Scrollbar freezes when browsing

Hope someone can help, when browsing the web, occasionally the scrollbar will freeze and I am unable to scroll down the page, the scroll bar doesnt vanish it just freezes. my iMac is 2.4GhZ intel core 2 duo, with OS X Lion, I have 3GB of memory, could this be the problem? do I need more memory? My hard drive is 250GB and I have 16GB free, could this be part of the problem?
This only occurs when browsing and does not happen when working on documents or scrolling in iphoto etc, doesn't happen all the time but seems to be occuring more often, very annoying!
Any ideas?

I think you answered your questions, you should upgrade your RAM and you need to free some space on you hard drive.  As a rule you should have 10% remaining free space on your have drive (in your case 25GB).  Download OmniDiskSweeper if will give your information on your files and folders.  Once you take of these problems you should be good to go.

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

  • Lion freeze when browsing webpage

    I purchased a new 27' iMac two months ago. I upgraded to Lion yesterday. Everything went well until today when I browsed a Chinese website (www.6park.com) using Safari, the computer freezed. I noticed the freezing happened when the webpage contains some pictures or videos (but it didn't always freeze when there are pictures or videos). I can move my cursor but the system had no responsive no matter where I clicked, or no matter which key I stroke. I had to do a hard reboot (using power button). But it will freeze again after some time. This is the website I regular visited for news and postings. I never had this problem in Snow Leopard.
    Do you have any idea what can be the problem? Thanks a lot!

    Just a thought, are you using the Lastpass extension?
    Many extensions have not been adjusted to support Safari 5.1 test… or some of the "old" extensions have not properly been uninstalled before a new version supporting Safari 5.1. has been installed.
    This can also be the case for users using the Lastpass extension.
    If that is the case run
    https://lastpass.com/lpsafari.dmg
    and than download the latest Lastpass extension again
    https://lastpass.com/lastpass.safariextz
    even though you have the newest Lastpass extension already installed.

  • My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

    My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet.  We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset."  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Mail freezes when trying to browse network folder

    HELP HELP HELP!!!
    mail opens fine, sends and receives fine.
    If I attach a local file to the new email it works fine
    If I browse the Server 2008 share through finder it works fine
    *In a new email if i click on attach and try browse the server 2008 shared folder, mail locks up and I have to force close..*
    I have 2 macbooks (OSX 10.6.4) and this happens on both..
    FYI: I need the windows server so please don't worry about replacing it comments
    Thanks for any light you can shed on this issue....

    I am also experiencing this issue, Mail is freezing when browsing network folders when trying to attach to a composing email.
    I was using Ubuntu 10.4 on my other notebook, where I have tried using smb:// and afp:// modes of shares. Both seem to produce the same beach ball freeze experience in mail when attaching. The shares do work well for all of the other applications I have used so far however.
    For now I am able work around this by using Finder to browse the network share to copy the file to a local folder, and then navigate Mail to that local copy to attach that. Though it is the inconvenient kind of extra leg work that I am used to and expect when using (other PC type OS)
    And I am interested in figuring out how to attach files on network shares too.

  • Spinning ball when browsing Xvid videos..

    Hey guys, I'm afraid I have abit of a difficult one with not much to go on.
    I have my Mac Mini G4 hooked up to my standard def tv via the Composite/S-Video adapter and running iTheater on it to play back Xvid movies, the problem is whenever I'm browsing to find a video inside of iTheater, my Mac will freeze up, with a spinning ball going continuously. The cpu fan will go into turbo mode, but I think it eventually gets over it after a few minutes and unfreezes (thaws? :p).
    Ok, so, here are the details
    - 10.4.11
    - iTheater 0.2.0
    - DivX 6.7
    Now, I've been watching movies fine in DivX Player, and Quicktime appears to play them as well, I haven't played for too long since QuickTime won't do full screen.(I think iTheater uses it as a backend)
    It will freeze whenever I highlight a Xvid video (but not always, sometimes I can highlight a few no worries), which should be when it gets a thumbnail of the video, if I'm correct, but never does. It seems to affect videos in the Movies folder and via my Samba share on a windows box, both wirelessly and wired.
    The problem doesn't appear to happen when connected to my 17" computer LCD.
    The problem used to happen with MediaCentral many months ago, but I eventually rage quit and dumped my Mac in a cupboard. MediaCentral if I remember correctly would freeze when browsing videos even though the software doesn't generate thumbnails.
    I've tested the RAM using the Apple Hardware test and Rember, and it passed both.
    So, that leaves me with the following theories (I think),
    - Codec issue
    - Something to do with my settings for displaying it on the tv which are causing it to hang (they're default, and its a PAL tv)
    - Hardware issue.
    Anyone able to help?

