Safari not playing nice with extensions, etc. since doing a "Reset Safari"

So Safari's been giving me beachball a lot — dozens of times a day — sometimes just a few seconds, sometimes a minute or more, even on simple tasks like closing a tab, or scrolling (especially on a page with several images).
I finally decided to try Reset Safari to see if I could kick it back into shape. While the performance has improved slightly, now I'm having other problems:
- To open Preferences with a key command, I have to hit CMD+[comma] twice. The Safari menu flashes the first time, but nothing happens.
- During some sessions — usually when Safari takes longer than it should (30+ seconds) to launch — several preferences I've added are missing: Safari Cookies, Safari AdBlock, and SafariSource.
- Even when those added prefs do appear, I cannot reach Safari Cookies at first. I click on it, and it's highlighted in the preferences toolbar, but the pane doesn't change. I have to click on another extension, then click back to Safari Cookies to see the actual pane.
- When I can reach the Safari Cookies pane, it doesn't work. Resetting Safari killed my Favorite Cookies list (arrrggghh!), but now no cookies are shown at all, ever, in Safari Cookies. (I uninstalled and reinstalled, and that didn't help. In fact, it made it worse, as now Safari Cookies says it's version number is 0.0.0.0 instead of 1.6.4).
- I already chucked com.apple.Safari.plist. No dice.
I'm stumped. Looking for help.

Hi,
several preferences I've added are missing: Safari Cookies, Safari AdBlock, and SafariSource.
Many Safari users have reported problems using Safari Adblock. In fact, it's been the cause of Safari crashes. You can view the results of a forum search here.
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=f876&search=Go&q=safari+adblock
To remove that plugin go to /Library/InputManagers. Move the Adblock plugin to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and try Safari.
Get GlimmerBlocker. Compatible with Snow Leopard and Safari 5 and it's free.

If you still have problems with Safari after removing AdBlock, then uninstall SafariSource. That could be another source of the "beach balls"...

  • PixelsPerPx does not play nice with customizing the Toolbar.

    I have a MacBook Pro and the screen has a very high number of pixels per cm^2. The screen is great, but the high pixel density often makes website text very small and hard to read.
    So, I used about:config to edit <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx>. Setting it to 1.1 or 1.2 "dumbs down" the resolution, but it makes things readable again. This is a great option - please consider adding it to Preferences or otherwise making it easy to use.
    Here is the problem: when I try to customize my toolbar (View > Toolbars > Customize), Firefox crashes.
    If I reset <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx> to 1.0, then I can customize my toolbar with no crashing. Apparently the PixelsPerPx option seriously conflicts with View > Toolbars > Customize.

  • TS3899 Yahoo Mail is not "playing nice" with my iPhone 4S.

    I have tried everything including deleting my account and re-adding it.  Since yesterday, I am unable to send or receive messages from my yahoo account only when on the iPhone.  When I deleted the account it I received a message stating that I could "save" the account but would not be able to send/recieve from it.  What is going on with Yahoo!:iPhone??????????  I REALLY need this working!

    Yahoo has hundreds of mail servers. Trust me on this. The problem is Yahoo. Just because you can acces it from a web browser or in a client on your PC does not mean that you're hitting the same server you do with the phone.
    Your phone doesn't care what your password is. If it's being rejected, it's being rejected by the server you happen to be communicating with.
    All you can do is try removing and re-adding the account and waiting until it clears up.
    While you wait, set up a free gmail or iCloud e-mail account.

  • 3D games (Minecraft) not playing nice with Nouveau or Nvidia-304xx

    New to minecraft and 3d gaming on linux, got it up and running. With the nvidia-304xx driver, I can play a few minutes then it spikes the processor and I only get 0-3 fps (before it spikes I get 60-70). I tried various in game settings, from full graphics to minimal and nearly every thing in between. Read the wiki and it stated there were some issues with the driver and to update the LWJGL or just switch to nouveau. Updated the game libraries and had the same effect, switched to nouveau and it would crash after world selection. I found an old forum were they launched the game as sudo, thought I would give it a whirl, and it does launch. I am in the video and games group, so I don't know why there would be a permissions issue. Minecraft is the only game I play on this computer and would prefer to have nouveau working. Any help would be appreciated

