Top sites will not save in Safari
I've tried to change a couple of my top sites in Safari. I'll pin them as permanent, but if I quit safari or restart my computer a couple of sites will be replaced. I've tried to troubleshoot the problem through some info in the discussion board, but have not had any luck. I was able to clear out all of my top sites by deleting the topsite.plsit file and resaved all of the top sites I wanted. Yet, I'm still having this issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Safari
Click Safari in the menu bar and select "Reset Safari".
In the window that opens up select "Top Sites" and click "Reset" button at the bottom.
Best.

Flash site will not run with Safari on a Mac
A friend has helped me to develop a simple web site in Flash
which I use to manage my photo galleries, which are created with
Lightroom or Photoshop. I am familiar with most of Adobe CS3 except
Flash or Dreamweaver, but I can get by with just editing text and
uploading new galleries, so the site works really well for me.
Unfortunately I have received feedback from people using
Safari or Camini browsers and the Mac OS that the site will not
open. They just see black and the message "Get Flash". The site
works great on a PC using both I Explorer and Safari.
I have no knowledge of how to overcome this problem and not
having access to a Mac, no way to "fiidle about" and experiment. I
would very much appreciate some advice from anyone in the know. The
web site is at www.duncangrove.com . Please have a look at my pics
if you check it out!

(Apologies - I previously posted this in the wrong
forum)Hi Duncan,
In the Publish Settings window, in the HTML tab, at the top
of the window under the "Template" option is a second option:
"Detect Flash Version". Check this box. The AC_RunActiveContent.js
file will contain a couple of functions that will test the user's
plugin version. If it doesn't pass the test then the html page will
show a message telling the user to get the Flash plugin and a link
to the plugin. -
Site will not display in safari
Hi There,
This URL quite often doesn't load in Safari: www.svelte.net.nz - if it does load, click a link from the navigation and the next page will be blank.
However, if you click and drag, you see a grey frame that can be dragged, and once you let go, the page loads.
This site loads every time in Firefox & Opera for Mac and PC and IE 6 & IE 7 for PC.
All the ISP URL cloaking code seems to be valid (http://validator.w3.org/) but there is a page error (iWeb) according to the W3 validator. Here is the error:
This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.
Error Line 85 column 29: required attribute "action" not specified.
<form id="search"></form>
The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.
Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.
I've rung Apple in Australia and although they experience the same issue, they're practically useless when it comes to suggesting a fix. This is an extremely frustrating issue where Mac users cannot view our site.
The amount of crap we receive from PC users is annoying. They suggest a change to the switch ads where although Mac is cool and funky, he's actually an idiot who can't read or write.
Could someone please point me in the right direction or help me fix this issue? I've been waiting since November hoping for a Safari update fix.Ben --
Your site opens fine (albeit a little slower than usual)
in both Safari & Camino here.
Have you done all these yet?
Do these & report back, OK ?
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.
If you're still having problems:
4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
5. Run YASU -- It's free, and will clean up old caches, etc.

Some (non-mobile) sites will not fit in safari window, refresh needed
Hi,
Like the title says many sites when I first load them on my phone will only fit about a third of the site in the Safari window, requiring me to either pan horizontally left and right in order to view the content, otherwise I'd have to refresh the site and finally the whole thing fits in the Safari window. I'd assumed this was a Safari/iPhone issue but it has come to my attention that not everyonemay be experiencing this.
I logged on to iTunes last week and was told I had the latest iPhone software. Any hints fo me on what I could do to fix this??My initial response was gee buddy but you just described my problem!! . But I thought to try out what you said. At first, copying and pasting the link simply yielded the same results. So then I decided to work on the formatting. Here's what the original link looks like, if you press and hold down on the "standard" link and then copy:
http://fatwallet.mobi/save_settings.php?viewMobile=0&from=%2Fforums%2Ftopic.php% 3Fthreadid%3D978427&to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fatwallet.com%2Fforums%2Ffinance%2F97842 7
So I deleted out all the stuff before www.fatwallet.com, and changed all the "%2F" to "/", and that worked. So now one of three things will happen, in order of likelihood, most likely first:
1) I'll do the copy and paste thing to avoid having to reload the site to get it to display properly
2) When I forward the info to the content owners, they may modify the link so it works properly.
3) Since this happens with a number of sites, Apple may be gracious enough to supply a fix (told you it was in order of likelihood )
The reason I primarily use the mobile site is it loads efficiently and suits my needs most of the time. Only so often do I need features from the main site so even when I'm on the Edge network I'll tough it out and wait for the site to load. How disappointing when it doesn't load properly -