    I have to think you are just dealing with a bug in the 0.2 code of iTheatre.
    Have you tried your question on the iTheatre support forums?
    It is particularly odd that you don't have the problem with your monitor, but do with the TV.
    If diagnosing this, I would experiment with having/not having a network share alias. And also trying different xvid files, in case there is some odd about one of them.

  • Firefox freezes when opening a window with PDF files, etc., yet it works perfectly when using explorer as browser.

    I think Firefox mozilla is having issues with Adobe reader. It frequently crashes. I think this may be why my computer freezes when pulling up a PDF file or other text windows, yet, everything works perfect when using Explorer as my browser. It is so frustrating using Mozilla because it gets stuck when opening windows which require pulling up certain types of texts or applications, then I have to wait forever, or, reboot, and once in a while it gets so stuck that I have to take out battery and remove all power sources then start from scratch, and set my computer back to all settings previous to failure. Like I said, this only happens with Mozilla, all other browsers work perfectly well, but I love my Mozilla and it is my preferred browser. Please help. Thanks so much,
    susan

    Hi Susan,
    The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
    When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
    I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
    Good Luck :D

  • APPHANGB1 when browsing the web, or just keeping it open. Happens once in a 5 minutes, and it freezes for 30 seconds. I found many people who have this problem too ....

    APPHANGB1 when browsing the web, or just keeping it open. Happens once in a 5 minutes, and it freezes for 30 seconds. I found many people who have this problem too ....

    Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
    I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
    I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.

  • When browser window cuts off content (is too small for the page) scrollbar wont scroll down to cropped content.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having a new problem with Muse. This is my first Muse site, all my previous web work was HTML CSS, but I'm trying to learn the programs. However, I have a weird problem with my page... When the browser is too small - aka the window showing the site is cropping some of the content, the scroll bar appears, but wont scroll down it... I don't understand why. It seems to be happening in all browsers. Likewise, on some computers my footer is missing or invisible, not sure why, but on my computer in all browsers (firefox, chrome, safari) I don't have the problem. Any advice?
    www.DanielleFeliciano.com
    Also, in site properties I have the minimum height set to what would show the whole page, not sure what is going on. I've also noticed, that the scrollbar appears when the page is cropped, it just won't scroll the page..

    Looks like you have your content pinned on the homepage .... or on a layer that is pinned. Probably the header layer.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Any Browser freezes when trying to add image finder pop-up

    Since updating to Mavericks, whenever I try to add images etc in ANY Browser, the finder popup freezes when I select Desktop for the image.
    I have found a work around, I created a folder, I called Images on the desktop, and when I copy any images etc into that folder, I can select the folder, and the contents to add to browser etc.
    This also works if I copy image to any other sidebar folder, ie documents.
    Sometimes works off desktop if I reboot imac, for a while.
    This is very annoying, and has only happened since 10.9 update
    I have to Force Quit on the browser, to continue using that Browser
    Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, all the same. (Latest versions)

    I wasn't referring to this forum, but I've just tried to add image to this post , and the same problem shows.
    Choosing Desktop from finder pop-up sidebar, browser freezes then I have to force quit.
    Select any other sidebar item, including my folder "Image" from Desktop, works fine !!
    Funnily enough, because this forum adds image into the message, I can drag & Drop image here !!!
    But only in compose window, when I post message, the image disappears !
    However, this dooesn't bother me.
    My problem is with forums where images are added by an extra input below message body

  • Firefox Browser freezes when websites have google analytics, anyone else experienced this problem? Know how to fix?

    Firefox Browser freezes when websites have google analytics, anyone else experienced this problem? Know how to fix?

    Hello Steven.
    There have been similar reports, yes. You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2012 freezes when plugged in

    Hi. My Mid 2012 MBP which runs on Yosemite 10.10.2 keeps freezing even when just browsing on Chrome so I uninstalled Chrome and used Safari. I was still having problems after switching browsers so I restored my device to its factory settings but the restore did not solve my problem. All this time my device was plugged in so I unplugged it and tried to browse. It did not freeze or crash. I read the forums and found out about the SMC reset and a NVRAM reset but my device is still freezing when plugged in. I am typing this while my MBP is unplugged. Please help.

    Reset the SMC again:
