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 keeps freezing while watching videos

    As the title says, Safari freezes while I watch films/TV shows on SkyGo, though it is fine when I watch videos on YouTube/LoveFilm and when I use SkyGoDesktop. I can only watch about 5 or 10 minutes of anything on SkyGo online before it freezes and the spinning coloured wheel appears - every Safari window/tab I have open freezes, not just the one containing SkyGo. It used to work fine until a few days/weeks ago, but even after updating the system on my MacBook, it freezes
    I have logged on to my laptop as a Guest user, and it freezes then as well.
    So... how can I fix this problem please?
    Thank you for your help!

    I have exactly the same issue! Late 2008 MBP freezing and looping the audio. I just two days ago did an erase and install of 10.6, did all the software updates and have as clean a system as you could imagine. I had a freeze tonight exactly as you described while using BBC iPlayer (based on Adobe Air I think) using the 9600M GT. I just bought Applecare before the first year was up because I intend to bug the heck out of Apple to get this fixed!
    I made a short video on my mobile phone of the frozen machine - I'll put this on my iDisk and email you a link to download it if you like. You can then show this to the techs and at least explain that yours is the same.

  • How do i stop Safari from freezing while i'm surfing the internet?

    Ok, so here's the problem. Every time I go onto Safari, it doesn't respond after i search for something on google or go on Facebook. now, i have to use Safari in Safe Mode each time and the audio is disabled so i can't watch or listen to music videos. Can someone tell me how to stop Safari from doing this? Thanks. 

    Maybe try another browser like Firefox.
    Also, try creating a new user account on your mac, and log in to that, to see if you continue to have the same problems.

  • Safari freezes while loading

    I am running Safari 4.03 on a G4 Mac with os x 10.4.11.
    About once a day, Safari will freeze while loading a page. The stop loading button does nothing. Eventually I have to force quit. Anyone know anything?

    I'm kinda a noobie to a mac so forgive me if this is lame. I was reading this post and i have kinda the same problem except when i go to open safari it just flashes and says that it can't be opened. I have reset safari and emptied the cache and it still won't open. Although sometimes when i go to open safari if i click on the top sites button in the far left corner when trying to open safari it will open that way and let me use safari to surf anywhere i propose to search. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • Safari keeps freezing when using yahoo mail.

    Safari keeps freezing while using Yahoo mail. Have to close out or reset safari to regain access. Anyone else ever have this problem?

    Why not use Mac Mail instead of Yahoo's web based mail and having to access it via Safari and deal with incompatibility issues?
    Open Mac Mail.
    From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click +  (plus) under  the Accounts  panel on the left.
    Type in your name, Yahoo email address and Yahoo password then click Create.
    It's that easy.
    To view incoming mail or start a new mail message just click the Mail icon in your Dock. If the Mail icon isn't in the Dock, go to your Applications folder, launch Mail. Then click and hold the Mail icon in the Dock, click Option / Keep In Dock.

  • My iMac freezes while using safari.  I have Mavericks installed

    Several times my iMac freezes while using Safari. Only way to get out is to do a hard shut-down by holding the start button.  Any ideas?  Version of Maveriks is 10.9.2

  • Freeze while looking Flash Video in Safari

    Hi there,
    this is my first post here and im happy to become a member in this great community.
    Further sorry for my bad english.....
    Now my problem and i hope you can give me some advice to solve my problem.
    I have a problem to watch Flash Movie in Safari, after some minutes my MacBook freeze and i must shutdown the book.
    The same problem is while i wachting movies with the VLC-Player....the OSX Lion is up-to date.
    Thanks for help......
    MacBook Pro early 2011 15,4" i7 CPU, ATI Radeon 6750, 8GB RAM

    Maybe this thread here helps: After Installing OS X Lion iMac freezes while watching flash videos!
    Flash is such a crappy piece of software that I try to stay away as much as I can.

  • While I'm using facebook in my iPad with Safari browser,sometimes it will just switch to main menue.It also happened with the Facebook apps from the apple store. And the color of the bookmark area becomes black instead of a normal grey color.

    While I'm using facebook in my iPad with Safari browser,sometimes it will just switch to main menue.It also happened with the Facebook apps from the apple store. And the color of the bookmark area becomes black instead of a normal grey color.

    Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
    If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router.

  • Safari always freezes

    Safari constantly freezes up & I get the pinwheel.. the only way to reduce the pinwheel frequency is to open Chrome & minimize the page, then continue using Safari.. (Chrome is completely NON-usable for any other purpose since this started also)... this happens on just about every single webpage I try to view, from hotmail to facebook to google search page!
    I have updated my Flash player, scanned with ClamXav (found 2 malware, since deleted), tried Memory Clean, but still the problem persists.. it started shortly after I installed the last OS X update..
    Please if anyone has any suggestions that can stop me from going back to my WIndows laptop, I would appreciate the help!
    MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010
    Mac OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
    Safari version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17) with Adblock & Facebook Photo Zoom extensions installed (still freezes even if the extensions are removed)

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari & FireFox  freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

    Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
    Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

  • Iphone 5c freezes while texting

    My iphone keeps freezing while texting for about 15-20 seconds.  Especially if I go back to correct a text and move the cursor.  I've tried resetting all settings and problem is still persisting.

    Did you try restarting your phone? Do you have space left on your phone or is it close to the limit? (this tends to make phones slower). Is it happening only when you text or also when you search something on Safari or send a tweet or anything?

  • Screen freezes while recording video.

    Screen freezes while recording. I'm recording a video from Safari 7.1 using Quick Time Player 10.3 in OS10.9.5. The picture freezes after about an hour and a quarter. I'm using SoundFlower to capture the audio; the audio continues to flow and record while the picture remains static.

    Hi again, I have found a solution for this! Go to the video in your iTunes library, and right click. Go to "Options" and then uncheck "Remember playback position". Once I did this the videos all played fine on my iPod.. they just won't keep track of where you left off. Hope this helps you both as well!

  • Mac Apps freeze while opening

    Hi,
    My Mac Applications are freezing while opening. Mail, Safari, Calculator, Textedit, Preview, and Mac Help Viewer all freeze up either upon opening or as soon as I try to interact with them. Other apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, MSN Messenger, IE, and Word work just fine.
    I have used Disk Warrior to reapair the HD and I have used Disk Utility to reapair permissions. I don't know what else to try.
    Any suggestions?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try things in Dr.Smokes Apps. Fail to Launch thread.

  • Embedded movies, Safari/Firefox freezes, then all hangs

    Note: This post was moved from 'It's not just Safari, It's Firefox too... Crashing Tiger'
    I have the same problem -- although it is linked directly to embedded quicktime movies. Almost every time I go to a page with an embedded movie, Safari / Firefox freezes, taking the rest of the os along with it (finder, other open apps) Unplugging the ethernet doesn't help. Checked the Safari crash log and it doesnt seem to be recording these crashes.

    Sounds like lookupd is hanging and taking the OS with it...
    If this is happening when surfing to sites with links to "js.adsonar.com", like FoxNews.com and others, here's a fix:

  • Safari is freezing

    Lately my safari keeps freezing after opening a couple of my usual websites (facebook, yahoo, icloud, etc..) But it only does this at home when using our airport express.  My wifes' macbook and our apple tv work fine at home.  What's going on???? I have a almost 6 year old macbook pro with version 10.6.8.  Our airport express is about the same age and we've never had trouble.

    Rosie, Welcome !!
    Do you have internet apps SpeedDownload, iGetter, PithHelmet, Acid Search, Safari Enhancer ? Or Norton or Virex? Sometimes non-apple internet apps need updating or uninstalling. If you do, let us know which ones and which version, please.
    In addition to Miriam's link, you might want to try these:
    1. Empty your cache & History settings via the Safari menu
    2. Trash your Icons Folder:
    HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
    Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
    (This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
    rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
    3. Launch Font Book and check all fonts for duplicates. A duplicated font will have a bullet beside the font family and you can resolve duplicates by selecting the font and at the menu bar, go to Edit > Resolve Duplicates.
    Do this for each font with a bullet next to it.
    If you're still having problems:
    4. Shut down your computer . . . unplug the computer, modem, and router, if you have one. Let everything sit for 2-3 minutes. Plug everything back in, start up your modem & router, and when the lights get regular, then restart your computer.
    Hope this helps
