Visited link not viewing as read in Safari

Usually when I read a thread on a forum, it will unhighlight (so to speak) to acknowledge that I've already read it. safari is no longer doing that unless I use the refresh button.
It used to do it if I clicked the back arrow to go to list of thread to read.
Anyone else experiencing this?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click:   Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Visited links not changing color on iPad Safari or other browsers

    Hi,
    On my iPad, when I visite a site via an hyperlink and then go back to the initial page, the color of that link is not changing anymore like it is on my MacBook. For example, in Google search, the visited links don't turn violet and remains blue instead. This is the case in Google search, Yahoo but not with Bing. The problem occurs on all my iPad web browsers (Safari, Atomic Web...).
    Is it a bug or a config thing that I can fix myself ? Anybody have any idea or did find a solution to this same problem ?
    Thank you,
    Daniel

    Well, I'm a mixed bag. After wasting time and missing the point earlier, thinking that this was about the Google app, today I finally suss to the fact that the discussion's a tually about in fhe browser ...
    Anyway, I take a look and, sure enough, the first one I try does pop into a violet color when returning to the results page. I thought it distinct enough to easily notice, and couldn't remember seeing it before (use the app most of the time).
    Unfortunately, that was rthe one and only time I saw that happen over the next ten minutes of running searches on multiple topics. All subsequent cycles showed the exacrt same shade of blue on return, and this includes tests run in the middle of and following such steps as clearing the app (cache, cookies history), force quitting the app, and restarting the iPad.
    Nothing made any difference. That first time was the one and only time, so far, that I saw the color change.
    Also tried a Reset. No change. I guess if it's really supposed to work then a Restore might do it but .... I think not.

  • I can not view pdf's in safari but I use to be able to.

    I can not view a pdf in safari and I used to be able to. I can view pdfs in preview but i often click on pdf links and it takes me to a blank page. I have looked into it and I found that adobe acorbat is the recomended viewer for safari. I have tried to find out if i have still got it and I have found a few acrobat plug-ins. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thanks

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • How do I NOT view PDF files in Safari?

    When I click on a PDF link on a webpage in Safari it no longer opens by downloading or opening in Preview. Now it opens a new tab, all in gray and displays the message that I must quit Safari, open Adobe Reader, and accept a license agreement to view the PDF in Safari. Since I don't want to do that, ever, does anyone know how I can go back to the way it was before this started? It's been doing this for a month(?) now.

    There is a little tool, where you can set wheter Safari should display the PDF (and then you can download it) or not display it and download directly:
    Safari-display-or-download-pdf.app.

  • Visited links not in different colour at certain sites FF4

    In FF4 the visited links of some sites are forgotten. It is enough that you refresh the site. In FF 3.5 there is no problem.

    Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here
    are some

  • Safari visited links not changing color

    My safari links aren't getting "marked" as visited in Safari on my new ipad air. So far, this experience with ios7 has been lackluster.

  • Links not working in Reader 10 on Android...

    When opening a .pdf document in reader 10 on my Android tablet, the links to other pages in the document do not work.
    Yet when I open a different .pdf document, the links DO work.
    HELP!

  • Links not working in Reader for some

    Hi,
    I'm making PDF documents from InDesign and then opening up the PDF in Acrobat Pro on my Mac and adding in links. Once I save and open the PDFs again, I'm able to click on the links in both Pro and Reader and they work on my computer, but for others on a PC using the Reader 11, the links don't work. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
    Thanks!

    Hmm. Sounds like something went wrong with the links. Are they spelled out (using http://www....etc) or are they hyperlinks? If they are spelled out, you could have your version of Reader set to recognize links and they may not (Edit>Preferences>General>Basic tools - Create links from URLs).
    To create links in ID, highlight the text, go to your hyperlinks pallet and in the drop-down select "New link" and fill in the appropriate information. Then when you export it to PDF from ID, in the "General" settings section under "include" select "Hyperlinks".
    There are other options you may want to be aware of but that's better asked about in the ID forum.

  • Visited links on safari do not change color

    Hi, I use safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and when i browse the search results on google, the color of visited links does not change (it should turn form blue to purple). This does not happen when i use other browsers. I have already tried to reset and empty cache.. ANy suggestions?? this is very annoying

    I don't know if they're not changing color for you, but for me the purple (visited link) looks too similar to the link (blue) for my bad corneas to distinguish unless I squint.
    I found the link below helped, and it works!
    How do I change color of links visited?

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    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 by pressing 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.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 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.

  • How do I stop Safari from Changing Visited Links Color's?

    I recently switched from Firefox to Safari since I find Safari much faster. I do have one annoyance though. When I click a link (especially in forums) and revisit a page with that link, Safari is changing the link's color. Firefox did this too, it changed visited links from blue to purple.
    I would like to set it somehow so Safari doesn't change the color of visited links at all. Is this possible? When I googled I saw many different posts about using custom made CSS style sheets. I just want to get an 'official' or more relevant answer since many opf those posts were years old. I'm using the latest Safari.
    Thanks!

    AFAIK, it's not possible with preferences, per se. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7183566 and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslinks.html for possible hints. You might also investigate modifying one of Safari's css files, inside the Safari app—left as an exercise, with no guarantees that you won't cripple something.

  • PDF links not working in Safari?

    I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
    Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

  • Change visited link color in Safari 5.1.3

    Visited link colors in Safari, most notably visited Google links when I return to the search page, don't change colors as they used to do...  Actually, I think it's been that way for a long time (years) now but I am just now coming back around to being interested in why and if there is a way to get back to the days where new links were BLUE and visited links were GREEN (or whatever color you wanted)... 
    Is this still possible with the new Safari and if so, how do you go about setting this visted link color preference???
    thanks... bob...

    This appears to be an issue affecting most versions of Safari from about version 5 onwards.
    I recently experienced it with Safari version 5.0.6 and eventually found a fix adequate for my purposes.
    1 - Sometimes simply selecting 'Private Browsing' (on Safari menu) and then deselecting it cures the problem.
    2 - If that does not work I use the following Terminal command which has, so far, worked every time:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari RegisteredSafariSyncClient -bool false
    I must point out that I do not intend to use any sync services but it appears that if Safari gets confused it is necessary to use this command to reset its sync services.
    3 - If you don't like using the Terminal command you could trash the following preference file although this more brutal approach is more likely to lose data:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit from Safari before attempting 2 or 3.
    I have only tested the Terminal command on Safari 5.0.6 on a Leopard G4 without any user defined sync services but it will probably work on other versions and OSs. It is always safest to backup first.

  • How to backup visited links on Safari

  • "Previous View" Links not Working

    I have a document ( a multi-page process flowchart) that has "Previous View" links embedded into it.  When I view the document in the Adobe Acrobat reader app for iPhone, the "Previous View" links do not work.  My other links (links to specific document pages) however, work fine.  Is this a bug in the app, or could this be a compliance problem with my document?

    Within Adobe Acrobat 10 (full version -- not just the reader), if you click on the link tool, you can highlight an area on the doument.  You can then define the link appearance and actions (such as go to a specific page number, open a file, go to a URL, etc). If you select "Custom" for the action, you can then specify from a whole list of diffent menu items (zoom in, zoom out, first page, last page, previous view, last view, etc...).
    I find that my previous view links works great in a web browser on my PC or Mac (works in IE7,Safari, Firefox), but not in Acrobat for IOS.
