Imac intel browser problem

I am using a iMac intel 2Ghz core duo, on 10.6.8, it is about 8 years old, and very recently I have been experiencing a problem with Safari, when I try to open a webpage the progress bar will start to move the it will lock up, if I do a reboot, it will rectify the problem temporarily, but then the problem returns, I have turned off the IPV6, all to no avail.
I am using the new BT Hub 4, and it does not appear to be a router problem, as everything else is working fine, i.e. two ipads, and a Macbook Pro.
Maybe the old lass is getting a bit old.
Any Ideas
Many Thanks.

Have you tried emptying the cache or resetting Safari?  In the Menu bar go to Safari >> Reset Safari.  This will give you numerous options of browser items you can reset.  On a more lighter note you can try emptying the cache which is Safari >> Empty Cache.  This will clear files that Safari stores to help previous webpages load faster.

  • Problems installing flash player in my IMac (intel)

    I recently bought the latest IMac (Intel) desktop, and went to YouTube, but it tells me that I need to download the latest adobe flash player in order to view YouTube clips.  When I went to the adobe site to download the latest flash player, I am having problems downloading it - error message saying "Mounting failed".  What is the solution to this problem?  Appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Wilbs23

    Did you go to the Adobe site via a link supplied with the error message, or directly from your own bookmark?
    I ask because error messages like that are often used by malware perpetrators to take you to a fake webpage and download their malware.
    Flash Player 10.3.181.22 is the current version, and there are two instances of it - one for Firefox, Safari and Opera, and a seperate one for the Chrome browser.
    I updated mine only last week without problems, but it has to be said I'm not on a new machine and I'm running 10.6.4 rather than 10.6.7 so there may be something I'm not aware of there.

  • TA25225 Display Flickers in my 21" Imac Intel. This happened after the fan noise in my machine. I also reported the problem and gave to the service centre, but the problem still persist. Please help. I purchased it 3 - 4 weeks ago

    Hello,
    I purchased my imac intel 21" 3-4 weeks ago and in the 2nd week i faced an issue with the machine. When i switched on in, there was a fan noise and a white screen. The machine had hanged. I reported the problem and gave to the service centre. After testing for a week, they said that there is no problem with the imac. Again i faced the same problem after receiving it from the service centre. They again tested the machine for 3-4 days and reported as no problem with the machine. Couple of days back, I received the machine from the service centre, and on the same day when i switched it on, there are flickers in the display. Please help me solve the issue. I am from India. The service here is very bad.
    Hope for a resolution
    Thanks

    Hello RedDevil07
    Yes I agree with seventy one. It's common sense to do this, especially now. I would also contact AppleCare and report this issue with them, it will get documented and you will have a caseID that you can refer to when talking to them in the future should this issue go one.
    Be polite with AppleCare and your AASP. Hopefully everyone is being honest and trying to help you and not what might appear to be the opposite.
    Patience is a virtue, but I thoroughly understand your frustration.
    Let us know how it goes, we are here to help in whatever way we can.
    I encourage you to contact AppleCare to report this experience and get their recommendations. There is an expectation that you should have that AppleCare is there to help you as a customer. I am sure they will too!

  • Updates from Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to 10.8.4 on my iMac Intel Core i7 are giving me problems.

    I recently updated my Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to 10.8.4 on my iMac Intel Core i7. Now I am experiencing all sorts of problems.
    1. It won't recognize my phone: Under the last OS I used to just plug in my phone and it would automatically recognize it and give me a desk icon. Now, nothing. I am forced to use bluetooth, which is so time consuming, to off load my photos. I even tried lauching iPhoto first and then plugging in my smart phone, and it would not recognize it.
    2. Clicking on files or folders on the desktop acts as if I have the shift or command key engaged and highlights all the ones I clicked on, instead of just releasing the last file I clicked on when I click on the next file.
    3. My mouse keeps disappearing all of a sudden. So I have to keep moving my mouse around until the cursor finally becomes visable.
    4. Some applications, when clicked on in the dock, open a new window as if the computer has lost the path as where to find the original except I don't get an error message saying the alias needs to be fixed. It just opens Applications.
    These are the most annoying things that are happening since I have upgraded my iMac. Number 1 is the most important thing now as my videos are taking hours to off load.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Eric... I restarted my iMac in Safe Mode. It gave me the option of Me or Guest. I chose Me. It started up. I ran Disk Utility and I noticed that the repairs of permissions were focused on my scanner and printer. Nothing else. Restarted. Noticed that the mouse issue is fixed. Yay! Folder issue is fixed. Yay! Application/path finding also seems to be back to normal. Yay!
    My Smartphone will still not mount. Disk Utility did not recognize the phone. Going into About This Mac showed me that it can recognize the phone via Bluetooth. Under About This Mac>Hardware>USB, it also sees the phone. So why is it not mounting like before? Or what is the next step? I read those articles you attached in your initial response.

