Internet freeze

I have tried both Safari and Firefox with no luck. The internet connection is working just fine until I try to add a credit card number to purchase something.I have deleted caches for Safari, repaired permissions, etc. This has only happened in the last two days. More than one web site is involved. I even tried to change the credit card number on my Mac account to make a purchase and everything locked up. The other main site I was trying was Circuit City. It is like my mouse and keyboard are no longer working. I have to shut down the computer or unplug to start again. Strangely, while it is down, Remote will open and play music, pictures. Any ideas?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Internet freezing my computer

    Hi everyone, A little history. My computer starting to freeze up with in the past two weeks, where I have to manually force shut down. I can't even use explore or firefox or any of my Microsoft apps including my Anti virus. Right now,  I am in safe mode and ran my kaspersky anti virus and did not picking anything up. I used my disk cleanup and took out all the temp files that was up to 1 GB (in Safemode), and I saw more files that I have never seen before.  I am trying to go to internet explore to reset it back to defalt setting o.k. but I don't know how to do that. Right now, I am in my HP support assistant to tune up my computer, but it is just running on "Set Restore Point" I am not a computer geek, so if you are going to give me advise, please explain it like you would as a to a 10 year old (but a 10 year old are more computer savy these days).  And any other advise you can give me will be much appreciated.

  • Internet freezes then network connections drop?

    New iMac with OS 10.7.2 Lion, I am experiencing frequent internet freezes and then all my network connections drop and I have to reboot the machine
    to continue working. It works fine for awhile then same thing! Anyone else having this issue? I am not using Wifi, we are using ethernet connection through a network. All of our other macs and pc's have no issues at all so it leads me to believe its the new Mac?

  • Internet freezes with Safari, Firefox & Chrome, but not when using MS IE

    When using my macbook wirelessly and am in the Mac OS, my internet freezes after 5 minutes, doesn't matter if I am using Safari, Firefox or Chrome. If I shut down and boot up Windows XP and use IE, it does not freeze up. I use my iMac with the same router wirelessly and never have any issues with Sarari... Can anyone suggest what I should try? I have removed and reloaded Safari, Firefox and just tried Chrome, with the issue still happening...
    Thanks,

    The web sites visited are pretty much the same on either the iMac or MacBook. These are well known sites for the most part. I always keep updates current with any of the software I use including Adobe...

  • Internet freezes while trying to print any file as PDF in Windows 7

    Hi
    I have Acrobat 9 Pro and I am running it on Windows 7.
    When I try to print a document off the internet and select Acrobat PDF as printer, "Save As" screen appears. The printing process freezes and I am not able to edit file name. Also the entire internet also freezes. When I call up Task Manager, this shows up as "running" however, nothing happens. The only way I can use inernet is by "End Task" when the printing closes and the internet session also closes.
    This is a problem I have been encountering in last three months. Before that I was able to perform this task without any problem.
    Searching for the solution in database has not yielded any solution.
    Please help.
    Thanks.
    Deepa Katel

    Also the entire internet also freezes.
    Adobe Acrobat can't freeze the entire internet.

  • Internet freezes up

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem.
    This all started about two months ago and it has progressively gotten worse. Whether I am using Internet Explorer 8.0 or Firefox 5.0.1 my internet connection will suddenly freeze up. I am able to sometimes close the windows, but when using Firefox, I cannot re-open it unless I restart the computer because it keeps coming with "Firefox is already running error". Also whether it is IE8 or Firefox, there are 3 or 4 processes still running after it freezes up and I close out the window.
    So far, I have disabled all add-ons to both IE8 and Firefox. I thought I might have a worm, trojan or virus, so I ran several malware utilites: Malware Bytes, Super Anti-spyware, IObit Malware. I have run NAV. I have also run Glary Utilites and CCleaner. I did all of this in the Safe Mode, but nothing was found.
    I have unistalled all of the programs that I recently installed, but to no avail. This happens whether I am using the direct connection to my router (NETGEAR) from my desktop or from my laptop through the wireless protion of my router.
    There is no rhyme or reason when this happens. Sometimes it is after being on the internet for 1 minute or ten minutes.
    I can't tell whether it is my router or the DSL connection because I have had Verizon for so long that my installation disks don't work with XP and I when I try to bypass my router, I can never acquire a network address, I am assuming it is because that I don't have the installation disks. I am also using the Westell modem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is going to be an issue with your pc and its handling of your browser(s), not the network. If it's failing to end the processes properly then you need to be looking at why that is.

  • Keypad and Internet Freeze on eBay page, shut Wifi needed to restore Safari

    (this is a repost from the iPhone 4 Category http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2491425&tstart=15 ; I think Internet and Networking looks like a better category. sorry I didn't notice this category first)
    This is totally repeatable (several days). I'm assuming there is just some combination of things going on on this particular page, but don't know what that might be so don't know what to test.
    Here's the scenario -
    WiFi is ON
    Open Safari, login to eBay
    Go To My eBay Summary Page (if it matters, I do have a few Active Listings displayed on this page, and some Watched Items; just want to include any details that might be relevant)
    At top of the page is eBay search menu - as soon as I go there, my iphone keypad displays as it should
    I touch the first letter for my search text and that letter is enlarged and the page totally freezes.
    I can't get out of this any way other than to go to settings and shut down WiFi, which closes Safari (probably just because I don't have strong enough signal to be online unless using WiFi).
    When I reopen Safari, I am logged out of eBay.
    I'm assuming this is an iPhone issue, not an eBay one, since I have no problem doing this common function on my computer.
    Any suggestions? It's so weird!

    just one bump in case someone new comes by who knows something about this; I have an appointment at Genius Bar tomorrow to get help on it.

