Safari - Problem w/Apple Website

I have a similiar problem with Safari, not all images show up and they look like a square blue box with a question mark inside. I'm hoping there will be an update to safari soon.

Same problem here...If I empty the cache, that seems to temporarily help. It also seems to work better at home than at work.

When I use Firefox, it works just fine.

I think this defines irony.

Same problem here. Worked fine earlier before upgrading to 10.4.
Also having problems downloading updates.

Just adding myself to the list in case that makes others happy that they are not the only ones. I have stopped using safari after it could not display many of the images in different sites. I get the "?" mark icon with the blue box. Could not fix it.
Downloaded IE and Firefox. IE seems the most consistent and stable.
Also I did not find anywhere in apple site where safari v2 could be downloaded.
I am not sure if Safari could be installed independently of the OS X ( with the Software install disk ). Has anyone tried it?
Don't want to install OSX again.

Just to add an update, last night at home, with Comcast high speed internet, Safari and the Apple website worked fine. This morning, at work, over the corporate T1 line with a firewall, I can't load the Apple website with Safari. If I use Firefox, it works fine. I'm thinking there must be something with the firewall that causes the problem.

Safari 2.0 can be installed independently from a Mac OS X 10.4 install disk.

This article will explain how.

Her am I with the same problem. Tried to uninstall and re-install Safari with the Custom install, but the problem remains.
Only with Apple site, and related pages...
Who can help?

I Reset Safari under the Safari menu. The Apple web pages seem to display as they should. However I could not reply to this page without using IE. The reply page would come up blank. Hope this helps.

I am having same issue with connecting to .Mac

I posted the following a little while ago:

RE: can't connect .mac pages - Steven Kuller

Any solutions here.
I get message:
Safari can’t open the page “ http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/wa/login?ri…d=D6vttdCK3U7hyEj nohUFx0&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en” because it could not connect to the server “www.mac.com”...
In: Apple - Discussions > Safari > can't connect .mac pages

**

Until I see a good answer from Apple or have another issue, I am just going to use IE due to time constraints. Once I got this message, I could not connect to any web sites with any browser, but I could use the network tools to ping some websites (but not mac.com)

I had some success cleaning out the libraries ->cache folder then shutting down.

Also, I noticed that in Activity Monintor, the kernel_task was using up most of my system resources.

I hope some of these hints help someone come up with a solution.

At times I feel Safari overuses it's cache. I found that if if you force a reload of the page, many of these kinds of problmes go away. You do that by either clicking on the circular arrow or control-clicking on the frame and selecting reload

I, too, have been having nightmares with Safari andÑironies of ironiesÑthe Apple Web site. For weeks now, when Safari tries to open apple.com (which had been my homepage), it loads half the page and then stops, spinning the beach ball cursor. It not only freezes Safari but shuts down all my Internet connections. I spent hours on the phone with my ISP (Verizon) who patiently talked me through numerous checks of my settings, resetting my DSL modem and router, and finally generously upgraded my modem and router to a newer unit. All to no avail. I reset Safari, threw out the preferences, and still got the problem. If I restart and use any other browser, everything works fine, even the Apple.com site.
I've been a Mac user since the first Mac and never encountered a bug like this in Apple software. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Marshall

I can't handle anymore blue question mark boxes!!!!!
After upgrading to Tiger webpage content has been completely screwy. Not only do I get failed images at apple.com but also at multiple unrelated websites. Blue question mark boxes replaces things that I need to click like "okay/agree" versus "cancel". These are important things for one to see the difference between the images. Will someone with apple genius come to our rescue, clearly a lot of us are having this problem and we would like to use Safari over IE, so please help us go back to normal!
thanks

Hi Sayra,

Have a read of this Apple article:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106796

It discusses various internet related issues and possible solutions.

If nothing there helps, let us know exactly what things you tried and also more details about how you get online (ISP, modem model etc).

Hi Susan, All - (btw there's another thread about this I've also posted to called "Missing content - repeated reloads necessary"). My new ibook and AEBS (bought a couple of months ago) all worked out of the box (the AEBS is ethernet-connected to my ADSL router) except if I try e.g. www.apple.com. This takes forever & ends up with loads of blue question mark boxes. Other sites of apparently similar (or greater) complexity are ok. afaik this is just on wifi , I have almost never connected my iBook by wire but istr it's ok if I do that. IE seems same. Firefox doesn't work at all wifi but I think does by wire. Other sites eventually complete loading but take forever, e.g. slashdot. UK newspaper sites differ e.g. www.guardian.co.uk is quick, www.independent.co.uk slow. Any ideas? TIA if so. I'll try (tomorrow) to run some tests and tabulate wired vs wifi, browsers and my iBook vs dare I say it the Dell my employer makes me use for work - I've a horrible feeling the latter was ok - but if so it sort of rules out the signal strength? Weird.