  • 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Display problems.

    It was hard trying to sum up my problem for the thread title... so let me try and describe what I am experiencing a bit more clearly.
    I have recently acquired a 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo,2 GHz(aluminum body black plastic back)-with display issues...
    The problem is basically that there appears to be no happy middle ground in regards to contrast- it is either WAY too white or WAY too black... I would have to say it is more of an issue with CONTRAST than brightness, it appears that nothing I can do in calibrating the screen really matters.
    I have calibrated displays before and never had this sort of issue. It is pretty bad (for example): a royal blue appears as black or gray mac highlight color choice appears as black.... white and medium grays appear indistinguishable.
    all this in addition to the fact that there appears to be a gradient to the screen when you display a solid color neutral back ground, not too mention that it is VERY hard to look at this screen for very long and for what I do( 3D model making and texture creation) the display is pretty useless.
    I have read about similar issues with this model's screen at other sites, but most of the threads ended without being resolved and were more than a year old.
    This machine belonged to my in-laws and according to them, it always looked this way and when they took to back to the Apple store few weeks after purchasing it( brand new), they were told there was "nothing wrong with the display, it's supposed to look that way"... the machine was hardly used(just for iChating with our infant daughters), so I don't really think it is an issue with age or anything.
    Now here is the really weird part:
    I just upgraded the OS from 10.4 to 10.5 and when the machine first displayed the default 10.5 background(the Nebula one... blueish-pink with stars)... as it was going though the start up IT LOOKED RIGHT.
    Once everything was done and all my icons appeared- Boom! Back to ugly.
    I have noticed the same thing occur if I shut down the machine.
    Startup screen, the default (nebula)background(my choice of background) comes up... it looks fine, the icons start to show up... everything still looks good and then when everything is done... BAM! UGLY!
    I'm not sure what to make of this... any suggestions
    One last thing- I am VERY familiar with the default background for OS 10.5, I have used it on my iMac G5 for over 2 years. When I say the displayed "looked right" I mean, it looked like what I was used to and how it appears on other machines.
    Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

    mcgyver,
    If start up and shut down look correct then something is set or corrupt in the user options. To test this, add a new user and signon as them.
    Regards
    Edit: I don't use 10.5.8 anymore so the following suggestions are for 10.6.5.
    The things that may affect your display are:
    System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing Tab. Display: Make sure Enhance contrast slider is set to normal. Use grayscale is unchecked.
    System Preferences > Displays > Color tab > Display profile set to display or iMac. Whatever the default is on your system.

  • IMac Intel and WinXP - Sharing Files Problem

    Hi there,
    I want to be able to retrieve my files from my Windows XP Pro SP2 computer to my iMac Intel. Both currently are connected via a NetGear Router and have an internet connection (satellite modem). I use the installed Apple Airport Express card.
    Problem is that I can't get either computer to see the other; however, I can successfully ping each one from the other one. There is no data loss, no delays. They are connected via ethernet cable from the satellite modem to the router, then from the WinXP computer to a different port on the router. Neither ethernet cable goes into the iMac.
    Therefore, as I know that the IP addresses seem to be correct, what else needs to be done here? I was speaking with an Apple rep on the phone who suggested taking one ethernet cable and remove it from the router and connect it direct to the iMac and run it to the XP. Problem is that now the XP computer has no internet connection. So, I have reversed it back in order that both computers can access the internet. (I caught them at their closing time apparently as the agent wasn't on the line when I went back on to report that I had changed the cable over...)
    When I select Go and then Connect to Server Settings, after about 1 minute I finally get an error message from the AFP server connection stating: "Connection Failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again. OK."
    I have disabled the firewall on the XP computer. I also removed the antispyware, the main firewall software and the antivirus software. (These are all from Freedom Software [now called ZeroKnowledge I believe].) I then reverted to the Windows Firewall and did some more tests. Nothing changed.The only difference here between this firewall being enabled and disabled is the speed with which the error message appears. If the Windows Firewall is DISabled then it takes about 2 seconds for this message to appear. If ENabled then about 1 min.
    So. Any suggestions on how I can get each computer to recognise the other? I would appreciate any suggestions here. Perhaps I've missed installing something or completing a step? According to Apple I have all I need at least for the iMac. As to the XP stuff I believe it is all fine...
    I'm new to all things Mac so details might be helpful for me.
    Thanks so much in advance.

    So is the router negotiating the connection with PPPoE for your local network giving you one external IP address and then using DHCP to negotiate local connections for your two computers or are each of the two computers negotiating their own connection with PPPoE giving them each separate external IP addresses?

