Safari/Any browser freezes whenever I open attachment with Desktop location?
So basically if I try to upload or attach a file via Safari, firefox, Mail etc up pops the finder box and if the finder box is defaulted to "Desktop" the whole thing jams and the spinning wheel rolls on and on and on and only alternative is to force quit the program
However if the finder box defaults to something other than Desktop like "downloads" folder for example then can attach/upload a file ... but if you switch folders to Desktop freezes up again

If Safari crashes before you can empty the cache from the Safari menu bar, try this.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left.
Now open the Library folder, the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari. If Safari crashes again, reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard.
If it continues to crash, the startup disk may need repairing.
From the admin account launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)
With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
KatherineI am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps. -
Any Browser freezes when trying to add image finder pop-up
Since updating to Mavericks, whenever I try to add images etc in ANY Browser, the finder popup freezes when I select Desktop for the image.
I have found a work around, I created a folder, I called Images on the desktop, and when I copy any images etc into that folder, I can select the folder, and the contents to add to browser etc.
This also works if I copy image to any other sidebar folder, ie documents.
Sometimes works off desktop if I reboot imac, for a while.
This is very annoying, and has only happened since 10.9 update
I have to Force Quit on the browser, to continue using that Browser
Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, all the same. (Latest versions)I wasn't referring to this forum, but I've just tried to add image to this post , and the same problem shows.
Choosing Desktop from finder pop-up sidebar, browser freezes then I have to force quit.
Select any other sidebar item, including my folder "Image" from Desktop, works fine !!
Funnily enough, because this forum adds image into the message, I can drag & Drop image here !!!
But only in compose window, when I post message, the image disappears !
However, this dooesn't bother me.
My problem is with forums where images are added by an extra input below message body -
MS Web Outlook - can't open attachment with Safari
I am using Web Outlook at work to access mail - via Safari 3.1 on my MacBook Air -
Anytime I try and open an attachment of any type (.xls, .pdf, etc) it says I must right click and save attachment to my hard disk. When I try and do that, I get nothing.
Is there a security change I must do? I have unchecked the block pop ups in Safari - any suggestions?--Bee: No difference with CNN. Also followed your instructions, i.e., "Safari Preferences > Security >Show Cookies. Type in the name of your credit union. Then select "Delete all" that show up. RESTART Safari. (This is important)."
I typed in the "Https" address of CU and followed your cues -- there was no pop up "delete all" -- so I just killed all refs to CU in the cookie jar. But still couldn't open via Safari. However, I noticed right in front of the HTTPS address using Chrome there is a little green lock followed by green HTTPS letters, which suggested to me that maybe only Chrome can open this (????) Unfortunately, there is an orange lock followed by the word "secure" when I tried to open CU via Opera which cannot open it either. Mystified. No lock on Firefox or Safari. BTW, my computer is showing signs of schizophrenic behavior. In my mail there is a NOTE feature where I mark down certain things, but the last two times I used it today it mailed the note to my in box. Perhaps this behavior is a sign of a darker more serious malady. Steve -
My Safari quits unexpectedly while trying to open attached files or download?
I had that problems once. My friend reinstalled My IMac for me. It worked. But now it is happening again. Safari quits unexpectedly while I am trying to open attached files or download anything. I hate that. I want that to never happen again. And I don't actually know how to reinstall the system. I am afraid of doing smthing wrong. So I have to call apple or my friend. What is the easiest way and solution for that? What is the reason for this problem?
Thank you.Try the following:
1. Shutdown the computer and then start it up again, see if Safari repeats the problem.
2. Consider the source file, if it is just one or the same ones all the time but other open, the files are the problem and not Safari.
3. Run a permissions repair on the mac. Do this via Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive (Second Icon with the Hard Drive Name, not the one showing the drive size above it) in the left pane and in the bottom middle click on permissions repair, don'yt worry you won't break the computer. -
I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.
You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

Firefox will not open from my desktop (freezes), but will open from wifes desktop, same computer.
Within the last 3 days, I have opened my Firefox browser only to have it freeze. There are two tabs opened. One eventually showas a yellow triangle with and exclamation mark and states "Restore Session". The second tab has "Getting Started with Firefox". I have opened my wifes desktop, clicked on Firefox and it opens properly and I am able to use it. I go back to my desktop, open Firefox... FREEZES!! I have spoken with a local computer repair busuiness and have tried several suggestions from them including uninstalling and reinstalling. Even after the same thing happens from only my desktop, open Firefox...FREEZES!!. I hope you can provide a solution as there are several work related websites that only function correctly with Firefox.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

