Safari will work for a while, then slows to "Spinning Ball of Death" & typing jumps, erases & may not space

I have a 10.5.8 Macbook, Leopard & almost exclusively use Safari. Got it in November of 2008. (Trackpad Clicker has not worked for ages. I have to use a mouse.)
Also, just recently, when using the keyboard to type, I may lose most if not all that I just typed, sometimes it doesn't space or move down more than to next line & often when I hit a symbol key, the cursor may end up anywhere.
For ages it has been doing what is stated in Subject/Question.
I can use it for a while, frequently clear Safari Cache. (Can't seem to clear Home->Library->Cache anymore. Much in there, but I fear that with the problems that I have had with this Mac since the first year that I will remove something that is necessary & really shouldn't be in that Cache. I did do it a few times way back, but it won't even let me move things to trash anymore.
I know that I need a new Macbook, but I can't afford one & really need larger than a 13" screen, as I have 3 different eye problems. My friend got a deal on a "bells & whistles" Toshiba 17" laptop during "Black Friday" for something over $400. Something comparable in a Macbook would be ~$2,800-2,900 plus tax!!! Ridiculous. I got a Mac to not have to deal with viruses & the like & to have one like my musician friend who needed direction with a computer & wanted a Macbook because of the "Garage Band". I bought mine ~3months after he bought his & wouldn't you know, mine is a Leopard & his a Tiger AND they had upgraded "Garage Band" on mine... so, nothing in common.
I have had nothing but trouble with my macbook since 1 year after I got it. As I was trashing what should have been "unsaved" & "saved" downloads, I happened to have my iPhoto open & near the end, I walked by to see all of my photos & documents disappearing to trash. Nothing has been the same since. The "Genius" was rude & no one could tell me what went wrong or fix my problem. I had over 8,000 items that were no longer in folders or albums or anything. All that was done was to move them from my trash to desktop to ONE folder for which I was left to deal. (Possibly go back to that time in my Time Machine??? But don't really know how to "pick out" all that was good, leave out the "mess" & still have all the new that I have done in the past 2.5 years??)
I had paid for 1 year of classes AND for the 3 year coverage & APPLE CARE. I was on the phone with those guys for hours & hours & months on end to NO avail. I am not a "happy camper". I think that they owe me a new one, even after all this time. My intent was to write them a very long detailed letter, but lightening has struck my house & fried all my components EXCEPT this "P.O.S", which would have been paid for by the Insurance company... Argh. And then my freezer went out & the new one was "DOA" & I have been fighting them & my dog has been lame for a year now, & I am a non-practicing vet, because of debilitating Depression. It has been over 10 months & my roof & chimney are still not repaired. I know... "TMI", but I guess I am venting to let you know why I haven't addressed Apple about my "P.O.S" macbook.
Any help wrt new WARNING message,(previous question), Safari winding down every time after some use, why my keyboard is going nutso & what to do about all the 1000's of files that are in my Macbook, (I thought that we moved most of them to an external HD, My Book. I have one for the Time Machine back up & one for "Storage". But, alas, it seems that most are still in my macbook & there is very little memory & that may well be a big part of my problem.)
Thanks for bearing with this "newbie on here".
I realize now, that this probably should have been at least 3 questions or more, sorry. If I have to redo, I will.
Just wrote a separate one regarding the "WARNING-SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE, every time I click on a new website on Safari.
Thanks to any & all. (Forgive me, if I don't know all the ettiquette & rules of this site. (Be kind & guide me.)

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

I boug ht an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier

i bought an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier plz help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Photostream works for a while, then stops and won't upload to iCloud anymore. Rebooting the phone resolves the issue. Anyone know why?

I have an iPhone 4S. Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud. Rebooting the phone resolves the problem. This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work. Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong with it? I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
Thanks!

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Strange issues with W7 shared Laserjet 1020 to XP machine - works for a while then stops

I have a principal with a Windows 7 machine and a Laserjet 1020 printer. The assistant Principal (XP machine) wants to print to his printer.
When the printer is shared - it will work for a day or two then it will stop responding. The print jobs from the W7 machine will just dissapear. They won't even go in the print que. Stopping and re-starting the print spooler doesn't help, power down of the printer doesn't help. The ONLY fix seems to be to delete the printer and re-install. HUGE pain!!!
I have made sure bi-directional is UNCHECKED and it still has these issues.
I re-installed the printer and didn't share it and it has now worked flawlessly for over a week.
But I really need this share to work! HELP!!! I've never seen a problem like this before!

Seems to have worked.
We hooked up the external HD, turned on Time Machine, and everything backed up.
Then we ran Disk Utility. The disk repair required the reboot thing and took two tries. Then repaired permissions. Also updated Flash.
Seems to be running okay now, but we have ordered a new SSD (as well as a new iMac 5k ). We use multiple computers so hoping we can get a couple more years of use out of this old computer as it ran fast and fine until this problem.
Thank you so much for your help! We really appreciate it.

