Safari 6 feels like beta software! Eeek!

So I quickly installed Safari 6 on the day of release. I ended up with several problems.
1. Safari 6 crashes alot more than Safari 5 did....particularly when the dev tools are turned on.
2. Sometimes Safari 6 doesn't render the whole page. It's a really strange bug.
3. Safari 6 is sometimes unresponsive?
4. The dev tools don't make any sense. I was one of those who preferred to develop for Safari first. The tools seem like a HOT mess now. I like that they look new and all but they crash the entire browser or slow it down significantly at a time when I need it to work most.
It's like working with a slightly faster less stable version of FF. Its the most unstable Webkit release I've seen so far. I can't believe developers tested this out and thought it was ready to ship or maybe Apple just doesn't want developers developing for it's products. Safari 6 feels like self sabotage.

Please use the confidential forums in the Dev Center, thanks.

Safari 5 extremely slow and unstable, feels like early beta

Hi,
since i upgraded to safari 5 the browser is extremely slow on loading webpages, unresponsive and often can't establish any connection to websites at all. one time it even crashed.
the whole thing feels like an early beta. i have no addons or what so ever installed, safari 4 worked incredibly well before.
since i've read many similar postings concerning this issue i hope apple will be offering a fix soon...!

I have the same problems! .. Some times I have no internet connection, but if I start up Firefox or google chrome, I get internet connection.
Often for no reason Safari stops responding .. It's a shame b/c it's extremely fast vs Firefox
Seems like I have to stick to Chrome until a update follows
btw. Nice job on the look and feel on the Safari 5 expecialy the combined history search in the address line looking forward to a stable release

i been trying to restore my ipod on itunes but a lil box always pops up saying that my ipod software update server cannot contacted i feel like i tryed everything idk what to do i need help

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
-iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

First 'impression' of Safari 3.0 Beta in the first 5 minuites of use.

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and just downloaded Safari 3.0 for Windows Public Beta (Not included Quicktime)
The installation is processed smoothly.
I used it 5 minuites and my first impression is nothing but BUGs BUGs BUGs.
Alway Crash:
1. When click anything concerning Bookmarks, Safari crashes. (In other word, cannot use Bookmarks.)
2. When fill in any form, Safari crashes.
3. When access any pages with Javascript, Safari crashes.
Sometime Crash:
1. When access some pages, Safari randomly crashes. Ordinary pages such as this website itself. The symtom is both CPU core work reach 100% and needed to restart computer.
2. Randomly show message like "file not found, need reinstall." in any page, of course, even this page.
Bugs:
1. Cannot click on the button on the taskbar to minimize.
2. When minimize and restore, the Safari window going in restore down state.
3. Memory leak as I monitering RAM usage: increases more than 100MB when open Safari.
4. Font smoothing shows almost illegible.
Let down function:
1. Safari 3.0 for Windows Public Beta is the slowest web browser among all of browsers in my notebook. (IE7, Firefox, Opera, Cameleon Browser.)
STOP! saying "This is just a BETA!".
I love to test beta software and report bugs. I'm not a techical geeks so my testing method is to use them just as I always use in everyday life. No tweak or special use I squeesh to the program. I understand the BETA is not FINAL and of course, have more bugs than FINAL.
But this is not what I call bugs. I call "cannot be used."
How can you guy call this "PUBLIC" Beta? Have your programmer even see it in action in Windows before release to public?
This application is the second Apple application I experienced. (The first is iTunes.) It totally let me down because when compare with Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 I tested last year, Safari 3.0 Public Beta is not in my sight.
How can you apply guy convince me that Apple is better than Microsoft since I compare just an essential small program and found no pros, even both are in beta state?
Hope to see Beta 2 with no major crash in the first 5 minuites usage.

Downgrading via Archive and install is notoriously unreliable. It is much safer to simply retrieve your backup you made before you installed the update after an erase and install. Of course you make at least two backups. Selective file recovery may be in order, such as found in migrating from PowerPC to Intel Macs:

Safari 4.0 Beta - Simply amazing!

Unbelievable! ---- Bravo!
I haven't been wow'd by an Internet browser since Microsoft Internet Explorer .5 Beta!
I can't believe what Apple has accomplished in such a short period of time. I've been using Firefox, which is still a fantastic browser, but Safari 4.0 beats Firefox in performance (speed) and features in every way.
I love the fact that I can boot-up Safari 4.0 right into the Bookmarks folder and that it has the look, feel and functionality of Vista Aero.
This is truly an amazing browser, and it might become my default browser by the end of the month.
I haven't encountered any bugs or problems at all in the 3 days that I've been testing it.
To the folks at Apple, a big THANK YOU!

