Webpage opens only on the second attempt

Hello,
I am on MacBook Air OS X 10.9.3. There is a strange and annyoing behaviour with Safari opening www.spiegel.de - a popular german news site - and only this site. It always needs a second attempt to open this address in Safari Browser.
On my MacBook Air it is reproducable:
1.) Starting Safari (Version 7.0.3)
2.) Opening a new window with "Command-N" and enter www.spiegel.de:
3.) After pressing return key - nothing happens - site will not load and window looks like has been re-opened freshly:
4.) Entering www.spiegel.de a second time and pressing return key, now the page will be loaded:
There are no extensions activated in Safari and Ggogle is set as search engine in the address line.
Can someone help to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Markus

Hello, I don't understand why the steps in the following make the problem disappear but finally it worked:
In Safari: Switching “Do not preload Top Hit in the background” on. (in Safari: "Safari->Preferences .../Smart Search Field/:")
In Safari: Exporting all bookmarks (in Safari: "File->Export Bookmarks …”)
In Safari: Deleting all bookmarks, Top Sites, Cache and Cookies ("Safari->Reset Safari ...)
In Terminal:
cd ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
rm Cache.*
rm fsCachedData/*
rm ./Webpage\ Previews/*
rm com.apple.Safari.SafeBrowsing/*
Quit Safari and starting Safari.
(For testing: entering "www.spiegel.de" in the address line: no "Top Hits" are displayed anymore and the page is loading without second attempt. Success!)
In Safari: Importing the bookmarks again and removing the the particular bookmark that was displayed formerly in "Top Hits". -> Test 6. is still successful.
Would be interesting to know more about the Safari "Top Hits" feature. Yes, i know it helps preloading pages - but what sense does this make to preload pages (cookies and data) whenver i enter a simple prefix "w" "ww" "www" ... in the address line ?!?
Especially like in my case "Top Hits" feature and the algorithm in the background does the job so bad that it determines allways pages as proposals for "Top Hits" that i did not use for a long long time and there were much better matches in my bookmarks with prefix "www".
Maybe someone knows more about the obscure "Top Hits" feature?

  • iframe link to #anchor only works the second time

    I am exploring a way of delivering a local HTML file into a Web Content frame in such a way that it starts at a specific HTML anchor rather than the top of the HTML page.
    Now, since DPS's Web Content overlay does not support the URL+anchor string format (e.g. myfile.html#myanchor), I thought I might achieve the desired result by loading a little HTML file into the Web Content overlay that points to the intended HTML file and its named anchor in an <iframe> tag.
    Here's where it gets annoying. The solution works... but only on the second and subsequent times you call up the Web Content overlay (normally hidden in a MSO).
    The first time I call up the Web Content overlay in my DPS article on the iPad, however, the HTML page displays but not at the specificed anchor point, nor indeed at the top of the HTML page - instead, it seems to start a little bit further down from the anchor. If I dismiss the Web Content overlay (in my case, switch to a different Object State) and return to it, the HTML reloads starting at anchor position, exactly as intended. I can close the folio, re-open it and still the behaviour is correct. It was only the first time that it fails to do the right thing.
    I am very happy that my solution works on the second, third and all subsequent occasions, but it's pretty important that readers see it working first time.
    I have tried delaying the autoplay of the Web Content but this does not make any difference. The anchor is designated using the 'id' tag.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Neil. But you can ask your guys to stand down. Someone got me a strong coffee this evening and I realised I was tackling this from the wrong angle. I have since seen this issue of HTML pages requiring a refresh before displaying correctly in other circumstances, even in Chrome on my computer, so I doubt it is a specific DPS problem - possibly it's something in webkit.
    Anyway, the coffee made me realise that I don't need an iframe to load another HTML file at an anchor. All I need is to pop a little GoToAnchor script in the <head> tag and a call at the beginning of the <body> tag.
    One day, if someone fixes Adobe's utterly broken Cookbooks site, I'll upload a bunch of these recipes.

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

  • Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible?

    Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible? I am now having to bookmark it to the "bookmark menu" and then manually moving it to the folder I want cause it is not being displayed.

    No there is no arrow besides any of the folders (I do not have any sub-folders); I do have a "choose..." option, but that does not work either in showing all of the folders.

  • DoFilter() method is being called only at the second request

    Hi,
    I have implemented a simple Filter class
    Here is the code
    public class BasicFilter implements Filter
    FilterConfig config;
    public void init(FilterConfig config)
    System.out.println("Filter Initialised");
    this.config = config;
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response,FilterChain chain) throws ServletException,
    IOException
    System.out.println("In The doFilter() method");
    ServletContext sc = config.getServletContext();
    sc.setAttribute("Hello","Hell");
    chain.doFilter(request,response);
    public void destroy()
    System.out.println("In the destroy method");
    and a simple servlet
    public class FilteredServlet extends HttpServlet
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println("<HTML>");
    out.println("<HEAD><TITLE>Filter Demo</TITLE></HEAD>");
    out.println("<BODY>");
    out.println(getServletContext().getAttribute("Hello"));
    out.println("</BODY>");
    out.println("</HTML>");
    Now when i start the server (Tomcat 4.0) i find that the filter's init() method is being called which is fine. But when i request the servlet (FilteredServlet) the doFilter() method is not called and only when i "refresh" it or call it a second time that the doFilter() method is actually called. What could be the reason for this.
    Help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,
    Phani Kanuri

    Hi jleech,
    Thanks for the reply. But deleting all the temporary internet files as also the history files does not seem to have an effect. the doFilter is being called only at the second request. or did i miss anything??
    Please help. unable to complete the assignment because of this.
    Thank You,

  • Auto redial fails on the second attempt

    the new feature on the version 7.2.60.103 automatically redial the contact if the first attempt wasn't successful. however the second attempt made automatically will result in the call being dropped.

