I find Safari is very unstable on iPad!

Are other people finding iPad is very unstable when using Safari?

No, but then again the problem didn't seem to exist before iOS 5.x. Look in the many other existing threads on this issue for suggestions/fixes.

Safari is very slow on iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.

I'm running ios 5.1.1 on my iPad 2. For the past few days, safari has been very slow. it can take 20 seconds for a web page to load. If I force quit, it gets better for a short time, but then the problem starts up again.

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Safari 6 very unstable

Hi there,
I'm really having intermitent troubles with Safari 6 since the day 1 I updated to Mountain Lion. My Mac is a MacBook Pro 13 (2009) with 6Gb RAM and i'm always using it with tons of open apps (iuncluding Safari with lots of open tabs on it), but still, until the mountain lion upgrade i've never had any problems like these with Safari (or any other app).
What i'm experiencing is: As usual i have the habit to leave Safari with lots of open tabs and 2 or 3 windows. Now, when i'm switching between apps and then back to Safari, it suddenly just crash (closes with no message at all). Sometimes this happens when i'm opening another tab too. This happens intermitently (that is: with no pin-pointed triggering situation that i could force it to occour). When i open it back again, it just recovers with no message at all (some apps just show something about an unexpectedly crash, but not my Safari when this happens) and sometimes the recovery doesn't open the very last tab that i've opened before the crash.
At first i was just waiting for updates that might follow the mountain lion release, but now it is becoming an annoying behavior as it is happening a lot!
Is this something that is happening with other users or some special situation in my machine?
Thanks in advance

Same happens to me, exactly the same behavior. However, this started happening when I updated Safari to 6. I was still using Lion when I did update Safari. I figured maybe upgrading to Mountain Lion would help, but on 10.8.2 it is still the same. Prior to the Safari 6 update the browser was rock solid and I have never experienced it crash.

Safari becoming very unstable

The last week Safari has stopped working on many sites I go to. Today, I was simply trying to choose a live stream from NPR and Safari froze. It does not crash. I get the spinning beach ball or it is simply frozen and I have to force quit. This happens numerous times a day. Firefox does not have the same issues. Heavy Flash sites also cause a problem. I have already followed the instructions for deleting flash and reinstalling it.

Hi Jeff,
Try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If you have Safari 3rd party plugins, go here for trouble shooting.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
If you made Web Clip widgets, the webpage that it is the source of a clipping might be causing Safari to unexpectedly quit. Go into Dashboard and remove any web clip widgets. Then, if you can access the original website, re-create the widgets and see if the issue persists.
If nothing above helps, If Safari still crashes, go to the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash. Restart your Mac and see if that made a difference.
Also, try logging in to another user account and see if you can run Safari... if not then the problem is system wide. Back up all important data and perform either an Archive and Install or Erase and Install.
You could try downloading and installing the 10.4.11 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL175
Always keep an eye on available disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Safari 4 very unstable

I've got so many crash logs from Safari 4 that it's not funny any more (28 at the last count in just 2 days). It may load a page but more often than not it tries to load then crashes. If it doesn't crash then it'll crash on trying to load a second or third page.
I've removed all my input managers from both the root and home directories (including Glims b19, logitech scroll enhancer loader (latest version), SIMBL, Safari Stand) and it still crashes. I've had to resort to going back to 3.2.3 via the 10.4.11 combo update and 3.2.3 update using Pacifist and all seems well in the world again. I've done all the usual troubleshooting stuff (repair permissions, delete caches, delete cookies, and all the other stuff).
From reading the other posts here I'm not the only one having problems with the latest version of safari. I'll leave off from further updates until it's fixed I think!

Very unstable WIFI connection on Satellite A200 PSAE4E

Just had my A100 Equium replaced with an A200 satellite pro and for some reason I am struggling to get it connected to my WiFi network. I had the old laptop connected fine and was using channel 11 on my WAP.
Now having tried to connect my new laptop I am finding the connection very unstable. I have tried different channel numbers and these have worked mainly the lower numbers, but have proved slow and unreliable. I have other laptops which are fine using my WAP on channel 11.
Anybody else suffered this trouble and what's the solution.
Netgear WAP wg602. No firmware upgrade available

Hi mate
I believe that you known very well that its not easy to say exactly what could causes this WLan interruption.
As far as I know this notebook was delivered with Vista OS. I have read that the Vista OS need to be updated to the latest state and Microsoft patches and fixes must be installed to fix different Wifi issues.
Note that the patches must be updated using the Microsoft update website!
Furthermore I would recommend updating the WLan driver and to check if there could be an compatibility issue between the internal minPCI WLan card and your WLan router. You could also try to check if the WLan works fine without any additional encryption settings.
Best regards and Happy New year ;)

My iPad 1 is now very unstable. Apps crash consistently, Mac Numbers/Pages etc incompatible with IOS 5.1 etc. There seems to be no backwards compatibility to iPad 1. Am I just supposed to throw it away? I have restored the iPOad and it has ample storage .

