Safari no longer responding because of script message on the webpage

This just started this morning but I'm getting this message on every site, including apple.com, that I go to.  Is anyone aware of a fix?  Im running safari 5.0.6 and osx 10.5.8.
Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage “Start New Discussion : Apple Support Communities” (https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/question-post!input.jspa?containe rType=14&container=2131&fromWidget=true&question=Safari%20no%20longer%20respondi ng%20because%20of%20script%20message%20on%20the%20webpage). Do you want to stop running the script, or let it continue?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
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 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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Friend,
    When you set a Gmail account you just need to enter your email account and password. It is impossible you enter the right information but it says "wrong". Double check it.
    If you mentioned "iPhone ID" as your Apple ID, you can find it going to Settings>> iCloud. Check if you already sign in to. If not, sign in with your Apple ID and password. If you haven't created one, you can do it there.

  • I'm trying to access an uncompleted app. on a gov't website using Safari 5.1. I receive a message saying the browser is incompatible with the website. It has been suggested that use Safari 5.0 instead. Must I delete 5.1 first, or can I have both browsers

    I'm trying to access an uncompleted app. on a gov't website using Safari5.1 I receive a message saying the browser is incompatible. I have been advised to use Safari 5.0. Must I delete 5.1 or can I use both browsers on my Mac.

    As above, there is more to Safari than just the App, however I dont like the changes in 5.1, so restored the 5.0 version of just the App and it functions just like it used to
    It might not work for you, and it can just be deleted if it doesn't, not sure how easy it is without time machine
    go into Finder and Applications folder
    enter time machine (it will default to app folder)
    find a date that you had 5.0
    click to restore it (Do Not restore into original location, restore it to desktop to test it)
    When this has been done, run Safari from your desktop and see if it fixes your issue
    I have been using this version done like this for a couple of weeks and it is fine, I did copy it to the Application\Utitlities folder along with some other older software I have, then made this one the version on my dock
    If it doesn't make any difference just delete Safari.app from your desktop

  • Lately, when I get the "Unresponsive Script" message, Neither the cancel nor the complete script button will work and Firefox hangs so I have to Force Quit Firefox. What is wrong?

    Here is the link below the message about the unresponsive script:
    Script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml:554
    Neither of the buttons will work "Stop Script" or "Continue" and since Firefox is frozen or just hanging, I have to Force Quit. Today I was trying to print off a confirmation for a convention and every time I was ready to print, the Unresponsive Script would show up and freeze the printing too. After 4 times, I finally made a Grab Shot of it to print.

    ive also repaired disk permissions using disk utility and disk warrior.

  • Why all sudden I get "Safari is no longer responding because of a script on the webpage  Do you want to stop running the script, or let it continue"

    I havent uploaded, downloaded, installed, deleted anything new. I've followed any online forums to empty safari history, temp cache, safari cookies, rebooted, still the message comes up ever 3rd page I visit, or even just typing this out, it comes up after a typed line and half? Others on the net have had to reinstall or reformat their macbook. Seriously hoping I dont have to as its such a pain to reinstall exactly way I have it now.
    Suggestions? Other than throwing it off a bridge like i want to right now? thanks in advance
    Btw, im on mac os x 10.5.8 however when i go to update, says theres nothing new to update. Theres a whole drop down list of other versions, is that a bad thing?

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari then from the drop down menu select Preferences.
    Select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Enable JavaScript
    Quit then relaunch Safari. If you don't see the script dialog again, reselect the JavaScript box in Preferences.

  • Why is bottom 1/3 of Firefox open tab screen "blocked" while composing long email in Hotmail, unless I reload the webpage or change to Full Screen mode?

