Issues with web browsers

Over the past week or so, I have gradually been encountering issues with all three of the browsers that I have installed on all my Apple computers.
I have the following three browsers installed:
Safari (version 5.1.5)
Firefox (version 11.0)
Google Chrome (Version (17.0.963.83)
On all the following computers:
iMac 2.8 Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X (10.5.8)
iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.6.8)
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.6.8)
It seems that the issues are more noticeable when accessing sites like Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Yahoo or Yahoo Mail... (which makes me wonder if the issues are possibly linked to Flash?) Either the sites don't load or load partially (always quite slowly) and I keep having to refresh/reload the page to hopefully get the full pages to load. But even that doesn't get me anywhere most of the time and I am left with blank pages or partially loaded pages. Today I also noticed issues while trying to use Skype where I kept having connection issues. Not sure if those were linked to the issues with the browsers.
FYI, I keep all my Mac computers and applications up to date with automatic updates and am not sure whether these issues are Mac related, application/browser related or even possibly ISP related? Although when trying to assess my ISP connection speed via speedtest.net it appears to connect at the normal usual rate, both for download (about 13 Mb/s) and upload (about 6 Mb/s) from all three computers.
I have not really seen any other similar recent post on the forums here but did find a post where it was recommended to unchecked the box on the info window to open both Safari and Firefox in 32-bit mode, but it didn't fix anything for me.
I've never had issues with these computers before and they were all running perfectly fine when accessing the internet about a week ago. I am not using any anti-virus software on any of the three computers and I have not installed any new software or made any changes to the computers recently other than scheduled updates. They are all working fine when using applications (MS Word or Excel, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom...) not accessing the internet.
Anyone else has experienced similar issues? Anyone know of a solution? Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Laurent ...
Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ...
Quit all your browsers.
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
(Use Safari for a test). Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
When it comes to browsers, emptying the cache more often can help.
For all your Macs.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
More about OpenDNS here.

  • Hierarchy issue with Web Intelligence Report

    Hi All,
    We are facing an issue with OLAP Universe where we are using hierarchy for cost center in reports.
    BEx query shows correct data in RSRT with hierarchy nodes.
    We have built a Universe on top of this BEx Query.
    We are using couple of nodes of cost enter hierarchy in WebI report but if we keep more than one node in WebI query, data comes double (probably because of duplicate rows). Instead if I keep just one of the node in WebI query, WebI report returns correct data.
    Please suggest, why such behavior with OLAP universe and how to resolve this?
    Best Regards,
    Ashish

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I am little confused on how to check SQL generated for OLAP WebI Query.
    But other reports on same universe behave same way and I'll give a try to another universe but I don't expect it to behave in different way. I saw a setting for relational Universes like restriction on duplicate rows but the same is not present in case of OLAP Universe.
    Do you know how WebI behaves with BEx hierarchies?
    There has to be some setting to make it work...
    Best Regards,

  • Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

    Hi All,
    I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
    Any idea???
    regards

    Hi Manoj,
    1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very    large data.
    2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
    Hope this will help,

  • Issue with web part connections : won't display data when the lookup field is a calculated field

    Hello,
    I have a list A with a calculated field named A.A. I have a list B that has a lookup field to list A, to field A.A, named B.A. I add the two lists in a wiki page and I try to connect them - I.E., select a row from A and the rows from B would be automatically
    filtered.
    The B\Connections\get filtered values from A and select Provider:A.A, Consumer B.A doesn't bring any results. If I do the exact opposite: A\Connections\get filtered values from B and select Provider:B.A, Consumer A.A  works fine. But, this is not what
    I want.
    If the A.A isn't calculated field, everything works fine. So, it looks like there's an issue with calculated fields acting as consumers.
    Is this a known issue and are there any know workarounds? A workaround is to abandon calculated field and  use sharepoint designer workflow.
    Thank you
    Christos

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had issues about connecting web parts.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, everything works well.
    Create a custom list named List A, add a caculated column named A.A(Formula: =Title).
    Create a custom list named List B, add a lookup column named B.A(List A: A.A).
    Create a page and then insert the two list view web parts.
    Edit page, select List B->Connections->Get Filtered Values From List A.
    Then I can filter the List B.
    I recommend to create another caculated column and get filter value form it to check whether it works.

