Safari would be (very) good if...

Things Safari needs to sort out as priority:
1. Memory management. WebKit uses less memory than any other rendering engine I've tried. This is fantastic, but when you close a tab, no memory is released. This makes it very frustrating to use for any length of time.
2. We need more options on how the tab bar functions or allow right clicking and closing on those opened in the list when the screen width is filled.
3. We need a simple scroll bar like every other Windows browser has, where you can middle click, and scroll at the speed you want to.
Fix these three things, and it will be a true winner of a browser, and it could overtake Firefox as the community therefore plugin support grows. Customizing the appearance is another that I can think of, and put homepage button in the toolbar instead of bookmark page as installation default, otherwise the browser makes no sense as there's no sensible way to open a nice new tab. If anyone can think of anything else, please do add to the list!
Safari needs some competition from another browser that uses WebKit. Until that happens, I'm not convinced they'll want to make it look like a really nice Windows product, or any better than it can be on OSX.

I'm 100% sure, and just tested it to be certain. If enough memory is used up by Safari, the whole system runs and programs open very slowly even though only 1 tab is left remaining open in Safari. The computer needs to use the swapfile to accommodate, which is very slow.

When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

Im not very good at troubleshooting, but I have played around with the system preferences. My airport connection is fine as well as the ethernet. Firewall says its not connected, (im not sure if that matters or not?)

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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 at the top of the screen. (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."

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.)

In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app

/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

My MacBook is almost two years old and has started running really slow. It gets bogged down when it is running different programs at the same time, like Safari and Pages. It didn't react this way until recently. Any advice would be very welcome.

Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive (the drive itself, not the volume icons below it.) Is the SMART status "Verified?" If not, replace the drive immediately. If the status is "Verified," the drive may still be failing. Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Reinstall Mac OS X, then run Software Update. Test with all wired peripherals disconnected. If it's still slow, you have a hardware problem.

Safari has gone very slow

Hi there
I have an iPod touch and have found that safari has gone really slow. It takes ages to load the page and zoom in and out also scrolling up and down. It al started when I let my kids aged 11 and 9 used it. They where not as careful as me when using it but I was supervising and they did not drop it or anything. I have rebooted it then reset it to factory settings in iTunes. I have taken off the apps that they put on there but it made no difference. It has been fine since ios 4 update came out so it had nothing to do with that. I always thought that safari was quite quick but now its unusable on some sites, manly sites with moving images. It is like there is not enough ram any more. I know its not the modem as the two computers that i have are just the same, pretty good and there both using safari. Its strange as my mobile phone with android did the same thing about 6 months ago and nether improved. The phone does it on any wifi and mobile network, so again it cant be the modem. Is there any thing I can do with the ipod to speed safari up, or is that it I cant use safari any more and use opera instead?
Thanks for any help

thanks both for the repliy
I now its not the network as its fine with everything else. Also I have already tried restoring the ipod with itunes and that didn't make any difference. I have now reset it like you said but that didn't work. Not sure what to do now maybe safari just want work like it use to. I forgot to say it is a second gen ipod touch so it is quite old now.
Any more help I would be very thankful for.

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

How does one get rid of Chinese in Safari thank you very much anyone got an idea

Apple have done a great big mistake visibly. How can they have released a new iOS which does not take into each machines configuration.
Maybe it's only about money. Now the boys to the top and the job's family have made a great deal of money out of apple, no one really cares.
In the meantime, if someone does have a way of solving my problem of how to get rid of Chinese in Safari I would be very grateful.
Also the photo upload and other features within the photo system had been changed. It is now difficult to delete photos in bulk and the machine. Is there a solution to that issue?
What I don't understand is this indicates that someone is playing around with making iOS worse not better giving full steam ahead to someone like Samsung and others to pounce.

The Favorites view is create based on a list of bookmarks in a bookmarks folder called "Favorites". You may remove the Chinese web sites from the Favorites view by removing them from the Favorites folders in Bookmarks.
1. Launch Safari.
2. Tap the "Bookmarks" icon to the right of the address view.
3. Tap the "Bookmarks" tab (the one on the left).
4. Tap the "Favorite" folder. You should see the list of Chinese web sites.
5. Tap the "Edit" button.
6. Delete the unwanted bookmarks.
7. Tap the "Done" button.
Note that if you want to add your own websites to the Favorites view, just add a bookmark to the Favorites folder while you're viewing the website.
Also note that changing the language setting won't change the sites in Favorites. The list of sites is created on first upgrade to iOS 7.

Safari browser is not good

I think that my question is very clear
I will repeat the question again
I and my family are facing difficulty in intensive Safari browser was very slow and I now use another browser because the browser Safari is very bad I hope you can help
Because Safari already needs to be developed
I'm sorry I do not like Safari browser
For your information I use a very high speed Internet

This thread is a follow-on to this thread.
Whether clear or not, a performance question is often not a simple question.
If a browser other than Safari meets your requirements, then by all means use it.
It would not be typical for the Safari web browser to be significantly slower than another recent web browser.
While there may be an issue with the OS X system or with the network, that would usually effect all web browsers equally; the network and DNS speeds would usually effect all systems.
There's unfortunately not much that can be done or determined here in the forums; not without more information on the configuration and the network.
Make sure the OS X system has sufficient free memory and free disk space available.
Disable any Safari extensions as a test, and use the Safari menu to select both Empty Caches... and (if that doesn't improve performance) then Reset Safari...
As a more advanced test to profile page load performance, Safari includes developer tools, and these can be enabled and used to profile what's taking time within a particular connection.
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > check Show Develop in menu bar
This might tell you what is loading more slowly.

Very good. I have a macbook pro retina 15 "First Generatio.

Very good.
I have a macbook pro retina 15 "First Generation.
I read that you can not increase the memory or video card to me is worrying that neither the apple house can do that, because it is way too expensive equipment, not to increase capacity.
I do not think that's impossible, I would like to know about this is disturbing please.
Thank you.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

5s screen cracked. Receiver speaker worked but when replaced screen the receiver speaker wasn't coming through very good. Replaced receiver speaker and still bad quality. All connects are tight and opened it a few times. Where might the prob be?

Pretty much what I wrote. I didn't damage anything and all of the connections look good but the speaker isn't coming through very good. I tried to mash the receiver speaker into its boot because I know that if it isn't seeded well then it could cause muffling but it is in place and secure. All of the contacts look fine and none were damaged or touched when the phone was opened. Any idea where I could have gone wrong here? Mainly the receiver speaker sounds garbly and scratchy. Like it would sound from being water damaged and no this phone has never seen water. Thank you for any help anyone.

Wow. That was your help? Yes obviously it's damaged and obviously I have damaged it. Thank you for that. Now back to the question. What did I damage so I can fix it. This phone is too old for warranty as well. That's why I'm fixing it. Please, everyone else. I don't want instore advice but tech help. This is the Apple Community.
In your first post, you said you didn't damage it. It seemed worth pointing out that it was, in fact damaged. And, as I suggested in my first reply, you might try a website like ifixit.com. They specialize in resources for people to repair iPhones.

SOS,
I still have not been able to find smashing text books or website that treated forms and reports so excellently.
Would you be able to recommend a few please.
Many thanks

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!
Have a nice day

Safari would be (very) good if...