    System is a corei7 i920 with 6GB ram (desktop). Graphics card is the oldest thing in there but don't really play many games. Runs torchlight and psychonauts on full graphics with no issue. I did try updating to 1.5 prerelease since my original post to see if that would help (didn't). I noticed that the nvidia-304xx has an updated version in testing repo that I am going to try once I get a chance. It does seem that the higher I turn the graphics the faster it hits, so my current settings will give me about 10-15mins before dropping to 0-3 fps, full graphics gives me 30sec-2min, and every thing off gives me about 30min (but at that point all aesthetics are lost and isn't as fun to play)

  • HP laserjet P2035 on airport express not playing nice with Windows

    I recently bought a new HP laserjet P2035 and hooked it up to my network via the usb connector on an airport express 802.11n. The Airport Express extends my network created on an Airport extreme 802.11n dualband.
    I have a MBP 13 and it prints fine. The problem I have is with two PC's. I installed Bonjour on both of them (one on Vista and another one on XP) and they started to print fine. The next day, only my Mac was able to print. Nothing changed whatsoever. Only that I turned off the printer for the night.
    I checked and both Windows machines and the printers appear just like they did the day before.
    Any ideas?

    Anybody?

  • Apple Mail in 10.8.2 not playing nice with MS Office 2011

    After upgrading to 10.8 I am having some issues opening MS Office attachments in Apple Mail.  When I click on any Word, Excel, or Power Point attachment I dialog box pops up stating "The attachment could not be opened....."  I can choose which application to use to open the document, cancel or save.  When attempting to choose the application, Office application are not available.  The only way to open the attachments are to save them and open from the saved location or through the application itself.
    Anyone running in to this issue or have an idea on how to sync up Mail and Office?
    Thanks!

    One thing springs to mind....
    Had you previously moved the folder "Microsoft Office 2011" out of the Apps folder? or moved any of the Apps out of the "MS Office 2011" folder to somewhere else?
    If so, try moving them back.

    Hi,
    Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
    If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
    First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
    After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing Is there a fix for UConnect issue?

    Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing it does is list all the songs alphabetically when connected via USB.

    - Contact the manufacturer/go to their support site.
    - Sometimes this works
    - 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.
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Sometimes and ISO update breaks compatibioity and a firmware update the the dock is required or an iOS update is required.

  • Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

    Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
    I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
    so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
    I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
    Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
    in the way of syncing with a mac:
    The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
    I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
    a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

  • Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

    After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
    Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
    My question:
    ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
    Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?!  (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
    ARGGGH!
    ** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
    At the risk of repeating myself ...  ARGGGH!

    Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
    Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
    Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
    Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

  • Make Illustrator play nice with OS X Spaces, eh?

    Hey Mr & Mrs Adobe --
    Can you pretty please make your apps play nice with OS X Spaces? It's only been around since October 2007. I'm tired of having documents in two different spaces.  k'thanks.

    While I don't believe this discussion belongs here (try Feature Requests, next time), I think Adobe is not completely innocent here. Spaces is a feature of the OS that's been around for two years, and that Adobe has had access to for even longer. Other companies with fewer resources than Adobe, and without developer seeds, were able to support Spaces from day 1. Even programs released before Leopard usually work with it.
    Adobe has proven that they do not care about Mac OS conventions or about fully supporting the Macintosh OS. For the amount of money they charge for their programs and upgrades (which are often little more than bug fixes that should be no charge) it is not asking too much for support of basic OS features.

  • Vista & iTunes Do Not Play Nice Together

    I was recently forced to upgrade to Vista due to a computer crash. I loaded iTunes ver.7.1.1.5 (latest) and all my music etc. from my backup drive. Everything worked fine until i tried to sync my 5G 80gig video iPod. Every time I connect it Vista blue screens and I have to reboot both. I've tried everything i can think of and I've searched forums all over the globe and everybody says the same thing, 'yep, it's a problem, but there is no fix'. I've heard that there is supposed to be an iPod update coming out, but I don't see how that will help me because as soon as I dock Vista crashes....ARGHHH!!! This is ridiculous. Both Microsoft and Apple had to know that this was a problem so why would they release Vista when it doesn't work with the largest digital music service in the world. In the mean time my iPod is empty and I'm developing a severe case of road rage having to listen to the jerks on the radio. Oh but wait, there’s more! The video playback through iTunes (and QuickTime) is unwatchable. It just freeze frames while the sound runs perfectly so now I am unable to watch the season finale of Heros. Okay, enough poor me. Does anybody know anything about either of these problems? I know I'm not alone. Any advice or just moral support would be great. I should have bought a Zune. Oh god I didn't just say that....that's blasphemy.

    OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
    Let me know if this works for everyone else.
