Any successful fix for Safari? Desperate now.

Like a lot of others I have been experiencing massive slowness with Safari for the last week +. I think that it got worse after a Safari update. Safari is virtually unusable and the problem seems to have effected IE too. I tried reinstalling the previous version of Safari, but this doesn't seem to have changed anything.
Has anyone figured out how to deal with this? If you have, please share it with those of us who are still suffering. Thanks.

I'll join in the complaining. I only use Safari (1.3.1) and it's been slow - slow to start & slow to load pages. It's also eating up all my CPU at times, even when it's just sitting there while I'm reading a page. My poor little Mac Mini's fan starts going full bore to keep the CPU cool - using Safari! Who'da thunk?!
After skimming through posts I've turned Java off in the Prefs and deleted the 'Safari icons' folder. Deleting icons helped with launching time. Java off helps with page loading, but I need that on.
I checked IE to see if the problem was consistent across browsers and sure enough, Activity Monitor shows IE using TONS of CPU power... anyone have a clue what the deal is? This just started happening in the last few weeks.

From what i understand i see that - Cookies are not transferred between your website and your webapp when installing the icon on the home screen (for authentication purposes for example). It was working until 6.1 and now it’s not working anymore.
Can someone please tell me if this bug will be fixed in any future release, if so the ticket number of some kind that i can track, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Welcome to the Club! Got the same Problem and had a really hard time reaching the Customer Support because they were down due to maitenance! Just wrote to their experts chat and hope to get an answer in this life!
I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? Printing with Magenta overlays.

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? When printing the iphone at www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ the phones have a Magenta Overlay on them. Tried Firefox and Chrome with same computer, plus a PC to the same printer. All else prints fine. Have Intel based iMac, updated to 10.7.5, and using Safari 6.0.1. I called Canon, and they said it is an issue with Safari. Any Solutions? Any way of replacing Safari? (Recently updated to Lion via software downloads. No disc.)

Welcome to Apple....
Kumusta Ka? Ma init pa dyan?
If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.

After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

Try to reset the iPod by pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

I bought an iphone 4s from Gamestop in California and I didn't get any icloud info for it. Now I am stuck in the activation screen, any suggestions (no jailbreak)?

Any fix for Safari Web Content 100% cpu?

Last I checked, the only fix for this was to restart the browser. Of course, it eventually comes back. My cpu stays between about 75% to 99% because of Safari Web Content process.
Besides restarting the browser, has any one run across a fix for it?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Fix for Safari 5 hanging up with loading pages

After reading the other extensive threads on this topic, one of the articles linked in those threads that helped me the most is found here... http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
The solution appears to be the DNS problem for many new Safari 5 users (if not most). The article linked above demystified DNS for me. I added the OpenDNS numbers in the windows entitled "DNS Server" at System Preferences > Network. Safari 5 on my computer now works at lightning speed. The added benefit to doing this is that it is much faster than my previous DNS servers, and it is more secure.
I hope that Apple will spread the word about this simple and fast solution, because many Safari 5 users are very frustrated right now.

I also have problem with hanging up freezing up and all the above and actually Safari 5 made my entire computer inclosing other browsers I use very slow now,
so I hope Apple come up with a fast fix for this soon because a lot of people have problems I have three laptops in my family my kids tonight said they have the same exact problem as far as using the DNS that you were talking about I'm afraid that I would run into some security issues I am not sure if it is something Apple would also suggest to all the people that are having this problem. I have not seen any feedback yet on open DNS

Fix for safari 5.1.5 crazy memory?

Not really expecting an answer here - though that would be great. Seems pretty obviously a severe Safari 5.1.5 issue that I'm hoping to make higher priority for Apple by posting here.
--> so if this is happening to you please join in
Start Mac (mine:PB17, 10.7.3, 8GB ram, no FlashBack trojan), nothing running but activity monitor. Start Safari (no java, no flash, no extensions). CPU jumps into the 90+% and active memory starts ticking upward at 20MB per second until all ram is used and the system starts swapping and everything slows to a crawl. Also, Safari un-quitable. Only force-quit works, at which point all memory & cpu use goes back to normal.
Does all this with java and extensions enabled too. And other apps going.

