Safari hangs on Gmail and other websites

Hello,
Everytime i log into gmail safari keeps giving me wheel of death, status bar hangs on 5 - 7 items loading.
I tried updating Flash, Air, and safari recent update and nothing works but disabling all plugins from the pref pane.
This also occurs on Firefox also so im not sure what is causing it. how can i debug it?

I resolved it. and i see there is a few more people that ran into this problem.
THIS IS A ADOBE AIR PROBLEM.
There was an adobe air or flash update recently, that caused the browsers to hang due to FScommand scripting passed to the player that caused this.
I did:
Utilities:
Adobe Air Uninstaller - removed everything
Adobe flash update.
Utilities - disk utility - repair permissions.
Viola. Everything works.

  • Firefox 4 on XP hangs on gmail (and other sites) when flash is installed

    Firefox 4 hangs for about 30 to 45 seconds when logging into gmail and some other sites. The problem goes away when flash is uninstalled. This sounds similar to the problem:

    However, performing the solution provided (uninstalling and reinstalling after reboot) does not work on my system.

    You have a general.useragent.override pref that is corrupting the user agent.

  • Why won't the "block cookies and other website data" setting work on Safari 7.0.2?

    Why doesn't the "block cookies and other website data" setting on Safari 7.0.2 work?  Everytime I try this setting, I still get cookies and other data that needs to be deleted from my computer.

    This has been the case for sometime.
    There is no effective way to block these cookies.
    Try this, may help.
    Safari > Preferences > Security > Cookies and other website data:
    Press "Remove All Other Website Data:'
    Do this twice.

  • MacBook Pro issues connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites

    Hi,
    In the past week or so, I have had problems connecting to Gmail, Facebook, and other websites on my MacBook. When I try to open Gmail, I get the following message "Safari can't verify the identity of the website "accounts.google.com". The certificate for this website is invalid..." etc. It asks if I want to connect anyways, and I do, but then once I'm on Gmail, I can't use gchat and all of the buttons (delete, reply, etc) are blank. When I try to connect to Facebook, I just get a mostly blank page. I'll include screenshots in case that's helpful.
    When I try using Firefox, it doesn't allow me to connect to either website at all.
    I hope someone can help me with this issue!

    On your iMac, open System Preferences > Date & Time  then select the Date & Time tab.
    Make sure:  Set date and time automatically is selected.
    Then select the Time Zone tab.
    Make sure:  Set time zone automatically using current location is selected.

  • IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites?

    IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites? I just upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 3 retina display and when I try to upload pictures in safari for facebook, the picture upload just stalls and never completes. This happens in other sites as well. How can I fix this? Is anyone also experiencing this issue???

    Hi Hindhaughlee, <br />Thanks for the post.
    This may not be the best place to post such a solution but maybe some users will find it. If it turns out to be a major problem with a simple solution maybe we will manage to document it somewhere.
    Are you able to provide more details please:
    * exactly what software and software versions is the problem with ? <br /> You appear to be a Windows 8 user, but presumably the Kaspersky software may be applicable to other Windows versions, which Kaspersky software is this tested with ?
    * What is he exact error message or warning that Kaspersky generates in this situation ?
    * is the problem documented elsewhere, preferably in a public open site, if so maybe you could provide a link
    * can you detail simple but exact detailed Steps To Reproduce that will enable others to test out this problem and solution.
    Cheers
    John <br /> <sub>One of the forum moderators J99<sub>
    P.S. <br />
    Anyone with this problem finding that the solution works may wish to vote for this thread and solution. Or if someone else can produce links to examples of this or you are able to give precise Steps To Reproduce please add a post of your own.

