Safari not responding at times

For the last two days Safari on my IMac has been touch and go. Sometimes it will load pages quickly and then either respond very slowly or not at all with the dreaded spinning beach ball. I did a reset and cleared the cache but still the same. I tried my MacBook Pro and found it to be having the same issues. Its very sporadic. When I run Firefox I have no issues. I prefer Safari but if I can't find a solution I will be making Firefox my default.
Both computers are running OS 10.8.2 and Safari is 6.0.2
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks
Frank

This kind of problem takes patience to resolve.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server, so be prepared to restore the previous settings if that happens.

SAP Router - Host did not respond 8 times

Guys,
I'm able to test OSS connection successfully in SM59. But in service connections, whenever i open connections, the connection failing to open with the "Host did not respond 8 times " error before changing to Cancel. Any suggestions please?

There was a little glitch in the saprouttab file, which i fixed. But interesting to note that it didn't clear the error. I keep having the same error, but SAP was able to connect inspite of that. As i read elsewhere, often times this error is misleading. anyway, thanks.

Hello.
Today I got the opportunity to work with a Muse user with the same issue after performing the troubleshooting steps in the post above we decided to contact the host.
Later i came to know that host took Muse user's IP and they were able to unblock it and muse started connecting to FTP host.
I another scenario Host suggested Muse user to add :21 to the FTP address and then Muse was able to connect.
Eg ftp.domain.com:21
Please try the 2 suggestion above and let me know if it works.

Why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it????!!!!!!

As you give no background info nobody can possibly guess.
However, have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

Safari not responding all of a sudden please help!!

Hi,
Could someone please help me because I don't know whats going on. I've had the iphone 5 since Nov 2012 and everything has been working fine.
All of a sudden on Tueday I was on the internet when it kept saying safari not responding. My wifi icon says I am connected. The weird thing is it will let me access the internet for maybe 5mins at the most then says not responding and it will maybe be half an hour before it'll let me on again, it might only let me on back online for 2 mins.
I have cheked wi fi settings and it says I am connected. It isn't letting me access youtube either (only for 2/5 mins like safari). Everything else is working fine. I checked my router and my home pc is working fine also. I have turned it on and off and linked it to itunes online for updates but software is up to date.
Even if my wi fi would sometimes loose signal in my house or outdoors I could still use safari through the 3G, I would run a tiny bit slower but not much. I am unable to access safari through the 3G also.
I just don't have a clue what's going on and would appreciate any help anyone could offer!! Thanks for reading my long winded question lol

No worries Gail I don't mind the more the merrier lol. Thanks for joining in Ocean to help with my weird problem.
I read a post on here last night about clearing cookies and data and history so I done that but today the problem still persists. I have it ticked to except cookies from visited sites. Should I untick this and select never?
It never occured to me to change web browser, doh!! I shall try that now and see what happens? Should the browser have an impact on youtube app that comes already on iphone though as this is playing up to?
Many thanks again to you both.

What´s QTKitServer- (254). Web content for Safari (not responding)

Help Please!! Hi, my name is German, and I have a MBA 13 mid 2013. I have a doubt in according to activity monitor. Becasue there is an item in activity monitor (CPU) that is says: QTKitServer - 254. Web content for Safari (not responding) in red colour.
Do you know what is that?
Thank you very much,
Germán.

Hi,
I've also seen this Not responding QTKitServer-(xxxxx) process and i've suspected Safari Extension issue.
So i deactivated all the extensions, then reactivated one by one and i saw that the issue was ClickToPlugin (ClickToFlash also). It's occured while ClickToFlash block a Flash Advertising.
So, for now the only way is to deactivate ClickToFlash and to wait for an update from the developper.

Hope someone has solved this problem before and can give me some good advice...
Thank you very much!!!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
I just tried the site and no volume here either. I don't believe it's your browser causing the problem, but instead the web site needs to do maintenance.
Has this site worked for you in the past or is this the first time?
I just tried that site using the Firefox browser and it does not work there either.
It's not your Safari causing the problem. Not being able to read the text myself, look for a support link that you can use to contact their support area.
This is not something that anyone at Apple could help you with anyway.

Hii everyone,I am using mac os 10.8.3 and its getting not responding every time.

Hii guys ,I am using ma os 10.8.3 and my finder is getting not responding all the time ,I can hardly use the finder for 2 min and it gets jammed.after a few days vlc player,then safari and its continuing .Now i even cant open the Launch pad and the applications are not even visible to me..
I tried all the possibilities like Pram set ,repairing the disks and every sort of process i know .so please help me out with it

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. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
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?
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, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. 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, or by a peripheral device.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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?
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.

Safari not responding instantly on startup.

Has anyone else had this issue where Safari stops responding immediately after you start it up?
When I click it, the icon bounces up and down like it normally does, but as soon as it stops, that little spinning color wheel shows up, and from that point, Safari is unresponsive. A browser window doesn't even come up. I went to the Apple Store to get it fixed once, and they did it somehow, so this is the second time this has happened.
Does anyone have a better time-saving solution, or help? Thanks ahead of time.

