safari 6.1 problems

Do you have any Safari plugins like GLIMS installed? If so, you have to remove it first using their uninstaller or update to the new version (coming soon).

Have you tried repairing permissions?

The problen I'm experiencing is that with every page change or update using Safari, the entire page below the favorites bar flashes gray for about 1/10th of a second and then reloads.

Permission repair does not solve the issue.

This is unacceptable!

I have not opted for Mavericks yet, but foolishly upgraded Safari.

On my MacBook Air the update to Safari 6.1 appears to be fine.

On my iMac, it's a mess. I can't get Safari to do anything, and it's repeatedly crashing. I can't do anything to try and fix the problem because I can't get Safari to do anything at all. Preferences won't open. Short of going into Time Machine and reverting to yesterday's version of my iMac, how can I try to reinstall Safari 6.1?

Is this intended to make older macs useless?

It appears that installing the latest version of Glims works. Doing that fixed everything for now. It was impossible to go in and do this within Safari. Good thing there are other browsers to use...

Uninstalling GLIMS isn't necessary, try the newest version!

I am having the similiar issues. Safari has basically stopped working correctly. Most sites don't load completly. Sites that do are very, very slow.

I turned off all extensions and never had anything like Glims installed.

I had to switch to Chrome to continue to use the web.

Did you try to remove plug-ins? It could help. Safari 6.1 is the worst Safari ever! Apple, continue this way and I will start using Chrome.

I have no reason to upgrade to Mavericks because it'll install iTunes 11 and I want to stay on iTunes 10.7 but I did update to Safari 6.1 and everything is running fine. I have no Safari plug-ins/extensions, just Adobe Flash Player.

Got an issue too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5470838. I've no crashings or grey screens, but the described PDF-problem.

Adding to the catalogue of Safari 6.1 problems: Apple seems intent on disabling functionality of bookmarks.

With 6.1 (Safari 7 for Mavericks), they've increased the number of steps/clicks a user encounters when adding and editing a bookmark, they've either hidden or disabled the bookmark management page and replaced it with the sidebar, and as of now, I still haven't found a way to thoroughly scan and search my bookmarks.

For those of us who perform research professionally and have hundreds of folders and thousands of bookmarks, the bookmark management page provided a one-stop shop -- a thorough visual overview -- for organizing our work progress, generating new "hunt" ideas, and searching for sub-files and sub-folders via keyword -- and all with a quick or leisurely eye scan-and-scroll of the page.

Now, Safari is a hunt-and-peck piecemeal ordeal, fine for casual web surfers perhaps, but unfit for business and academic professionals who could once count on Safari to keepsafe our hard work.

Bring back the bookmark management page. No more "Safari Lite".

Try going to the top menu: Bookmarks/Edit Bookmarks

That seems to give me the page you are seeking.

Hi, 1flight!

Yes, Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks does open to a rough and raw version of the once great Bookmark Manager -- albeit a very restrained and dumbed down view. However, it is a *far* cry from the orderly arrangement pro users could count on before Safari 6.1 (a/k/a Safari 7) and lacks the readily visual workflow detail.

Those problems notwithstanding, I appreciate your input 🙂

P.S. Must admit I'm amused Apple calls this grocery list a "Bookmark Editor". A very lazy editor, indeed.

Very good points E_M

I have another issue with Safari 6.1 - When I log on to PayPal, some items are displayed with a plus sign to their left. Clicking on the plus sign should expand the item to provide further details. However, with Safari 6.1, a new page is delivered that has an error message, as follows:

"You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks."

In order to access the expanded details, I now have to go to FireFox.

Does anybody else get the same problem in Safari 6.1?

I now have cache problems with this new version of Safari. I do a lot of work on User Experience design with Axure and prototypes are output to Safari - until this release I had no problems, all my updates would refresh my page to reflect new changes. Since I upgraded yesterday any interactive elements I add do not update, and after much trial and error I have determined that the cache is reloading the previous page elements rather than the new ones. I have turned off whatever cache settings I can find to no avail - refreshing or closing and reloading the page doesn't work. The only thing that works is to quit, or use the Develop menu to clear the cache. Everything's fine in Firefox.