    As a Hotmail email that is being composed gets longer and longer, the text suddenly disappears (behind what acts like a pop-up that is blocking the lower 1/3 of my compose window). Experimenting on 3 July I discovered that "Reloading" the compose screen overcame this problem. Also selecting "Full Screen".
    (IE does NOT have this problem.) By "Compose" I mean composing a new message, replying or forwarding an existing message (with my comments being added before). The full message (that was saved as DRAFT or previously sent) can be seen, but just going into a "compose" mode causes the bottom of the message to "disappear". The right-hand scroll bar also disappears behind the - you can see whereas

    Sorry "dmcritchie", I do not understand your solution, especially
    " Gear(tools) > Options > more Options> Reading Pane options >"
    since this does not match the Tools > Options under the Firefox window.
    (Tools > Options shows a "Gear" symbol labeled "Advanced"; I'm running XP on a Dell Inspiron).
    I don't ever remember configuring a "Quick Viewing" window (I prefer to open each message manually or delete it unopened), or configuring Read Panes - unless if was a default setting in Firefox 5. (Come to think of it, Firefox 5 became available early last month and that's about when I started noticing this issue. Luckily I don't recall it happening with Yahoo email accounts which I use more frequently, or even gmail ones.)
    Thanks for the tip: "..to view a message without it activating anything bad, right click on the message or envelope and choose "View message source" .." - This right-click option is new to me - and I can see not only the sender but also the content. (Is it totally safe, since one can see the content without physically opening it?)

  • I can't access Safari any longer. Each time I click on icon it states "not a valid address". Deleted Safari and reloaded it, but that didn't help. The same message keeps coming back, "not a valid address". Any ideas?

    I can't access Safari any longer. Each time I click on the icon, it states that "the address is not valid".
    I've even deleted the Safari and downloaded it again, but the same message persists. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

    address bar wasn't accessible, so I did the Toolbar drag back. The invalid address is set as home page in Safari - Preferences - General.
    Tried opening safari again holding the shift key, but made no difference Andy.
    Can I just type in a new address in "home page in Safari - Preferences - General"?

  • Push button responds with spoken message, pronouncing the name of the button... Instead of opening the underlying screen of app!

    Dear all,
    My iPhone 4 doesn't work as it should. If I touch any button it responds with a spoken message, pronouncing the name of the button... Instead of opening the underlying screen of app! Bug in the OS?

    No, bug in the user, who enabled VoiceOver in Accessibility settings. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3577

  • I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!

    I have upgraded to Yosemite and also updated the iPhoto application to version 9.6. I am no longer able to send a photo from iPhoto via email. I get an error message saying the server is not responding. But, when using the same server in Mail, I can attach the photo and send it. My wife is using the older version of iPhoto and it works fine.
    I have checked the settings for the outgoing server, etc. and the Mail settings match those in iPhoto.
    Could this be due to either the Yosemite upgrade or the iPhoto upgrade?

    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Firefox hangs with a "Script not responding" error message; in the meantime there are more and more flashplayer instances running

    Recently I receive errors from Firefox at sites that were working fine before, always the same: a script is not responding, and I can wait, debug or stop. Waiting doesn't help (therefore pointless to change the 'dom.max_script_run_time' setting in the config); and also pointless to debug because the problem is not with the script. "Stop" eventually gets firefox to work, until the next error message which comes very soon.
    I tried to reinstall both Firefox and Flashplayer, even manually wiped the traces from the user profile and program files. They are the latest 35.0.1 and 16.0.0.305 available now.
    => In the meantime, there are reproducing instances of flash players are spawned and running. They stay running even after firefox is closed or terminated.
    => if I disable the flash player plugin everything's fine except of course flash is not working. If I re-enable it, the problem starts over.
    OS is Windows 8.1

    Retard, (I know that sounds hilarious, but I don't know your name - no offense please! )
    Like you said, if this happens only primarily on one of the many sites, it generally comes down to the type of code on that site.
    And after looking at the URL you posted, seems like that page uses a lot of external references - JS and CSS.
    Especially the last few lines:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js?vs=b1763.r38875 7"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
    Also, a couple CSS, JS references in the <head> section.
    'Display External Files' only disables showing external files - but still loads them.
    Can you try removing the external references and try working with the webpage in DW for a few minutes to see if the same problem persists? If it does, we know what was causing your issue.
    Also, run your site through W3 validator to check and resolve errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthfirst.com%2Facls-kit.html&charset =%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