How do I download the Safari 4.0 beta on my iPhone?
You can't until and unless Apple makes an update available which includes it. Software designed for a Mac or PC can't be used on an iPhone.

I want Safari 4 Public Beta back.

I know the Beta version was for testing, but I liked my tabs on top of the window! I just ran Software Update, but shouldn't have installed the new version of Safari! It was fine (except I had to reach for the corner of each tab to drag, but I got used to it). I googled "Safari 4 Public Beta," but all the links referred me to the new version!
Also, is it just me or does the new version load slower than the Beta version?

Please refer to one of the other many,many,many threads on this same subject here in the forums. They will give you the download link and instructions to reinstall the beta, but do remember that you will do so at some risk, because Safari 4 has addressed over 50 security issues that were not in the beta release. Sometimes it is better to post you specific issues so other users can help you address them and get Safari 4 running as it should like it does for most of the other millions of users who downloaded it and are running it with no problems whatsoever (and so don't bother posting here in the ER.) Good luck
Cheers

HT1338 This morning my mac has started pressing th 'one' key whenever it feels like it. Any ideas?

So I work from home mostly on my mac book pro, which i bought early in 2011. I set and started working exactly as i would every other day.
The mac took no irregular knocks, nothing was spilt on it but it's decided to put 1's in whenever it feels like it. I've deleted a whole bunch just writing this!
I tried to update the software because i figured it might correct a bug. I also googled the problem to see if anyone else had posted something similar but i haven't had any luck.
I don't feel comfortable taking the mac apart and my nearest apple store is a little out of the way so any help on here would be great!
oh and sometimes the 1 doesn't work, but that came with the problem never had an issue before
Many Thanks to anyone out there!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
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.

Feeling like a total fool, now that I have solved for the most part Audigy LS probl

As the subject says, I feel like a total fool for having for the most part solved my problems with the Audigy LS. I have to say I'm sorry to Creative Labs for being so hot headed in my previous posts, as I got to thinking about it logically and decided to try a few more things before I gave up entirely.
Uninstalled the drivers/software and moved it to the last PCI slot on my motherboard, which hel
ps.
Didn't mess with Dolby Digital Decoding, which is off by default when the drivers are installed.
Set PCI Latency to 64 in the bios of my motherboard, which helps, for some reason the card doesn't like a PCI Latency of 32, beats me why it doesn't.
I do know the Audigy LS, will slow down to a crawl for processing soundif the PCI latency is set to 28, doesn't have a problem with a PCI Latency of either 64 or 96. Found this out on my system.
I can play games now, with minimal suttering. Ultimately, I came to the realization that the Audigy LS is for lack of better terminology a budget/low end soundcard and that it's time to upgrade, as it doesn't do hardware processing of EAX. Decided to update to an Audigy 2 within the next few weeks. I might get the Audigy 2 Value card if it is any good, as I already have firewire on my motherboard.
Here's my system specs, if it will help Creative Labs in trying to find a solution, though I do think a new set of drivers for the Audigy LS would help dramatically.
Intel 865PERLK motherboard
GB of PC3200 memory
3.06GHZ 533FSB Pentium 4
ATI Radeon X800 Pro
Highpoint Rocket 00 Ultra IDE card with 3 Western Digital harddri'ves attached.
Netgear FA3 network card for net connection
SB Audigy LS
LG 52X CDROM, LG 52X32X52X CDROM, LG 6X DVDROM

Almost forgot, the games that give me the most trouble for stuttering are C&C Generals and Lord Of The Rings: The Battle For Middle Earth.
I'm going to dig through each game's ini file, and search on the internet to see if there is anything that could help me. It's also a possibility that the stuttering could be a bug in ATI's Catalyst 5. drivers.

Any one else notice Mountain Lion very slow...feel like I am back on a PC !!!

Any one else notice Mountain Lion very slow...feel like I am back on a PC !!! Open files, programs, rebooting, even shutting down takes longer. Am I the only one?

