Safari freezes and not respond, Chrome works great why?

I just upgraded to Yosemite, and Safari keeps freezing and not responding I have tried everything from removing aches, remove web history but keep freezing. On the other hand, Chrome works fantastic so needs to be something only related with Safari. Apple says Safari goes 6x faster than other web browser, well in my hands in can prepare my lunch and finish it before it opens one page, so 6x faster maybe in Cupertino because not in my laptop. Any suggestions of how to fix the Safari????

Hi ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
No 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.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting 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.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Itunes 10 update on windows 7 makes it freeze and not respond

Ever since I updated my itunes to the newest version my itunes will freeze and not respond everytime I open it.
I use windows 7 and have not add-ons
any help

Many thanks.
That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

HT4061 My iPad 2 screen is freezing and not responding. I can't even get it to open up. What do I do?

My iPad 2 screen is freezing up on me and not responding to my prompt. I can't even slide it to open or shut off the power. What do I do?

Try a 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.

Satellite L305-S5955 Freezing and not responding

I have had this laptop for more than 4 years now and recently I have had issues with it freezing up and not responding within approximately 5-10 min of booting up. I have had to do a system restore to factory out of box state 3 times now. What could be causing this issue and how do I stop it from happening again? Please help me!!!!

Andy-
When printing, the printer should be visible if it is an AirPrint printer, connected by WiFi or to a WiFi router via Ethernet (NOT USB), and the WiFi router is capable of correctly handling Bonjour data required by AirPrint.
To determine if your printer is capable of AirPrint, see <AirPrint-enabled printers>. Even if it is on that list, it may be necessary to update the printer's firmware before AirPrint will work.
It may be possible to change the setup or update the firmware of a WiFi router that does not work with AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer for info, if that is the problem.
Search the iTunes App store for iPad printing Apps from your printer manufacturer. There are other printing Apps such as Print n Share, but these are not as convenient or as easy to use as AirPrint.
It is also possible to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. One program that does this is Printopia for Macintosh. For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator. Versions are available for both PC and Mac computers.

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.

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

Photoshop CS2 freezing and "Not Responding"

I've had Photoshop CS2 running on the same computer and OS (Vista) since around the time it came out, and it's always worked fine for me.
A week or so ago Photoshop began to freeze continuously, and when it freezes I click on it and it goes into its "Not Responding" phase where the screen whites out. Sometimes it prompts me to close the program. I usually wait until it unfreezes (around 30 seconds) but if I open another window to pass the time, I can't click directly back into Photoshop, I have to minimize the other windows I was using to get to it, and it will not respond the first few seconds when I open the window or the program itself. Sometimes I can get a minute or so of work done, but that's usually it.
I've tried uninstalling the program then reinstalling many times, deleting the preference files with Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc. I have plenty of memory left on my computer. It's only photoshop that does this, ImageReady works fine.
Is there anything else I can try to fix it?

Please allow me to suggest a way to help determine if you have hardware problems...
Try this:
1. Click your Start button and type Event Viewer in the search box. When Event Viewer comes up, click it.
2. Look in the Windows System log (or Administrative Events) for errors. If you are seeing, for example, recoverable disk errors, they will be logged.
3. Are you seeing any actual crashes of Photoshop? If so, look in the Application log for more information on these events, especially for the "Faulting Module" information.
Also:
A. Have you changed / installed any 3rd party software / plug-ins since it worked well?
B. Has your maximum RAM allocation for Photoshop changed? What value have you set in Edit - Preferences - Performance, and what is your total RAM in your system?

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.

IChat freezing and not responding during video chats!

I'll start a video chat, and then about 20-30 seconds in, the chat will freeze, and iChat will become completely unresponsive. Then, I have to force quit it, start it back up, and only run into the same problem again! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I see you post this same solution to many people. I have tried it to no avail. I am having the exact same problem with the video going out about 30 seconds after the chat starts, then the app freezes if I try to do anything. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Apple Care troubleshooting it today.
I'm starting to think my ISP is the root of the problem (Cox). http://www.canyouseeme.org - also says that it cannot see my computer on port 16402 (which is what I understand iChat tries to use in Leopard).
Even if setting a bandwidth limit of 500Kbps worked for me I would still be unsatisfied, as I don't understand why I should have to limit the quality of my chat when I have a connection capable of 15Mbps down /1.5Mbps up.

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

My apps keep freezing and not responding

my i phone apps keep freezing! any suggestions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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 the test.

Dreamweaver 8 freezing and not responding

I recently purchased Dreamweaver 8 for Mac, and definately
everytime I click the button to show remote and local view it
freezes. Sometimes if I just click through the menus it doesnt

wrong place. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
