Safari "Freezing" during page loading

I have never had this problem before I downloaded Safari 4.0 in a stupid software update. While loading a page, it freezes. Safari doesn't lock up, I can still use the menus and can minimize and close the window, but the page does not show on my screen. I can access Google and these Mac forums along with a few other sites. One of which I cannot access is YouTube. It does this every time I try and load a page there. I can't think of what would cause this to happen, but it must be something to do with Safari 4. I have seen other reports of Safari freezing and crashing, but I haven't seen some that seem to be the problem I have. Is there someway to fix it on my own? Because it would be awesome, otherwise I'm just going to have to use Firefox until theres an update for it.
I even took a video of what happens when I try and access YouTube, since I know sometimes my descriptions of things can be somewhat confusing.

It worked perfectly for me and now Safari runs just fine.

Safari causes system freeze during page load

Description:
I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now (about 2 weeks), without any luck. I've tried reading a couple of threads describing similar problems, but it looks like I've got something else going on here seeing as it affect the entire system. I appreciate any suggestion!
When a window in Safari is open and you're loading a page, it sometimes (almost always) causes a system freeze. Any action performed on any input device within OSX while a page is loading gets delayed by 5-20 seconds. Anything from right-clicking, to opening a new tab in Safari, to navigating to a new folder in Finder.... literally anything. The actual loading of the page is also affected by this. So when I click a link, the page becomes white and the system stalls. After X seconds, the system resumes and the page is displayed fully loaded. Once the page is loaded, everything is back to normal. I can just leave the Safari-window open without anything happening. It's just during the loading of a page.
Using the mouse to move and switch between open windows are the only actions I seem to be able to perform during the system freeze.
When it doesn't cause a system-wide freeze, it will still take forever for any page to load. Which isn't a problem in any other browser and I've never had any speed issues in general on any device.
What I know for sure is that I can solve the problem by closing all open Safari-tabs and windows or closing the app completely, and use Chrome instead. But I do like Safari, so I hope there's another way to fix this.
I should also note that I've made no changes to the system for many weeks now, other than installing whatever updates might have been available on the App Store.
What I've tried within Safari:
- program restart
- reset settings (every option checked)
- disable and remove extensions (only had one installed, LiveReload for Adobe Brackets)
- empty cache
- delete cookies
What I've tried within OSX:
- system restart
- complete OSX-recovery
- activity monitor (CPU, HDD and RAM always within normal values during all of this)
- checked HDD (successfull)
- checked internet-connection (got 50Mbit/s connection, no speed issues, checked on multiple devices)
- tried other browsers (Chrome (OSX) and IE (Win 7, Parallels) both run smoothly)
- turned off IPv6 in terminal (based on a suggestion here at the forums)
- disabled iCloud-sync
- disabled Dropbox
- probably a couple of other things i can't remember right now

So... I finally fixed it.
In addition to the things I mentioned I tried, I also checked if it could be malware-related. It wasnt. I then checked if it was just affecting my user-account or OSX globally. I created a new account and Safari ran perfectly. I therefore assumed it had to be something in my library-folder.
I deleted just about any mention of Safari in the Library-folder (the visible one) and just to be absolutely sure, I deleted the Contents-folder inside Safari.app in the Applications-folder. I then downloaded and installed Safari 7.0.3. Everything runs smooth now.

Safari freeze on page load

Safari seems to be freezing whenever I attempt to load a page. The program launches and opens an empty window fine, but freezes exactly when I type in an address and hit enter. Re-installing, deleting preferences, checking permissions and verifying disk have not worked. Interestingly, though, the program works fine in other user accounts.
Any ideas?

