I encountered difficulties while attempting to download some files that I wished to view in PDF format. However, the files were only opening in HTML. Thankfully, a video I found was able to help me resolve the issue. I am grateful for the assistance!
I just bought a MacBook Air and finished the set up but when I try to go to different websites, the sites don't load. So far the only site I can get on is TH-cam. any suggestions?
Hi, depends on what error you are getting. Could be a DNS issue. If you open Terminal and type "Traceroute WEBSITE" it should show you if its trying to route to a site. I might make a video on this.
Good question, I made this video back in 2021 and Apple being Apple has already renamed some of the settings. However, the tools for web developers option is still there with a different name. It's just a check box but still works the same.
You legend! I’ve been trying to fix my safari settings so I can watch 4K TH-cam videos in the full 4K resolution because before it wouldn’t let me go above 1080. When I went to experimental features to change a setting it was all greyed out but your video has helped me fix it. Thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello. my problem is that Safari doesn't show the pictures on the Aliexpress site, there are only blue question marks. It only shows texts. Is there a solution under Catalina?
i just restarted my macbook and when i search anything in safari (eg youtube, simple maths ect) the screen goes a gray colour with a white bar through the middle and i cant click on any links do you know what’s wrong?
This is something other users have mentioned. I wonder if Apple is aware as it sounds like a bug of some sort. Might need a reinstall but check with Apple.
hello i have a problem that my pages do load normally but there is a white line in the middle of the screen and i am unable to click on any content in the browser. do you have any idea what could be causing this?
not sure if you’ll see this but i’m having a weird issue on my mac after not using it for about a year. my search bar on the top right of my mac is disappearing and reappearing. and when i open safari it closes as soon as a hit enter on a website. have tried about 3 different things now and no luck
I have a problem, when i start to running a movie online in safari, i turn ok the subtitles and the screen is turning black, when i disable the subtitles the imagine from the movie appear. how can i fix it?
When I use Safari on my Macbook and hit pause or play on TH-cam or Netflix videos and streams in general, it gives a fade in fade out effect to the audio that makes me lose a good portion (like 5 sec) of the audio of a video. I couldn't find a way to disable this and so I end up using Chrome.
Hi On Mac I have a slow red line loading web pages o both Safari and Chrome, I already did the above and cleared history all time o Chrome as well problem persists, please help
Thank you for the utube I tried but it did not help. I am lost Safari opens and reopens with what seems like every tab I have ever had in history. I cannot clear the history or if it is its not working. I am on a MacBook Air M1 running Ventrua 13.1. I want to dump Safari if possible this is soooo bad any suggestions?
I've had a couple of issues on safari, missing bookmark icons and a search bar that wasn't working. After half an hour of searching I came across this gem. Thank you!
Thank you good tip. But it didn't solve my issue. I can't screen shoot my safari screen. It works on chrome but the screen is black when I try on safari. Have you got any idea why that is the case? Thank you.
@@HowTo2You Thank you first of all for replying so fast! I just made a screenshot for you and it works on this page, but on Udemy it will not work for me via safari - but it does work on chrome. Is it a udemy setting issue do you think?
hi, safari won't let me download documents, it tells me that I don't have space. and i have space. What's more, I can download documents from chrome without problems. Any ideas?
Thanks, time for videos is tough nowadays but I am looking at getting back into let's try it and how to videos with occasional stock ones. Glad I could help you 👍
Ya, could def be Safari. I know some sites prevent sharing while screen sharing to prevent content theft. Sounds like a 3rd party browser is the work around. Happy you got it going 👍
Thank you so much! I had an issue with a random 'unknown' file downloading while logging in to a webpage. This was the fix I was looking for. Hope it was just a glitch and not some malware or something... Nevertheless, great fix!
hi. my safari isn’t responding and my mouse won’t even let me select safari to get to preferences because my mouse is constantly loading in a rainbow circl
I don't even have the safari tab available on my safari browser.. this is good much trouble I'm having.. I can't download anything off the browser either
That's an even bigger issue. Might need a reinstall from the recovery partition. Search "reinstall macOS from recovery". Although this is just speculation. Always check with Apple first.
Know how to change allow locations in Google Maps in macOS Safari after not allowing? Also, how do I show sun/shade in real time in Google Maps? Many thanks. :)
There's a button on your keyboard on the left that says shift. You physically hold that button down and launch the Safari app at the same time, then release the button once Safari is open
macBook Air Yosemite - Can log into Google but Gmail will not load. Ive tried your steps, still didn't work. Something is blocking my Gmail & also a government site for health benefits (Maryland health connections) With Gmail I get an error message saying to log out then back in and try again. Of course Ive tried those. Just want to check my email 😞
@HowTo2You Message is: "Safari cant open the page "..." bc Safari cannot establish a secure connection. Im using my home Xfinity network, I don't have this issue on my other Apple devices.
Safari (Desktop on BigSur) became worse and worst. Scroll freeze, Google Maps freeze. Firefox and Opera running perfectly on Apple, but Safari, update 16.5.1 and next v. became the worst browser for Mac.

