Safari and Mail screens keep loading back up after I try to exit them out

Recently I've been having a few problems with my Macbook Pro. The other day my screen froze up and kept flashing from my main screen to a black screen. That finally went away but here and there I still have some problems going on. I just recently opened up my mail application and clicked on a message in the inbox, it popped up and I couldn't exit out of it. It just kept reloading the message over and over. Then when I tried to quit the mail application it wouldn't let me click on quit. It just kept showing the quit option but when I tried to scroll down to it, it just keep disappearing. The same thing is happening with Safari, when I load up the apple.com main page it just keeps reloading not letting me go to another webpage. Could this be a problem with my Internet? Or something like a virus?

Test your Hard Drive. Sounds like it might be getting bad blocks.

  • Safari and Mail applications keep quiting

    Hi
    Wondered if anyone can help...
    I have a 6 month old iMac 5,1.
    Recently the safari application and mail application keep quitting without warning.
    This isn't all the time but is becoming more frequent.
    The system seems to be running slower some of the time as well.
    I haven't added any major new software or peripherals but I have been downloading some movies lately... might this have something to do with it.
    I have tech tool delux installed and have scanned (except surface scan as someone told me this doesn't need to be done..?) with all passing.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I'm having the same issue on a 3 month old MBP/SR - with tiger. As soon as I upgraded to the public Safari 3, I started experiencing sudden quits in both Mail & Safari. I have repeatedly run the "repair permissions" and "verify disk", with no joy. When I got the little "tell apple" screen for safari quitting, it seemed as though the Flash plug-in was involved, although I'm having deciphering the string leading to the quit. I disabled all plug-ins and the problem went away for a day or two, but just resurfaced tonight. It's becoming more frequent (and more annoying). Our new imac is not doing this (yet). I can't seem to find any commonality to the program failures. If I save the string leading to the quit, could someone here actually translate it and give us an idea?

  • Safari and mail icons disappear

    The Safari and Mail icons keep disappearing from the dock on my iMac. I've dragged them back from the Applications folder, and they disappear again within seconds. If I open the applications from the Apllications Folder, the icons appear on the right side of the dock. Then, as soon as I close the applications the icons disappear. I've deleted the dock preferences file, and i"ve also disabled dock synching from Mobile Me, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions ?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

  • My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen, both from Safari and Mail. ???

    My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen from Safari and Mail. ???

    Have you tried closing the two apps completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari and Mail apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

    Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens.  The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture.  It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

    Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
    It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
    The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

    Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

    thanks for your reply. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
    yes, I thought my limits were 20 MB, but I let my client talk me into trying to send it anyway (won't be doing that again). I actually spent some time with the apple tech support person (who was awsome!) and he had me delete some files from my mail folder in the Administrator folder and changed some settings in my mail prefernces.
    Everything is working fine now.

    I have just come back from holiday and started my mac up and I have a white spot next to my Finder, Safari and Mail? why?

    Are you talking about the indicator for open applications?
    If you're on Lion, it just reopened apps that where open when you shut it down.

  • Help please-"Application Not Responding" for Safari and Mail

    I read in one discussion that if Safari is slow, you can go to Font Book and select the fonts with a bullet to get rid of duplicate fonts. I did that, and then decided to disable some japanese fonts I don't use.
    Now Safari and Mail don't work. Mail won't open at all, and Safari launches but doesn't load and I get the spinning wheel.
    I used Disk Utility to fix permissions, and that didn't solve the problem, and now my Disk Utility also says "Application Not Responding".
    I also went back to Font Book and enabled all the fonts I disabled. Still nothing.
    ( I can use Netscape-so it's only Mac applications I guess)
    Any help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Wow- i fixed it! I remembered that when I was in Font Book originally, there were some fonts disabled, and I enabled them.
    I couldn't remember EXACTLY which ones, but I disabled some I thought were the ones, and VOILA!
    Mail works, Safari works...what a relief!
    And it only took me HOURS...oh well.
    If this might help anyone, here are the fonts I disabled again-
    BeteNoirA Regular
    BoyzRGross
    Chrome Yellow
    Coventry Garden
    FancyPants
    HardlyWorthit
    PleasinglyPlump
    RaggMoppRegular
    Anyone know if I should throw these fonts away? maybe a stupid question, but I'm not very good at this stuff and hesitate to change anything.

  • Missing images in Safari and Mail

    Ever since upgrading to Lion earlier this year I have noticed a problem with images in Mail and Safari. I'm now on ML (10.8.2) and the problem persists. Hopefully someone can suggest a solution as it's slowly driving me a bit crazy.
    In Mail, when I view an HTML email with images for the first time there is usually one image showing as missing/unloaded (little blue square with a question mark). Just one, and usually one near the top i.e. one of the first images on the page. If I refresh, e.g. view another email then instantly return to the first email, all the images are there. 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is ticked and always has been.
    There is a similar problem in Safari. I load a webpage and there is usually at least one image missing/unloaded. Refreshing the page will fix the missing image. Sometimes it's the CSS file that doesn't load leaving an unformatted page, but it's more common with images. I looked in the 'Error Console' today and the error I get for the missing items is "Failed to load resource: The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument".
    After the problem started I switched to Chrome and never had the problem once, but I prefer Safari and would like to switch back. I presume the almost identical issue with Mail means that they are somehow linked.
    Anyone have the same issue, or any ideas as to what might be causing it?

    I think I've narrowed this down to the AVG Linkscanner. Turned it off and all images are present and correct.

  • Java update crashes Safari and Mail

    When upgrading to the latest version of Java, I got a message at the end of the cycle saying that the "source media" was corrupt (or a similar word). I now find that both Safari and Mail crash immediately upon trying to open a URL or a mail message.
    Do I uninstall Java? If so, is there guidance on the process? Where might I get the latest safe version of Java? Is Java the source of the Mail problem as well?
    (Needless to say, it pays to fear updates.)
    Thanks,
    Tim

    I have a similar problem after the Java 6 update failed to install through software updater.
    I get a crash when trying to load Safari and a few other programs.
    I tried downloading the Java update separately and installing it, but I get the same error "Source file is corrupt". I've tried repairing permissions and a disc repair, but despite these working OK I'm still encountering the same problem.
    I'm now thinking of rolling back in Time Machine, but fear that this will happen again when next updating.
    I can attach an error report if necessary.
