How come Safari doesn't work?

Running OS 10.4.7. Go to the Google search field box at the top of Safari. Enter ussr. This will be the first result:
Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The USSR was created and expanded as a union of Soviet republics formed ... Established by four Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR grew and from 1956 to ...

Click on it and Safari just spins a colorful beach ball until it needs to force quit.
I find this beach ball happening more and more. I'm typing this in Firefox 1.5.0.4. And will have to stay with it now.
In having to force quit Safari I lost a huge text reply I was typing in Safari when I did a search for ussr and got frozen out from anything in Safari.
It' can't be that difficult for Apple to fix Safari can it?

bzmacmom --
Have you done these?Do you have internet apps SpeedDownload, iGetter, PithHelmet, Acid Search, Safari Enhancer ? Or Norton or Virex? Sometimes non-apple internet apps need updating or uninstalling. If you do, let us know which ones and which version, please.
Have you done these?
1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash your Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
If you're still having problems:
4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, then restart your computer.
Let us know, OK?

How come this doesn't work?

for (i=0;i!=(row*col);i++){
total+=parseFloat(eval("value"+(i+1)));
trace(total);
trace(parseFloat(eval("value"+(i+1))));
total is a variable from a dynamic text box and the
eval("value"+(i+1)) variables are from input text boxes. The
trace(parseFloat(eval("value"+(i+1)))); displays the values entered
in the input boxes correctly but the trace(total); displays NULL
everytime.
Variables row and col both = 2, and the input text values =
random integer (entered by user).
I'm probably missing something really stupid but i can't see
what is wrong with this.

Ah forget it, i just had to do total = 0; before hand, even
though when i did this without using eval() it worked without
having to be pre defined.

My Safari doesn't work properly after installing Lion. Don't like it, how can I uninstall? (Cloud not worth it)?

I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac. My Safari doesn't work properly anymore. Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall? Thanks,

Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari.

Safari doesn't work anymore on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

Safari doesn't work anymore on my iPad- it hangs completely. Anyone knows how to recover?

Repeated to another user:
I have had the same issue since the release of iOS7. I even went as far as a factory reset of my iPad 2 and did not restore from any backup. Safari still will not load any pages. It hangs then stops.
I have tried the steps above so please don't repeat them. I refuse to believe I am the only person on the planet that cannot get a resolution for this?
Please, somebody, help me fix this. It's extremely annoying that the default browser cannot be change yet will not work.

Internet connection okay, but safari doesn't work !

Dear All,
Internet connection okay, but safari doesn't work ! Version 6.0.2
Appriciate your support

hi there Michael
sorry for the delay was on leave
when i say download the software from the Apple's website i mean download the software update for mac os x 10.3.9
as once you reinstall panther again it will revise back to the original version of the OS which came along with the computer when you purchased which will cause safari to be incompatible with
so once you do a software update for you operating system it will get it compatible with safari
so to get the update you can download it from the computer you have it burn the update on a CD or DVD and then install it on this computer
you can get the download from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
just click on the link above to get to the page then click on the number 117mb on the upper right hand corner
once you have downloaded it burn it to a disc and install it on your computer
hey sorry if i did not make myself clear earlier

Thanks for your support in advance.

I don't know about Growl as I've never used it. But I'd remove anything that might involve your internet connection. To remove Growl: http://growl.info/documentation/growl-package-removal.php
In my earlier post I asked do you have any Anti Virus software installed?
Do you have access to another computer so you could download another browser, perhaps onto a USB stick and then install it on your Mac just to see if the problem is Safari specific:
Google Chrome: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/browser/
Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

HT4972 I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work.

I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work and keeps bombing out. I've tried restoring the iPad to the original configuration but this is clearly not restoring the iPad back to the original factory default!! Help !! I have the original v1 iPad. I wish I had never upgraded the IOS now !

1. Double-click the Home button to show the Task Bar
2. Hold the Safari icon down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Safari

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

My safari doesn't work anymore!

Hello ! I have the same problem ... more or less. The Safari we have on one of the MacBooks' here doesn't work any longer. That happened after I both downloaded and installed the updated for Safari two weeks ago or so- and (simultaneously) ran an application called "MacKeeper". Maybe that was the "bug"? ... because after that Safari collapsed, but nothing else. I tried to reset all on Safari, copied even manually all preferences of Safari from another MacBook that worked onto mine, but no chance. Safari is blank when I try to open it, nothing happens, except from making the rest of my MacBook also work slow. Now I have to use Firefox, that works, but I don't want to use this browser, I would like to have Safari back.
My question is the same: Is there at all a chance to fix this problem? Any advice from you guys out there is highly appreciated!

Safari doesn't work after new Installation of Lion

Hello,
I installed a new SSD into my MBP mid 2009 and put the HDD into the optibay instead of the Superdrive, after that I installed OSX Lion onto the SSD and used the Migration Assisstent to migrate my old User Folder from the HDD with the newly installed OSX Lion. After the migration, everything went well, except of the following:
-Safari doesn't work, no website can be loaded, as soon as I run Safari, there is a process running named "Webprocess" which uses 95% of the CPU and makes the MBP heating.
-VLC Media Player does not work as well
Any idea anyone?
thx
Mohammad

Another problem is:
When I start the Dropbox Application, it uses nearly 90% of the CPU as well, so the mac heats up, in a way that it is not possible to use the dropbox application...
(The Icon of the VLC Media Player only jumps up and down in the dock, and nothing else happens)

HI ..
The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
Please read > OS X Recovery

How come siri doesn't find places, restaurants or maps in canada .

how come siri doesn't find places, restaurants or maps in canada .I am so angry that apple says that siri does all of that but forgets to say USA only !!!!

It is dissappointing that Siri location services are available in only a few countries. However, Apple never said that it was available everywhere. It is a beta service and they never even had a trace of Siri on the Apple Canada website. They even removed it from the video clips and everything. I consider myself lucky we can use it at all (reminders/calender dates/texts/websearches etc.) we have to wait patiently for our Country to be added. It will probably take a little while due to having 2 national languages.

Safari doesn't work properly

Safari doesn't work properly. See screenshots
0— what version
1 – Scaling doesn't work as it should and as it worked before
2 – inspector became unusefull in some manners and few weeks there is now way but use alternative browser to work
BTW some controls on websites (eg SHOPIFY), based on JS doesnt work properly.
To solve a lot of problems now as never before I use chrome.
That's very very sad.

You coulds always get Google Chrome- Its free!
