Safari 4.0.3 Locks Up On FaceBook

I can't access anymore than the first page of this discussion due to an error, so I apologize if this is a re-hash issue.
Yesterday I installed the Safari 4.0.3 update and ever since then it locks up and requires a Force Quit when I access my FaceBook home page. So far it hasn't happened on any other website.
I uninstalled and re-installed Flash Player plug-in as instructed from a different Apple Discussions thread, but this didn't solve my problem. I've also tried moving contents of my "Input Managers" folder with no positive result.
Thoughts? Thanks...

HI,
Try resetting Safari. From the Menu Bar in Safari, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Restart your Mac and see if you can access Facebook.
Also, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords from the list on the left. On the right, if you have stored your Facebook password, it should be listed there. Delete it and Quit Keychain Access. Launch Safari and try accessing your Facebook account. Enter your username and password. You should be prompted for this information to be stored in your Keychain. Click yes. Hopefully that will help.
Also, go to ~Library/Internet Plugins and ~Library/Input Managers. Delete any files stored there and restart Safari.
Check Web Clip widgets
If you made Web Clip widgets, the webpage that it is the source of a clipping might be causing Safari to unexpectedly quit. Go into Dashboard and remove any web clip widgets. Then, if you can access the original website, re-create the widgets and see if the issue persists.
Create a new administrator account in Accounts preferences. Log into the new user account and see if Safari has the same issue. If Safari in the new user account does not have the issue, the issue lies somewhere in your original account. If the issue still occurs in the new user account, there is a a system-wide issue affecting your Mac.

ICloud backups failing due to Safari bookmarks DB being locked

iCloud backups are failing to complete on my iPhone 4 (CDMA), iOS 5.0.1. I successfully completed a backup on November 9, but haven't been able to get a backup to complete since then. When I manually invoke the "Back Up Now" function, it starts backing up, then says "There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later."
Looking in the console logs (below), it appears the problem is that the Safari bookmarks DB is locked (corrupted?). Indeed, I am unable to add additional bookmarks in Safari, I get the message: "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
I've tried restarting the iPhone to no avail; I've also looked at Apple's iCloud backup troubleshooting doc, and none of the cases there seemed to match this problem.
Any suggestions ar every much appreciated!
Here is what the iPhone console says:

Had same problem, the solution lies with having your original apple ID associated email address "verified".
I may not have all the steps down correctly, but open your apple ID account manager and go to the your listing for email and "verify" the email address. This association then seems to allow the use of your email address when you are trying to set up this new apple ID that they are requiring for iCloud.
Be aware that this new apple ID has a far reach and apparently cannot be undone, that is you can't change the name, characters, numbers or whatever you have for an email address that becomes your apple ID---even if you can no longer use the email address to receive email.
Lots of luck.
I have been trying to get the iCloud features to work for over a week now, including a visit to a genius bar, and still not fully functioning.

Facebook 1.6 and 5 firefox crashed my system the other day! I like the 1.6 so I had to reload 4.03 now it is working again! I locked uo my facebook account for 8 hours

Facebook 1.6 and 5 Firefox crashed my system the other day! I like the 1.6 so I had to reload 4.03 now it is working again! I locked up my Facebook account for 8 hours! The program had been glitching for the past month!

I too had a HORRIBLE time with ITunes 7.0. The sound quality was absolutely terrible!! How did you recover your "Purchased Music" folder? I seem to have lost mine when I reverted back to Version 6.0.5. I also lost about 50 songs that I can't seem to find.
As a side note, when I called the Apple technical support line and spent over 45 minutes on hold before I finally got assistance, the guy I spoke to said his department had NO IDEA about the problems with Version 7.0 - I was his first call. Someone should be fired for not testing Version 7.0 thoroughly.
To anyone with problems, I suggest you call or email Apple so they are aware that this problem with Version 7.0 is widespread. Hopefully, they will actually listen to us customers, research this, and at least post some troubleshooting tips on the Apple website to help us out.

Safari Suddenly Won't Connect to the Facebook Site

This afternoon Safari suddenly stopped connecting to the Facebook website: I don't mean that I couldn't log in, I mean that I couldn't get to Facebook website at all. When I try to connect I get the message, "Safari can’t open the page “http://facebook.com/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again." Firefox, however, still connects without a problem.
Earlier I tried deleting cookies and then I was able to get to the Facebook website and log in. As soon as I try to do something, such as accept a gift from a Facebook game, however, it goes back to refusing to open the website.
I have the same problem on my AOL Desktop browser too, which shares a cache and cookies with Safari.
Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks!

