Safari hanging up? Here's one possible solution.

This report contains one possible solution to Safari hanging up on certain web pages.
Over the past couple of days, my PowerMac G4 started hanging up when I attempted to load certain pages from CareerBuilder.com.
The bottom of those CareerBuilder.com pages always reported that only xx of yy items (say, 32 of 37 items) were completed, then the spinning ball would appear, indicating that Safari had hung up, requiring me to Force Quit it. Those same CareerBuilder.com pages did not cause Safari on my iMac G5 nor my MacBook Pro to hang up, so I concluded that something had gone awry with Safari on the PowerMac G4 only.
Since other postings related to this topic appear to require a Crash Log to analyze what is going on, I checked for a Crash Log both via Console and by searching for one in the Crash Report folder, but there was none to be found there.
I tried pasting the "Problem Details" report that resulted from my most recent Force Quit, but whenever I tried to Post the Message, I would get a message telling me that "We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon." Other users have reported getting the same message, perhaps because the clipboard contains way too much text. I suppose I could have chopped that long Problem Details report into pieces and passed its information along that way, but I'm not sure that the Problem Details report gives quite the same analytical information as a Crash Report. Besides, from what I could glean, the myriad of well-meaning solutions that were offered seldom, if ever, appeared to cure the problems users were reporting.
Instead, I took a cue from a guy who reported in another thread on Apple Discussions that he cured Safari from hanging by disabling Java and JavaScript in Safari's preferences. That seemed efficient and reasonable, so I implemented his solution.
It seemed to work at first, but a short time after disabling Java and JavaScript, the Mac froze up. I could not access any open applications, nor could I force quit anything. My only choice was to press the power on button for over five seconds to force the computer to shut down. Exhausted from trouble-shooting, we both took a long nap after that. (Recommended trouble-shooting step.)
Upon refresh and restart, I launched Safari. It was now able to access the page in CareerBuilder.com which was causing the hang. However, because JavaScript was now disabled, I could no longer see the rollover button function on my own portfolio website, nor could I see who had visited my website at StatCounter.com, a web analytic service I use to monitor web traffic.
I wanted those abilities back.
So, with tabs open to both the offending CareerBuilder.com page and to StatCounter.com, I re-enabled JavaScript. When I refreshed the StatCounter.com page, the previously unavailable data updated fine. When I refreshed the Career-Builder.com page, all 96 of 96 items updated fine: most importantly, the page did not cause Safari to stall, as it had consistently been doing before.
I switched back to the StatCounter.com page, I enabled Java, and I refreshed that page. No issues to complain about there. I moved back to the problematic CareerBuilder.com page, and I refreshed that page. Safari re-loaded all 96 items again—this time pausing momentarily to report "1 error"—without hanging up.
I cannot know for sure, but perhaps the Java programming "error" contained on that CareerBuilder.com page was the trigger for causing Safari to hang up. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with my Safari configuration after all. This explanation is plausible, because the only hangs Safari has experienced over the past couple of days have occurred on two different CareerBuilder.com pages.
Thirty minutes later, refreshing that same problematic CareerBuilder.com page resulted in only 80 of 81 items being completed, as a new bunch of advertising messages cluttered up the page. Perhaps that one item which failed to load is related to that "error," which continues to be reported. However, at least the page is no longer stalling Safari.
In any event, these were the steps that "cured" the problem of Safari hanging:
1) In Safari preferences, disable Java and Java Script.
2) Shut down the computer.
3) Take a long nap while the computer is powered OFF.
4) Restart the computer and relaunch Safari.
5) Optional: Enable Java Script, then Java, if certain sites require them to be enabled for full functionality.
6) Optional: Visit pages that had caused Safari to hang, and see if Safari functions fully on those pages.
I have no technical understanding of what may have caused Safari to hang in the first place, or if switching Java and Java Script off and then back on, is the true solution to the problem. Maybe letting the computer take a long, overdue nap did the trick! I had been placing it in Sleep mode for several days, so it's missed a good shut down and re-boot routine.
But I am pragmatic about success, so I am merely reporting what worked for me and what I did. Your mileage may vary.
I will monitor the situation and report any future Safari hangs should they occur, since that might be an indication that the problem was not related to Java or Java Script at all.

