Safari not working with Yosemite- incompatible with google search too

Ever since I upgraded my macbook pro, Safari has been slow.  In the past 2 days, it's more than slow - it's impossible.  I am able to get to pages I have bookmarked or get to links in email documents - but every time I try to do a search using the search bar in Safari, it hangs.  Sometimes I get a list of possible websites (after a few minutes) but if I click on any of those, Safari just hangs there and won't go.  I even had to use Chrome in order to generate this question in the discussion groups. Does anyone have any suggestions other than using an alternate browser.   Is it possible that google and Safari on Yosemite are incompatible? I did try using the "Develop" menubar option and chose DuckDuckgo as the search tool and it worked a bit better.
This is now the 2nd big issue I've had with Yosemite -- it totally would not work with my Adobe Photoshop Elements program -- I spent hours on the Adobe forums and discovered that 100s of others were also having issues.  It turned out to be a problem with Yosemite and the trackpad.  Adobe finally came up with a temporary plugin that allows Elements (and other Adobe programs) to run.
Suggesions on Safari other than ditching it and using Chrome?

Try a Safari reset.
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • Safari not working on iPad 2 with latest updates

    The safari is not working on my ipad 2.  It has all the latest updates.  When I try to go to an internet site it gives me an error message, "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server."  My other mobile devices are working.  I have closed all of the inactive apps, reset the wifi and all of the other things that have been previously suggested, but still not working.

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Do not reset your router. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Hotmail in Safari not working since Yosemite was downloaded

    Good morning.
    I installed Yosemite (version 10.10.2) yesterday on my imac and since then cannot open Hotmail in Safari (everything freezes or once I got the message 'Safari can't find server').
    I was normally login in to hotmail using dub125.mail.live.com
    I have already cleared my search history. And one of the Apple chat help persons told me to do a safe reboot, which did not change anything.
    Any idea what I should do?
    Many thanks!

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

    How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
    You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

    If you dont connect your device to the computer and

    after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
    after that try again

  • Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8

    Hi
    In my app Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8. Does any one know soluton for this ?

    Hi,
    There's no question that TextFields and TextAreas weren't working in our case, likely because we have a deep displaylist with a variety of object types. Presumably, AIR has changed how it looks through the displaylist for objects that need keyboard, and perhaps we have an object type somewhere in the hierarchy that AIR no longer recurses. It's definitely something that changed, though.
    It's no picnic to put together a sample app, I can't afford that time when I have a solution. But the symptom was very clear, a textbox would open, and the cursor would just blink with no way of interacting with it.
    I'm happy using StageText directly, because it's a more direct way to interact with the OS and gives more control.
    It also solves a bug in AIR that I haven't reported yet, but is as follows. Rarely, when you move the container of a TextField of TextArea after it has been created, AIR will crash and freeze iOS devices. It doesn't happen on Android or desktop, but with a user-base of about 100,000 of our app, we've had it reported maybe 50 times. One of our dialogs sometimes needs to reposition the elements, which is done animated. During this, AIR will crash about 0.01% of the time. We tried only creating the TextArea, but not activating it or even having it visible, but even an invisible TextArea will crash, presumably because AIR moves the internal StageText overlay around as well, and this confuses iOS after a while during the animation.
    By using StageText directly, I finally also have a way to get rid of this bug, because I simply don't activate StageText until the object has already been positioned. Prior to that, it isn't even an editable text field, it's a label like anything else. So I'm happy I did this solution.
    Let's just leave this thread as a record if someone else has the same problem. I'm quite sure it's because of our very complicated display list, and AIR having changed how it scans the displaylist for objects that need keyboard.
    Best,
    Per

    I have ipad 2. Safari stopped working. Screen appears with light gray cover and is frozen. Some websites show errors when debug is on.
    But how actually can I debug or fix it? Thank you.

    Here are a couple suggestions:
    1.  Go into Settings > Safari and Clear Cookies Clear Cache
    2.  Fully close Safari:  from your home screen, double tap your home button and the most recently used Apps will show up.  Hold your finger on the Safari App until all Apps start jiggling.  You'll see a minus sign on the upper left side of Safari.  Touch the minus and Safari will fully close.  Touch your home button again to stop apps from jiggline, then touch your home button again to return to your home page.
    3.  Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart, but no data or settings will be lost.
    After iPad comes back up, try Safari again, and you should be good to go.

  • HT201412 Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.

    Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

    If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Scan to network folder will not work for Yosemite

    Scan to network folder, which is supposed to allow the unit to scan and save to a shared directory on a remote computer, does not work in Yosemite,  though it will work on Macs sporting earlier OS on same network. 
    HP personnel have indicated that HP does not support Apple Mavericks. One can only assume then that it will not work on Yosemite either
    Yet these units are still being sold to be used with Apple OSX.
    Please resolve HP's position.  If these units will not function properly under Mavericks and Yosemite, please explicitly say so.  The scan to network feature should not have anything to do with any OS issue, and it is much more likely that the issue is faulty HP firmware.
    If these units are supposed to fully function under Mavericks and Yosemite,  please provide substantive resolution of the many many problems users have experienced.
    The Scan to Network feature is what makes using these units viable as scanners. The fact that this works poorly at best, and not at all on any recent Apple OS, is simple acceptable

    IT IS OFFICIAL
    HP Case Manager has indicated that HP is abandoning Scan to Network Folder starting with Yosemite as OS security constraints present issues with using its current transport.
    Of course this took an hour of double talk and fiddling about before the admission was forthcoming...
    Shall we count the days until that information actually shows up in the forums?

  • Compressor 3.0.5 not working in Yosemite.  Fixes?

    Compressor 3.0.5. does not work in Yosemite 10.10.1. 
    I receive an "Unable to submit to queue.  Please restart your computer or verify your Compressor installation is correct." error message.
    I'm also currently unable to download the newest version of Compressor 4.1.3, as my video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) in my mid-2007 iMac prevents me from downloading it.
    Does anyone have any similar experiences with this?  Suggestions?  Fixes?

    3.5 may work, but the preference panel doesn't - which makes the setting up of clusters a real PIA - need to learn terminal setups.
    My recommendation is if you want to run compressor on 10.10, spend the few bucks to run C4.
