Safari stopped loading pages

It just sits there thinking or sometimes doesn't even show itself thinking. The submit buttons are unresponsive for login pages, etc. If I copy/paste the links into another browser they work fine so it's clearly safari. Because safari is my default browser it's a real pain if i click any links in email because i can't use safari.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Delete the url's for the sites you have trouble logging into. Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help...
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete the keychains for the sites you have problems logging in. Relaunch Safari and try accessing a site.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Repair disk permissions..
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Safari stops loading page

Why doesn't safari load webpages completely? only sometimes though

Try changing your DNS servers. Try OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).

Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! Maybe it's because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up. All other browsers work normally.

My Firefox ver. 3.6 stopped loading pages of any kind. Even Google or Facebook! I don't know how this happened. May it is because I tried to download a program that didn't even open up.... But I don't know how to make it work. All other browsers work normally, and I'm scanning for viruses even though my anti-virus did not warn me of anything... I tried to download a keygen and this is what happened. I can't figure out what it is. Not a connection problem. I even tried to uninstall an re-install firefox, but still nothing worked.

If you update to Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x then you have more options for the location bar behavior.

Safari stops scrolling pages

Since recently upgrading safari and of course the OS to Mountain LIon, I have discovered a quite serious bug.
Randomly safari stops scrolling pages. This has so far happened 3 times in the last week or so. You can open/close/view pages, but even though the scrollbar is present it won't scroll. I cannot use my mouse wheel, or click in the scrollbar or use the space bar, page down key or even search the web page to force it move down.
The site I visit doesn't initiate the issue, it can be any website. The issue appears to be quite random, the only way to fix the issues is to close the browser and start it again.
I have currently 2 extensions running in Safari, Ultimate statusbar and Awesome screen grab., I am going to proceed to remove both to test if this fixes the problem.
However this is very frustrating as this has never been a problem in other version of Safari to date. I had to complete this question in Google Chrome, as of course I couldn't scroll to tee bottom of the page in safari!

Try resetting and clearing the cache more often.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
If that didn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari stopped loading all images!

Safari stopped loading all images! Do I have to reinstall or is there a better fix for this?

Yep. Don't know how programs get the nerve to bug-out on their own, but surfing through the forums gave me the inkling to look further. I had to post the no-brainer since it seemed so painfully obvious!

Firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a heavy page

firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a page with alot of pictures etc, with big size. it just keeps on loading pages with no result.
my internet is fairly low speed so i take my time but this happened each time i tried to open such sites.
even when i close that '''tab''' and try to open just '''google.com''' , it wont load.
its solved after closing and opening firefox again . but happens again if i try to open the same heavy site

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Safari stops loading website

I have one of the new 27" imacs, with the Apple airport router, Safari 6.05 and OS X 10.8.5. As of the last upgrade , when clicking on websites or if I'm tryiing to open one of my favorite links, safari stops loading the website. The only way to load any website is by me going to the address bar clicking on it and hitting enter, once I do this the site will load, this is not the only problem along with website if I'm watching a video half way through the video it will come to a complete stop and no matter how many times I hit the play button nothing happens. To get the video to run I have to hit the back button leave the webpage and then go forward back to the video click the play where the video will completely load and Im able to finish watching the video. It doesn't matter if its youtube, hulu or any other service I get the same results. Does anyone have any suggestions how to resolve this problem.

Have you installed the supplemental update to 10.8.5?

Safari stops loading

Since a few days Safari stops loading some websites before completing (including Apple.com). The proposed solution on this forum to add two DNS codes does not help in my case.
Your suggestions will be appreciated!

