Safari windows get stuck until Exposé

Hi
Every now and again, I am surfing around in Safari, and suddenly I can't click the close, minimise and zoom buttons, and the window won't move around. I can still use the content of the page perfectly well though. If I press any of the Exposé keys, it comes into the organiser-expose-thing from the edge of the screen, with just a bit poking out. When I deactivate Expose, it goes back to the edge of the screen, and the stuck window is gone. I can now drag the window perfectly.
It seems like it is making an doppelgänger of itself and then hiding away, but I would like to how to stop it happening, and, if possible, why it happens at all.
Thanks in advance.

Windows get stuck at the top
Upgraded to Maverick - finder (and some other) windows are stuck to upper left corner
windows move to top left corner after sleep - anyone else see this?
Mavericks and MacMini - after sleep mode windows resized and glued to left upper corner

Safari 6 gets stuck; won't scroll or scrolls to show blank area

I've been having trouble with Safari 6 since upgrading to Mountain Lion several days ago. The symptom is that after using Safari for a while, I'll go to a Web site and the page will load, but it won't scroll. Sometimes when that happens I can't click on links or controls either. Other times, the page does scroll, but rather than show the rest of the page, Safari shows empty space of the page's background color. Refreshing the page doesn't help, nor does closing the window and visiting the URL again, but if I open a new tab or window and go to some completely different site, that page usually works okay. Once a site gets "stuck", I have to quit and restart Safari to get it to scroll again.
I've disabled all extensions and the problem still occurs. It's erratic, though, and seems to happen more frequently on some sites (metafilter.com) than others (cnn.com). It sometimes seems that opening a set of tabs (with "Open in Tabs") makes it more likely to happen.
I am working on a Web development project now, and am using Safari's JavaScript debugger and Web inspector frequently, if that might have something to do with it.
This is driving me nuts. It's disruptive to my development workflow, and I'd hate to have to turn to Chrome or Firefox for the work. Can anyone suggest some diagnostic tricks to try to figure out what's going on -- or, better yet, a solution?
Thanks!

@kbern, you can actually debug using Safari 6.0 inspector. Apparently following your link, it seems that on Safari 6.0, enables uncaught exceptions by default.
All you have to do is untick it for the pages to load properly. I have the same exact problem as jgarbers. I was wondering why everyone is saying safari 6.0 was so fast and smooth, while I'm having rendering problerms. Turns out not everyone opens the developer menu. Only people like us who work debugging pages use that.
So the solution, if you want the Developer Menu on always, you just untick the break on uncaught exceptions, and your pages should load properly.

Safari keeps getting stuck!

Hi everyone
Safari browser(latest version) on my macbook pro retina(mavericks) keeps getting stuck on certain websites such as cnet,forbes etc. I am unable to open some of these websites at all as it gets stuck and only solution will be to force quit safari.
Please any help or suggestions?
Otherwise its a beautiful machine.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Everytime i open a video on safari it gets stuck at 7:10 (iphone 5)

Everytime i open a video using safari it just freezes at 7:10 but the video plays on and i can hear the voices

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

When doing a Compare, the window gets stuck on "comparing page objects"

I have to kill the Adobe session in order to continue.

IPod nano (5th Generation), Windows, get stuck in syncing after few songs

I try to sync smth like 3000 songs, and after few ones, it remain syncing for hours at one random.
Already tried to restore the iPod, uninstall iTunes, change USB port. Tried also with an another iPod, and worked...

I have a few suggestions for you today.
1st. try and sync a few songs at a time, 3000 songs at once can possibly freeze your pc.
2nd. try and reinstall itunes. : http://www.support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

When digitising video gets stuck, then pushes video and audio out of sync

i am digitising from a deck rack, which is hooked up via a patch bay, with 2 J30-1 digi decks and 1 HDV deck. These are all connectable to my mac via some patch cables.
Recently when digitising, really only over the past two days, no matter which deck or tape format I am coming from, the video in my capture window gets stuck on a frame, and ends up capturing this frame until the tape jolts itself out of this frame.
When I review this clip, the video frame will stick, and then the audio is out of sync with it.
This happens on both digi's and DVCams, I am confused as to why this is happening, haven't seen it before.
Any ideas much appreciated
Lianne

not positive, but sounds like a hardware issue.... try going from source to machine and eliminate hardware..if it works...you've got a hardware issue.
i'd test each deck direct. then reconnect it to patchbay...much more intensive, but at least youd eliminate many issues. it might even be a bad cable. i had a similar experience with a bad firewire cable...so maybe you start with the cable running to your machine.....for me i'd go direct and eliminate issues step by step source to capture.

