Safari issues in Lion 10.7.5

My 2011 IMac started crashing. I see no evidence of problems in diagnostic messages, except for the following message every time I open a safari page: "safari: noop". Anyone knows what it means?
Thanks!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Safari hangs and Lion Crashes

Hi,
I was borwsing the web in my MacBook Pro using Safari 5.1. I was composing a email on Gmail when the colorful spinwheel appeared. I let the spinwheel to run for about 45 seconds before attempting a Force Quit. Since Safari did not get out of its spinwheel (hang), I then went to the Apple Menu and opened up the "Force Quit" menu, I selected Safari and proceeded to force quit the progam. This is where things got wierd, after force quitting Safari, the whole system became unresponsive, I was not able to make any selections on the Apple Menu. However the most bizzare part of the issue was that the cursor still moved but nothing was selectable on screen, so I decided to make a key combination (cmd+option+power button) to make a force restart (I don't like the forced restart method where the user presses the power button for more than 5 seconds, I am told that the key combination of forced restart allows the EFI to reset the whole system).
Has anyone experienced such symptoms when using Safari?, Is this a common issue?
Thanks for your time!

Lion in it's current released form ( 10.7.1 ) has lots of strange glitches and Safari is a memory hogging performance killer. If you open Activity Monitor with Safari open adn browsing like you usually do, then you will notice two connected processes : Safari itself and "Safari webcontent" , these two can also be accompanied by the evil Flash plugin of course.
"Webcontent" is new in v5.1 and is a sandboxing around any open website, a security "firewall" for the web - if a website has malware that wants to sneak via Safari into your Harddisk, then the webcontent process will forbid that. Safari ( as all apps and the OS itself ) in Lion runs by default in 64bit usermode mode, making things even worse, because the App has unlimited access to the physically available RAM ( memory ), so if Safari goes crazy due to some websites, it can occupy every ressource in Mac OSX so bad that the rest of the OS becomes unresponsive. Because 64bit Browser will also need 64bit plugins, and as we all know that flash on its own is itself ressource intense, you might imagine what happens if such "webprocesses" have embedded flash movies in them ..
So, momentary tragically this mix of 64bit computing and the security sandboxing model leads to all sort of issues, including memory leaks and hangs ( not only in Safari , but it is a number one source for that ) .
You can limit the available memory, this cures some issues = run Safari in 32bit mode. This will also force the flash plugin to 32bit mode, making it more ressource friendly ( to some degree at least ) .
Reveal Safari in your application folder, right click "get info" and checkmark "run in 32bit compatibility mode".
To avoid having the flash plugin active all the time ( or to play videos in Quicktime ) , I recommend the safari extension "click to flash" ( free ) installable via safari's Settings Menu. Only movies that you want to see will then play ( after you click them, as the name implies ) - this limits memory usage of Safari, too.
A befriended developer who has already the final version of 10.7.2 update swears that it cures virtually all existing Lion and Safari issues. It should be available on or before October 12 together with iCloud and iOS5 and the new iTunes . Apple reveled oct 12 as the introduction date for their new line of apps and iCloud, and because 10.7.2 integrates all these needed stuff for it to work, it must come out the very same day or even before. ( this is no "Speculation" which is "forbidden to discuss here" -- it's a simple matter of fact , watch the last keynote held by Apple CEO Cook where they introduce iphone4s - it has all the infos )
So. only 2 days left maximum, then we all be happy I guess

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion?

How do I download Safari for Mountain Lion? It's not in the App Store, it is nowhere on the Apple website . . . OK, so I guess it is supposed to be part of Mountain Lion, but I am running Mountain Lion and whatever version of Safari I ended up with would not even run at all . . . so I trashed it (or at least what part of it I was allowed to trash) and though reinstalling it would be a good idea . . . but I can't find one to reinstall. The latest version I can find is for Leopard, and of course that won't run.
Not to mention that since getting Mt Lion, iPhoto won't run . . . it produces an error message saying I need to check with the developer to make sure it runs with this version of OS X! So I wonder who the developer of iPhoto is, who produces software that is incompatible with Mt Lion???
And even in submitting this there is no option to tag it for any OS later than 10.7.4!!

Since Safari is crashing, post a crash report... reinstalling the OS X rarely helps a browser crash issue.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
Please include the "binary images" section...

