Safari 5.0.6 repeatedly refreshing back a page - can't find anyone else with this issue.
I have already searched for this issue, and no one mentions anything quite like it. There are plenty of threads about refreshing problems, but not like the one I'm having.
For quite awhile now, the same problem has been occurring: I will be on a web page and suddenly safari will refresh and bounce back to a prior page - anything I was doing at the moment disappears (such as filling out a form, writing an email, etc) and I have to start from the beginning. Even things like what I'm typying right now could refresh and disappear at any moment - it's driving me nuts!
Has anyone else had this problem, or heard of it, and what was the recommended solution?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Ok..
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist (preferences)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
If it's not Extensions nor corrupted preferences, possibly a third party Safari addon.

Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Anyone else with this problem?
Safari crashes and shuts down every time I visit Grays Online. Site usually flicks off in under a minute. Anyone else with this problem?
The website may need more memory than you have available if you are running iOS 5.1.1 on the original iPad. Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Maybe quitting all apps might be the best thing to try.
Reset 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.
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.
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. -

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.
I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige. -
Screen goes to black when tilted back too far...anyone else had this issue?
My ibook has started this crazy new thing. The screen goes to black when tilted close to all the way back. It's not that big a deal, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it possibly will get worse. When it happens, I just close the lid, let in go into sleep mode, then open it back up touch a key and all's well, I just have to be careful not to lean the screen back too far. In the past, I've had to send it back twice for the logic board to be replaced and as much as I love Macs, I really feel this is not a well-made product. Thanks for any advice....

As the old joke goes about the guy who went to the doctor and, raising his arm, said, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." And the doctor said, "Well, then, don't do that!"
Yes, it is a familiar thing to happen to an iBook. The backlight cable can get pinched in the hinge, causing it to go off at certain angles.

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?
ThanksI just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?
For a few users, since some point in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been an occasional problem when trying to wake from sleep if you have Bluetooth enabled for the keyboard, Magic Mouse, Trackpad, etc.
The solution for me that worked 100% of the time was: System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
For me, the problem ran intermittently through 10.6.something, all of 10.7 and now, finally, seems to be resolved in 10.8.2. -
Every time I log onto my iMac profile it starts Safari immediately trying to load a blank page...is anyone else having this problem the last day or two?
Go to: Safari Preferences... and select the General tab.
1. Check to make sure that "New windows open with: Homepage"
2. Then if it still opens blank...? Select the Homepage page that you want Safari to open on and click the "Set to Current Page" button. -
The forward, back, refresh, and stop buttons are not working. Even after installing the latest Firefox update. Also my home page stopped loading upon startup even tho I have it setup to do so. Anyone else experiencing these issues? This is my second request for help and of course, Firefox on-line support is always closed.
Those are all symptoms of a problem with the places.sqlite file, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

My sounds occasionally stops working after upgrading to iOS 6. Is anyone else having sound issues with iOS 6 or greater?
I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.

