Sub-par Safari (Pages won't load, 404 errors, and paritally loaded pages)

Hey,
I just upgraded to OS X 10.4.5 (from 10.2.8) and it's a wonderful change of pace! I can't believe I waited this long! I have only one complaint...Safari is TERRIBLE. I have found that when it browses it only partially loads pages, never loads images, all adds "cannot be found - 404 error code (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and then sometimes the desired pages have different apperances, or won't load at all (again a 404 error code). On a few occasions it has even opened the same page repetedly! I go to apple.com, and it loads. Then I go to zdnet.com, and it loads apple.com (though it displays Zdnet on the title bar and the web address!)
Can anyone help me out here. I'd love to us the RSS feeds...but with all these bugs I can't even get through a session of use without becoming completely frustrated.
Thanks!

Have you tried using masking Safari as another browser to see if the pages the machine is visiting have been instructed not to show content if the browser is not one expected?
If you go to the Debug menu and select user agent, you can disguise Safari as another borwser. Also, from the Debug menu, you can use the Open page with menu to select the alternative browser you would like to use to open the pages.
Alternatively, you might contact the owners of the site(s). Also, you might go to the Safari menu and Report Bugs to Apple.

    I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
    If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

  • The page cannot be found 404 Error. Any 1 know how to fix this error?

    I try to open this site.It does try to open but when the page is almost done. it kicks up . The page cannot be found 404 Error
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&friendId=469022772&appParams=null

    Look closely at the URL you posted. The protocol designator (http://) is repeated TWICE.
    Change http://http:// to http:// and it will work fine.

    Then you have two version of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.x is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

    I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

    I've done this by dragging files from my user page to her drop box. In Finder, drag the required files and hover over the hard disc icon in the navigation bar on the left. As you hover, it will open another finder window showing the contents. Work your way down these windows into <Her username | Public | Dropbox>. Drop the files into the dropbox. She can then retrieve them from her user page.
    Good luck,
    Stephen

  • Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

    Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

    I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

  • Safari won't display a site correctly, sometimes page takes extended time to respond and partially loads other times images wont load

    So I have a friend who I've been trying to assist with this. I don't know if she has issues with other sites or she may not have encountered any yet, but one in particular is just not working. It started about a month ago around the time she moved (so different ISP/router etc.) though not entirely sure if it started right after that or if it was just coincidence. Anyways she cleared cookies/cache, no luck. I had her update and restart the computer, still not working. Disabled all extensions, still doesn't work. It can take upwards of 30-45 seconds to even respond in some cases, and when it does sometimes the page is all white with just text improperly formatted, but the background doesn't display at all, other times the background images and text are displaying correctly but the nearly all the user submitted images on the site (deviantart) will not display. I believe she mentioned it occasionally happened on tumblr as well.
    Other computers on her network are fine. I downloaded Firefox to see if it was a problem that persisted across browsers and indeed it did. So I went into the console on Firefox and looked at further information and it was returning Status Code 304 Not Modified which I looked up and that says it is telling the browser that the images should be loaded from cache. Problem with that is she shouldn't have any cache as its been cleared. I searched around this issue, found a suggestion saying to clear DNS cache, tried that and suddenly Firefox worked. I then logged into her username on DeviantArt through Firefox and suddenly the issues returned. I eventually was able to log out and things worked again. Now when I log into her account through Firefox it works fine. Safari still has issues.
    I've even deleted the cache.db file in the library/safari folder and quit/restarted Safari and still no success. I've tried disabling cache through the developer options. The status code 304 error made me believe that the reason the images weren't showing up is because there is no cache for those images but the server is telling the browser to use the cache so the images cannot load. One last thing I can mention is that on the console in Safari, it often just returns many errors for all the images on the site saying it didn't respond. One time there were errors saying something about the security certificate but I refreshed numerous times after that and that error never showed up again in the console. Anyone know what might be causing this?

    Hi ...
    Start here >  Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
    If nothing helped from that link, try troubleshooting Safari plug-ins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safai > Preferences then the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • I load cbc.ca and it loads ok then a grey screen covers the page and freezes everything - doesn't happen on other browsers

    I load cbc.ca - I assume other sites but haven't test - and it loads ok - then a grey screen covers everything and freezes the content- Other tabs work fine for other pages just not cbc.ca - what's wrong. This happens on all my copies of ffox. So not just a single computer.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

  • Blog entry page won't publish from iWeb and MobilMe....

    For some reason my blog entry page wont publish on my website. The rest of the site does, including my blog and archive, but not the new page. I do see the new page on the blog page, but when you click on it the new page has no text or pictures. When I published (uploaded) everything went as usual, I just can't see that page published. Any ideas?

    Have you tried the File->Publish All to Mobileme menu option? That often will jump start a belligerent page.

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.

    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Handling 404 errors and web robots

    I'm using CFMX 6.1.
    We handle our own errors for page not found (404 errors). But
    I'm finding that web spiders/robots from search engines such as
    Yahoo or Google seem to index these "page not found" custom pages.
    I want them to get the message that the page isn't found and DON'T
    index it, while displaying our custom error page to the human web
    visitors that encounter the same URL.
    How do you do this?

    Google "robots.txt" for information on how to tell web bots
    what pages
    should and shouldn't be indexed.

  • HT202879 Pages from iWork09 on older Mac and using new Pages doc. on it

    I have Pages [iWork09] on my MacPro [main machine] which is older and runs 10.7.5....I have Pages 5.1 on my MacBookPro which is running Mavericks - the problem arises because once I open a Pages doc. in my MBP it becomes a newer version and when I save it back to the MP, I can't open it =  I tried to download and install the new Pages on the MP and it won't because it requires ver. 10.9 - but I can't get that on my MP == so what do I do to work with documents worked on the MBP and yet saved to the MP?

    Pages v5+ document format is entirely different from previous versions and Pages ’09 v4.n cannot open it. Since Pages v5+ is missing about 100+ features from the previous v4.n, you have no assurance that content you create in the older version will survive intact into Pages v5+, or via roundtrip by Pages v5+ exporting to Pages ’09 document format.
    If you had iWork ’09 installed on the MBP before installing the Pages v5+ application, the iWork bits will remain unscathed in /Applications/iWork '09 folder. If true, I would standardize on Pages v4.n on both platforms for now. If you only have Pages v5+ on your MBP, then I would recommend 1) export to Pages ’09, for sort of compatibility with your iWork on the MacPro. Or, you could simply standardize on .doc between the two. Pages v5+ defaults to .docx on export, both this is selectable to .doc.
    Any Pages document that you double-click to open on Mavericks will be opened (and mangled) by Pages v5+. A right-click on the icon, then choosing Open With... Pages (4.3) would keep things sane.

  • My website page won't display in IE7 and goes wierd in Safari

    Can anybody help before I give up webdesign forever?