  • IMac Intel partition login problem

    Since yesterday our iMac runs very slowly and refuses to log in to the primary identity, although it will very slowly load two minor user identities. When one tries to log in on the main original user one, the screen goes blue without wavy lines and after 2 minutes or so goes back to the user identity login screen without comment. The only comment from the console was as follows:
    Jan 3 16:02:18 a-hs-computer/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Mac0S/loginw indow: Login Window Application Started
    Jan 3 16:02:19 a-hs-computer(243): Login Window Started Security Agent
    Mac OSX Version 10.4.1 (Build 8S2167)
    2010-01-03 +0100
    That is all!
    At 15:38 there is a crash report mdimport server crashed: 'SystemUIServer not responding', 'crashdump crashed' which repeats for 4-5 minutes incl. an 'Isregister crashed' in the middle somewhere, but is too long to repeat verbatim here.
    Checking with disk utility, the report goes as follows:
    "Checking HFS Plus volume
    Checking Extents Overflow file
    Checking catalog file
    Invalid node structure (in red)
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired
    (The program now demands I put in an administrative password but when I DO SO it stops the checking and just adds:
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (in bigger red letters)
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair.
    (But the repair button is greyed out.)
    Macs used to have a disk repair utility SOSDisk (with ambulance graphic) that one could use from the OS System disk, when starting with this. Can one repair with the iMac Intel OS CD?
    I saw our old AppleCare CD has TechTool on it. So installed it and tested the machine. The 2006 version reported that the Directory Scan had failed but the Drive Hardware had passed (so perhaps it is reparable). The Surface Scan was so slow that I skipped it once it had reported 4 errors. The final item, Volume Structure failed.
    Techtool then says TechTool Deluxe can attempt to "repair the damage" or "reduce the chance of future problems" but I find no trace of a repair tool on it. It takes one back to Apple Support to download the latest version of TechTool Deluxe (2009) but I find no trace of a useable repair tool on that one either, merely a checking system. This time the test passed the Directory scan which had failed with the earlier version, and I let the Surface Scan run slowly to its end over 2 hours, when it reported Failed with 72 errors. Volume Structure failed too.
    The newer Techtool is v. 3.1.3. As I did not put in the Apple Care identity when downloading (ours has expired) so is it possible I have a short version without the repair kit? Does anyone know Apple's policy on that? It seemed to download fine without the ApCare identity.
    Techtool instructions say one should burn the disk image of TechTool Deluxe DVD on a DVD using Disk Utility but when I get the disk image up and click on the burn button on DU, the DVD starts burning but spits the DVD back out after 30 seconds of burning. I am doing it wrong or is the DVD burn device broke. The machine will still burn CDs as I made some last night. But I have never ever burned a DVD using Disk Utility (1st tries today).
    Also, is it possible to start the machine using the Apple Care CD as system and repair with that? It seemed unlikely and this machine now takes so long to restart and really start working (2-3 hours) that I do not dare risk it yet. I use the damaged iMac still to contact you here.
    Thanks for any advice..!

    Unfortunately we are probably the only Mac in this desolate corner of North Germany where the inhabitants have always massively opted for Windows as they always go for the cheapest option. As far as I know we are the only Mac owners in a school of over 1500 people with 150 teachers. Had I been able to borrow a Mac, I would have linked it to ours long ago, got our data out and run DiskWarrior from the healthy Mac. The Hamburg techies are extremely expensive as they wrongly assume that anyone with a Mac must be eating off gold plate.
    I wd grab the opportunity to use a normal keyboard, if available. I see u are from California; that's a paradise for available Macs.
    Don't forget that we can't use the normal means of getting a disk to eject as there is no hard drive left worth the name and therefore no system operating, except whatever the system might be (unclear) on the DiskWarrior application,
    but that is totally frozen.
    Your feeling is that I want everything! Yes, another Mac, that would solve the problem. But if you mean that I need help for trifles you are quite wrong. I went through the lists of methods of ejecting disks listed on the web and by Apple before posting the request you have just replied to. And they look OS dependent to me, except perhaps the mouse button technique.
    In any case my first concern is to close that DiskWarrior application to avoid it being damaged before closing the disk, but that looks increasingly impossible.
    So far by my own efforts in this crisis I have largely solved a lot of problems worth at least 3500 dollars in techie bills had they done it. When we started by ringing the firm we bought the iMac from new, they said they could not help us over the jammed user partition problem, and merely provided the address of a data recovery service that would charge "between 2000 and 3000 Euros (3-4000 dollars)for saving the data on the HD". I refused and myself worked out how to hack into the user partition and was able to put most of the work and business data in the Documents folder onto sticks before the HD finally folded. Essentially the holiday pics in iPhoto remain still to do.
    I don't like the idea of having to sacrifice a brandnew DiskWarrior program for 108 Euros but if no one has any suggestions... Pity all this happened one month after our Apple Care 3 yr warranty ended.

  • IMac Intel 2GHZ express problem...

