Safari and some websites dont work?

Ok here, I sometimes want to visit a few websites that have people's profiles, such as the well known myspace. So when i enter myspace it seems to go fine untill i enter just a few people's profilesand then it looks like the page is loaded up, but it isn't, the little spin icon comes up and it just keeps going. Its not just with myspace though, there are a few pages i remember visiting that don't seem to want to come up. Please if anyone has experienced and fixed these problems please help me. Also maybe if someone knows how to use Spin Control to this advantage please tell me how to use it. Thank You

Hi, Razvan, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Myspace is well known for horrible web design by its members. Safari is one of the least forgiving of browsers when it comes to bad code. You might want to try using Firefox for going to Myspace or other sites that Safari chokes on. Some sites are programmed using proprietary Windows-only technologies and you will have problems with those sites no matter what browser you use on a Mac.
I have just randomly gone to various pages in Myspace using both Safari and Firefox and nothing has frozen up on me, but some pages took a long time to load in both browsers. I did not happen on some of the more extreme user pages I have seen, but I did get to some which were highly "creative".

  • Some programs and video files dont work.

    Some programs and video files dont work, get a crash report everytime I close, even after an uninstall everything and re install.
    So I try playing some videos and it gives me an error, which I can watch on Chrome. Soundcloud doesnt seem to work, again works on chrome, and before I could watch WebM's but now it says not supported MME. Also everytime I close I get a crash reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. I just happened recently. Also cant play soundcloud. Tried everything, feeling like going to chrome where things work and support is actual support

    Protected mode works on some systems and not others. Since two of your four crash reports were related to Flash, I thought it was worth a try, but it's up to you whether you want to try it.
    I'm not sure whether the issue with WebM video is a setting issue or a program files issue or a system issue.
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Don't delete anything here. Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Any better results with WebM video or shutdown?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.
    '''Clean Reinstall'''
    A regular reinstall may leave some stray files in your programs folder. This method is a bit cleaner.
    (1) If needed, download a fresh installer for Firefox 30 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
    (2) Exit out of Firefox.
    (3) Rename the folder
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    (4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
    Does Firefox behave more normally?
    Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Safari and some apps don't open

    Safari and some other apps do not open after i have 'reset all settings'

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • University network only SAFARI and App Store is working other apps are not

    In the University network..university of Adelaide australia..network(eduroam)
    after i setup the proxy in the Wifi connections..only safari and App store is working..MAIL,MAPS,WEATHER, Youtube or any other internet access apps such as instant messengers are not working...
    there is nothin wrong with the device because @ free wifi hotspots evrything works fine..
    PLEASE TELL A SOLUTION FOR THIS

    If I understand you correctly, the iPod Touch is working fine at wi-fi spots except for your university. If some apps work there, but others do not, I would suspect that some ports are being blocked. I know that at my local mall, I can access the web via browser, but they have blocked the email ports, so I can't use the mail client.
    I find it hard, though, to believe that the university would block the email port(s), but I would suggest that you talk to the IT department there to see if that is the case.

  • So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    so i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

    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.

  • Sound and brightness buttons dont work anymore

    my sound and brightness buttons dont work any more unless I hold down the function button. This happened after I downloaded the new update I think. Is there any key combination that I could have hit that made this happen?

    Go to System Preferences->KeyBoard & Mouse->KeyBoard and make sure "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software featues" is off. It probably got turned on somehow by the update.