Thank you‼️‼️ After about 30 minutes I found your TH-cam channel; followed your directions and was up and running within 30 seconds 👍💪‼️‼️

Sounds like a DNS issue. You can try a new network location in Network Settings/preferences.
Are you using Ventura OS or Monterey? Because I do get the same options after following your instructions.

If empty cache didn't work you may need to update.

This sounds like a safari software issue imo. Prob need to reinstall the OS to get it.
This is something other users have mentioned. I wonder if Apple is aware as it sounds like a bug of some sort. Might need a reinstall but check with Apple.
Thank you so much, this worked wonderfully. How would you do this on in iPhone or iPad perhaps
Clear website data and history in settings > safari and then close the app from app switcher menu.

If spotlight is having issues it's reinstall time. Possibly erase reinstall, but I always recommend backups

The saved application state file in the user library is the cause to it reopening with the same pages.

hi, safari won't let me download documents, it tells me that I don't have space. and i have space.
What's more, I can download documents from chrome without problems. Any ideas?
Hi, this is because in your general Safari preferences, you probably have a different download destination instead of your downloads folder.
Thanks so far it’s working
Worked for me, my Safari was blipping and making popping sounds. now fixed.

@@HowTo2You non, im not sharing, and all works perfectly buy Udemy, its the only one

I did it step by step but there was no develop menu at bottom of proxies?
If you are seeing proxies then you're definitely in the wrong place. That should be a setting under the network settings.

My computer won’t even open the browser. It says it can’t connect to proxy server.
Check in networking under advanced there's a proxy tab. Might have sox proxy checked
I was actually able to fix mine with inspect element and deleting stuff in inspect element.
3 weeks i cant go on facebook, its says me Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Helpppp meeeee
Depends on the error. If you see elements of Facebook with the error it's on their end.
I can’t even get Safari to open! And what’s this colorful wheel, like it’s buffering? that spins!? HELP! 😢😩😫😖😣
If the app is crashing you may need to reinstall MacOs. Safari will then reinstall as well.
Didn’t work
i still cant open google snd so on
..please help me
What's it say?
I don’t have an empty cache option
Thanks man this solved the problem.Blessings to your future!!!!🤲🏾💵💵💵
Thanks so much
thank you man you rock
This is only happening to me when I try going on one certain website it didn’t work to fix that
same
Usually there's a routing issue for that kind of symptom. Try adding "" in front for a different protocol.
Thank you!
Thanks! (That helped big time.) 🇺🇸
Bro I need help I can’t open safari on my brand new mac😢
Me either, just a blank screen, not even a loading bar 😢
Does it load blank?
I don't even have the safari tab available on my safari browser.. this is good much trouble I'm having.. I can't download anything off the browser either
That's an even bigger issue. Might need a reinstall from the recovery partition. Search "reinstall macOS from recovery". Although this is just speculation. Always check with Apple first.
Still lap top is showing can not find the server
That would be a networking issue. Something possibly blocking traffic. Can you run a ping test in terminal?
Know how to change allow locations in Google Maps in macOS Safari after not allowing?
Also, how do I show sun/shade in real time in Google Maps?
Many thanks. :)
I'd have to fiddle with Google maps in macOS. I'll see if I can find anything
Safari screen sharing not working help

baraka Allah fika i mean Allah bless you 🙏🏻
Wonderful, thank you
So useful for me.Thanks ❤❤❤❤
My Safari have not empty cache😢
Also this not working
no use disk is spinning and wont even allow me to click on safari
Probably the CPU or RAM. Possibly a library file causing issues.
Omg thank you
Glad I could help 😊
Safari can’t identify the identity of us website That is the air it’s still gave me
Prob the website cert isn't updated
what is hold shift
There's a button on your keyboard on the left that says shift. You physically hold that button down and launch the Safari app at the same time, then release the button once Safari is open
Defined🔥
Still see safari can’t open page
Might need to see if you have a network connection or make sure your connection isn't blocked
Preference option is greyed out
Sounds like a library file issue or possibly a profile if this is a work computer.

I'm not Apple tech support. Why am I going to deep dive hundreds of comments and try to troubleshoot blindly without any details or screen sharing? See how that makes sense?
I think my macs too old
It's possible. Apple is leaning more towards their own silicon chips as well.
my safari got deleted after I pressed empty cash LOL WTF ?
Shouldn't delete any apps. Cache is just saved template data. Reinstall will get safari back.
ahhhhhh If I can't open Safari.....I can't go to any headings, etc....Nor can I empty cache. He said with a blank look on his face....
This may be a library file issue if the app crashes. Might need more advanced troubleshooting
This didn’t help me.
Sorry, it isn't 100% there may be another underlying issue.
It didn’t work 😒
Damn. Guess mine is just broken. This didn't help.
Don't give up. Just eliminate the usual suspects.
No fix