  • PC is blocked after doing a manual or automatic update of my anti-virus SW (VIPRE) when firefox is open. No issue with other browsers or is firefox is not active

    I just switched over to Mozilla Firefox letest version 3.6.13 (before I used Google Chrome). It's running fine BUT ....
    if firefox is open and at the same time there is an (automatic or manual) update of my anti-virus SW (I use VIPRE) the update is done but afterwards my PC is blocked. Looking to the running processes I see that "System Idle Process" takes 98%. I can't do anything else with my PC, it reacting VERY slowly. To stop it I have to END firefox using "ctl-alt-del". It makes me nervous.
    With other browsers (used IE and Google Chrome) or in case I dont use firefox there is no issue at all.

  • Issue with Web Service Security

    Dear Forum Members and Readers,
    I am a beginner to Web Services, and facing an issue with WS-Security.
    My issue seemingly is quite specific to my projects though, It will be great if you can provide me your views.
    Context Description:
    I am developing a Java Web Service application that is deployed on JBoss Application Server.
    This application will communicate with two other applications those are not deployed in same JBoss Application Server.
    These 2 applications are third party applications, one is C++ based web services and other is Java based web services.
    My application gives a call to Third Party Application1 and receives the response back form it. It then passes this received response to Third Party Application 2.
    Issue Description:
    I now need to enable https paradigm among these 3 applications. (I need to implement web service security model here)
    I started with looking in to JBoss specific WS-Security but found it not suitable in my case, as it requires to configure both the client and server. I have the control over my application but not on other 2 third party applications.
    To this extent, I am unable to identify a solution that can address my issue.
    Can anybody please provide me with initial thoughts or any reference material that might help me to give this a start.
    Any clue will be highly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Actually, my SOAP messages contains some critical information that needs to be encrypted.You think that its critical information however your third party doesn't. If they would have had same thought they would have enabled the security. As I said earlier, you will have to discuss this with them.
    Another solution (however I don't know the viability in your case) could be to deploy one component before each third party service. Your web service will call this new component (Which is installed in their environment i.e. local to third party web service) and new component will forward the request to third party service. Now you can apply security/encryption/decryption between your web service and your component.
    I have had a look in to XMLEncrytion using that I can encrypt my SOAP messages but I wonder how would other tools decrypt that.My above comments answers this.
    Is there anyway I can encrypt my SOAP messages (without having to customize third party tools) in this scenario ??My above comments answers this.

  • URGENT: Tomcat, Connection Pool - Issue with web.xml & server.xml

    Folks,
    I am trying to connect to a MS SQL database using Tomcat/JSP but having issues. The code that I am using is as follows:
    Context ic = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/test");
    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    I have added the following code to my Server.xml:

    maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
    username="DB_AW_DATA" password="tester" driverClassName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"

    The error message that I am getting is as follows:

    What confuses me is that I have placed the following files in Tomcat\common\lib...
    mssqlserver.jar
    msbase.jar
    msutil.jar
    I think this is purely an issue with how I configured server.xml and web.xml
    In the Tomcat documentation it states to put the code in the server.xml - but nested inside the Context element. This is something that I have not done as I am clear what the Context should be..
    Can someone assist...
    <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"> ???
    what should be the path and the docBase.
    I have deployed the following application:
    http://localhost:8080/SCWAPP/index.jsp
    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL SUPPORRT

    you should put the code you typed in server.xml into context.xml
    in the META-INF folder and this will fix your problem.
    the latest tomcat docs detail what to do.

  • Issue with web access in view administrator console after connection server 5.5 installation.

    Hi All,
    I am  trying to bring up my setup with ESXi 5.5 and vcenter 5.5 U2. I made a DNS server and made two 2008 R2 machines and launched vcentre and connection manager on them.
    After installing connection server 5.5, I am unable to open the web UI by clicking "view administrator console" icon on my desktop! I installed proper certificated and iis module too and confirmed that my https certificate is properly working. (snapshot attached, filename - snapshot_view_webpage.jpeg)
    I google for the possible error and tried below mentioned links but none of them worked.
    1.)    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2004759
    Corrected this error but still system is in same shape and i am unable to get the console's admin webpage.
    2.)    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2001277
    In this method, my admin folder  didn't got recreated as the service restart got stuck for a long time and throws error that service restart got time out!!(snapshot attached)
    Can some one please help me to move forward. Please let me know if you need more information from my end.
    Thanks,
    Jeevan

