Every time I use safari, software update etc... spinning beachballs

When I try to use safari, software update, system prefs, calculator etc., basically all of the software included with Panther, I get a no response and that spinning beachball thing. Has anyone had this problem.
I ran /sbin/fsck -fy and I also did a disk verify/repair (permissions also) and I also did a system restore of the applications from my Panther disks.
Adobe, Macromedia, Explorer still work fine.
Help... Please....

With that many fonts you need a font manager. Fontbook is made for casual users of fonts. It is not a professional font manager.
I use Font Reserve. Others swear by Suitcase.
If you are on a budget, completely backed up and want to experiment, try Linotype's FontExplorer. I have played with it but have not switched to it.

It is a beta but free right now. Just don't let it manage your library or system fonts and you should be ok.

Every time I use safari on my macbook pro with retina display, only half the page will load then it freezes up? It's brand new, so I don't understand why it would be doing this?

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

Why do I have to enter my apple ID every time I use my software?my new software is always waiting to be installed

how can I solve this problem

Are you talking the app store on the iPhone?
If you are, it has to do with control of getting the updates and control of downloading new software. Sometimes there will be an update when someone won't want an update. Requiring the password would give someone better control over what gets installed. Or if there's new software, it will give a parent, for example, better control over what gets purchased or even just downloaded, in the case of a free app.
I'm not an Apple employee, but I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't consider it a problem. They tend to err on the side of caution, especially when money is involved. Requiring the apple id password every time definitely does that.

TA21328 every time I use Safari I receive a message that says Safari is no longer responding because of a script problem with the website and I must press "continue" for the page to continue. This happens with every website I go to. What is wrong with my

When using Safari I have begun to notice this box appearing as I try to reach any website: "Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage and then it lists what ever web page I have tried to reach. It then asks me if I want to "stop" the script or allow it to continue. I must "continue" it in order to reach my web page/ If I press "stop" it just keeps coming back and back and I can't continue. What is wrong with my computer or Sarari or both?

I recently used iTunes and then quit. Now every time I use Safari iTunes keeps flipping in. How do I stop it?

I have asked this question befor but here it is again. The suggested fix stopped it for a while but it is now doing it again. I recently used iTunes and thenquit. Now whenever I use Safari iTunes keeps flipping in thenI must start all over again. Aggravating to say the least. How do I stop it permanently?

Restart the computer in Safe Mode, to do this when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until a progress bar appears. Once you have see if the issue repeats in Safe Mode. Then restart normally and re-test and please post your results.

Hello, since I put mountain lion on my macbook pro computer my wi fi has to be "reprogrammed" almost every time I use safari.That is, I have to go to system preferences and reselect the location, etc. now I see an additional network on my list, "wifi"

can someone please advise me how to correct this recurring problem and also how to remove this second network from my list of available networks. thank you

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work.

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the grey Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

Safari & Software Update Crash...

i don't know if the two are related... the crashing of Safari & Software Updater.
Safari crashes everytime it opens on my website that has an animated gif. It never did this before. i have had to change my start page so that Safari doesn't automatically crash every time it opens.
Software update has not worked in over two weeks... it get half way through, hangs, and then crashes. Is anyone else experiencing this?
i have had a long standing issue with the screensaver... which has yet to be answered as well. Even though i have it set to NEVER come on, the settings are ignored, and it comes on anyway. This has been the behavior of the OS since Jaguar. i am now using Tiger.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Hi Carl,
For the sake of your sanity, do not install the Security Update (it is optional). No problem installing the 10.5.1 Update, as it was released about a month prior to the update, so it is not included in the 10.5.1 update. If you can't access 10.5.1 via Software update, you can access it here.
I would think this proxy crash issue along with a number of others are addressed in the coming 10.5.2 update. You can send the error report to Apple (using Firefox if necessary) via this page. Apple doesn't usually respond to these reports, however, the information can prove useful for Software Engineers working on OS X issues.
One other piece - it's not as simple as "rolling back Safari" as the Security Update affected OS X files. Hence, the need to reinstall 10.5, then upgrade to 10.5.1.

I installed the updated iphoto 11 software and now every time I use it my computer shuts down. Please help

I bought iphoto 11 for my mac book pro. I already had an older version of iphoto. Every time I use iphoto 11 is turns my computer off abruptly. Please advise. Thank you.

Do you get this type of screen:
If so boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try launching iPhoto again. If that's successful reboot normally and try iPhoto again.
If the window isn't as shown above as a quick test try this: Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Before every time I use to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore and instead is an automatically website calle Only Search. I went to Safari preference I change everything and when I quit Safari all the changes are gone.

Every time I used to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore , instead it open in a website called Only Search, I went to safari preferences and made all changes but after I quit Safari and open again all changes are gone. I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.
