Problems with apps and safari since installing Yosemite

I could have shot myself after installing Maverick when it cam out but after a zillion updates and finally a 100 mile drive to the nearest Apple store and the genius bar it seemed to be working fine. I dreaded installing Yosemite but as I have and iPad mini, and Yosemite is billed to work more harmoniously with that, I did the download. Since then and even following the recent 'update', opening Safari takes forever, I get the rainbow wheel of doom. There is frequently a delay between my typing (about 35 words per minute) and actually seeing the curser and letters on screen, and often webpages just dump. Other times, apps or webpages will just spontaneously pop open. Sometimes Safari can't connect to pages. Not my wifi as if I just choose another page it is fine. I am actually back to using Chrome because I don't seem to have the same problems as with Safari..... go figure. 5 years ago after years of pc's and the frustration of having hardware and software that were specifically made for each other, I thru in the towel and paid the bucks for a MacPro laptop and I loved my first three years. Now, my machine ***** as does Safari!! an Apple app! I feel like I need to debug, but I don't have any thing like MacKeeper on it now (the Genius bar guy took MacKeeper off when I had that visit to solve the Maverick problems). I'm tempted to reinstall it but I read so many posts saying that folks had problems with a virus that they attributed to MacKeeper. So, anyone else having these same problems and can anyone recommend a good cleanup and maintenance software so I can clean this up?

Do not install MacKeeper.
Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
Determine if the same problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Problems with Mail and Safari

Hi,
I'm running OS 10.11 and am having some consistent problems with Mail and Safari on my MacPro Dual 2.66. Here they are:
Sometimes, for no apparent reason, selecting these applications from the dock no longer opens the application (or a new window if already opened), but causes them to be revealed in the finder.
In Safari, when this problem occurs, another symptom seems to be that new windows will ONLY open in a new tab, even though I have preferences set to open links in a new window. If I click on a bookmark within a folder in the bookmark toolbar, Safari will open ALL the bookmarks in the folder in new tabs!!
In Mail, when I open my Inbox, clicking on various messages will highlight (in blue) ALL the messages I'm clicking on, instead of simply displaying the highlighted message in the reader.
The only way to get things back to normal is to reboot my machine, which is getting to be a total drag, especially since this seems to happen fairly often.
One other thing that may be related- if my screen saver is running, and I move the mouse to go to an active screen, the computer will "freeze." It stays like this indefinitely- I figured out that if I press the button on the machine itself it will go to sleep, and I can wake it up and then everything is fine, but I don't understand what's going on.
I have tried using Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, and have used OnyX to clean out my system cache and aall sorts of other stuff, but to no avail.
Is anybody else experiencing any of this? I'm starting to get really frustrated. Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Andrew

Scott,
I had posted earlier that I had Flash payer problems and then QuickTime and PDF preview problems too, on my Intel PowerMac. I could not figure out what the problem was, because fixing permissions and moving plugins did not work. Console indicated that the Quicktime components were not found, with the problem in a webkit pref file somewhere (nil field value). Anyway, I bailed and reinstalled Leopard from a 10.5.0 DVD, and then updated using the combo updater to 10.5.3. Everything worked. Then, after the 'Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 1', it all broke again. This time, repairing permissions resulted in:
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home/lib/jvm.cfg", should be 0, user is 95.
User differs on "System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/classlist" , should be 0, user is 95.
Now it all works again. This is obviously a flaw with the Java update, and also somehow Disk Utility did not find it earlier. Anyway, take a look at reverting the Java update, or manually changing user for those files (I suppose user 0 is root, but maybe it is nobody).
Obscure....

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Problems with WiFi and Safari

I have am having problems with my Wifi/Safari. I connect to my WiFi, by entering my password, yet the padlock icon remains, is this normal? Then, when I try to get onto any website on Safari, it says 'Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.'
I have tried renewing the lease (not that it is a paid connection, this is my own personal Wifi connection), but that doesn't work either.
Any pointers?
Thanks.

Yes the padlock will stay locked and try getting on Youtube and see if that works because this happened to me and Youtube worked then later i found out that the website i had typed in was not a real website i had it typed in wrong so try that and i hope it works.

Ipad 2 with IOS 6 problems with apps and battery

Ok, I had updated my iPad the day of or day after the IOS 6 came out and at first I had no problems with it. Except now, for some reason I am starting to have problems with different apps and with the battery life. First off within 15 minutes, it went down to almost 90% charge with it being a full charge and me hardly using any apps and closing the ones I wasn't using (which was just safari and Facebook open). But the problem I have been having is that I cannot chat with my friends on the Facebook app now because it will show its loading the chat box and then freeze up. With pages and numbers, they seem to take longer than usual to load up which is around 10 seconds or so before I can do anything. I had uninstalled and reinstalled the apps with no effect and tried restarting my iPad. It also seems like my iPad is taking longer to shut down and turn on than usual even though i make sure all the apps are closed before turning it off. (the location services, bluetooth, notifications, FaceTime, messages, and limit ad tracking is all turned off to help with battery life and i don't use them.)Is there any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Problems with Chrome and Safari