  • A505-S6980 Internet Freeze

    We recently purchased an A505-S6980 with Windows 7 home premium edition.  It worked great for several  weeks but recently (since ~ Jan 24, 2010) has been performing poorly when using the internet.  It doesn't matter if the browser is Explorer or Firefox.  Initially the browser will work fine then becomes incredibly slow and eventually everything locks up (including task manager) and requires a power down to log out.  The system works OK in safe mode with networking.  The only software installed since purchase was Windows Office, PC Tools Spyware Doctor, iTunes, and Mozilla Firefox.  All these programs were installed well before the onset of our freezing problems.  Any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem (or fix it)?
    Rhonda

    When you wrote "It works ok in safe mode", do you mean that you booted up Windows 7
    in Safe Mode, or that you used Firefox and EI8 in their Safe Mode option.
    Now depending on your response from above you can go many ways.
    If you started the web browser in safe mode then it means that both or one of
    the software got corrupted and needs to be reinstall, or it means that the add-ons
    used in one affects the performance that it makes it not respond. But that wouldn't
    be the case with IE8 because it doesn't really have any add-ons that would make  it act
    that way, unless one of it vulnerabilities is being exploited and makes its act like that.
    If the add-ons are the problems on Firefox, then you can disable all, and the enable one by one,
    or three or any number at a time and see which one causes the problem, and remove it.
    Also try and delete the cookies and all data store on both browsers, see if that works.
    You can try older versions of the browsers and see if that works better.
    Have you scanned your hard drive for malware or viruses?
    Also try Safari, the PC version, of the web browser, see if that also goes down or it works fine.
    Hope this helps a little bit.

  • WRT54GS internet freeze

    Well I hooked up 3 wired PC into the router. 2 of the PC, both Win XP, works fine and the internet does not freeze. While the 3rd PC (Wins ME), when I click Internet Explorer it logs into the internet, but if i click anything else it freezes. I can't do anything further and sometimes I can't even press the Start button on the left hand corner, i gotta restart my comp. Any suggestions? 

    Check the Internet Options, delete all the cookies and files from temporary internet folder, check the amount of system memory you have. If you can, go ahead and upgrade the memory. Also run scandisk and disk defragmenter on primary drive.  Also check for any updates for IE and OS.

  • Recent software upgrade from MF1 to ML1, internet freezing.  Help please.

    I recently did the latest upgrade to my phone, Samsung Galaxy S3, and everything is fine.  However 90% of the time I am using the internet or google app, the pages freeze.  I never got an error message ever before, but now I get a pop up message that says web page has become unresponsive, with an option to either WAIT or CLOSE PAGE.  Is there anything I can do to get this to stop?  Or should I download another internet app to use?  I feel like it would just end up the same.
    Please help if you can.  Thank you.

        No need to worry Everyone82! We would be delighted to assist with this issue. It simply sounds like the software was not fully installed properly. Have you attempted to erase the cache of the browser? Have you completed a full restore since update? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • Internet Freezes then loads back up?

    Hi I'm posting this to see if I can figure out whether my issue is with my internet or the iMac itself.
    I have 2 iMacs and the DSL modem is hooked up to one of them.
    When I'm on the iMac that my DSL modem is hooked up to, it will sometimes freeze for about 5 seconds and then load back up. I.E. if I'm playing some sort of internet linked game, I will be playing, then everything will freeze for 5 seconds, then load up all at once.
    These problems however will not happen on the other iMac as well as the other laptops we have around the house.
    Also if I'm watching a video on Youtube, if it freezes in the middle of the video, I will have to refresh the page just to continue watching the video. I will have to refresh the page about 5 times within about an 8 minute video.
    I'm not sure whether this is a Internet problem (my modem is like 5 years old) or just a problem I can solve straight from my iMac. I'd like to know soon so I get can this problem solved and see if i have to go out and buy a new modem.
    Post if you need more information!

    Hi,
    Try ; Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    and : About NVRAM and PRAM
    to ensure the proper operation of the SMC.
    and if still issues persist,  try: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

  • Internet Freezes

    Does anyone know why my internet keeps freezing up. At least once an hour, my internet just stops working for a good five minutes. It works ok the rest of the time. And it's always out of nowhere.

    Start with the modem's signal stats. Perhaps they already are, or they are close to being out of spec and intermittently they go completely of spec. Try getting them here http://192.168.100.1 or here http://10.0.0.1
    Please post the *Downstream Power Level*, the *Upstream Power Level*, and the *SNR* (Signal to Noise Ratio) numbers.
    What is the exact make and model number of the modem ?
    Is this a WiFi connection ?
