Safari stops responding when I try to bookmark (and other slow problems!)
Two weeks ago my logicboard died, so I sent my ibook out to Apple for it to be fixed. Ever since I got it back this past Tuesday, my Safari has been extremely slow, but nothing else is wrong with my computer. Here are the problems:
- The biggest issue is that Safari stops responding when I try to make a bookmark. The popup appears to select the bookmark's destination and to enter the name, but when you hit ok, the rainbow wheel comes up and it stops responding, so I have to reset Safari, and now I can't make new bookmarks at all.
- It lags when it tries to open new windows, especially new tabs.
- If a new page loads that scrolls at all, and then I try to scroll down, the wheel appears for several seconds until it can load the rest of the page. It's as though it gets stuck before it can scroll.
- Sometimes when typing, it will also start to lag behind my typing speed, or if I try to click on a new field, it will not immediately allow me to type on occasion.
All these things have never happened before I sent it out. I have reset my cache, and I have tried entering the open DNS addresses in my networks, which has improved loading speed, but hasn't fixed any of these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I can fix anything?

Try verifying the hard disk.
Boot from your restore disk while holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the C key. You'll see an Installation window, select English. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. If Disk Utility cannot repair the disk you have several options. One is DiskWarrior or
TechToolPro If Disk Utility can repair any errors, go back to the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
If you don't have a restore disk, try booting into Safe Mode

I have tried resting Firefox and even sacrificed all my data (bookmarks, add-ons, saved passwords, the whole shebang) for a clean installation. Firefox Stared hanging and doing the "(Not Responding)" thing with a whited-out window. Thus force me to force close Firefox.
This happened as soon as I updated my computer (running Windows 7) and the Task manager is show high usage of processes. All my other browsers work (Chrome, Safari, and even the god forsaken IE) don't hang when trying to leave the home page, browse fine, and close and reopen perfectly.
Needless to say, I'm annoyed with this development.''Sashoto Seeam [[#answer-689162|said]]''
<blockquote>
Did you try the minimize memory usage. If not then try it by following method:
- On your navigation bar of Firefox write about:memory
- Click on the button "Minimize memory usage"
Hope it will work!
</blockquote>
Unfortunately, I can't even use the navigation bar without triggering the high process usage thing. So this is not an option.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Tried this stuff as well. Turned Norton off and it didn't work. Restarted my computer with Norton off, still didn't work. And Firefox didn't wok after I turned Norton back on. Safe mode also doesn't work. -
IPhoto 6.0.3 Stops Responding When I Try to Edit, Except . . .
. . . when I set it to edit in Full Screen or via an outside like like PS.
By going in to Preferences I can set it to edit when I double-click an image with different actions via:
In Main Window: Stops Responding
In Separate Window: Stops Responding
Using Full Screen: Works
In (other app): Works
The same applies when right-clicking and image and selecting Editing methods from the menu.
I have rebooted, used "Rebuild Photo Library" dialog to rebuild the thumbs and images in iPhoto's library. I have repaired disk permissions, run MacJanitor and rebooted again.
I have not reinstalled iPhoto 6.0.3.
I have seen numerous references to identical issues here and elsewhere on the 'net on OS X troubleshooting boards.
I have about 9500 images in my library. There was a difference this time in how I acquired the new images I'm working with. Normally I import images into my Picture folder using Image Capture from my Nikon D70. The files are all JPEGs about 2-3.5MB each. This time I imported them into my wife's Dell laptop using the Windows Image Capture import (not sure what they call it) and then when home, I connected the Dell up to my network and dragged the folder into my Mac's Picture folder, then imported the images into iPhoto by dragging them.
Otherwise they appear to be identical in permission, file type and metadata. And the freezes occur when trying to edit the new Dell-drags or old, directly-imported D70 files.
JoeLHi Dave,
And thanks for taking the time to respond.
This is what Console is telling me when I first open iPhoto:

