Safari and Gmail continuous loading

I have noticed that after you log into your mail, gmail seems to continue to load for a long period of time. The main page loads, but just continues to load (from the spinning sprocket in the address bar). I have reset safari, etc. Everything seems to work. Just wondered if anyone else has seen this.

HI,
Try Safari Maintenance
And...
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
3. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
4. Restart Safari and restart your Mac.

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Let us know after that what happens.

  • My browsers (safari and chrome) continue to open an old version of a website. Even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  Please help!  what else can I do.

    My browsers (safari and Chrome) continue to open an old version of a website - even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  It's essential I see the newly launched site - rather than the old ones.  It's strange it's happening in both browsers. 
    Please help!

    You, or someone using your computer, hacked the system to redirect certain URL's. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Quit Terminal.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • Safari and Gmail Chat

    I set up my wife’s gmail account on her macbook and then we went through the idea that we could chat while I was at work (offshore). So I invited her to chat and she went through the process to be able to chat and BLANK, every time she tried to use chat nothing would happen so after many failed attempts we kind of gave up.
    Anyway at work I decided to try using two PC computers and Bobs your uncle it worked, so I again asked my wife to try but BLANK so I got my wife to open Windows XP (she also has boot camp) and Bobs your uncle we can chat.
    So what is the problem with Safari and Gmail?

    Unfortunately now you can only get the chat working in Firefox as far as I know. You can however download Adium (http://www.adiumx.com/) and add the Google Talk account and get it running there. Hopefully a future update to Safari 3 will fix this

  • Safari and Gmail very slow

    This may be a sign of Google releasing that BUZZ thing, but I have noticed gmail to very slow with Safari. Getting a lot of "still working" messages. I have BUZZ turned off. But I am assuming that BUZZ might be dragging their network down with high traffic.
    Of course, I have reset safari, etc..

    HI,
    Gmail and Safari issues
    According to Google, "Gmail users with Safari version 4.0.4 might encounter issues loading Gmail and other issues". This link has more info: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs
    Also, try Safari maintenance..
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. **To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Repair disk permissions..
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    Make sure the there's enough free disk space. Not enough will slow the drive down. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

  • Safari and Firefox not loading pages

    Safari and Firefox are now selectively not loading certain pages. Sites like penny-arcade.com and staffingnow.com give me a ...
    Safari can’t connect to the server.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.staffingnow.com/” because it could not connect to the server “www.staffingnow.com”.
    message. Now I have tried to empty my cookies, my cache, I have cleared all data that can be cleared. I've renewed my DHCP lease, reset my router, restarted my computer, etc and none of it seems to help.
    I've tried loading them on my girlfriend's pc and they load up fine.
    Any ideas?

    Having the same problem here, only I dont have firefox. Safari refuses to load my webpage www.epicvideo.com.au yet any other computer can access it. I have another site, with the same server, on a similar but cheaper plan, that loads every time.
    I have no problems with download speeds, but from reading discussions, some individual sites, hand-picked by Safari, refuse to load. My business website is the only site Safari wont load - I get the error "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" - frustrating when running a business!!!!
    Ive done it all to, emptied the cache, reset safari, deleted all my book marks (yay), turned off my modem, restarted my server, spoken to tech staff at my STMP and website server... even Mac Heads at Telstra... no answers.
    Lastly, im finding discussions not helping too much either, cause im just deleting files and changing settings etc - something that will surely cause me more grief!!

