Safari 4.1.3 often not responding on powerbook g4?
I seem to get a lot of 'hanging' and 'not responding' from Safari 4.1.3 on osx 10.4.11.
Some sites such as www.economist.com play havoc. Should I go back to an earlier version of Safari>
Do not attempt to install a version of Safari not designed for your version of OS X.
If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:

and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)

I need to run web based Microsoft CRM. I open it in Safari but the program does not respond. I suppose it has to do with Flash or ActiveX. Can someone help?
What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
But first check the product requirements. -
Safari reports the site is not responding, yet Firefox loads the same site.
If the loading of most web pages is slow in Safari, more often than not, Safari returns that the site is not responding. Clearing the cache and restarting the app do not change this. Every time I've found this issue, Firefox has ALWAYS loaded the site with virtually no hiccup. These are not special sites, just if Safari can't load a site within it's time limit, it gives up on it completely. The best way I've found to induce this is to have a folder in your bookmark bar with a good number of URLs (one of mine can have upwards of 50) and then tell it to "Load all in Tabs." Most of the tabs will come back with the above mentioned failure, and then you've lost that site until you restart or a few hours go by (perhaps).
Now I've mostly found this problem by just loading ONE site, not 50. Even Apple's own homepage has done this to me on regular occasion.
Please give me your ideas on what I'm not paying attention to. I like Safari's WebClip function, and I've made up for most of the functions I'm used to in Firefox's Add-Ons, but this is the nail in the coffin if it's a regular occurrence.I'm getting a similar error over here. Sporadically some sites won't load specifically in Safari; they open just fine in Opera, Firefox and Camino though. This is really annoying.
It's pretty clear it's nothing network related… -
Safari 6.1.6 is not responding
when i want to browse on safari it is not responding what to do
Hi, shyam256.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the performance of Safari. I would start with resetting Safari History and clearing Website Data. If the issue persists, you may need to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the second article.

My fix for Safari 5 beach ball, hang, not responding
Hello,
So many people experienced problems with safari after upgraded to S5 and me too! Beach balls, not responding, crash, quitting, hang.. Etc. I tried clearing cache, reset safari, delete .plst, uninstall/reinstall safari all yield to similar problem.
Here's what i have done to fix mine.
For slow internet try to change your DNS to:
*Google DNS*
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
*Level3 Com DNS*
4.4.2.1
4.4.2.2
OpenDNS
165.21.100.88
165.21.83.88
For safari frequent beach balls, hang or not responding.
If beach ball occurs,
1) open activity monitor (safari would be in red font and saying that "not responding)
2) Don't quit your safari instead look for flash plugin that is running and try to quit that process.
3) See if beach ball gone, if yes then problem could be your flash plugin.
4) Go to Adobe site and download latest flash and test your Flash (+http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/+)
5)Try to test that macro media shockwave player if it works (+http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/+)
when i test mine it says that it run only in 32 bit mode so i turn my safari in 32bit and it able to display that logo which means its working.
So far i never encounter again beach balls(knock to the wood 3x) for a week of usage
I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
In windows7 machine i encountered internet explorer 64bit some pages also not able to display(but no hang) due to Flash player unable to support 64bit, need to run in 32 bit.
Hope my fix to my MBP can benefit others too...
or any of you out there can give or enlighten more on this issue?HI,
crash
I think turning safari to 32 bit mode solves my problem.
If it turns out Safari crashes again, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. 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.

Safari 5.1 on Lion not responding after Quite
here is the symptomatics:
i'm using MBP 15 late '08 (Core 2 Duo 2,53 GHz with 4 GM RAM --- not sure whether it's relevant here).
I had a number of uneases after my update to Lion. I was able to resolve them [partially] by following this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3197249?start=0&tstart=0
now, since a couple of days ago (w/o any special reason) my Safari started to fall into beach ball. first, it happenend [sometimes] when I turned on my MBP after it was "sleeping" and resumed my Safari seesion. now, however, it happens every time when I try to Quit Safari. I tried to wait for a very long time and it didn't help, the app remained frozen. The only solution so far was to Force Quit Safari.
well, since I don't like the "force quit", I switched to Firefox (some RAM-overloading issues there) and eventually to Chrome, that works quite smoothly for me so far.
I did, however, really like some of the Safari-features and, well, it's somehow funny that the OS-own-browser doesn't want to cope with the OS.
any thoughts on that?
thanks in advance!ok, just found this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15723633#15723633
i'm wondering, what is the trouble behind it -
Just ran the newest updates. I have 10.6.8. Now Safari doesn't work? (not responding)
I have 10.6.8.
I just ran the lastest updates for my MacBook Pro. Now, after the computer restarted and installed everything, Safari freezes, won't load the home screen, and gives me the ever-rotating beach ball of doom.
What happened? Fix?Boot from the Install disk and repair the disk with Disk Utility.
If that doesn't help, reinstall the 10.6.8 combo update.
And, you might try posting on the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard forum. -
i have a question is it okay to upgrade to OS mavericks? free upgrade? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5,
Shouldn't be a problem if your Mac can run Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
As for Safari. When you say not responding, do you mean it won't open a window, or it won't load websites, or it won't launch at all?
The more details you provide, the easier to help you. -

