Safari and Facebook issues since Yosemite upgrade

OSX 10.10
Safari 8.0
Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been having numerous issues on Safari with Facebook, but not on any other website. The issues are:
- Sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) only loads a few posts in my timeline (as few as 4) and then stops
- Sometimes (maybe 50% of the time) a few pictures are not displayed, but only a little question mark
- Sometimes (about 10% of the time) I cannot click any of the links
- Sometimes (about 20%) I get a Failed to Open Page screen with the message Safari cannot establish a secure connection.
I have tried the following:
- Turned off any extensions
- Cleared the History and Cache (as well as moving the cache.db file for Safari into Trash and then restarting Safari)
Neither of these seemed to have any effect. Any ideas what to do next?
If I delete Safari and re-install, is there some way to keep all my bookmarks?

Hi ..
If you delete Safari on a Mac running Yosemite v10.10, there are no standalone downloads to reinstall the app. You would have to restore OS X using OS X Recovery. Better to troubleshoot the currently installed Safari app.
Try OpenDNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
f that doesn't help, try Google's DNS > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Safari and Facebook Issue

I just bought my first Mac ever and am having issues that I don't have using Firefox on my Vaio. Facebook loads and loads and loads forever when I click on any link. Only half of the images load on a page. It's really annoying. What's going on?

Ok..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Facebook cookies.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go back to Safari / Preferences. You can access Safari Preferences with a keyboard shortcut: Command , (comma)
Select the Extensions tab. If you installed any Extensions, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
And in Safari / Preferences select the Appearance tab. Make sure: *Display images when the page opens* is selected.
And check your Home folder (accessible from a Finder window in the Sidebar on the left). Open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-ins folder. If you installed any Facebook plugins, move them to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If nothing above has helped, Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the *com.apple.Safari folder*. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads a Facebook page correctly, move that .plist file to the Trash. If there's no difference, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
If you setup any Parental Controls (System Preferences / Parental Controls), that could be causing FB to not load.

Dictation, start up and other issues since Yosemite

How can they put out these updates had have them so messed up? My computer worked fine with Maverick but now...
1. My computer has a "loading bar" every time I log in and it takes about 60 seconds for that thing to finish. I'm not sure if I had this in the past but that it loaded so fast I never saw it or if this a new feature. Why is my computer loading so slowly.
2. An this is the disaster. I am a student and speaker and I loved the dictation feature in office. (I don't think this is an office issue but I might be wrong.) The dictation worked great. I could bang out a speech or paper in no time with some proofing. However since the update, every time I stop speaking, even when I do not insert a period, it capitalized the next word. The proofing I need to do not is ridiculous and I can't find any way to change the dictation settings.
3. I thought my router was on the fritz, but now it looks like it's the update. My browser also is taking forever to load.
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGG!
NO. 2 is my major concern. Can anybody tell me how to fix my dictation issues? Can I turn "off" this new capitalization setting?

Could be - because of the disk image, you actually have two mountable disks with OS X systems on them. Having two Mac OSs is not a good idea, and since one of them is not a valid Mac OS for the Intel-based MBP, this is a problem. Your occasional flash of the wrong disk suggests that this is your problem.
You might try opening the disk image from the G4 and deleting the System folder from it - you don't need it, and that is a likely source of the problems...
Ps. 7+ minutes - wow!

Any help with storage issues since yosemite upgrade?

For some reason its changed to 135GB of Apps! ....Yet Applications folder only shows total of 12GB ... And only 2 songs yet 11GB Music ?
It all seems wrong and Im really low on space - is there any some way that these files could be hidden from obvious view somewhere?
Cheers

Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

Google and ICal issues since Safari upgrade

After we recently upgraded Safari, when I add an event to my google calendar or to my ical, which are synced, it shows up twice on the ical calendar. This only happens for my events--no one else's in our family. I am the main person on the account. Also, we are not able to see Google Calendar on safari since we upgraded.

I am trying to publish my google calendar of events onto my web page. In Firefox the calendar displays and all events show up fine. However, in Safari, my google calendar shows up but none of the events are displayed. I have checked & double checked that the sharing settings are correct in google calendars!! I've even made sure to empty all cashes Can anyone help me understand why it works in Firefox but not with Safari??

Video and webpage issues since upgrade to Mountain Lion.

