Safari 3.2.1 and Mac OS 10.4.11

I have reached the point where Safari (current version for Tiger) on Mac's running 10.4.11 (with all current updates) is totally unusable. It simply quits responding to calls to load web sites. I cannot even quit Safari using the Safari Quit Safari menu item. I have to use force quit (it shows Safari as NON RESPONDING.. I do not get a application quit unexpectaly, report to Apple, etc. screen.
This happens on four totally different machines in totally different environments. They all work just fine with Firefox on the same web sites. It is not web site specitic, or # of sites visited, it is totally random and it will occur EVERY time I use Safari on all 4 machines. One is an eMac, another an original iMac, another is a Ti power book and the 4 th is a G4 cube.
I have trolled all the sites for safari problems on 10.4.11 and tried some of the things indicated. None work. Safari on my 5 Mac's with 10.5.6 all work fine. But that is a different version.
Right now I am an unhappy Safari user on Tiger and a very happy Firefox user on Tiger.
Any ideas.
Yes I have tried downloading and installing the latest version from the web site on all 4 machines. I was using the prior version until it would no longer allow checking e-mail with mobile me login. Upgrading to the new version fixed that. But you have to start Safari from scratch and go to me.com first thing because if you try and surf around for a while Safari dies and you have to force quit and restart.

Hello,
"I have trolled all the sites for safari problems on 10.4.11 and tried some of the things indicated"
Before we make suggestions, what exactly have you tried so far?

Just installed Safari 2.0.1 and .Mac won't open

Installed Safari 2.0.1 yesterday and get the following message when I try to go to .Mac:
Application: Welcome
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException exception
Reason:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: An Exception occurred while generating the Exception page 'WOExceptionPage'. This is most likely due to an error in 'WOExceptionPage' itself or WebObjects encountered an uncaught exception while creating a Session object.
Any suggestions?

Safari 3 for Win and Mac not working with sites

I work for a company that does all the IT stuff for the county of San Diego, and it was brought to our attention that the County site (and some of the sites in it) don't play nice with Safari 3 on either platform. I downloaded the latest beta, plugged in http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov , and get a bunch of boxes at the top of the window.
The sites work fine in IE 5-7, Safari 2 and up, and Firefox. Someone on the ARStechnica forums mentioned they saw our servers (IIS and Unix/Apache) are set for uft-32. Okay, so does anyone know what we should have them set at so people (and our client) stop complaining we don't work with Safari Beta?
Thanks for any feedback/help.
Greg

Thanks Tom,
I'll look into it. We're going to change the test server to utf-8, but can't until the one guy who has admin access to the box gets back from training in about a week. Yes, they could have given admin or sudo access to a few of us, but that would have made too much sense.

Safari is repeatedly crashing and web pages are not responding

So, my safari is constantly freezing (the spinning wheel of death shows up) and then I'm told that the web-pages are not responding and I need to force reload them all. And this can repeat a number of times; a full system re-start is the only fix.
Any fixes, solutions would be appreciated.
I'm using Safari 5.1.9; and Mac OS X 10.6.8

MIght be third party plugins causing Safari to freeze.
Try the troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And see if you can do this before Safari freezes.
Launch Safari and immediately press Command , (comma) to open the Safari Preferences pane then select the Extentions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If Safari doesn't freeze, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.

Aha, a PPC Mac!
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

Safari 3.1. and Mac OSX 10.5.3

Hi everybody,
I accidentaly dumped Safari from my system because I never used it and I didn't like it very much. anyway, I am using Opera but to set Opera as my default Browser I need Safari to change this setting. So I downloaded the new 3.1. Safari version but wasn't able to install it. I got the message that I need Mac OSX 10.2. or newer (wich I already have). So I tried to install the Tiger version as well (out of curiosity) but it didn't work either. Afterwards I was browsing through the threads in this forum and tried all the other suggestions I found, like:
Installing the Safari 2.1. version from the install disk that came with my PBP. I was able to install it but when I tried to launch it I got the message that I cannot use this safari version with my Mac OSX version. And Software Update doesn't mention any Updates for Safari although an older version is installed.
After that I downloaded Pacifist, repaired my permissions with disk utillity, re-downloaded the Safari 3.1 package and tried to install it via Pacifist. The .pkg file was a zero-byte file and whe I marked every file in the package, and clicked on the install button it seemed to work. I was asked for my admin password and wether I want to replace all the files connected to safari. I said yes (like mentioned in another thread in this forum). I quit Pacifist, logged out and in again but Safari is still missing. If I search for safari using spotlight, the only thing that shows up is the .dmg file.
Does anyone have further suggestions??? I'd really appreciate it.
I am really annoyed about all that and I don't understand how Apple can release a new version of their browser wich is incompatible with their new MAC OSX version...