Safari 6 on Lion slow

I've installed Safari 6 on Lion (work machine so I cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion just yet)
Now Safari Web Content constantly and consistently pegs my processor at 60-98%
Add in the Safari process itself using 5-10% and Safari 6 is rendering my computer borderline unusable. (unless I close Safari, of course)
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling Flash, I have tried turning off all extensions, I have tried resetting Safari, quitting, restarting it, restarting my computer.
This issue happens if I have 1 or 10 pages open, (though the % goes up with more pages)
Closing Gmail/Google Reader mitigates it slightly and bring is down to a steady 50-60% between the two processes.
What is going on?
Safari 6 on Mountain Lion on a similar iMac at home is flawless.
This is extremely irritating.
iMac 2.5Ghz Core i5
Lion 10.7.4 (COmbo updater installed)
8GB RAM

Start up in Safe Mode
That deletes system caches that may help. Keep in mind, a Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
Then try Safari.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then selct the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug-ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference then follow the troubleshooting help here.

Issues with Lion, anyone having the same ones?

I'm having several of issues with Lion (mostly with Safari).   Wondering if anyone else has these problems. I'm hoping/assuming these will be bugs that Apple will fix with a software update?   Or if therres any fix for them?
1.   Zoom while in Safari, the 2 finger pinch and zoom feature stops working after a while usually. I used to like the zoom in snow leopard where on a webpage it would zoom you in while keeping the page contents within the screen. You can still accomplish this by doing the command + shortcut. But I really liked the touchpad feature. I don't mind the way the zoom works on safari (zooming in wihtout keeping the page in the screen).   But my problem is it stops working after a certain amount of time.
2. Safari freezing up.   Yes, my safari is freezing and I'm needing to force quit every now and then.   Never really had that problem with snow leopard.
3. Swiping to go to my desktop.   When I try to 4 finger swipe to get to my desktop or something (going to the left always), My launchpad keeps coming up. Thats HORRIBLY annoying.   I have to go to my icons and manually turn launchpad off.    This might be my most annoying problem.
4. Getting mission control up with the four fingers swiping up usually takes 2 or 3 swipes,   and also when I'm in mission control and I want to go to something on my desktop (if I have 2 or 3 things open while having mail and safari on full screen), it takes 2 or 3 clicks to select whatever I want to go to.
Overall I really DO like lion. Just don't like those glitches Ive seen so far.   Anyone having the same problems?

Yes! I see the same! Extremely annoying. And as long as the pinch-zoom works, it's very unstable, and sometimes seems to freeze Safari with a "fuzzy" picture. It doesn't really freeze it, though, I can still use otheropen tabs, and usually a double-tap zoom "wakes" the "frozen tab".

Reinstalling Safari in Mountain Lion

I can't find how to reinstall Safari for Mountain Lion. The App Store is confusing as all get-out and I can't find any download link on the Safari page, just a bunch of blurbs telling me how great it is. Apparently the version I have has developed dementia and I would like to reinstall it. Can someone give me a clue about how to do this? Thanks. :-)

It's best to describe the problem, rather than your conclusion as to how it should be solved. Reinstalling is almost certainly not the solution.

System Preferences and Safari issues

Hi I have a very concerning issue with system preferences and a smaller issue with Safari (7.0). When I open system preferences and navigate to the "internet accounts" page and try to remove an account or click the "Advanced" button, nothing happens. I see a faint flicker of the system prefs window but nothing changes. Another example is when I click on the "networks" page and try and open the "Advanced" window, nothing happens. I also can't sign out of iCloud or view my iCloud account information the buttons seem to do nothing. I've already tried installing mavericks again, deleting appropriate plists, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repairing the disk and repairing disk permissions to no avail and I really need to find a solution. If this helps, the guest account does not have any issues described above. The safari issue is minor but when Safari opens, there is a gray box around the page title in the top bar of safari no matter what webpage im on. I have tried resetting safari, deleting caches and extensions but nothing works. I really appreciate any help with these issues.
Here is an example of the Safari issue.

Do you have the installer DVD? If you do:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the OS X Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Crossword will not open in Safari 5.1 (Lion)

I cannot get the Globe and Mail Cryptic Crossword to run in Safari after installing Lion. I have installed the Runtime Java as instructed.
Anyone having the same problem? Any one have a solution?

Seem to have got it going.
Did an appzapp on adobe air & iPlayer desktop.
Reloaded both and got the 'prompt' on dowload choices.
Downloaded episode of The Killing, (very good if you haven't watched it!) in 15 mins.
What annoys me about the BBC is if you fill out a form to advise on a problem, by the time you get to the end of the form you get a reply that your session has timed out, just as you're about to send it!

