IMac- crashed in Safari then reboot is flaky (slow and not working) :(
Daughter was running Safari and screen locked up. Mouse would move but nothing else worked.
Couldn't call up force quite, menus not working, nothing.
Hold power button to shut it off. Waited a few minutes then powered back up.
Took a long time (+10 minutes) to get to login screen.
Didn't work right. Click a name and it would beachball. Sometimes, it would drop to the password but red dots pop up on screen and it locked up.
Disconneccted everything but keyboard.
Same, same, same.
Started in Single User and ran applejack auto restart.
Same thing.
Ran applejack AUTO restart.
Same thing.
Ran Apple Hardware test. Passed.
Reset PRAM and PMU/SMU.
If I let it go, it might make it to the login screen but no further. Most of the time it gets to the blue screen (after gray Apple) then beachballs.
Plugged in FW drive with 10.5.8 and hold option and the selection screen comes up real quick but after I select external (or internal or DVD), takes a long time to get there.
System DVD works but takes while to boot.
Internal or external take a long time then doesn't make it all the way.
If I hold Shift (safe boot), it takes a while (~5 minutes) but it does get thru and works okay.
External drive has not been updated for a few months so the OS on it
Disk utility on both drives is fine.
SMART status on internal is fine.
Disk Warrior is fine.
Apple Hardware test is fine.
Battery on motherboard? Nothing seems to have been reset.
4 bad capacitors!!!
And this was a replacement MB (bad USB port) installed by Apple ~June '08 ...
The MB serial number is just above the covered serial numbers in the G5 repair extension.
Doubt Apple will do anything for me at this point.
It works in safe boot.
Guess it's time for a new 'puter.
I'll get some capacitors and change them out, see if I can get it working correctly and use it for iTunes in the living room.
I wanted to change the heat sink compund (it always ran right at 160 degrees when doing anything) but was waiting from an excuse to take it apart.

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...
Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -

Yup, most users on this forum do not use MS Office, I'd suggest reposting on the Office for Mac Product Forums hosted by Microsoft.
Good luck. -

Hi
Jalil Cracker,
>>when user pres n then it must go to a form but error arises and not working good and threading is not respondin
Could you post the error information? And which line caused this error？
If you want to show Form1, you can use form.show() method
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.Show();

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.
Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou -
# Question
For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea -
I have windows 7 and my speakers worked then after update my speakers do not work and everything checked out and says they are working and that soundcard is working but no sound now.

I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.
That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well. -
I have website that on the Home page and the home only. When opened in Chrome or Safari the last 3 menu buttons do not work. But work fine in Explorer and Firefox.Its weird. The site is baystatewiring.com see if you have the same problem. Does anyone have a idea?
Code errors could explain the problem. You're missing a closing </div> tag for container.

What would cause an IMAC to recognize one printer on a wireless network and not another printer? I have a smaller HP and a an HP 4600. The computer recognizes the smaller printer but not the bigger printer even though the printer in Settings and shows up on Settings, but I cannot print to it.
Do you have a printer driver installed for it? When you open the Print dialog have you selected it from the Printer dropdown menu at the top of the dialog?
Do you know that the printer is working and is properly installed (Added?)
