Safari won't open links without refreshing page

I've noticed a recent problem with Safari where I click on a link and it hangs and doesn't open. I refresh the page and then it opens right up. Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to resolve?

Empty Caches.
1. Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Quit Safari if open.
    Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" and then "Caches".
    Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"
    Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"
    Relaunch Safari.

  • IPhone Safari doesn't open links in new page

    Under iPhone Safari Settings, I've got it set to Open Links In New Page, but when I click on links in Safari, that doesn't happen. When I set it to Open Links In Background, that doesn't happen either. Links open in the same page no matter what the setting.
    Anyone know how this can be fixed? Thanks.
    (iPhone 4S running IO5)

    It depends on the website. Some websites have it set up to take you to a new tab, some do it in the same tab.

  • Safari won't open more than one page at a time

    I only got a new ipad 2 about a week ago. My safari is working perfectly but when I go to open a new tab it freezes and exits the safari. I have tried rebooting it and my iPad is fully up to date. I need help because I can't find any answer to my problem.

    Hi,
    Launch Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/safe+mode Safe Mode]. All extensions and themes will be disabled. Now try to open multiple windows and/or tabs. If it works, it proves you have a corrupt [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#new profile] probably caused by a bad extension (or upgrade).
    To make a new profile:
    * Close Firefox
    * Click on windows start button
    * %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu (without hitting Enter).
    * A list of profiles will appear
    * Change the name of the "default" folder
    * Restart Firefox
    If this solved your problem, you can install your addons, or just copy them from the old default folder (which you have changed the name) to the new one.
    Kind regards,
    Joren

  • Safari won't open .pdf and .wmv pages

    Safari does not work when I try to access a webpage with a pdf. I get a black page and and a spinning ball.
    Safari does not work when I try a link on a web page for a .wmv. This time it's a blank page with a spinning ball. I am even unable to close the tab, and have to force quit safari.
    I have windows media (.app) and adobe. Both functions work well in Firefox, but don't work in Safari. I also have the .app flip for mac, which is supposed to to work with Safari. I'm not sure this is the problem.
    Also, when I close Safari I sometimes get a message asking if I want to send details to Apple re Safari crashing. I guess it doesn't know when I am closing it vs when it crashes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Joe

    I saw that Flip4Mac support was referring some people to the beta version of the current release of their software, due to random WMV streaming problems. You might want to grab that version off their iDisk public folder: Go > iDisk > other users public folder (flip4mac is the member name) You will see a folder called "Flip4Mac installers", download installer v.2.2.039
    If you're gonna try that, I'd recommend uninstalling the current F4M version first. Post back if it works to solve your issues.
    One more note is that you may want to check out the F4M users forum to see if any of your particular problems are mentioned there. The moderator, Craig, is pretty good about responding. Their forum is HERE.

  • Safari won't open my bank site Again....

    hi everybody, safari won't open my encrypted bank page again. my previous post on this subject is here,
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2531205#2531205
    bee solved the problem with the advice below but this time it doesn't help! so, help! any clue? bobbie
    1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
    2. Trash your Icons Folder:
    HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
    Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
    (This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
    rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
    3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
    Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.

  • Safari Won't Open Certain Pages

    There are some pages that Safari won't open... just hangs. Here are the details:
    1. 2 sites affected - https://www.airbnb.ca/  -  https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
    2. Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated
    3. Opens fine with Chrome
    4. Reset the browser settings and no extensions in use other than 1 password
    5. They open fine in iPad Safari
    6. Reset pram
    Appears to be a Safari issue obviously.

    Bee: Sorry for that. I'm obviously not talking about you at all. I'm a person who always tries to be very helpful. If I clicked in a thread and the guy posted a couple links saying that they wouldn't work it wouldn't even dawn on me to not click the link and tell the guy if they worked for me or not. Ultimately, a whack of people read the thread and couldn't be bothered to click and report--yet those people I'm sure will be the first to take the help. I'm not impatient about my issue here... honestly. Sorry if I came off unnapreciative in advance and was owly. If there's anything that I can ever do to help you I will anytime.
    Klaus: Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated ... what else were you looking for?
    (for product specifics, I updated them after the post and could be the reason why they're not showing up. I listed them in the thread anyway. Maybe 2 times a charm??)

  • Safari won't open any page

    I'm using 7.0.5 Safari on Maveriks
    Safari won't open any page, unlimit loading... ... ...
    Chrome and other browsers - working good, no errors.
    App Store and Updates - work well
    No network issues.
    Safari - clear cache and reset safari - didn't work.
    hosts file is ok
    no extensions
    delete all plug-ins except default ones.
    hm.. what else...
    apple extreme wifi router - work's well.
    Other devices at home has internet on it, other macbook pro doesn't have a problem with safari.
    in console - no errors
    any page won't load in safari, just a white screen and loading progress..
    What should I do?

    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, 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.

  • Safari won't open a page

    Hey!
    I've got a big problem: My Safari wasn't able to open a page. So I decided to uninstall it. When I installed it again I still had the same problem as before:
    Safari won't open a page. Even not google.de or google.com
    Firefox works perfect, it's only Safari...
    Is there anything wrong with the Internetoptions? I'm connected wireless with an airportExtreme since two weeks. I don't now if it was working before...
    Anyone knows a solution? : )
    Thank you...
    Björn

    ok, i've found the problem myself... The app piclens made the problem... now it's working fine : )

  • Safari won't open without restart after installing Yosemite

    After I installed Yosemite, safari won't open from sleep mode without me restarting my computer.  Should I or can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall or is there another fix?  Thank You for any help.

    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
              Remember networks this computer has joined
    is checked.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
              Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    3. Reset the PRAM.
    4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
    8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    9. Reset the System Management Controller.
    10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
    Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    and
              Enable Power Nap...
    if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
              Enable Power Nap...
    11. Reinstall OS X.

  • Safari won't open any pages since I downloaded McScan Beta V

    I downloaded McScan's Beta version the other day from securemac. Since then, Safari won't open ANY pages at all, giving me the message, "Safari can't connect to server"
    "Safari can’t open the page “http://aol.com/” because it could not connect to the server “aol.com”.
    I dragged McScan to the trash, and still won't work. I also ran through the Safari Preferences, and made sure I had followed their suggestions, "”.Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Make sure that the checkboxes to use plug-ins, Java, and JavaScript are selected and that the "Block pop-up windows" checkbox is not selected." Still no luck.
    Any idea how I can get Safari to work again?
    Thanks,
