Safari is repeatedly crashing and web pages are not responding

So, my safari is constantly freezing (the spinning wheel of death shows up) and then I'm told that the web-pages are not responding and I need to force reload them all. And this can repeat a number of times; a full system re-start is the only fix.
Any fixes, solutions would be appreciated.
I'm using Safari 5.1.9; and Mac OS X 10.6.8

MIght be third party plugins causing Safari to freeze.
Try the troubleshooting help here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
And see if you can do this before Safari freezes.
Launch Safari and immediately press Command , (comma) to open the Safari Preferences pane then select the Extentions tab.
If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If Safari doesn't freeze, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test again.

Safari has become unusable—it freezes, links are unclickable, then I get "Web pages are not responding..."
Safari has been my favorite browser for a long time. Nothing against the others but I have found it faster and better. Now I can really no longer use it. This has been going on and getting worse for atr least few weeks. Anyone know why?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

Error "web pages are not responding"

What is the cause of this Safari error? What needs to be done to prevent it?
"Web pages are not responding. To reload this webpage, all pages in other tabs and windows must also be force reloaded. Do you want to reload this page?
Force reloading might cause you to loose information you have entered"
Several threads reference it when it occurs after performing various kinds of actions, and the author's ascribe it to their particular operation, but obviously it is a more general error.

> look under "User Diagnostic Reports"
No entrys exist in that area. Looks like the system cleaned itself up earlier today:
11/11/11 1:06:49 PM SubmitDiagInfo[3887] Cleaning up expired diagnostic messages database at path: /var/log/DiagnosticMessages/2011.10.12.asl
Using OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.1
After posting my message I performed the latest Software Update.
But my question is also general -- what are the causes of this error? I have read assertions that it relates to the newest Flash Plugin, or Java, etc. but I would like an authoritative explanation. How can something cause ALL tabs to need to be reloaded? Is it caused by something on a web page, or by something internal like the cache getting too large or corrupted or what?
This error is associated with extremely high % of CPU time being taken up by Safari Web Content.

Web pages are not responding

I often get the message that "web pages are not responding". Safari seems to slow down to a crawl, I've reset Safari and emptied the caches, t may get better for a few minutes but then returns it's slow down. Someone said to quit safari and then trash Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ folder. That doesn't seem to help. Does anyone have any suggestions how to solve this annoying problem?

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/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 to select it:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal. 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.

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Web pages are not fully functional on iPad

Until recently I was enjoying my experience with my iPad 2. I went to Netflix to write a review for a film and was unable to do so. For whatever reason, I am unable to select the desired stars for my rating. While obviously this is not a deal breaker, it is frustrating knowing that some web sites are not fully functional with my iPad. I hope this changes in the future. Cheers.

Here we are over 2 years after the original post and I am having this problem too. Having it in both Safari and Chrome. When I first got my Ipad 3 I was able to rate movies (select star from red to yellow) on the netflix.com website. Somewhere along the line that quit working. Everything else on the site works even radio buttons on page where you select types of movies you watch and how much. At first I thought something on the website changed but then I got a new Ipad 3 at work, low and behold, I was able to rate movies by selecting stars. So what's the difference? Tried deleting history, cookies etc. Removing apps and rebooting. Long story short, I reset my Ipad deleteing all user info and settings and setting up as a new Ipad and it still doesn't work. I can't find any settings on the website itself that affect this. Anyone?

Web pages are not automatically published. First they are saved as drafts with a .new extension.

Hi,
I am curently using adobe CS3. I am facing this strange
problem where my web pages are being saved with a .new extension
when I am tryign to publish. Everytime I need to go and change the
extension from .cfm.new to .cfm inorder to see the changes made to
the web page. I have even enabled the option so that contribute
does not send the page for reviewing before publsihing. Even after
enabling it I am facine the same problem. And this problem is being
faced by everyone who has publishing rights including the admin.
Can anyone please suggest a way to get rid of the .new extension
after publishing.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We, too, are having this problem. I see two posts in 2008-07 reporting this, but no answers and nothing via Google.
Details:
1. The web server is a Red Hat Linux / Apache.
2. It seems site-wide: several department webmasters have reported the problem. It may be limited to webs that are using Contribute and check-in/check-out.
3. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that our NTP daemon is broken, and the time of day drifted ~6 minutes (I have since reset the clock by hand).

App tabs and web page tabs not saved when Apple Mac is powered down

Using Firefox with Apple Mac running OS X v 10.7.1 and Parallels 6, and Windows Vista as a virtual computer. Have Firefox 6.o installed on the Mac and Firefox 6.0 for Windows installed within Microsoft Vista running under Parallels 6 as a virtual machine.
Issue 1) Within Mozilla on the Mac whenever I power down and restart the computer all my app tabs and web page tabs are lost except for my home page, even though I have set up Firefox preference to remember my open web pages/tabs.
Issue 2) Within Firefox running within Vista on the virtual machine my web pages are remembered but I cannot figure out how to create a app tab.

Tabs are only saved if you close (Firefox > Quit) the Firefox application while those tabs are still showing. If you close a window and still have the menu bar visible then you wont reopen already close tabs. You may need to be able to reopen the three last closed windows via History > Recently closed Windows.

The very top of web pages do not respond search engines and such. like face book cant use top messege or freind button it is same for all web sites.

Qosmio G40 hangs and some programs are not responding

Hello and happy holidays to all.
Please could i get some help with my G40?
The pc is hanging and refusing to work.
Ccreens lock and i get constant messages that the program(s)are not responding.
I have run all checks i could find, chkdsk in cmd prompt, defrag etc. There are no problems reported.
I have used system mechanic professional to check registry and everything else, again nothing that is not to be expected was reported.
I have run every virus and malcious software test.
I think i would like to restore the pc to factory settings but cannot find any option to do so.
Any ideas
stafford

Hi!
If you want to restore the notebook to factory settings and you have Vista, you must boot from the recovery disks or press F8 at startup and then choose Repair my Computer and follow the menu instructions.
If you have Windows XP, you need the recovery disks.
Before you do this, backup your data first. The HDD will completely erase.
I think also its the best way to reinstall Windows but you should also check if you have the newest BIOS:
