Safari 5.1.4 update: question with gmail

after the update. i now can not get on my gmail account on my '08 imac. it's a dark gray blank screen.

Hello,
If found that my Safari was opening in 32-bit mode. Try disabling this by going to Applications folder. Ctrl-click Safari app and select get info. Make sure the "Open in 32-bit mode" box is unchecked.
That solved my problems. Hope it helps.

Mail dying on "Updating Cache" with Gmail IMAP

Many times every day, Mail appears to die while updating its cache on my Gmail account (IMAP). It works fine with all other POP and IMAP accounts but something with the Gmail account causes it go die. I have to force quit to get out of it and re-launch and, invariable, it happens again. Never when I am looking, only when mail is in the background (that could just be dumb luck). Anyone else having anything like this?

I fixed this problem by doing a "manual" rebuild which included the following:
- Archived my mailboxes
- Quit Mail
- Moved my Mail folder out of my Library folder
- Moved the Mail preference file out of the preferences folder
- Started Mail which now thought it was starting for the first time
- Entered my account information
- Imported my Mail folders that had been archived
- Quit Mail
- Copied back my rule, signatures, etc., from the Mail folder I had moved out of the Library folder to the new Mail folder.
- Started Mail
Everything now works fine for me.
Disclaimer: This it the procedure I remember doing at work and I think it's correct. If you are going to try this make sure that you have backed up first and understand what you are doing.

Question: How to update app with a new version with new SQLite tables?

We're updating an application in the App Store, and haven't yet found good information on how to deal with updates to the SQLite Schema and data that should be transferred between apps.
Anyone successfully done this?
Q1: Does the old DB files stay on the iPhone after update? Does the installer do a "diff" between them? In our case, we just extended tables, rather than changing them, in hope that we can successfully move the data for users gracefully.
Q2: If the installer does in fact wipe all the data and files on the app before install, is there a way to access the data before it updates, so the app can gracefully update the data?

to Templeton Peck:
Good Sir,
I would thoroughly appreciate you responding in a helpful manner rather than punishing my question with no regard to my question. Your harsh, quick, and false judgement was certainly not appreciated here. In regards to the macbook release: I was simply wondering IF there were releases of information that I had not heard of. I wasn't asking you to spill rumors of never released info.
Maybe you should read this material a little more carefully without hastily looking forward to ripping apart a wondering mac user.
But in regards to the SQL, I enjoy the following:

Why Does Safari Use Excessive Memory with Gmail?

I am running Safari 7.0.1 along with Maverics (10.9.1) on a 2011 MacBook Air with 4 GB of memory. Just recently I have begun to notice excessive memory usage when using Gmail. I have iStat Menus as well as something called MemoryKeeper so I can monitor memory use in real time.
The table below shows numbers taken from Activity Monitor with each of the sites running in a single tab. The Safari Web Content is through the roof with Gmail compared to My Yahoo or indeed with any other single site. In Gmail it starts out above 500 MB and slowly comes down to the lower end indicated if I do nothing. If I open tabs with both My Yahoo and Gmail, I sink below 100 MB and if I have three tabs open I'm heading to zero. As far as I can tell, the excessive memory useage only occurs with Gmail.
Process
Yahoo
Gmail
Safari
156 MB
167 MB
Safari Web Content
96 MB
531-338 MB
Kernel Task
464 MB
464 MB
Free
662 MB
210 MB
Typically I will close Safari and start it again if I get much below 100 MB. I usually have to close Safari at the end of the day to refresh it for the next day. This has only become a problem within the last month or so, and I am at a loss to explain it. I thought it might be Mavericks related (though I have been running Mavericks since its release), but then the Safari I have on my 5 year old Mac Mini running Snow Leopard gives me similar results.
When I run Google Chrome I don't have any of these problems. Indeed, though it is not my preference, I am having to use it more and more for day to day activities or I have to stick with one tab if I am going back and forth between Gmail and other sites. I have not seen this problem reported elsewhere, so I have to believe there is something going on in my system. I have cleared the cache one time on both systems, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

I would not have even tried this app had I not heard about it on the Mac Rountable podcast (episode #222), where it received favorable comments from otherwise knowledgeable people. It also has a 4.5 star rating on the Mac App Store with 706 5-Star ratings out of 1,049. If you add up the 5-Star and 4-Star ratings you get close to 1,000 favorable rates right there. I have to wonder if people really know what's going on. Since the most obvious detrimental effects for me were centered around using Safari with Gmail on Mavericks, others must not be using that lethal combination. As I mentioned, using Google Chrome does not seem to have any obvious deliterious effects.
Well, there's going to be one more 1-Star rating reflecting my experience.

Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times,mans it still doesn't work.

Has anyone else been having trouble with safari ever since the update? I have restarted several times, it still doesn't work.

Greetings Blueleoapple,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D

Is anyone else having trouble with gmail since last ios 6 update?

I used to have no trouble with my email on my ipad. Since the latest update, I'm not able to send and sometimes not able to receive gmail. In the past, I used the ipad's built-in mail and it worked fine. Then, when that got buggy, I tried the gmail app for ipad. That works for a short period of time and then that's having the same problems: can't send email, and takes forever to connect with gmail server.
Does anyone else have this problem? I have no trouble with my phone (not an iphone) or my imac.
This is really problematic for me as I use my ipad primarily for email.
Thanks,
Bob

adding to the confusion, is now mail isn't accepting my username/password.... never seen an apple app fail this badly before...

I have my Launch Vidoe ready and the "share" drop down is gray so no ability to send it anywhere. what is this? I went on to update the computer for other reasons, now Safari 6.0.2 asit interferred with downloads; and from OS X basic to Mtn Lion 10.8.2.

Mail.app with gmail setup question

hello,
i have a large gmail account i have been using with mail.app for a long time and all works normally. however the "gmail style" is getting a bit out of control for me with the duplicates in sent/all mail. my processing is simple, after reading an email i archive it (so my inbox is always clean) so it means i move it to all mail. but since sent messages are also in all mail i'm pretty sure mail.app is storing these messages twice and whenever you search for messages you always have to filter through the duplicates. I think there are some newer ways to sync mail.app with gmail and i just wanted to ask what's the best solution to this common issue?
thank you,
rick

thanks for the reply. yes that is what i do sorry if i wasn't clear enough. actually the messages coming in are not duplicated since once i move them to All Mail there is only one copy there in All Mail. it's the sent messages since they are saved once in Sent and once in All Mail. does that make sense and how do other deal with this?
thanks again,
rick

Update question in a large database with partitions

Hello All!
Please help me in the following issue; I'm given a database that has partitions from 0 to 63. In each partition there can be 0 to any number of a given field like "NAME" (this may the primary key I think).
How can I update a field in a row corresponding to a "NAME" at a given partition range, if I don't know which NAME belongs to which partition.
Problems: there are around a million of this NAME field and the fastest method is only acceptable. I think I make an update command with a logical condition with a partition range (x<partition<y) and has a where clause like this:
NAME like value1 or like value2.... or like value(10^6) (here I enumerate all of the NAME field) : is it a good way?
How much is the longest where statement that can be given as a query to a database?
Or is it another way to do it?
Thank you for your kind help in advance,
Balage

I have a list that contains the NAMES, like:
110
111
112
113
The table is the following
NAME OLD PART
110 0 23
111 1 23
112 1 56
The NAME list is in a txt file, the OLD field should be updated according to the NAMES, and I'm writing a perl script to do the job. A thread is given a partition (PART) interval. Like the first thread works on
the PART numbers from 1 to 3... the 2nd is on from 4 to 6.. etc.
The problem is, that the NAME list is huge and I don't know which NAMEs are in a
given PART interval.
I thought this command will do the job:
UPDATE table SET old = new where 1<= part <=3 AND name LIKE 110 OR LIKE 111 OR LIKE... stc
how long can be the where clause after "name LIKE" as I have plenty of NAME records?
Hope you can understand it, sorry for my bad English,
regards,
Balage

Safari 3.1 from software update hangs with 2% installation complete

I tried to update safari via software update and each time the OS restarts to complete the install it hangs around the 2-3% installation complete. I also installed the security update and that seems to have completed properly (although now i'm not sure)
When i restart the mac by holding in the power button the OS boots up but safari won't start from the dock and the update is still listed in software update.
I would download it from the apple download but would like to resolve any problems that might be stopping software update working properly

Did something similar myself. Used timemachine to roll back safari to before the update and used that version to download the update from Apple.
I tried to get the download from a windows machine but I guess Apple were trying to be helpful and detected that I was using a windows machine and internet explorer so wouldn't show me the mac editions of the download. (would have liked a direct link to the other editions (mac/intel mac/PowerPC) on the download page because every search i entered brought me back to the same page

Lion Address Book problem - all of over 2,000 contacts disappeared - one mysteriously reappeared - then they all reappeared during resync with Gmail!

