IMac Safari Unresponsive

After the update, Safari is still unresponsive, anyone else have this problem?

As with many Safari updates, a third party add on may been compatible with the prior version of Safari but not the update.
Troubleshooting help here >  Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And go to Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
It would really help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari.

  • Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available.  Apps trouble too.  Help?

    Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow.  There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download.  Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right.  When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  I only bought the IPAD 2 in June! 

    Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately.  Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Spent some time trying to find a Safari download site with no success.  Where is the iMac Safari download site?

    Spent some time trying to find a Safari download site with no success.  I found lots of Safari sites but no Safari download site.  Where is the iMac Safari download site?

    (The following does not apply to users of Lion OS 10.7 or later)
    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
    N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
    (If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
    Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
    Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard can be downloaded from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422
    Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard can be downloaded from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
    Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
    Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up.  If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4, Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 4.1.3, Leopard uses Safari 5.0.6,  and Snow Leopard uses Safari 5.1.x. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    (Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari  can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them, and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
    You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for  problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
    Home/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
    Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

  • Why is Safari unresponsive since OSX Lion switch

    The big idea for OS X lion is finger control - so in switching my iMac  (24" 2.8 GHz Core Duo ) I also bought a wireless trackpad. However, SAFARI at times appears to freeze and fails to respond to finger moves. Connecting the mouse again and still I get poor or no scrolling abilities. Is anyone else experiencing this ?
    The just released firmware update isn't for my iMac.
    Using Firefox appears to work better - less periods of pausing or unresponsiveness - but both still leave me trying to make the scroll bars appear to then be able to click and drag down the arcticle. (also, clicking out and back in to the window also sometimes causes the page to refresh lower down - but all these tricks are just painful workarounds)

    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.

  • Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari

    I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?

    I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
    documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

  • Macbook OS 10.5.4 running painstakingly slow, Safari unresponsive

    I recently had to wipe my hard drive clean on my Macbook and start over new because it refused to start up and I called Apple support where they informed me it was a disk problem so they had me wipe out everything on my disk and reinstall the software.
    I updated everything soon after this and everything worked fine. But after about a week everything started to run very slow. Safari also is mostly unresponsive. Sometimes I can get it to work but it takes close to 5 minutes for a page to load and for the most part it will never load at all and just freeze and most applications quit unexpectedly.
    As a long time PC user and this being my first Mac my original thought was virus but Macs don't get them....right? I attempted to run a computer scan just to be sure but the second I started it multiple times it quit on me immediately
    Any tips that I can do myself instead of dropping it off at my local apple store?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    There are no Mac viruses.
    Any tips that I can do myself
    You can do this!
    You profile indicates you are running 10.5.4. You need to update your Safari software ASAP. Go to the Apple Menu/Software Updates. When the installations are finished repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    For Safari...
    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.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Relaunch Safari. If Safari is still has problems, go to the Safari 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.

  • Since latest update, Safari unresponsive when trying to view different images when online shopping,

    Since latest software update on my iPad 3, Safari is unresponsive when trying to zoom or open other images, when online shopping.

    Tap Settings > Safari
    Tap to clear History, Cookies, and Data.
    Then reset the iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Mail & safari unresponsive

    both mail and safari only show the spinning icon Internet Explorer and Firefox still working. Mail will connect to mail server and download but when I try to compose new message or click on account settings etc. it "hangs" I have rebuilt permissions etc. but no good.... can mail and safari be reinstalled seperately from OS?

    Hi Singletree,
    You can use Pacifist to extract and install just those applications
    from your install disks.
    Howeveer, the application is rarely the problem.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your
    apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your
    problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
    This account is just for test, do nothing further
    with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an
    admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Will there be a possibility to stream music from iMac safari to airport express via airplay - from youtube for example?

    hi, i want to stream music from my imac to my airport express station via airplay. but not only with itunes, but also from safari (youtube) or other programs like games etc.
    is there - or will there be - a way?
    thx
    monimor

    Thank you for the answer, but airfoil is pay-software. on ipad and iphone there´s airplay for allmost every application - without extra payment.
    i wonder, why apple provides airplay only for mobile-devices.

  • Yahoo mail script -safari unresponsive

    We are regularly getting a message saying that a Yahoo mail script is making Safari (3.1.2 for Mac) unresponsive. We are running Leopard 10.5.5. Any solutions??? Thanks.

    In addition to being unresponsive, it seems to slow down the Macbook as a whole, but we can't find a remedy. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Why would my intel iMac become unresponsive shortly after booting?

    I have an Intel Imac 5,1 (late 2006) 20" with a new 500GB hd and 3GB ram. I'm running 10.6 and adobe cs 5.5. If i wake my computer from "sleeping" the screen comes on for a period of about 8 seconds then goes blank and unresponsive to peripheral input. To correct this,  I have set the computer to never sleep. Now the problem has progressed so that when I try to boot the machine up, it will chime and invariably show the spinning gear (as it would during normal startup) however, after a few seconds, the screen goes completely blank and the computer won't continue the booting process. I have been able to get it to boot as normal on occasion, but not reliably and I'm worried when I shut it down that I won't be able to get it started again. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    I have tried resetting PRAM & SMC for this iMac to no result....

    The startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If necessary, click Repair Disk. You will need your install disc.
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, see Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window.
    Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • Safari unresponsive after QuickTime

    After watching any video on QuickTime safari is unresponsive; it's like it is frozen. I have to close Safari from the multitasking section, restart it, and then continue using safari. Has anyone else experience this problem?

    there was another thread about this maybe a week ago so im sure others are experiencing it I have not experienced it..

  • Old iMac & Safari

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. I haven't updated my computer and apps for some time because I've been away from home for several years. I'm back now but I can't seem to update anything. More specifically, I want to upgrade/update my Safari so that I can visit places without them constantly asking me to upgrade my Safari.
    My current iMac is the first generation of Intel Core Duos (from back in 2007?). 2GHz and 2GB memory. The Mac OSX is 10.4.11.
    My Safari is 4.1.3.
    I asked for a software update and it told me I have nothing to update.
    Which version of Safari can I download so that I can view content with reasonable success?
    Thanks!

    None on Mac OS X 10.4.11. You need to either buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or switch browsers.
