Blue bar won't fully load..........

Everytime I open Safari, the blue bar fills up until just short of the end and then stops. The Apple home page is clearly visable but I cannot go any further, if I click on any links or type in another web address the blue bar goes back to the start and goes no further.
I know there is no problem with my internet connection because Internet Explorer (Boo!) and Firefox both work fine, as do downloads from the itunes store so it must be a problem with Safari.
Is there a way I can reinstall Safari or does anyone know a fix for this problem?
I have other problems wih my ibook at the moment which this could be related to but thought it was worth an ask. (Cant repair disk using disk utility but have repaired permissions)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Matty:
The "other problems" need to be fixed. If you cannot repair disk using disk utility from your software install DVD, you most surely have directory problems.
You have a couple of options. DiskWarrior, while pricey, is the "gold standard" of directory repair. Alternatively, you could do an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
which will install a fresh copy of OS x (including Safari). You would need to update to the current levels.

ITunes won't fully load - how to fix this?

iTunes won't fully load. Uninstalling and re-installing does not repair this. Can anyone help?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. What does this mean or what should i do?

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. I also tried plugging it in to the charger but it still did not work. What does this mean? What should i do?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,

Mail won't fully load messages

Ever since updating to 10.4.5, I open Mail, and the circle that shows the progress gets to about 50% to 95% (differs every time) and then hangs. I let it sit for an hour, still nothing. The only way to stop it is to force quit, and sometimes that takes a minute or two. My modem light is blinking like it's transferring data from the 'net, but Mail never fully loads the messages. I can see the headers, but clicking on them gives me the spinning beach ball and Mail says 'Loading Message' in the preview box.
Thanks.

Does this happen with all messages or only specific messages.
It sounds like that this might be an HTML email and Mail is trying to download images from a remote site. Perhaps the remote site is down or a certain image within the email is linked wrong and Mail is trying to download an image that isn't there.
That's a big problem with HTML emails. Try viewing plain text emails and see if you get the same result.

Safari won't fully load websites

Safari is having many and varied moments of not fully loading webpages. It is also happening to a lesser degree on other browsers (firefox, camino, shiira). I have tested removing internet plugins, deleting cache, history, duplicate fonts, plist, etc and nothing seems to want to fix this. I have loaded the latest release of flash, 8.0.27 UB after it was doing it with previous versions. I'm thinking it has something to do with flash but I'm not certain. Simpler webpages seem to load fine, it's the ones with lots of differing content that have a problem.
I have seen that this is not a unique problem to me, judging by the other posts here, but no-one has come up with a solution yet.
Any ideas and help would be very appreciated. It's driving me crazy!

Hello, Simonw44
Sorry for your frustration, it seems you have done a lot to resolve this issue, you do not mention if you have tried running Safari under Rosetta , perhaps you could try and see if that helps, though I am not sure how it would help the other browsers. Safari ->Applications-> Get info-> check box . I have to say I do not run it under rosetta & it not an issue , some have to, I do not know what the variables might be or why.
I'm thinking it has something to do with flash but I'm not certain. Simpler webpages seem to load fine
Would you post the site/s that do not load for you ? Is it possible they are ActiveX flash sites?
Cards try previewing ( bit goofy) does this site work for you? It does on my intel. It is a Macromedia Flash site.
This is the Category for our intelsimac intel duo forum though I looked briefly & did not see much for Safari.
Hope this helps some. Please let us know.

Safari won't fully load or open Youtube, ESPN, gaming websites, and others.

Starting around yesterday, I haven't been able to fully load Youtube, some sports sites, and gaming websites. I don't know what kind of issue this is, but i suspect it might be about Flash. Thanks in advance.

My CS3 won't fully load onto my iMac! Help!

I'm running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. Up until yesterday my CS3 suite worked fine. This morning, if I try to open up Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver or Flash, they only get as far as that welcome box with "Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3" at the top. The box doesn't load with the usual type or the prompts at bottom to register the software now or later. It stays blank. The program appears to be in the background but it is unreachable. It didn't fully load. I cannot click the welcome box off either - I have to do a Force Quit!
Any ideas?

I got the answer!!! It worked! Somebody on the forum called "I Heart My Beagle" told me to do this, and it worked:
1. Disconnect your internet.
2. Start CS3
3. You'll get an error screen, click "never register."
Hope it works for you too!