My ipad2 safari is not responding and has greyed out
safari on my ipad2 is not responding and has greyed out... is there a way i can sort it out ?
If you follow Bob's instructions.. allow it to cool down.. maybe leave it off overnight.. if the disk fails to start when you power on.. or listen carefully and hear if the disk is failing to spin up properly then you have either dead drive or dead supply.
Is it in warranty or applecare, let apple replace it?
If it is out of applecare even, open it and replace the disk.
How old is the TC? What model from the rubber mat A1xxx? What size disk?
Certain drives are becoming unreliable.. The WD black in Gen2, The Samsung Spinpoint in Gen3 and WD green in Gen3 and Gen4 are none of them great drives.
Out of warranty do the job yourself.. there is plenty of stuff about drive upgrades for the TC.
Excellent instructions here.

My Mac Pro is about 4 years old now. I have internal drives in 3 of the bays. My Main drive (boots from) is 1TB. I'm not even using half of it for system and software. I keep everything else on other drives (photos, files, tunes, etc.) The problem is everything is running very, very slow. Apps including the Finder are often Not Responding. Some just won't open at all. The spinning pinwheel is constantly revolving but not resolving. My browsers are running very slow despite getting 12 MBs/sec download speed from my router. Here's what I've done . . .
Disk Utility - Verify Disk, Verify Permissisons. It says "The volume on Main Drive appears to be ok.
MacKeeper - Scanned and deleted junk files. It says "Your system status is excellent."
Created a new account with Admin rights. Same thing happens with the new account.
Deleted preference files and restarted in hopes of rebuilding preferences.
I'm running the Free Memory app now and it says I'm using 2.15 GBs and have 1.03 GBs free.
I'm not sure if my computer is dying, the hard drive is failing (drive is only 6 months old), memory is running out, or something else. Can anyone suggest something else to try or have any idea what's going on?I actually solved the issue I was having, hopefully its the same as yours.
Did you by chance copy a large volume of files over to another drive, or do some action similar to this just prior to when the problems started? Because in my case I copied about 20GB of files from one of my internal harddrives, to an external raid unit. Apparently the last 20 or so files didn't copy correctly, and were sitting on my external drive as 0KB files. I deleted those files, and almost immediately my system began behaving normally again.
I have NO idea why an incomplete file copy would cause such an issue, but it seemingly did. Maybe try removing your other 2 internal drives, and just using your boot drive for a few hours (Just to test the theory, but that is of course assuming that the incomplete files aren't on your boot drive itself.)
It made sense in my case, because I had formatted my entire boot drive, and the problem persisted. Turns out the issue was in the other HD's having to do with the incomplete file copies.
The only other thing I can think of that I may be confusing what fixed it is, the very same day security patch 2011-006 was downloaded through the system update. Possibly that alone did the job, I really have no way of knowing. If I had to guess though, I'd still credit the deleting of the partial file copies as the thing that fixed it, as I saw immediate system performance increase.
I hope some bit of this is helpful for you, because I know first hand how irritating these problems are.
Good luck! -
Safari do not open and ends up not responding
Hi,
Safari no longer works for me after a software update. Safari will not open and ends up not responding upon launch at which time I have to force quit.
I have gone through the Mac help forums without finding a suitable answer and I tried the following actions but unfortunately not one is working.
-I have tried to uninstall and install safari again (to uninstall the program I have deleted also all the cookies in preferences and library and application support);
-I have created a new user and safari does not work for the new user either.
It seems to me that the mac feels that a safari window is open but I cannot see it.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.A few things you can try (I see you have tried some of them already):
If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
¥ history.plist
¥ lastsession.plist
(Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
(Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
If Safari is getting very slow:
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it. -