Must have been bad hardware would be my guess. That's the problem with vendors though. Windows really isn't the issue if you have the right hardware. It's like a Mac, really.
The problem is that PC vendors have a tendency to rush their machines out with bad chipsets and a mish-mash of conflicting hardware. Take Vista for example. Besides the fact that it was a resource hog out of the box, there was really nothing wrong with it.
Vendors on the other hand, rushed their PCs out without the proper hardware to run it in order to sell, sell, sell, which is what gave it a bad name. So yeah, people had issues. It also suffered the same issues as Lion and ML right now due to the fact that it wouldn't run on older machines and there was an uproar in the online community--sounds familiar enough to me.
Oddly enough, even macs are running at the same specs as Windows today.
The majority of issues people tend to have is more with their PCs than with Windows and they have a tendency to blame Windows because of this without realising that MS develops software; not hardware (xbox aside). Whereas Apple develops both.
Millenium was terrible though--I won't deny that.
OSX may appear to work better, but that's because everything is designed to work together and we pay a premium for it because of the quality control on the machine. I can't help but feel that Apple takes a little more pride in their machines then PC Vendors do. In fact, Windows probably runs better on my Macbook Pro than it does on my PCs. I use it for very little these days though. I happen to like OSX and I'm addicted to the App Store.
Basically, my whole outlook on the two is that MS is a people pleaser, they try to appeal to everybody and a plethora of PC configurations. It suffers because of this. Apple is a little more arrogant (but in a good way). They stick to their own configurations and don't worry about being everybody's machine. They take pride in their designs and configurations and they succeed because of this. It also allows them to take bolder steps.
Neither is perfect and both have their strengths and weaknesses. Though I feel that Windows is often picked on for the wrong reasons, just as Mac users are often picked on by the PC community. It all boils down to a lack of understanding since Macs don't only appeal to the dumb and Windows does work quite well if you have the right configuration. No insult implied--it's just the common outlook from both communities and it irks me on both sides.

Am I the only person that feels like the salesman lied to me, wrote up contract wrong, etc?

I had purchased two Iphone 4's without contract and enjoyed not having the bill and extra fees every month. Through the prepaid carrier, my son and I didn't even know we could use a laptop or anything with our phones. Luck would have it, the only thing I had left through Verizon was my USB device that I put on my computer and after 3 years, it broke. I went to Verizon to purchase a new one, and pay cash for it to not be under contract, the first salesman assured me it was compatible like the other but after four days I had to take it back for lack of connection. 79.00 was what I paid, when returned, of course I got stuck paying the restocking fee of 35.00 and a new sales person named Cofe (at Jonesboro location) comes to assist me. He talked me into the wifi jetback for 20 or so with the NEW TWO YEAR CONTRACT as he understood I would be needing for portable devices. Had to pay full price for it and wait for my 50 bucks on the rebate card. He spots my son scoping out the 4S, he said he could make the deal worth my while if we wanted to get newer phones...never telling me how much the cost. Against my better judgement, we got new phones, promised new free Lifeproof cases, etc. I told him my funds were tight and I only wanted a plan of about 160 or 180 total for all. Paid the small amount he said was due, then get a bill for 443 a couple days later. We kept going over the data on our phones, not knowing that he in fact set us up to pay 220 a month for 10 gb data, use of jetpack and two smart phones. Paying over for what we had on the mifi we didn't know exitsted caused us to have 30 too much on device and usually 30 overcharge data. Fianlly look at bill wondering why I couldn't get it paid up and 6 calls to customer service, digging through receipts, 10 hours of phone bill hunting, and numerous hours on the phone brought to my attention that he had set me up on almost the most expensive plan, charged us 99 each for cases, 99 for two new contracts and swiped a gift card for 400 to my account without any knowledge. Also, this was a new plan since not under contract, and HE TOOK OUR PHONES that I could've sold for a small chunk and there is not a trace of where they went? He made himself a sale that day!! They have removed some of the charges since I took back the FREE cases, etc., but this has been a horrible experience. I begged the people to please let me out of my contract because now I am unemployed and sure cant afford this and I feel like he did some underhanded tactics selling and not starting the plan off right. He didn't have to sell me the jetpack, we can run laptop of phones, and I guess if I were only gonna get 99 bucks for a three month old phone, I wouldve taken it elsewhere. It's amazing that of all documents scanned in My Verizon, it does not really show a trade in, which he didn't explain anyway, nor does it show what or the actual value. I get horrible service in my area and it drags on the web.not taking long to use the data. In the last week, my phone was cut off so I had to go to the prepaid place and port over. Paid enough to keep my son's phone and laptop and got told if I dont have remaining balance in a few days, they won't port my number back to Verizon, service interrupt on all and then the process server will get to bang on my door. I have never been so disgusted with service and some of the people in that building by their actions. One tried but of course he took up for his dude Cofe.....I don't know what to do now, try to pay it or tell them take the phones and FIND MY OLD ONES then go back prepay. Read this customer service specialist, because I am pretty sure DECEIT, RUNNING GIFT CARDS, AND WRONGFULLY SETTING UP NEW CONTRACT is grounds for an official claim. How did y'all like that bid long confusing mess of a story? :/

Uhhhh, hmmmmm, WHAT???
Sorry, I have no idea what you are ranting about. I think I would be more upset for running over my phone.