Testapp.exe (console) keeps getting stuck without any underlying process

Running an OCI client (testapp) from MS Visual Studio 2005 keeps on giving me some strange behaviour:
When I stop the debugging session, the window gets stuck/orphaned with no underlying process, not possible to get rid of, not even when shutting down (hard reset was the only option left).
This is really annoying. Of course quite possible this has nothing to do with OCI, but since my friends got the same problem running from some other exe, I really have to test it on this forum.

This is a microsoft issue.

New documents get stuck at top of 2nd display only in First Class app and mavericks

I've read a lot of the discussions about windows getting stuck in the left corner, etc. My problem is slightly different.
I seem to have a unique problem. I am running 10.9.2 Mavericks and have an hdmi cable connecting my tv as a 2nd display (extended desktop).
We use First Class as our LMS, and I will frequently have a window open on the 2nd display (random) and get "stuck" at the top of the screen.
It doesn't seem to matter what the display settings are. The bar with the close/max/min buttons is not showing, so I cannot drag the window anyplace. The only way I've found to unstick it is to change the display setting for the second display and then move the window. sometimes this will happen each time I open a window in F.C., and sometimes it stops. The display settings don't seem to matter, except that when I change them (only for the 2nd display), the window unsticks. Thoughts?

That is because you don't make any attempt to clear the old list and repopulate it, you just make a new one and add it in. Try making a constructor that creates your GUI then just add, clear, and otherwise manipulate the objects/lists in the GUI--you don't need new ones.

My windows is stuck during bootcamp and says i need to eject disk but will not allow me to. How can I eject disk?

When I turn on the mac to install windows in bootcamp my windows gets stuck and says I must eject disk to install but will not allow me to eject disk. How can I eject the disk?

Deauthorizing the computer will only cause you to have to enter a password to play iTunes Store purchases on that computer. It doesn't have anything to do with media thats synced to the iPod, other than the account user name is synced too.
Check this Apple document out -> Using iPad or iPod with multiple computers
If you want to delete the music library on your device and make the new computer its "home" computer, choose Erase and Sync. iTunes will delete all songs and playlists on your device, and then will copy the music library and playlists from the new home computer to your device.
If you want to move the iTunes Store purchases on your device to the new computer, choose "Transfer Purchases." The new computer must be set up with your iTunes Store account and authorized to play your iTunes Store purchases in order to transfer your iTunes Store purchases.
Notes:
Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your device. However, if you are legally allowed to transfer song files, you can use your iPod as a hard disk3. An exception is the transfer purchases feature, which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to an authorized computer from your device.

I am having problems opening pages in safari. the rotating wheel at the right end of the address window doesn't stop even after the page has filled up. then if i try to open other pages it gets stuck and won't open them.

I started having problems opening pages today. When first open a page it seems to download the page OK, but the rotating wheel on the right-hand end of the address field keeps rotating after the page is completely filled up. Then if I try to open other pages it becomes slower and eventually stops filling-in the pages, while the rotating wheel keeps rotating.
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac, or what is going on. Help will be geatly appreciated.

When was the last time you emptied the Safari cache?
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that didn't make a difference, go back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
And how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space. Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If emptying cache or resetting didn't help and there's enough free space on the startup disk, login to another user account, launch Safari. Same problems there indicates a system wide problem. Log back into your admin account so you can check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility. /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
I wonder whether junk is being downloaded into my mac
Nothing should "download" to your Mac unless you initiate the download yourself. You can check the Downloads folder from the Safari > Window menu or your Downloads folder in the Finder.

Safari gets stuck loading pages and cycles indefinitely

I am new to Macs. I am using Safari to trade stocks and many of the pages I use must be refreshed every few minutes. These pages are located in etrade.com, ameritrade.com, google finance and yahoo finance. At any single point, I may have up to ten or so tabs open in my window and refresh each as I need. However, Safari will have a tough time refreshing the pages most of the time and will get through about half of one, then get stuck and start cycling indefinitely. At that point, I need to stop loading, reload/refresh the page a couple more times, each time Safari getting further along and getting stuck again, until the page properly refreshes completely. I understand that I am using a lot of pages at once. But that should be no problem and should have no affect on the browser and other pages. I have a 2.93 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD hard drive. The computer has no software on it so far. No music, nothing so far. I've never had this problem with Mozilla or Explorer on PCs. Even this Apple page had to be reloaded, now that the problem has spread to all pages I browse online. I have no other problems with the notebook. Does anyone know what's going on with my browser and do I need a software update or need to get the computer flushed and everything reinstalled? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forums!
Try this:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
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 (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
