Safari Spinning Out of Control - Why Doesn't This Get Better?!!

For a very extended period, Safari has been spinnin out of control memory-wise - no other OS I use does this, not does any other browser I use on OSX. This goes on and on and on and on, with no real remidiation coming from Apple. It is maddening and ruiining the usability of using the MAC and OSX. It may be due to Flash, or Flash and Apple's refusal to properly work with Adobe - Flash is out there - it is on a huge number of websites and not just for entertainment - it cannot be avoided - also transactional sites such as StubHub use it. If I have ten or fifteen web pages open, Safari, between Safari Web Content, Safari and Flash, can take three or four gigabytes or even more, and Flash is the least of them. It does not happen with Firefox. With Safari spinning out of control, the entire device slows down. This has been going on for far far far too long. It happen on my MacBook and my iMac. When is this going to get resolved? I am starting to despise using the Mac and OSX.

G5 Hard Drive Spins out of control

Every so often (like today) since the day I brought this G5 home, the Hard Drive starts to spin out of control (whether in use or asleep). I then have to force it down. When I re-start, it's just fine. This probably happens once every three months. I could never get an answer from Mac - any ideas why this happens?

Have to say I have zero idea what an out of control spin would be (off the race track of course).
But with any system or hard drive issue, how about repairing the drive directory with Disk Warrior.
Force shutdowns generally cause directory problems. A Safe Boot helps, some. Not enough.
I would not say it is fine, though, and Apple First Aid doesn't do enough.
See this other thread with LOTS of good tips on troubleshooting:

Why doesn't iOS get viruses?

The question was posed to me by a Norton Support Agent.
Why doesn't iOS get viruses?

iOS is a closed system. You can't download to it, or from it, unless it's within the tightly controlled Apple universe.

My problem is to undestand why I got a syntax error about parenthesis.Because you cannot perform arithmatic operation with a value coming from a subquery in a SET clause of UPDATE

Why doesn't this i phone (5c( give me automatic audible notice of an email ?

Michele,
Launch Settings / Notifications Center. There you can alter how the system notifies you. Then scroll down to Mail and adjust its specific notification type.
Also make sure that the Alert sound is turned up in the Sounds portion of Settings.

Why doesn't OpenH264 get installed?

Hi Mozilla Community,
I recently deleted Firefox and reinstalled it for some troubleshooting, and now I am facing an issue with the Add-ons. It now says "Will be installed shortly" for about 2 days already for the add-on "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." (See screenshot). Why doesn't it get installed? And do I need this add-on or is it unnecessary anyway?
Regards,
Adrian

Hello, any luck if you toggle (double-click on it) the '''media.peerconnection.video.h264''' to '''True''' in about:config ? After that exit firefox and restart it.
thank you

HT201250 Is there any disadvantages to Time Machine? Why doesn't everyone get it?

I am looking at Time Machine, and it looks great and really helpful. Are there any disadvantages? Why would anyone not get it? I am trying to figure out if I am missing something. Thank you!

Unlike Mr. Galt, I don't use TM, preferring bootable clones made with Carbon Copy Cloner. Disadvantages?
1. not bootable, so useless if the boot volume goes south, without reinstalling the OS and hoping that restores the boot volume. Alternatively, you can wipe the boot volume, reinstall the OS, and hope the TM backup is restorable. Contrast with booting into a clone and immediately knowing if it works. If so, then you're back in business.
2. TM requires always having the ext HD connected and powered up. I prefer connecting ext FWHDs and updating clones on my schedule, not Apple;'s,
3, I've never had to retrieve something I changed or deleted, so TM holds no value for me.
To each their own. For more on TM vs clone, see http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html
Finally, a google search for TM vs clone gives many hits. Peruse them.

