Safari opens, but then freezes

When I open safari, I am able to open to my email homepage just fine, but if I try to create a new tab, click on new emails, or type into the web bar it freezes up and the spinning ball of doom appears for about 2 minutes or more. This is not just Safari that freezes up, but my entire computer. I can't activate the dock and a couple of times the clock stopped progressing. This all started happening very recently, within the past week, and it is really getting on my nerves. Do any of you know how to fix this? Oh, also I have deleted every bit of browsing history by resetting Safari and that didn't do anything.

Go step by step to test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
      Click "Reset".

Photoshop cc opens but then freezes!

When I run Photoshop cc it opens but once open it freezes. This is the 64bit version on Windows Vusta proffesional. I can not even quit out of it using the task manager so I have to re-start. All the other cc applications seem to be fine it is just Photoshop. The old version of Photoshop cs5 also seems to be working fine. Any ideas would be welcome. I tried the resetting mt preferences in CC by signing out and back in but this did not solve the problem.

I had my CS3 freezing this morning on startup.
What helped me was restarting Photoshop with the internet cable pulled out.
Apperently it was freezing on the registerscreen, and by removing the internet cable I surpassed that screen, to see another screen.
after that i could start it up again with the internet cable plugged in again.

Ichat opens but then freezes

HELP! Last week my iChat suddenly froze. I took it off the dock and have tried opening it repeatedly. It opens without problem to the Welcome to iChat AV window. Then when I try to log in the little color wheel just spins and spins and spins. I'm using OS 10.4.11.

Go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete all the com.apple.ichat items.
Restart iChat

Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

Safari tries repeatedly to open a page. The page partially opens but then Safari reports that there's something wrong with page and I get an error message. This is happening at too many web sites for one site to be having issues.

I have a similar problem, Safari cannot load a complet page. It stalls e.g. ["38 of 42"]. sometimes it will complete loading after a long wait. just as often it will never complete the page,
The same thing happens in chrome and firefox but safari on my iPad works just fine.
I have the latest version of everything
I assume there is a system problem but cleaning up permissions does not help

Hi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

Safari opens but crashes when loading any page

I recently upgraded to Safari 6.0 (7536.25) on Lion 10.7.4. Now Safari opens but crashes as soon as I try to load a page. I've tried most of the fixes that I could find in the recent posts:
different pages to be sure it isn't page specific
disabled all extensions
renamed the extension folder so it wouldn't be accessible (even though all were disabled)I noticed that Safari recreated the folder still with all extensions disabled but just in case I clicked the Off switch at the top of the Extension list
renamed cache.db to get a new one
renamed webpageicons.db
Reinstalled Safari from the link in one of the forum posts
Please help!

IPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive.

iPhoto opens but then the spinning rainbow wheel appears and I can't do anything. I have opend iPhoto with the Option key pressed and rebuilt the library and it still happens. I want to at least access my photos and copy them to an external drive. Anyone have ideas on how to get to them?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Or you may try to Move the folder or the Other options

Hold the shift key upon boot, that will disable any boot loading third party kernel extension files.
Once you get in:
1: backup your user file folders to a external storage drive
2: go around and update all your third party software everywhere, including right clicking on third party system preference panes and removing them if necessary
3: any third party software that can't be updated, consider removing.
4: Look in your Console log files for "kernal protection" type messages to get a clue what's causing your problems.
Read about Gray, White and Blue, Kernel Panics here, they are usually always caused by third party software incompatibilities, but not always.

My iphoto is opening but then it has that gray spinning wheel and nothing ever changes?

so my iphoto opens, but then the gray wheel just keeps spinning and the rest of the application never loads. would it b best to just reistall iphoto?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Safari will open but then nothing!

Hi,
I went to the apple store because of a problem with the fans coming on really loud and they re installed my operating system using a few cds in the store.
I came home and everything seemed fine untill I tried to open safari. It opens but none of my bookmark menus are there and when I try to type an address into the window, it lets me type but then does nothing!
Then when I try to go to the Toolbar at the top of my computer it will not let me click anything! It is very strange. I downloaded firefox and am currently using that, however I really want to figure this out!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any other place this folder could be?
•Click on the HD is it there ? Now I think about it that is where Previous System folder should be, been a little while since i did one.
Also I read your next post and the links and it said safari might now work after an archive and install and you must re install the old version? How do I do that?
I do not think they say the old version rather update to the lastest ( most recent version for your os). that is correct version os on your spex ->Mac OS X (10.3.5) look under Blue apple about this mac to make sure
What version is the Blank page Safari, when launched under-> Safari
About safari:
Go to the Blue apple -> Software update and run that to see what is available for your os now. Are there any safari updates.
Run permissions repair before & after uppdates with the Disk Utility do you know how to do that ? Look at Gulliver knowledge base article, I linked to you.
You are using Firefox now & have your bookmarks good they are not lost!!
•Again look for "previous system folder" in HD
•What version is your blank Safari?
•What is avaliable to download from the software updater
•Read Gullivers Kbase article, before you update.
Hope this helps
