Safari back swipe not working in 10.9.1 update

I just updated my iMac to the newest version of Mavericks, 10.9.1.  Now, when in Safari, if I try to swipe back to the previous page, it starts to move the page like it usually does, but it stops about half an inch into moving back to the previous page and freezes.  Then, no matter what I try, Safari freezes.  It is FROZEN.  I have to quit and restart Safari.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a way to resolve this? 

I experienced it on the launch page, Google.com, apple.com, and the front page of the app store. I'd be scrolling, and accidentally shift sideways and it would lock up.
I solved my problem by clearing my browsing data, shutting down completely (un-tick the "reopen windows on boot" option), and starting up again. When I did, I got a message saying there had been some sort of unexpected shutdown. It asked if I wanted to do a clean boot. I agreed, and Mac OS restarted again. It's been working ever since.
I don't know what happened, but it was frustrating for me that I couldn't figure out why it changed.  Best of luck to those that still suffer from this. Best of luck.

  • Safari and iTunes not working after 10.7.1 update

    Has anyone else out there had the same experience?

    The thing is that sometimes software updates cause more problems than good. Now roll back to the previous version. This is my advice.

  • Back arrow not working in Safari

    After a recent Maverick update, the 'back' arrow in Safari mostly will not work.  I have to go to 'Home' and start all over in my searches.  Very frustrating and a major waste of time.  Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this so I can use the back arrow each time I need to?  Thanks much. 

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    Trying to use facetime on mac air to ipad cannot get contacts up; now stuck with reading list as unticking in safari preferences has not worked how do i get rid of reading list and add contacts to macair please?

    This seems to have been fixed by going to settings>iCloud, deleting Safari, and then adding it back again, effectively resetting iCloud for Safari on the iOS device.

  • The display speakers, the camera display, and all three USB outputs in the back are not working?

    The speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    I was typing a paper last night when the electricity went off, and 5min later went back on, and all the display speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    FYI, it's LED Cinema display.
    Solutions? Suggestions?

    Hi,
    Actually BACK is standard user command so it is not stopping and going to selection screen.
    Give some other use command like 'BCK' and try....

  • My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep poping in and key pages for me appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page. Updated last Safari version and problem prevailed. Tried downloading Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks.

    My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep popping up and key pages, for me, appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page.
    I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
    I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
    Thanks for your help.

    The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update

    Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update
    PLease help

    Hi Hellside,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why AirPrint is not working on my ipad4 after updating to IOS 8.1?

    WWhy AirPrint is still not working on my ipad4 after updating to IOS 8.1

    Hello mmpreston,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot issues with AirPrint on your iPad please follow the directions outlined below.
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    About AirPrint
    Take care,
    Alex H.
