Rainbow wheel when scrolling a web page

Strangely every '''second time''' that I want scrolling a web page, the arrow become unresponsive for few second and the rainbow wheel appear sometime for more the 1 mn !
This happen mostly on Google web page.
I clear already firefox cache but it didn't help.
iMac 3.06GHz IC2D OS X 10.6.8 / Firefox 8.0.1

Yes, that's what I did in the first place.
Instead of MOUSE_UP I used KEY_DOWN and the results came both: the stage and the HTMLLoader. That's why I'm confused. I'm pretty sure the results are same if I use MOUSE_UP too, isn't it?
And my question is, where is the focus when scrolling a web page loaded with HTMLLoader WITH ARROW KEYS. Not using a mouse, and I don't know how to scroll with a mouse.

  • Blank slide when scroll a web page

    hi
    when i tried to capture a web page and i scroll down, the programm just creates blank slides. i tried several times in different computers but it always did the same.
    what am i doing wrong?
    thanks

    Since you've raised it as an issue, I guess that you're getting the blank page instead of the scrolled down page, rather than in addition to it? And that you're using automatic recording, not full motion recording?
    For some reason your browser is indicating a change when it starts to redraw the content, but not after.
    Easy solution: listen out for the camera shutter sounds as Cp takes an automatic capture, and if you're not sure that the screen has fully redrawn itself when you hear the sound, just press the button to manually grab a screen - by default it's PrtScrn.

  • I'm getting the rainbow wheel when I try tp pen in internet page (Safari). The page half loads then appears to freeze with the rianbow wheel.  I get the same result when I try to stream a movie from NETFLIX.  Freezes up rather than plays (after loading).

    I get the rainbow wheel when I try to open an internet page. It loads halfway, then freezes, with the rainbow wheel whirring around. Smae thing happens when I try to stream a movie on Netflix.  The movie loads, then the wheel shows up and the screen freezes.  Same thing when I try a DVD, it takes the disc, but won't play when I hit on PLAY.
    I am repair permissions, and all that I can do, but I am a novice.  Any help would be greatly appreciated because I spend big bucks and drive 40 miles to get Apple help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If your profile info is up to date, you probably have a 2006 or 2007 MacBook with a CoreDuo or Core2Duo.
    It probably came with 512MB or 1GB RAM memory and a 60, 80, or 120GB hard drive.
    You're still running OS X Tiger, 10.4.
    Your DVD drive may be dirty or wearing out.
    For specifics about your computer, click on the  Apple Logo in the menu bar, then About This Mac, and More Info... to find details.)
    You may be running short of hard disk space. You should have at least 10% free, or 10 to 15GB free for best performance. Less than that, and your hard disk is spending lots of time searching for places to store data.
    Complex web pages and sites like Facebook and Twitter, and pages using Adobe Flash, and high-bandwidth applications like video streaming from NetFlix can all cause your computer to run slowly, and the fan to run at high speed, because the processor is working hard. Conversely, email is not terribly resource-intensive, and probably still works pretty well.
    Several things can each provide a small performance increase (listed in no particular order):
    Adding more RAM memory. Upgrade to 2Gb to give your programs a bit of 'breathing room', especially if you are running more than one program at a time.
    Erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the current operating system and programs from scratch. This erases all your existing programs and data. Unless you have backups and program discs, you lose everything currently stored on it.
    Installing a higher capacity, faster hard disk, say 250GB or 320GB will give your programs and data more space, and perhaps faster access if you replace the factory 5400rpm drive with a 7200 rpm drive. If your current hard disk is nearly full (less than 10% free space), the drive has to 'thrash' to free space to store information. 
    Upgrading the operating system to OS X 10.5 Leopard or OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Both are discontinued OS X versions, still available to order directly from Apple, but not likely found on a store shelf any longer. An upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion might not be possible for your MacBook (details here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/), and Lion would likely cause a further slowdown, because honestly, Lion is optimized for newer, faster dual-core or quad-core computers with fast video chipsets and 4GB or more of RAM.
    A faster internet connection, for example: I switched internet providers to get a 3.0Mb DSL connection (up from a 512Mb connection) for an extra $10 per month, and saw downloads and internet browsing speeds increase dramatically.  With the slower connection, it was not possible to watch video.
    Will all of these upgrades together get you close to the performance of the latest MacBook Air or MacBook Pros? NO!
    Ultimately, you have a 4- or 5-year-old computer, and spending up to several hundred dollars for upgrades might not be a worthwhile investment for you, versus applying that much money toward the cost of a new(er) Mac, and perhaps passing your MacBook on to a friend, child, or grandchild who needs mainly email capability.
    If a brand new Apple is not in the budget, consider a refurbished Mac from the Apple Store online. These are reliable computers from 'last year's models' and have the same 1-year Applecare warranty as a brand new model, and often sell at a discount of 10 to 30 percent of the price when the model was introduced.
    I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, purchased as a refurb from Apple in late 2007. It came with 1GB RAM, a 120GB 5400 rpm hard drive, and OS X 10.4 Tiger. Over the years, I've upgraded it twice. Firs to 2GB, then to 4GB RAM, to a 320GB drive, then to a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, and to OS X 10.5 Leopard, and then to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Rather than one more round of upgrades to OS X 10.7 Lion, I'm saving for a newer MacBook Pro or MacBook Air at some time in the future.

  • When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time?

    When using an external (ergonomic mouse) is there any way to get the wheel to scroll one full page at a time? Much appreciated.

    I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

  • My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

    My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience?  I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

    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.

  • I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

    I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • When Printing a web page from Firefox. The fonts are timy and all spacing is incorrect.

