Safari with Lion - V Bad...

Ok- I have Lion on 3 different machines (iMac, Macbook Pro, macbook). On ALL of them now I have these issues:
MUCH slower than with Snow Leopard.
Not finding webpages (including this site)- it either hangs or brings up a message saying it can't find the site.
Not being able to do things like book cinema tickets (two different websites- Vue and Empire). With each case the site gets to the submitting payment information and then does not do anything else. there are no error messages and it happens on all my Lion safari machines (before Lion all was ok). The sites DO work with Windows 7 machines.
What this feels like is that my browser is no preventing me from using the internet.
So- what is the solution? Do I have to uninstall Lion and go back to the original Safari or is their something that everyone else has done to get their Safari versions working?
Getting very frustrated (even loaded Chrome to access the internet in the meantime...)
Ta,

I have found the exact opposite with my Macs and the others I help to install Lion. So far for it appears to be signigficant faster.
I would suggest removing all of your Safari plugins as a test to see if that changes anything.

  • Safari with Lion doesn't autoload tabbed pages

    Pre-Lion Safari was able to load multiple tabbed pages all at once when I choose "Open in Tabs" from the drop-down bookmarks menu in my toolbar.
    This has killed my workflow as I could instantly open multiple tbs, have them all load in the background as I read the first tabbed page. Now when I click a tabbed page I'm presented with a white/blank page which then has to load.
    This was once the forte of why I stayed with Safari and didn't go to Google Chrome. If Apple can't fix this I'll probably stop using Safari as I really hate this latest downgrade.

    For the reload issue...
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.
    just at restart this lousy system eats-up 2 giga of RAM more
    Back to the Safari menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:   Clear history, Remove all website data, Clear the Downloads list, Close all Safari windows.
    Restart your Mac, launch Safari. Check RAM usage in Activity Monitor.

  • Safari, Mountain Lion and emailing pages

    I suppose I'll get used to the tabs in Safari on Mountain Lion, but one thing that seems a huge step back is the ability to email ANY web page from Safari. Oh, yes, I know you can email pages, and I know where the command is, and I know when you're sending it it looks fine in the email window, but have you seen what happens when it arrives with the recipient?
    On some web pages, the text is extracted from the page and presented, but images and layout are lost, and a link to the page is included instead. On some other web pages, the recipient just gets a jumble of text extracted from the web page (everything, like navigation lists and other links, like something from the 1980s) and they have to scroll WAY down to find the relevant text, say of the story you were trying to send. This never happened in Safari with Lion, or any previous OS, as far as I know (maybe OS8.6?) but it happens in Safari 6 on Mountain Lion. This feels all wrong, like this function on Safari has gone eleven steps back.
    Did nobody test this feature before ML was launched? I mean, like REALLY test it, see what happened when the recipient received the emailed web page? Obviously not.
    You know what Steve would say.

    This thread seems to be dealing in the area where I am having a problem. I can easily from Safari email the link to a page but if I choose in the mail side to have it as pdf it simply goes into mail and just sits there and keeps displaying the message loading in the mail message it opens.
    If I do it from safari by going to the print menu and selecting from the PDF area of the print dialogue mail pdf it will open a mail message with the pdf showing as an attachment. Similar happens if I choose to send it as a web page. Does not seem to matter on either if I have it set to rich text or text in the mail same behaviour.
    Any idea with what might be going on. thanks
    Am using lated Mountain Lion 10.8.2

  • On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

    How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Hi, i have a MB Pro Intel C2D with Lion OS and i migrated the user to another MB Pro i5 Lion, after migrating I'm having a problem on Safari, it won't open and just crashing

    Hi, i have a MB Pro Intel C2D with Lion OS and i migrated the user to another MB Pro i5 Lion, after migrating I'm having a problem on Safari, it won't open and just crashing

    Shouldn't be having a problem, then. That's the version for ML. Try taking your question to the Safari forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari - that's where all the Safari experts hang out.

  • Magic Track Pad with Lion 10.7 and Safari zoom aA vs Pinch to zoom

    Hi,
    I enjoy a Mac Mini (early 2009) hooked to a 50 inch plasma and surf from my couch, stream etc... We browse with Safari 5.X and enjoyed the new Magic Track Pad with Snow Leopard. You could zoom / scale Safari with Snow Leopard beautifully, with a pinch out on the trackpad, same function as aA option on the browser task bar.
    Now with Lion, the pinch to zoom feature zooms but doesn't scale the safari window the same way aA option used to.  In lion a pinch out to zoom in will push a significant part of the browser screen off / out of view.
    The aA option on the safari task bar scales the window, and keeps everything visible but larger, but now in Lion it is not available from the Magic Track Pad Gestures. The Button is still there on the browser but there is no option to access it from the track pad with a gesture.
    How can I revert to the old way of zooming / Scaling a Safari web page with my Magic track pad in Lion?
    Thanks,
    H

    You can see in that screenshot that a lot of browser.gesture.pinch prefs have an empty string as their value and thus won't have any effect.
    You can restore some zoom feature by modifying the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    You may want to toggle this pref (I don't know what effect this has):
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>

  • Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari?  I used this a lot and really miss it!

    I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in?  I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer.  I really miss this capability!

    Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

  • My Safari page (with Lion) suddenly doubles in size?

    With Lion, my Safari pages suddenly double in size with a slight movement of my mouse. Any ideas on how to fix this?  Also, with Lion, when I leave my iMac for some period of time, the pages freezes and the cursor point pixilates when I move the mouse. I have to turn off the computer and put in my password to restore functions. Any clues?
    p bishop

    I'm not sure what you mean by the page doubling in size. Do you mean the contents enlarge as if you zoomed in? (The window remains the same size.) If so, check the "Smart zoom" option in the Mouse pane of System Preferences. There is a Smart Zoom option in the Trackpad pane also.

  • Cannot access Adobe website with Safari under Lion

    Hi guys,
    I have 5 macs at home and upgraded two of them with Lion. Since then, these two computers (MBP 17" + imac 27") can no longer access Adobe website (the other three macs + my ipad 2 can still access Adobe website without any problem).
    Message errors I get: "Safari cannot connect to server" or in some other cases I get a grey screen with "RSL Error 1 of 1, Error #2048".
    This occurs only on Adobe website regardless:
    - The web browsers I use (Safari, Firefox, Opera)
    - Enabling cookies or not
    - Switching on/off my firewall (Little Snitch)
    - Reseting Safari cache, history, etc.
    I also tried to reboot in safe mode but it still did not work.
    I uninstalled Flash player and reinstalled it. Same problem occured.
    I updated all my softs to latest versions.
    I need to access Adobe website since I am about to purchase online CS5 but so far I just can't.
    Anyone has a clue to what's going on?
    Should I reinstall Lion?
    In advance thanks for your help.
    Cheers,
    Christophe

    Try again. Adobe announced a four-hour maintenance shutdown yesterday and most likely you got caught up in it.

  • Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
    I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
    My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
    So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
    I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
    Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

  • Can't get safari to open with lion.  Any ideas?

    Hi,  Have been struggling to with lion and safari.  Feel like I'm on a safari.  Can't get safari to open. When it does, crashes immediately.  Any ideas?

    Nasty.  I have some ideas:
    Can you open Safari in a different user account? (that will help to determine if it is a corrupt install or something systemwide).
    Do you have any 3rd party add-ons for Safari?  Try disabling them.
