, but still I cannot access any webpages.  I can only access them through my ethernet connection.

  • Safari won't load page correctly

    Hi Jeffrey,
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Your link works fine for me with Safari 2.0 and OS X 10.4.2.
    What things have you tried so far to correct the problem?
    One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is browse to that address with Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide.
    If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed - I usually keep a test account for debugging when needed

  • Safari won't load page

    I am trying to load a page but it keeps saying the server was not found. The weird things is that I accessed the page today but then when I tried to access it later it said the server was not found. I am using Safari. I'm not sure what caused it. The only things I have done recently are update my Stuffit Expander. Yesterday I downloaded The Unarchiver and a couple days before that I downloaded UnRarX. The site I am trying to reach is http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/ I tried accessing it using Safari and Firefox and neither work. I have accessed the page before but suddenly the server can't be found. I tried clearing the cache and that didn't work.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the welcome and thanks for checking the link. I think there must be a network/connectivity problem. So far I am the only person who can't access the site.

  • Safari won't load pages but Firefox does.

    My problem seems to be a common one lately. Safari seems to not want to load any pages that have java script on them including the apple.com site. Firefox does this without hesitation. This problem had been intermittent until the recent java update which has now made Safari unusable.
    Will reverting back to the previous java version potentially work, and if so how is this accomplished.
    I am not looking for everyone's speculations as to what MAY be the cause, I would like a definitive answer as to how to get Safari functional at minimum. If someone has been able to figure out a proper fix, then only that person should reply so as to keep others from having to pour over multiple posts of information that are frustrating at best.
    I thank in advance whomever can provide a proper response.

    HI,
    Try this. Go to Applications/Utilities then launch Java Preferences.
    Select the General tab.
    Click the button next to: In their own process
    Quit Java Preferences and relaunch Safari.
    This is working for some users, others not but might be worth a try and you can always change it back.
    I am not looking for everyone's speculations as to what MAY be the cause
    Everyone's configurations are different. We don't speculate. We troubleshoot. We can only go on the information that you give us.
    You changed your profile from Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.6. Which Mac OS X are you running??

  • Safari won't load pages that require passwords

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to Macs having made the switching from an ever problematic HP, and have found it to be a blessing. As such I took it with me to Spain (where I am now) and have encountered NUMEROUS problems with all most every aspect of Leopard and its applications.
    I have found that Safari is unable to access any website which requires you to enter a username and password. I have researched the problem online and have tried several things to fix it including
    1. Restarting Safari
    2. Restarting the computer
    3. Changing Cookie settings
    4. Deleting all the Cookies
    All to no avail
    I didn't have these problems with the Macbook when I was in Australia, nor do I have problems accessing the same websites, through the same internet connection on a friends windows computer OR on firefox on this mac.
    I am at a totally loss and any suggestions would be much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

    I have the same problem. But when I switch to another user on the same computer, I can get the username and password prompt. But in my own login I can't. Something has changed in Safari. I did use Onyx to clear caches and logs, not sure if that had anything to do with it. I have deleted the preferences, reset Safari, tried lots of things, but nothing makes it work. It is obviously a setting on my login since it works on the other login. It works in Internet Explorer. I haven't tried disabling the plug-ins yet in the preferences under Security. I will do that next.
