Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari and Mail

I read in one discussion that if Safari is slow, you
can go to Font Book and select the fonts with a
bullet to get rid of duplicate fonts. I did that, and
then decided to disable some japanese fonts I don't
use.
Now Safari and Mail don't work. Mail won't open at
all, and Safari launches but doesn't load and I get
the spinning wheel.
I used Disk Utility to fix permissions, and that
didn't solve the problem, and now my Disk Utility
also says "Application Not Responding".
I also went back to Font Book and enabled all the
fonts I disabled. Still nothing.
( I can use Netscape-so it's only Mac applications I
guess)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Wow- i fixed it! I remembered that when I was in Font Book originally, there were some fonts disabled, and I enabled them.
I couldn't remember EXACTLY which ones, but I disabled some I thought were the ones, and VOILA!
Mail works, Safari works...what a relief!
And it only took me HOURS...oh well.
If this might help anyone, here are the fonts I disabled again-
BeteNoirA Regular
BoyzRGross
Chrome Yellow
Coventry Garden
FancyPants
HardlyWorthit
PleasinglyPlump

Anyone know if I should throw these fonts away? maybe a stupid question, but I'm not very good at this stuff and hesitate to change anything.

New problem from "Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari a

Now- when I close Font Book, my Address Book, LimeWire, and Disk Utility won't open.
As long as I have Font Book open, they will,
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

There are three Fonts folders: /System/Library/Fonts/, /Library/Fonts/, and /Home/Library/Fonts/. The first is restricted only to system access, the second to all users access, and the third to the specific user account access. You will find this similar organization for numerous folders of OS X. It's a standard hierarchy of Unix.

I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in 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.

Drag the icons from the Dock, go to the Applications folder and drag Safari and Mail (one at a time) to the Dock. Don't release the mouse button until the adjaxent icons move out of the way for the one you're adding.
That should compensate for the updates to Mail and Safari introduced with SL.

Help PLEASE- Server not responding error

So I got an iPad2 last week Saturday, and the Internet was working great, but this week I have continuously been receiving an error saying: Cannot Open Page: Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. I check to make sure that I'm connected, and when I try to go on safari the page loads for about 30 secs and the error appears.
I have tried everything thus far I.E.
     Turn the device on/off
     Reset my network setting
     Pressed forget this network and tried to reconnect
     Turned my airplane mode on/off
But nothing is working. I got this as a graduation gift and it ***** that I can't use it. So someone please advise me on what I should do! :-(

Have you tried restarting/resetting the iPad itself?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that doesn't help, are you trying to connect only with a single WiFi access point? If so, can other devices connect to that WiFi, or have you tried the iPad with another WiFi connection to confirm that the problem isn't with your WiFi or Internet connection?

After installing 10.9.5 I keep getting "Application Not Responding" for iMovie, Preview, Elements 10, Quicktime. Also my external drive showing up as camera on in iMovie. I do not have time machine. All was working well before! Processor 2.5GHz i5

iMac 2.5 GHz
Intel Core i5
4GB Memory

I have a similar problem.
Moreover, as my external drive is split in 2 for (a) regular storage // (b) time machine usage, I can see in the Finder that I can connect to the (a) regular storage part and use it normally (image 1).
And I cannot connect to the backup part in Finder , nor see it in Disk Utility, nor use it in Time Machine (although it's listed in the Time Machine preferences, image 2), as it does not connect (image 3).
Can somebody help?

RSS Feeds not updating in safari (and Mail)

I have just realized that my RSS feeds (bookmark bar) stopped updating a few days ago. If I "view all RSS articles," nothing more recent than several days ago appears. Even when I hit "Update Now" under actions, I get nothing. I know there are recent articles becasue I sync bookmarks across two MBAs and the other is updating just fine.
As an aside, my mail feed is not updating reliably either.
I updated to 10.7.2 on friday, but my feed worked until Saturday morning. Any idea what might be casuing this issue? I'm stumped.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. Some of my safari RSS feeds are updating whilst some aren't however if I go to the website and click on feeds again, it shows the latest ones. I think there's a bug in safari. I am running the latest version of Safari & OS X (as of this date). If anyone has a fix on this, it is greatly appreciated.

Hello jaganaiyappa,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like the one you described:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Additionally, if your iPad is not being recognized in iTunes, I recommend the following article. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
Help. Anyone? Please?
Thanks

HI,
Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
If that doesn't help, locate these files.
com.apple.Mail.plist
com.appple.Safari/plist
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Safari - and Mail - install packages

Hello,
Im having a problem with Safari on my PowerBook G4 1Ghz (OSX 10.3.9) and would like to do a re-install of the application. I had a problem with iTunes a few weeks ago (when I updated to 10.3.9 actually) and was able to re-install iTunes itself quite simply using the disks provided with my Mac.
iPhoto, iMovie, iCal, iSync and iTunes can be found in the (invisible) folder System->Install->Packages on Disk 1.
GarageBand and iDVD are in the (invisible) folder Images of Disk 2.
But no trace of Safari and Mail either.
So, where can one find the Install packages for Safari and Mail on the OX 10.3 Disks ?
Do I have to re-install the System itself ? (Ive tried that and it didnt work).
Jean-Philippe Gervais

Right, problem is, both are UPDATES, not the original app.
I've tried to work with those (if you install the 1.2 update then run the "Software Update" Item of OS X, you'll get the newer ones).
The thing is, what I'm looking for is a Safari vX.X that is an application install package and not simply an update... even if you can (somehow) work with them.
For exemple, the Safari I'm working with right now, when you right-click on a link, tells me "Localized String Not Found" all the items on the pop-up menu, even if the items works... (My OS is localized in French and the updates were US ones)...
So what I'm REALLY looking for is a way to re-install Safari from the ground up as it where.
I've found -and tried- v1.0 but it won't install on my system (10.3.4 is the earliest I've got).
So ?

TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens. The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture. It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.
