Safari freezing up often

Hi all,
I've recently started having a problem with certain pages on Safari (and Firefox). As the page loads, it will freeze for many seconds. Can't use the scroll bars, the preference tabs, nothing. Finally, it loads and all is well. I believe it may be only happening on pages with ads or clips that are Adobe Flash based. Anybody else seeing this same issue?
I've downloaded the latest flash player and debugger and no luck.
Thanks for any suggestions.

What debugger?

Why does my iMac freeze so often?

I got an iMac computer last May, and ever since then I have been having some issues that can be quite annoying. First of all, it freezes very often. I could be in the middle of reading an email and suddenly the rainbow spinning ball comes on and never seems to go away. Sometimes I go off and do something else just to see how long it would take for my computer to un-freeze, but after being gone for several minutes, it still continues to load. I end up having to restart the computer about 5-6 times a day because of constant freezing. Again, this computer is barely 7 months old and I already have some serious issues. I do not run many apps at the same time, and the only apps that I have running most are Safari and Skype. I don't run any big programs that could slow the computer down, so that can't be the problem. Also, sometimes when I try to use the computer, it is just a black screen. It isn't black like it's turned off. It's kind of hard to explain, but it seems that the computer is on because it emits light, but it is just a black screen. But the problem is that I can't do anything to wake it up. Moving the mouse doesn't work, so I am left to holding the power button down to turn it off. This probably happens about once a day. I am not sure if this issue is connected, but I might as well mention it anyways. Many apps don't respond and I need to force-quit them quite often. The app that I have the most problems with is iMovie. It seems almost impossible to open it because each time it freezes and doesn't respond. I have this once in a while with Safari, but not nearly as often as iMovie. Sorry for the amount of questions, I have just been kind of disappointed with the problems that I have been having, especially because the computer is not old at all. My family has the exact same computer which is only a month older than mine, and it operates perfectly. The same applications are loaded on both of them, so I don't understand why my computer has so many issues and my family's doesn't.

Why does Safari freeze when the cursor hovers across "Bookmarks"?

Safari v 4.1
Hi,
When I move the cursor over "Bookmarks" in the menu at the very top of the window, Safari freezes for about 5 minutes. It can also freeze when the cursor is simply passing under the "Bookmarks". When I'm moving the cursor horizontally across the entire screen, I have to keep the cursor well below the top menu bar to avoid freezing Safari. Otherwise Safari is working OK. I often Force Quit" Safari when this happens, but if I wait, it will unfreeze.
This is all about hovering, not clicking.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks, Rafael

Hi Carolyn.
First, about resetting. I've never done it before, and I recall hearing—but have no direct experience—that it practically wipes the slate clean. I've built a very sophisticated Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu, and because I'm a researcher, I never erase history. When I started using Safari a long time ago, I was told by Apple to regularly erase history. Then a couple of years ago I was told by someone I trust that it's OK to keep it.
I regularly empty Cache and remove cookies.
Are these the top 5 buttons?:
1 Clear history
2 Reset Top Sites
3 Remove all webpage preview images
4 Empty the cache
5 Clear the Downloads window
I got this list from Safari Help>Resetting Safari. I'm using Safari 4.1, but I noticed that this help page referred to Safari 5 in the 'Reset Top Sites' explanation: "Reset Top Sites: … Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari 5."
As for the rest:
2 Reset Top Sites—I’ve never made use of this
3 Remove all webpage preview images—not familiar or I don’t recognize what it is.
4 Empty the cache—Fine with that
5 Clear the Downloads—window Fine with that
I’m letting you know about these details before I proceed with your instructions.
Thanks for responding,
Rafael
PS Since I'm asking about Bookmarks here, I've been meaning to find out something about my Safari Bookmarks.html that is exported, then backed up to one of my external HDs. If Safari or my computer crashes, and I re-install Safari, then import those bookmarks, are they re-created to look just as they do now in 'Show All Bookmarks'?
I have some old bookmarks (or 'Favorites' I think they were called) that, when imported (in an html format?), appeared as a long list, rather than as a neatly tiered record of folders and files.

MacBook Pro freezes too often ... ?

Hey,
I bought a MacBook Pro 17" with the 500gb, 7200-rpm hard drive. From the beginning on I recognized that it freezes quite often. Just with tasks like playing a new song in iTunes or some website in Safari. Also after installing the firmware update of the hard disk and now with Snow Leopard nothing changed???
Is the problem really the hard disk? Does Apple really work on this issue? What happens when I send it in? Do they just put the same type of hard disk inside or another brand oder model?
Can a change my current HD with a SSD?
I really want to get rid of this problem ...

Hello symbiose,
And Welcome to the Apple Discussions...
You have 14 days from the purchase date to return the Mac, they will switch it out.
If you are out of the 14days the you need to call Apple Care, as it is under warranty.
If they deem that the drive is bad then they will replace it with what came in the Mac when you purchased it. They will upgrade the Mac to SSD but it'll cost you.
Did you by any chance add any memory (RAM) to the Mac, yourself?

Safari freezes when I try to delete a particular bookmark

I have a an unknow bookmark and every time I try to delete it, Safari freezes and I have to force quit. Any solution?

HI Mike and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
There are no Mac viruses in the wild and I doubt it's malware. Try emptying the cache and reset Safari and see if that helps. Often times, just restarting your Mac can help.

Safari freezes for a minute or two and there's a rotating color wheel

Quite often, when going to different websites and stuff, Safari will freeze up, and there will be a rotating color wheel, and then after a couple minutes it will load the page. It's pretty annoying and I'd like to get it fixed. It's a Macbook Pro with the Snow Leopard update on Mac OS X. I'm pretty new to Macs(just got this about 2 weeks ago). Any help would be great. Thanks!

