Problems with Safari Loading Sites and Photos

For the past week (Feb. 2015) I've experience problems with Safari loading websites on my 2009 20" iMac desktop. Running version OSX Lion 10.7.3 4 GB. Intel Duo Core 2.66 GHz
Mac also will frequently not upload photos at websites like Yahoo News or Facebook. It does this throughout the day.
So, I downloaded Chrome, thinking it would be a better browser if Safari is not functioning. Chrome is just slightly better, and when it won't load a website I get the following error message from Chrome: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET.
I'm debating taking the Mac to the Apple store for diagnosis or repair today, but if anyone else is experiencing similar problems, could you please offer some solutions as to what is going on.
Thank you.

Top sites and video problems with Safari 4.0 and Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard, I've had problems with Safari 4.0. My Top Sites page doesn't load anymore, I get a blank white page. Also, video tutorials from Apple's own site will not display the video. I hear the audio portion but do not get video. When I load the same pages in Firefox, they run as they are supposed to. In Leopard, everything was fine. Any help resolving these issues would be appreciated.

Nevermind. After restarting a couple of times, it worked itself out.

Problem with safari loading unselected pages

I've been having some problems in safari associated with pages loading that weren't selected. I don't believe that any of the pages that I end up on are actually links on the pages I was on. It happens when I'm reading in google reader or in Yahoo reading some of their top stories. I usually end up on a "select a survey question", I am able to hit the back button and get back to the page, but then it will try and forward to the same page I just left.
I've emptied cache, reset safari, ran the disk utility repair, and while it's an infrequent occurance it happens often enough that I want to fix it.

Good... you're up to date.
I think this may be more of a Google Reader issue then Safari. Try the troubleshooting help here.

Problems with Photoshop - loading filters and brushes

I'm having problems with my plug ins in Photoshop, which also includes brush sets.
There are all present and correct in the usual area you save them with in the application folders.
But when I want to use them in Photoshop either they don't show, or I get an error message saying I don't have the privileges to load them.
If you can help in any way, it would be great as I am at a loss on how I can get them to work. These are fairly critical to completing certain work (graphics for distressed T Shirts)
and would like to get them up and working before a project flies in and I can't use them.
I was able to add a few plug ins by changing the permissions on the files. But this has not solved the problem for all & I am still unable to get "MACHINE WASH DELUXE" to work.
Any help or suggestions would be useful,
Thanks
Stones

Sorry, the brushsets appear to be fine but it is the plugins we still have issues with. 8BF. files, they are stored under photoshop CS4 in applications, this plug in were trying to get work "MACHINE WASH DELUXE" worked on this Mac & Photoshop version previously, but on a different user account (Now a domain user, used to be a administrator that connects into the domain) Interestingly though non of the plugins work for the scanner etc, although they are in the same location as they would of been for the previous user. Not much done in trouble shooting the issue, once the brushes started to appear because we corrected the permissions, we were stumped on what move to take next.
Thanks for you assistance

Problem with some virtual sites and WebDAV

I have a handful of virtual sites on a snow leopard server that have WebDAV turned on to allows the owners of the site to update them. Things were working fine until this weekend when a site owner informed me he has having problems. I use Dreamweaver CS4 to edit sites and when I set them up, I add my admin account to the WebDAV realm allowed to Read/Write and update the site. I confirmed the problem that the owner was having and had the same problem with WebDAV on that site. I quickly checked several others and found that some work fine while others give me an error. Here is the error message I get from Dreamweaver.
I checked the log files for the site and received no useful information. I also looked in /var/log for any entries with WebDAV (grep -i webdav *), and again get no useful information. I tried setting up a new site and got the same error. One thing that I did notice is that the site did not have it's ownership changed to _www and the other sites were and get a feeling that might be part of this. Changing the ownership of all files and directories to _www did not fix the problem.
I'm mystified as to why it works for some sites and not others and am not sure where to go to debug this issue and get it working again.
DNS seems to be OK on the server.
minime:~ admin$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address     = 207.65.119.2
Current HostName    = minime.theporch.com
DNS HostName        = minime.theporch.com
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm also having the same issue. I have a feeling its related to a problem with spaces and Java, assuming that the "Top Sites" is generated with some Java application.
Maybe Septembers OSX update will help.