My fix for Safari 5 beach ball, hang, not responding

Hello,
So many people experienced problems with safari after upgraded to S5 and me too! Beach balls, not responding, crash, quitting, hang.. Etc. I tried clearing cache, reset safari, delete .plst, uninstall/reinstall safari all yield to similar problem.
Here's what i have done to fix mine.
For slow internet try to change your DNS to:
*Google DNS*
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
*Level3 Com DNS*
4.4.2.1
4.4.2.2
OpenDNS
165.21.100.88
165.21.83.88
For safari frequent beach balls, hang or not responding.
If beach ball occurs,
1) open activity monitor (safari would be in red font and saying that "not responding)
2) Don't quit your safari instead look for flash plugin that is running and try to quit that process.
3) See if beach ball gone, if yes then problem could be your flash plugin.
4) Go to Adobe site and download latest flash and test your Flash (+http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/+)
5)Try to test that macro media shockwave player if it works (+http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/+)
when i test mine it says that it run only in 32 bit mode so i turn my safari in 32bit and it able to display that logo which means its working.
So far i never encounter again beach balls(knock to the wood 3x) for a week of usage
I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
In windows7 machine i encountered internet explorer 64bit some pages also not able to display(but no hang) due to Flash player unable to support 64bit, need to run in 32 bit.
Hope my fix to my MBP can benefit others too...
or any of you out there can give or enlighten more on this issue?

HI,
crash
I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
If it turns out Safari crashes again, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Here's a fix for Safari hanging and taking down the system..

There appears to be a serious bug in Mac OS X's lookupd which can pull the rug right out from under Mac OS X Tiger. While this bug could possibly be triggered in a number of different ways, there has been a recent rash of reports that have been tracked to some mainstream Web sites such as FoxNews.com using links to an adware site js.adsonar.com. This document describes a quick way out of the hang and a simple way to block links to js.adsonar.com from taking down Tiger again. While this doesn't fix the underlying lookupd bug itself, it prevents Mac OS X from hanging, while allowing you to continue using Web sites like FoxNews.com with full Java and JavaScript access enabled.
The symptoms of this problem are as follows:
You're surfing the web and the page you are on fails to completely load.
No further pages will load in your browser.
You can switch to other applications that may already be running and save any open files.
You can no longer launch any additional applications, their icons will bounce in the dock for a while and then they will just stop bouncing.
You can no longer use any other Finder functions.
You can no longer use command-option-escape to force quit.
You can not log out, restart or shut down.
Apparently these symptoms indicate that a low-level component of Mac OS X, lookupd, has hung. Since lookupd is used by many other parts of Mac OS X, it effectively hangs Mac OS X itself.
If this sounds like a problem you are having, try the steps in the following link to fix it.

Hope it helps,

Hi Bee,
There is indeed "such a bug", though you may be fortunate enough to not be affected. Unfortunately MANY others are affected by this. I spent three days helping track this down (many of those 38 posts were while tracking it down in the Tiger discussions) and find a fix to this and thought that others might benefit by my efforts... By the way it's NOT a Safari bug, it happens in any browser, it's a "lookupd" bug which may be triggered by surfing to certain sites which contain links to "js.adsonar.com", which if you have JavaScript enabled can hang lookupd and take down your entire system... consider yourself lucky that it hasn't happened to you...
Here is some background information if you don't believe me:
Apple Discussions: "Fixes" for lookupd Problems, some via Java Updates
Apple Discussions: System unresponsive within the last week
MacFixit Discussions: Progressive Freeze and Network Access under Tiger
MacFixIt Special Report
MacFixit Follow-up: Another fix for system-wide freezes when Web browsing
I only posted this fix to the specific threads where people were having Safari hang, incase it might help them. Forgive me for trying to help them... I thought that was the point of these boards and that was why they started threads about their issues... I'd be willing to bet that this fix will indeed fix many of their problems...
I also posted one additional new topic here on the Safari board and one on the Tiger board for new readers looking for solutions to the same system hangs they may be getting while surfing.
If this fix does indeed help any of you other readers, please post back here so that Bee can indeed see that I'm not just posting here to waste my time...

Why is there no fix for Safari's unsupported iPad Air URL problem?

With my IPad Air the Safari browser has an unsupported URL bug that needs fixing. Will there be a fix for this soon? it's really annoying.

