Safari wont display pages it apprently loads

Today I fired up a G4 laptop (OS 10.2, 1gigRAM) and SAFARI would not display anything despite the progress bar indicating the page had successfully loaded. All I have is a blank page.
It doesnt matter whether I access the internet via wireless or cable modem. I purged the cache and it didnt help. Later, I downloaded FIREFOX and it seems to work fine.
My problem is specific to this machine (my other Macs are fine) so I am convinced the problem is application related. Any guidence is appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi,
One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is browse 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)

  • Safari not displaying pages correctly after upgrade to Mavericks

    Hi, I just upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2010) to Mavericks and safari now displays web pages as if I was really zoomed in. When I load a page I will see it correctly for a second and it will then zoom in (no amount of pinch on my trackpad solves the problem). I can cmd - a few times to get it back to a normal display size, but I need to do it for every tab I open. When I open chrome, everything displays properly. Any Idea on what could cause this problem? Thx in advance
    Sorry if I am not posting to the right forum, kinda new here

    Try holding the control key and using a 2 finger swipe up or down (direction depends on how you have the track pad set) and see if you may inadvertently done zoom from this, it is different from a pinch zoom

  • Safari not displaying page

    Hopefully, someone is much more experienced than I. I cannot get Safari to display a slide menu that is coded in javascript yet it works in every other browser, IE, Netscape, Opera and Firefox. The following is the link to the html page: http://www.designoutput.com/testslide.html
    I believe it is a lack of understanding on my part of how Safari accepts code. all help will be appreciated.

  • Safari suddenly displaying pages in a strange font

    There are 3 users on my system and this is just affecting me. When I go to any web page what would normally be shown in a normal font has been changed to an almost unreadable one. It's not all the text on the page, and some pages are a lot worse than others (some look completely normal). Nothing has been changed in safari's preferences - I still have ordinary fonts for the standard and fixed width font. This must have something to do with installing a few new fonts into font book to have a look at and then deleting them again. But I can't understand how one could end up affecting the way safari shows a page? I've cleaned the font caches. Tried a restart - nothing helps. It has to be a local change as my other two users are unaffected. Any ideas?

    Problem solved! It turned out to be an errant font that I'd installed but which hadn't shown up in Font book called 'mech'. I hadn't thought any more about it yet somehow had begun to interfere with the text of a web page. After looking in the font folder I discovered it was in there and when I went to delete it I was told it was still in use. Quit safari, deleted the file, relaunched and everything back to normal. Can't explain why it was able to alter safari though.

  • Safari wont open page

    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    Worked before, but all of a sudden I cant open the amazon web page from my powerbook when in safari. It opens in explorer, and on my old ibook on the same wireless isp set up. when I try to open the site, it freezes at about page three and never finishes loading. I tried it with a new user set up, same thing.
    Tried to reload 1.3.2 but the installer wont let me install it or 1.3.1
    Help!

    It maybe an issue where the browser does not support the specific technologies being used on those pages. Amazon may have updated their web underlying technologies being used. You may need to use another browser like firefox or explorer, however explorer is no longer supported by microsoft. Alternatively, you may want to look at purchasing Tiger and getting the latest technology through Safari.

  • Safari wont display pictures

    Have seen quite a few topics on this already but the advice seems to be to post a new question ...
    Safari recently stopped showing images on web pages or google image searches. Upgraded to OSX 10.4.7 and Safari 2.0.4 but problem still persists.
    Display images button is checked, have reset, moved all plug-ins, deleted safari.plist file but to no avail ... I have seen some advice on a libJPEG.dylib file but that was for 10.4.6 & 2.0.3 and it all looked a bit scary for a novice like me.
    Can anyone offer some advice/help? Thanks

    Eme,
    I tried checking the Flashpix & Photoshop image boxes in Quicktime preferences but no change so I set them back to unchecked.
    All system and quicktime preferences seem to be the same between the main account and the test one I set up.
    I had not repaired permissions and so I ran it, but without any effect ... still no images in safari. I have pasted the log file below. There were some repairs but whatever it was, it didn't fix the problem.
    Do I have any other options beyond a complete re-install ? That would be a bit of a nightmare !!

