Frozen Window Behavior (Safari, Pages, others)

Starting a thread because I've run into something with my Lion install and haven't been able to find anyone else, but that may be because we're all calling it something different.
What's happening is that from time to time, the content of a window (e.g. a tab in Safari, a doc in Pages, the main Twitter app window) will "freeze" and not respond to clicks or scrolls. But if you switch to another app and back, the view refereshes to the new position (if you tried scrolling), but still remains frozen. In every instance, no matter which app this occurs in, normal funtion is restored by closing and re-opening the window or tab, or quitting and re-launching the app.
This is not something that I ever saw occur prior to Lion. It's also only happening on one of two machines with Lion installed on it. Our iMac has this problem, for all user accounts, our Air does not. Perhaps it's related to all the legacy data on this machine (updated since Tiger, no clean installs).
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Oh, and I also turned off DNS pretetching.

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?

So is it necessary to buy a mac to guarantee that a website acts like it should, or is the Safari for Windows enough?

Pages render the same for Mac and Windows in Safari.

Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resources window then I have to refresh the internet search address line at the top of Safari. Can someone tell me how to stop this. It started after a software upgrade. It didn’t do that before. Thank you.

A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

Appearance of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers

I guess this question has been posted several times before because I can't find the relevant search terms to limit the number of answers to a reasonable count. Thus, sorry for the repetition (if so).
Is there a way to amend the appearance problems of iWeb 2.0.2 pages in Safari and other browsers?
Problems are:
Safari: color management (?) - take a look at this site: http://shivaduo.jan-groh.de - Text and frame were created with exactly the same web safe color (990033), but they differ a lot.
Firefox 2..., IE 6, Camino 1.5, Shiira: no shadows, (some) no reflections, (all) horizontally broken lines in reflections of frames, (Windows) fonts (Trebuchet MS) get changed (worked perfectly before with iWeb 1... on exactly the same computer).
Is there any remedy to this aestheical disaster (which was the main reason for me to switch to iLife '08)?
Thanks in advance,
Rosember

You haven't mentioned any steps you might have tried to correct this so I'll suggest you try the first troubleshooting step. Reset your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. No data will be lost doing this. It's like rebooting a computer.

Try printing the page as PDF.
From your Safari menu bar click File > Print > Save As PDF then print the PDF file.
If you don't want to do it that way, reset the print system.

I have what appears to be a web icon that is frozen on my safari blank page. The icon is for a website and shows the image of a progress clock. If I tap the image, the website opens, but I notice that the clock in the upper left never stops moving.

If I tap the icon, the we page will open, but the clock on the upper left corner will continue to run as though the page is still loading, but never finishes. When I close the we page, the clock image will remain on the blank safari page. I cannot get rid of it. Just upgraded software, but that did not help. Any ideas of how to get this "icon" off my blank safari page?

That's probably a bookmark you have saved in Favorites.
Tap bookmark icon>Favorites>Edit>Delete the bookmark

If I open a second window in Safari it doesn't have the home page icon nor does it have the back and forward arrows. Why not?

How do I get a second Safari page with the home page icon and back and to arrowsl?

Move to the desktop or rename the com.apple.Safari.plist
Found in your User/Library/Preferences/
Finder>Go>Go to Folder (copy and paste:)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit and restart the browser. The default plist will be rebuilt. See if this sorts your problem.
If no you can always put back the original plist, no harm done.

Hi since yesterday I can't open my safari page calculater and some other sites when I open they come up for a sec and close back

CCan't open safari and other pages since yesterday

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.

Try to open your mail again and see if it works.

What does Private mean at the bottom of my iPhone screen when viewing my windows in Safari?

Private appears at the bottom of my iPhone screen while viewing open windows in Safari. What does it mean?

Touching Private will switch ON/Off private browsing mode.
Private Browsing
Private Browsing in iOS protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark.

Open Browser Window Behavior

I am using the Open Browser Window behavior. When test on my
machine, it works fine in IE, Safari, Firefox and Navigator. When I
upload to my test server it does not open at the correct size in IE
7 (did not test earlier versions) and Safari 3. In both browsers,
the new window is tiny, whereas I am specifying 460 wide and 490
high.
The code for this behavior is: <li>Chairman - John
Andrews (<a href="#"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Bios&Roles/BioJMA.html','BioJMA','width=460,height=490')">b io</a>)</li>
The page is at:
http://www.collabracom.com/Home-Test8/About/Index.html#
I have the behavior inside a Tabbed Panel. The links for this
behavior on on the "Leadership" tab.

My pet peeve - a website in a single page.
It works fine for me in IE7. Once I found the tab.

How do I keep more than one safari page open at the same time?

New to Mac. I'm used to being able to have several applications open at the same time, and able to check emails, eBay, camera for downloading photos, etc., but when trying this on Mac, I can't seem to figure out how to swing from email to something else....oh, it opens up eBay and other pages, but not where I left it...I have to keep starting from the beginning...name, password, etc. I can't have 3, 4 or 5 safari pages open at the same time?? This is making my life cumbersome, and running back to the basement office and using my dying Dell desktop where life was a bit simpler. Sometimes I need to copy a few paragraphs on one website into another....and its taking me way too long to get this done. I know there's a way of doing this on Mac....

Hi Suzkas,
I was new to mac a short time ago and I had frustrations in the learning curve especially as I was so used to working with PC.
If you look at the top left of the screen you will see the words SAFARI next to the apple logo. if not then either open safari or click on the window and the mac will then show safari at the top. If you now click on FILE you can select NEW WINDOW or NEW TAB as you wish. I often use new tab and switch between them. If you go to VIEW and select CUSTOMISE TOOLBAR you can drag an icon to the top of the safari window and you won't have to keep going to the menu to add a new tab. I will sometimes select new window to keep something separate from my other work.
If you close down a window you will often lose your place, but using the tab system you will leave the window active unless you select the cross to terminate. If you have a separate window open you can select the orange blob (between the red and green at the top) and the window will slide down to the dock and stay there, active, for you to return and continue.
Hope this help, stay with it, go see the instore staff and pretty soon you wont look back
PS I have PARALLELLS6 running with a copy of windows 7 on my mac. This means that I can switch to microsoft if I want to. However, with office for mac installed I rarely need to now, the only time I ever open windows is for an application that has no mac version.

Mac - how do I assign safari pages to a space

I work on several projects in Google AdWords. I would like to assign each project to a specific space so that when I reboot (I like to shutdown every night) I will find my mac in roughly the same arrangement as the night before. I know how to assign apps to spaces , although I find this doesn't always work, so that is not purely the solution. When I work on a specific Google AdWords project, I might have several Safari pages open along with specific Word and Excel docs, and Adwords Editor. When I reboot in the am, I find that all Safari pages have opened the night before are now in the space assigned to Safari and I have to go through the cumbersome time-consuming business or reassigning docs or Safari pages to a vacant space in order to better see and concentrate on just the project on which I want to work. There must be an App for That! Please help me find it.
Thanks ahead,
gerry

Wonder if there are any project management, window management apps that might address this issue. I think I've seen some but don't recall names.
