When enlarging windows while surfing with Safari, windows open but empty?

I am new to Macs in general, but I am having a problem with opening the pop up type windows in places such as ebay etc.
If there is an option to enlarge a picture, when it blows the picture up full size the box opens but it is blank. I tried shutting off the pop-up blockers etc but it makes no difference. The box is just the color of the background.
Any ideas?

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
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.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

    10 times in last 20 mins Grrrr. updates all up to date.

    "...updates all up to date"
    Well there you go. There's your mistake. The iOS 8 updates have seriously hosed Safari. Here are your options: (a) you can jump through all kinds of hoops resetting, restoring, reloading, etc. for hours/days, or (b) you can save yourself a lot of aggravation and wait for an update that really "just works".

    Open the General tab of the Safari preferences and correct the home page; the default page is this one. If it has become set to a folder on an FTP server or a local drive, that request will be sent to the Finder. (28252)

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • HT202213 can I home share a windows 8  computer with a windows seven computer

    Can I home share a windows 8 computer with a windows seven computer

    Those were correct. The troubleshooter says the network location needs to be set to home but when the connection  is identified as private and cannot be changed. The windows seven computer is not identifying a homegroup name but the windows eight computer is. Both computers say to join now under home sharing but it is never showing up.

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Safari will open, but...

    Safari will open, but only google works. Any other website and it says “unknown error” (kCFErrorDomainWinSock:10022) I don't know what to do. I reported it to Apple and I got rid of the bookmarks tab. I just got Safari yesterday and I haven't deleted anything out of it. I have a gateway laptop with Vista. Can anyone help?

    Is there any other place this folder could be?
    •Click on the HD is it there ? Now I think about it that is where Previous System folder should be, been a little while since i did one.
    Also I read your next post and the links and it said safari might now work after an archive and install and you must re install the old version? How do I do that?
    I do not think they say the old version rather update to the lastest ( most recent version for your os). that is correct version os on your spex ->Mac OS X (10.3.5) look under Blue apple about this mac to make sure
    What version is the Blank page Safari, when launched under-> Safari
    About safari:
    Go to the Blue apple -> Software update and run that to see what is available for your os now. Are there any safari updates.
    Run permissions repair before & after uppdates with the Disk Utility do you know how to do that ? Look at Gulliver knowledge base article, I linked to you.
    You are using Firefox now & have your bookmarks good they are not lost!!
    •Again look for "previous system folder" in HD
    •What version is your blank Safari?
    •What is avaliable to download from the software updater
    •Read Gullivers Kbase article, before you update.
    Hope this helps

  • I cannot open a new tab. When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened

    I have a problem opening a new tab with FireFox 24.0.
    When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened.
    I use "checkCompatibility 1.3" and "Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W" as addons. There have been no problems until the previous version of FireFox.

    Thank you for the reply.
    It works fine with the safe mode. So it must be something to do with <i>checkCompatibility 1.3</i> or <i>Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W</i>.
    Both are necessary to run Google Toolbar on Firefox, and the fact is Google Toolbar is too convenient to be removed. So I have bookmarked a couple of blank pages and I right-click them to open new tabs. But it is so tiresome.
    I hope this problem will be fixed in the next version. FireFox without Google Toolbar is just a useless browser.

  • Where are "documents to go" files stored when I perform a Hotsync with my windows xp system?

    I just upgraded my palm OS to the latest version on my Treo 755p.  Prior to upgrading I did a verizon wireless sync and a hotsync with my windows XP based PC.  I list all my "documents to go" files that were stored on my phone.  They did not reappear when I did Hotsync after the update.  They were all supposed to be Hotsynced. 
    Where are these files stored on my computer?  How do I avoid this from happening again?

    I have never seen a file like that in My Documents.  If my doucments are lost how do I set up a file on my PC where the documents are stored when I perform a hotsync?

  • How to do a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows 8.1 with a Windows 8 OEM Key

    I have recently purchased a new C540 that has Windows 8 already installed on it.  I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 8.1 on this computer.
    This is what I have done so far:
    I disabled 3 things in the BIOS: IIRC, they were secure boot, quick boot, and something about "optimized" startup
    I have changed my boot priority to put the CD/DVD drive first and any flashdrive 2nd
    I have figured out my OEM Windows Product Key (this is for a Windows 8 Core/64 bit OS)
    I have setup a flashdrive with Windows 8.1 on it
    I tried to boot from the flashdrive...when I get the option to install windows 8.1, I click on it and very quickly get the following error -- "The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key."
    I added a PID.txt file with my OEM product key in the Source folder of the Windows 8.1 install....I don't get the above error message immediately, but a screen comes up that asks me to enter a Product Code...my OEM product code (being for W8,  not W8.1) does not work while using a generic key (for Windows 8.1 Core) yields the same error message as above and exits the installer.
    I then added an EI.CFG file that sets the edition to core, the version to OEM, and the Volume to 0...unfortunately, when trying to install Windows 8.1 it still asks me for a product key before installing...I cannot get past this screen even though (to my understanding) the EI.CFG file should cause the installer to skip asking for a product key...
    It is important to me that I get to perform a CLEAN install of Windows 8.1...I do not want to upgrade through windows store...the only keys I have are a W8 Pro Retail key (for my laptop) and a W8 Core OEM key (that came with the new C540)...I am using a flashdrive to perform this since I knew I may have to add/change files like the PID and EI.CFG....
    I would appreciate any help I can get in solving this problem...I am also willing to try burning an .iso with the PID and/or EI.CFG, but I'm trying to avoid trial and error with that since it is time consuming, requires an ADK, and may waste DVDs...I'd only make an .iso if (for whatever reason) that would work where a flashdrive woud not...

    I have a new SSD drive and need to either migrate my old HD data, including the Windows 8.1 OS or do a a clean install.  I have obtained the ISO, prepared the boot for the flashdrive and downloaded the install software.  It asks for the product key.   I used the suggested BIOS reader and obtained "a" product key off the BIOS and used that it but (as above) it does not recognize the image.
    How id I get my single Windows license onto my new SSD HD?  Reload, clean install, ???
    How do I get the proper product key or confirm it is correct? 
    It is a new system with little data that I need to copy. I just want the operating system.  I have the driver disc that came with it.

  • Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

    Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
    How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.