Back Up Assistant freezes on LG Cosmos3 - anyone else have this issue?
Let me share my experience. To save money, I did not renew my contract plan and went with two prepaid basic phones. (the LG Cosmos3) Within two days, I knew there was a problem. When the back up assistant would try to execute a scheduled backup when the phone was in a locked mode, the application would freeze and not complete the process. If the backup ran at night, the screen would remain frozen until I would discover it in the moring and unlock the phone and press clr or end. Upon accessing the on line community, I noticed another user describing this same issue. I called Verizon customer support and explained my issue. She put me on hold and returned to the phone stating she had consulted IT. The indication was that IT was aware of this issue.... what ashame my local store didn't mention that to me as I was paying $122.74 to buy the phone, accessories, and prepay for the first months use ! It was suggested I try to uninstall then reinstall the backup app. I was told if that didn't work, then I should take the phone to Best Buy and have the Geek Squad reflash my phone. (despite the fact that I bought the phone directly from my local Verizon which the rep knew)
I then drove to my local Verizon store and shared the info given by the customer service technician I spoke to on the phone. The in-store employees had never heard of this being an issue ! The store employee then showed me that on pre installed factory software, there is no uninstall option choice to unload the app. He then took my phone to the store manager to check and see if there was any software upgrades available which there was not.
Leaving the Verizon store unsatisfied, I then went to Best Buy where it was suggested they could do a reflash. When I told this to the in store employees, they told me they can only flash Samsung products not LG at BestBuy.
I then drove back to my home to recontact Verizon by phone. I explained the situation to another customer service rep which told me we should try to reset the backup app. She had my go to my installed Backup app, go to the "About" option on the app, and dial *73738# . If this doesn't properly reset backup assist to where it no longer freezes while the phone is in locked mode, I will have no choice but to turn auto lock off so the phone can run the app. Otherwise, I will be waiting until Verizon/LG develope a patch for a fix.
It is just frustrating to pay for a product with a known compatibility issue. Once you leave the store and they have your money, Good Luck !
I was told by the Verizon customer service rep if I was discouraged with the phone and wanted a different model, I would have to talk to LG to see if they would send me another phone of a different model without the compatibility issue.... apparently that is not Verizon's problem.
It just seems unreasonable for this phone to continue to be sold until these issue are resolved... or should I say it seems disrespectful ?

If I go thru the process to restore my phone as you suggest, it gives me a warning that after that process my phone will need to be reprogrammed.... can you give further instructions on how to do that after the restore process please.
I am a bit doubting as to why my software would be corrupted and why it will benefit to restore the phone. This phone has had this issue since day 1 when it was taken out of the box and activated by in-store Verizon employees. It would appear that this software issue has existed at the factory level when the phone was produced?
My other frustration is the inconsistant answers I have gotten from Verizon support both verbally and online.
1) At the national call center I was told to uninstall then reinstall BackUp. When I consulted my local Verizon store, I was told that factory installed software cannot be uninstalled making this recommendation useless.
2) Again on a verbal basis by Verizon support, I was told to take the phone to BestBuy to have the phone reflashed. When I got to BestBuy, despite buying this phone directly from my local Verizon store, I was told that BestBuy can only reflash Samsung products.
3)Verbally by Verizon support, I was told to dial *73738# to reset BackUp assistant
None of those items have worked. I am now experimenting on my own to see if I turn off the keyguard auto lock at night, if that will allow BackUp to run and complete successfully.
4)Another time when I called Verizon support, It was eluded to that IT knows about the issue and is working on a fix. If that is the case, how frustrating that this phone is actively being sold to un-suspecting customers despite having a known software issue.
******Are you able to verify if IT is aware of this software issue and if or when will a software patch be available ???**** -
Safari No Longer Working, Freezes, Won't Load Pages, Can't Find Server
I recently encountered a problem with Safari. I upgraded to version 3.1 last week, and since then Safari has been hanging some. I upgraded to Safari version 3.1.1 last night, hoping this would help. Now things are worse.
Safari is essentially unusable. It freezes when I first open it. My home page is apple.com, and it won't ever load this page. If I click to open another page, it will work rarely. If I click to open the same page several times, it will load but very slowly.
I have a Windows machine on the same router and it works fine. It's a hard wired router, not wireless. I am using the Ethernet port. I haven't added any new software or plug-ins in the last week. I also tried to download Firefox and it wouldn't work either. So it seems to be something on that computer.
Any idea what it could be. Every other programs seems to work fine. I like Safari and want to continue using it. Please help.Hello jeffery:
Lets try a couple of things (in sequence, try the next if the one before does not help):
Run repair disk from your software install DVD
Run permission repair from your internal HD
Clear the safari cache, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
If none of that helps, it is probably time for an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
An archive and install will install a fresh copy of OS X while preserving your files, programs, and settings. As always, a good backup before software changes is recommended.