Youtube and Safari Issues on iPad/Apple devices.

For the last few days I have had a problem with all my apple devices. For some reason Youtube videos will not play, I keep getting the message "This video is currently unavailable" when I try to play any video. This only happens on Youtube through Safari, the app on my 3gs works fine but the app is not for iPad. Another problem that I get only on my iPad is that Safari is acting all weird. When I try to click on a link nothing happens and when I press the back button it goes back 2 or more pages instead of the previous page like its supposed to. Steps I've tried to resolve the problem:
Force close the apps.
Force restart the iPad/All apple devices.
Reset all settings.
Restore iPad through iTunes.
None of the above steps have worked for me and I just don't know what to do. This only happens through wifi but I am certain their is nothing wrong with my wifi as my android devices and my laptop/desktop computer work fine when trying to view youtube videos. As I mentioned this is happening on all Apple devices which include:
iPad 2
iPhone 3gs
iPhone 5
iPod touch 4th gen.
The weird safari issue is only occurring on my iPad.
Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple Safari issues

I've been experiencing a few issues lately but not sure they're related.
1. I receive emails that will not always display the pictures (sometimes they're viewable). Instead, I get the blue box with a question mark. However I can view the same email without issue using my iPhone and iPad, or even from a different email account (I forwarded the email to another one of my accounts to narrow down if it's an email issue, Safari issue or something else).
2. Safari freezes at some point almost everyday and I get the spinning ball. Most of the time, I can't click on other applications so I'm forced to perform a Force Quit. I haven't noticed a pattern such as specific sites, adobe related, etc. It's very frustrating.
3. The overall system performance is slower than it used to be. Sites that used to come up quickly will now sit and wait.
I cleared my cache, and removed a webpageicons.db file based on suggestions in this forum but haven't noticed any changes.
Anyone have any input about my issues?
Thank you!

Hi,
The overall system performance is slower than it used to be. Sites that used to come up quickly will now sit and wait.
Check the startup disk for problems, it may need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your startup disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

Why does safari crash after lion upgrade

Right or control click the Safari app in the Applications folder then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel, look for the Safari version number. If it's prior to Safari 6, updating to Safari 6 may help.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then 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.
If you already have Safari 6 installed, post a crash report.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply including the, "binary images" sesction.
f the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Issues with Lion recognizing keyboard and mouse functions

Hello everyone,
I have read that there were issues with Lion so I waited for months before I upgraded hoping that there would be enough complaints to warrant a fix from the tech lords. I decided to finally upgrade and the issues with incompatible software came to fruition. Fortunately I don't need to upgrade anytime soon but here's my real issue. I have a logitech mouse and keyboard and Lion won't recognize the keyboard, even with product upgrade. Also, the right click button is not functioning the way it should. I can no longer right click and copy and paster anymore. Being a long time mac head from the 80s I know there are always issues but I have never experienced this many. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same setup with the apple BT keyboard and the V270 mouse. I also work with the lid closed and with an external monitor (I bet that you are also using airport)! Both devices seem to intermittently loose connection, and the mouse cursor doesn't track very well. Looking through postings it seems that airport interferes with BT, and the behavior I've seen seems to support this. I stopped using the mouse because I couldn't get it to work adequately. I'v also tried using BT headphones (Motorola HT820) which at best the sound drops out intermittently, and at worse crashes OS X. I'm thinking that BT on the Macbook Pro just marginally works... I'd be curious if you ever had any success with your setup!

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari, cache and also changed my Yahoo password but problem is still there.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

Compatibility issues in Lion

I've heard quite a few people saying that there a compatibility issues with Microsoft office in Lion. How bad are they? I'm a student so Office is fairly essential, yet i would love to upgrade.

I am saying that for what I have normally used Office for Mac 2008 Suite for I have not had any problems with using it on Lion.
However, here is a link to what Microsoft has acknowledge as some of the issues that may exist:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2586538
I haven't verified all the issues that they are claiming on my own Office for Mac 2008 Suite, but I can tell you that I personally haven't run into an issue that prevented me to work with the applications. Regardless, Microsoft is aware that their Office for Mac Suites are having issues within Lion, so they will be fixing them. Again, even looking at the legitimate reported possible issues that you may have it is looking like the biggest issues are or can come from using Excell, but I never noticed any.
I would either just wait until you know the reported issues are fixed, or go ahead and update to Lion and see for yourself what works or doesn't work for your type of use. If nothing else I would try iWork out and see how you like that, as that is what I am personally using as my main office suite.