Time capsule hard disk spinning out of control

My TC's hard disk out of of the blue yesterday started spinning louder than it usually does and cuasing it to emit a whirring, grinding like sound which acclerated to the point I thought the tc was either going to become airborn and/or explode or both.
The tc was not living in unusal condions both enviroment, configuration or extreme temperature variations. It was on a seperate return portion of my desk with nothing around it to crowd or adversly affect. Configuration is ethernet to comcast smc business gateway over the wan port and a direct ethernet to thunderbolt conx to my macbook pro retina and finally a sonos bridge was connected as well.
At the time this occured I had not been putting the tc through anything more unusal than providing DHCPservices for my local area network in my house.
When I plug it back in its spits and tries to spin but gives up and the status light remains solid amber. it will not reset either as far as changing from solid amber to blinking to open airport utility.
its a first generation 500gb tc, however it is the third device genius bar has replaced since i purchased originally in Apr 2009? each time genius bar has replaced it through apple care on my mac as a peripheral device covered by applecare they have strangly had three! of the original (same 2008/9 model to replace the failed one which none to date has ever had any of the sympotons i describe here. just trouble accessing files. Now my fear is I no longer have the imac w/apple care the tc was covered by but I have a new macbook pro retina which I bought in December and is still under warranty so i wanted to try and economize and wait to by apple care later this spring.
all my backups are on the tc 500 gigs worth plus I need the router support as i have comcast business class and they dont offer a wifi cable modem. I'm frantic that I will get nothing from apple care or genius bar but the same bland, robotic like detatchment all apple employees seem to be secretly instructed to treat its custromers with these days as they maddeningly tell me to buy a newer tc for $299 or $399 that i simply dont have the money to do so and dont antcipate having it at all in the next 6 months especially snce I just shelled out 2 grand in Decemeber for the new macbook pro retina. Especially saddened I coud have potentially lost all of my photos and my 60 or so gigs of itunes media purchased entirely from itunes fair and square for the past decade to the tune of twenty thousand dollars!
Appreciative of all your expertise,
Desperately mistrustful of Apple in the post Steve culture
San Francisco, Calif

I am reading through the boards here and it sounds as though there was a small fraction of those who purchased the orignal tc in the spring of 2008 who have experinced the same issues exactly. It also sounds as though Apple ackowledged this to those who complained with a replacement of a later generation tc AND conceeded to those affected that there was indeed a design flaw. Astonishingly, Apple did not issue a press release nor a product recall!
As I said Genius Bar here in San Francisco did replace the device three times but with the exact same model. The most recent swap was in Jan of 2012.
I am sick to death of being disregarded and abused by Apple everytime I experience a valid hardware issue or reuire tech support period. Since 2004 I have faithfully purchased Apple Care agreements with nearly every device I've purchased and this one time when I try to save a little money by waiting untill the 90 day warranty on my macbook pro I purchased in Dec 2012 is close to expiring AS advised "off the record" by more than one Apple Care advisor.

Fan problem...spinning out of control!

Okay first off I love my new Macbook but it isnt perfect. The powerbox hisses and the fan moos a bit but last night something crazy happened! I was browsing on youtube and then hit the back button and the mac froze up and that little multicolored circle just kept spinning and nothing happened. Then the fan started to speed up faster and faster till it was going an insane speed full blast and I had to shut it off by using the power button which didnt go well either it sounded like the thing was going to take off for liftoff the fan was overspinning so fast. I was low on batteries and not plugged in so I dunno what would have caused this. Man I really don't wanna have to ship it back specially after my XBOX 360 just died too and I had to send that back. They really don't make stuff like they used to

Just called applesupport and he basically said don't worry about it and if it happens a few times then there may be a problem. Most likely since the PC froze and the fan is run by the OS it was just running faster to protect the PC at least thats what he said.

G5 HD spinning out of control, resulting in frozen system. Help!

