Why has safari stopped opening pdf pages?

Has anyone had the problem that I've been having? When I click on a link that contains a pdf, Safari used to open the file in a new tab for me to view. Now, when I attempt that same procedure, all I get from Safari is a gray screen.
I've been to the genius bar and they erased my Mac and reloaded the operating system again. Everything worked fine for several week but then today, it just stopped. I was not doing anything out of the ordinary but the only thing I did today was set my system to use Adobe to open pdf files (not webpages) instead of Preview. I did switch back and even removed Adobe from my Mac.
Please...any help??? I should't have to go and have my operating system wiped out and reloaded again. There should just be a simple answer to turn something on or off in Safari.
I did try to reload Safari - deleted it and then downlaoded it again but apparently it never fully deletes because the new one that I download still has my bookmarks. How can I do a full removal and new install??

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.

Why does safari stop opening web pages after a while in use?

Since upgrading to Lion, my imac (Intel) 21.5 works fine for most of the time, but frequently when using Safari to browse the internet, it will stop accessing pages, either from new searches or from history - the blue loading bar in the address panel starts, then stops. Safari itself keeps working, new tabs can be opened, history can be checked, etc. Checking the Wi-Fi shows that it is still connected, and other PCs and ipods in the house can still access the net, showing it is not a net or router problem. Restarting the machine does not usually cure the issue, only shutting down for a long period, eg overnight, when it generally starts up fine again.
This has been happening almost since I upgraded 2 months ago, but not every time we use Safari.

You can do some basic Safari trouble shooting by:
Safari - Reset Safari
Safari - Empty Cache
You can also be just low on RAM. As a general rule your system should have about 500MB or more of FREE RAM. To check to see how much your system has open Activity Monitor - System Memory Tab and look for the amount of free RAM. You can find AM in Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor. Remember to check when you are seeing a slow down otherwise the information will be meaningless. The graphic will look similar to:

Why has iCloud stopped working with Pages 5.1 on my MacBook Air?

Hi all,
Since upgrading to Pages 5.1 on my MacBook Air, the option to open or save documents to iCloud has vanished. The iCloud sync is working fine on my iPad and iPhone, but I can't even see my iCloud documents and folders. Before, I used to have an iCloud button on the "Open File" dialog, but that's not there any more. I've attached a screenshot of the dialog.
I've tried signing out of iCloud on the MacBook, removing the Mobile Documents folder, and signing back into iCloud again, but Pages stays the same. I should add that Numbers seems to have the same problem, but other iCloud features all seem to be working ok.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it even a problem, or am I just being dense? For reference, I'm using Mavericks (OS X 10.9.1 13B42) and the latest version of iWork.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Matt

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

Hi
I constantly get same message. When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

My iPad won't connect to 3G. It says "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"

When trying to connect via 3G the iPad will not connect and shows several messages inclyding: "Safari cannot open the page becuase the server has stopped responding." There is no problem connecting via Wi-Fi. Why is this happening?

Same thing happening to me did you manage to get it sorted and if so how?

I can't open pdf pages on internet

I don't no why i can't open pdf files on the web anymore. Usually there was another window that would open allowing me to preview a pdf document before downloading it. Now there's just a blank page that opens. It doesn't work neither safari nor on Firefox mozilla anymore. I think it started when I downloaded adobe reader (10.1.1). It's really annoying and i have no clue as to how to solve this... Is it the plug-ins or something??
Can anyone tell me how to fix this???

I've done that but it doesn't work.
i've windows 98 and microsoft internet browser 6.0
Must i download some java program or take an other browser like microsoft internet browser 5.0?

What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network? You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad. See if it now connects correctly.

Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

Hi,
Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
Please help!
