Safari share button for twitter freezes browser

Occasionally, while using the Share Button in Safari to post something on Twitter, I encounter the colorful spinning wheel/icon, causing Safari to freeze. I cannot stop the process, and any open browser tabs become inaccessible. The entire browser window shows a transparent gray color overlay, and I end up having to "Force Quit" on Safari.
As burdensome as this seems, the Share popup window remains persistently visible along with the colorful spinning wheel/icon. So, I end up having to restart my computer...
I'm using an iMac w/ OS X 10.8.4 with the most recent version of Safari.
Any tips to avert this problem, shortcuts to terminate the freeze without having to restart my computer, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for the last few weeks. Before then, it was fine. now it freezes almost every time I try ot share a link via Twitter using the 'Share' button. I have tried removing the cache file as suggested but it hasn't helped unfortunately.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I have tried deleting and reinstating my Twitter account in System Preference but no change.
I'm not sure if it's a factor but I have noticed that the problem could be related to the drop down list of Twitter handles that pops up when you type @ in the message. I've noticed that if the handle I want is in the drop-down list and I select it from the list, the message can be sent. But if the handle I want doesn't appear in the list and I type it instead, that is when it freezes. I am certain I am typing the correct Twitter address. As I say, not sure if that is related ot the problem.
All suggestions gratefully received
Paul

Where is Safari "share" button for tweet, mail, print on IOS7?

Updated to IOS7 yesterday. Has the "share" button for tweeting, emailing and printing of web pages been eliminated? I've searched high and low. Only see a bookmark tab, and Apple, Disney, ESPN and. Yahoo.

There should be an icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a quare box with an arrow pointing up out of the box. This is the new icon for Share.
If it is not there open Safari, tap the tabs icon bottom right of screen, it looks like two overlapping squares, close all the tabs that you may have open by tapping the x in the upper left hand corner of each tab. Then try killing all apps by double tapping the home button to open multitasking, swipe up on all the pages that are visible.
Then restart your phone, hold both Home and Power buttons down until the Apple logo appears and wait for it to restart.
If this process doesn't work you can try resetting all settings. Settings => General => Reset => Reset all settings. This will reset your settings back to factory defaults. This seems to help with a number of the little glitches that are popping up right now with the new OS.

Easy Share Button for Browser Window

Using the adobe connect SDK ot Flash Builder, is there any way I can customize Adobe Connect to have an EASY Share button for a browser window (IE). People in my department have a hard time sharing their screen and I want to make it easier.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Is there a way using the SDK? No. However you can use the Compliance and Control settings in the Admin section of Connect to dis-allow the different types of screen sharing and then white list or black list applications that can be shared. For example, you could disallow all but Application sharing and then white list IE. Then when they share their screen they will only see the option to share an application and, if IE is running, they can select that application before starting their screen sharing.
Of course this means that nothing else can be shared other than IE until you change the screen sharing settings.
May just be easier to tell them to share their screen using desktop and whatever they are looking at, so is everyone else.

How can I add a custom made share button for Facebook?

Hi!
I have built a custom "share"-button for Facebook (with an additional layer for rollover/active states, using photoshop), but I don't know how to make it work?
What code do I have to use, or can I just create a link using my button? What would the adress be?
I googled this but couln't find anything that helped...
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't appear so simple Tobi. The image is pulled from Facebook's servers and the button in itself is an altogether different HTML page from Facebook shown on your site within an iFrame.
I found something similar to your request (this requires PHP support on your server). Please check the below link.

Safari share button does not work

Whenever I try the share button in safari for anything other than email it just freezes and will not share....I have a MacBook Pro 2014 running Yosemite 10.10.2

"Share" button for video in Messages app not giving any option except email

I recently started having an issue on my iPhone whereby I receive a video via iMessage and tap the "share" button, and instead of the usual choice of share options, there is only one displayed: "Mail". All the other options, such as "Save to Camera Roll", "Print", "Copy", "Assign to Contact", "Twitter" and "Facebook" are missing. So I can only "share" the video by email. This prevents me from saving the video to my Camera Roll.
Despite this, I can still play the video from within the Messages app, so there is no obvious problem with the video itself.
The person sending the video is using an iPhone 5, and I am using an iPhone 3GS. Earlier videos sent by the same person using the same phone did not have this issue.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Ok, I managed to find the root cause, and a workaround of sorts.
I took my phone into the Apple store. They hadn't seen the problem before, but they were able to find a few other threads describing the same issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4404114?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4383813?start=0&tstart=0
The one thing all the threads have in common is that the phone receiving the video is older (specifically, a 3GS). The Apple staff said it's probably because the newer iPhones are generating video in a format which the 3GS does not support. This is despite the 3GS being able to play the video within the Messages app, which is a bit odd.
This theory appeared to be confirmed when I inspected the video on my Apple Mac - when I right click and choose "Get Info", the newer videos which have this issue are 540 x 960 and generated in iOS 6.1.3, while the older videos which don't have the issue are 272 x 480 and generated in older versions of iOS. So the picture quality has increased. This is despite the videos being generated by the same physical phone (I'm pretty sure they are anyway).
Based on this hint, I was able to get the videos into my 3GS's Camera Roll by converting the format of the video as follows:
Copy the video to an Apple Mac (you can do this by connecting the iPhone to the Mac via USB, and then running Image Capture.app on the Mac).
Open the video in Quicktime.app (in my case, I'm running v10.2)
Choose File > Export > Format > "iPod touch and iPhone 3GS". This generates a copy of the video in .m4v format (MPEG-4) optimized for iPhone 3GS.
Copy the new video back to the phone [*]
Tap the Share button, and voila - Save to Camera Roll option is there and works as expected.
If you don't have an Apple Mac, there may be an equivalent way to convert the video in Windows.
Of course, copying the video on to a computer, converting the video format, and copying it back to the phone might be more trouble than you want to go to just to save it to your Camera Roll!!!
[*] Copying the converted video back to the phone is a bit of a pain. Since I'm using iCloud, I used the Messages app on the Mac to send a message to myself with the video attached [!]. Following this, I could open the video in the Messages app on the phone. An alternative might be to email it to yourself. I also tried copying the video using iTunes, but this was no good: the video ends up in the phone's "Movies" app, which unfortunately plays the video incorrectly in landscape format and appears to have no Share button.

