Some common sites misbehaving with Safari

I need mlb.com like I need water and air. But after the recent updates the site doesn't re-load properly ever 90 seconds like it should (in order to update scores).
Also, the links in the Flash pages do not open.
I have seen a few other popular sites behave this way.
Leopard, Safari, Flash are all fully updated.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

For what it is worth (and maybe not much!) I have the following fonts set in Safari Preferences:
Standard Font: Verdana 18
Fixed-width font: Monaco 14
and Default Encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1)
and I have not seen the problems you describe.
Yes, Helvetica fractions and Times Phonetic should be deleted altogether, not just disabled.
I know you are running Leopard and I am on Tiger, but Safari 3.0.4 is the same for both.

Some webpages not loading with Safari 5.1

I have Safari 5.1, snow leopard 10.6.8 and I can't get certain websites to open. (kol.coldfront.net) for example. The same site will not open on my wife's ipad 2. nor would it open when i downloaded and tried firefox. i have tried deleting cookies, emptying caches, resetting airport extreme, resetting cable modem, restarting both computers....all of those things again, simultaneously...I have also tried messing with the DNS, added some open dns stuff. also tried updating flash. pretty much anything a google search suggested i do. then i called apple. they said because its more than one machine it sounds like the websites are not supported? any help would be appreciated...

yeah. I noticed the same thing. now the splash screen comes on without the flashing green squares and just hangs. i tried unintalling and then reinstalling and still no go. kind of annoying but they will probably come out with an update pretty soon

Some sites like Facebook have a setting to force a secure connection. 
You can look at this link on how to disable forcing a secure connection in Facebook.

Firefox gave me "URL not valid & cannot be loaded" on SOME common sites. Tried clearing cache & cookies; no help. ALSO just checked using IE browser, and it would not load that site. Bank still works; shopping still works... what gives?

I'm strictly a user; not an IT guy. I can follow directions but need as much specific help as possible - i'm always afraid when i try corrective actions, i'll "break" something else. Need help quick for daughter & me (job hunt).
Other sites besides one listed gave same problem. But (in this case) ACT.org worked fine...

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

FF8, Win 7.... some web sites load with some items shifted off to the right or left slightly. This does not happen in IE or Chrome. How do I fix this?

I am having this problem on several websites including my iGoogle page, the home page of my nonprofit and others. Also, features like the quick add button in Google Calendar on my iGoogle page are missing or don't work.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Can't play videos on some web sites.

Since the last update for Safari I been unable to play videos in some web sites.I checked Safari preferences, under extensions and than list is empty, so I don't have anything that needs updating. Also cleaned cookies, resetted safari, emptied cache and sitll, can't play the videos. No software updates are available and i havent removed anything from my computer (flash player or any other player).
Any idea how to solve this problem? Is it because the new OS Lion, thant Safari changed settings?
Running Mac OS 10.6.8

Thank you so much i just Did that.
Ps> just reading your post my computer crashed and i had to report that to apple too

Any problems with safari after upgrade to 6.2.3

i upgraded to Mountain Lion and now Safari will not open. safari is version 6.2.3. I have installed all upgrades to Mountain Lion. Any suggestions for Safari?

The upgrade may have caused some kind of conflict with Safari.
Unfortunately, on a Mac running v10.8 Mountain Lion, there is no standalone Safari installer.
The only way to reinstall Safari is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery.

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Having some problems with JAVA sites with safari, opera and firefox

I work with some online java application for my work. Since I updated to Leopard, I cant access the site with safari, I loose some options with Opera and Firefox...
Is it the JAVA that is not up to date with leopard?
Any updates soon?
Help!!!

I have experienced memory leaks with the jvm on Leopard. Seem they took a huge step backwards instead of forward.
It should be obvious by now that they didn't include 1.6 as many publications alluded to (Still haven't seen any explicit word from Apple where they officially said "Yes, Leopard WILL have JVM 1.6 at time of launch".)
Don't know if the url below will get filtered out, but many other (non-Apple controlled) forums have been saying nasty things about Apple not explaining themselves for this major snafu.
The article is titled, "So Long Apple. The Party's Over" and hosted by Java Lobby dot org.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Some Web Sites do not open properly in Safari 5.1

Hi community!
First of all let me mention that I switched from PC to Mac last week after getting bored with PCs! So please be tolerant with a newbee :-) And so far so good, the experience is fantastic! (btw I have a MacBook Pro 13.3, core i5 with Leopard and Safari 5.1). Until this issue appeared...
In Safari some Sites do not open properly. Some take ages and images do not appear (for instance www.pokerlistings.com, www.lecho.be). I browsed the various discussions to find some tips, tried a few tricks (repair permissions, close all plugins, reinstall Safari...) but nothing worked. I then tried to install the latest Firefox browser but I have exactly the same problem so I guess it has nothing to do with Safari and must be my system.
Anyone could help me here?
Thanks so much

Thanks but it's not a problem of connexion. The bulk of the sites open properly, just some do not load images or do not open properly (only text as on some mobile devices). I tried everything I found on this forum - changing user, disabling plugins, reinstall, change preferences... nothing works. Really annoying

I can not open some internet sites with my ipad

since i download new apple software 7.2 i can not open some internet sites with my ipad! it lets me open only english sites nothing else...

Try a soft reboot and see if that helps.
1. Press and hold power + home button until screen goes off and apple logo appears.
2. Once the apple logo appears release both buttons and let the phone reboot.
This helps clear temporary files. I assume you've tried deleting safari from multitasking?
You could always try using a different app top browse the internet.
VPN is another solution as it has helped me out before.
Hope this helps.

Problem with Safari keeping a cache of my site...

I'm trying to figure out why Safari is keeping a cache of my swf files which is causing some viewers to see old content. I've tested in IE and Firefox and they seem to be working fine. Is there a work around or another way to solve this issue with Safari wihout dumping the cache for the entire site everytime, and maybe just dumping the cache for the specific swf file that is being updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

sorry for delay old toad. went down for the count with a flu.
ok. web safe fonts? shux. first time i'm hearing the expression.
so i guess that means no.
i used a font i got off the web for free called FAFERS Irregular Serif
i have been quite attached to it, love the look it gives
yes, please look.

Muse 2014 - Problems after converting a Site with Safari

After converting a site to muse 2014 and exporting it to html the JS-error message "Einige der Dateien auf dem Server fehlen oder sind ungültig. Löschen Sie den Browser-Cache und versuchen Sie es erneut. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, wenden Sie sich an den Autor der Website." ("Some of the files of the server are missing or incorrect") apears when opening every site.
I did not made any change to the site itself, the site was only converted and re-exported.
The error is only shown with Safari, but i only tried with IE 10 under Windows

When you republish your site, make sure you upload all files. New versions of Muse may change JavaScript files or CSS files for pages that you have not changed. The error message is indicating there are expected files that are missing or that files it found and loaded were generated from an older version and need to be updated.