Itouch 4th gen won't fully load msn

My 4th gen iTouch will not fully load MSN Mobile page, only about 3/4 and kicks me back to the home screen. When I am able to bring up MSN(rare occasion) my weather location is wrong and I can not change it. MSN always switches it back and it will not let delete the wrong location.

Try:
- 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.
- Go to Settings>Safari and Clear History, Data and Cookies
- Try powering off and then back on your router
Does the Map app show the iPod correct location? If not then weaher will not either
- Try another browser like the free Chrome browser
- 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

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari, it freezes up and won't fully load in the internet. If I turn the iMac off and start it again, it seems fine. I have had my internet provider check everything from their end.

Intermittently, when I try to enter the internet through Safari on my Imac, it freezes up so that the loading line only goes 1/3 way across and then stops. If I shut down the computer and then restart, it usually loads fine. I have had my internet provider check eveything form their end and it is fine. I suspect that I have a software conflict. My provider and others have said that I should use FireFox because Safari is not that stable. I am running OSX Maverick on my system. This was a recent download. Is anyone else having this problem and have you any ideas how I can correct it.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately, leaving the Terminal window empty. If that doesn't happen, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted. When typing it, you won't see what you're typing. Make sure caps lock is off.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

IPhoto won't fully load or open the photo window dispite upgrading to 5.0.4

IPhoto starts to Load but won't open the window, shows iPhoto in the menu bar but won't respond to the "about iPhoto" or open a "New Album" (option is grayed out) by choosing File_Close Window it ungrays the "New Album" option but when "New Album" is chosen nothing happens execpet that the "New Album" & Close Window" options are both grayed out. I upgraded to iPhoto 5.0.4 (not yet in the pull down choices of the "feed back" window) but that did not cure the problems and had no effect.
Will reinstalling 5.0 from the iLife DVD work and if so does the current version have to be uninstalled first, if yes how??
Can anyone help?
Thanks for you time .

Hi Paul,
You can try a reinstall first.
To reinstall iPhoto...
Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
Insert your iLife CD/DVD and choose to do a custom install. You will have to kee ongoing through the steps of the install before you get to the screen where you can choose a custom install.
Install iPhoto.
Run Software Update and update iPhoto.
You can also try deleting the preference file for iPhoto.

PDF files using FF19 or 20 won't fully load and print blank followed by error message

I've noticed on my Win7SP1 machine that I can't print pdf documents from the PDF viewer. The pdf loads fine but the there is a little animated rotating circle that just spins and won't go away. This is likely indicating that the hidden nav bar that normally appears, when you hover over the lower middle portion of a pdf, is not working in FireFox because it works fine in Chrome and IE.
If I try to print anyway I see a message window titled "Printing," the pdf view goes blank, and a blank page is printed unless I hit cancel in time. I also get an error message "The PDF document might not be displayed correctly" with the option to open in a different viewer -- which does work -- but its not zezty, its annoying. The same website using the same pdf works fine in Chrome and IE and the little Nav bar in the bottom-middle appears fine.

The new built in pdf viewer in Firefox sometimes causes problems. It is probably worth trying the problem document printing with whatever other pdf reader you have.

Won't fully load

Greetings,
About the same time I got a new computer (with Vista), Apple released iTunes 7.4, so I installed 7.4 on the new computer. Since then I cannot get my iPod loaded -- it's recognized & it will load a little, but only a small fraction. I've tried the 5R's & I've renamed the letter drive for the iPod, but I still can't get more than a gig or 2 (on 5th gen. 30gig). I can connect to my old computer (with 7.3) & the iPod will load fully from that old PC, but I would like to start using it on my new computer. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dee

At startup, Firefox firefox loads 90% but won't fully load. Why?

I only recently acquired Firefox, and am not yet fully familiar with it; but, I now find that when I try and open up the Firefox browser, the green "progress bar", gets to around 90%+ on it's journey, then just stops!
I am then presented with an option, in the middle of the page, which says '''"Slow connection? switch to basic version."'''
When I accept this option, Firefox then allows me to access a very basic option of the browser. How can I regain access to the full version of Firefox?
Regards
Ian

ah ok well thx i will do that and i think adobe needs to fix there plugins