I recently installed OSX 10.8(as an upgrade) on Macbook Pro(circa2008) with 2.5 Intel Core Duo processor and 4 gigs of RAM. It had 10.6 on it. Since the upgrade ,video has shown blue squigly lines while playing and web pages show squigly yellow ones. The screengrab is playing a file in quicktime over a Chrome (Safari has same issue) showing yellow lines. The blue lines are there when watching Youtube video as well as while working in iMovie. It does not affect the qualityof video when uploaded. No issues with Jpegs or text files. Only videos and webpages. I'm baffled.

How can i fix Connection issues with back to my mac since yosemite upgrade.

Ok I have been having nothing but problems with back to my mac since the upgrade. both machines are using yosemite and I have even reinstalled yosemite on both still having connection issues. anyone else know how I can fix this? I get one of 2 error messages one that says there is a problem connecting and i should make sure screen sharing is active and then another that says the server does not exist. So far to get it working it involves restarting back to my mac or both macs. This is not a good fix since once I disconnect and try to reconnect a few hours later it does it all over again. I am currently in France and needless to say my parents are starting to get really annoyed with constantly having to do things on there end so I can remote into my iMac.Before the yosemite upgrade I maybe had to do this once or twice.

What I have done is open Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, and do that more than once if it returns a lot of errors in the permissions. Then Restart the Mac.
Also, go to System Preferences > Spotlight and try turning off a couple settings such as search suggestions...these things are taking a lot of resources now.

Safari 5.0 and Facebook Issue

Ever since I downloaded 5.0 on my macbook (running leopard 10.5.8) Facebook doesn't work correctly. Only website I've had issues with so far. I can open a few different pages through Facebook then all of a sudden I get a blank page and can't refresh or go back to another Facebook page. I have to wait a few minutes, or quite Safari and reopen. However I can go to another website with no issue without having to relaunch Safari..... Only noticed this issue on Facebook, and only with my laptop running leopard, not my iMac which runs snow leopard.
Any ideas?

I also have the same problem. I'm on the latest version of Snow Leopard and on Safari 5.0 with my Macbook Pro. I have searched around the net and can't find the resolution. I can tried deleting my cookies, quitting safari or restarting my machine and Facebook works fine for a short while but then it reverts back to the blank page and I can't do anything on the page.

Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

Hello,
I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
Thanks ever so much for your advice!
Lillibet

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select

There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right.

If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

[solved] Wifi and Video /Audio issues with Yosemite upgrade

Apple support recommend you call them to solve your issue as they want to report all instances to engineering. They solved my issue (for now)
Symptoms on Macbook Pro Retina 16GB 512GB SSD - late 2013 :
1. any online audio or video stutters when playing - Youtube, Vimeo etc
2. wifi cuts out - only reconnects if I turned off/on wifi
3. Bluetooth keyboard / magic mouse disconnects
Allegedly, during the update, something can happen with users accounts freezing. Therefore, a simple fix solves the issues:
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Start Mac holding down SHIFT key (until desktop appears) - log in with your problem user account (Safe mode for those not familiar)
3. Open Safari and navigate to Youtube - I played a video - the sound was not available but does not matter.
4. Shut down Mac
5. Start Mac in normal mode
All should be fine now. If not call Apple support - that's what they suggest

Symptoms on Macbook Pro Retina 16GB 512GB SSD - late 2013 :
1. any online audio or video stutters when playing - Youtube, Vimeo etc
2. wifi cuts out - only reconnects if I turned off/on wifi
3. Bluetooth keyboard / magic mouse disconnects
Allegedly, during the update, something can happen with users accounts freezing. Therefore, a simple fix solves the issues:
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Start Mac holding down SHIFT key (until desktop appears) - log in with your problem user account (Safe mode for those not familiar)
3. Open Safari and navigate to Youtube - I played a video - the sound was not available but does not matter.
4. Shut down Mac
5. Start Mac in normal mode
All should be fine now. If not call Apple support - that's what they suggest

