S4 freezes while browsing the web

Several times during the last few days my Galaxy S4 will freeze while I am searching the web. It will not switch to another application or home screen and eventually the screen goes dark. The only way to recover is to remove the battery for a few minutes and start again. Cannot figure out what is happening. Any ideas?

Are you using WiFi or Verizon network? Does this happen at the same location or where ever you go?

ITunes skipping during audio while browsing the web - Quicktime issue?

iTunes 11.1.2 for Win 7 is skipping during playback of audio when I am browsing the web. Is this a Quicktime issue? I tried changing the audio output device latency but it didn't do anything different as far as skipping goes. Any suggestions?

Actually, that doesn't work either. Here's the solution that is working consistently:
Go to iTunes, and Preferences > Playback tab > Play Audio Using > Windows Audio Session instead of Direct Sound. There we go, that works!!

Listening to Internet Radio while Browsing the web

Is it possible to listen to Pandora Radio (Internet radio) and browse the web at the same time with my MacBook Pro? I used to be able to do this with my Dell Laptop computer. If so, how do you do this? Thanks.

Open another tab in your browser. Works here using Firefox.
If it doesn't work in Safari, you know what to download.

Computer freezes while browsing the photos

It happened already few times that I was simply browsing the photos in Aperture and suddenly the computer (MBP Retina) has completely frozen and forced shut shut down had to follow. A bit strange ? (while database repair was done few times before, even database rebuilt). Something still not so good in the software ?

I have Nikk plugins but they are not used on those photos. This freezing, as I remember, started after Mavericks. I simply browse among photos (in the large view) and suddenly the cursor and the whole computer freeze (once in few days)
Plug-ins can be causing this, without being used, just by being installed, if they are incompatible.
Check the versions of your NIK plug-ins, if you have missed an update. In November the NIK collection has still been reported as incompatible with Mavericks, I am not sure, if that has changed.
Does a new Aperture library work? Create a test library and import a few images. Freezing might also be caused by having imported corrupted images or videos.

Can I turn the screen while browsing the web ?

Can I set the screen to display the web longways as aposed to narrrow ways ?
It would just make some pages look better.

Random freeze while browsing

Greetings,
I have, in the last couple of weeks, run into an issue that someone else here may have seen.
While browsing the web with either Safari or Firefox, my machine will occasionally lock up. The cursor moves, but nothing is selectable, the dock is unresponsive, force-quit key combo does nothing, and I hear a very distinct processor screech as soon as it begins. The only way out is a hard restart (tried waiting over an hour to no avail). It doesn't appear to matter what page I'm browsing, and nothing is written to any log to give me a clue. It can happen after a few hours or a few minutes, and, very rarely, more than once on any given day.
I think it's a runaway process (due to the processor screeching), but have yet to pinpoint the source. I have recently updated the video card from ATI 9600 64MB to an OE 9800 Pro Special Edition 256MB.
I am connected via Bellsouth DSL, with nothing between my machine and the modem but the ethernet cable.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Dear Doug,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Seems like a system wide issue could be because of Webkit. But lets first try to fix Safari and see if it make a difference.
1. Drag com.apple.Safari.plist to the desktop. Location Home user > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
2. Delete user caches. Location Home user > Library > Caches
3. Run disk utility to repair permissions.
4. Reset PRAM. Follow article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
5. Check if the Safari is working fine. If not then make a new Admin user from System Preferences > Accounts and check all the other applications if they are working fine.
6. If the issue persist then this is indeed a system wide issue. You will have to backup user data and perform an archive and install without preserving user and network settings. Then you can do a combo update to 10.4.6
Hope this helps.
Good Day!
Ravi Dimri.

Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

I am trying to watch videos online, but a message saying "You are currently browsing the web with Google Chrome..."

I have a MacBook Pro, which I just bought in August.
When I try to watch videos on my computer, a message pops up saying, "You are currently browsing the web with Google Chrome and your Video Player might be outdated." I know it's a pop up, but I don't know how to get rid of it and watch videos on my computer. I did look it up online and I downloaded the TSM Adware Removal Tool, which removed some adware files. Then I also downloaded Bitdefender Virus Scanner from the app store to scan my entire computer - nothing came up.
Please help me solve this problem. Thanks.

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Music distorting when browsing the web

Hi,
Since installing the latest version of itunes on my windows pc the music distorts whenever i am browsing the web and click on links. Its never done this before. Any ideas please?
I have 8mb broadband and a good spec pc so its none of these causing the problems.
Thanks

i'm not having that problem but it may be somthing that a software restore through iTunes could solve. If not then it may have somthing to do with the websites your browsing. If the sites arent compatable with the touch or have some file formats that are not compatable somewhere on the webpage it could be causing the touch to freeze up for a bit which would stop your music.

I can ping, but I can't browse the web

I decided to try out Arch after having used ubuntu for a while, and things seemed to be going fine until I tried to get an AUR package with wget. I tried pinging aur.archlinux.org and had no problems with that and then I started searching the web. Eventually I found that wget works with the -4 option. I could live with that but when I tried to browse the web I found that I couldn't view any web pages. In fact, it seems like the only internet related tool that I'm not having trouble with is ping, while wget, curl, firefox, and host are all broken unless they have a -4 option I can use.
Here's a sample terminal session where I ping, try wget, then wget -4.

How can I watch a movie while surfing the web?

I've been trying to figure out if there is any way to anchor the iTunes player so I can watch a movie while surfing the web. I've had no luck, Please tell me there is a way! =)

There are two ways I do this.
1. I set the playback in preferences to play the video in a seperate wind. Then I size the browser window so I can see both at the same time.
2. My prefered method is to play the movie on my extra monitor I use. That way I can run it full screen while working with a full screen browser.

Windows will randomly close while on the web.

Hi, I have an ASUS x501A-BSPDN22 lap top with windows 8 operating system. While on the web my window will randomly close by itself. At first I thought maybe it was the browser I was using (which was chrome at the time) but I installed firefox and the problem
would still occur. Usually it will close like an hour using it and also the flash plugin will randomly crash as well. Am I worrying for nothing or is there a possible problem?
Also is Avast agood antivirus?

Hi,
Collect the crash dump file:
Then upload it to forum, we can analyze it to see what is the culprit.

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet. We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset." Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.