* [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
* [2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* [3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

My browser freezes whenever I try to attach a file
It doesn't matter which browser I use (tried Chrome, Safari, and Firefox), and it doesn't matter what I'm trying to attach the file to. I click "attach file" and it takes me to the initial explorer window, then gets stuck on the spinning beach ball and I have to force quit. It's really annoying.
Are you just using a web browser for uploading?
Which browser?
Have you tried another?
Have you tried uploading from a different internet connection?

I just updated to the newest version of firefox for my mac laptop. It keeps crashing when I open the browser and does so even in safe mode. Laptop is about two years old. Might it be an issue with the OS? I have not updated to Leopard yet.
It seems that the problem is related to fonts.
(1) How were you updating your operating system ?
If you use *_Software Update_*, hurry up, download and apply the combo updater available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
but CAUTION, this update introduce a serious problem with some fonts. At this time the only workaround available is to reinstall 10.6 tyhen apply the combo updater 10.6.6 available from :
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1349
(2) if you didn't used *_Software Update_*, run a maintenance tool like the free MAINTENANCE available from :
http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
Apply it to clear caches files, mainly those dedicated to fonts.
It would be also a good idea to check the health of your fonts with FontBook.

Application crashes when trying to open jpg with Desktop API
Hi, i would like to open jpg, or gif files using Desktop API, and the application crashes.The Desktop API is supported by my OS, because txt files, or file directories can be opened, mails can be sent, browsing is also supported.
Only jpg and gif, and i think other picture formats cannot be opened.
Obviously ACDSee and other picture viewing programs are installed in my computer.
The corresponding application code can be found at the bottom of the page of http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=661371&seqNum=2&rl=1
my code:
if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported()){
Desktop desktop=Desktop.getDesktop();
try
desktop.open (fileToOpen);
catch (IOException ioe)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
"I/O problem");
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
"File doesn�t exist");
fileToOpen is obviously a File.
Thx for the help in advance.Hello Ercoupe. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If this is being caused by an overly large Mailbox, click on the link below provided by Allan Sampson, for a possible solution.

What should I do if whenever I open Itunes it freezes my whole computer and the mouse doesn't move?

you might need help with OS X more than iTunes though. -
For some reason whenever I use any browser on my computer (HP DV7 with Windows 7 operating system) the browser will freeze up and not respond. It will load ONLY when I'm constantly moving the mouse, the second I take my finger off the trackpad, the browser will immediately stop responding, and when I begin to move the mouse, normal functions will begin, and webpages will load. It also happens when viewing videos online, such as on Youtube, or watching movies on Netflix, the video will stop the moment I take my finger off the trackpad, and when I move the mouse again, the video will play. It also happens on any other browser I use, (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc) I'm not sure if it's a virus or what, but it only happens when I'm on an internet browser. I can do anything else on my computer, but when I open up a browser, the problem persists.
hello, there has been a fix released that should address this problem, so please update your firefox like this: go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which will trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/25.0.1/releasenotes/
''edit: there seems to be a scheduled shutdown of the update server and other services for maintenance work currently - you can download the new version manually from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/'' -
Safari Insists on opening PDFs with Acrobat
If I go to a PDF link in Safari, it insists on trying to open the with Adobe Acrobat, which isn't currently licensed for my computer. When this doesn't work it crashes Safari. How do I get it to default to preview? PDFs on my computer are defaulted to open with Preview already.
MartinCarolyn Samit wrote:
Unless you need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, move the app to the Trash.
Well, I do sometimes need Reader. And it works fine if I simply choose, outside Safari, to open a file in it rather than in Preview. Part of the problem may be that I've got two startup disks on my Mac and the other one (where I don't have this problem) has Adobe CS4 with Acrobat Pro installed and licensed. I can't license it on this startup because of Adobe's licensing limit.
Also, go to Safari/Preferences - General. Make sure Safari is set as your default browser.
Tried that, Carolyn. Seems to make no difference.
The exact message, btw, is "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement.