    Prior to beta 4.12, the pages printed correctly. Now, the fonts are small and the text spacing is incorrect. All text has at least one extra space between the letters.
    This happens on ALL sites when printing a web page.
    I tried printing the same page in Internet Explorer and it prints correctly.

    Of course, but It's not a problem with logical inches per se.
    The
    logical inch is just another way of looking at what is meant
    by the
    screen dpi value. Scaling problems, with different dpi
    settings, has
    always been a Windows problem and results from the way that
    the OS
    handles scaling. Fonts scale perfectly. Actual windows, and
    other
    containers, don't. This is a problem programmers have
    grappled with
    since the first Windows OS. Vista is the first OS to try to
    tackle this
    problem.
    >Thus, percentages or ems work best when cross-platform
    compatibility is
    >desired."
    And that is because the users screen dpi, and hence logical
    inches, are
    totally irrelevant when specifying ems and percentages.
    Ems and percentage equate to a number of pixels, not inches.
    The sole purpose of screen dpi setting is to convert anything
    sized in
    physical inches into a number of screen pixels. That is the
    _only_
    purpose of screen dpi. It's a very simple algorithm.
    (physical) inches x screen dpi value = number of pixels
    How do _you_ think a font sized in points (inches) gets
    translated to a
    specific number of pixels on screen. I'd be interested in
    your answer.
    For the screen a conversion from physical inches to pixels is
    always
    necessary because, as you say, pixels are the unit of screen
    measurement
    but they are not just a "standard" measurement, they are the
    only
    consistent measurement. It's not the users program that
    creates pixels
    on screen but the Operating System. The program requests the
    OS to
    create a given font at a given size and the requested size
    _must_ be in
    pixels. Windows can't _directly_ create a screen font that's
    specified
    in points (inches) because it has no notion of what a
    physical inch is
    on screen. It does know what a logical inch is because the a
    logical
    inch is defined by the screen dpi value. That's what the
    screen dpi
    value is for. If a browser programmer wants to bypass the
    variability of
    screen dpi on different computers then they ignore dpi values
    and work
    directly in pixels i.e. in ems or percentage. When ems and
    percentages
    are specified one is dealing only in pixels.

    Of course it makes more sense to set font size specifically
    in pixels
    because that's the only unit the OS can use to put something
    on screen.
    I can't see where you get the idea that either Michael Bowers
    or I have
    said that there is a unit "defined as 1/72 of a logical
    inch". Every
    Windows program written takes it that there are 72 points to
    a
    _physical_ inch.

    You are implying I've said things which I haven't. I have
    never, at any
    time, said one should use points or inches in designing web
    pages. You
    seem to have missed the point that what I am doing is
    explaining why you
    see the results you do on screen when those unit are used.
    Somewhat more
    informed than "Points are only for print because I don't know
    what they
    mean on screen, so they must be meaningless".
    >As Eric Meyer says on page 110 of "Cascading Style
    Sheets: The

    And again, I've never advocated using them in page design. A
    close
    reading, however, from page 83 onwards shows that Eric Meyer
    has an
    imperfect notion of the meaning of screen dpi. Heresy!! He's
    hardly
    alone, which is why I did a web site.

  • A better way to Scroll through web pages?!?

    I read long articles on various news web sites. It's really a pain to have to constantly scroll down the screen using your finger! Is there any solution for this??
    When I use the amazon kindle you just click a button to move to the next section of the screen. One hit and you're there! It would be awesome to utlize the physical volume controls on touch to do the same. Is there any app that does this already? (I have not found one).
    Or mabye there is a way to add a button at the bottom of the screen that would also jump to the next section of the web page for faster reading.
    Any ideas out there
    Cheers

    You may want to see if one of the News Apps, In the App store provide you with what you need. They have the ability to basically let you scroll however they want it to look with built in buttons or using swipe.
    Can not say there is an actual news App that will do this as I have not really tested all them. But maybe another poster out there can post their experience with news apps.
    In the mean time feel free to submit feedback to iPhone and if you find a news App you like without the features you want feel free to submit feedback to them as well.

  • When printing a web page, I only get blank pages

    I have a new iMac with MAC OS 10.4.11. I connected an HP psc 2175xi all-in-one printer, and when I try to print a web page from Safari, I only get a very small portion of the header and all other pages are blank. When looking at the Print Preview, every thing looks like it has printed fine, but when it is sent to the printer only blank pages come out. I am able to print from other applications fine. It seems to be related to printing web pages only, because I have also tried to print using Firefox, but the same problem occurs. Can anyone please help?
    Thanks.

    I did not have the HP printer software for Mac OSX installed properly. Once installed the problem went away.

  • When I save web page on my HDD then when I try to open it the pictures are not displayed?

    I have saved on my hdd webpage and folder with all pictures, but when I try to open it by doubleclick it open onli web page with text but picture stay clear (only borders)

    Hi bikicviki,
    Thank you for your question. I do not believe that the proper links have been updated to reference the newly saved file path of the local webpage that you saved.
    Can you please check the webpage content that was saved to see if there is an image stored in a folder? They should be. If not, can you please provide an example webpage and I will try it? I tried this webpage and did not have any missing images.
    Looking forward to your reply!

  • Lightroom 1.1 Server timeout message when uploading a web page

    I just updated to LTR 1.1 and now I'm sitting here looking at an error message for most of the day when ever I want to make a Web Page in LTR.
    It tells me the Server is not responding and It's timing out.
    I called my ISP and Server both are okay. What can I do or, who can I call to make things work a little ?

    Duane,
    This looks like the URL has the content of a wiki page as an attachment to the URL which is blowing up the get request. Can you go to the earlier version - the history should allow you to backtrack changes - if you access this earlier version and change something small - does it save OK. If so then maybe the change you made is the problem.
    I cannot access the workspace without being given explicit access so this is a guess.