About one week ago, I started having some issues with my mid-2012 MBP. After troubleshooting various items, I both reinstalled OSX and then erased the hard drive and reinstalled OSX. As far as I can tell, most of the minor issues were taken care of.
Two issues persist.
1. The thumbnail photos that accompany status updates in my Facebook News Feed are not showing up. It's either blank, or a broken photo symbol. This is happening intermittently in both Chrome and Safari. I should add, since the latest install of OSX, Chrome and Adobe Flash have been the only things I have downloaded. And the issue remained in Safari after the fresh install and before downloading Chrome, so I know this issue isn't Chrome related. (It also happens with the Test user profile I have in which there are no other programs.)
2. Along with (1), both Chrome and Safari have been partially or fully freezing. Again, this is intermittently. When the browsers freeze up, the Activity Monitor shows both Chrome and Safari as using over 100% of the CPU. It does not resolve itself in Chrome and requries a force quit. Safari has been resolving itself.
Like I said, I have already erased the hard drive and reinstalled OSX. I have also ran the Hardware Test and it found nothing; and my S.M.A.R.T. status is Verified. I have also reset the PRAM and resent the SMC.
Additionally, the newly downloaded Chrome is running as it is when downloaded from the site. That is, no extra plug-ins or extensions.
Anyone have any ideas about what the issues could be?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Problems with iChat and Safari

Yesterday I got to work and started up my beloved iMac G5, but iChat would not open and it gives me the following note: The application iChat quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.
I have tried to reopen and sent several reports to Apple but nothing has helped so far. It is also doing this with my Toast 7 and Safari will unexpectedly quit in the middle of an action.
Has any one else experienced this kind of problem? I'm running Tiger as an operating system and I'm the only one at the office that is having this problem. And my system at home, which is the same, if fine as well. I ran Disk Utility, which found a preference problem that it said it fixed. I haven't gone further yet, since I still need to actually USE my computer during work hours, but if anyone has an idea, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Find the program Pacifist online. Run it with your Tiger DVD in the machine (don't boot from it) and re-install iChat.
Let me know!

Problems with iWebsite and Safari

Hi,
Lately I've been having problems with my site on Safari (Version 2.0.4). The site I have is for my band and everything loads fine except for the music clips. I've had this site up since February and only started having this problem within the last month. It works fine on Firefox (Version 1.5.0.4) and even on Exporer (Version 5.2).
Here's a link to a problem page.
http://www.crashcontrol.ca/Critical.html
So the whole page loads fine except for the song at the bottom. I just get a Quicktime symbol and a question mark. I've tried clearing the caches and resetting Safari (which did work once a few weeks ago)but no luck. I haven't updated these song pages in iWeb (Version 1.1.2) in a while and they use to play fine in Safari.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

hi dave,
so first of all, when there is a question mark, it means that the file is missing! it is not at the place where it should be or it simply no there. check over that the file is where it should be!
second, i just visited (under safari 2.0.4) the link you gave:
http://www.crashcontrol.ca/Critical.html
and the file just loads normal here, i tried all the others and ALL of the under MUSIC work!
so you do might wanna empty your cache again!

Problems with iPhoto and Aperture after installing Mavericks

I use iphoto 11, version 9.5 (902.7) and Aperture 3.5. both are dodgy since installing Mavericks - freezing, not allowing access while wheel spins, showing "Processing". I've re-installed both aperture and iphoto from the Apps store. No difference. Advice please.

The problem keeps occuring every time I shut down my laptop and reopen it when I am not at home (i.e. no Time capsule connected...)
What could I do to solve this issue...anyone please?

Im having problems with my iPhone 5 since installing 7.1.1

Im having issues with my phone since installing the latest upgrade. Battery life is reduced. Phone is heating up. The notifications screen keeps dropping on and off the screen wothout me touching it. The phone is performing random actions, on off buttons flicking back and forth without me touching the screen.

First step is to reset:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Problem with apps and logging in to app store

On my iphone, I am having a weird problem. Apps that were downloaded were working until last night. Now, when I click on them, it starts up, but then the app dies. I thought I could remove them and reinstall them. But now, when I log onto the app store, it tells me that the authorization failed, to connect to iTunes. I went to iTunes and changed my password. I logged onto iTunes successfully, but still no dice at the app store on the phone.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a simalar problem.
When I sync my iphone and apps dowloaded on my pc won't sync to my iphone, and any apps downloaded straight to my iphone won't sync to my pc.
It says that my PC is not authorized but when I authorize it it says that it already is.
I tried de-autharizing.
And now the apps on my phone do the same as above, you get the start screen for a split second when I open them then it just goes off.
This only hapens on downloaded apps, the built in ones (compass, etc) open fine and everything else seeems ok
Any help would be greatly appreciated
