Safari browser keeps freezing and not loading

My Safari will only open some websites and others it will not browse HELP????

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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 on some models, 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 and Wi-Fi on certain models.  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 steps 1 and 2.

  • IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

    IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
    This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Keeps freezing and not responding

    For the past few weeks my web browser keeps freezing up on me and i get the message on top of the browser saying not responding. I thought my computer was all cluttered with files or cookies. So I reinstalled my windows 7. In the process deleting everything on my computer. I thought this was going to fix the problem but no luck. It is still doing the same thing.

    It started happening to me when I updated Flashplayer. Not only did Firefox hang but sometimes it would also crash. I went into 'about:crashes' and checked the last 5 crash reports and every report said "plugin Shockwave Flash Version:11.9.900.117 Filename:NPSWF32_11_9_900_117.dll"
    I uninstalled Firefox then reinstalled it and now it's working fine. Maybe it was an add-on that was upsetting Flashplayer. I now only install add-ons one at a time before testing them.

  • You View Box - keeps freezing and stops loading

    I have had You View for nearly a year now with no problems.
    Unfortunately over the last few weeks my You View box keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive.
    The Power Up button doesn't respond by remote or by touch and the only way I can get a response from it is to turn everything off at the wall and on again.
    The box is regularly updated and on the latest version. I have also performed a Software reset as requested by BT but still the same problems.
    Now I can't even get You View to load, just keeps saying "Nearly ready" on the screen.
    I have booked an engineer to come round and assess the situation. Apparently if it is not BT's fault I will be charged over £100?
    Has anyone else had these problems? Or know of any solutions? Is this a software glitch of BT's?

    Do you mean the "Reset Data" option from within the BT Player?
    You could try a "factory reset, keep recordings" by following this guide:

    Just make sure to make a note of your future scheduled recordings as you will need to re-add them afterwards.

  • Safari browser on Mac will not load

    MMy Safari will not load telling me to contact Microsoft ?

    It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • HT1657 Movie keeps freezing and not playing. Every two or three minutes? First time with this probel, why is it happening?

    Have rented a movie. Trying to watch through iTunes and it keeps freezing! have watched many this way without this issue at all. Whay is it happening now?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Illustrator CC 64-bit release 2014.1.0 keeps freezing and "not responding" on windows 8.1

    Every time I return focus to the app it freezes and the app says "not responding".  It starts to work in about 10 seconds. Also, while I'm in the app it will do the same thing, especially it seems when I click in a panel. It seems to help if I go off-line so I'm thinking it is going online to check something perhaps?
    Please help, Illustrator is practically unusable at this point.
    Thanks,
    Nigel

    Nigel,

  • My MacBook Pro keeps freezing and not responding correctly.

    Okay, so yesterday I finished FaceTiming a friend and I closed my MacBook Pro like I normally do so it can sleep on my account. But when I open it, it keeps crashing (like it shows the screen and then for like 15 seconds it shows a gray screen and then back to the desktop background) and its not responding as fast as it normally does. It doesn't even show the dock where Safari and FaceTime and iTunes is. But when I go to the Guest User account, it all works fine. I don't know if I've been hacked or not but I would really appreciate it if someone has found the solution to this problem. Thank you so very much for trying to solve it in advance and Happy Holidays.

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • PowerBook G4 keeps freezing and not restarting sometimes for hours

    I just bought a used G4 and wiped the hard drive clean and reinstalled OS X10.4. It suddenly started freezing on me(seems to have been when music started either in iTunes or on a webpage) and so I force quit and when I went to restart it didn't do anything. The caplocks button responded so I knew that there was power. But no fan, no hard drive sound, nothing. When I went to a "genius" to figure out what was up, I pressed the on button and it started. Then when I got home it shut down twice and one other time a bunch of vertical lines covered the screen and it beeped.
    I have done everything from removing the battery(which is full and charges fine)to reinstalling the OS, to verifying the disk and repairing the disk. It hasn't done it since yesterday but it makes me nervous. The previous owner bought a new one because the same thing happened to him and when he brought it to Mac911 they said there was nothing wrong with it.
    Does anyone know of anything I can do to fix this? Or if I'm just setting myself up for disaster by keeping this system?(I can still return it but I really need it.)
    Thank you in advance for any help that you may offer.

    Update: Since I had noticed that the iBook booted up more or less normally when cold, I got to the genius bar 40 minutes early and let my computer get good and warm so it would slow down and freeze, which it did. I didn't get a definitive answer from the genius because my computer got so bogged down that he couldn't do much of anything with it. He said to do an erase and install, and if it was still acting the same, it was likely to be a hardware problem and I would need to send it off to Apple for diagnosis and repair.
    When I got home, I discovered that I had a disc with Tech Tool Pro which came in my original Applecare package. I decided to run it, and everything passed except that the Surface Scan reported "Failed: Error=-4". I'm not sure just what that means.
    Anyway, it might be that your computer was cold when the geniuses looked at it and that's why they didn't find anything wrong.
    I actually stuck my computer in the fridge for 20 minutes and then set it on an aluminum plate to help cool it. So far it's been working for about an hour and a half instead of the usual 20 minutes or so, but it's still slow and I get the spinning beach ball more and more. I plan to try an erase and install tomorrow, but I actually don't expect that to fix it since it seems to be temperature related.
    If I find out anything more, I'll post back.

  • Gmail in browser keeps reloading and never loads

    If no problem with Safari with any other website, contact Gmail customer or technical support.

  • Firefox is constantly freezing and not loading, possible flash problem?

    My firefox constantly gives me a page error in which I am unable to browse any website afterwards unless I Force Quit out of it and relaunch it. I didn't have this problem before 4.0.1. My internet is perfectly fine, I often switch to Safari and browse with no problem temporarily when this happens. Is there a fix to this? This is extremely annoying and I'm about to make my move over to Google Chrome. Thanks.
    All add-ons, flash players, drives and everything you can think of is up to date.

    Still can't find anything. Extremely frustrated especially because I have multiple tabs open with things I need to study for finals. I will def be making the switch over to Google Chrome after this week when I have the time. I've had it with Firefox.

  • IMovie is freezing and not loading project themes

    I made a 20 minute movie of my vacation.  Several clips where processed to enhance speed of clip but overall minimal processing.  I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, with an i7 processor.  I shouldn't be having these issues with this computer, does anyone have any solutions.  Appreciate the support.

    Hi
    Usually
    • corrupted iMovie pref file - or -
    • free space on Start-Up hard disk low
    • use of strange material eg .avi, .wmv, .wma etc
    Corrupted pref file
    • Start a new user account and log into this and have a re-try - if OK then here it is
    Free space
    • less than 25Gb free space - is not for me - recommendation is to keep 10-15% free all time
    File format - I can only tell what I use that works
    • Video - streamingDV (from miniDV tape Camera)
    • Audio - only .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD .aiff 44.1kHz (everything converted to this - from iTunes burned as Audio-CD -not used directly)
    • Photos - .jpg (.bmp is very problematic to me - intensive red)
    Yours Bengt W