Struggling to Sync iPhone contacts to iCloud? Here's a possible solution!

I was struggling all day trying to figure out why my contacts were appearing on my iPhone 5, but not on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 Edition. To make a long story short, I was able to add contacts to my Contact app on my Macbook and have them sync immediately to my iPhone, but was not able to do it vice-versa.
Here was the cause:
I opened up my Contacts app on my iPhone 5
I hit 'Groups' at the top left side of the app.
I was given three options; Show All Contacts, All Outlook, and All iCloud.
I had All Outlook and All iCloud checked.
I created a fake person on my Mac Contact's app and it showed up immediately under my phone.
After thinking on it for some time, I came back and unchecked All Outlook.
By doing this, only my one fake contact appeared.
This was then a red flag to me that I had stored all of my contacts as Outlook contacts, not as iCloud contacts. If you're having a similar problem, it could be that you are storing your contacts under your email, not as iCloud, which is a huge problem for Mac users who want to integrate everything together. I like to go to my Messages app on the Mac and have a name to go with each conversation, and when my phone is charging pick up the conversation on the Mac. First, go into your iPhone settings and assuming you're running iOS 7, others may differ, hit 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', scroll down to the sub category 'Contacts' and make sure your Default account is set to iCloud. Mine was set to Outlook which is why all of my contacts were stored in Outlook.
I found a very easy, quick fix to migrate the contacts from my Outlook to my iCloud! This solution works as a Verizon user.
Download the Backup Assistant app from the App Store on your iPhone.
Run the Backup Assistant.
Log into your Verizon account and hit "Manage Contacts"
You will then be brought to a page with contacts from your phone.
From here, Select All Contacts and hit the 'Gear' icon.
Click "Export Contacts"
This will create a file for you to refer to in the future so remember where you save it and make multiple copies.
Head over to your iPhone and download MultiDelete contact app. This app is used to delete multiple contacts instead of going one by one.
Once you have finished deleting your contacts from everything, including iCloud and your email program (mine was Outlook), you will have a clean and empty contacts book on your iPhone.
Go to your Mac now and open up Contacts.
Find the MyContacts.csv file and within Contacts, hit 'File' - 'Import' and browse to where MyContacts.csv is.
This will then add all of your contacts back into your phone, but as iCloud contacts, not as Outlook contacts or association with any other email address
Open up MultiDelete one more time and search for duplicates. Once you have found that there are no duplicates, you are all set.
Some people just like to turn off Contacts under their Mail, Contacts, etc... folder on their iPhone but that's not deleting them. This deletes them from the email program on the phone and makes them into iCloud contacts. Now, if you navigate to iCloud.com and log in, hit Contacts, all of your contacts are available. This is especially nice to have because if you ever use Messages on your Mac, you can text message right off your Mac!
This solution is only used for people running newer versions of both iOS and OSX. I am running iOS 7.1 currently and running the latest, most up-to-date version of Mavericks at the time this article is being written.
I figured after all of the trouble I went through today, I would share hoping that maybe somebody in a similar situation can get the fix they desire. Always enter your contacts app on your phone and uncheck your email version to test and see if they are iCloud contacts. As an Apple user with mutliple devices, this is especially helpful. You want all of your Apple devices integrated together from iPod touch to iPad, to Mac, to iPhone, as long as everything is in iCloud, you can sync them across multiple devices effortlessly.
Also, if this solution doesn't help, I'd start by troubleshooting and checking the following:
Making sure your iCloud is set up on each device and that you have turned on exactly what you desire to share between devices (whether it's contacts to calendar events)
If that's all set up, definitely look into my solution above.
If you're still having trouble, contact Apple Live Chat or give them a call. They were stumped by this issue I had, however after brainstorming a bit I figured it out myself.
I hope this helps a few people!

Itunes hangs when burning cd's - possible solutions

Hello everyone,
I've had what appears to be the same problem as many many more people on this site.
I haven't got a complete fix, after 4 months of trying but I've got as far as I have with the help of Toonz and the people at Apple.
Now here is what I have found:
1. The problem with my Itunes hanging at burning only happens if I have a mixed playlist that I am trying to burn. When I say mixed I mean a mix of purchased tracks and uploaded tracks from my cd collection. Just uploaded tracks work fine.
2. If I just burn a playlist of purchased tracks it works fine too.
3. If I don't control alt delete when it hangs, and I wait for up to 2 minutes, the burn evenutally kicks in. Don't do anything. Just leave it and see what happens. I was having to control alt delete to get out of the unresponsive Itunes, but by chance, yesterday, discovered that by leaving it it finally burnt my cd! This was a mixed cd with both purchased tracks and uploaded tracks.
Now, the people at Apple don't yet know why this is doing this. It only happens since version 6 of Itunes. This version (I think) was the first to introduce the "checkingplaylist" stage of burning and they seem to think that it might just be something to do with that.
Anyway, that all helped me. It is still frustrating to have to wait for a couple of minutes, but it's better than nothing. They are still trying to get to the bottom of this for me, too.
I hope this helps at least some of you.
Please give me some feedback if it has, as I'd love to know that all my efforts over the last few months could help others!
Good luck
Jane

I think I'm in love...
I just spent the past 3 hours running through reinstalls of iTunes, looking at every support topic and finally found this wonderful, wonderful thread.
I am having the same exact problem with mixed playlist burns.
I also have great success with waiting for only about 1-2 minutes while iTunes shows "Not Responding". Then it fires right up and burns perfectly.
Thank you for posting this quazi solution, and it has helped me tremendously. Well, at least it has saved me from having to transfer all of my music to a new digital music manager.
I hope this issue gets resolved soon

Fixing slow startup--one possible solution

I had a very frustrating week last week. Logging-in took forever, with several minutes of blue-screen before finally having a live computer. Once started-up there were no problems. This was purely a phenomenon of the startup process. Went through reams of console logs, removed tons of drivers (in the process I got rid of a lot of junk), but no fix. Built up a new hard drive with nothing on it but Snow Leopard. Same problem. I dug through the forums here, finding many similar problems with solutions all over the map, but none of them helped. Then finally...
The solution was simple. I have a number of external USB drives that I use for occasional archiving. They're usually powered-down, and it's rare that more than one is even plugged into the computer. But if that drive is the right drive (actually the WRONG drive), you'll have a problem just like mine.
USB always delivers a bit of power to a connected device--even if that device uses a wall-wart. If circumstances are just right, that little bit of power is enough to partially bring the device to life--enough for the computer to think something is there and enough for the device to misbehave. This was my problem. The solution was simple: for any device with its own power supply just leave the USB cable disconnected until you actually plan to use the device.
Like any debugging situation this is painfully obvious, if only in retrospect. Hope this little story saves somebody else some time.

There are many teething issues with the N96-1 currently. check to see that you have the latest software for your device by going here http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate and following the instructions.
The latest version is 11.101
Otherwise rumour has it a radically improved version is on it's way and hopefully this will solve your issue. although in my experience the phone will always work best when messages are on the C: Drive

IPod not recognised by Windows - here's a possible solution

I spent a good day off trying to work out why my iPod no longer recognised by Windows. Tried everything I could find on here and Apple's suggestions but none worked - dunno how much much extra crap I've put onto my computer.
Anyway, here's what I did to get my iPod recognised by Windows again.
Start Menu, Right click on "My Computer" select "Manage" and left click on "Device Manager". Scroll to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and click the + symbol. Right click on "SiS PC to USB Enhanced Host Controller" and select "Disable". Now reboot!!!!
My iPod is back!