Safari "Share" button causes crash

Whenever i try to share a url using the share button above the address bar, safari crashes. It happens EVERY time i try to share a url, just wanted to know if others have the same issue..
I have the 1.1.1 firmware, and didn't have this issue before the update. I've also noticed more general safari crashes while music is playing, its pretty annoying. So does anyone else have the same issues or is it just my phone?

Never had an issue with it. I would suggest a true reboot.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

Cannot send email links from Safari share button in iOS8

Hi All:
This is a new one for, and not something I have experienced since link sharing was introduced. I am running iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 6. When I find a web page I want to share in Safari, I tap the Share icon, and the share sheet comes up. I select Mail, and a pre-populated email sheet appears. I can type text in the Message or Subject fields, but if I try to select a different sender address or enter a recipient address, the email message simply disappears. it's not in Mail trash or Drafts. It's just gone. This does not happen with my iPad mini 3 at all. Also does not happen on any of my family members' phones.
Obviously, I can Select,Copy,Paste the link into a manual email message. But sharing a link via email does not work in my phone. Any ideas besides a restore?
TIA!

In Mail, select Mail > Preferences > General > Default email reader: Mail 5.2

How to make Exit button for Out-of-browser application

Greetings all,
This sounds so simple, yet I can't find anything about it. I want to make an Exit button in a Silverlight 4 Out-of-browser application. When the user clicks the button, the application is to quit or close or exit. (The same effect as if the user clicks
the red X icon in the upper right-hand corner of a window.)
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Jonathan --
Yes, the word Page has taken on many meanings in the last 15 years. I'll clarify. When I make a simple Silverlight OOB (out-of-browser) application using Visual Studio 2010, I ask Visual Studio to Add New Item, then choose Silverlight Page. Let's
say I name it Page2.xaml.
By default VS2010 already made another page for me, MainPage.xaml.
Now, here is my need: On the page called MainPage.xaml, I want to place a large button that says Exit Application. When the user clicks that button, I want the application to end and the entire window to close. This is the standard behavior in most traditional Windows
applications, for example in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. In any of those traditional applications, the user can, from the menu, choose File/Exit. If he does, then not only does the application quit, but also the window
closes itself. The user doesn't have to click the small red X icon in the upper right corner.
That simple behavior of almost all traditional Windows applications, large and small, is what I'm looking for in my simple Silverlight
OOB applications: An Exit command that quits the application and closes the window itself.
Sorry for the confusion. I really appreciate your help. Any ideas?

Safari share button

After I installed Mountain Lion ( upgrade from Snow Leopard), I don't see an option of adding my favorite websites to my home screen. The only way I can save them now is either to bookmark them or add them to my reading list. If I drag the URL address into my desktop, it lands there with Safari icon only. So now I have a bunch os Safari icons on my desktop. What am I missing?

Never had an issue with it. I would suggest a true reboot.

Why is there no "share" button for voicemail??

I want to forward a voicemail i got to my husband and he is out of town...
It would be nice to send a text message with an audio file attached... You could record it on another phone using the voice memos and forward that audio file but that is such a "rigged" way to do it. I dont understand why it would need to be so difficult. Why hasn't Apple added this feature?? I didnt have much luck finding any 3rd party apps to do it either. Sorry, just frustrated!

For one, Voicemail is a carrier feature & not a phone feature. Second, not all carriers permit forwarding of voicemails, & those that do generally only permit forwarding to someone on their network. This has nothing to do with Apple. So, contact your carrier & ask if they permit forwarding of voicemails.

Freezing Share button with Facebook

For two months now my Share button has been freezing when I try to share something with Facebook. I thought it would be temporary, but now it just freezes and I have to reboot to keep it going...no need to say the link never gets to Facebook. What do I do?!?!?!

Try sharing from the
Share Source sample to see if it can share the data you want to Facebook and Twitter. If not then the problem is that those Share Targets don't do what you need.
In that case you would need to go directly to the Facebook and Twitter APIs. You can find information on those from https://developers.facebook.com/ and http://dev.twitter.com

Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help

In mountain lion upgrade, the share button in safari does not include facebook as advertised, how do I install it.

why is there no facebook in the safari share button as advertised, only the twitter, and imessage button

It is advertised that facebook integration will be available this fall. see http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/

Share Button iOS

I am making an iOS application and I have integrated share capability. I would like to know if I can get the share button for a UIButton without having to make one. What I referred to as a share button is known as the action identifier on a UIBarButtonItem. Because of copyright reasons I do not want to just get one off the Internet. Is there a way I can get this graphical icon legally?
Thanks!

My problem is similar. Share button brings up your usual toolbar to select the sharing avenue. I select Message, for example, and hit Next. It then takes me the screen where I type in the recepient. After I type the name in and select it from the suggestion list, the phone freezes for about 5 seconds, then resumes like everything is okay. When I finally hit send, however, the screen quickly disappears, suggesting the operation went trough. Going back to the messaging app shows that the operation DID NOT go through and the picture did not send. This also happens with sharing links from Safari. Have not tried other things yet. Hard-resetting the phone did fix the problem for a day or two, until it came back shortly. VERY annoying.
