Safari automatically closes? bug!

I was browsing engadget.com today and when I scroll down to a certain article, it automatically kicks me out and returns me to the home page. I'm not sure which article it is but this bug is reproducible.

Yup, it would appear that some javascript heavy pages can cause Safari to go down under. The iPhone seems to recover well from this, but if you get hung up at some point, press and holde the on/off button and the Home button for about 10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. (keep holding both down when the first screen pops up requesting permission to quit.
This is a reset (reboot) but you don't lose data.
No guarantee that your problem will go away for good. But it provides good temporary relief.

  • When I try to open a second page in safari I press the " +" button but it automatically closes out of safari.. Wht should I do?

    When I try to open a second page in safari I press the " +" button but it automatically closes out of safari.. What should I do?- thanks

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open it :
    iOS 7 :double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Safari app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari '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 app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the above doesn't fix it is a soft-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.

  • When demand is high does os x mavericks automatically close open applications?

    Hi,
          I don't generally like to have lots of applications open but I do notice that even when I close some apps (such as iBooks or Preview) by clicking on the red dot, they are still showing as running in the Activity Monitor - Memory.
    Will the OS automatically close them if I open other applications and the 'Memory Pressure' goes too high or will the MacBook just slow down until I mechanically quit them piecemeal fashion in AM?
    NB: I'm am a recent ex-windows user so am not very familiar with macs.

    To see which programs are running and to quit them, you can click on the Apple symbol in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and click on "Force Quit." Any programs that are open will show up in there.  To close them you can double click on them in the list and you will see the task bar at the top change to that program.  For example, if you see that Safari is open in the list, then, when you double click on it, the task bar will change at the top to show that you are now in the Safari program. To close it all you would have to do is to click on "Safari" and out of the drop-down box, choose "Quit", and it will close the program.
    Or, you can click on the Apple symbol, and "Force Quit." Once the list pops up, select the one that you want to close and then click on "Force Quit" down below the list.  This will bring up a message asking you if you are sure that you want to close it, or something to that effect.

  • Why does Safari automatically download files?  I want option to download.

    Why does Safari automatically download files? I want option to download or not. I didn't think it used to automatically download. But now every time I click on a file that has been sent to me it does give me an option to view or not..it just automatically downloads it. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Why does Safari automatically download files?
    That's what Apple decided it should do. It's not my preferred option either to be honest.
    I didn't think it used to automatically download.
    Safari has always done this. Maybe in the past you had a third-party application installed that did this for Safari.
    Any suggestions?
    Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    For more immediate action, have a search around www.macupdate.com or www.versiontracker.com to see if such an 'extension' exists to force Safari to prompt on download. (Bear in mind these kind of things can be sensitive to the version of Safari they're used with, so if Safari starts crashing down the line they would be the primary suspects to remove)

  • How can I automatically close a dialog box using Javascript after I click the OK button to submit it?

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog

    This is not a common problem and probably not related to the JRE directly. You have something installed on your system that is doing this. I hope for you it is some sort of trigger happy protection software which you can control yourself, but I would consider doing a full spyware, malware and virusscan sweep using a respectable piece of scanning software.
    If you want to believe it is related to Java, then completely uninstall your JRE/JDK, do a ccleaner registry cleanup and then reinstall the JRE/JDK. If the problem persists, it really is not the JRE.

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • How do I import a clip when the window automatically closes?

    I was unable to even open After Effects CC when I upgraded to OS Mavericks. Once I realized adobe released a patch for it (the 12.0.1 "trial" update), the program opened. I thought all was fine, until I attempted to import a new video clip. It would not let me even move the clip, let alone edit it, before giving me a "grouping" error, and then abruptly crashing. Today Adobe released the 12.1 update, which seems to be running ok, except the window for importing footage automatically closes once opened. I can no longer just drag a new clip in to my composition either. How can I get by this?

  • Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

    Greetings all,
    I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
    I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
    I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
    I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
    The problem occurs when:
    I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
    I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
    I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
    As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
    That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck

  • Safari automatically downloads "Unknown" file

    In the last few days I have found that Safari automatically downloads files called "Unknown". It sometimes happens when I am using another application so it doesn't seem related to something that I have just done. Also I find that Safari is DEAD slow with some pages or part of the content of some pages.
    Here's what I have tried so far. I have deleted all the plist files in both the user account and the library folder in the system folder. I have zapped the PRAM, rebuilt permissions and restarted in safe mode. I have Resert Safari and Emptied the Cache under the Safari menu. I have also updated my antivirus and run it. Nothing has helped.
    The sites that load slowly do not behave the same way in Firefox, but I would like to use Safari for most of these most of the time. Any suggestions of a cure would be most welcome.

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries and when I selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open apps window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

    If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

  • In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Can I bypass this?

    In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Previous versions when you close your window and reopen Firefox your downloads are unaffected until your downloads are finished or you cancel it yourself. Is there a setting I can set that my downloads are unaffected when I close my window.

    You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the about:config page.<br />
    That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