Hi,
Make sure your system software is up to date. Click your Apple menu  then click Software Update. Facebook requires the latest version of Safari 5.0.4
And try resetting Safari. From your menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Safari won't let me post to Facebook friends' walls, but I can post if I use firefox. Why?

Safari will not let me post to facebook friends' walls. If I use Firefox or Google Chrome, I am able to post to facebook friends' walls. Since I updated to Lion, Safari is much faster than the other browsers, but the facebook issues are very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I stumbled upon the answer to my own question. The culprit is one of the safari extensions called facebook cleaner! After in uninstalled and emptied my cache, it is working!

My iPhone 6 doesn't play videos in safari or YouTube or Google chrome or Facebook what should I do

My iPhone doesn't play videos on safari or YouTube or google chrome or Facebook what should I do

I Have tried and still don't work

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it? OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Safari 4 freezes while I am on facebook

I need help, my safari has been freezing while am on facebook, does anyone have idea how i can stop this from happening because its starting to get on my nerves.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try Safari maintenance when you experience freezing.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Repair disk permissions:
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Safari 7.0.4 no longer displays Facebook correctly

Facebook is no longer rendered correctly. I have some text on the left of the page in a column, no graphics of any kind, any many, many error messages in the console. No problems in Firefox. I have reset Safari and emptied the caches. Any thoughts?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

Safari slow and/or locked up, how do I find .plist file?

Like many others, my office computers' Safari keeps getting locked up when going to different websites & I often have to do a force quit. I've read various posts, and have tried the simple fixes such as to reset Safari. I keep seeing that I should delete .plist file, but how do I find it? I'm told it's located at (tilde symbol) library/preferences, but how do I find that? My Safari drop down menu has Preferences, but not Library. One post said that the file is located in the home folder, but I don't know where the home folder is.
I don't know much about computers, but my job requires that I visit certain websites. (I work in a law office, so it's usually government websites, to download legal forms) Fixing computer problems wasn't on my job description when I was hired, but office staff has now shrunk to one part-time worker, and yours truly is doing what I can to keep the office running. How does a Tech Challenged lady find library/preferences and/or my home folder?

Hi
What do I do now? Do I trash my old Safari folder, and keep this one with the unwanted bookmarks on that gray section at the top of the window? I'll keep my old Safari on the desktop until I have a chance to check for answers later in the day.
One of the files in that folder is causing the problem.
Here's my suggestion:
Quit Safari.
Next, move the History.plist file in the Safari folder on the desktop to the new Safari folder, replacing the newly created file. Restart Safari. If the problem occurs, you found your problem file. In that case, move the remaining files on the desktop back to their original location, replacing the new files. Then, move the History.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari.
By contrast, if Safari is stable after moving the History file, then another file is causing the problem. In that case, return to the Desktop and move the Icons folder found in the Safari folder back to its original location, replacing the newly created one. If Safari problem returns you found the culprit. In that case, you would move the Icon folder to the trash. Then, restart Safari.
Before going further, let me know if that solves the problem.

Safari hangs and cannot run games on Facebook, says reloading over n over n over.....

When i use Safari and open webpages when I go to log in it hangs forever and sometimes never loads the page. I can not play any games on facebook either, keeps saying reconnecting over n over n over no matter what i do. Firefix works perfectly and have had Verizon out 3 times thinking it was my internet connection. Any suggestions?

HI Michael...
From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now back to the menu bar, click Safari > Empty Cache
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try deleting the cache associated with Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.

Safari will not let me login to facebook.

I've had this problem for a while now, and every time I try to login to facebook, I get this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://login.facebook.com/login.php” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “login.facebook.com”.
I can access every other part of facebook besides logging in. My firewall is not on, I've tried other web browsers: Firefox, Camino, and sea monkey, but I still get the same error message of some sort. What do I do? Safari loads every other paige besides this.

I have the same problem, but in my case, it's about whether I'm a admin or not.
If I'm an admin, I don't get any errors, but if I'm not, I get them on every page which requires a secure connection (urls starting with https://)
Really annoying.
I think it started about one or two months ago, with 10.5.2 or so.

I have a new Macbook Pro. Had just selected link via safari and the compuuter locked-up. It won't turn off...don't seem to have an option (no contol,alt,delete like PC). How do I unlock/reboot?

I have a new Macbook Pro. Had just selected search via Safari and computer locked-up. How do I unlock/reboot? On/off doesn't do anything...no cont/alt/delete option like PC, no easy battery removal available. What's the secret?

Hold down Option Command Escape at the same time... from the drop down Menu choose Force Quit Safari.
Or,
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.