The subject iine pretty much describes what happened.
I am wondering if it is anything to do with what looks like an odd file in the directory ~ Library -> Application Support -> Address Book
As well as the "real" database file there is this zero bytes one:
AddressBook-v22.abcddb.0F392545-78F2-4AE6-8D30-457C138332B2.unknown
From the date, it might be something to do with installing and linking Cobook to Address Book maybe?
These are the files and folders in that directory (sub-directory files not shown):
I have enabled the debug menu in Address Book but have not been able to find any info about how to use it. I lie! I did read that I might possibly have been able to "retrieve" the contacts using the debug menu "Force Refresh" - however that was after I had started to resync with Gmail contacts.
I realised that something odd was going on during resync when I saw that there were over 4,000 contacts being processed rather than the 2,000 or so that I was expecting. Initially, none of the contacts groups from Gmail were showing in Address Book after this partial sync (I stopped it when I saw what was happening). However, after quitting and restarting Address Book, the groups appeared again.
I have not lost my contact data - as well as Gmail contacts I also have an Address Book backup from about two weeks ago and also the backup created by Cobook about two weeks ago. (Installed Cobook as it looked like a very efficient way of getting to view individual contacts quickly - Quicksilver just isn't finding them at all). I used third party app "Contacts Sync for Google Gmail" to link Address Book with Gmail as it gives you options about what to do for each duplicate card that it identifies.
I then spent a lot of time sorting through the contacts on Address Book, finding duplicates, updating data, etc. with the intention of managing contacts in Address Book from then on, rather than in Gmail. Not all of these changes are reflected in the Cobook backup or Gmail.
My worry is, with Lion being such a god-awful Pig's Ear in so many more ways than this, that this Address Book mess might happen again.
I seem to have spent most of my time over the last month wrestling with the numerous problems that keep cropping up with Lion and getting little to show for it.
WARNING! FOOT-STAMPING WHINGE ABOUT LION - LOOK AWAY AND DOWN TO THE HOWLING FACES - IT WON'T BE ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE:
I gave up on OSX when I tried Panther - that was dreadful - but was lured back by Tiger, have used Leopard very comfortably for about 5 years, had a very happy couple of months with Snow Leopard and now - this mess that is Lion! I have repaired OSX install permissions and "home user" permissions time and again, TinkerTooled it until I am blue in the face and it seems that every few days I manage to fix something and then almost immediately something else screws up. I can't upgrade to Mountain Lion on this machine and am seriously considering installing or running Linux as these problems with Lion are just never-ending - and then there are all the other stupid changes that have subsequently been sensibly reverted, mitigated or worked around in ML).
I have never bothered much with Address Book or Mail in the past as I have found them too limited. I have used either the Gmail web interface or Thunderbird. However, Gmail has started crashing my favourite browsers (Seamonkey and Firefox), Thunderbird has got just a bit too complicated and I cannot get Quicksilver to play ball with Gmail. The Lion version of Address Book is better than Gmail Contacts and Mail Smart Folders can emulate Gmail filters and labels - a huge improvement. So, just when these apps look good enough to be worth bothering with, they come part and parcel with what I have seen mocked, and rightly, as "Apple Vista"!
Sorry for that but I am about at the end of my tether with it all ;-/
I would be very grateful if anyone can offer any advice about:
1) That strange looking zero bytes file in the Address Book folder.
2) Whether the Address Book debug menu options might be of any help in this situation?
There seem to be lots of people having problems with Address Book in both Lion and Mountain Lion, if not exactly this issue, so maybe the answers will help others too.
Fingers crossed!
Ms Mousette
ps. In the product list to tick for this question they are grouped so I cannot specify that this is actually nothing to do with the iPhone. I have got a load of contacts on my iPhone too but I am not going to sync them until I have got this issue sorted out.

Could this font be the cause of the problem?
Possibly, since that font is not the one that Address Book uses and there is no method to specify or change the font used by Address Book. You could have recovered your Address Book contacts without syncing, so that could also be part of the problem. You should always make a keep a backup of your Address Book on your computer and in another safe location whenever you make any change to it.
May I ask why you haven't updated to 10.4.11 yet, as it provides various bug fixes and security enhancements?

