Hi rannyann,

Clarification, please;

You've posted this issue in the Pages for Mac community, where the main topic of discussion is issues and techniques involving the Mac version of Apple's word processing and page layout application "Pages."

But Community Specialist ryane77, possibly following the lead of the site's "Related Article" software, has assumed your question concerns the behaviour of Apple's web browser application "Safari."

If this assumption is correct, you may get a more specific solution if the discussion is moved to the Safari community.

Would you like me to request that move?

Regards,

Barry

First, try restarting the Mac. (Visit the Home Screen, at the top left, press the apple menu, and press restart.) And then check for an update. (Use Software Update

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for updates.
2. If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click “More info” to see details about each update and select specific updates to install. You might be asked to enter your administrator password.
3. 
4. 
   
5. When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, Music, Photos, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and FaceTime.
6. To automatically install future updates, including for apps that you got from the App Store, select “Automatically keep my Mac up to date.” Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.) also try updating apps. (Open App Store, then press updates, and update all the apps that are available.

HI rannyann,

Was this reply to ryane77 a response to my question regarding transferring this issue to the Safari community?

A reply to the message from the person asking the question would result in the action taking place earlier, as it would eliminate the necessity of asking this question.

Waiting for your confirmation.