Then I clear the above and try to "Edit" a photo:
Zero, zip, nada, iPhoto just stops responding. OK, so I restart iPhoto and try "Edit in Separate Window and Console says:
===== Monday, June 5, 2006 4:43:02 PM US/Eastern =====
2006-06-05 16:43:09.755 iPhoto[241] Could not find image named 'zoom-downN'.
2006-06-05 16:43:09.778 iPhoto[241] Could not find image named 'zoom-downH'.
2006-06-05 16:43:09.801 iPhoto[241] Could not find image named 'zoom-upN'.
2006-06-05 16:43:09.824 iPhoto[241] Could not find image named 'zoom-upH'.
(and of course, it iPhoto stops responding.
"Edit in Full Screen" and "Edit in External Editor" both work fine and result in no Console responses.
So now let's try "Slideshow" and this is the Console response when I select two images and click "Slideshow":
===== Monday, June 5, 2006 4:50:07 PM US/Eastern =====
2006-06-05 16:50:10.545 iPhoto[251] Could not find image named 'tools-switchLeft-N'.

2006-06-05 16:50:10.593 iPhoto[251] Could not find image named 'tools-checkboxOff-N'.
2006-06-05 16:50:10.616 iPhoto[251] Could not find image named 'tools-checkboxOff-P'.
(and of course iPhoto freezes)
So the main culprits are "Edit", "Edit in Separate Window" and "Slideshow" while "Edit in Full Screen" and "Edit in External Editor" both work fine as do the other controls such as "Rotate", "Edit" (the "edit" button at the bottom of the viewer window which opens the "Edit in Full Screen" function), "Card", "Calendar", "Book", "Email", "Order Prints", "iWeb", "Photocast" and "Play" which all work every time.
I have since reinstalled the combined OS X 10.4.6 updater, the iPhoto 6.0.3 updater, booted into Safe Mode and tried all of the above (identical results) and unmounted all volumes except the OS volume and tried everything (same result). I also deleted all of the images that I imported from my wife's Dell machine and emptied the trash and then restarted.
I tried the suggestion of checking permissions of image files, but permissions are all correct.
I have no idea where to head next with this.

Thunderbird stops "responding" when I try to enter a password why? this is new today.
As of this afternoon Thunderbird stops responding when I attempt to enter a password. The accounts have been working for years with thunderbird until today. I can open thunderbird in "safe" mode but that is not useful since plugins are disabled.
I ended up removing v 1.0.1 of "Provider for Google Calendar" plugin; installing v 0.25, then re-setup the Google calendar
These instructions are where I found the different location link to use while setting up the calendar in thunderbird/lightning.
https://sites.google.com/a/tc.columbia.edu/tcapps2/home/how-to/accessing-email-and-calendar-with-thunderbird
The gmail calendar location prior to today was linked to a "googleapi://... .../?calendar=email address... etc." link.
After I added the new gmail calendar to thunderbird the location link is to "https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/... etc."

Programs stop responding when I try to print to PDF
Info on what I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
Using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version 8.1.0, up to date on updates
In this example, Microsoft Office 2007, no add-ons besides the Adobe Acrobat add-in that allows the creation of a PDF (but happens in all programs)
Problem:
I have always created a PDF from a Word/Excel document by printing to PDF (File --> Print --> Select Adobe PDF as printer --> Hit OK). Generally, the next step that occurs is a dialog box appearing that prompts me to select the location where I want to save the PDF and to specify a file name. Several weeks ago, this process stopped working. Now when I hit "Ok" to print to PDF, no dialog box appears and whatever program I'm in freezes/stops responding. Aside: I have tried printing to PDF from several other programs to see if the problem occurs in those as well, and it does -- printing to PDF freezes whatever program I am attempting to print from. (For example, MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Firefox, even Notepad)
Bullet point summary of what I have tried:
Canceling the print jobs in the Adobe PDF printer under "Devices and Printers" (jobs say they are canceling but never clear from the print queue unless I go into Services and restart my print spooler) and reprinting (freezes again)
Restarting computer (had no effect)
Setting Adobe PDF as my default printer (had no effect)
Setting TrueType font as "Native TrueType" under the Adobe PDF printer properties (Layout --> Advanced --> PostScript Options) (suggested in another thread I read about this problem; had no effect)
Checking to make sure that Word had not "adjusted" the security settings for the Adobe add-in (disabling it) under the Trust Center (Adobe add-in was still enabled, so nothing to change there)
Changing the printer properties to print directly to the printer rather than spooling first (had no effect)
Saving as PDF using File --> Save As --> Selecting PDF as file type (does work and is an acceptable substitute except when I need to convert multiple files to PDF at once and don't have time to go in to each individual file and convert it separately)
Repairing the Acrobat installation from within Adobe or from the Programs and Features menu under the Control Panel (does work, did fix the problem; but see followup below).
Repairing the Acrobat installation worked when I did it a few weeks ago. Once I went through the process, I attempted to print a document to PDF and it worked. But this morning when I attempted to print another document to PDF, it froze Word again and has been doing that ever since, so it does not seem to be a permanent fix. I had succesfully printed several documents to PDF this morning before it stopped working; the document I printed to PDF immediately before the document that froze was the exact same as the document froze in every way except the actual text (formatting, document objects, etc.). So I don't think it was something in the content of the document that "broke" the Adobe PDF printer.
I am sure I can try repairing the Adobe installation again, but I really do not want to have to do that all of the time. Does anyone know what the problem is? I haven't found anything that explains what's going on.Anyone?

