Safari Odd Behaviour help...!

Of late, Safari (3.0.4) is doing some strange things occasionally... as I type now there is no scroll bar down the right hand side which has happened on more than a few occasions, I have to quit out of Safari then go back in to make it reappear. Also, when visiting a few websites such as http://uk.gamespot.com/ the page starts loading then nothing, i'm just left with a blank screen. Anybody else know anything about these points?

I tried logging into another of my accounts and have discovered that all is well. I looks like I have some sort of corruption in my account. Now I have to find it

Odd Behaviour with DVDs on IMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz

Suddenly the Superdrive DVD/CD (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-825, Firmware DBN7) shows odd behaviour.
It still reads CDs. But when a DVD is introduced, it will start "DVD Player" automatically, but then there is no hint of the disk. Neither does it show on the desktop, nore would it play. DVD Player would not eject it, but the eject button on the keyboard would.
The DVD is ok, as it would play on my Powerbook G4 without problems.
Any idea what might be causing this? - I had just performed the "Pro update"! Thanks for your help!
iMac G5 20inch 1.8 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hve you checked to see whether a different DVD will play, Bernd?
You might want to try deleting com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from your Home/Library/Preferences folder, restarting and then seeing if it works.
Cheers

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Nokia 6233 v05.10 odd behaviour

Hello!
After thoroughly searching not only this board but the entire Internet, I found no answer to my question so I decided to register and ASK.
I need to know if any of you owners of a Nokia 6233 observed this odd behaviour of your phone - so please keep reading.
I purchased the phone 16 days ago. Being my first Nokia, I took time to exploit its every feature, therefore draining the battery quite quickly. I discharged and fully charged the battery at least 3 times in the first 3 days, without leaving it plugged-in overnight (as far as I know this is no longer necessary). The battery life time increased progressively until a maximum of three days of normal use, meaning moderate talking (under 20 minutes per day), little or no use of Java apps, camera, media players or GPRS/EDGE connection. The screen savers are off, power saver is on, sleep mode is on. Packet data connection - when needed and network mode is GSM only because I do not use 3G. All these should get me the best stand-by time possible, right? Well, they did, until...
I bought a new microSD card, 2.0 GB storage, made by SanDisk. The card works fine, I put my favorite music and video clips on it - all the stuff you do when you have enough space. Since then, the battery life decreased SUBSTANTIALLY to LESS THAN 24 HOURS. And there's more. The battery drains even if the phone is turned off, in roughly the same amount of time. I have never ever seen anything like this. Sometimes the battery is so low that the phone takes a few minutes before displaying the battery charging icon and, when started, it asks for hour/date settings.
So, I need to know if anybody else noticed battery life decrease with bigger memory card capacity, and what's to be done.

Have you tried using the in-box memory card(That came with the phone) again? There's something wrong with your phone and battery if the problem still occurs..

From Safari's menu bar top of your screen click View / Customize Toolbar.
Just drag up the default bar or as individual objects.

Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

This resolved my problem
I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case) the same thing. There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin. I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin. Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin. Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

Hello. I have an Ipad 3 and I have installed the facebook app for ipad. Though I'm online, I appear offline to my friends. And, there is no chat bar when I log in via safari! Please Help!

Hello. I have an Ipad 3 and I have installed the facebook app for ipad. Though I'm online, I appear offline to my friends. And, there is no chat bar when I log in via safari! Please Help!

I believe the Facebook App requires (or at least it did in the past) the screen to be rotated to Landscape to access/enable chat functions/enable online status (I believe at the bottom-right of the screen). You need to set your online status to available (or whatever their terminology is) to have other people see your online status and availability to chat.

