Why do download pages appear blank in safari?

Whenever I am transferred to a downloads page, I get nothing but a blank page, either black or dark gray. What causes this and how can I fix it?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Restart your Mac... see if that makes a difference.
If you are having problems downloading files, go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari.

After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox works

After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox and Opera work. Can someone help?

Might be a third party Safari addon that was compatible with Snow Leopard but not Lion that's preventing pages to load. That add on may not have any effect on the other browsers, just Safari.
Read here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Also, if you have Little Snitch or Peer Guardian or anti virus sofware installed on your Mac, that might prevent pages to load also.

Why the download page for any site cannot to appear????it appear black page only?????

why the download page using safari cannot to open???it just appear black page only...for example, i wanna to download any product (dmg) but i couldn't.. why????????

If the patch level of the browser is not exposed to the website, the website should probably not claim that I'm running the latest version, since it cannot know for sure. Often patch level updates are security updates and those are the most critical ones (I can skip new features for ages, no problem, but a big security hole needs to be fixed ASAP). I'm tech-savvy enough to click on "Download a fresh copy", because I know what I'm doing and I know the page is wrong, but don't expect my mother to that ("But the page said, I am already running the latest version...").
The auto updater doesn't work because all apps I install on my Mac have root:wheel ownership (just like when installing apps from the Ma AppStore or those that ship as part of the system) and nobody but root:wheel has write permissions to the app bundle. This is actually standard for programs on any Linux system I know, why should I go with less security on my Mac?
This is no problem for AppStore apps (Apple updates those with a daemon running with root privileges) and this is also no problem for apps updating with Sparkle (after downloading and verifying the update, they will prompt for an admin password and then perform the actually file changes with root privileges), but Fx has no such mechanism. It will just try to update and fail because of insufficient privileges.

Why are my existing content pages appearing blank in RH7?

I am working in RoboHelp 7. Some of my existing pages appear blank in the tool, but when I do a Preview or generate the final output, the content appears in the viewer window. It also appears to the end-user just fine. I have tried importing the file again and also re-typing the information, to no avail.

Hi,
Yes, they do. It doesn’t happen to all of my pages, just some. I normally don’t notice which pages are having problems, until I access the page in order to make an edit. and then the page is blank! it’s frustrating.
I hate to change the layout of one page – to remove the drop-down, because all of my pages have drop-downs. and in order to make the pages look consistent across the board, I’d need to update 3,000+ topics (and I’m the only writer in my division).
I know – the next thing you’ll say is that my project is too big. ☺ that’s one thing I’m working on…eventually I want to use DITA.

Firefox 13's new tab page appears blank, just like in older versions. Why?

After my beta install upgraded from 12 to 13 yesterday, the new tab page was working as advertised. When I started my computer today, however, the new tab page appeared blank, just as it did in older versions of Firefox. What happened? Any idea how to fix it?

The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.<br />
Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data when you close Firefox.<br />
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes.

Why is my privacy preference blank in Safari 5.1

Why is my privacy preference blank in Safari 5.1. There is no way to manage cookies. It appears on my iMac but not my Macbook. Any imput on the issue appreciated.

Safari preferences in Version 5.1 (6534.50) with respect to cookies have changed with this latest update. In July, the last time I reviewed cookies saved in Safari, I was able to delete cookies individually. This no longer appears to be possible in the latest update.
In the Preferences > Privacy pane, there is a button "Remove All Website Data" which applies to "Cookies and other website data." I don't want to use this. I want to retain some cookies but not others. Under the "Remove all" button is another one, "Details" that applies to "[This many] websites stored cookies or other data." Clicking "Details" reveals a pane that shows all the website domains that stored data in Safari. Unlike the previous version of Safari, however, the pane does not show individual cookies set by the domains. It is possible only to review all the cookies set by a domain or none of them. This is a disadvantage. I very much prefer the previous version.
Another change, I think (not sure), is that in the latest Safari, private browsing no longer appears to block new cookies. In the Safari help file, the Browsing privately page shows the following statement:
"When Private Browsing is on, webpages are not added to the history list, the names of downloads are removed from the Downloads window after downloading is complete, AutoFill information isn’t saved, and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the search field. Websites that store databases on your computer can’t modify the databases, so services normally available at such sites may work differently until you turn off Private Browsing. Any changes made to cookies are discarded when you turn off Private Browsing."
The last sentences, in fact, imply, by omission, that new cookies may be added to Safari, even though private browsing is turned on.
For these reason, I have abandoned Safari, and I will now use Firefox, which continues to allow reviewing and editing of the complete cookie list. If Apple reconsiders and makes it possible again to review all cookies individually, I will return to using Safari
If someone know of a way to review cookies individually in the current version of Safari, please let me know. Or if I am incorrect about what the latest version of Safari permits with respect to cookies, kindly correct me.