How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

Mail does not work properly with gmail

Hi everyone. I am a very recent switcher and the switching process was great and extremely easy, but there has only been one problem that I can't seem to solve. Getting Gmail to work with Apple Mail. I followed all the steps on gmail's website on, how to set up gmail for POP, and how to configure Apple Mail to work with gmail, but I still can't get it to download all my emails. It only downloads some old emails, marks them all as unread, and then doesn't act like I have any other emails(which I do). Under system preferences, I have the account type labeled as POP, the incoming mail server set to pop.gmail.com, my username and password set, and the smtp box set to smtp.gmail.com. Under server settings I have the server port at 587, the ssl box checked and the outgoing mail server as stmp.gmail, like I said before. Under the advanced tab of the accounts section of apple mail preferences, I have the account enable box checked, the include when automatically checking for new mail box checked, and down at the bottom, I have the port set at 995 with the ssl box checked. In gmail, under my forwarding and POP settings, I have it set, under the POP download section to: Enable POP for all mail(even mail that's already been downloaded). Also, the status is set to "POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/13/05(which was when i first got my gmail account). Like I said before, Apple Mail at first starting downloading all the mail in my gmail account and then stopped after about 1000 to 2000 messages which only got it to about mid-2006 or earlier. Yes, I've run software update recently, too. Does anyone know why it would not dowload the rest of my mail? All help is very greaty appreciated. Thanks.

I just put my gmail account in Apple Mail and it works fine - even transferring my old gmail messages. Maybe your problem is STORAGE - see this from Mail Help:
About .Mac Mail
.Mac Mail works with existing email clients like Mac OS X Mail, Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator.
You can also check email when you're away from your own computer. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a supported web browser to check your .Mac Mail. To access .Mac Mail on the web using Mac OS X version 10.3 or later, use Safari 1.2 or later or Firefox 1.0.1 or later. If you're using Microsoft Windows XP, use Firefox 1.0.1 or later or Internet Explorer 6 or later.
Use POP or IMAP protocol to suit your working style and set up automatic email forwarding or replies.
Your email address is your .Mac member name followed by @mac.com, and the password for accessing email is the same as your member password.
Note: AOL recently added support for IMAP, so you can now read your AOL mail using Mac OS X Mail. You cannot use AOL's email program to read .Mac Mail messages directly, but you can set up your .Mac Mail account to forward email to your AOL account.
.Mac comes with 1 gigabyte (GB) of combined email and iDisk storage. .Mac trial members and email-only accounts get 50 megabytes (MB) of storage; Family Pack sub-accounts get 256 MB. You can designate storage space to your .Mac Mail account and your iDisk. For example, if you need more storage space for your email messages, you can set your .Mac Mail storage capacity to 800 MB and reserve 224 MB of storage for your iDisk. You can also increase your combined email and iDisk storage to a total of 2 GB or 4 GB by purchasing more storage. (If you have a trial account, email-only account, or Family Pack sub-account, you cannot increase your storage amount.)
Your .Mac Mail storage is automatically set to 512 MB unless you change it. You can't assign less than 15 MB of storage to your .Mac Mail account.
.Mac comes with 10 GB of data transfer per month and a 10 MB maximum message size. You can increase your monthly data transfer limit up to 250 GB per month by adding more storage space to your .Mac account. You can also purchase up to 10 additional email accounts. (Email-only accounts get 50 MB of storage space but no additional .Mac services, and Family Pack sub-accounts get 256 MB of storage space, but cannot purchase additional email accounts.)
If I had 2000 emails on my computer I would shut it down and never turn it on again.

After uninstalling some useless pgms and updating others my gmail and facebook screens lost their icons, formatting, and entries.

I run firefox on a window7 machine. I uninstalled couponamazing, verizon, and a few other programs. Then I updated flash and google chrome. I never used google chrome before. Upon going into firefox my gmail and facebook pages were not formatted correctly (all b+W with open boxes, no icons). I then uninstalled google chrome. I read some help questions and cleared my cash, removed history, and reset firefox. Still have the same problems with gmail and FB.

Safari crashes when trying to log into Gmail

Hello.
Does anyone else have this problem? Whenever I try to sign in to Gmail, Safari freezes (the little rainbow circle keeps going around) and I have to force-quit out of it.
I figured maybe I just need to reinstall Safari. I had Safari 1.3.1, but went back and re-installed version 1.2. When I tried to install the 1.3.1 update, it won't let me. The installation window is giving me the red arrow on the harddrive sign.
What do I do? I now have the older version of Safari than before and I still cannot sign into Gmail.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

manja,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Safari 1.3.1 was released with 10.3.9. You can download and reapply the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9, or you can use Pacifist to extract and install Safari 1.3 from the Combined Update package.
You should then be able to install in succession Safari 1.3.1 and Safari 1.3.2, and Security Update 2006-002 (10.3.9 Client).
If you run into Safari prohibitive installation problems, you may have to remove any Safari.pkg files from the Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts Folder and then reattempt reinstallation.