thanks, adza!
be cautious if trying this on a Desktop with a USB keyboard and mouse. it's possible to end up shutting those down under those circumstances if you disable the high-speed interfaces. see:

we've had problems reported before with SiS chipsets and USB 2.0 ipod connections (from other Australians, indeed). it actually appears to be associated with some generalised problems with the SiS USB 2.0 implementation. there's some troubleshooting info specific to SiS given here:

Here's a possible solution for those w/Ellipsis 7 memory problems

My husband is having the exact same problem with his Ellipsis 7 tablet that MANY of you have posted about: not enough app space memory. Meanwhile, I have the same tablet, purchased at the same time and place with NO PROBLEMS.
After help from ANTHONY (amazing assistance) thru Verizon Tech Support, we found the difference in our tablets and a SOLUTION.
CHECK YOUR TABLET'S SOFTWARE VERSION by:
1. going to Settings,
2. clicking on About Tablet, and
3. scrolling down to Software Version.
You want it to say MV7A_31D25_422A (my tablet) and NOT MV7A_31D26_422 (my husband's).
My husband's tablet is going back for his software to be reconfigured to match mine. I understand your frustration and truly hope this solves your problem as well.

I spent 6 hours trying to get itunes to recognize my
nano the first time and none of the "troubleshooting"
tips worked. I was getting the message "the software
to connect with your ipod is not installed properly"
when I'd try to connect my nano. Windows was
recognizing it, but iTunes wasn't. Here's how I
solved the problem.
1. click on the start button in the lower left
corner.
2. select Settings and click Control Panel
3. select Administrative Tools (you may need to
switch to "Classic Look", located on the left hand
side if you're using XP before you can see the
Administrative Tools folder)
4. select Services
5. scroll down the list of services on the right hand
side of the Services window and look for iPodService
6. look across the iPodService for the Startup Type
column (it should will say either Automatic, Manual,
or Disabled)
7. double-click on whatever it has listed for
iPodService under Startup Type (it will probably have
Manual, or Disabled)
8. a pop-up window will appear, under the General tab
in the middle of the window will be a drop-down
window, select Automatic
9. click Apply
You should be good, to go from here. It worked for
me. I recommend re-starting your computer, but it
might not be necessary. After I switched iPodService
to Automatic I haven't had a lick of trouble
connecting my Nano.
I hope this helps.

Dv5 / dv6 / dv7 webcam not detected - one (possible) solution

There are SO many posts on webcams - here is something for those of you who no longer have warranties and need help.
Background:
I just purchased a new dv7 - no webcam detected! I tried everything I could think of and ended up sending the system in for service last week. Tech hinted that the connection may be loose (not the end at the mother board, the other end, next to the camera). Sad, that. I am still pawing through the posts looking to see if I'd missed anything that I could have tried.
Found this post all the way back from February 2011 from NotBuggy - Read on: this solution might work for you:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Windows-7-64-bit-Webcam-Drivers-for-dv5t-1000/td-p/46...
NotBuggy's first post descibes the initial issue. At the bottom of that post is the "Solution" link. For those interested, there may be helpful hints from other members in the answers NotBuggy received.
As NotBuggy says, this is not for the "faint of heart" - you will need to take apart your system and risk damage. Proceed only if other avenues are closed.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,

Blurred text - one possible solution

I know a lot of people, myself included, have had trouble importing Keynote slide presentations into iDVD, the main problem being the text blurring.
I might have a bit of a solution.
In Keynote, select the title slide and open the 'Document' tab of the 'Inspector'. Switch the size to something like 800 x 600 [try other sizes and you may get something better]. Then go to the 'Export' function and select the 'Images' tab and export as 'Tiff' format.
Once in iDVD, import all of the Tiff images [one for each slide] to movie insert. When burning to DVD, select 'Professional Quality' in the 'Project Info' box.
I found this works much better. Hope it helps.
Cheers...>Scotty

Scotty,
Just remember that DVDs are lower resolution devices (640x480 square pixels NTSC) than computer monitors so make sure you aren't trying to 'cram' too much text information on each slide.

