Two MAJOR Safari 6 issues...

First is the "Search Google Or Enter An Address" bar, before if I wanted to go to Walmart.com all I would have to do is type Walmart and Safari would add the ".com" for me. Now if I just type Walmart it will Google search for Walmart instead of taking me to their website, this is crummy, more unnecessary finger clicking, And I'm too lazy to type ".com."
The second issue is that JavaScript is disabled even though I have it enabled in the preferences. I was on the phone with AppleCare for an hour and they cannot figure out why that is the case. JavaScript is not working on any of the JavaScript websites. Enabled is fully checked, Java is fully checked and it is still not working. Give me Safari five back dammit!

Yes, it's very upsetting to not easily be able to double-click on the url for your search and send it. I do that quite often with image searches.
The work-around is to use the command-shift-i "Send an email of this link" option, and copy and paste the previously hidden URL anywhere you want it... But this is all unnecessary legwork added for no really good reason.
This is only one of a few issues I'm finding (others include 1) not being able to use the search field as a quick 'spell checker' like 1Sidekick did as well, and 2) no apparent way to show my previous Google searches via the triangular pull-down like before).
I think a great solution to some of the other issues I'm having would be to return the ability to add the search field to the Toolbar - the first thing I did was go to 'Customize Toolbar' and see if I could return the 'Google field' to its nest in the right corner. No luck. But that would return some functionality to Safari, although it won't solve the issue I have with not being able to see the search's URL like before.
This is actually part of a much larger problem I see happening at Apple, and I don't know what to do about it other than complain. There are changes being done that really have no purpose, other that for change itself, and these changes are adding more steps to things that previously could be accomplished in one or two steps. The 'Save As' debacle not working is another one of these things that just doesn't make sense.
Look at Linc's solution:
1. Enter "walmart" and then select Go to site "walmart" from the drop-down menu.
Wait now... Why should we have to then select anything from a drop-down menu when it did it without another step before? 'Go to site "xxx" isn't the default action when I hit return, and it's at the bottom of a list that varies in length depending on your search, so it's not even a consistant distance from the field where your cursor is! Terrible UI, guys! Placing it at the top of the list might have lessened the harrassment, but the bottom? You have to move your mouse or finger when previously you could simply hit 'return' and it knew what I wanted to do.
I've been using Apple OSes since the Apple II, the first Mac, multifinder, Systems 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and all versions of 10 since 10.1. I'm mildly "power user-ish" but I'm not against simplification when it's done correctly. I'm on board. But these new changes that actually add more steps are worthless. It goes against the ideas Apple has stood for for decades. It's frustrating and I don't know where I'm going to go if this gets worse over the next several years.

IOS 8.2 on iPhone 4S - (major) Safari issue?

Hi everyone,
after getting pretty excited while watching the Keynote earlier today, I think I made a big mistake updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.2 immediately after release as I have a major issue with Safari now - I will try to explain:
It will take Safari several minutes to load even the most simple website (google) on the first try. If not interrupted during this time, the website will eventually load and after that Safari is as fast as it should be when opening other websites, tabs or using the address bar to search. After closing Safari - and re opening it will again, load any given site (tried NYTimes, WSJ, google, Highsnobiety, Selectism, gmail) painfully slow and after that, again work as fast as it should be.
If Safari is interrupted during this first opening of a site, it will freeze and finally shut down.
What it also kinda funny: If a site like nytimes.com has a re-deriction, to mobile.nytimes.com in this instance - Safari will notice that immediately/as fast as it should, but then takes minutes to load the site.
Internet connection via W-Lan or mobile works at the desired speed, as do apps like Mail, NYTimes, WSJ i.e.
What I tried so far:
Shut down phone and restarted - didn't help.
Reseted phone - didn't help.
What I could do:
Make a clean iOS 8.2 install ("new iPhone")
Recover from Backup.
Since it is Tuesday (10.03.2015) at 02:20 AM where I am located, I'm not really in the mood to completely restore my phone (that I need) anew right now. I will see if there will be a 8.2.1 to fix this rather soon and keep Safari opened in background, or if I will have to put up with configuring my iPhone anew in the coming week...
Greetings and thank you very much for any input you might have.
Oliver

