Safari and Meebo Do Not Mix

Since buying a new iMac and enjoying the UI I have installed Safari at work. At first everything was great. Every once in a while I noticed that pages will take 30 seconds or longer to load. It's as if it's not even working at times.
Then I noticed there was a correlation between having Meebo open in a tab along when I am browsing. Perhaps the javascript that is going on with meebo is a bottleneck? I don't know it's no problem for FireFox. I'd rather use Safari if I can.
Thanks,
Scott

Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated
Maybe not. Most, if not almost all, anti-virus software interferes with OS X and is not required.
Try installing Glims:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:

Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
    Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
    Any help is very appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. My airport says i'm connected with full bars but when i click on safari it takes a few minutes then says i'm not connected to the server.

That is how i'm connected now.. any ideas what it might be.. i have reset safari, emptied the cache, renewed the DHCP lease.. and all of the obvious... Please anyone help..oh p.s. my iphone picks up the wireless so it is working.. HELP......

  • Safari and Chrome will not display some pages right for new user account

    Not sure this is a Safari issue actually. Behavior is also in Chrome, but not Firefox. If I need to post elsewhere please advise.
    24"imac running 10.5.8. 2gb ram, software update run,
    Setup a new user account. Machine will have 2 users.
    When I login as the new user, in both Safari and Chrome, some pages - google, ebay, amazon, cnn, yahoo, do not display correctly. Mainly empty space, a few graphics all wrong. They do display correctly in Firefox.
    I assumed it was the user. So I added a 3rd user. Same behavior. Tried giving the new user admin rights. Same problem.
    For the admin account, everything's fine on those pages, both in Safari and Chrome.
    It feels like the new user is not getting access to something it needs, but it also feels like more than a font problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Dan

    Thanks for your thoughts. Here's what I've learned. The browsers display correctly for the new user after SafeBoot. I removed all startup items, to no avail. Removed all fonts from the new user account, nothing. Removed all fonts from the admin user's library, nothing. Then I removed all fonts from the HD library, and that fixed it for the new user. Now I just have to figure out which one it was.
    So in summary, a bad font in the HD library was affecting Safari and Chrome (but not Firefox) in new user accounts, but not in the admin user's account. Nice. D

  • Safari and Mail will not open.

    Just opened Pwer Mac G4 with 10.4.11 but Safari and Mail will not open. Have all software updates. Firefox open and browses. What could be wrong?

    Hi-
    Try booting in Safe mode and see if the applications work there.
    Hold Shift while starting to boot to Safe mode.
    If things work, reboot normally and see if the issue is resolved.
    If not, download and install the 10.4.11 Combo Update and install (again is not a problem).
    This should correct any issues due to absent files.

  • Both Safari and Firefox will not load webpage

    This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox (I use Firefox as my default, but since it's happening in Safari too, I figured I could post the problem here). I frequently visit Crate & Barrel's website and cb2.com, and as of recent I have not been able to load the site. I've tried on both my eMac (Safari and Firefox) and on my new iMac. I was able to load the page on a windows computer in my house. I'm not sure if I ever viewed their website on my iMac since it's new as of last month. On the eMac I visited the site often. Why all of the sudden would I not be able to load the website? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You have to love when Customer Service reps don't actually read your message:
    To Crate & Barrel:
    "I recently have not been able to access the Crate&Barrel
    website on either my Apple eMac or my new iMac. However, I can access
    the site on a Windows computer. I am using Firefox, so it can't be an
    issue with the browser. I try to access the site using Safari and that
    does not work either. I used to visit the site often on my eMac and
    never had any issues loading the page. Any ideas as to what the problem
    may be? And why all of the sudden? Any help is appreciated."
    Crate & Barrel's Response:
    "Thank you for your email.

    Are you serious? Did I not mention that I was using both Safari and Firefox?

  • Safari and Firefox do not open search engines

    I have an IMac 8.1, with OS 10.5.8.  Recently, our internet browser programs (safari and firefox) will not open any search engine (google, bing or yahoo).  However, I am able to navigate to web-sites that I manually type in (e.g., www.cnn.com). Does anyone know what the cause, and fix, to this issue?  Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated.

  • My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I clickclick on them?

    My ipad safari and mail are not working.  Why are they blank when I

    For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    You could also try 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 Mail and Safari 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.

  • Safari and Other Browsers Not Working in one account

    The account that I use mostly, a standard account, has suddenly lost all web browser function, and I'm not aware of having changed anything recently.
    When I try using Safari in the Admin Account it works fine (except for some reason I can't login to my .mac account either, I'm posting this from yet another standard account, which works fine as well). I've tried switching the standard account with the issue to an admin, but get the same results.
    The results are that Safari (and any other browser) says it cannot find the server of the website I'm looking for.
    I've also tried unplugging our router and plugging it back in to restart it without success.
    Has anyone encountered this issue before?

    Ok, I have not tried that yet, but before I do, I have a newly discovered wrinkle for you-
    I have found that I can browse in the bad account with Safari and Camino (and I suppose anything else), but only if I am going to "secure" pages, that is pages that begin with "https" rather than "http".
    Incidentally, thanks for the help on the previous post. That may be what I eventually try.
    Does this new detail shed any light on the problem?

  • Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

    Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

    Hi powerbook1701!
    It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
    Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
    Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

  • Safari and Firefox will not download from a particular site

    Greetings,
    I own a Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 (FW800) with 2 MB L3 cache per processor and 1 GB DDR SDRAM with the Mac OS X Version 10.4.11
    My Safari version is 4.1.2 (4533.18.5)
    My Firefox version is 3.6.10
    I want to access this site for the information that it contains:
    http://www.gis.mt.gov/
    Safari has never worked with this site.
    Firefox has worked very well for the past 2 years.
    Recently, very recently, both browsers do NOT work with this site. I called the state's technical support and was informed:
    1) That it is a hit or miss possibility for Safari and Firefox to work properly with this site; and,
    2) That the site is optimized to operate with Internet Explorer for Windows.
    I am unable to find and to download a recent version of Internet Explorer for Mac. Microsoft ended support for this browser (version 5.2.3) on 12/31/2006. I did download this version and it did not work.
    Open this site: http://www.gis.mt.gov/
    Click on “Property Map” located in upper left area of the screen.
    On new drop-down, click on the “OK” button
    A new window should appear with a map of Montana, with outlines of its 56 counties. If this map does NOT appear; then, the problem is being shown.
    If this map of counties does appear; then, GREAT.
    On this new window and in lower right hand corner choose a city and click on the “Go” button. A new window with the city shown should appear. If this city does not appear; then, there is the problem.
    In the past I have used the “Property Map” most of the time because it contains information most useful to me. I want to continue using this “Property Map” into the future. The problem is that my results with both Safari and Firefox is a blank window after completing the above steps.
    Help ! ! What can I do different/change/modify?

    There is your answer. Many US Government sites are the same - they simply WILL NOT follow the necessary web standards to make them Apple and/or Safari compliant.
    The only thing you can try is to go to Safari's Develop Menu and try using Internet Explorer as the User Agent.