    Since the policy AKS is top in sequence under service selection rule so it should hit for sure. As you wrote that even after disabling the default device admin, then also request is hitting the same and restarting the ACS services resolved the issue. The symptoms of your issue are exactly same as stated in this defect.
    CSCuo93378    Certain browsers cause ACS database corruption
    Due to this issue we have seen cases where request hits the disable and default policies without any reason. Actually accessing ACS via chrome mess around with all the operators in conditions.
    The only workaround is to access all the rules and conditions in supported browser. Ensure all the operators are correct, save the changes and restart the ACS services.
    The issue seems to be fixed in ACS 5.5 patch 5

  • Java issue with web analysis

    Hi,
    Web analysis is taking too long to start on client machines. I had this issue a couple of years ago with java 1.4.10. hyperion came back with a solution to increase the memory java uses on both the server and the client.
    »Xms128m -Xmx256m -Xss2m » in the Java plug-in (Control Panel>Java plug-in>Advanced)
    I cannot see on java 1.5.11 how to add this in. Java 1.5 was meant to make web analysis faster. In some environments it has but in this partilcuar case web analysis is very slow.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a way to make web analysis faster.
    The server environment is unix. Can a cache setting be added to java?
    The client issue is the most pressing one.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan

    Hi,
    Go to Java Control Panel, select the Java tab. You'll see Java Applet Runtime Settings section. Click View and fill the Runtime Parameter with your settings.

    I have absolutely no idea why this is. I havent been able to
    test this in internet explorer, but i'm guessing it will show the
    same error. My question then is, why is it that the code below
    works for one browser and not for another?

    Font Rendering
    Every browser and operating system and browser and operating sytem version (just about) renders text differently. Chrome on Windows is currently the worst at rendering text, since it's using an old Windows API which uses an outdated anti-aliasing algorithm for the text. So text in Chrome on Windows generally looks worse that text drawn in other browser or on other operating systems. Typekit has a 7 part blog post here <http://blog.typekit.com/2010/10/05/type-rendering-on-the-web/> about all the ins and outs of font display in different browsers and operating systems.
    Scroll Effects
    Scroll effects are measured from the top of the browser window. Thus when the height of the browser window differs, even on the same computer, where the top of the browser window is relative to your objects when the page is scrolled all the way to the bottom will differ. Without the URL for your site/page, this is only a guess, but I suspect this is what you're encountering.
    Several customers have asked for an option to set the key position as a distance from the bottom of the browser window rather than always being from the top in order to create items that have a specific final location when a page is scrolled all the way to the bottom, but Muse doesn't currently have that feature.

  • Report Viewer icon rendering issue with web controls

    Hi,
    I have a sample application in ASP.NET 2.0 in which if I have a report viewer control in an aspx page and when I try to browse the page the report renders properly with all icons image also. But in the same application I am having a web user control that is having the report viewer control and I have added this control on another page. Now if I try to browse this page the report is rendered properly but the icon images are not displayed rather as 'X' is displayed indicating images are missing.
    Thanks
    Kajal

    It sounds like the CrystalReportViewer control does not "agree" with the .NET control you are embedding it in. Can you be more specific with the exact steps to duplicate this issue? It would be helpful to know what controls you are using.
    Viewing the source code will be helpful in your troubleshooting. You'll also want to review your IIS logs to see what error are popping up there. It could be that the gifs are being searched for in another location. You may need to make a copy of the crystalreportviewerxx directory in a new location.

  • Security issue with web server plug-in with Weblogic server

    Hi,
    I have a setup where I have an Microsoft IIS setup as the front facing web server and have the WLS IIS plug-in installed on it. At the backend, is two WLS11g managed servers in a cluster.
    I have a JAX-WS client running on HPUX hitting the web service via IIS but I observe a very strange thing. When the service request is rather small, it could pass through IIS and the managed servers could pick up the call and reply correctly. However, when I have a bigger request call (larger payload), it will error out, citing "Unsupported Content-Type: text/html Supported ones are: [text/xml]".
    I have also attempt to put in a TCP/IP Monitor between the client and IIS and it appears that regardless if the call gets through, it seems to consistently got hit with a HTTP error 401.2, follow by a 401.1, and then, the WSDL came back. I am pretty sure that the web services are not secured as I could get the WSDL without any authentication on the managed servers direct from my brower (it did pop the authentication window if I attempt to hit the web services via IIS)
    Anyone has any idea what is going on, the issue seems to be so contradicting...
    Thanks in advance.