My iPad 1 is very unstable. Many Apps simply crash after opening. There is ample storage available.I have restored the iPad twice now and still it is unstable.
Is this a lack of backwards compatibility because no-one writes apps for IOS 51.1. and the original iPad anymore? not even Apple, as the documents and sheets I create on my Mac are incompatible with my iPad now.
My naievete tells me that this is simply Apple expecting us to upgrade to later levels of hardware. If so, very disappointing for an Apple fan. Seems your App developer approvals (even your own apps) do no require compatibility with anything but IOS 6 or later.

There are various things to make your iPad more stable. You can try deleting all apps from the multitasking bar; do a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears; Settings > General > Reset all Settings.
If you had the previous version of iPages (version 09) on your Mac before upgrading to Pages 5.2, your Mac should still have that version in Applications, which is still compatible with your version of Pages on your iPad.
If you don't have that version, you can 'Export to Pages 09' which is still compatible with iOS 5.1.1.

Safari very unstable

Since I have done the 3.0 update, Safari on my iPod Touch 1st generation has become very unstable (it crashes more than 2 times in 1 minute) so I wanted to know if some other people had also this problem and how to resolve it...

It is not a Wifi or what else problem it is a application problem (Safari lag THEN crashes after) and yes I restored from a backup and it is not a network problem because before i update my iTouch, I did nort gad this problem....
And I just wanted to know if I backup as new iPod, will I loose all my songs from my iTuneslibrary and else or will I keep them and then I just have to synchronise my iPod and get my songs and apps and else back?

Computer randomly shuts down/Very unstable since upgrade to yosemite

Since upgrading to yosemite my computer has become very unstable.
For anyone that can help with what may be causing this issue I would really
appreciate it. As for "Adobe" being a possible cause, how can I determine
which Adobe program and related files are the culprit?
Thank you very much to anyone who offer's their support and help.

A number of problems exist including the likelihood of system corruption as a result of using CleanMyMac.
It is not reasonable to expect a Mac to operate normally after using CleanMyMac. Like many ill-conceived "cleaning" utilities, it is capable of corrupting a Mac to the point that erasing it completely is the only practicable means of recovery. CleanMyMac is not the only example; it is merely popular due to marketing strategies that are as effective as they are intrusive.
There is no practicable way to reverse the effects of having used CleanMyMac2 other than to reinstall all affected files from backups or their original sources. Its developer's uninstallation instructions are ineffective despite their recent claims to the contrary. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
Reinstalling OS X alone will have no effect on either removing CleanMyMac or reversing the damage it is capable of inflicting upon a system.
Besides CleanMyMac2, garbage "cleaning" and "anti-virus" software exists, specifically "Avast", "Smith Micro", and "Symantec / Norton". Those products should not be installed on any Mac, because they convey no benefit and are only capable of creating or contributing to problems.
In addition, that Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file
The recovery procedure that follows will obviate the need to correct all those separate problems and is likely to require the least amount of your time and interaction.
Follow the applicable recovery procedure below:
If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.
If you do not have a backup that predates the use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

Since installing OS X 10.8.2 Safari is very slow to open sites

Do you get a notice that Safari has quit unexpectedly? If so, please do the following.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

New Mac Book: very unstable on several apps???

Hi all,
I just bought my gf a brand new macbook, so she could change from a crappy toshiba with windows to osx.
After a few weeks of running it, I have come to the conclusion that it is not working well at all!
To start with, she works on large word files. I have installed both office for mac 2004 and the new 2008,. but both show very poor performance, and keep on crashing to desktop when using advanced functions. (how hard can word really be on a processor???)
Then, Safari is also very unstable. When using about 5 tabs or more, it usually crashes as well, or starts hanging for ever. Also, when opening pdf files in safari, with the adobe plug-inn, it usually also hangs safari, very annoying!
but then it came to me last night: All these problems must be leopard related.
I run a G5 Quad myself, and upgraded to leopard, only to downgrade it the next day to tiger, since most of my apps were very unstable on leopard.
So my question is, do you guys think my assessment is correct, and that the most likely solution to the problems I am having is a downgrade to tiger?
I'm hoping to get some oppinions on this.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers,

Just to build on what hyphen has said:
Don't use earlier OS than came with the computer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784
Additionally, read about About "Downgrade" installations
+"You should not reinstall an earlier version of the same software over a later version. These "downgrade" installs may seem to work, but Apple does not test nor recommend downgrade installations in most cases. Some installers prevent downgrade installations. If you need to reinstall an earlier version of Mac OS X, erase your disk first or choose the erase option in the Mac OS X Installer. Be sure to reinstall any software updates after reinstalling the operating system."+