    I have called apple tech support 5 times, since I have apple care, they always help me out, but basically my problem is that at least once a week, I have to do a hard, factory reset of my airport express station in order for my computer iMac Intel 2ghz, to connect to the internet. I have the fastest internet package for DSL and when it tries to connect to the network, it says " there was an error connecting to __________ " and then when I try to open the airport admin options I scan and scan and scan and no network is found. Then my computer crashes almost 100% of the time. So then I reset the airport and then rename my settings and get everything working, and voila, no problems for about 5 days and then again same problem. I have a G4 PPC on the same network, and it has "NEVER" had any problems with the airport express, my settings are G/N and channel is automatic, no password, no security all default settings except for the name. I just bought this iMac the firmware on the express is up to date, and just to be safe I downloaded the 10.4.10 combo updater, from apples support site and reinstalled it. I ran Tech Tool, on my system as well as cocktail and all is fine with my system. I mentioned to apple that there may be a problem with my airport card in my new computer but they denied it on the phone dismissing it saying it was a software issue not a hardware issue and refused to take my computer back for diagnosing all the while I am training to be an apple technician myself, and this has really got me stumped, I love apple and my iMac but I need my internet working! Please any help would be appreciated!!!

  • Problems sharing screen w/ iMac Intel and macbook

    'm new to networking, so I hope someone can lead me in the right direction. I have a new iMac Intel running Leopard. I also have a MacBook2,1 running Tiger. They both are on my Airport Extreme network.
    I can screen share from my iMac to my MacBook, but not the other way around. When I try to access my iMac from my MacBook I get the dreaded beachball for about a minute then it won't connect. I have "file sharing" and "screen sharing" enabled in my system prefs on my iMac.
    Am I missing something here?

    I have a similar problem. I screen share with my friend who's across the Atlantic ocean. We both have Macbooks (mine is a Pro).
    I can share my screen to his account but not the other way around. The option to share his screen is always grayed out. HOWEVER, if he quits his account and logs into say the "Guest" account, all of a sudden I can share his screen.
    All the Sys Prefs options are the same for both accounts, so I have no idea why this is happening. We both upgraded our previous Tiger installations so I'm not sure why his is causing so much trouble.
    Last thing: last nite I was able to share his screen but NOT by click on the little icon at the bottom of iChat. A totally different, long horizontal bar showed up on the screen asking me to choose either sharing my screen or his. If anyone can point me back to that option, I would appreciate it because it was the only thing that actually did work.

    It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

  • Intel iMac RAM install problems

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a new 17" intel iMac with the standard 512MB memory. Looking to add more RAM, I bought a third party 512MB chip and put it into my computer. It worked fine for as long as I had it on. After I shut it down and booted the next day, my iMac did not recognize the new RAM. I took the RAM out and put it back in and it worked until i shut it down again. Since then, I have had to take the door off for the computer to see the RAM. Anyway, my question is has anyone else had this problem, and is there a solution, other than buy expensive Apple RAM.
    iMac intel Core Duo 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    What brand RAM is it and who did you buy it from?
    There is no such thing as "Apple RAM" as Apple gets it from a variety of sources. I use Patriot RAM in both my first gen G5 iMac and my BlackBook with no problems at all. Others have used Crucial, G.SKILL, Mushkin, Corsair, Samsung, OWC as well as a ton of others with similar success.

  • Intel iMac airport connection problems

    Hello,
    My new intel iMac connected up to my 802.11g 3come wireless modem/router fine, the strength in excellent (always full or nearly full) but the connection is very very intermittent.
    It will only work for a minute or so but then the internet will go down on the machine for about 30 seconds, then come back on.
    The network file sharing also goes down. Other Windows PCs on the network do not have this problem.
    I have tried the following, none has had any effect:
    [*]Turning off all other network PCs
    [*]Disabling all encryption on the router
    [*]Using different browsers
    [*]Calling Apple support - first they asked me to adjust some networking options, we also setup a new network connection. They then sent me a replacement iMac - it's exactly the same
    The firmware is up-to-date on the router.
    I am aware there are similar posts in the forum, but other people's problems seem to be to do with their speed. None of the solutions have helped.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for your support.
    Davood

    I wasted hours and hours trying to figure out a similar problem with my machine. Apple Support denied all knowledge of known issues, but then I came across a discussion titled "Will Apple react to the Airport problem with the new iMac (Intel C2D)?" - you will find it on the 5th page (at the moment) of these topics.
    It is one of the largest threads I have seen in these forums (113 replies). I tried to add an update, but curiously the thread is now locked - Apple are obviously keen to censor further discussion on the subject.
    Apple do now acknowledge that there is a problem with Airport and the Intel-based Macs. They are supposedly working on a fix, but when that will come is not clear.
    I would urge everyone with Airport issues to pester Apple Support until they solve this problem.
