Mac Quad is starting to freeze when I try to go to links on internet pages

My relatively new Quad( aren't they all ) is having some sort of internet problem where it will freeze randomly when I go to a link on a web page. If I go to yahoo it won't go to mail. Other sites it won't go to live chat. Ebay does the same. Sometimes it wont even go to the sight itself, or I'll have to back door it through google. It got so bad last Sunday I ended up spending seven and a half hours on the phone with Apple and Comcast ( my cable ISP ) and on the computer doing partial and then complete reboots only to have the problem corrected by switching the ethernet port and dumping some file, which after all that time I really don't remember what the file was or which of the two was the fix. When I finally got back into my mail I tried to type and found my keyboard stopped working. It was plugged into my Dell monitor so I switched to another usb cable and it worked. But.... then I switched back to the old cable and it also worked,(These are top quality cables). In the automotive biz this type of mystery was usually caused by an intermittent short where circuits do bizarre things. Are we thinking motherboard problem here ???

In reference to the cable problem, could it have been the cable all along as it finally died two days later. Belkin says no way, but I'm wondering if going to a link or a different page would make the cable more prone to short out due to increased load or something. It is just too coincidental that the cable finally gave out just as I got the computer working correctly. This was a new Belkin Gold series cable and I replaced with the same. It hooks to my monitor and the keyboard does also. Can't be the monitor connections as replacing the cable solved the problem. The tech at Belkin refused to believe that one of their cables could even fail, much less cause the problem, so he wasn't much help!

Safari freezes when i try to open a link off of my facebook page.

Hi everybody, I just recently had a little brother do a facebook quiz "spongebob" quiz on my laptop without my knowledge. After this being posted on my profile, every time i try to click on a facebook link off my page, it freezes safari and i have to force quit the application. Safri works fine as long as i don't go on my facebook page and click on a link, is there some kind of spy ware/virus on safari? any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Mike

HI Mike and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try maintenance.
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.
There are no Mac viruses in the wild and I doubt it's malware. Try emptying the cache and reset Safari and see if that helps. Often times, just restarting your Mac can help.

When I try to send a link to a page from Safari, I get a message saying that sending the message to the server failed. It places a copy in the outbox. All other email and safari functions work properly. Ipad 2 IOS 7.1

My Ipad2 works fine except when I try to email myself a link to a safari webpage. I get an error message saying that the message failed to connect to the server. It says that a copy of the message has been left in the outbox. I cannot get the message from the outbox. All other email and safari functions work as expected.
I have cleared data and cookies, powered down, and done a reset. Nothing seems to help.

Typing in additional text seems to get the job done. This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest. Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
Thanks.

Mac Mail Freezes When I try to Delete Trash

Mac Mail Freezes when I try to delete trash. Spinning wheel of death goes for 10 - 15 minutes and freezes the entire computer. Please Help!

BDAqua -& Thoma_r - I did a safe boot, did repair permissions. 2 of the "Permission Differs" messages:
Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/ProApps/Internal Plug-Ins/BrowserKit/iLife.bkplugin/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrwxr-xr-x . and around 30 more... Nothing about MacMail that I could tell.
There are 8 messages:
Group differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/CodeResources", should be 80, group is 0.
Went into Console and was very confused as the dates start 2000 and ends at 2010 and nothing I could decipher as MacMail.
Is this MacMail?

my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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(s)?
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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off or even turn Ipad off.

Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off, or turn Ipad off.

FWIW, think I found a solution to this problem elsewhere on this forum. Go to Settings / General / Accessibility on your iPad. Check to see if you have enabled "Bold Text" and if so turn that off. The iPad now restarts. In my case (and others) things are now back to normal with iWorks file management functions.
I can now rename files, delete them, and do other file management tasks in all iWorks apps on iPad without the apps freezing or freezing the iPad. Would like to give credit to the user who posted that but can't find it at the moment - he claimed that an Apple Tech suggested the fix when he called about it, so they know about it and hopefully will get fixed eventually.

I have a powerbook G-4 15 inch, It wont boot up and the display only works on the first try. it gets to the apple screen and freezes, when i try to restart theres no display. Help please, whats the issue here?

I left it running over night, it was running perfectly, in the morning the screen was black. i tried to restart it and got no display but i can hear the machine running. so i put away for several months, plug it in, charge the battery, it boots, i have a display, it loads the desktop and freezes. when i try to restart it theres no display. the last time i tried, i started it, i got to the apple screen and nothing. whats the issue here? please help.

Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Mail freezes when displaying or deleting messages from Linked In

Recently when I open the Mail program the computer freezes up with the spinning pinwheel. It will freeze for a few minutes and then usually come back to life. I've noticed that if any email from Linked In is selected, or deleted, or opened then I am certain to get the freeze. Usually when I try to delete a Linked In email there will be an error message that the email could not be deleted after the Mac wakes up from the freeze. Any ideas?

I cleared the Console log file. Launched Mail. Selected two emails that I expected to cause trouble (from Linked In). Deleted them. The spinning pinwheel came up. After a couple of minutes Mail started responding, but I didn't see anything happen in the log file. I selected another email and deleted it. The spinning pinwheel came up again. After a while I got an error message about deleting the first two files (unable to delete) and there was activity in the log file. Over the next few minutes I continued to get episodes of spinning pinwheel and period activity in the log file. Here is the file:

Iphoto freezes when I try to open it.

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai? If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files. I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

Is anyone having trouble with there messenger app. The message freezing when i try to use the magnifying glass

My Iphone 5s has recently started freezing when i try to send a message/ use my magnifying glass. PLEASE HELP

Hi Oli_boss,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it is frustrating when you cannot use the Messages application as you would expect. The first thing I would suggest would be to open the multitasking screen and quit the Messages app. After It quits, relaunch it fresh and test. If the Messages application is still having the same performance issues, try restarting the iPhone. Those steps and others can be found in the following article.

Safari still FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!

Originally this Thread was called: Safari 4.0.3 PPC = FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!
Wish I didn't specify the version, so that I could have continued it all as One Thread after the next update, 4.0.4... This Discussion Board doesn't allow the Author of the Top to Edit the Title of the Title of the Topic... Now that Safari 4.0.4 Update has been released, when people see 4.0.3 in the Topic Name, they might be more likely to ignore it. Lesson learnt...
Please review the Original Topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10469114 and Reply HERE http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=876 so it could be unified as One Thread...
The latest:
After Sleeping my PB G4 during the night, the problem still exist. After Restart, the problem is gone... I'll continue to watch this, and hopefully it won't be happening too often...

So, I thought that starting a New Topic, without a specifying the Old Version 4.0.3 would be a safer bet...
Then you should close the old topic by marking it as Answered or Solved; don't leave them open.
If Safari still freezes, try this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the problem continues.
