Computer locks up while running safari

I have an MAC running 10.9.2 mid 2010 - computer locks up while running safari - I have reset safari - not sure what else I could do to fix the problem - at least once a day I have to restart my mac

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report—it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Entire computer freeze while running Safari in OS X Mavericks

    I honestly can't recall the last time I've had a full "system freeze" on this or my two previous MacBook Pro laptops.  But now it's happened twice in the past couple weeks, both times while running Safari and under OS X 10.9.2.  This is the sort of freeze where the only thing I could get to function was the trackpad or bluetooth mouse.  I could move the mouse around but couldn't click on anything.  Nor could I request a Force Quit as none of the pulldowns worked, nor would <option><command> <esc> bring up any menu.  I closed the lid but the computer wouldn't even go to sleep.  My last resort was to hold down the power key until the machine shut down which worked.  I restarted and it came up ok.  I am about to go stare at the system log but haven't done so yet. 
    Might this be a Mavericks issue??  I am running the latest 10.9.2 and I've been running that for both of these recent events.  Anyone seeing this???  Again both times it happened while Safari was up and running so I suppose it could be a Safari issue but I am most often on Safari anyway so it's a bit premature to blame Safari.
    Any thoughts???
    thanks... bob..

    Bob,
    I've had Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, a 2009 MacBook and an iMac since the day it was released and have installed updates up to and including 10.9.2 on the dates each update was released.  Safari is my primary browser and I use it a lot.  I have not experienced such a problem on any of the 3 computers. I have been very pleased with the performance of all 3 machines.
    Since the problem is so random on your system, it will probably be difficult to diagnose.  If you have not done so, possible a clean install from the Recovery Partition will fix the problem.

  • Finder locked-up while running Garmin map manager

    In Maverick OS, Finder locked-up while running Garmin map manager; can't force quit because Garmin 450 is connected.  Also complicated by Sketch-up app trying to install; several license agreement screens on desktop. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, DCC

    Hello saturdaysaint:
    I would try a couple of things:
    Run permission repair as a "precaution."
    Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
    Trash com.apple.finder.plist (the finder preference file).
    I never let software updates run automatically - I use the software update manually and then back up before any update.

    Why does the computer lock up while I am securely emptying the trash?

    Select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Finder and press return. From the Finder menu bar, select Finder ▹ Preferences ▹ Advanced and uncheck the box labeled Empty Trash securely.

  • Lock keyboard while running script

    Hello,
    Please let me know the concept to lock the keyboard while running the script to avoid any intervention by the users.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    While the script is running, if it is properly written, the user should not be able to interfere with the workings of the script. as a extra measure, try using a scriptUI palette with a progress bar (see peter's book on the subject).
    Are you using stuff like "app.copy()" and app.paste()? That it is usually a recipe for disaster, and the one reason people ask about locking the keyboard.

    Use Spotlight and search for "Activity Monitor." Then look for the Safari application to stop it. Or use this method to force quit http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/86010/ctrl-alt-delete-mac-equivalent
    If the link above can't be seen, press OPTION+COMMAND+ESC on your keyboard to force quit applications.

  • I7 iMac Processes Freezing and Computer Locking

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using an iMac i7 with 8GB RAM, but it's intermittently pausing and eventually locking up hard.
    On a fresh reboot, I get a couple hours work, then the machine starts pausing, eventually locking up. The processes are active for about 15 seconds, then freeze for the same amount of time. In Activity Monitor the active processes (e.g. Finder, Terminal, Safari, Activity Monitor, etc.) appear as "Not responding" during the frozen period (unless Activity Monitor is also frozen, which it often is).
    According to iStats and `top`, I've got 6GB of RAM free, and the CPU usage is generally 0-1% (i.e. idle). No processes are using any measurable amount of CPU or RAM.
    When I reboot and run the 'D' hardware tests, no problem is discovered.
    According to iStats, the computer's temperature seems fine (HD: 52°C, CPU: 46°C, ambient: 23°C, GPU diode: 59°C, GPU heatsink: 58°C, memory controller: 51°C, power supply: 64°C), as do fan speeds (optical drive: 999rpm, hard drive: 1125rpm, CPU: 937rpm).
    As a matter of interest, this started happening two days ago after the computer locked up while playing Starcraft 2 and I had to hard-reboot. At the time I was (and still am) running 10.6.4; I'd installed the Snow Leopard Graphics Update on August 31st.
    I'd be very much obliged for any thoughts and input, as - unless I'm mistaken about the hardware somehow - the usual suspects aren't appearing (i.e. a rogue process, overheating, broken fan, etc.).
    If I were to guess, I'd suspect a problem with the scheduler, but I don't know that much about Darwin to test.
    Thank you kindly for any thoughts and suggestions.
    Brian

    Hi, when I had that type of issue on my C2D the HD was the cause..
    You could have either the Apple Genius's or your local Apple Approved Service Agent take a look & run some tests..Their testing programs are more vigorous than techtool... Have you rebooted holding down the D key, (D=Diagnostics)? it has 2 levels, try them both...L

  • Running Safari or Firefox = Eternal suspend/crash

    I have posted this question in the iMac section with really no progress, I have determined that it is solely related to Safari and the internet, so I thought I would post it here.  Without fail while running Safari and loading on scrolling the spinning wheel will start and Safari will freeze.  I can go to Finder and try to force quit (It says Safari is not responding) and try to shut it down, but it won't shut down. If I continue to try to open other applications from the dock, the icon will turn dark, but nothing will happen, no bounce and no start up.  I then have to do a hard shut down on my computer.  It ONLY happens when I am on the internet.  I have emptied cache, emptied cookies, removed and reinstalled Safari, had the latest firmware upgrade for my modem (no other computers in the house have issues with the internet).  I have run Tech Tools, everything is good.  I hope someone out there can help me.  I apprecaite any ideas or insight.

  • Error Message: A crash occured on (date) at (time) while running "Applications": Memorymgr.c, Line:5346, Chunk under-locked

    I keep getting the following warning:
    A crash occured on (date) at (time) while running "Applications": Memorymgr.c, Line:5346, Chunk under-locked
    What is causing this? It usually happens overnight while I'm not using my phone... so the first time I touch it in the morning it shuts off and resets. The problem started occuring after Sprint switched from "On Demand" to "Pocket Express". I had no idea of the switch, so when I clicked on it the phone automatically updated to the new application. Since then, my phone has been a mess. I deleted the application, performed a hard reset and downloaded it on my phone again.. but still there's problems. This morning, I deleted the "Pocket Express" for good. I figured it wasn't worth it if it's causing all these problems.
    Help... please. I'm a novice, so please make sure the solution is something I can understand. Also, do I need to go through my Palm Desktop/Hot Sync program on my computer and delet files too?
    Thank you in advance.
    Phone: Treo 755p
    Carrier: Sprint
    P.S. I also just installed the Sprint Treo software update: Treo755p-1.07-SPNT
    It cleaned things up... but not for long.

    After a hard reset and after you delete the program on the device, you will need to rename the backup folder in your username folder on the PC. The backup folder contains all 3rd party programs and settings for your device. When you sync, the backup folder is reloaded onto your device and will bring back the 3rd party programs.
    Follow the instructions below for the procedure I described.
    Looks like you may need to hard reset and rename your backup folder if you go
    to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the
    directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over
    you will need to rename your backup folder to do that go here
    XP
    C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
    folder to backup.old
    Vista
    Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
    folder to backup.old
    Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
    tasks, and memos will come back over.
    Show file extensions for XP or Vista
    XP
    If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
    folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
    files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
    Vista
    Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
    files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.Find your username folder

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