Have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

I have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can't help with your Safari issue, but if you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Podcast exhibiting odd behaviour with bluetooth

Ever since updating to iOS6 / iPhone 5 i've been experiencing odd behaviour with music playback. Now that the Podcasts app is a requirement, i'm not sure if this is directly related to the Podcasts app or if it's an iOS 6 quirk.
My iPhone connects to my car's stereo head unit via bluetooth. When i start my car it automatically connects and music, phone calls, etc, are all forwarded to my car's speakers. When i would switch my car off, music would stop automatically and i'd get out of my car and go about my day.
Everything worked absolutely perfectly in iOS 5 with the 4S.
The issue now with iOS6/iP5 is that when i switch off my car and use Siri or make a phone call, after i stop using Siri or if i end my call, the Podcasts app automatically resumes playback of what ever i was listening to when i switched my car off... Essentially it blasts music at me through the internal iPhone speaker for absolutely no reason.
Here is a step by step,
1. Start car
2. Play music
3. Turn off car
4. Music automatically stops
5. (while at the office, away from my car) Use siri or make a phone call
6. When i end the call or stop using Siri, music automatically resumes via the iPhone internal speaker
Is there any way to fix this?? It's getting quite annoying to have my iPhone blast me with music in fairly inappropriate situations.

Disregard, there is a thread about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4346946?tstart=0
Can't see any way of deleting my thread unfortunately.

WebDav: some odd behaviour

I followed the tutorial at Tiger Vittles to set up one of my OS X machines to run as a webdav server. It went smoothly, and was easier than I expected, given I am not a pro or anything when it comes to computers. The amazing thing is it works. I can connect my PowerBook to it both on the local network and via the internet. The un-amazing thing, and probably expected (knowing me) is that it does not work as expected when connecting a Windows XP machine. It connects, mounts as a webfolder in Window's Network Places, however this is where the odd behaviour begins. Inside of the folder, along with the expected contents of that folder, there is a folder by the same name; open this and the contents of the folder are there, along with a folder with the same name. This can go on forever. I have searched high and low and have not been able to find a solution to this. This occurs only when connecting with Windows, otherwise with my PowerBook it works perfectly. I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Additionally the Windows machine has connected to other WebDav folders without this issue. Finally, when there is a folder in a folder of the same name I am not able to map it as a network drive. Both the machine acting as the WebDav server and the Windows machine are running the most current versions of software.

Ross

Safari v 3: odd behaviour

I've updated my PowerMac G5 to MacOsX 10.4.11 and ever since then Safari and Mail have behaved oddly on my system. Often Safari just hangs without going anywhere despite frequent resets.
I have NO third party add-ons for Safari and should note that I've applied permission fixes, ran Cocktail utilities and the problem still occurs.
My broadband link is between 3 and 5 MB (using speedtest.net) so it is not my ISP's issue.
Mail often hangs oddly and from time to time has to be force-quitted.
Any other users experiencing similar problems since this update?
I am NOT therefore going to install Mac OSX 10.4.11 on my MacBook Pro, which btw works fine.
I am using an Airport wireless network at home with a NetGear router. Firewall is enabled on the Mac and also in the router.
How do I uninstall Safari 3 which on current form is a complete dog.
Nicholas Down

This is no help, but my G4 iBook running 10.4.11 with Safari 3.0.4 is running like a one legged horse in treacle. Same issues - interestingly one of the sites I have loads of issues with is the apple site, for example trying to log into the uk apple store if I've cleared the cache - it will not recognise the server. There are loads of posts about this on the discussions board, but not a jot of assistance with the actual problem. Must be like the iWeb update (1.0.1), it'll be sorted once they figure it out!
The stock response is download Mozilla Firefox, which isn't quite as good as Safari (my opinion). The problem I am having is that MF is doing exactly the same thing, which I don't understand. I haven't got any third party utilites running either.

Help: PB G4 1.6 17" odd behaviour

Ever since I accidentally poured water on it last year, my G4 1.6 17" PowerBook started having this very odd behavior.
At the beginning, I thought it's dead. About 6 months after the accident, one day I casually turned it on and it started normally. However, after playing with it for a few hours, it just suddenly freezes.
I tried to reboot it by pressing the "power" button, what I got just the "booting" sound with some optical drive noise, then nothing, the screen stays black. and there's nothing I could do to get it boot into the system.
I pulled the AC adapter and left it for a few days, then it rebooted normally into the system. However, after a few hours play, it freezes again.
I have to wait for another few days to start another cycle.
I really don't understand what has caused this odd behavior.
Can someone help me?

When you poured water on your Powerbook, you most likely caused an issue with the logic board. One thing you might do is to use the original OS X disk that came with the system and run the Apple Hardware Test, to see if it points out any obvious hardware issues (Insert DVD, reboot holding alt key down, choose AHT, and choose extended test when prompted). Or, if you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing.