I feel like i am going to cry after my 3 hour update generated an 9006 error message. apple support tried to restore my ipod and when they made an error they just returned the thing to me and said sorry. sorry is not enough for breaking it. it's dead.

my ipod locked while it was in my bag. i took it out and tried all possible passcodes that i had. my internet was slow to update and restore it so i took it to the Apple Store. My home button was broken and ive been using just the accessibility home button for a couple of months now. i agreed to have it restored for 500php. While it was being restored by the apple technician. she encountered an error and broke my eff in iPod! she just returned it to me and thought it was just okay!! now my internet is back and i waited 3 hours!!! for the update to finish and now im getting an error message. 9006!!! what the heck am i supposed to do to fix this thing and is Apple really forcing me to buy a new one?>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
im a loyal Apple fan but now i feel like getting a samsung or an HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preview will not print 8.5" x 14", only when the computer feels like it

This problem has gone on for too long and I don't know what else to do. I have flyers that I cannot print because preview refuses to recognize the document size correctly and consistantly, and I have no other program that can print to our copier.
This happens with any PDF that is not 8.5" x 11". Both 8.5" x 14" and 11" x 17" exhibit the same problem. First I open a PDF in Preview, then I change the document size in Page Setup to "US Legal" and scale of 100% (the scale is always wrong because it is automatically resizing the document to fit on 8.5" x 11"). Then I go to print, check under Paper Handling and under Destination Paper Size is says "Use documents paper size: US Letter". This does not change no matter how many times I visit Page Setup and no matter how many times I save and re-save the file.
At random it will recognize the document size as "US Legal", but this happens only when the computer feels like it, at least that's what it seems like because there are no other settings that are different between one file and another that would cause it to print one as Letter and the next one as Legal.
Some PDFs are created in Photoshop, while other are created in Acrobat. I cannot print directly from Acrobat because of some weird problem with our copier; I cannot print from any Adobe CS3 software.
I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

com.apple.print.custompapers.plist didn't exist on my machine, but com.apple.Preview.plist did. I moved it to the desktop as you suggested, opened the files in Preview and this time it worked. Thanks so much!
I tried looking at the file, but it didn't make any sense to me. Must have been something in there that caused the problem, though.

Does anyone can help me on this issue from Apple Developer?

Safari 4 Public Beta and plugin problems

At the risk of provoking the wagging of many fingers and the raising of many more eyebrows all wondering what was I thinking when I installed a public beta of anything on my editing system I feel (sheepishly) compelled to report that the installation of Safari 4 Public Beta disabled some - but not all - of my Noise Industries FX Factory Pro plugins. Naturally, in the middle of a project. And of course, this took me quite a long time to figure out. And you guessed it, I did multiple reinstallations of FX Factory 2.0.3 (I'm on OS 10.4.11), FCS2 and the OS itself.
After some serious Googling I happened to discover that back in July 2008 some developers working with very early versions of Safari 4 reported plugin conflicts. And the moral of the story is....

David, you're absolutely right. However, I can report that Safari 4 does have a lot of great features. Your turn to try out the next version.

I feel like I really missed something somewhere...

So I was watching Family Guy last night using Xine (I like menus), and I noticed that the quality was really bad, so I cranked up the deinterlacing, and once my CPU topped 100%, the quality was "acceptable".
But then I was cooking, so the menus annoyed me (it doesn't have a play all button), so I used mplayer with this command: "for i in `seq 2 9`; do mplayer dvd://${i} -dvd-device /dev/hdc -vo xv; done", and the picture quality was perfect (note the lack of any deinterlace filters).
So I wondered why Xine was giving me such crap quality, and I noticed that "Video Device" was set to "Auto" (which I always thought meant it picked xv over all of the others), but I changed it to "xv", and now I get the same quality as mplayer without any deinterlacing.
Now, I swear a few years ago when I was fiddling with that kinda thing, I had to use deinterlacers with "xv" to get the same quality as I get now (using just xv alone). So, does xv now use my graphics cards onboard MPEG-2 decoding, or does xv have it's own deinterlacer, or does something else happen? I really feel like I missed something somewhere...
