Is anyone having problems with Safari since upgrading to Lion?

I've got 2 problems.
1. Gmail gadget in iGoogle is blank
2. On a lot of pages, some of the text appears as a lot of A's in square boxes
Neither of these problems appear in Firefox 5.0.1
Anyone having the same problems?
I've tried running Disk Utility Repair Permissions
Cheers
Nick

Hi Thomas - listen, I want to tell you that we aren't necessarily all in the same boat...what I mean is that this problem almost ruined my business and I spent a long time reading the dozen or so threads in this board, and tried solutions people suggested in each one. I had two separate problems...the first was like yours, and it was indeed solved by the time machine save setting mentioned above. The other was that I couldn't get an object selected with a click of the mouse every tenth time or so...I had to click onto a different slide and then come back to mine. I started turning off every single piece of hardware and software one by one, in search of a conflict. It turns out that my Apple Magic Mouse was the problem. I switched it to a plain MS wireless mouse and problem solved. *****, but it let's me continue. My point is that too many people are using Keynote just fine for any of us to throw in the towel and say it's universally and irreversibly broken. There are different bugs in play, but you have to go on the assumption that there's a way out if you can spot what's not quite right. Sorry I don't have your specific solution, but this mindset is what saved me from jumping ship to PPT.

Anyone having problems with Safari after upgrading to Yosemite?

Safari takes over 2 minutes to open after upgrading to Yosemite and once open it is not responsive. What is wrong? I have redone the download and it still has the problem.

I found this workaround and it worked for me.
"According to Hontz, the issue seems to be affecting only iPhone 4S users. Hontz has provided the following workaround to fix the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number. 2) When the system answer press 1 for “Program or activate your phone” 3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, “Settings updated.” 4) Open the Task Manager (double click the home button) and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications 5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe) 6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.
Did iOS 5.0.1 also mess up your iPhone Contacts? Let us know if the workaround helped."

Is anyone having problems with keynote after upgrading to Lion?

After upgrading my system to Lion, my keynote presentations are becoming a nightmare. They crash all the time, and are becoming significantly slower, not just due to the autosave but after making just a few movements the beach ball appears and takes forever for me to be able to edit the document again. When I try to put into presentation mode the computer stops, sometimes I even lost the images inside the saved prasentation, and when I tried to recover from the auto saved versions, they were corrupted also. I talked to the apple support here in Brazil and after running all kinds procedures to check and fix the disk and hardware even in the safe mode, it still remained with the same problem. Another suggestion was to reinstall the keynote, and I even bought a new version from the app store even though the old one was updated. Again, nothing changed. Does anyone have the same problem or knows what to do?

Is anyone having problems with Safari Browser on MBP?

Hi since yesterday Safari is not working properly with my MBP. I am using firefox to view this site. Anyone else with the same issue?

What exact problems are you having? I have been having intermittent problem with mine. Sometimes certain sites will not connect. I get a message that the server stopped responding. I open Firefox and it connects fine.

Anyone having problems with Safari on an external monitor with Lion?

I have an iMac with external second monitor. Upgrade to Lion. Aside from it being terribly slow, and having typing problems (where first letter appears 4th or 5th when beginning to type), I've noticed the following:
On iMac monitor, everything works fine.
On the external monitor, it's often impossible to fill in a form. Drag Safari over to the main monitor - no problem. Drag it back - still can't complete a form.
Another example: Netflix. Plays on either monitor. However, stopping and starting a movie with the mouse doesn't work. With the space bar, it does.
Overall terribly disappointed in what Lion has done to my computer.

Having problems with ebay since upgrading to 10.0.1

can anyone help?, i upgraded from 3.6 to the latest 10.0.1 a wk ago, all seems fine except when it comes to ebay, i cannot send a message to anyone! and ebay bless them just said today that the problem lies with firefox?,
hope someone can offer any help

I picked a random game and looked at their forums and some people were having problems.
One solution was to trash the preferences folder. However, that deleted any save points.
As I don't have any of the games, take a look you your user/Library/Preferences folder for a folder for the game or for BigFishGames. If there is just a plist file, you can try moving that to the desktop and start the game. The plist will be recreated by the app. If that doesn't work, try moving the entire folder to the desktop and try again. If that does solve it, you can try moving items one-by-one into the newly created folder and see which one causes it to fail.

Problems with Safari since upgrading to Snow Leopard!!! Help!!!

I updated my OS to Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a significant change in the way my Safari runs. I NEVER had problems with it prior to the upgrade. Lots of times it is unbearably slow in trying to open the page and more often than not it says "Safari Cannot Open The Page". This leads me to close Safari, wait a couple of seconds, and open it back up again, then repeat if it happens again! All of my other programs seem to be running fine, it's just Safari... and I did reset Safari and empty the cache. I would hate to have to lug my 24" iMac through the mall to the Apple store. ANY ADVICE?!?!?!?!?! Much appreciated...

HI,
Try Safari maintenance...
Do this one more time anyway...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, run in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. *Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Now restart your Mac.
If nothing has helped, then post a crash log and we can get a better idea of what's happening...
How to locate a crash log:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

Anyone having problems with 4s after upgrading to the 5.0.1 Software

My iphone 4s was working perfectly fine before i upgraded to the 5.0.1 software. Now i cant make calls or receive. Everytime i try to make a call its say " Call fails" and then its searches to connect to the network. I have tried restoring it 3 time to the factory settings in itunes but it still has the same problems. It has to be something with the 5.0.1 software as my phone worked perfectly fine before. Is there anyway to go back to the 5.0.1 software?

I found this workaround and it worked for me.

Is anyone having problems with graphics since yesterday?

Icons and graphics, photos and videos, are not showing in Firefox for me. I had to use Internet Explorer for last two days! Help!

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/flash-113-crashes
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Problems with email since upgrading to Lion os

Hi, I recently upgraded my iMac and macbook pro to Lion os and email has changed on my iMac but not macbook pro, also if i put in the details i have for my email account its not working on my iMac with the upgraded email but it is working on my macbook pro and also iphone 4s, anyone help??

There are many new features in Lion Mail, not all of them good as you've probably found.
Since you are able to get mail on your MBP, but not your iMac, probably safe to rule out any server-side error.
For your iMac, may I suggest that you set up a new user account, add in your email credentials and see what happens. If you are successful, that would indicate that something is wrong with your main user email setting or preferences.
If your new user email works, then you may consider deleting your old accounts, re-start, and then re-enter the info into Mail.
If that sitll doesn't do the trick, you can navigate to the /~user/library folder, find the Mail folder, delete it, then go to the Preferences folder, find the com.appe.mail. plist and the com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile, delete both of them, empty the trash, re-start, and re-enter your email info again. These steps WILL delete all of your old email. You have been warned.

HT2506 Is there anyone else who is having problems printing with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X?

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.
When I try to print anything it comes out looking like this:
Apple PREVIEW team!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Linc...
Here is a copy of your prior post to me on a different forum...
Still no resolution...
Linc Davis
Re: Anyone having problems with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X? When using a pdf form that allows multiline text, I am finding that the printing is completely illegible. The lines are stacking on top of each other.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mar 11, 2012 4:13 PM (in response to Linc Davis)
Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help!

Anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

anyone else having problems with popups since the new security upgrade? can't get rid of them

You may have inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it. It ought not to be related to any Apple security update.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck
