Safari crashes or hangs requiring unplugging power to my iMac desktop running OS 10.8.2. This doesn't happen with FireFox. Also while trying to recover my old files using Carbonite I get messages saying there is no space on my startup disk 1 TB?
After replacing my burnt out original hard drive in my iMac 24 inch desk top computer with 1 TB hard drive I've had repeated problems with Safari hanging/not responding. This has frozen my computer and required me to unplug the power cord and restart. It doesn't happen with FireFox. In addition, while trying to restore from Carbonite I've had it hang five or six times never completing the restore. When the technician replaced the hard drive he installed OC 10.8.2. When restoring I get repeated messages that there isn't enough room on my startup disk to continue the restore. This obviously isn't the case because I have far more storage space with a 1 TB hard drive. Any ideas what is going on and how I can prevent these two problems from continuing? Thanks.
You've got an incompatible Logitech driver and java was incompletely uninstalled.
You may have a problem with the Wacom driver.
I don't know if fixing those things will help.
There also a few window server errors, but I don't know if they are causal.
If you can note the time of the hangs, that might help narrow it down in the logs.

On Yahoo Mail...and ONLY Yahoo Mail..I get a 404 error after entering my user name and password. This doesn't happen with IE, just Firefox, and just Yahoo Mail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF; no change. Yahoo was absolutely no help whatsoever; can you solve the mystery? Thanks
HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all Firefox plug-ins, but I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6. -

In Imovie 2008 when I drag an event to another drive, the event is copied and not moved. Thereafter if I try to move the original clip to trash I anm warned the clip will no longer be accessible in the project it is linked to. How do I get to move the clip and keep it connected to the project?
I have iPhoto '09. The problem occurs when I try to move a photo from iPhoto onto a document or anywhere. I click on the photo and try to drag it to the document. When I do this a message box pops up saying that the file cannot be opened because it is empty. This only happens with a small number of photos but I just don't understand the fact that I can see these photos (and print them but only directly from iPhoto) but I can't do anything with them since, for some reason, the computer is seeing the file as empty.
Hope that helps. Thanks. -

I use Firefox 3.6.12 on an iMac with OS10.6.4.
no. thats the first thing I thought of. it doesn't jump on mac safari, and you wouldn't need to zoom in on an ipad.
I say this just in case you went to the site on your ipad or mac.
do this from your iphone and be sure zoom in and then to scroll around alot. (side to side as you scroll down)
now it also could be some weird thing that happens when you zoom in. to read the article I have to pinch in enough to scroll sideways as well as scrolling down. I can't read microscopic print.
it doesn't jump until you attempt to scroll the page around scrolling to the side or to the bottom of the page.
I know not the touch the top of safari as that does indeed bounce it back to the top. and since this only happens on abc news and nowhere else I am thinking its them somehow.
my current guess is some ad that makes the page reload or something. -
Why does my iMac screen flicker only when using Safari? It doesn't happen with Firefox.
Yesterday, I had an issue with OS X, causing my screen to go black upon waking up my pc. Come to find out through the Apple Forum, that when the OS X was originally installed, it was not a complete install. Once I received the fix solution, completing the OS X install, (10.9.3) everything was back to normal, so it seemed.
Now, when using Safari, the whole page flickers and so forth, including the address bar. I never had problems with the screen prior to this. Also, it doe not occur when using Firefox.
Is there a fix for this? or an adjustment that can be made. This never happened prior to the OS X install, which was about 2 months ago.Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall. -
This problem occurs intermittently, usually for several days, then fixes itself for several days. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. This has been happening for quite a while, in both the newest release and older versions. I've asked the people at Yahoo, but they have no idea what is happening.

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?
this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem? -

Please see the subject line thanks
I upgraded to 20gb iCloud but it isn't enough to back up. I get constant error messages saying there is no backup space and I've not been able to use the upgrade. Apple promised to refund then didn't. Please help is there anyway I can use this space?If you were told they would refund the price for the iCloud storage - Contact AppleCare and ask to speak with a senior advisor. Have the case number for the promised refund available.
If you are trying to update your device, but you don't have sufficient space to download and install the update, you need to delete content from your device. Buying storage in iCloud does not add space to the device which is what you need.
You can always update using a computer with iTunes installed - this method is faster, and will allow you to make a backup on the local computer (Local backups restore faster than iCloud backups).

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

I have OS X 10.6.8. downloaded and installed upgrade for Safari. Now getting message saying application requires Mac OS 10.9 or later. Will a reload of the older Safari cure the problem or do I have to upgrade to the 10.9?

An OS X upgrade is necessary. Apple no longer supports OS X v10.6 > Apple Kills Snow Leopard: OS X 10.6 No Longer Receives Security Updates
That article, like many others released back at that time in FEBRUARY, was based upon the inaccurate assumption that because Apple did not release a security patch at the same time it did for other versions of OS X, that it must have stopped updating Snow Leopard.
Informed members of this forum have pointed out that the security flaw patched back then was not present and hence no patch for Snow Leopard was needed.
Since that time Apple has continued to support Snow Leopard, including updates for Facetime for Snow Leopard. Yes, Safari for Snow Leopard has stopped updates past version 5 and an alternative browser should be used.