Thank you very much for bringing that up jakefsf!
Although I didn't mess with the DNS servers in my settings in first place, I figured it couldn't hurt to try to change it - and I was right, Safari works (for) now - as it should - every-time.
What I did: I changed the DNS Server's address from my original address to 8.8.8.8 (google's DNS server) - after that Safari worked like a charm. I changed back to the original address, Safari still works like a charm. So I guess something got clogged/*whatever* - and that "playing" with the addresses removed it.
(I forgot to mention in my original post, that I too tried to delete the cache and stuff - but that didn't do the trick.)
So I guess either the Update caused the "clogging" or my Router/ISP (Which I doubt, because everything was fine on my MacBook Air - using the same Router/W-Lan) - thankfully I'm fine now with a fully operational phone.
Thank you very much for bringing this very helpful solution jakefsf!!
@jimdouglas, It can't hurt if you try to do the same. Settings -> WiFi -> tap on the circled i behind the WiFi you're using, and change the DNS Server's address to 8.8.8.8 - see if Safari works. If it does, you can go back to the settings, remove 8.8.8.8 (leave it blank) it will automatically get the address back from your router - if it still works, it did the trick.
Greetings,
Oliver

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues. The screen is very slow to respond. When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on. I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off. It is very, very frustrating. The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly. I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues. They tell me to do different things that never help. We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues. Help! It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract. Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

I have done that several times. In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly. I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time. It never does. After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying. I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not. I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine. I know I got a bad phone. Verizon just does not listen. It is a bad phone. I just want a new phone that works properly. Is that too much to ask? I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one. Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this? It shouldn't be this difficult! Help please!!!

Help needed urgently with two major Logic 9 issues

Dear all,
We've recently migrated from Logic 7 to 9 and have a major album project to finish using a fairly modest tracking setup. We've encountered two major issues that are holding up progress and wondered if anyone here has experienced them and has a solution..?
Our set up is an early 2009 2.93GHz 17" unibody Macbook Pro with a Motu 828mkII Firewire interface. We also have a motu microlite for extra midi.
Firstly, we're trying to track drums from an Elektron MachineDrum. With Logic 7 the MachineDrum's transport controls would control Logic's transport automatically so that we had a clear sync when tracking and could edit sounds and patterns on plus control Logic's transport from the MachineDrum. It also meant that we could drop in parts from song based sequences (of multiple patterns) in the correct position as song pointer information was also received. In the midi synch settings it would automayically jump to "midi clock". In Logic 9 it seems the Midi clock option is gone entirely.
We've also tried with an Elektron MonoMachine and have exactly the same problem. This all worked automatically in Logic 7. These machines have excellent sequencers and are very hands on so it makes it preferable to do it this way. We've spent the afternoon trying to replicate the behaviour of Logic 7 with no joy at all. I should say that Logic is receiving midi information but is not responding to the transport controls. Has this midi clock feature been removed entirely..? It will be a huge disappointment if this vital functionality has been removed as it's crucial to the way we write, sequence and record.
Does anyone have a solution..?
Secondly, there seems to be a major bug with Logic 9 and we frequently have to quit and reboot to overcome it. Namely, certain actions reduce the audio to metal machine noise/ digital breakup bearing no resemblance to what we've recorded. This includes opening two projects simultaneously, dragging any audio from the media bin to the arrange, editing a marker in the list window etc. This has happened about twenty times today doing some light work on a project. We also noticed this intermittently when doing some vocal tracking on Logic 8 at a friends studio.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's a nightmare and means we won't be able to use it reliably live either. Does anyone have a solution?
Many thanks for taking the time to consider this,
JH

Having tried to sync Logic to my LinnDrum back in Logic 7, I can see why they removed it.
It was hideously catastrophic and caused me ages of grief, as the function only really makes sense for MIDI/trigger sequencing.
As I remember it works perfectly well with MIDI only, which is what it was designed for. I've synced Logic via MIDI from a second computer for 20-30 minutes with absolutely no sync problems or drift.
yes, that worked fine.
But then turning around and trying to sync +something else+ to that recording.
Logic never could record tempo variation as a continuous stream, as an analogue tape machine would record a sync signal, so the stepping would inevitably lead to increasing loss of sync, loss of hair, and the desire to break things.
I eventually just set aside that function, with the intention if revisiting in a later, hopefully fixed, version.
And whaddaya know - they fixed it good.

Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

hey there
every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ? thanx !!

You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.

When opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

Two major issues

Hello,
We experience two major issues with audio streams. I have
searched this forum and have seen a couple of posts with almost the
same problem. We use an audio broadcast in real time.
1. Delay. When an audio channel gets open and the Encoder
starts streaming everything is fine on the surface. As the time
goes by we notice a delay and the delay gets bigger and bigger. Our
network is fine, the latency between the encoder and FMS is less
than 1 ms. The delay is totaly random. It could not show up for a
day and it could show up within minutes. The only way to fix it is
to restart the channel on the client side (just reset NetStream
object on the client side). Restarting the Encoder also helps.
2. No audio at all after a prolonged usage of Encoder. Here
is the situation. I leave the office and leave the Encoder
streaming into FMS and several clients connected to the channel. I
step into the office next morning and my employees say to me that
they don't here any audio. I take a look at FMS and see the the
stream is still being published and clients are connected. But
there is NO audio at all. I confirm it with 100 percent since I can
see a green audio indicator jumping up and down as the Encoder is
getting audio data from the sound card but the clients do not hear
anything. The fix : restart the channel on the Encoder side.
I have been getting some help from Adobe customer support but
none of that fixed the problems. I would appreciate greatly if
anyone have (had) the similar issues and share how you fixed them.
Thanks a lot

I just installed a new build of the Encoder. I will let you
know if the problem still exist on Friday.