Try resetting Safari:
IMPORTANT: Resetting Safari removes all cookies, saved passwords, and saved AutoFill information, not just the ones saved during the current browsing session. Cookies saved by other applications may also be removed.
To reset:
Choose Safari > Reset Safari.
Deselect any items you don’t want to reset:
Clear history: Clears the stored addresses of webpages you’ve viewed.
Empty the cache: Clears the temporary location on your computer where Safari saves webpages you’ve viewed. The cache helps webpages load more quickly.
Clear the Downloads window: Clears the list of files you’ve downloaded from websites. Only the names are removed; the files themselves are still on your disk until you remove them.
Remove all cookies: Removes cookies that websites have stored on your computer.
Remove all website icons: Removes website icons, which are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the Safari address bar and bookmarks list, and other places. These icons are stored on your computer.
Remove saved names and passwords: Removes user names and passwords, which Safari remembers for you when the AutoFill feature is turned on.
Remove other AutoFill form text: Removes some personal information, such as telephone numbers, used to automatically complete forms on webpages. Safari remembers this information for you when the AutoFill feature is turned on. Removing AutoFill information does not remove information from your address book.
Clear Google searches: Clears the Google search field of recent searches, which are normally saved in a list viewed by clicking the search field’s magnifying glass icon.
Close all Safari windows: If you don’t close all Safari windows, someone could use the Back and Forward buttons to view the webpages you’ve visited.
Click Reset.
Open windows are closed and a new window opens. The new window has a new history for the Back and Forward buttons and the SnapBack buttons.

Safari stopped loading after an update

safari stopped loading, so i tried to download safari disk image from the apple site but when i try to open it i get the error that disk image failed to mount because it was "not recognized" i tried opening as a test user but got the same error. So then i dragged the original safari application to the trash and tried it but got the same error again

That generally means a bad download, or a Disk corruption problem.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Certain sites do not load properly. I have to click the Stop loading page button, the click reload page to fully load the site.

Using Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. When I navigate to certain sites (nytimes.com for example), Firefox loads most of the page, but some graphics are missing and the green circle in the tab keeps spinning. Typically I have to click the Stop Loading Page button, then click the Reload Page button to get Firefox to load the remaining items in the website. Seems to get stuck with images.

This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Firefox stops loading pages and hoses internet connection for all other apps

Running Firefox 3.6.3; XP sp3; FSecure Client Security 9
After using Firefox for a while - sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, it will stop loading pages. If I click on a link, nothing happens. The program still responds to key / mouse input, but refuses to load any new pages. Furthermore, it stops all internet connections from my machine, so that IE and Opera stop working. I think it also stops email, but I am not sure.
If I quit Firefox, the process is still running and I have to quit it manually from Task Manager. That solves the problem and internet connections are restored.
I have tried in safe mode, I have tried removing all extensions, I have tried deleting my profile and doing a clean re-install. It's driving me crazy. Any thoughts?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Safari stops loading after a few pages...

This is a revisit of a problem I've had for almost a year now...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3181078#3181078
Open a couple of pages (fine) but from then on the progress blue bar makes it to the end of the http:// text and stops.
The browser is running and there's no sign of App not responding... leading to a force quit. It simply stops loading the pages.
This is even happening after installing Public Beta so I'm guessing it's deeper in the OS than any of teh files replaced or cleaned with this new install.
I like Safari, but not when there is a silly corruption/fault like this.
Thanks
Nigel.

I'm having a similar problem. Browser won't get past http not only with Safari but with Firefox as well. But with a few twists. My computer will actually crash on some pages running flash after a few minutes. Are you connecting to internet wirelessly?
I was at genius bar today and of course the computer seemed to be working ok, after crashing on me two or three times in the morning. But that was before I came up with the flash theory. They checked the crash log and saw an issue with airport. So they think it's an issue with my home router/modem unit. But I'm not so sure because my other computers, pc's, are doing ok. So I'm beginning to think it's an issue with the Airport card in the computer. I'm in process of trying to narrow it down now.
Could airport card be getting funky after being on for a few minutes? my computer is only a few weeks old.

Safari doesnt load pages

In Safari when i want to go to Google for instance the web page never stops loading. The blue bar in the address bar gets about 3/4 and stops, but never finishes loading or stops there. The only way i can get the webpage to show up is if i hit the stop button, but then the images on the page dont show up or anything. It seems to do this for a lot of pages i try to visit.
What do you guys suggest i try??
Thanks

Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