I am running System OSX 10.7.4 on three different MacBooks. It will not save any of my preferences (system or application based), passwords, log-ins and keychain. Even Safari did not save imported bookmarks. I am running Office For Mac 2011 (v 14.2.1) and Outlook will work for a day or two and then I get a rebuild database error message, losing everything. Word, et all, will not save any preferences, not even recent files.
I did a full erase and clean system reinstall and a fresh install of Office. This problem occurs on all 3 of my MacBook, 2- MacBook Pro’s and a MacAir. One of the MacBook Pro’s is BRAND NEW.
Any ideas, any fixes out there?I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
Macbook air 11-inch, Late 2010
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
helpppp pleaseee... -
Macbook, Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Safari 5.1.1
Since the last software update, Safari will not save bookmarks history.
Prefs. are set correctly, Cache has been dumped, reset done, appropriate .plist trashed, and finally an uninstall and clean install done
with 5.1.1 download from the Apple support site.
The problem still exists, making me very suspicious that this is a bug.
Any solutions? Let's hear 'em.M. Davis:
Thank you for your kind and prompt solution. It is a winner.
Problem solved, again many thanks and a very fine evening/day wherever you
may be.
~Very best.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Firefox will not save Site Certificate Exceptions even when checked to do so.
I have a publicly free Wifi Access point near by that I use daily. When logging on to this site I get a Warning about the Sites Certificate and do I want to proceed, I choose YES and then are asked if I want to make this exception permanent and I put a check mark in the box for yes and press accept. This is suppose to permanently accept this websites certificate in the future. It does not.. It will not save the exception from one session to the next.
IN SHORT: Firefox failure to permanently store website Certificate exceptions.Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

Safari 7.0 will not save PDF
My Safari 7.0 will not save PDF files that can be opened, what do I need to do to get this function working again?
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Apparently since the OS 10.7.4 upgrade, Safari will not save a pdf from a google search page. Error message is "cannot export (file name)". Any Mac users know what is going on here? Firefox works fine. I've ;ooked in Safari and Finder prefs but can't find anything that would relate to this. Trying to download some Camera RAW tutorials. Bookmarked them in Safari, and later d/l in Firefox which sends them to Finder> Downloads by default.
For anyone else who runs into this problem, go to your hard drive's Library/Internet Plugins and trash the two AdobeReader plugins that have PDF in their name, then restart Safari. Many others have had this, starting with some Adobe update. It si probably not copnnected to 10.7.4, since one complainer was using Snow Leopard.

ebay will not load on safari, firefox or camino, but all other sites load without any problems. Why is this? Can anyone help?
It should be: Click on Home Folder (the House) and to the right Library is shown, click on the arrow on the Library folder to reveal its contents and then click on Cookies to reveal its contents and then move the Cookies.plist to the Trash as Carolyn suggests.
Then try eBay again. -
Top sites and video problems with Safari 4.0 and Snow Leopard
Since installing Snow Leopard, I've had problems with Safari 4.0. My Top Sites page doesn't load anymore, I get a blank white page. Also, video tutorials from Apple's own site will not display the video. I hear the audio portion but do not get video. When I load the same pages in Firefox, they run as they are supposed to. In Leopard, everything was fine. Any help resolving these issues would be appreciated.
Nevermind. After restarting a couple of times, it worked itself out.
