Mac OS X Lion & Safari

Lots of freezes/crashes - does anyone have a solution? Everything was fine with Snow Leopard.

Hi, do you have any old pug-ins in Internet plug-ins?
Can you download another Browser like FireFox?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

My Safari browser won't open. I had upgraded to Mac OS X Lion. What do I do?

My iMac is 2008 built. In March 2012, I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion. Since then I had problems after problems. Since the computer was getting slower and slower, I thought the Prosoft Drive Genious 3 would be useful. When I installed it on iMac, it caused more problems. I removed the Prosoft Drive Genius 3 from the internal iMac hard drive and tried to install it on an external drive.
Now I can't access Safari. It doesn't open. I had to download Mozilla Firefox browser. I don't see any links on Apple site for the latest Safari browser for Mac. What do I do to download Safari.

Thank you very much for your email and the post. I copied the segments of the crash report from the Console and pasted and edited in the TextEdit. I don't know what shutdownStall etc is.

Flash has stopped working in Google Chrome. Mac OS X Lion, Chrome 22, Flash works in Safari & Firefo

Flash player no longer working in Google Chrome -- Chrome Version 22.0.1229.79, Mac OS X Lion. Flash works fine in Safari and Firefox. Pages with flash freeze -- can't scroll (e.g, nytimes.com); on youtube, sound plays but the video windows are black spaces. This problem appeared Sept. 26, 2012. I was running Snow Leopard; updated to Lion in hopes this would resolve the problem, but the problem is still there. If I go to chrome:plugins and disable Flash, I can scroll around nytimes.com and the flash box/window just tells me to install flash.
I have tried: Clearing Cache and all other data in Chrome. Going to the Library in Finder and deleting the Google folder from Library>Caches, then uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling it. None of these have fixed the problem.

Are you using a 2nd monitor? It appears to be related to that, and somebody somewhere is working on it. When I disconnected my external monitor, the problem disappeared on my laptop; apparently there will be an update to Chrome -- though not necessarily a stable one yet -- beginning next week to address the problem. See here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=152525

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Mac os x lion wont boot after an EFI upgrade and i am unable to reinstall using recovery hd.

i have macbook pro 2011 mid . it came preinstalled with lion (10.7.x)
I updated my mac os x lion for an efi upadte (i don't remember the version but it was there in update list) ,java and safari . After downloading it restarted. i heard a beep sound and system restart twice. And now whenever i start my laptop i saw an Apple logo beneath it there is a status bar which progresses very little for 2sec approx and system shutdowns.
I have backed up my data using Single user Mode. i have a bootcamp drive of 35 gb and it working fine.
when try to reinstall os using recovery hd, after accepting all agreements and connecting to wifi, what i saw was there are three drives Recovery,Bootcamp and Macintosh and all were locked. i chose macintosh (214 used and 500 approx free) for setup and prompted for password to unclock it. i filled the password and again chose macintosh for setup and clicked install. Within a fraction of seconds i got an error "error while trying to prepare for installation" or something like that.
is there any way to fix my macbook pro? what kind of problem is this Hardware or software("My Vote")?
what should i do to fix it?

Mac OS X Lion freezes

Hi,
Since I've upgraded to Lion I have problems with Mac OS X Lion(10.7.2) and same problems occurred with previous versions of Lion.
I was thinking that it was a problem with Microsoft's RDC but it still freezes without this application being started.
So, I have upgraded all of the possible software for my MacBookPRO
15" - Early 2011, i7 2.2, 8GB ram, AMD Radeon HD 6750M / 1GB, 512Apple SSD
Still it freezes, and I have narrowed the applications to (at least those were running all the time when it is happening)
Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Office Outlook.
Thing here is that in the beginning I can switch between applications, but as soon as I try to quit them all apps are having status (Not responsive) from the Force Quit menu.
Only thing I can do is moving my cursor.
It never happened that it freezes too.
Any help/suggestions would be more than welcome
Thanks!

I had a terrible time with Lion freezing on me multiple times per day, until....
Last Saturday (Feb. 11, 2012) I made sure my HD was backed up in Time Capsule on my brand new LaCie 500GB storage device. For good measure I also cloned the HD using Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7032/carbon-copy-cloner
but I did not need to use it.
Then I started up from my old copy of Snow Leopard in order to access Disk Utility from it (Hold "C"; Restart). I completely erased the HD on my iMac using Disk Utility then reinstalled the latest backup from Time Machine (I did not install Snow Leopard). Ever since then I have had no problems with freezing. I guess it could be a fluke but so far, so good. Websites also seem to load a lot faster now.
I also got rid of Perian. Wheather that had anything to do with it, i don't know. I only did it because someone else in these forums suggested it.
BTW,
I had Sophos for a while but deleted it last fall and replaced it with ClamX-AV. This was on the advice of my local Mac store. Apparently Sophos can really gum things up.

Mac OS X Lion Problems (Sound, Resolution, Missing Partition, and Crashes)

Ohia everybody! So recently I installed Mac OS X Lion (GM) on my Mac Mini. It's been installed for about 2 weeks, but I quickly noticed a couple of problems with it.
Problem 1 - Screen Resolution:
When I had Snow Leopard installed and I held alt to switch into Windows, the menu that appeared to let you switch partitons resolution was correct. Now it seems to be 800x600. Same thing with the boot screen with the Apple logo. When the actual OS is booted up, the resolution is correct (1600x900). Why is it doing this with Lion and now when I had Snow Leopard?
Problem 2 - Windows Partition:
Before I installed Lion, I had a Windows partition set up using BootCamp. I was able to see the Windows partition on my Macs desktop as well as my Mac partiton. Now it doesn't show up at all, and when I go to Disk Utility, it shows up as BOOTCAMP, and its greyed off. When I click on it and try to mount it, it just said that it couldn't be mounted. Nothing more. I can still boot into it just fine, but I can't view files, which is quite useful when transfering files between the operating systems.
Problem 3 - Speakers Buzzing:
On Snow Leopard, when I went to play a sound, the speakers were completely quiet and the sound came out nicely. Now, the speakers will be quiet, and when I get a notification or something, the speakers will have a quiet buzzing sound and will continue buzzing for a few minutes after the sound is over. When I play another sound, they will start buzzing again. It never used to do this before Lion, so I'm sure its not the speakers. Hopefully someone has any info on this because I'm clueless.
Problem 4 - Safari Crashes:
Last problem! Sometimes on Lion (not on Snow Leopard), if I leave Safari open for a little bit, it will randomly crash. It usually doesn't do it while I'm browsing, but if I'm uploading pictures or videos and I just leave it open, I will come back to my computer and it will say safari crashed.
Note:
I always keep my computer up to date, and have googled all of these problems before with no help. Hopefully someone get help me fix any of these problems.

So I am not the only one with this issue. The sound of my imac g5 sounds buzzing as well. I am hoping for a fix from Apple soon.

Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.