Huge problems with both Linksys site and HND

Hello,
As business user of CISCO products and for @home using Linksys by cisco WRT610N with the Mediahub ive always been a huge fan of your products and still support it every day, however, i have been talking 3 times over chat support now about the 2 problems i have and it seems no one understands what is going on.
1) I updated the firmware on my WRT610N to the latest from january 2009, succesfull
2) I installed LELA and run the Home Network Defender setup, product installed, got a serialkey
3) I click on a device change its security settings and then : PRODUCT NOT ACTIVATED.
Trying to log in over and over doesnt solve anything and reinstalling i tried already 3x aswell, i had to use a different emailadress now everytime, very annoying.
Apart from that, i couldnt use my original login on your site anymore i am getting the request a new password emails with a new pass and link but when i then try to login, it keeps saying that the information is not correct, over and over, repeated the process already 10x, no difference.
Therefor im now using a brand new registed username so i can at least post about my problems and hope Linksys (CISCO) will fix these issues so we can all make sure things work perfectly as with Cisco business products.
I hope to hear from anyone asap as i wanna get my problems solved soon,
Kind regards,
Michiel

Problem With Auto Loading Modules And Nvidia

Well I have old Nvidia card that seems to be giving me problems. The card is
01:07.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
The problem is that if I allow modules to be autoloaded my system will crash at boot. And it differs from crashes that i am used to seeing. Rather than going thru the whole boot and ending up at the login screen, I get a bunch of junk of the screen saying kernel panic. But unlike regular kernel panic errors it spits out a lot of lines and is stuck there.
Over six distros have failed to fully boot. Even the mighty knoppix couldnt get all the way thru. Debian and gentoo worked but for various reasons I dont want them for my system. Arch is my distro of choice. Why they work i dont know ? Maybe debian works due to they use old software. Gentoo well i have no clue, i used the installer to install cause i was lazy, but it installed w/ no problems??? Arch installed perfect as usually but upon boot fails.
Can anyone explain what i must do to get modules to autoload?

Ok fixed it FINALLY. Many many many many thanks go to stonecrest from #archlinux for the solution.
he said to do
hwdetect --show-modules
and then go thru and modprobe them untill one crashes my system. This is what i got
hwdetect --show-modules

Luckly i didnt have to go thru all of themsince it was intel-agp that was causing all the pain. So now i have a better vid card than intergrated and Arch Linux!!!!

Empty the Safari cache more often.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Problem with Safari and Flash

Hi guys,
i've a macbook pro 15' top-2010 with osx 10.7 Lion & Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.98 (beta) and i've this problem (with safari, firefox and chrome):
- when i go in a facebook game (cityville, poker, or other flash games) my cpu go at over 100% (also 150%) usage, the temperature become very very high and the fans go to 4500rpm.
in the other sites (youtube, normal flash site,...) i haven't problem.
note that all the browser are update at the last stable version. i've also tried to install the last stable version of flash (10.3.183.5) but nothing.
in the console, when i'm in a facebook game, i see (repeated many times):
- kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
- kernel: nstat_lookup_entry failed: 2
what can I do?
solutions?
thanks

i done this, but the problem remains.
I have to wait for updates (for lion and for adobe flash)

Problems with Safari, Firefox and Flash player

Ever since I got my new iMac that has Snow Leopard I've had problems with Safari and Firefox freezing or crashing. It appears that part of the problem is the Flash plugin because sometimes a screen pops up and says something like: the flash script is having problems. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling Flash, Safari and Firefox but the problem is still there. My browser seems to hang up or freeze a lot no matter if I use Safari or Firefox.
Any ideas?
I just discovered the Chrome browser from Google this morning and so far its working very well. No freezes and it appears to handle Flash video without any problems.
How can that be?
Thanks

Ah! The proverbial missing information. Why the regrets? Most people are having no issues migrating from previous computers; it's the preferred method. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac. You're a long way from starting over.

Problem with safari and wallpaper etc

I have a problem with safari and dashboard wallpaper... After rebot i loose history and topsites from safari. My deskboard wallpaper swiched back to this http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs28/f/2008/097/f/8/MacbookPro_Wallpaper_by_desingsblp.jpg
Whats is wrong with my mac?

HI and welcome...
Remove that particular desktop wallpaper. That's probably what's causing your to lose History and TopSites.
Open a Finder window. Now open the Library folder then the Safari folder. See if that wallpaper is hiding in the Safari folder. Mine does that also. If it's there, move it to the Trash but don't empty the Trash.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) Now relaunch Safari. If History and TopSites are ok, then empty the Trash. It's that image causing the problem.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options
