Help for surfing with hundreds of tabs open

My wife uses Safari in such a way that she normally has about 100+ tabs open on 3 or 4 windows. Not surprisingly she gets freezes a lot and then yells at me ('cause I convinced her to get a Mac). I tell her that Safari is not meant to run like this, but she keeps doing it. And keeps getting frustrated.
Is there any way to tell Safari to use more of the RAM available? Or any other suggestions?
She's on one of the Aluminum Macbooks (2GHz, 4GB RAM and half of her 160GB hard drive is full), running Snow Leopard, and the most recent Safari.

Hi,
Safari freezing can certainly be the results of 100+ tab opens and 3 or 4 windows. That's asking a lot from any browser.
Just make sure the startup disk space doesn't fall below 15% of the total capacity of the drive.
Is there any way to tell Safari to use more of the RAM available?
No. 4GB is more than enough RAM.
She could try emptying the Safari cache more often either from the Safari menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache, or Command + Option + E on the keyboard.

  • Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information?

    Anyone get a huge "Problem Report for iDVD" with hundreds of lines of information? This happens right before the DVD would be finished burning but instead crashes and leaves the long report your have to scroll down several times to read. I had to take several screen captures of the screen to get the WHOLE report. Here is two:
    (If there is another thread on this - just answer the question or refer me to it. I'm past due on a big project. Don't have time to read all 21,000 discussions in the iDVD thread. Be kind. Thanks )

    Some things to try first:
    1. Disconnect any and all 3rd party devices that didn't ship with your mac directly from apple (both FW and USB included). 
    2. Restart your mac without any 3rd party devices attached whatsoever. That includes ext. hard drives, blue tooth devices, and any third party memory product/s. Basically, anything that doesn't come directly from apple has to go (at least while troubleshooting).
    3. Need you to dispose of the plist for iDvd also. Go to you Home folder, the one that looks like a house > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist and drag and drop this file/s to the trash. Make sure to first quit iDvd prior to disposing of this pref. file/s.
    4. Run apple's disc utility and repair permissions. Applicantions > Utilities > Disc Utility > Repair Permissions.
    5. Restart your mac yet again, and try iDvd one more time.
    6. If it's still at issue then please open iDvd from a separate user account and try your project one more time. If you don't know how to create a separate user account then just come on back and one of will show you how.
    Good luck.

  • When I hit contact us hundreds of tabs open and won't stop

    When I try to contact a customer no support by using contact us,hundreds of tabs will open and not stop.I have to power off my computer and restart.Is there a setting I need to adjust or is this an issue with Fire Fox? I'm not sure what to do.Thank you for your help

    Provide the website URL
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Hundreds of tabs open automatically when I click to stream a radion station & when I try to use logmein to work remotely. Mac and Windows. used to work fine.

    I noticed the logmein issue on my new mac air. it works fine with chrome. The streaming issue happens on a new window computer. Thank you.

    You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.

  • With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

    Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
    nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
    Windows 7 Ultimate.
    If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
    This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

    It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

  • How do I make firefox start with previous session tabs open by default?

    I basically want Frefox to start with the same tabs and URL locations as they were when I previously closed Firefox.

    Click the Firefox menu button or Edit in the classic menu, then select Preferences, select the General tab, and under the Startup heading select "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

  • Every time I chose an Email address at a location, while in Firefox, I am inundated with hundreds of tabs which makes me have to force quit........why?

    when I chose an email address directly, while using firefox browser, it triggers an overflow of tabs, numbering in the hundreds. It makes me have to force quit firefox and I lose whatever I may be doing online. this is consistent for some months and I find it frustrating. I cannot use any other application on my computer until I force quit Firefox, as it takes precedent over the other apps. what might be the cause? thank you in advance for any help.

    I'm not sure what you mean by choosing the email address directly. Are you clicking a link to create a new message? You might need to change your handler for email addresses here:
    Firefox > Preferences > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and try changing the option in the right column to another mail program. If your mail program or webmail site is not listed and you would like to add it, please indicate which one you want to add.