I am having the same problem. All of a sudden Safari seemed to stop loading. I would wait 3 or 4 minutes then force quit as it said Safari was not responding. I have since done everything imaginable including debugging with the debug menu, deleting the java cache, deleting every imaginable plist,going through every imaginable file and moving it to the desktop them reinstalling, removing all plugins, resetting, emptying cache, etc....
When I log in under a different account Safari works just fine.
Finally, if I let it go more than 4 minutes it finally loads the apple start page. But on re-initiating
Has anyone made any progress on this? It is frustrating!

hi mate, this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services. as such, Nokia care points are independently run franchises, and in this case you will need to persist with Nokia Care until the issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

Firefox beta 18 "not responding" every time I load a page. This didn't occur as much with FF3.5.4.

I have tried various upgrades/updates of Firefox (4 and above). I currently have Firebox beta 18. EVERY TIME I load a page, the browser will always hang and I get "Not Responding" in the status bar. The hang time is usually more than a few minutes or I'd have to end the program through the task manager. Sometimes after the freeze, I'll get a "warning: script was unresponsive" popup and then it will freeze again (I can't even press 'stop script' or 'continue') because the popup is "not responding".
I don't seem to have this problem with FF3.5.4 (only this version has deemed compatible) however I can't view flash plugins/media or certain features of a webpage because it's not updated. Therefore I would not like to downgrade back to 3.5.4 because there's no point if I can't view half the things on a page..

If you've updated from a version as ancient as 3.5.4, then you run the risk of encountering problems. You should start with a fresh profile to ensure old preferences, data files and changes made by extensions are not interfering.
First, create a backup copy of your profile folder, just to be safe.
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
Then use the Reset Firefox feature.
* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
If the problem persists, see the following article.
* [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
Do not reinstall old versions of Firefox. They contain security vulnerabilities and shouldn't be used. Very old versions might also be unable to handle data files in your profile folder in their new formats, which can lead to all sorts of problems. And lastly, many websites require a modern browser to work properly.

Safari not responding when HTTPS connections are unavailable

I'm using a 13" MBP with 10.7.2 installed, which is setup to sync calendar, address and bookmarks with iCloud. Since last week I've constantly encounter a problem that my Safari 5.1.1 would keep crashing, and I had to delete the ~/Library/Safari/extensions folder to get it back to work.
This situation happened whenever I've switch to wireless connection. In my office we've setup a limited wireless environment that all HTTP/HTTPS connections will be redirected through a proxy. Since last week the proxy server was malfunctioned. All HTTP connections are proceeded normally, but all HTTPS connections will be suspended. I'm not sure but I suspect it's the main reason for the crashing problem.
The syndromes are:
1. When I left Safari open, unplug the ethernet, and turn-on WiFi, everythings goes on normally, until I open an HTTPS web page, for example, https://www.icloud.com. Of course that HTTPS URL will not load, since our proxy is broken; but the connection itself will NOT timeout. I've tried to leave it connecting for 10 minuntes, and it's still there.
2. The statement above may due to a glitch in our proxy server and I can understand that. But the problem is: after I tried to open an HTTPS connection, the Safari will refuse to open any other URLs, including normal HTTP connections. It will just keep "connecting". Meanwhile the FireFox and Chrome can load these HTTP pages normally.
3. If I quit Safari in this situation, Safari will not be able to re-launce: the icon will keep bumping on the dock. I have to force quit Safari and delete extensions folder, so that it can be launched again. But even after Safari re-launced, it still refused to load HTTP pages.
4. Neither reconnecting WiFi, relogin, or switching back to ethernet can fix the problem. I have to restart the whole system to get it back to normal.
It seemed to me that some Safari-related process will keep in the system after Safari is quited. And that process may keep the inactivated HTTPS connections alive in its TCP pool, and blocked all sequence connections, including the iCloud synchronization. And while I force-quit Safari, the extensions.plist file is damaged. That's the only plausible explanation to this situation.
I'm sure this situation is introduced after 10.7.2: it's not the first time our proxy server breakdown, but I've never have this problem before.

I've done some detailed test and now I can give a conclusion:
1. It's confirmed that sequence HTTPS connection will be blocked in Safari and Google Chrome after a failure HTTPS connection (due to proxy). And rebooting is the only way to recover connections.
2. My previous observation is wrong: this is NOT a system wide problem. FireFox is not affected. FireFox will return to normal and all sequence HTTPS connection can be proceeded without any problem when I reconnect to a valid network connection (i.e. ethernet), while the Safari and Google Chrome remained being blocked. And DropBox is NOT affected as well.
3. None of the solutions mentioned in other threads can solve this problem. Checking the "Auto proxy discovery" does not help. Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.revocation.plistfile does not help. Clean Keychain does not help either. I've created another account for testing.
4. It's apparently something related to some system built-in network services. Since the FireFox and DropBox both gets its' own Proxy implementation, while Safari and Google Chrome will take the system settings. It's also worth noting that the POP3-SSL connection in Mail.app is also blocked after a failure HTTPS connection.
Currently the ONLY valid solution is using FireFox instead.