YouTube login & linking problems - one possible solution

Rather than add this comment to one of the several topics concerning YouTube login and account linking problems, I'm starting this topic to isolate this particular problem and the solution that worked for me.
* SKIP TO LAST LINE FOR MY SOLUTION ->
The problem I experienced surfaced when I first tried to upload a video to YouTube from my iPhone 4. YouTube would no longer accept my YouTube password. My YouTube account was linked to my gmail.com account. Having read some of the suggestions in other threads, I unlinked the two accounts, but that did not help matters.
I signed out of the YouTube app in order to sign back in, as suggested elsewhere, but then I could no longer sign in to the YouTube app.
So I tried shutting down my iPhone and starting it up again, as was also suggested elsewhere. That didn't help.
So, exasperated, I went to the YouTube site and tried to change my YouTube account password to itself - and therein lay the solution! YouTube told me the password has to be 5 to 20 characters long and my (old) password was only 4 (because I had created my YouTube account long ago before they had that requirement.)
Once I set a new password that was long enough to satisfy this requirement, I was able to login to the YouTube app just fine and everything is working.
* The solution -> MAKE SURE YOUR YouTube PASSWORD IS LONGER THAN 4 CHARACTERS

No, it didn't work. After buying my MacBook Pro I updated everything including QT. As a result QT 7.2 simply didn't play any of my divx avi files. Before adopting the rude way, I obviously tried to update/replace all of the components including: Perian, DivX, Flip4mac. No way. I then forced a downgrade to ver. 7.1.6 using Pacifist (a package manager) and as a result I put the hole system in danger. It was in a total state of malfunction. I had to restore the system with the cd. Fortunately it kept my home! But I now run ver 7.1.6 and I do NOT have any intention to update it. I use Pro so I don't have any necessity of full screen support or else. Maybe if Apple will release a stable version I will consider the update. But for now, "nowing it is not installing it".

One Possible Solution

For those of you suffering from missing Spotlight, clock, applescript menu, etc... the culprit is quite possibly the "Front Row hack" that has been bouncing around the web lately. Replace the following files with backups of old ones:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BezelServices.framework/
/System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/
And remove this:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
Finally, reboot. This has fixed problems on more than one machine I administer.

Like many other users, my Epson printer was working fine 24 hours ago. I had it connected to my AirPort Extreme for wireless printing from my desktop and laptop Macs. After upgrading to Leopard, however, my Epson would only print in high-speed Economy mode (useless for photos) and for some reason it completely froze up when printing from iCal. The Epson web page told me the driver for my printer was included in Leopard, so I was thoroughly confused and frustrated. I spent close to $200 (Family pack) to upgrade to keep my Macs current, only to lose the ability to print! Then, after taking a walk to cool down, it dawned on me - Leopard has printer sharing.
Under the +Print & Fax+ Control Panel, I removed the Epson printer. Then I unplugged my Epson from my AirPort Extreme and plugged it directly into my desktop iMac. Under the Sharing control panel, I turned on printer sharing. Then I went back to the +Print & Fax+ control panel and added back the Epson printer. On my MacBook, I removed the Epson, then turned on printer sharing as well. When I added back the Epson on the +Print & Fax+ control panel, I noticed it had an extension like an email address, linking it to my iMac. Once I did this, I was back in business on both Macs and my problem was (at least for now) solved.
I hope this helps some of you out there! Hang in there!

Mp3 to podcast - one possible solution

I noticed several threads had been archived that did not get a good answer to how to take a audio mp3 podcast (downloaded from a website for example) and get it to appear in the podcast section in itunes.
I tried this applescript (found in the macosxhints website) and it worked well for me.

I just got a 6gb zen and spent hours trobleshooting why it kept disconnecting. It was all due to that modified LibUSB. I use a ps3 controller on my laptop and desktop to play some games. Thank you so much for finding out the cause.

IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution

During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
Here is a possible solution.
I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
Here is what I did:
1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
Good luck.

if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far.