Two Macbooks, same spec, yet one has major connectivity issues

Hi,
I have two (old - 2006) macbooks, bought at exactly the same time, exactly the same spec, probably off the same factory line. Yet one has serious Airport issues which are proving very difficult.
It will pick up a maximum of one wireless network, which it barely is able to connect to. There are 3 wireless networks in this house yet it only picks up the nearest one. The other macbook can pick up at least 15 other networks despite being exactly the same spec and on the desk next to it.
Even when it connects to my network, connections are frequently dropped - over 50% packet loss generally.
Both are running the same OS and are exactly the same spec. I have tried resetting the PRAM, deleting the airport prefs, resetting the SMC; you name it I've tried it. I noticed that this is quite a common issue with Snow Leopard + Airport, but I am now thinking it could be a faulty Airport card. Could this be the case?

You already mentioned that you thought that "it could be a faulty AirPort card". I agreed and offered another possibility as well.
Whether or not you are using Snow Leopard, if you have a faulty wireless card or a faulty antenna connector, you will most certainly have major connectivity issues.
You've already performed all the standard troubleshooting steps and mentioned that you felt it may be a hardware issue.
If you have changed your mind and feel that it's a Snow Leopard issue, (logic would dictate that it would have also affected your other identical computer the same way) you have the option of reinstalling the operating system to see if that might help.

[Possible] Major Privacy Issue in Safari 5 - URL Autofill

From what I read on the Apple site, the URL autofill compares what you type to your history. However even if you delete your history, the autofill still comes up with sites that you visited in the past. If I delete my history, where is this info coming from? Seems to me that this is a MAJOR security issue if you're not the only person using the computer.
EDIT: Im seeing all sorts of random URLs popping up in the URL window when I type random letters. Is the URL bar also being used as a web search? (And if so, which search engine does it use for this?) I was under the impression it was only searching your history.
At first I thought these random sites being suggested were sites I have visited in the past and forgotten about... in fact a lot of them seem like sites I would have visited.
Its just so odd how random the results seem. Not just front pages come up, but pages a few levels deep on any given website. Strange thing this is to me.
Message was edited by: Frozo

I'm hoping someone will figure out a way to disable the URL history suggestions. It's totally annoying. I'm used to typing in the first few letters of a bookmarked web page to jump to it quickly. Now if I type some letters, I'm inundated with suggestions from keywords in my history, while the actual URL I'm trying to get to is buried beneath a list of other pages that have nothing to do with the page I'm trying to visit. Totally frustrating. Maybe it's good for some, but a way to turn it off is a must.

Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

Hi,
I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times. I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond. If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

The performance issues are due to third party software. Mavericks at the minimum requires 2GB's of RAM but I don't think that's the issue. And you can upgrade RAM anytime.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested. But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism. Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all. Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process. I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

Safari issues being posted lately?

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed there seems to be an increase of Safari issues with malware. Is there something leading to this? Maybe a common website breached? Just curious. But more to educate myself
FOR the record, I love Safari. It's my favorite browser!

Major reason is that there are more and more adware injecting sites nowadays.
Major Mac publications promote useless applications like MacKeeper to increase revenue.

System Preferences and Safari issues

Hi I have a very concerning issue with system preferences and a smaller issue with Safari (7.0). When I open system preferences and navigate to the "internet accounts" page and try to remove an account or click the "Advanced" button, nothing happens. I see a faint flicker of the system prefs window but nothing changes. Another example is when I click on the "networks" page and try and open the "Advanced" window, nothing happens. I also can't sign out of iCloud or view my iCloud account information the buttons seem to do nothing. I've already tried installing mavericks again, deleting appropriate plists, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repairing the disk and repairing disk permissions to no avail and I really need to find a solution. If this helps, the guest account does not have any issues described above. The safari issue is minor but when Safari opens, there is a gray box around the page title in the top bar of safari no matter what webpage im on. I have tried resetting safari, deleting caches and extensions but nothing works. I really appreciate any help with these issues.
Here is an example of the Safari issue.

Do you have the installer DVD? If you do:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the OS X Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

Two video cards issue

Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?

Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.
