HELP! Safari 5.1.10 on OSX 10.6.8: All of a sudden in the last few days, when Safari is launched it is trying to load hundreds of pages at the same time, hanging up the whole computer. What the heck happened?

I misunderstood the settings. A few days ago I had tried to set it to open a specific page upon launch, and set "New windows open with: Bookmarks" instead of ":Homepage"

    The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad.  When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working."  To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen.  This also happens when I go to contacts.

  • The last few days Firefox, Safari and Chrome have all been going to "not responding" as soon as I open them. Has anyone else been having such a problem??

    IE8 is the only browser that seems to be working. Does anyone know what is going on??

    I understand that after using Firefox for a while there are some issues with speed. [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]

    I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

    Hello dwb,
    Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
    Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
    Thank you again for your advice,
    Regard,

  • My magic mouse is now jumping around every time I pick it up / put it down. It started in the last few days. Any ideas?

    Hi all -
    I looked around the forums and couldn't find an existing solution...
    This afternoon, I started using my Magic Mouse again, after about a week without turning it on. The mouse now jumps around erratically and sends spurious click commands - menus pop up all over the place, links are clicked, apps opened, etc. Usually it takes the form of the mouse jumping 1-8" to the left, and it seems proportional to the impact - if I put it down normally, it jumps about 4" to the left. If I put it down a little harder then normal, it usually jumps to the upper left corner.
    This ONLY seems to happen when I pick up the mouse to reposition it on the mouse pad. If I slide it smoothly along the pad, then there don't seem to be any issues.
    It has been in my backpack, and was turned on (I realized this afternoon when I took it out), so I wondered if it might have been the batteries. I checked them, and they're fine. It also had trouble connecting, though, and I had to cycle both the mouse and BlueTooth on the MBP.
    I also saw several posts here that said it might be the optics, so I tried blowing those out, but they look crystal clear.
    Just to be safe, I also updated the Wacom tablet drivers to the latest, no luck.
    MBP (July 2011) 15" i7, upgraded to 8 G RAM
    Lion 10.7.4
    Magic Mouse
    Wacom Intuos 5 tablet
    no external monitors
    It's possible this started when I installed the Wacom drivers, since it 'feels' kinda like using a tablet in absolute mode, rather than mouse mode - but with the mouse hardware. I have not tried swapping out the mouse for another one, nor tried this mouse with another Mac. I can try those in the next few days when I get an opportunity, but figured I'd ask in the meantime.
    I'm suspicious of either the Wacom tablet (but I can't imagine there would be a problem, as SO many people would have experienced it already).
    I'm also suspicious that maybe something has been jiggled loose inside the mouse, but have no idea how to tell.
    Can anyone save me a trip to the (distant) genius bar?
    Thanks!
    Aaron

    hey try a smc reset
    EDIT (smc reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.)
    if that doesnt help look at replacing the batteries in your magic mouse and try it then
    if the issue still presists take it into a apple store and they can test it there to see whats up

  • In the last few days iTunes on my iMac 21.5" has been launching unexpectedly and repeatedly. I have OSX 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.3 installed. Any ideas?

    In the last few days iTunes on my iMac intel 21.5" has been launching unexpectedly and repeatedly. I have OSX 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.3 installed and usually only Mail and Safari running, although it makes no difference what else is actually running. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply. I don't use MobileMe, so it shouldn't have been that. I did a complete computer reset by shutting down, pulling the plug for several minutes. Since then, the problem has not reappeared, so I'm hoping that the problem has been solved.

    So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
    I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
    I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
    Please help!

    Hi Andy...
    safari, Mac OS X (10.6.3)
    10.6.2 / 4.0.3...
    Whether you are running Mac OS X 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 your system software is completely outdated.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
    Your Mac OS X needs to be at v10.6.8 / Safari should be 5.1.7
    And make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk to install software updates.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

    I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
    Thanks
    Zia

    It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
    Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
    Please help

  • Why do I have to keep putting my password in to iPad in the last few days for no reason

    Over the last few days, every time I go to use my iPad 2 it asks me to put in my password. It did this over Xmas and I cleared out a lot of my storage and it seemed to stop. I have loads of space on device and in cloud and it keeps doing it. Is anyone else having same problem and what's causing it? It's really annoying

    It's often hard to determine the cause of the usage rights no longer valid. It happens when some sort of change is made other than those that are allowed. It can be due to font problems and other problems that Acrobat attempts to automatically fix.
    Adobe specifically prevent you from automating the process of extending documents with Acrobat.