  • My apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari and other websites..can some1 help me out?

    my apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari,itunes and other websites. the ip address is not strtng wid 169 and i have reset the network settings also..can some one help me out

    The 169 IP address mans it did not correctly negotiate with the router:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I get rid of 97] in Cookies and other website data

    When I open Preferences/Privacy and select "Details" under "Cookies and other website data" the first entry which pops up is
                 97] plug-ins
    If I highlight this entry and click remove, It is removed for perhaps 10 seconds, and then re-appears in the list.
    1- What is this?
    2- How do I get rid of it?
    This is clearly a prvacy issue, or Apple would not be listing it in this listing with the associated warning.

    Log out, then log back in while holding down the shift key after you enter your login password. Keep holding until the desktop appears. That will prevent third-party add-ons from loading. Try again to delete that item.
    If you still can't delete it, and you still want to, proceed as follows.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
    Quit Safari if it’s running.
    Step 1
    Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
    Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion) or open the Library subfolder of your home folder (pre-Lion). Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Caches/Metadata/Safari
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Leave the Finder window open. Try Safari again.
    Step 2
    If it still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder, and move the following file to the Desktop:
    Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
    Cookies/Cookies.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    PubSub/Database
    Safari
    Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.
    Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
    If you don’t like the results of step 2, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place. You don’t need to restore the files you deleted in step 1.
    Ok... completed step1 with no change.
    went on to "part of "step 2...
    I kept the Bookmarks.plist, but then deleted the assortment of safari related Caches and Cookies
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
    Cookies/Cookies.plist
    (I found several entries in Cache, but forgot to write down which ones I deleted ... sorry.)
    did not delete any of the preferences or the last two entries in your list above.
    Tried again and "the perp" was still there. "Remove all" on the Details tab did not change things...
    However, there were now only 2 entries -- the 97] AND my bank's entry (Chase)!
    Going back to the main privacy tab and clicking "Remove all Website Data" this time DID remove the last two entries.
    =====
    Now when I open the details tab, (I run my own webserver as my home page) Safari showed ONLY the cache entry for my server, no cookies.
    However, I then noticed something quite intersting.
    I left the details tab open and pulled to the side (the joy of having a 27 inch iMac) and naviaged to Apple.com
    and then to support and then logged in to here.
    As I was doing this. the Details window first showed, "Apple.com" .. Cache, Cookies, Local Storage
    but then virtually immediately poped up entries:
    doubleclick.net ... Cache
    edgekey.net ... Cache
    google.com ... Cookies
    Very interesting, both from the point of view that "details" was showing me what was happening in "real time."
    And the fact that, even with zero external ads, the web site, Apple.com, was inserting entries in the cache for doubleclick.net and edgekey.net. I can "almost" understand the "google.com" cookie, ecept for the fact that the search engine selected in the tool bar is "bing."... as I said "interesting."
    With this new "insight" on the Details screen, It may be possible to determine WHERE this 97] actually came from. However, I would still like an explanation of what it actually is.... since the "]" (right square bracket) character is evidently a "special character" for search engines -- google, Yaho and Bing all treat it the same way -- they ignor it.... even when the entire 3 character string is quoted -- "97]" -- the pages returned all are for entries with only 97 in them.

  • Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

    I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Hanging start up and other oddities