  • Help! Tampered with files-can't open photos in iPhoto any longer

    I was doing some stuff with my Photo folders in the Finder, accidentaly deleted some and even after dragging them out of the trash I can't view my photos in the iPhoto anymore. What do I do? All the pictures are still in the Finder folders but iPhoto says its library is empty and it won't import any pictures from Finder. How do I restore them? Please Help!!

    Hi grimus,
    See if creating a new library will help get your photos back into iPhoto.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • Configurate Safari for iPad with pages instead tabs

    I've just Bogotá aun ipad2. Safari doesn't have the new page symbol, now there is a new tab symbol. I would prefer the page version because i like to see a little image of all the pages that i have opened instead just a title, that's what happen with tabs. So, i would like to change tabs for pages, or to have the possibility to see small images of the all tabs at the same time. Is that possible? Why does not Safari allow both options:new window/page and new tab?
    Thank you

    Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing only, thumbnail/paged browsing was in previous iOS version - if you want the option then you could try leaving feedback, and maybe in future iOS release we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html .
    In the meantime I think the iCab Mobile browser from the app store supports tabbed and thumbnail browwsing

  • Some help for you with an Creative

    Hi my name is macbrutal, today i got a black screen on my ZEN when it was on, but the battery lamp was shining blue as normal, and ofcourse the lock button was off..
    You couldnt turn it off, or press any buttons.. it just were on..
    If you having the same problem as i had, please try these :
    First off all : ABSOLUTELY DON'T OPEN THE PLAYER!
    (I mean with a screwdriver or something)
    Really important so you don't broke it because of that..
    -Put the ZEN back into the USB and hope for it to get back "ali've"
    -Find the Reset button on your ZEN, took me 3 hours to find something to fit..
    (A juice plastic thingy which i cut in pieces)
    Please feel free to comment more advices so people can find their way to solve their problems with the Creative Zen player.
    Thanks / McB

    EdinSF,
    Print, Fax, and Scan drivers are already included with Snow Leopard for Scanning. HP Scan Pro does not work however. To scan on the Officejet 6300 series at the moment you need to use your Printer browser, the Print & Fax system preference, Preview, or Image Capture. Plenty of other thread here on the issue, including my FAQ thread.
    Just trying to help.

  • FF5 is a worse resource hog (335,544 K!) than previous versions, even with only 2 tabs open and I cleared the cache, so what can be done?

    Plug-in container never goes below 28,000 K (and that's lowest). Twice it froze up looking at a page of book cover images. If I listen to Pandora while working, the plug-in container goes up to 105,000 K (and keeps rising), while FF can increase to over 361,000 K.
    COMPARISON:
    FF5 - 2 tabs (no Pandora) - drops to @357,000 K and plugin-container eventually down to @29,000 K
    IE8 - 2 tabs (Pandora & Amazon) - @135,000K & @28,000K
    Win XP Pro, Svc pk 3
    Intel core 2 duo cpu
    T7500 @ 2.20 GHz
    Anti-virus - Panda online
    Firewall - Online Armor
    SuperAntispyware 4.54
    Advanced System Care 3
    Spybot S&D

    I just downloaded the Memory Fox add-on and it helped immensely! Between the plugin container and FF5 it was using about 325,000K. Now it's down to operating at around 160,000K and will then drop the total for the 2 to about 55,000K periodically. Works for me, hope it will for you.

  • With one blank tab open, using 487MB and 27 threads

    Usually have some tabs such as facebook, yahoo, and a couple of others open within one window. I always find that the memory bloats and bloats to almost a gig sometimes.
    Even upon initial opening of Firefox, the Activity Monitor shows 26 or more threads.
    Is this normal?

    Hi catmandont,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[High memory usage]] or [[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]? There is a lot of great information in there.
    Hopefully this helps!
