Safari and Google Maps are useless

Safari and Google Maps invariably quit and return to the home screen. They are essentially useless. I tried to empty the cache and history...no luck. I then tried a reset and when it restarted got a message to please connect to iTunes. iTunes told me my phone needed to be restored. A progress bar indicated it was extracting some software and then it was preparing the iPhone for restoration. After some time I got an unknown error message (1603) that said it was unable to restore. I am looking at it as it sits uselessly in the dock with nothing but the apple icon showing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have a solution? Should I just return it to the Apple Store.

James, I'm sorry to say buddy, but you might just have a defective product. If restoring doesn't work there really isn't much more you could do. You can ether wait for the next update, and hope that would fix it, or just take it back to the store and exchange it. You have 30 days from the day of purchase to return the item. Thats my recommendation. GL

I can't access to Youtube and Google Maps with Safari

Hello,
I've a MacBook Pro and I can't go to Youtube and Google Maps with Safari. I've also tried with Firefox but the problem is still not solved.
Actually, Safari (or Firefox) keeps charging the page but is unable to get it. I always see a blank page. It only happens with these two websites. Other sites are working perfectly.
I've tried so many things like installing the flash, erasing cookies or cache, installing updates but nothing helped. This is really annoying. Just to give you an example, if I try to localize my MacBook I just can't see where it is as the map is not appearing.
Can you help me?
Thank you!

Hi CMCSK!
Thanks for your answer.
I bought my Mac in August 2011. In the first weeks, I couldn't see YouTube videos which was normal as the flash wasn't installed. I therefore installed the latest version of Abode's flash and it worked well. But maybe 1 month or more later, I don't know what happened: it began difficult or even impossible to load YouTube website. I first thought this was a problem with Safari. I downloaded Firefox but the problem remained the same: impossible to go to YouTube. I followed the instructions to uninstall the flash and to install it again. Nothing helped. I waited for an update for Safari but it didn't solve my problem.
As I've already said, the browser (Safari or Firefox) keeps loading the page and after 1 or 2 minutes I see "Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding".
To come back to this:
if I try to localize my MacBook I just can't see where it is as the map is not appearing.
Well I wanted to give you an example of the problem itself (with Google Maps here). If I go to iCloud and try to localize my Mac, I can see the green circle but the map is not loaded. I don't know why it isn't working. Whenever there is a Google Map on a website (e.g. a restaurant giving its localization with a small Google Map) I can't see it. I only see a light grey background with question marks everywhere. I also see this grey background when I go to the website of Google.
I hope you see more what the problem is.
Thank you

my internet isn't working anymore, its not the wifi but the actual computer safari and google chrome. Its not loading particular websites, and if it is loading them, they are different to how they use to be.

Safari and google plus site issues.

Safari and google plus crashes when I go to the google plus website, but it works with my other browser apps. Help? I am using the mac retina display.

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.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. 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 crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, 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—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I can't sign into my Youtube account on Firefox, but it works fine on Safari and Google Chrome. Deleting my web history, cookies, and etc didn't help. PLZ HELP!

I click on sign in on Youtube.com and it takes me to the sign in page. I enter my information (correctly, duh) and then I am returned to the Youtube home page. I try to click Sign in again and the page is just refreshed. My account still exists bc I can reach it on Safari and Google Chrome, but I don't want to have to switch browsers. By the way the cookies ARE enabled, so Idk what the problem is.

hello, please also make sure that in particular youtube.com & accounts.google.com are allowed to set cookies (at least for the session)...

I Installed ios8 then iOS 8.02 on iPad 3. Now when I use Safari and Google search I can't exit out of the last site visited. It seems that all the sites are saved. Help. When I go to use Safari the next time the last site visited is always there. I want to be able exit those sites every time exit from Safari

Safari works a little differently in that respect on iOS 8 on the iPad than it did before. To exit the last site used, tap the icon that looks like 2 overlapping pages at the top right of the screen and then tap the x at the top left of the smaller display that appears.

HELP: CLOSING MAIL AND GOOGLE MAPS

Dear guys,
My 3gs suffer from battery drain caused by background 3g traffic data activity.
Even if I have no background running app, my phone keeps sending receiving huge mb of data.
I've downloaded from appstore an app, system lite, which has revealed that, between runnin apps, there are mail and google maps. Maybe this colud cause traffic data.
How can I close them? Obviously, double pressing home button doesn't show these apps running....
Thanks in advance.

If double pressing the home button does not show the programs in the bar, they are not running. There is no possible way for them to be running in the background unless they are showing the quick switching bar.
What is showing in this bar when you double tap the home button?
Have you tried the basics from the manual or reset, restart, and restore?

6300 and google maps

Anyone know how to get "my location" to operate on google maps.Realise 6300 is not GPS but sure I read somewhere that your WAP/ network can triangulate your location even though it may be a street or so away from the actual position.
Thanks

if you have the google maps launched yes i think it is capable of triangulation and using internet connection in combination to get the job done. are you using the internet connection and the google maps are not doing anyting or what happens? for google maps you need the internet connection you know that right?

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5

Driving times vary from Maps and Google maps?

When I plot a trip I find driving times vary significantly from Maps and Google maps. I wonder what the paramieters are for attaching driving times to routes? I would hope that it were speed limits.

Basically it is average driving time. Speed limits is a factor but so is congestion, terrain, weather, construction, etc. Since Apple and Google get their data from different sources, the results are always going to be different.

What to do if the screen is stuck on the draft screen? I was writing a mail, saved it as draft, then later, was able to send it. However, the screen did not revert to the inbox page. The draft page seems to be hung or stucked. Safari and all others are working ok though.

I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.

Safari and Google Chrome running slow on my MacBook

Hi there!
Over the last couple of weeks Safari (and Google Chrome) have started running very, very slow on my MacBook(I own a MacBook white, OS X version 10.6.8). I didn't install anything new over the last few months, so I don't think that is the problem. My Wi-Fi has been checked and that's not the problem either. Also, I emptied my cache and reset Safari, yet nothing seems to help.. Sometimes I even have to Force Quit Safari because it just stops working all of a sudden and it blocks my whole computer for over a minute. Anyone out there that can help me?

Except for Facebook?
Try the following:
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos. I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. Help

my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to one web site only, that formerly was not a problem. Happens with Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas?

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

Well, it seems weird & it has no email listed, you might try contacting them to see...