Try this:
Go to /Library/Receipts and look for an item named Safari311Upd.pkg or something similar, and Trash it (don't empty the Trash yet).
Decompress the Safari 311.dmg file by double-clicking on it. When it's done, open the mounted disk image (if it doesn't open automatically) and drag the pkg file to your Desktop. When it's done copying, close the mounted disk image.
Launch Pacifist and open that package that's on your desktop. Click once on the top package icon in the Pacifist window and then choose Install from the menu, and be sure to replace all items related to Safari that it may find. When it's done, try launching Safari and post back with what happens. If everything is fine again, then you can Empty your Trash.
As for Apple releasing a version of Safari that's not compatible with 10.5.3, that's not the case at all. It is entirely compatible; the fact that the OS is claiming something that doesn't make sense to you is not an indication that it doesn't work or isn't compatible.

Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every time.

Safari (3.0.4) on Mac OS 10.4.11 has started quitting when viewing news and weather sites - not all sites, not the same sites every day. Help?

Hi Gary...
I see you are running v10.4.11 and you have updated Safari but make certain all the system software is up to date by clicking your Apple menu / Software Update.
If everything is up to date, try resetting Safari from the menu bar.
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try several of the sites you mentioned.
has started quitting
If resetting didn't help, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Using LastPass with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X 10.7

I am considering using LastPass with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X10.7. Preliminary due dilligence suggests various problems with loading and running the plugin with Safari 6.0 and Mac OS X which appear to be unresolved. I will greatly appreciate any user experience with LastPass on the current Mac OS and Safari platforms, as well as any suggestions (i.e., "tips") for installing and using the plugin (or another more compatible plugin). Thanks for your consideration.

Found this solution in another thread:
Solution was to stop rapport, quit and restart Safari, turn rapport back on, then quit and restart Safari, all now working.

How to play Netflix on my Imac G5, it has Safari and Firefox 3, and over 1gb Ram and Mac OS X 10.4.11

How to play Netflix on my Imac G5, it has Safari and Firefox 3, and over 1gb Ram and Mac OS X 10.4.11

You referenced that you had a iMac G5 model?
G5's are PowerPC CPUs and not Intel CPUs.
The Microsoft Silverlight software works with Intel chip Macs only.
And, if I am not mistaken, the software requires OS X 10.5.8 Leopard or greater to install.
So, you need both an Intel Mac with, at least, OS X 10.5.8 as minimum requirements.
Netflix will still not work on your Mac.
FYI.

Mac hangs after Safari 5.0.5 and Security 2011-02 Updates

I recently ran software update and installed Safari 5.0.5 and Security Update 2011-02 on an iMac with 10.6.7. After running the updates, I clicked on the Restart button and the Mac rebooted but then hung with the spinning gear (not spinning). I did three more force reboots all with the same result.
I booted with the 10.6 install DVD, ran disk utility, and repaired the disk (incorrect file count and directory count). Ran permissions repair - found and repaired permissions on Library/Shared (were set to 777 for some reason and not 775). It also reported an ACL found but not expected on Library/Shared.
Rebooted the system and it came up, but when it did the date was reset to 1 Jan 2001 and none of my preferred networks could be found. I manually joined my Airport Extreme and then the system hung again. Mouse worked but no keyboard input and mouse clicks were not responsive.
Forced reboot again. That is where I am now. I've managed to backup all my user data and cloned the HD to another disk, just in case. I haven't seen any reports of any other issues with these updates, so it seems I am alone or in the minority.
Has anyone else had issues with their system after updating Safari and applying the Security update?

Mmm, some similar issues here after the same update (though not quite the same). In my case the computer rebooted to the log-in screen after the update, but any attempt to log on with either of the accounts on the computer returned me to the same screen.
Booted from SL disk and repaired disk. No errors were reported but DU indicated that it had "updated boot processes as required.
Then attempted to repair permissions. Permission repair proceeded very slowly and then appeared to hang altogether. I stopped the repair , quit the SL installer to reboot the machine. To my surprise it rebooted normally, to the default startup account.
I'm currently repairing permissions using the copy of DU on the HD. Still seems to be operating very slowly.
I'd suggest that anyone installing these updates should use DU (or another utility) to repair both the drive and permissions before they do so. This is always good practice, and I normally do it myself, but was in a bit of a rush this time.
If people didn't repair both the drive and permissions prior to the installation, I'd suggest they do it now.

When I browse pages in safari, the computer thinks and I have to force reload the page. Is this my Mac or my network?

When I browse pages in Safari, the computer spins and thinks. I have to force re-load to get past it. Is this my Mac or my network?

That's a scam. Reset the browser, and if needed, manually delete its configuration and preference files.
If you'd like to double-check, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