Since Nov update about a third of my songs have a circle with an exclamation mark inside the circle. These songs will not play on my computer. Message says "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have reloaded these back onto itunes with my own CD collection. They work for a short while, then the same thing happens. I don't know what is causing this or how to fix it.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Remote works for a while, then fails to connect

I upgraded my first-gen iPhone to software v2.0, and installed the Remote app. It connects to iTunes on my Mac and it works fine, for a while.
Then an hour or so later, when I launch the Remote app again, it gives me the "Could not find library" error.
The only way to fix this is to close & restart iTunes on my Mac.
Rebooting the iPhone doesn't help. I've got the firewall disabled on my Mac. And the Mac is set to never go to sleep.
The computer is a Mac mini running OS X 10.4.11, with the latest version of iTunes (currently 7.7.1).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Anthony DiSante

...aaaaand I've now upgraded from 10.5.1 to 10.5.4; that also didn't fix the problem.
I've discovered that disabling & re-enabling the computer's network connection does fix the problem. So as a workaround, I've created 2 new "Locations" in my Mac's network preferences, one called "Online" and the other "Offline", in the latter of which I've just disabled all the network adapters. I then created the following script (which I named togglenet.sh):
#!/bin/sh
scselect Offline
sleep 5
scselect Online
So I can execute that by SSHing from my iPhone to my Mac. Or I might install Apache on my Mac so I can make a CGI script out of it, so I'd just need to hit the page using Safari to run it.
So, at least there is a workaround; but I REALLY hope Apple just fixes this friggin' bug.

Range expander works for a while then doesn't

My range expander works fine most of the time so I know that it's set up ok. The problem is that both LED's will be blue for a day or two and then I'll notice that the Link LED is blue for four seconds then flashes red for a second and continues this until I unplug it and then plug it back in. When it's doing this "flash thing" my computer still works but is EXTEMELY slow in changing pages and obeying commands. What does it indicate when you get the "four second blue/one second red flash" and does anyone know how to keep it from happening so often? I have a linksys wireless-G router FYI. Could it be an interference problem from a microwave oven or something like that in my house?

There are many Devices which interfere with the Wireless Connectivity. Try to keep the Cordless Phone, Microwave away from your Router, Range Expander and from your Wireless Computers also.
If you still face the same problem, then you can try to re-flash the firmware on your Expander. Once the firmware is upgraded on your Expander then you need to reset your expander and re-configure all the settings on it from scratch.

Very slow iWeb, spinning ball of death with every click.

This is a problem I'm having JUST with iweb.
After any click I make, or try to do anything in iweb, I get that spinning color ball for about 10 to 20 sec. It makes iweb unusable.
I have all the latest updates, have repaired the permissions, ran disc repair, booted on external drive and ran tech tool pro, re-repaired permissions and disc from disc utility.
I then proceeded to reinstall iweb, downloaded the updates and I still have the same problem.
What ever I do in iweb I still get the same spinning ball. When I change to another program, there is absolutely no problems. This is only iweb related.
I have a very simple web site. A few blog entries with some photo's. No video.
Can anyone please help me ? Please.
Thanks

I've read that iWeb is memory intensive. How much RAM is
installed? Not knowing your knowledge of the mac, I've included the following, so please do not be insulted if you already know this info
Learn how check the amount of installed RAM (physical memory) and the amount of memory being used.
To see how much RAM is installed, choose About This Mac from the Apple Menu. The Memory field specifies the amount of RAM installed in the computer.
Mac OS X does not display the memory allocation and usage levels of individual applications in the About This Mac Window. Mac OS X automatically manages memory allocation and usage. This is different from earlier versions of Mac OS.
Viewing memory usage:
For Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 or later, open Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities/). For Mac OS X 10.2.8 or earlier, open ProcessViewer (/Applications/Utilities/).
Mac OS X processes and applications are listed in main window. In Mac OS X 10.3.9 and earlier, the "% Memory" column indicates the percentage of RAM in use by an application or process at the time of sampling.
In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you can see the overall percentages of memory in use or idle at the bottom of the Activity Monitor window.

My computer will work for a while and then it powers off.

I have a macbook pro. Just today I have had problems with it all of a sudden powering off and I have to restart it. When i do, it does it again. I have updated all of the updates but I have never had this problem and don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone else?

Basic troubleshooting techniques for any problem
Restart the computer = joy?
Reset the router = joy?
Restart the computer in Safe Mode = joy?
ask yourself "What changed immediately preceding the onset of the problem?" = Anything... hardware, software, cabling, environment (interference source)