Why do no pages appear in Pages panel after book setup

Why do no pages appear in Pages panel after book setup?

In-place upgrade of the OS? You can try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences ) but most likely you will need to uninstall ID and run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 ), then reinstall. You may even need to do a clean install of the OS to get Adobe programs to run properly.

Safari Downloads Window appears blank

While I am downloading something, anything, the downloads window in Safari appears blank. At the bottom of the window, it still says "Downloading 1 item" or whatever the exact words are, and the downloading object can be found in my downloads folder with the loading progress bar on it. The download completes just like normal, and all ends up well. But I don't know how to make the item come up in the downloads window. There is nothing listed although it is obviously downloading. Any help would be appreciated! Also, I am using Safari 4.0.4.

Well, I can't add much useful to this topic, but I just wanted to say that I've just found I have the same problem.
The only way to tell if my downloads are progressing or not is to keep checking the files themselves in Finder. A real PITA, that!

Why did iMUNIZATOR page appear out of nowhere on Safari 3.1?

I was accessing the food channel and iMUNIZATOR pop up page appeared. I read on google that this is because of a weakness of Safari. Do I have to do anything and is it harmful?

It automatically open for me too when I was at foodnetwork.com. My guess is that it's something on their side. I sent them an email. We'll see what they have to say.

Pdf pages display blank in safari

Using Safari, when I go to a webpage with a .pdf URL the page is blank. I recently upgraded to Lion and purchased/installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro (I was using Acrobat 7.0 with Snow Leopard). The only to access these types of pages is by trying to download linked file (which sometimes doesn't work).

Quit Safari. Look in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder (not the home folder).
If you see anything with PDF in the middle of it, drag that file to desktop. Then re-start Safari and enjoy.

I have FireFox 6.0 for Mac. Download Page is blank at all times (it used to show history of downloads as well as current download process? What's wrong and how to fix it?

I have FireFox 6.0 on Max (OS: Lion). Before this upgrade, when I downloaded a file, the "Download" page would pop up showing the current downloading process as well as all my previous downloads. Now all I see is a blank page when I click on "Downloads".

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

First page appears blank when viewing a Crystal Report in the web viewer

I have seen threads and KB articles regarding this issue but the suggested solutions do not correct the issue. (KB articles [1423482 and 1439109)
The issue only started after upgrading from CR 2008 runtime to CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
When the page containing the viewer control first loads, the report pane is completely blank.
The viewer toolbars appear as expected, and the report can be exported using the Export button on the viewer toolbar without issue.
Changing the zoom level causes the first page of the report to appear as expected, and reverting the zoom level does not cause the report pane to become blank again.
Navigating to the next page of the report works and the second page appears as expected. Returning to the first page shows the first page of the report as expected.
Our application is installed on dozens of servers but this issue only has occurred on a few installations at this time.
Steps attempted to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime, confirm the CrystalReportViewers12 folders were removed from the folders C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0, then reinstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
2. Ensure there are no underscores in the server name.
3. Change the crystalreportsviewers12 Virtual Directory to use the folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12
4. Remove and recreate the crystalrep[ortviewers12 Virtual Directory.
5. Replace the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12 folder from a server that does not exhibit the issue.
Any new ideas or suggestions? Thanks

Linux Download Page appears broken.

Hi.
I've been attempting to download Skype for Linux.
I can get to the download page with no problem.
I'm presented with a list of Linux distributions, from a pop down list.
This is as far as things go. No download commences, and there is no download button.
I've tried 5 different Internet browsers so far, and I have the same response from them all. The Linux download page is behaving like a facade with nothing behind it.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why does this have an "Accepted Solution"? That is not the solution, it's an incorrect assessment of the problem.
I've got the same problem here, so have many others. There are no network restrictions my end, no proxy in use. The download page only allows selection from a drop-down but performs no action after selection. The site code is broken.
Also Ubuntu 12.04 is the latest version offered? That's 2 years old. the latest LTS (Long Term Service) release of Ubuntu is 14.04
Ditto that. And, as usual, no one from the skype itself is listening.
