Use the steps in this article if this happens in Safari on your Mac:

Yes the applications work perfectly, its literally just the icons that aren't displaying properly. It happens for some apps but not all with no correlation i.e. Office, 3ds max and soundforge icons aren't working (amongst others) while adobe apps, cubase and virtools all work fine (again, amongst others). Open your Home folder. One of the folders will be your Desktop folder, which will hold anything that you should see on your Desktop, including folders and app and other files. There will be some icons that may show on your desktop, which will NOT appear in your Desktop folder, such as icons for external drives, DVDs, and connected servers.

• You can’t log in to a secure website.
• A webpage repeatedly reloads or redirects.
• A message on a webpage tells you to remove or reset cookies.
• Some images, videos, or other items aren't displayed on a webpage, but other page elements load.

Check Parental Controls

Vizio cast app mac. If you're logged into a user account that is restricted by Parental Controls or other web filtering software, some pages or page elements might not load if those sites aren't allowed. For example, embedded videos might not display if they're hosted on a site other than the one you're viewing.

Check with your administrator to see if you can get access to the site that you're trying to view.

Check Safari extensions

Some Safari extensions that block ads or other website content can prevent some page elements from displaying. You can temporarily turn off extensions, then re-load the page to see if this is the issue.

1. Choose Safari > Preferences.
2. Click Extensions.
3. Select an extension, then deselect the checkbox 'Enable… extension.' Repeat this step for every extension that's currently installed.

Reload the page by choosing Choose View > Reload in Safari. If the webpage loads correctly, one or more extensions was blocking the content from loading. Re-enable an extension, then reload the page again to determine which extension is blocking the content you want to view.

If the website still doesn't load with all of your extensions disabled, try the next steps in this article.

If Safari doesn't load pages from a specific site

If only one webpage or website isn't working, you can remove data related to that site to see if it fixes the issue. Use these steps to remove cookies, cache, and other data stored by Safari for a specific site:

1. Choose Safari > Preferences.
2. Click the Privacy icon.
3. Click the Details button.
4. Search for the name or domain of the website whose data you want to remove.
5. In the results list, click the domain (like example.com) that has data you want to remove.
6. Click Remove.
7. When you're finished, click Done and close the preferences window.
   

If you used the Private Browsing feature of Safari when visiting a website, you might not see the site listed here.

If Safari doesn't load pages from multiple sites

In OS X Yosemite, you can delete website data for the past hour, or past few days if websites or pages stopped loading recently.

2. In the sheet that appears, choose the range of data you want to remove from the Clear pop-up menu.
3. Click Clear History.

If you want to remove website data for all of the sites and pages you've ever visited, choose 'all history' from the Clear pop-up menu. The option to Remove All Website Data in the Privacy pane of Safari preferences does this, too. These options also reset your browsing history and Top Sites.

To learn more about cache, cookies, and other website data, open Safari and search for the word 'history' or 'privacy' from the Help menu.

Sometime back while I was out of the office, my system crashed with a blue screen message about a hard drive failure. Fortunately, I was able to restart and save any essential files that weren't already backed up. When I got back to the office I ran SpinRite on the hard drive, it didn't find any problems, and I have yet to have another crash.

But recently I launched a program which I had running during the crash. The program appeared in the task bar but nothing happened. When I clicked on the task bar icon it expanded to show a program instance, but nothing happened. When I right clicked on the task bar icon, it expanded to show the program, 'Pin the program to the taskbar' and 'Close Window.' I clicked on the program and got an error saying the program could not access a needed file and the program was terminating. I tried several times to get the program to run and each time I couldn't see the program and eventually getting the same error. I tried several fixes such as renaming the offending file, deleting the file, etc., but nothing worked. Finally I restored to a virtual machine where I was able to run the application and finish my work.

Back in the office, I asked a coworker for some help to get a fresh pair of eyes on the problem. I showed him what was happening and I was able to reproduced the error. He sat for a moment and then said, 'I wonder if it is running off the screen.' He right clicked on the task bar icon looking for the 'Move' option and it wasn't there. (In Windows7, you have to let the task bar item expand and them right click on the instance you desire in order to see the familiar options of 'Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and Close.')

Once he selected 'Move' he was able to move the application window (using the arrow keys) back onto the screen so it could be viewed.

I then realized I was getting the access error, because when I right clicked on the task bar and then left clicked on the program, it was attempting to launch a second instance of the program. It couldn't do it because the program was already running and had locked the needed files.

'Moving' windows back on the screen is often required when you work with multiple monitors and then switch to work on only one monitor. In this Gotcha, I hadn't been working on multiple monitors, but the crash must have mixed up the window location. 'Move' fixed the problem. If you can see an application icon on the task bar, but not on the screen, assume it is running and you need to 'Move' it onto the screen.