IPad AirPlay issues since IOS7 upgrade

Hi all
Since the last ios7 upgrade i've had nothing but trouble with my AirPlay set up.
I have the following set up:
HP ProLiant N40L server running iTune server (latest build)
BT HomeHub 3 / TP Link TL-PA211 WiFi extender
iPad 3rd geneeration
iHome iW1 AirPlay speaker
Before the upgrade i would get some intermittent issues, but eventually after iPad restarts i could get AirPlay working. Since the upgrade 90% of the time my iPad will not see any AirPlay devices whatseover. After a reboot of the iPad (or more) it eventually sees the Airplay speaker. iTunes however on my server always sees the AirPlay device and has no problems whatsoever connecitng to it (please bear in mind that this is still on the same WiFi network).
On the occassional 10% that my iPad does see an AirPlay device, I connect, and then almost immediately the AirPlay device dissappears from the iPad.
I've spent 2 weeks now trying to sort the issue out. As my iTunes can see the AirPlay speaker without issues and play to it, I'm assuming it's part of the ios update.
Anyone got any suggestions, as i'm ready to throw in the towel?
Thanks
Simon

Hi
First, before you lose interest - I have a solution that works so well to get BT Home Hub 3 working with 'Airplay' and Apple TV and my iPad 4, that I am so far unable to 'break' it. Please do try to break it yourself, and could you report back here or mark it with stars or whatever so I know what happened in someone else's setup?
I appreciate what you are going through, all I wanted to do was get 'Real Racing 3' running for me and the kidz on the TV that is attached to Apple TV box. Sometimes the Airplay icon appeared, sometimes not, it was chance - really frustrating.
The nub of it is this - you 'reserve' certain aspects of how the HH3 services the wifi network, so it directs data/communications via these 'reserved' ports specifically assigning them to the purpose you need - in this case, 'stuff' (technical eh?) going to the Apple TV so that Airplay works.
Apple forums somewhere list these publicised ports, and you go into HH3 management (tap in the IP address of the hub in 'safari' to get there, then put in your password for admin - it is 'admin' if you didn't change it already). In short, you use one of the games/applications that already are in the list for 'Port Forwarding', and I modified the name of a new one I made to make it like 'Airplay attempt using BT alarm' or something, because I 'copied' the BT safe alarm app details to start my custom one off. Lost yet?! Go into the HH3 manager, go to the A-Z I think it might be in 'advanced' and get 'Port Forwarding' up.
Ok, here's the things to set - if you peruse the apps/games they already list in HH3 for this sort of thing, you will see entries under 'TCP' or 'UDP' headings, and it's these sort of things we want to reserve. I only set the single specific addresses (it's just a number to you and me) that were listed on the Apple site as being to do with Airplay:
There are only 2 bits to set - you hit the button on screen in HH3 manager, to 'add entry', then select in the box marked 'protocol' that you want TCP or UDP according to the info I dug up from Apple site below - don't worry it is not complex to do you are just editing a couple of figures on a thing you don't use. Incidentally, I left the first two entries as they were (1024 was in there already) because I am just timid! So set it as below.
TCP 1024 -
UDP 1024 -
TCP 80 80
Any 123 123
TCP 443 443
Any 554 554
TCP 3689 3689
UDP 5353 5353
I took a pic of mine, for records, and this is what is in that pic. You have to enter the self-same number (eg 123 as above) no less than 4 times, this gives the results above.
On the bottom right, there is a button that says 'apply', so you hit that and it saves this new-fangled custom designed list of reserved ports/addresses for your 'Airplay BT alarm' or whatever you called it. THEN YOU MUST ASSIGN THIS CREATION OF YOURS TO A DEVICE - THE APPLE TV.
That's the basics of what I did - I have since restarted the BT HOMEHUB 3 several times, the Ipad 4 several times, the Apple TV has updated its software and has been restarted twice. STILL AIRPLAY WORKS.
So, I am reassuringly presented with the Airplay icon whenever I 'upswipe' on my ipad from the bottom of the screen - iOS 7.1 is on my ipad obviously, but that did not change the hit-and-miss of the Airplay icon until I made these mods to the HH3.
Over to you - try and break my solution please, and let me know if it works for you as well, or not. All I know is, Real Racing 3 can reliably be brought to bear on the Apple TV thing, and the Airplay icon is now never missing.
One more point - I think I also set the Apple TV IP address to be static - my ipad has had this situation for some time, along with the 'lease' set to a couple of weeks or something, so it does not try to select a different channel for wifi frequently? PLUS, I set something in the ipad I think, long ago (did not affect this issue as far as I can see), so that when the ipad 'wakes up' it does not decide to search for a better channel or IP address or something - that caused loads of glitches it seemed, then I found out my BT HH3 was on the end of dodgy phone cable not hi-quality shielded...but hey, that's a different bucket of bolts.
Good luck and let me know an outcome please, best to all.