I have an Apple Power Macintosh G5 2.0 DP (PCI-X 2) running OS 10.5. Well-maintained and in excellent condition, it performed flawlessly for years. Recently, however, the internal 1 TB drive began spinning at a very high rate of speed, resulting in a frozen system. Booting from the second internal drive resulted in the same problem, as did booting from an external drive. Disk Utility and Tech Tool Pro could not discover any hardware problems. Could the problem be related to a faulty HD controller and, if so, what are my repair options? Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

Spinning out of control

Hi,
The JSpinner keeps firing if one of the buttons is pushed down and held down. Is there a way to just receive a single event. So that the mouse button needs to be released and pushed again before the next event is generated?
Rene'

Safe Mode should not prevent your Mac from connecting to the Internet. It will be generally a pain to use and graphics will be jerky but the problems you describe should not occur.
I'm beginning to suspect your Mac's operating system has been corrupted for reasons unknown, and the next logical action before suspecting a hardware problem would be to reinstall OS X from its original installation discs.
Before you do that please perform an SMC reset according to the following. It is justified for certain performance problems that can't be explained any other way, and is completely harmless to your Mac.
Read and follow all the steps. After that, restart your Mac normally. If it still misbehaves, locate the original, grey System Install DVD that came with your iMac because you will need it to reinstall Snow Leopard. That will not erase your data.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Test: Streaming... streaming. "Streaming". Hmmm...

Why doesn't this insert into XMLTYPE work?

Hi again. Hopefully I'll be answering questions soon, but meanwhile I've got another one.
I'm working in this environment...
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
The encoding for the database is WE8ISO8859P1.
in SQL Plus. I created a table with an XMLTYPE column stored as binary. Here's the desc...
PS: BWDSTG> desc bwddoc;
Name Null? Type
SUNAME VARCHAR2(100)
SOURCE_DOC_TEXT CLOB
DOC_TEXT SYS.XMLTYPE STORAGE BINARY
LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE
PS: BWDSTG>
The following error also occurred when I created the same table with a storage type of CLOB for DOC_TEXT. Here's the error I can't figure out...
PS: BWDSTG> insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2 <a>–</a>
3 ');
insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8211 (U+2013)
Error at line 2
It accepts the command if I replace the – with plain text. Why does it care what the character entity reference is? It's changing the encoding pseudoattribute in the xml declaration to US-ASCII anyway, and this character entity should be perfectly acceptable. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows the reason for this (or what I'm not understanding, which as always is a distinct possibility).

Sorry, let me try again. SQLPlus doesn't have a problem with the multiple lines, so I'm just trying to insert the XML.
PS: BWDSTG> insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
2 <a>—</a>
3 '));
insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00217: invalid character 8212 (U+2014)
Error at line 2
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 310
ORA-06512: at line 1
My problem is that...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<a>—</a>
should be perfectly good HTML. libxml2 and expat both have no problem parsing it. They just leave — (which is some kind of a dash) alone. But Oracle XMLType doesn't like it for some reason. I need to load a lot of data that has numeric character entities like this but I can't 'til I get this resolved.

}Thats it any help would be much appreciated
Cheers.

Like the previous poster indicated: try to find a minimal example that shows the error your experiencing.
One thing that seems bogus is the Server.listener() method. For one thing, it can increment x even if no new connection has been established (e.g., x will be incremented if an exception is caught).

Why doesn't this simple script script work

I'm pretty new to actionscript, I learned it from books, actually I still am.
The script I'll try to work out for my site, worked fine in the lessons of the books.
I don't think my buttons are any different, but why don't they work then.
Can anybody figure this out.
my script :
stop();
whoweare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onNavigate);
function onNavigate (evt:MouseEvent):Void {
gotoAndPlay("contact");
whatwedo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onNavigate);
function onNavigate (evt:MouseEvent):Void {
gotoAndPlay("slideshow");
The error : The class or interface 'MouseEvent' could not be loaded.
Help?
Dirkhou,

right answer, but it was already fixed,
It seems the problem can hide anywhere, even in the little things.
anyway.
Thank you for the help.