Try running Onyx using the settings as shown on the screenshot here:

Browser freezes during page loading and then either shows the cause as silverlight, or flash to be the cause, on two different computers, since last 3 upgrades

Since the last three upgrades of Firefox the browser starts to load a web page then freezes. A pop up states that either silverlight or flash have stopped working. This can last for as long as two minutes before it continues to load, or for as little as five seconds.
I have tried various methods to cure this, by reinstalling silverlight, flash, and Firefox.
The only permanent cure is to revert back to an older version of Firefox. I would continue with an earlier version but I get sick and tired of popups from the likes of Yahoo, and yourself telling me to upgrade.
I have also put the the program back to basics, and this is a pain because when I find it's still the same I have to reload all the add ons. Maybe you could devise a method where we only need to click a button to put everything back as it was before resetting it to default.
This problem is occurring on two totally different computers, both running Intel gear, one i7 at 3.5, with 8 meg of ram, one core 2 duo with 4meg of ram, no drain from graphics cards as they all have their own ram.
i7 desktop Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, and Dell XPS Laptop core 2 duo Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit both latest windows 7 versions

All,
It appears that the page Javascript maximum limit size was reached. The error stopped appearing after some of the page Javascript code was removed out to Application Static Files. I wonder if there exists any "direct" indicator by the system whenever the size limit has been reached?
Again, the run error only occurred when the page was loaded in "Debug" mode.

How to set default date of 3 weeks(21 days) from today's date during page load?

I want to show the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.
For example ,i have given as adf.CurrentDate + 21 in EO for the attribute 'DueDate'. But it is showing me the date as 9.7.2013. 3 weeks default date is not getting set.If i give adf.currentDate also ,it not giving me today's date,it showing the 9.7.2013 only.Kindly provide your suggestions to set the default date as 3 weeks from today's date during page load.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
when you set the value on the entity level then you don't want to show it during page load but when the field is empty ? Correct? if so then the use case is a different one. The easiest way to implement this would be to create a Rowimpl class (Java option) and then in the get method of the entity attribute check if the value is null and if it is, set it to the current date + 21 days. This way all rows will be set with the 3 weeks due date but fields are not overridden each time the row is queried

How i can check whether a component is being placed or it's being rendered during page load...

Hi,
I have a piece of code which needs to be triggered only when the component gets rendered.. and at the same time it shouldn't get trigerred when author places it in the page...
For an example, Consider i have a component called samplecomponent. Also i have a piece of code in samplecomponent.jsp which should get triggered only when the component is being rendered during page load and if author places that component in the page (ofcourse the samplecomponent.jsp will get triggered but my particular piece of code should not get triggered.. Is there any condition to check that..?
Thanks
Shankar .A

Hello Shankar,
I think this is very straight forward and you can set this condition based on any of the property of your component via check null/empty condition because when you will drop your component the properties of your component will be not initialized and you can check for at (let say you have a property which is mandetory so to instantiate that component you have to have at least that property)
And let say if above option doesn't work for you then there is one more option of checking the edit mode of the page and based on that you can differ your code. But edit mode code will not work until you will see the page in edit mode, the code will only work when you switch to preview mode (publish mode) of page from edit mode (from sidekick at bottom you have option to go to edit and preview mode).
WCMMode mode = WCMMode.fromRequest(request);
if (!mode.equals(WCMMode.EDIT) && !mode.equals(WCMMode.DESIGN)) {
//this part of code never execute when your page is in edit mode (dropped content or load the page in edit mode). but this part of code will run when you switch from edit mode to previe mode (in author node) or on publish instance of Server because there will be no edit mode there.
Let me know if you need more information or it doesn't help you.
Thanks,
Pawan

Server hangs or freezes during heavy load

During peak times of the day, especially during heavy load on the Calendar Server,
the application seems to hang. The client side application will not respond on
the user's desktop, and uni* commands on the server itself respond considerably
slow.

There are two parameters in the server configuration file that are strongly
believed to be a trigger of server hangs or freezes in large deployments and/or
busy servers. Here is a description of the problem:

Large deployments tend to be 3000+ users per node. This could be a single or
multi-node environment.

A lock manager fix was implemented in 4.0 to correct a problem that was
found in 3.51 where the server would hang. At that time, the parameters called
read/writelocktimeouts
were introduced as a failover mechanism in case the
database was not available, which would then trigger the client process to
disconnect rather than hang the whole server.

These timeouts effectively will terminate a process whose read or write exceeds
the specified periods. The default of 20 seconds is quite a large amount of time;
however, it is not totally unlikely that such a value could be met on a
very busy system. If this is the case, and there is some relation between a
process being terminated by one of these timeouts and subsequent system
instability, then the "solution" would not be to extend the values of the
timeouts but rather to exclude them. This way, it will ensure that no process is
terminated this way and therefore the process would be allowed to continue until
it had completed its job.