JimHdk,
Thanks for your reply.
When I'm viewing news websites on my Ipad Air, like msnbc.com, there's these annoying ads that
block the next news video segment on a show The Ed Show and other MSNBC news shows.
Then an "Unsupported URL" error message is on my Safari browser. It's been happening after the most recent Ipad Air software update.
It also happens when I mirror the MSNBC website on my tv. Any ideas?

1Password version 2 browser button fix for Safari 5

Duplicate your 1Password 2 app (control click > Duplicate). It will make a copy called
"1Password copy.app"
Download 3.2.1, mount the .dmg, open the app with finder (Show Package Contents),
Contents > Extensions > WebKitExtension.Bundle.
Control click > copy to copy the WebKitExtension.Bundle app.
Open with finder the 1Password copy.app (Show Package Contents), Contents > Extensions >
WebKitExtension.Bundle
Replace (paste) the WebKitExtension.Bundle app with the 3.2.1 version.
Use the modified 1Password copy.app to reinstall the browser extensions. Close after extension
installation.
(note: using the modified copy will cause a nag screen to be displayed every time you open Safari 5)
Reopen your regular 1Password app and Safari 5 should work (without the nag screen).
Works fine on Snow Leopard - did not test on Leopard.

Hi Bee:
This is for 1Password 2 Version 2.12.1 (build 7671), not for 1Password 3 Version 3.2.1.
(for those who have not upgraded yet).
I don't know if agile will ever offer a Safari 5.0 fix for 2.12.1 or not.
There are a lot of folks like me who own a multiple (family) license for 1Password Version 2.
Some of the older machines will never see Snow Leopard and aside from Safari 5, all current
browsers are still supported by 1Password 2.
I would probably upgrade, but truly, in my case, 1Password 3 has no new features that I really
want. I don't run Safari in 64 bit mode. It doesn't run any faster or better that I can tell (in 64 bit
mode), and it breaks the 32 bit plugins in 64 bit mode. Besides, Safari is tolerable (sometimes),
but it sure isn't my favorite Browser.
I am a basic person too, fancy prancy stuff just irritates me, I like 1Password 2's interface a lot
better. They should offer different skins for version 3, make everyone happy.
If Agile would support even one of my 2 favorite Browsers (Seamonkey and Opera), I would
probably upgrade, but instead I am forced to use Safari (ho-hum) or Firefox (Yuk!).

Any known fix for high pitch sound y

Creative, is there any fix for that problem yet?
Many of us have that problem. Its annoying each time rebooting our PC to stop that.
Please, answer us.
Thx

I can copy the mail that i got here but its in Dutch so i don't know i've you can read that. For the people that can read this i will copy the mail below here. For all the other people i suggest you call to the helpdesk and explain the problem then maybe they can help you too.
Hieronder zal ik de beschrijving geven hoe je de drivers en software van de geluidskaart grondig kunt verwijderen, en opnieuw installeren. De meeste geluidskaart problemen zijn hiermee te verhelpen.
. verwijder de geluidskaart uit de PC.
2. indien u ook een ingebouwde geluidskaart op uw computer heeft, zorg dan dat deze is uitgeschakeld in de BIOS. Voor meer informatie hierover, raad ik u aan de moederbord / PC leverancier te raadplegen.
3. In het Configuratiescherm, onder Software, verwijder alle Creative programma's.
4. Steek de installatie cd in de cd rom speler, (klik het automatisch openende schermpje weg) en ga naar Deze Computer. Hier klikt u met de rechtermuis op de cd-rom dri've, en kiest u voor Verkennen. Dubbelklik nu op de map Audio, dubbelklik dan op de map Driver, en vervolgens op het bestandje CTZAP.exe (of SETUP.exe, van de 2 bestanden is aanwezig) 5. in het menu kiest u voor uninstall WDM driver en dan sluit u de PC af.
6. Plaats de kaart opnieuw in de PC. Het is beste om een PCI slot zo ver mogelijk van de grafische kaart te gebruiken.
7. na de reboot gaat u weer de installatie cd af en installeer de cd (negeer de windows installatie boodschap, deze kunt u gewoon afsluiten.
U moet de installatie via de Creative CD uitvoeren.)