First, let me say I have the latest version of Firefox and Adobe Flash Player and Java Script. When I click to play Words With Friends (on pc) my computer starts racing and sounds loud and every thing freezes. If I try to click on slider or anything else, it says Mozilla Firefox (not responding), then it takes several minutes and a box pops up that says something about a script, do I want to continue or ?(I can't remember), after I click continue, I can play the game, but, at any given time Firefox will stop responding again!! A box also pops up from AVG saying that Firefox is using too much memory. Just an aside, I can play Scrabble on Facebook without any problems whatsoever. Please help, it is driving me crazy. Thanks
Sounds that you are missing the plugin that is used to play those videos embedded in Firefox.<br />
Your system details list doesn't show any media player plugin, so you will either have to check if the plugin(s) are installed, but disabled or install missing plugins.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Popular+plugins
You may need the new WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll) because Flash always uses a dedicated player to play the videos and would never offer to save videos directly unless an extension is used.

Adobe X stops responding when I try to scan

DavidHi Ankit
Thanks for the reply.
1. Yes we are in a citrix envirnment, also using Appsense if that's of any use?
2. We can't get into neither print or preferences
3. We've just installed in now with other updates and now testing thank you
"I've noticed that on the users and the terminals setting under edit-preferences when it's working the protection is ticked."
Sorry that doesn't sound clear to me either when reading it back to myself. In the prefernces when we initially reinstall it and it temperarily works the box for Protection is ticked on ther terminal server, and for a user when they log under there profile and look in preferences. It's only when the terminal server is rebooted that Abode messes up again and we have to re install.
I've just read that installing 10.1.3 has helped someone one so i'll also try that now

Firefox stops responding when I try to clear my cookies-or it just does nothing.
Yesterday, I tried to clear my cookies-for security-I clicked on the 'clear' button and then I got the spinner thing. It then went to 'firefox is not responding'. One time-yesterday-when I clicked clear-it returned to the original 'clear cookies' screen-but I checked. It hadn't cleared anything. I was also getting the 'bad script' thing. I ran my anti-virus. Things were fine.
Didn't work. My cookies still haven't been cleared and I got a 'not responding' message when I tried to return to a prior screen.

Safari stops responding arter using reading list.
I had a problem with my computer today. My iMac 2012 haven't been launching. After desctop shows of earlier everything have been shuting down and I could see the screen like Kernel Panic, but with the message "there was a problem...press a key or wait", smt like this. then everything repeats and it was a completed circle. I fixed it by restore the rights of access in Recovery HD (arter screen is on, press Option, choose Recovery HD, Launch Disc Utility, etc.).
I know that in every strange situation keep calm and restore the rights of access.
But now my problem is smaller that the previous one. Wnen I try to open any page from Reading List, Safari stops responding to any of my actions and the only way to fix it is shut Safari down from System Monitoring or Dock.
How can I fix it?
P.S. Apple, my first problem is a very big stone to your garden. I know what to do in this kind of problems, but the others don't. I live in Russia (so sorry about my bad English) and I don't have Apple Stores where I can get professional support.
I wish you fixed it in new Mavericks update.I don't know what it was, but now evertything is OK, I can again use the Reading List without any problems.