  • Safari and Firefox not loading images

    Recently I worked on somebody's MacBook Pro computer (a few months old but software is kept up to date) but I couldn't figure out why Safari and Firefox often would not show images. This person also has a desktop PC computer with the same problem in Internet Explorer. The mac laptop is connected to the internet via wireless and the desktop is wired to a Netgear router. The router is connected to a Motorolla Surfboard 5100 cable modem. The problem started about on the 16th of March. When I tried to open a page in Safari often half of the pictures did not show. In Firefox when I clicked the broken picture icon and selected 'show picture' then it will load. Also, in both browers, clicking refresh will usually, but not always, reload everything correctly. Clicking refresh does the same on the PC in Internet Explorer.
    Safari showed on the status bar there were errors on the page so I opened the Activity window. It said 'failed to connect' or something like that (I don't have the computer in front of me) for the images that did not load. Oddly, not all the images from the same site fail to load. Some will load but others won't. This happened with most sites and it appears to be random.
    I opened a terminal window and typed netstat. With no browser running there were still several connections. I'm not sure if that matters on a Mac in OS X. On a windows computer if there are several connections and no programs are open then there may be a problem with malware.
    It is possible the problem with images not loading has nothing to do with the Mac or Safari since we are having the same problem with the PC. The view images option in all 3 browsers is checked. I tried taking the router out and connecting only the PC to the cable modem. I tried unplugging and replugging all the ethernet cables. The owner of the computers spent a few hours on the phone with her internet provider. In the end they couldn't find what was causing the problem and tech support told her the internet was slow sometimes. We have the same internet provider and I'm having no problems with images on the same sites I viewed on her computer.
    Any ideas?

    Before somebody asks- yes, I tried clearing the cache

  • Safari and GMail -- Crash when selecting a message

    All,
    I just got a new MacBook Pro, he Safari instance on my machine is 2.0.4 which I believe is the newest non-beta version. I am able to log into GMail, however when ever I try and select a specific message, the application crashes out to a "Report to Apple" screen. I've flushed the cache, reset Safari, and zapped the PRAM. Has anyone else ever seen this behavior?
    THanks!
    Josh

    I have the same issue. I have sub-folders, but have been using Thunderbird for many years and this was never an issue, though I had a similar issue a year or so ago because of a McAfee issue that was finally solved. I usually have less than 20 e-mails in my inbox. I delete or file messages daily.

  • Safari (and others) not loading pages, DNS issue?

    Hi, folks.
    I've got a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. A week ago Safari (and Firefox, and Chrome) all stopped completely loading web pages. Sometimes I get a partial page load, sometimes I get a blank page and eternally spinning loading icon. Most of the time I get a message that 31 of 35 (or whatever) items loaded and it won't go beyond that.
    It doesn't matter what site a visit, the behavior is the same. Since this is across multiple browsers I suspect this isn't browser related but network related. It started after I returned from vacation and had connected to a wireless network at a relative's house.
    This behavior only happens when connected via ethernet. When I connect via wireless at home the problem is not present.
    I have verified my DNS servers are correctly set in /etc/resolv.conf and the Network control panel.
    I have cleared my cache and reset Safari.
    I have flushed the DNS cache manually via the command line.
    I've run out of troubleshooting techniques and appeal to everyone else. Any ideas?
    Mick

    Oh, and I also turned off DNS pretetching.

  • Safari and Gmail

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is in the right thread? However whenever I try and attach a word file using gmail it says every file has a virus. It is extremely annoying having to paste everything into the body of the e-mail. Please help!!!

    I can attach Word docs to gmail emails with no trouble. Are you using Safari on a Mac? What versions of Safari and the Mac OS?

  • Safari and Gmail Problem

    I recently purchased an iMac, and have Leopard installed. I created separate accounts for my family members on the computer before realizing that Gmail only worked on the administrator account. On every other account when I attemtped to view Gmail, the browser showed this error message:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://mail.google.com/mail?hl=en&tab=wm” because it could not connect to the server “mail.google.com”.
    I have Safari 3.0.4 and am baffled at why Gmail only works on the administrator account.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    I had partial success with this. In the Parental Controls pane, you can add sites that are explicitly allowed. So I added
    http://mail.google.com
    and later another Google site (don't recall the URL) that was also claimed to be unreachable. That enabled Gmail to be read. However, when we tried sending a message, Gmail claimed to be suffering "technical problems". Maybe some other site needs to be added to the list.

  • Why won't my safari and huffingtonpost slideshows load?

    I try loading periodically the slideshow on Huffingtonpost.com but it does not load with Safari. Please advise.

    Hi...
    The slideshows require the Flash plugin...  try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first.
    Then launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

  • Safari and Gmail videochat

    Since the latest update of Lion, I have been experiencing the impossibility to have a videochat on gmail with Safari. I have a macbook Air, with an embedded camera. I tested the Gmail VideoChat with Chrome, and it works perfectly, whereas on Safari I can't see my side of the videochat. Anyone has a tip?

    Go to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click Details
    Type   google   in the search field top right corner of that window then click Remove All / Done.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try a video chat.