The timeouts were not removed from the product, but under normal circumstances
they probably won't be needed anymore anyhow. It seems that on a busy calendar
server, setting the db timeout alarms may actually trigger the server to freeze.
Below are some examples of errors that appear in the log files which show
that the database is no longer accepting client requests:

db_VISTA ERROR -920 -> cst_d_open: d_open
db_SchedBaseOpen: unable to open database
probable cause: unilckd is down or "/users/unison/tmp/unisonlckm"
was removed
uniengd: database lock timeout
ITEM: "NA,NA" <0,0>
CLIENT: "unises", "A.02.80"
INET-NAME:
INET-ADDR:
CALL: "SessionsInfoGet"

To make the fix:
<OL>
<LI>Using your favorite editor, edit the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file.
In the following section you will see these two parameters:

[ENG]
writelocktimeout = 20
readlocktimeout = 20

<LI>Place a "#" sign (or the appropriate comment symbol for your OS) in front of
these two lines and save the file.

<LI>The server will now have to be restarted in order for the changes to take
effect.
</OL>

This looks similar to what I'm seeing.
DPM 2010, there's one backup set (for me a file server disk) that every time I try to run the initial replica on it the server hangs and needs to be rebooted by iLO. It doesn't just die suddenly, first the data stream on the backup stops then the OS becomes
less responsive but there is no resource issue. trying to open event view will cause a few things to lock up then over a few mins the server is complete froze. like the disk drives have been locked.
Suspecting McAfee, I added in all the exclusions, that didn't help so I added the process exclusions which are done by setting dpmra and csc to low risk and that didn't help either. I could reproduce it just by kicking off a backup for this one file servers
drive so it's easy to test with.
Tonight, I had some permissions in EPO to let me stop the scanning completely and disable the on-access scan and for the first time it worked!
There is definitely an issue between DPM and McAfee beyond what is on MS's web page for AV checks.
I don't have a workaround yet other than stopping the AV completely... Something to follow up on next week. For the moment I made some progress though.

Safari hangs on page loading

Hi all:
Recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 now on Safari 5.1.3, It loads fairly well on most anything, but there are certain pages that it hangs and never completes loading on 2 or 3 specific and particular pages, that I never had a problem to load with previous version of Safari.
These pages never load up and they are always the same, they end up in a never ending attempt to load. They use to load before with no problems
I've trashed out the Safari cache multiple times with no results.
Any ideas???
Thank You.
AppleLou

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, select Help 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.
As Guest, test. 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.
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 some 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.

Safari Hanging on Page Loads

Since doing the 10.4.7 update, each time I try to load a new website Safari freezes about one third through the load. I click the stop button and then reload and it loads OK. Any ideas?

I'm in the same sinking boat. I've tried empting the cache, deleting the favicons in my icons folder, reseting, deleting the history, changing the DNS numbers or leaving them blank, etc...
The only thing I know for sure is that it's not a problem w/ my network or my provider. Other computers are just fine w/ my connection.
This issue seems so random, as it seems that it can happen to any site at any time. This is getting old. Will we ever have a solution? I hope, as I'd much rather use Safari than anything else.
HELP!

POWL: Refresh the cache results of POWL during page load.

Hi Friends,
I am using a feeder class for my POWL. Whenever the user clicks opens the POWL, he sees the cached data/results and he is expected to do a manual refresh to see current/new data. I want to eliminate this by refreshing the cache during the page load itself and show user current data. I already know about the exporting parameter in handle_action method which is used to do refresh. But it does not work in this case.
Pls help.

