Poor Pathetic Safari :( can't keep up with the big boys

     Safari is the most pathetic product Apple has to offer. not only is the slow to load, but it can't seem to stop crashing. If your going to use a cloud based system that all your products can interactively communicate and utilize the common data, wouldn't you want to ensure the one product that is the hub of all things on the web was perfected and not so tempermental? get it together, this product has been such a problem. Surely there are people over in Apple land that know how to get it to function like the big boys.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. 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).
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.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Blazeds client can't keep up with realtime updates = discard?

    Hi all,
    I'm doing an application that provides realtime data to users via blazeds, the flex client uses a long pooling mechanism to get stream of data from the server. The question that my team has is, if multiple clients connected to a topic and one of the clients couldn't keep up with the rate of data produced, will the message be kept in blazeds until that client can retrieve it? If it is, then this will create a bottle neck for that particular client and will burden the server as more and more messages have to be kept in the server. Is there anyway to set an expiry time on a message and discard those messages?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am also facing tghe same problem today. I cannot believe I
    was unable to find a single help on this. i've been trying many of
    the options but things are getting worse and worse. Now I can't
    publish from Dreamweaver and Contribute also!! Why Adobe doesn't
    support the ones who upgrade their software?

    she's back, and is no longer able to publish. I'm not sure it's
    related. The error message is:
    "Contribute encountered a network or file system error.
    Please try the operation again, and contact the administrator if
    the error continues to occur."
    The problem started yesterday, but briefly corrected itself.
    Now she can't publish at all. I have asked her to go step-by-step
    through the process of editing files and I can see the following
    activity on the server:
    -- She opens the file (index.html) and the following file
    appears on the server: index.html.LCK
    -- She hits "publish" and the following file appears on the
    server: index.html.new
    -- Then the error message appears for her.
    When she closes the page, the index.html.LCK page disappears,
    but the index.html.new sticks around.
    Interestingly, the .new file is 0k.
    We turned on I/O logging, but all it does is confirm that the
    PUT isn't happening. However, there are lots of complaints about
    missing files on the local drive. They run Active Directory on
    their network, and I'm curious if there could be some kind of
    mapping problem with their user settings directories, and
    Contribute is getting hung up when it tries to PUT the changes.
    I'd appreciate any help troubleshooting this issue or any
    tips before I call Adobe. :)
    Thanks!

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

    I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account.  How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

    Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Lion / Safari 5.1 has issues with the pinch/zoom (embedded links don't zoom correctly)

    Ever since upgrading to Lion Safari 5.1 has issues with the pinch/zoom.  Any embedded link does not zoom in proportion to the surrounding page and it makes it unusable. (the embedded link zooms much more).  Any ideas?  This makes safari almost unusable for many webpages.
    Is there a fix to this?  Or can I consider uninstalling 5.1 and rolling Safari back to 5.05?  Not sure if this is a Lion issue or a Safari issue.  Everything worked great prior to Lion. 
    (I have to say, Lion has been more annoying than beneficial to this point!)

    Here are 2 screenshots of the issue (before and after a zoom)  see how the add in the first one that shows 25% off in the first picture zoomed too large after the zoom to see the whole thing?

    Hi Lisa 1952,
    What have you done so far to try to fix it? I've tried rebooting several times and it did not work. Tried connecting to iTines but it does not recognize the iPhone.
    My other iPhone 4s restarted successfully after the updgrade but some apps don't function properly. It automatically closes while in use.
    Apple please help. I know it's the weekend but I need the other iPhone to work. Can't use sim with a diffrent phone because it's a micro sim!

    CC is for retail use with 20 GB of storage space, CCT is where number of seats are purchased & assigned by one program admin where each seat gets 100GB of storage space.
    You can not have both the CC & team in one account as it will only provide you added storage space of 120 GB but you can activate the CC any of them or either of them twice as CC is based on Adobe ID.

  • Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

    Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
    Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
    Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following:  Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
    Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
    Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
    Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date.  This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

  • HT201335 Can i use airplay with the apple tv and airport express without an internet connection? Basically Set it up as a closed network?

    I was told I could set a local network with the airport express, apple Tv, and my iPad to stream videos or pictures to a TV for a presentation.
    No internet connection is available at the location.
    Is that possible? Or do I need to access itunes homeshare with an internet connection to make this work?
    I've set it up at home where I have an internet connection and it works fine but I want to move the setup to my church for a class. The data I'm using is stored on my ipad.
    I know I can do this wired with the HDMI adapter but would like to do it wireless.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ok so we now have a solution to the problem.   A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped.  Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable  (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express.  In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned.  We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name.  We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router.  I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name.  I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
    No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare. 
    Hope this helps.
