Saving webpage on safari

Does anyone know how to save a webpage as the home for safari???

There isn't as far as I can tell. ***** a little because I'm going to have to change the directions for my PointAtMe widget where I assumed Safari would have a home button.
So as near as I can figure it is now a a two step process 1) tap bookmark button 2) select home page.

Saving webpages as pdf and/or png in a batch manner? w/ Automator perhaps?

I have some old livejournals that I'd like to archive in some way. A long time ago for one of them, I used Paparazzi to create .png's for every single day's entries. This was slow but it got the job done. For another more recent endeavor with another journal, I was doing the same thing however then I saw the .pdf functionality. I thought, perhaps pdf's would be more useful because they are searchable, although in some ways I like having a plain png as almost a backup to the backup. I realized that I might want to go back to the other journal (which has like 9 years of content) and re-capture it into .pdf and do the same for this newer one... but I will not be taking the time to do this one by one again.
I tried Automator but Paparazzi apparently doesn't have Universal commands even though it has commands within Automator.
So I need another solution, with or without Paparazzi, that will allow me to at the least just type in all the urls (which will only be off by a digit or two for dates, thus saving time overall) and then letting it batch capture into a .pdf or .png.

I appreciate the tip, however it doesn't seem to be efficient. I downloaded and installed it, then I ran this sequence.
Get Current Webpage from Safari
Download URLs as PDFs (downloads file as a number for the day)
Add Text to Finder Items Names (Month- gets added before number)
Add Text to Finder Items Names (Year- gets added after number)
So this works... but only once. The program needs to be closed and re-opened as a workflow for it to download a webpage again properly. It'll create just blank white pdf's otherwise. Then if I make it a stand alone application it gives me an error about it not being universal.
A shame but I appreciated the help.
Does anyone else have any ideas???

Saving Webpages

This is a simple question, but one that I can never get to work in Safari (and I have used it for years, but use other browsers for saving as documents).
I can never get Safari to save an entire webpage in a format that I can save in my computer and include in a file as say, a PDF. Whenever I use the "Save" function in Safari (and select the option that is supposed to include all images, text, etc), all I can ever see are question marks (when I then open the saved filed on my computer). Safari NEVER saves files as a complete image of the website (this is difficult when I must save estimates that are to be included in a report as a PDF). After all of these years, why doesn't Safari provide this feature?
I will continue to use Safari for browsing, but still cannot use it for work or actual saving websites as documents. Am I missing something. or is this a glitch (this happens on all of my Macs in Safari).
I should mention that I can save the webpage in Safari when I use the Grab tool and save the window in Grab, but this seems rather labor-intensive when other browsers can save a webpage as a complete image that can be stored.

Neuro: Thanks for your response. Did you try saving as a Web Archive, then turning off AirPort, and then opening the file?
Scott, I have been able to duplicate your experience by saving in Safari as a Web Archive and then turning AirPort off to simulate trying to open the file while offline. I get question marks where graphics used to be.
I echo Neuro's post regarding printing the file as a PDF (follow his instructions). This works great other than slightly blurry pictures.
My other suggestion would be to try Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html - find the browser of your preferred language under the OS X column). I saved some web pages from Firefox and Firefox created a supplemental folder with supporting items. When I opened the file with AirPort off it worked perfectly for one page and at least better than Safari for the other (images were there but the text and format was a little scrambled). Perhaps if you only need the images and text for reference, and format is not a huge issue, this could be an appropriate solution.
Personally I think that printing as a PDF is a cleaner and simpler solution - you are able to stay with one browser if you have any reservations about having two, and you only have to track one PDF file vs. a folder of files via the Firefox method I suggest.
Your call - I hope we've been helpful!

Print Part of a Webpage in Safari?

Does anyone know how to print only a section of a webpage in Safari?
An example of what I mean is in Internet Exploder under Windoze, you can highlight a section of a web page and then select Print Selected to get a printout of only the information you want.
Anyone know if Safari can do this task?

Brien,
The Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection will open TextEdit (or any other Services aware text editor) with the text you have selected.
You can also use the Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen, or the Grab Utility to take partial (no text edit available) screen pictures.

Can you block webpages with safari

i was wondering if there was a way to block certain webpages with safari, i kno that you can make it so that a user can only view certain webpages, but that would mean blocking everything but the page that i dont want viewed.

