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

  • 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.

  • When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

    Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

  • My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file

    I recently have installed Adobe Master Suite CS6 Collection. My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file. This happens every time when open a new pdf file. My operating system is Windows 7 pro ( Lenovo-64 bits). Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:

  • Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

    I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything.  I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding.  It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
    The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks.  I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

  • Is anyone having trouble with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1 OS?

    Is anyone having problems with the "home" button not responding after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    You will not belive how I accidently solved this - !!!
    Yes I had the problem immediately after the 5.1.1 'cloud' upgrade, the problems started (on my iphone 4) ... I followed the 'get power down button, then hold HOME for 30 secs' solution, but no result, nothing seemed to work and I was starting to get a bit agressive with the keep it pushed, multiple double click frustrations, icopybot multigesture solutions etc. and paid money ... but this comedy solution now works ...
    I discovered it because I ordered a waterproof case for my iphone for my motorcycle ... I've just fitted it to my iphone and all the problems have gone ??? what! ... so wondering why I looked at what the home button on the casing was doing - it was pressing ACROSS the home button i.e. it converted my finger point into a wider 'PRESS
    so taking the new case off, instead of using the point of my thumb to press HOME, I used the flat of my thumb to emulate it ....and initially nothing, so I wondered if it wa making better 'cross button' contacts, so I licked my thumb, wiped it and then tried again! - it worked!
    I can't explain it but it seems to work - try it! if the double click on HOME doesn't work lick your thumb dry it and try again! I've just done it again
    what a mad techno world we live in! :-)

  • BC4j/JSP Application not responding after some time - when deployed on 9ias

    Hi,

    When the application deployed by BC4J/JSP not responding, does the sample JSP application still works? i.e. does any other application respond? Does 1 user respond? Is the database source (JDBC), running Oracle 8.1.7? What is the platform running the database (e.g. local NT database)?

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Is there any mechanism that cleans up these connections (back down to the initial or some other minimum I would guess) or do they hang around until either the app server or database shuts down?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    There is currently no mechanism for reducing the connection pool size after a period of high activity. Recently this has been frequently requested and as such will be implemented in the next production release.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>We have verified this in manual testing. However, when the load tool script exits it doesn't seem to release resources. We know this because we keep seeing our database connections go up and up as more tests are run. Further, we also seem to see more than one connection per "virtual user". For example, when I connect 5 users to the app in manual testing, I get 5 connections. But, when we run a test using the tool, we get 395 database sessions for 200 users. We are having a bit of difficulty understanding why the behavior is different.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Assuming that the you are performing your manual testing against the same instance of the application on which you are performing your load testing, I would assume that the connections are being released to the pool at the end of the request. One possible reason for the approximate 2:1 ratio between connections and virtual users may be BC4J's use of internal connections. What version of BC4J are you using?
    BC4J requires an internal connection to support state management and spill to disk. The internal connections are pooled with the transaction connection and only held for the duration of the persistence operation. However, if the web server is very busy then a large number of synchronous persistence requests may be received which would explain the eventual 2:1 ratio in the pool's high water mark.
    If the user start times and think times are staggered in order to reduce the incidence of synchronous persistence requests does the ratio of connections to web sessions stabilize at some lower number (i.e. 1.5:1)

  • Firefox Not Responding after Installing Microsoft Office 10

    After installing Microsoft Office 10 (student and home edition) on my laptop, I noticed that Firefox is going into the state 'Not Responding' every time I access it - it takes about 10 secs to 'think' and then comes back online. It continues to do this every time I want to access a new page, new link, click on mail in Yahoo Mail, etc. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    1) Check the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/JServ/etc/logs/jvm
    has servral logs for OACoreGroup Servlets that are initialied
    2) You might have to enable the debug option in jserv.properties and jserv.conf
    (find IsItWorking.java in Metalink for the appropriate note )
    3) If this is 403 forbidden then check trusted.conf alongside httpd.conf
    pls keep posted about how this issue got resolved.

    JSP not responding after installing 11.5.10.2 on IBM
    HACMP
    i have finished installing Oracle applications
    11.5.10.2 on IBM clusters (HACMP version 5.1)its a
    multinode setup with mutual failover. other
    applications are working fine. the installation went
    well. but the final part on the middle tier , during
    the post install checks it says JSP not responding. I
    checked the apache error-log and saw the follwoing
    entry
    [Sun Apr 23 21:04:21 2006] [error] [client
    172.29.200.74] client denied by server configuration:
    /appl/oracle/devcomn/portal/
    DEV_erpappssrv/oprocmgr-service
    >
    that bafles me because that ip address was not used
    in the installation. its the persistent ip address of
    the HACMP. the service ip that was used in the
    configuration file was 172.29.200.75
    however there is no mention of this in the error
    log.i also edited the oprocmgr.conf in the
    Apache/conf directory after which i dont get the
    error however the servlets pages then hangs and
    returns page cannot be displayed error on internet
    explorer. no error is registered on the error log.
    the jdk am using is 1.4.2 which is the recommended
    one.
    what this means is that i cannot access the self
    service pages and as you know you need self service
    pages to access the application in 11.5.10.2
    i opened a TAR with oracle on 8th April 2006 and till
    today i have not been able to get a solution.
    I am hoping that i will get someone in this forum who
    has met a similar problem or who has an insight into
    how we can solve this problem already am weeks past
    the target go live!!!
    Please Kindly help
