Safari 3.0.4 freezing all other apps in 10.4.11?

Has anyone experienced a freezing of all other apps when using Safari? Here is what happens: I can use Safari and move freely to different web pages, but when I try to open another application, the icon for the other app appears in the dock bouncing for a long while, but then the icon stops bouncing and just appears in the dock as if I added it to the dock (i.e, it doesn't have a black triangle underneath the icon and the app doesn't open). This happens to all apps- printer utility, disk utility, word, activity log, etc., except dashboard widgets, which works. I can't even open system preferences or the force quit dialog box with the mouse. I can, however, right click on the icon in the dock and force quit from there. The right click opens up a menu which suggests the app is frozen in the middle of trying to open. Force quitting from the app, however, doesn't fix anything. I try to re-open the app, but I still cannot use any apps and cannot print from Safari.
The only thing that fixes this situation is to hold the power button down to shut down the computer. I wait 30 seconds and restart. I then run disk utility, but the results says no permission repairs are needed and disk repair comes back with a clean report. What's happening? I've had this problem happen more than once--maybe 3-4 times, but it doesn't happen all the time. I'm using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Thanks for your help!

SafariPlus v.1.6a1 works perfectly with Safari 3.0.4.
I allow Flash and Gifs and don't have a problem.
But it could be some other third party 'enhancer' that caused the problem.
Input Managers can be tricky beasts. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.

  • No web with safari, itunes, but can with all other apps.

    Hi
    I get no web connection with Safari and iTunes, but I can with all other apps. (Firefox, Entourage, Mail, Transmit-FTP)
    iTunes says: connection denied, Safari says: web page not found, but every other web app I have can connect.
    What gives?

    Hi,
    Do you have any proxies selected in your Network preferences?
    If so, try unselecting them and retry Safari/iTunes.

  • Only Safari & receiving email works. All other apps can't connect to web

    Frustrated is an understatement. I can only receive email and surf in a browser (Safari). Software Update, iTunes Store, MobileMe Sync, FTP software, applications that checks for updates, or anything else that tries to connect to the internet can't.
    For example, iTunes error appears when I try to connect to the Store: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The host is down. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
    I did the usual disk repair, repair permissions, and nothing worked. I checked my Airport Extreme settings and router. I tried the iTunes Store from another user, and the problem was the same.
    I decided to archive and install the OS. This fixed it, but only for a day or so. Then, the problem returned. Aside from wiping the hard drive, I don't know what to do.

  • Mail app works fine, all other apps cannot connect to wifi - suggestions?

    Hello
    I can connect fine to my work wifi but only the mail app is working - googlemail account. Safari cannot find server and all other apps requiring wifi do not work.
    All of the apps work fine when connecting to my home wifi so nothing wrong with the ipod.
    Confused. Do different apps use different wifi settings?
    Any help would be much appeciated!!

    There might be a filter or firewall at work preventing access to internet. Check with your network administrator.

  • Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • IPhoto 6.0.6 (322) Will Not Print (all other apps can)

    Good evening,
    I automatically updated iPhoto to 6.0.6 (322) and now get this message when trying to print a picture:
    "No pages from the document were selected to be printed."
    I copied the message from the opened tab. All other apps can print.

    jrrplie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after the iPhoto update? If no give it a go now. Also turn off photo sharing if you have it turned on in the iPhoto's prefs (longshot).
    Also check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4214124&#4214124
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    When I updated my iPhone to iOS 6.1.3, somehow the iTunes App did not make it back to my iPhone.  So, I now have an iPhone without the iTunes App.  All other apps are on my iPhone.  How do I get back my iTunes App, so I can continue buying music and flix?

    Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
