Safari: Only works properly after reset. Why?

I am using Safari Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) on iMac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
When I open Safari the homepage loads but if I try to click on ANY link or search in the address bar the spinning colour wheel (of doom) appears and will remain indefinitely. My only option is to FORCE QUIT. However if I open Safari and immediately RESET SAFARI via Safari Menu, it works fine and I am able to click and browse as normal.
I have deleted the entire app using APP CLEANER, downloaded and reinstalled it but the problem remains. Any help would be very much appreciated.

@Eric I am reluctant to try the DISK UTILITY as I have no idea what to do nor do I have the CD with me at this present time. Is this a common way to fix problems such as this?
@Juan No problem with Chrome, I don't have firefox.

  • SAFARI NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE

    WHEN I GO TO A PAGE IN SAFARI, I HOLDS TRYING TO FIND THE PAGE. A FEW MOMENTS LATER IT STATES THAT I'M NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET (which I am). WHEN I REFRESH THE PAGE, IT IMMEDIATELY OPENS UP. THIS STARTED TWO DAYS AGO RIGHT AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR SAFARI. SOMETHING VERY BUGGY HERE. HELP

    User "Bee" gave this solution. I tried it and worked for me, although Safari is loading very slowly.
    Good luck!
    See if you have any of the following files. Just follow the path.
    HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    If you do, trash them and restart Safari.

  • Re: Broadband only works properly after 2am

    yep greedy bt sell more bandwidth than they actually have. leaving us like me
    this is my 22:00 speed
     Download speedachieved during the test was - 1.07 Mbps <-- THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO BT (what a joke) i pay for 8mb but now get 1mb
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :8.1 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 7 Mbps
    11pm i will probably be back up to 6mb but i race online with my mates at 7pm to 10pm well i use to and is why i declared war on BT
    SLOW SLOW BT CONGESTED EXCHANGE THAT I SEEM STUCK WITH HOWEVER AT PEEK TIMES WHEN I HIT A VERY SLOW 1MB ON MY BT LAND LINE THAT COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG I CAN JUST DISCONNECT FROM IT AND CONNECT TO NEXT DOORS VIRGIN MEDIA UNSECURED D-LINK ROUTER AND GET A 2.6 CONNECTION. HOW ???????????????????? AND WHY????????????????? IF ITS CONGESTED HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE OR DO VIRGIN PAY BT A **bleep** LOAD OF MONEY.

    When i moved into my home last year May i had 7.8mb and was paying for 8mb so i was a happy chappy, But they have just finished building 35 new homes in my village, As them homes sold, my broadband was getting slower and slower.
    I never noticed the decrease in speed until other gamers complained that i lagged due to slow broadband so i did some speed test and was horrified to see such low figures. i can't race in simulator league rooms now due to this slow bt speed.
    BT say the acceptable rate for my line is 0.6 to 7.15.
    0.6mb would be a 60k max download rate and you would get that or very near to it with a 512k connection that would cost you a lot cheaper than a 8mb connection.
    Why end up like me and pay for 8mb when your only get 2mb. you may as well just get their 2mb package.
    BT are happy with their service to you as long as you are getting over 0.6 even if your paying for 8.0mb
    Here are my bt test results for tonight.
    No need to reply to this post john45 or imjolly or any other pro BT poster.

  • Broadband only works properly after 2am

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble with my broadband again.
    i cannot play online games until about 2am because of latency/lag/delay
    also bt sport keeps buffering and disconnecting
    i thought this was fixed last time we had an engineer to switch the lines but its come back again
    another thing ive noticed the broadband sometimes disconects when the phone rings
    and ive never had a connection over 11 days.
    i really want this sorted as FTTC is coming in may and it will surely effect that too?
    thanks in advance

    Yes sorry my mistake!
    I have tried this and yes it does still disconnect but its not everytime it seems completely random ive also used a wired phone
    I had an engineer a few months back and it fixed the problem for a week or so
    he moved us onto a different line
    its like something seems to build up and gradually get worse

  • ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

    iTunes is not working properly after the newest update...  It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store.  Anyone have a solution or an explanation?  I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works.  Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed.  After that it all went to crap.  Thanks, Randy...

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

  • Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

    Hi,
    Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
    I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Franco.

    I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
    Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

    My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

    Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

    Are you asking if you can install Mavericks on a machine running Snow Leopard?
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