  • User account control message displays every time, minimise and close buttons not displaying, pages slow to load

    Every time I try to open a page, I get a user account control message asking for permission to proceed. I have tried to adjust the frequency of this but have been unsuccessful. This has only started to occur recently.
    Pages are slow to load and do not properly display the close, minimise etc buttons in the top right corner (these are blacked out)
    I have tried to reset firefox. This does not fix the problem.
    The problem does not occur using Internet Explorer

    There are several things to try.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Safari Problems (Slow, Pages won't load, etc)

    Hi,
    My MBPro is less than a year old. All software is up to date.
    My new 802.11 AC router is installed without a problem.
    Safari keeps lagging in loading pages. Sometimes they just don't load.
    I thought it was the router or internet connection but it's not.
    Google Chrome is lightening fast.
    I've cleared cache, browser history, etc.
    Not sure what else to do.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    What version of the OS are you using?
    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • Safari-Certain Web pages won't load

    As of 2/25/06 I am having problems in loading certain web pages from Safari, Fox fire or even Netscape. I am able to load Google but not Yahoo. I can't load any site connected to www.tamu.edu. Some sites I have used often and some are new. My internet provider is stumped. I have dumped caches and reset Safari but that did not help. Most sites are loading but a select few will not. On Safari I will get the message "Connection has timmed out" or "Server stopped responding." Any suggestions? Thanks
    JDKW

    this may or may not help, depends on how you connect to the internet.
    I've been having problems with safari not loading some pages and being slow for a couple of days.
    so i tried the other browsers and got the same, couldn't connect to the itunes store either.
    I connect using a router with a couple of mac's networked, I've being driving myself insane trying to gte things sorted, finally I reset the router, everything is now working.

  • Thumbnails wont display pages in a chapter that I know are there and have pasted in

    Hello everyone.
    I am an author and have previously published two books in the iBookstore using iBooks Author. The third one that I'm attempting to lay out is giving me major problems for some reason. I have a MacBook Air 13 inch Mid 2013 Processor  1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Mac OSX 10.9.5 and the latest iBooks Author 2.1.3. My screen window is as large as it can go on my screen, and everything seems to work fine when I select a chapter layout and just drop the text in, but then when I go back and start modifying some of the page layouts by changing say, from a two column text only page to a one column text and half page image, or any of the other options, it works okay for the first couple of times but then I see that the last couple of pages of text in that chapter have been 'pushed' off the end of both the thumbnail pane on the left hand side of the screen, and in the main window itself. I can't get to them because the scroll bars in both the main window and the thumbnail pane are at the ends of their travel and won't let me see any more of the pages that I know must be there, and were there before I started putting images in... I took a screengrab and on the very right hand side of the main window you can just see a portion of the next text page, but I can't scroll on to it or access it in any way, which has brought everything to a grinding halt. Is there a page limit within each chapter that I don't know about? (I currently have about ten pages in this chapter, but that might go up to about 13 if I was able to drop some more images in.) The images are all jpegs, maximum size of around 13 MB, average around 8MB. I noticed that the 'Media' file took a very long while to load images into from IPhoto, and I don't know whether that indicates a problem between iPhoto and iBooks Author or not? I still have my two original iBooks stored in the iBooks Author memory, and wonder if I have somehow exceeded an overall memory size in the app or not? Or is it something much more basic that I'm doing wrong? I've quit the programme several times and rebooted, to no effect. Any ideas or help would be appreciated please. PS I'm not a tech head, so terminal-speak doesn't mean anything to me by the way...!

    Hold everything guys! I think I've solved the problem – by manually adding on extra text pages at the end of the thumbnail pane, it kind of 'catches up' with the rest of the text. I was expecting this to happen automatically, like when you paste in text the first time around, but clearly this doesn't happen and you've got to do it yourself... Note to Apple: a 'flow-on' updating feature for page layout changes would be good to incorporate next time around please.