    Hanging Startup and other oddities
    I'm not especially proficient with the upkeep and terminology that comes with the programming aspect of Macs, so, if you do help, if you could please put whatever advice you have in lay terms, it would really help me out.
    I've had my laptop computer for going on three years now, and I've never had a problem like this before. My machine started to really slow down yesterday morning, and generally when ever it does that, I just do a quick restart, and everything is back at normal. Well, not so yesterday.
    To begin with, it took me to the grey screen, and it just stayed there for about ten minuets. It didn't change, didn't move to load the apple insignia, nothing. So I gave it a forced restart, and it did it again, except it load the apple logo.
    Third time, it got me to blue screen. On restart #4 (force restart #3), it finally loads into my desk top, but the slow processing remained. I tried to go in and repair disk permissions, but then it froze up, and I forced a restart. This time, back to the grey screen.
    I lost count as to how many time I restarted, but I finally went and rooted out my OS disks, and did a restart with disk 1 in, holding down PR+CtrlApple (It was my understanding that this would zap the P-Ram, and would at lest sort of help with whatever my problem was). Well, it took me to grey screen, but now a small folder is in the center of my screen. going from the finder icon to a "?" in the middle of the folder.
    Did a restart holding down the "C" key, and it went into the install screen that launches from the disk. I was able to click through to select the drive I wanted, then my hard drive didn't show up as a possible selection. Yet ANOTHER C key restart, and this time it showed up.
    Went through the first loading screen, where it is checking permissions, and everything's fine, but when I get to the installation process, it tells me there is an error with my perimeters, and I should restart and try again. Did this again, and I had to start over from square one.
    I tried just a normal restart after three or four attempts at an installation, and now, whenever I load it without C depressed, a grey box shows up in the middle of my screen with an image of the globe on it, and it flashes. Nothing else loads until I do a restart.
    It's my impression this, obviously, isn't a good sign and I should get in contact with someone who knows what they're doing and can walk me through it and get my computer running again. I thought I'd run it by you guys here before I called Apple, and, hopefully, you guys can help me out/help me better describe my problem. Any help you can give - links to other threads, experiences, what something means, what to tell a technician that I'm looking at/going through, anything at all, will help me tremendously.
    Thanks for your help and time,

    Hey Gary, thanks for the welcome!
    By the time I was able to pull your suggestions off of the form, I had already done a few things to my computer, as per recommended by the Apple site. This article is what I was pulling my steps off of.
    I started at step 4 (Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications") and went through to step 8, semi-step i.
    1 - I tried to start up in safe mode (Shift+Restart) and I logged several kernal panic screens before I even got to the apple insignia on a grey screen.
    2 - I ran Disk Utility several times, and would come up with an error and a notice that the utility had quit. The first time I ran it, I noticed that it had found a lot of Oprhaned indirect iNodes, and by the second time the utility was ran, they no longer showed up in the right pane of the box. The fifth time it ran, it took roughly two hours to complete, and actually went all the way through.
    3 - Still would not load past the grey screen, so I went through and did fsck check a couple of times, and it told me that my machine appeared to be ok. I got all the way through the step where it tells you to run a fsck, then type in a mv Preferences Preferences_old, then did a reboot and let my computer load.
    When it finally did load (the actual boot up and load took about ten minuets, which is about seven minuets slower than normal), it took forever to do any commands that I issued. I went through and backed up all of my files onto my external, and then I went to go follow the rest of the step, and my computer froze up. I decided to save the rest of the procedure for today, when I can find some time.
    The basic thing that I'm concerned about now is that the machine is running exceptionally slow. It loaded Safari and a couple of other applications I'm always in, but it took roughly ten times longer than normal to do anything.
    Since it's recignising the machine and loading into my desktop, I was going to see if I can now do a safe restart and see if I can follow any of the steps that are dictated by the site, but I'm still not certian if that will work. Last time I tried it, I got a kernal panic screen.
    Anything I should try?

  • Safari hangs on launch and cannot be reinstalled

    Safari hangs when I try to launch it. I have tried moving the preferences.plist, the cookies.plist, the history, the downloads and to no avail. I am now trying to install it via the OSX install disc 1 that came with the computer. When I try to the optional installs, the installer loads but I cannot click on any of the options for safari to install. Can anyone shed some light?

    You don't need to reinstall Safari; more than likely there's nothing wrong with it. Something else is causing your problem, so we need to figure out what that is and resolve it. Don't be so quick to delete something just because it's not working as it should; that's the path to serious trouble.
    Perhaps you should first try removing the cache files from Home/Library/Caches/Safari, then try restarting Safari.

    Since an update of Firefox (I don't know which one) I am unable to print maps and other online website documents. The maps comes up onscreen with no difficulty but when I choose "print map" the "print preview" and the actual print is blank. In the past the system printed everything with no difficulty. If I access the Internet with Explorer I can print with no problems.