Hello Saud,
In which release you are? in new release you can do refresh by personalization where options are there.
There are other options also to refresh
1) By passing URL parameter refreshA=X it will refresh all queies when loading
2) By passing refreshq=X, it will refresh the current query
best regards,
Rohit

Execute code on UI component during page load

Hi All,
I am usng Jdeveloper 11gR2.
I want to invoke below code snippet to change the properties of input text fields and set them to enable on page load -
 FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
 RichPanelFormLayout formClass = (RichPanelFormLayout)root.findComponent("id");
 List<UIComponent> uiComponentList = formClass.getChildren();
 for (UIComponent uiComponent : uiComponentList) {
 if (uiComponent instanceof RichInputText) {
 //((RichInputText)uiComponent).setDisabled(true);
 ((RichInputText)uiComponent).setColumns(100);
 Boolean flag = ((RichInputText)uiComponent).isChanged();
 System.out.println("flag - " + flag);
At present the code snippets works well on command component action but I want to execute the same during initial page load without the use of any command component.
Please advise on how to achieve this.
Best Regards,
Ankit Gupta

Check out https://blogs.oracle.com/adf/entry/an_epic_question_how_to
Solution 2 (invoke actions) are deprecated in 12c so I wouldn't recommend using it.

Safari's initial page load delay... where to turn off or change?

Hi,
A while back I read that Safari puts a few seconds delay when loading a new webpage, .. and 4.03 still has it. I just can't find where it was that I read how to take it off.. Does any one know?
Basically I want Safari to start drawing the page as soon as it gets to it, kind of like opera does.
Just in case Why don't I just use opera? I prefer Safari, but I don't always need the initial page that is loading but a link on it... and I find myself waiting.. and on fast connection, just to load a page I shouldn't have to be waiting until the browser feels the page load is complete.
Thanks
Oscar

HI,
There's no delay feature that you are referring to in Safari. If you can find the article you read, could you please post it here?
Have you tried emptying the cache?
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache
Also, try using Open DNS

Firefox 27.01 freezes on page load after reset

I am using Arch Linux and Firefox 27.01. Firefox complained that it took too long to start and recommended a reset. After resetting, it has become unusable. The start page loads, but if I go to a website, within 10 seconds, it becomes unresponsive completely. I've tried letting it unfreeze, but it just stays hanging.
I rebooted, tried deleting Firefox and mozilla-common and then rebooting and then reinstalling, and I tried safe mode, but it STILL freezes. Also, I tried installing Firefox 26 instead, but it also freezes in this manner. I didn't get any of these problems before I reset Firefox. I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what could possibly cause this problem. Maybe something with the profile?
I would use the automatic troubleshooter, but I can reach this page in time, but I cannot login without it freezing. This makes Firefox completely unusable. (I don't want to switch to chrome) Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jcbahr,
First of all, I am sorry that it became unusable. And second, are you talking about that turtle pop up on the bottom of the screen? That should point to the article on how to make it faster. When you reset Firefox, data is sent to an Old Profile folder and it automatically added back as well.
Since it still freezes in Safe Mode, it ideally is not an add on. However this doe not eliminate extensions or other preferences. It does restore preferences to the default one though. So we have another troubleshooting article that has worked for others [http://mzl.la/MP6ZBS]
I hope that is all new information, and let us know if it helps!

SAFARI, FIREFOX, IE / PAGE LOADING STALLS

I'm experiencing the same problem on all three browsers. When I open a new page in the browser window, the load process stalls -- usually when it is trying to load one of the last 2 or 3 items.
This problem started about a week ago.
I've cleared the caches, and deleted the cookies. I removed and reinstalled Firefox - my preferred browser.
G4 / 933MHz / 1GB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, Gary. From your description, it doesn't sound as if the browsers are stalling — it just sounds as though the pages in question weren't designed and thoroughly tested to load properly on various different browsers. Unfortunately, that's more nearly the rule than the exception: it's unusual for any page to be displayed exactly identically in two different browsers, never mind three or more different browsers. If the page-loading progress bar reaches completion, and you are able to use buttons and links that appear on the pages, then you're getting everything you can in each of the browsers you use — but not necessarily the same stuff in each browser. If you only had a single browser, you'd never know you were missing anything on the web sites you visit unless a freind who could see the missing features told you about them. With three browsers to choose from, use the one that most satisfactorily renders each web site you frequent. This may mean switching from browser to browser as you move from one web site to another. It's a drag, but the web site designers are to blame for failing to test and debug their sites more thoroughly.