HI... welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on our new Mac!
Use Open DNS
Click the computer icon and follow the instructions.
Also, from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache
and... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
And...
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
3. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
4. Restart Safari and restart your Mac.

If Safari freezes up when visiting sites with Flash content, try Uninstalling the current Flash Player Plugin, then reinstall new.
How to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player plugin:

When you are finished uninstalling the old Flash plugin, go here and install a fresh copy

As with any installations, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Safari freezes after a few webpages

A nasty habit has developed with my Powerbook G4 laptop. I'm running OS 10.4.11 with Safari 3.2.1 on a wireless airport system.
Here's the pattern: I start up Safari and everything is OK for 3-8 web site visits. But then Safari freezes and can't get past the first few characters of the URL. It's trying... but it can load past http://.
I then try to close Safari but I often have to "force quit" to do that.
I then restart Safari and all is well for a while but then, after a view minutes of surfing, it breaks down again.
Any idea as to what is going wrong and how I can fix it?

HI Steve,
How much free drive space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Some maintenance might be in order. Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
Try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

Safari freezes and won't open pages

Hi, I have been suffering from Safari freezing whilst opening the homepage, and then when click on any links it just stops loading anything. My homepage has been set to yahoo.co.uk, which partially opens, but then seems to not want to load images. The text and links show, but the links just don't react when clicked on. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I also have IE installed, which is fine, but I want to migrate to Safari for web use as more and more sites are recommending it.
Can anyone help?
I also have an iTunes problem, which may or may not be related, but I'll post that in the relevant discussion.

Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari.

Safari freezing time to time

When I use google chrome, my macbook runs fine all the time even without rebooting for a long time, but since safari has been updated in the past months, i thought i should give it a try again and after about a day of usage, it froze, just like it did a few months ago. I have to open Activity Monitor and force quit Safari, then reopen it. Now it works fine again...until it freezes again after some time. Its ANNOYING! Why isn't apple fixing this bug?? I thought Apple makes everything perfect, and Macs should Just Work, at least that's what they said in the ad campaign. That's why i switched to mac from PC.. and I'm very disappointed with 3 major bugs that I notice: menu bar gone (not accessible) after watching full screen video on safari (and also chrome) in full screen mode, safari crashing, and Messages app mixing up messages and delaying receiving messages and also giving error when sending messages after more than about an hour of not sending messages (these messages bug only happens with apple to apple chats).
Anyway, enough with my rant, this thread is for the safari freezing bug. Is there any way i can fix this and still use safari? I don't like chrome, and every other browsers, as they are not as smooth as safari. And also, i watch youtube videos in HTML5 using an extension and it works extremely well only for safari, and other browsers really lack good HTML5 video extensions. They all don't work well.
So please help me guys. Thank you!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then uninstall them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Safari Freezes Up

I can open Safari just fine, but once opened, if I try to use the menu bar, Safari freezes up and I get the spinning colored wheel. I can wait til the cows come homefor something to happen but the only way out is to "Force Quit" Safari. It was working fine until I downloaded a recomended update. I am very low on hardrive space, which I guess slows everything down. I have less than 450 meg.
If I choose to erase the hard drive and reload OSX and iLife, how would I do that and would it likely get me in trouble. Are there certain operational files I need to save? Is this a task for a novice?

Hello Edward
Actually, for a long time now there's been a plethora of postings by exasperated individuals, including me, over the hanging behavior of Safari as described by you.
I picked one or two to add a reply to, and posted my own. Ther were so many; and I'm sorry I didn't particularly notice yours amongst the many.
In any case, I tried turning off Bookmark Bar, and it didn't prevent Safari hanging. I suspect you may be seeing the interminable spinning polychrome wheel back again in Safari. The only thing safari responds to then is Force Quit.
I believe Safari's hanging behavior is a huge problem for Safari, which, for reason(s) unknown to the public, Apple doesn't want to resolve. It's been going on for a couple of years in my own experience; and I know many people, including the IT-support Mac specialists where I used to work have simply given up and migrated to Firefox. The situation must be intentional on Apple's part, despite its trumpeting how advanced Safari is. What a strange and frustrating way for Apple to fail to support or at least level with its patrons, let alone to abandon what appeared to be core software.

HT201263 Video not playing, safari freezes or slow. Suggestions?

Hello, Safari freezes on me and sometimes closes. Worryingly it's intermittent as well. When trying to watch video it just states loading and never progresses, and it states I have an update to an App but nothing showing when I open Apps. Also cannot download any. Anyone assist please?

2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Safari freezes

Safari freezes on me...I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit. Usually happens when I am on www.myspace.com.
Several people have streaming videos, video codes on thier site...several which will not play on my computer...I dont know if that could be a cause of the problem or not. Is there a plug in I should install? Just dont know how to fix this annoying problem.

If it has something to do with the network, how many have routers? Or broadband modems?
Something that was a problem with networking on previous Mac OSes before OS X, the dreaded Mac pause. That problem was fixed with static IPs. That meant not using the automatic connection or the DHCP settings. We had to set the IP addresses manually from the list of IP addresses that were not in the list of automatically assigned IP addresses.
I did notice, when everything froze up, if I unplugged the power supply from my router, everything woke up. Which makes me think that this problem has re-arisen.
I am trying this "fix" now to see what happens.
I would have thought that this problem would have been fixed in OS X. Maybe as someone else pointed out that it is JAVAScript, that would be a shame.

After 10.9.2 update safari freezes

After the 10.9.2 update the week of April 21, Safari freezes up. I can still move the pointer but nothing else. I cannot force quit or open any other apps. I shut down the machine and when I reboot I get the gray screen. I did a safe boot, restarted and it worked until the next freeze. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At or near the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "System Version." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