    10 marks for recognising the Latin (sort of) that is the placeholder text in your template.
    You are using a Word Processing template. WP templates have content flowing from page to page. As one page fills up, a new one is created. If some of that text is deleted or displaced the pages retract.
    When you combine text, invisibles like word spaces, returns, tabs, page breaks etc with objects that have text wrap set, the mix can behave in an apparent odd fashion.
    Start with showing where everything is:
    Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
    Start with getting rid of any excess returns you may have used to "position" things. Next cut and paste objects like textboxes, shapes, charts and tables "Inline" ie in as part of the text. If necessary also turn off text wrap on objects or minimise it so that doesn't push text completely out of the way.
    Insert Section breaks in the Text where you want fixed breaks in the layout these will provide separation between layout on different pages.
    Basically you need to clean up your layout or think about doing it another way.
    If there is a lot of layout, you will need to learn Pages methods for doing this in a WP template or do it in a Layout template where each page is individual and all objects are floating with no default text area.

  • Safari not displaying pages correctly...

    I have a new iMac with two accounts on it. One for my wife and one for me. On my account, safari works fine regardless of the website. However on my wife's account safari, cuts off some of the content and some of the text appear to be too large for the frames. In both accounts the safari's settings are set to default and are identical. The only difference that I can figure out is that my account is the admin, and my wife's isn't. The error does not happen on all webpages, just a couple here and there. I have changed her over to firefox for the time being, but it is bugging me that I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If your wife added fonts to her /Users/herhome/Library/Fonts folder, that could be the problem.
    If that's the case, have her remove them.
    Also she could do the following:
    1) Quit all open applications.
    2) Delete the fonts caches with FontNuke +(or with whatever utility you normally use)+
    FontNuke <http://www.jamapi.com/pr/fn/>
    3) Restart
    4) Open the Font Book->Edit menu 'Select All' fonts - from the File menu select 'Validate Fonts'
    from the Edit menu select 'Resolve Duplicates'
    Good luck,
    Tom

  • Safari error wont open page invalid address

    Ok, have tried several ways to sort this issue. Until recently, no issues opening my page on Photobucket via safari. But recently, photobucket page will load, but then a popup message immediately appears that says Safari cant open the page because the address is invalid. Have cleared history. No luck. Thebpage is loading, but then basically the abovementioned message comes up, i can click oK but it immediately reappears and will not go aay. Have to reboot Safari and clear page before it loads otherwise cant use safari.
    Any ideas of a solution?

    Also, note that i have tested the same address on PC and it works fine. Typed address into search bar and again, the page opened but then the message came up and will not go away.
    So, i know that the page address is correct and works on other systems, just not on my iphone or ipad. Both have the latest software update installed.

  • Help-Safari wont load any pages-others having same problem

    Safari wont load any pages. Tried reinstalling Safari. Nothing. Zip. Notice that people on the Safari for Windows board are having the same problem.
    WHAT IS GOING ON? Anyone know?
    I get the menu bar, but not Bookmarks, etc. Cannot see a blank page. Cannot open a blank page, BUT my efforts (Untitled and Untitled 2) are reflected in the Dock. A right-click there shows that the pages are open, but obviously invisible.
    I really need to fix this.
    Firefox works. As do other apps.
    Message was edited by: mashamax
    EDIT:
    The last thing I did before this happened was open a .pps file I got in email. If I do what was suggested in the Safari for Win post where someone is having the same problem: empty the cache, everything becomes greyed out. Its as if everything becomes invisible.
    If I click on a link in Apple Mail, the URL shows up in the dock right-click as if it has mounted, but it hasn't. No window. Nothing.

    Do you actually have a data plan from your cellular provider?
    Being connected to 3G does not automatically indicate that a data plan exists on the account or is even set up correctly on the carrier side.

  • Safari won't display page after loading

    So the latest update of Safari is a few bricks short of a load...
    On many pages, I get a blank page after Safari finishes loading them in.  I thought it was internet problems, but when I resize the window even slightly, the content appears.
    Obviously something not right...

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Enable plugins.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. If pages load as they should, folllow the instructions for troubleshooting.
    Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If you have anti virus software installed, that could be the culprit also.