    Hey Carolyn,
    Thank you for your reply. I tried resetting the SMC but I still have the same issue.
    It doesn't really matter if I put it to sleep from the Apple Menu or if I close the Lid. It always works the first time, but never the second time. What happens is that it stops responding directly after "getting" the sleep signal (either by closing the lid, then the whole screen is black and won't respond, or by choosing sleep from the apple menu, then the screen is not black but nothing responds). In both cases, nothing works, and I have to force the macbook to shut down (by holding the power button).
    Amazing thing, the fan gradually goes to max speed when this issue occurs (always).
    I never installed or used any new applications except one single update which required the system to restart (Safari 4).
    Cheers!

  • Exception only on the first attempt

    Hi there,
    You could try creating sub-templates within your .rtf layout template. Create 2 sub-templates somewhere within yout .rtf and call them <?template:FirstPageFooter?> and <?template:OtherPagesFooter?>, or whatever names you want.
    In the first page MS Word footer, call FirstPageFooter (<?call:FirstPageFooter?>) then insert a page break even if you have no fields to display on page 2 and put <?call:OtherPagesFooter?> in the page 2 footer.
    Now I have done this in the header before, but not the footer. If this doesn't work the same in the footer you could always just call the sub-templates in the body at the end of page 1 and page2 and not use the MS Word Footer.
    Hope this helps

  • Button action only from the second click on

    Hello, everybody!
    I´m facing a weird problem on my application. I have a button that
    takes action only from the second click on. My vi has several buttons,
    all of them have the same type, and all of them work properly(since the
    first click) except one.
    I gave up a few minutes ago...any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Luanna

    Hi
    Well this sounds quite strange. The best way to help you is to comment your vi. I think a picture is not enough, as we have to see the behaviour.
    So - is it possible for you to post the vi here?

  • I have elements 5 on a vista pc. Elements will not open I receive the message "Attempt to access invalid address". Ihave re-installed but still receive the same message. Any ideas please.

    I have elements 5 on a vista pc. Elements will not open I receive the message "Attempt to access invalid address". I have re-installed but still receive the same message. Any ideas please.

    Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions.  Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
    - Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
    Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
    To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop Elements.
    Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
    Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
    Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
    I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try.  If it does not, take these steps:
    - Uninstall Photoshop Elements
    - Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
    - Reinstall Elements
    - Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
    Good luck,
    Juergen

  • I bought new apple TV but it open only in the menu few channel like korean channel. I think something wrong with my my Apple TV or maybe my server because I'm in kuwait please help

    I bought new apple TV but it open only in the menu few channel like korean channel. I think something wrong with my my Apple TV or maybe my server because I'm in kuwait please help

    Was it bought in an Apple store, as there is no product page for Apple TV in your location? If it was bought through another store make sure it was an authorized seller.
    There are no apps stored on the device (except Computers and Settings), they are fed through a server and will differ depending on region. For example, there are many that are US only and some require connection to a cable provider. To change accounts and access another region you would need a valid address and credit card.

  • Access denied while opening any PDF the second time / Zugriff verweigert beim zweiten Öffnen eines beliebigen PDF

    Reader produces "Access denied" while opening any PDF the second time. A LogOut/LogIn or restart is necessary to open a PDF again successfully. User works with a PC (Win7). The file is located on the desktop in a Windows 2008/2012 AD, user profile on networkshare. The same procedure with a file located on any other networkshare or locally on harddisk works without error. Analysis with processmonitor indicates that the file seems to load and then is cancelled for some unknown reason. The problem is somehow growing, beginning with 1 PC and exists now also in our Citrix environment (2 users). Access rights seem to ok and the same on all tested shares (full Access or Change rights).
    Der Reader bringt den Fehler "Zugriff verweigert", wenn man das zweite mal ein PDF öffnen will. Dabei ist der Fehler völlig unabhängig davon, ob man das gleiche oder ein anderes PDF öffnen will. Um wieder erfolgreich ein PDF zu öffnen, ist ein Ab- und Anmelden bzw. ein Neustart des PCs (Win7) nötig. Umgebung ist eine Windows 2008/2012 AD, Profil liegt im Netz. Der Fehler tritt nur bei PDFs auf, die auf dem User-Desktop liegen. Sind die Dateien irgendwo anders im Netz oder lokal auf der Festplatte, kommt der Fehler nicht. Eine Analyse mit dem Prozessmonitor zeigt, dass das Laden des PDFs irgendwann gecancelt wird, warum auch immer. Das Problem scheint sich auch langsam auszuweiten. Es hat mit einem PC begonnen und tritt nun auch in unserer Citrix Umgebung bei bis jetzt 2 Usern auf. Die Berechtigungen scheinen überall ok und gleich zu sein (Volluzgriff oder Ändern).

    And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
    EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
    You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
    You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).
