Safari dialogue boxes freeze computer

In the last week, whenever I have responded to a dialogue box from Safari, the whole computer freezes as the box moves up to disappear. This is especially irritating, because I can no longer save new bookmarks, since the program doesn't remember them after restart. What might be the cause of this, and how can I fix it? I haven't downloaded any software other than the regular software updates I receive alerts for.
Thanks.

Hello Catherine136, Welcome to Apple discussions; )
Does the computer have this problem in a test account? If you do not have one already go to:
System preferences /Accounts/Login Options, use the [+] to add one,
Log out of your user name account and into Test, run Safari do the same actions as in your user name account.
Use this freeware tool to maintain your computer & for Safari if you do not use one already OnyX This article will guide you on how to:Clearing caches with OnyX Make sure to get the correct version for your os 10.3.9
Font duplicates can cause a myriad of issue on your computer look through Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X and make sure fonts are sorted.
Read through this article see if anything helpsGeneral troubleshooting freezes
Run permissions repairTravis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting Also this About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature
if this does not help it maybe best for you to post in Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier if the whole computer freezes up if just Safari this is the place; ). Good luck
Please let us know how you do..

Save as dialogue box freezes

Hi
I have dw cc and several other apps cc2014.
I have noticed that when I do file->save as in Dw then the dialogue box hangs for maybe a minute or two and then is populated with the existing files. The next time its virtually instant.
How can I stop this annoying pause first time round?
Thanks

Have you tried any of the general "catch-all" troubleshooting steps yet, like clearing the program cache or restoring preferences?

Can't share photos or dialogue box freezes/won't dismiss

Whenever I try to share a photo from my iPad via Messages , the photo often fails to be generated. Furthermore the messages box cannot be cancelled/dismissed. This seems to be a bug.
Also I have problems with syncing with the cloud,as always! Projects appear then disappear, fail to upload or duplicate for no apparent reason!! (I know this should be another post)
Any news when an update will be released?
I'm using an iPad 4 with iOS 8.1 with a fresh install of the PST app.
Thanks!

Probably this is what they are referring to.

Computer freezes when dialogue box comes up

For example, when I went to Tools/Clear history, and dialogue box came up asking for time frame. I cannot x out, cancel, minimize or choose an option. I have to ctrl/alt/del. Happens for every dialogue box I get on internet as well.

Check and tell if its working.

When quitting safari I used to get a dialogue box with checkboxes, useful if I accidentally pressed command q, but now option seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why or how to retrieve it please?

I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc.
Any idea why, or how I can get this useful option back please?

Now resolved, after chatting to Apple online support, who said they'd not heard of this happening - solved it quickly enough though.
Anyone interested or suffering similar I was told to remove website data from privacy tab in Safari preferences. And yes, I'd love to know how it worked too.....
Great thanks to Apple.

When I start up the computer, the dialogue box opens and saying that the procedure entry point splite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I tried to fix this problem by redownloading itunes, but the problem still persists. How can I fix it? thank you.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well
In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Indesign CC crashing / freezing on save new folder name folder dialogue box

Hey guys,
I am having a reacuring bug regarding the new and awesome indesign cc 9.2 64 bit windows pc.
When I am saving or opening in indesign if I use the dialogue box to create a new folder to save the file in it creates it and then when the mouse moves to let you rename it from new folder default it freezes and crashes indesign.
Anyone else have this? Just curious if this is a known bug?
This is on a fresh install (re-install) saving to a second hard drive that is not the OS drive - if that helps. No other programs have had this problem.
Cheeeers,
D

Try installing the 9.2.1 update. Probably won't solve the problem, but shouldn' hurt, either.
I don't think this is a bug, by the way, or other users would be reoprting it, too, so it's likely to be an interaction with something else on your sytem. You might be able to isolate it by running MSconfig to turn off startups and test.

My dialogue box changed and now I can't upload photos using Safari, why?

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 and Safari 6.0.5. I've always used Safari with no issues. I'm a photographer so uploading photos is extremely important. I went to upload some photos today to different websites and my dialogue box looks very different. For a brief milisecond I see my old one then some new one. The new one won't let me access anything inside of the folders and places it shows me. To see if it was a browser issue I tried to upload photos to Twitter using my TweetDeck account and had no issues so it's definitely a browser issue. I have no downloaded any new apps or programs recently. PLEASE help ASAP! Thank you

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
 ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/com.apple.WebProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. Delete the following items from the folder, if they exist:
com.apple.Safari
com.apple.WebProcess+com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Photomerge not working at all in CC - Dialogue box wont even pop up - ALL automate commands freeze PS CC

I really have no idea what I am doing wrong.
My computer specs are very up to par with handling photo merging. I have done so in the past but now I cannot at all.
Literally when i try to open the photo merge dialogue box nothing happens and photoshop sits idle.
ANY automate commands do the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please post your Photoshop System information here use Photoshop menu Help>System Info... use its copy button and post info here. Third party plug-ins like Nik tools are known to interfere with Photoshop scripting. Many Automate thing are Photoshop scripts like Fit Image, Photomerge, Lens correction etc. Make sure you see Adobe ScriptingSupport plug-in is installed on your system information in the required plug-ins setion.

Are we to guess at the statement?

I accidentally closed the dialogue box when Firefox asked if it was okay for a program to modify my computer. Now I can't open the program.

I have a game (Neverwinter Nights) that periodically updates itself. Yesterday, I got a dialogue box asking if it was okay for the game to modify my computer (happens every now and then). I meant to click "yes", but instead accidentally closed the box (which I believe defaulted to "no"). Now, I can't open the game. How can I fix this?

hello stmanley1970, those dialog boxes are not originating from firefox, but from your operating system windows 7. therefore please contact the support channels of the publisher of this game in order to receive help for this issue...

Freezing and dialogue box requesting restart

in the last month several times my screen freezes{always during the screen saver mode}. some of the time i was downloading a movie but it has happened when the screen saver goes into action approx. 5 minutes before the sleep mode.
then appears a translucent dialogue box in several languages telling me to press and hold the power button for restart.
seems to be connected to the screen saver mode, any suggestions?
thanx

The document at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25704 explains that this error results from a missing file (BaseSystem.pkg) is missing from your >library>receipts folder.
That document also suggests it may have been moved, so first off, try and search for it in the Finder's Edit menu 'Find' command. If you locate it elsewhere on the system, move it back to the library/receipts folder. If it's not found on your system, you can copy it from another Mac running a similar version of MacOS (it doesn't have to be exactly the same version). It's about 2Mb in size so it can even be emailed to you from someone who has a suitable copy.
Alternatively, as the document suggests, you can reinstall MacOS from your install disk. Use 'archive and install' to ensure you don't damage your data, and then bring the system back up to date, preferably by downloading the combo updater rather than System Updates.
You may be able to extract a copy of BaseSystem.pkg from your install disk using Pacifist by the way. I've not tried this, but it may be worth a try if you are otherwise facing a reinstall.

Computer authorization dialogue box frozen

I am trying to transfer books between old and new laptops. Having copied them to a pen drive I get a computer authorization dialogue box asking for my id and password. However it won't let me enter anything into the boxes. What am I doing wrong?

Is the ADE on the new machine authorized with the same AdobeID as the ADE on the old machine? If so, you should not need to reenter your id and password on the new machine.