Hi yes you can but you need to have the administrator account and you can only specify pages for user accounts. If this is the case then:
In 'safari' go to 'preferences' and 'secuirty' tab. Click 'Enable parental controls'. However this only works in Safari. If you want to stop people viewing pages in other browsers you'll need to set-up on that application or prevent them from accessing it all together in System Preferences.
Hope this works

Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

How to display source code of a webpage in Safari 7.0?

Hello. I'm unable to find how we used to once enable developing tools in Safari Preferences or simply CMD + ALT + A to display the source code of a webpage. Now I've no clue how to display source code of a webpage in Safari 7.0 on Mac OS X Mavericks. Help.

Hi gss2,
Make sure you are not under the Apple icon but under Safari>Preferences>Advanced. All the way at the bottom check the box that says: "Show Develop menu in menu bar."
Now go back to the page you want to get the source code for, right click on it and choose Inspect Element. Hope this helps.
Cheers,

JPG images smaller after saving out of Safari

Maybe I am missing some totally basic knowledge about how Mac OS X handles images or Safari on Mac OS X is very different in this regard as compared to other browsers/systems:
I open a picture in Safari and it says in the title that this image has a size of 1271x1526 pixels. Now I want to save that picture by right-clicking into it and then left-clicking on the option "save image to desktop". That it does, all is well so far, but when I later open that image with preview it's much smaller than it was before. So I used a third-party image browser (CocoViewX) and there I get the full details, the image in the jpg file now has a size of only 153x184 pixels.
If, instead, I click copy in the context menu in Safari and then paste in CocoViewX and export from there in the same format (jpg), the image is full-size, 1271x1526 pixels, again.
What is this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I have to change so I can save the picture in full size right out of Safari without having to copy and paste via another program?
Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
MacMini and also a PC and an iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Dear scapesuiter,
thank you for your input, I wish it were that simple, but this problem occurs after I click the thumbnail and have the complete image in a new browser window. I see the whole image (even have to scroll because it's bigger than my screen) and right in that large image I right-click ...
It almost seems as if Mac OS X (or Safari) is automatically reducing the image size whilst saving it. But in Mac OS X this also doesn't seem to be a kind of thumbnail or so, I double-click the image in the Finder and then I see it in preview and when I click "original size" it's much smaller than my screen as opposed to before saving it from Safari (see above).
Again, thanks anyway, can you think of another reason why "it" might do this?

Post a link to the page, if possible. Otherwise try opening the page in another browser, such as Firefox.

How do i FIND a word on a webpage in safari 7?

Since updating to ios 7, I can't figure out how to find a word on a webpage in Safari. In the older version, I could click on the Search box and search the webpage on the screen for a word or phrase. Surely this great feature that's been standard on all browsers for years is in the new Safari, and I just can't find it. Please help. TIA!

Click on the url bar and delete the url address. You can then type in what you are searching and it will be labeled "On This Page".

Others can view my webpage in Safari, but I cannot

I have my own personal website www.naturalyoga.com which was created on WordPress. I own the domain name. On my Mac computer, I cannot view the webpage in Safari. However, it works in Firefox. Others have tried it as well and it also works in Explorer and Firefox on PC's. Another Mac user could view the webpage in Safari on their computer.
Would this indicate a break in the code somewhere? Or is there some confirgured wrong with my Mac that is not allowing me to view it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
I can view it no problem so try trouble shooting. BTW, beautiful web site!
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.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.

Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or 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. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

Unable to load webpage in Safari that loads fine in Windows XP

I can not load a webpage in Safari that loads fine in Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Hi,
They may be doing some checking of the user agent information the web browser sends and handling Safari incorrectly. Try changing the user-agent to, say, Firefox 3.0.5 and see if you can then access the page.
To change the user agent, you need to enable the Develop menu. This can be done via the Advanced section of the Safari preferences. In the new menu that appears at the top of the screen, you can then select an alternate user agent.
This setting only lasts as long as the tab remains open, so everytime you open a new tab you will need to change that setting from the default.
If that does help, send feedback to the bank about their site not working correctly with Safari. The only browsers they recommend are Netscape 4.5 and IE 5.0 which are both about 10 years out of date
