Share button freezing

As am into my facebook/twitter i am frequently using the share button on photos and website links, but reccently I have been having problems with it. I will be sharing a photo to say twitter, I will be able to successfully write the tweet, but then when I click send it just freezes and the beach ball appears. The tweet I was trying to send will stay stuck on the screen and there is no way to get rid of it other than restarting the computer. it is really bugging me and i am just hoping it is a quick fix.

Freezing Share button with Facebook

For two months now my Share button has been freezing when I try to share something with Facebook. I thought it would be temporary, but now it just freezes and I have to reboot to keep it going...no need to say the link never gets to Facebook. What do I do?!?!?!

Try sharing from the
Share Source sample to see if it can share the data you want to Facebook and Twitter. If not then the problem is that those Share Targets don't do what you need.
In that case you would need to go directly to the Facebook and Twitter APIs. You can find information on those from https://developers.facebook.com/ and http://dev.twitter.com

Safari share button for twitter freezes browser

Occasionally, while using the Share Button in Safari to post something on Twitter, I encounter the colorful spinning wheel/icon, causing Safari to freeze. I cannot stop the process, and any open browser tabs become inaccessible. The entire browser window shows a transparent gray color overlay, and I end up having to "Force Quit" on Safari.
As burdensome as this seems, the Share popup window remains persistently visible along with the colorful spinning wheel/icon. So, I end up having to restart my computer...
I'm using an iMac w/ OS X 10.8.4 with the most recent version of Safari.
Any tips to avert this problem, shortcuts to terminate the freeze without having to restart my computer, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for the last few weeks. Before then, it was fine. now it freezes almost every time I try ot share a link via Twitter using the 'Share' button. I have tried removing the cache file as suggested but it hasn't helped unfortunately.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
I have tried deleting and reinstating my Twitter account in System Preference but no change.
I'm not sure if it's a factor but I have noticed that the problem could be related to the drop down list of Twitter handles that pops up when you type @ in the message. I've noticed that if the handle I want is in the drop-down list and I select it from the list, the message can be sent. But if the handle I want doesn't appear in the list and I type it instead, that is when it freezes. I am certain I am typing the correct Twitter address. As I say, not sure if that is related ot the problem.
All suggestions gratefully received
Paul

Share button not working

I tried doing the hard reset for the phone but for some odd reason it still keeps doing this ridiculous thing..
On safari, if you would like to share a link to a person using message you click on the share button and then you just need to put the recipient . After putting the name of the person--your whole screen freezes after a minute it goes to the message where you can send it. Right after you do that it(the message box) just disappears so then the dilemma is DID IT ACTUALLY SEND? The answer is-- NO. So then you have to do it over instead you copy and paste the link in the actual message app which is stupid. Is there a way to fix this? Its not only for safari. Once you click share most of the apps just freeze.
Thanks for the help.

I had same problem and called apple tech support and on their suggestion I did the following and everything working ok now. Hope it helps.
If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite
If Share button options (Email This Page, Facebook, etc.) or the Markup feature are missing after you install OS X Yosemite, follow the instructions below.
Follow these steps in each user account on your Mac to restore Share button options and the Markup feature.
Open the Terminal app. You can launch Terminal from the Other folder in Launchpad, or enter "Terminal" in Spotlight search.
Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
Press Return and wait for the Terminal prompt (ends in $) to reappear. It may take a few minutes.
Close the Terminal app.
If you have another user account on your Mac that has this issue, log into that account and repeat these steps.

Share Button iOS

I am making an iOS application and I have integrated share capability. I would like to know if I can get the share button for a UIButton without having to make one. What I referred to as a share button is known as the action identifier on a UIBarButtonItem. Because of copyright reasons I do not want to just get one off the Internet. Is there a way I can get this graphical icon legally?
Thanks!

My problem is similar. Share button brings up your usual toolbar to select the sharing avenue. I select Message, for example, and hit Next. It then takes me the screen where I type in the recepient. After I type the name in and select it from the suggestion list, the phone freezes for about 5 seconds, then resumes like everything is okay. When I finally hit send, however, the screen quickly disappears, suggesting the operation went trough. Going back to the messaging app shows that the operation DID NOT go through and the picture did not send. This also happens with sharing links from Safari. Have not tried other things yet. Hard-resetting the phone did fix the problem for a day or two, until it came back shortly. VERY annoying.

Some share buttons don't work on my tablet

I have a Samsung tablet, model GT-P3113 and its Operating System is Android. In some websites when I click share buttons like addthis and sharethis, they don't work and are inactive. I refresh the page and it doesn't help. For example, none of share buttons of http://www.threehosts.com/ratings/comparison-software/wordpress-vs-joomla-vs-drupal.html work on my tablet, but when I go to this page via my Laptop the share buttons work. My laptop OS is Windows 8.
One of my friends has iPad and I sent this link to him. The share buttons work correctly for her.
Does my problem come from my Android which doesn't support share plugins perfectly, or it comes from my tablet model?
Is there anyone with Samsung GT-P3113 on this forum? If so, could you please test the mentioned page and tell if its share buttons are active or not?

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7", model GT-P3113, wifi only (not on my Verizon plan). It's currently running Android 4.2.2; the share buttons on the site you listed above seem to work for me...I didn't actually go through and "share" anything, but I did get to this screen and it appears that all I need to do is log in to whatever service I want to use to share the post :

How to add a google+ share button to a composition?

I am working on a little app for which I want to add share buttons.
I don't have problems adding Facebook share and Twitter buttons, However I cannot find a way to add a Google+ share button.
For FB I create a rectangle and name it fbBtn. Then on click I add the foolowing code:
FB.ui({
          method: 'feed',
          name: 'Win designer fashion jewelry from Baloka',
          link: ' http://www.mysite.com/',
          picture: 'http://www.mysite.com/external-xfbml/share-image.gif',
          caption: 'Win designer fashion jewelry from Baloka',
          description: 'Baloka is giving away 22 designer fashion jewelry by Maria Mizrahi. Check this out. Do you want to win? You could...',
          message: ''
For Twitter I create a rectangle and name it twitterBTN. Then I add this code to document.compositionReady:
var twitter = sym.$("twitterBTN");
var c = '<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="http://baloka.com/content/socialApp/fb.html" data-text="Win cool trendy designer fashion jewelry - check this out" data-via="BalokaDesign" data-count="none" data-hashtags="BalokaSweepstakes">Tweet</a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id =id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(docu ment,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>';
twitter.html(c);
For Google + I found two ways to add a share button:
First:
Adding this snipped to the html document (not in EA):
div class="edgeLoad-EDGE-467457915"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url={http:baloka.com}" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,
'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img
src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a></div>
and adding this to the head:

    <meta itemprop="name" content="Baloka Sweepstakes">
    <meta itemprop="description" content="Win designer fashion jewelry by Maria Mizrahi - Baloka.
    There are 22 prizes including earrings, bracelets, necklaces and a couple of $100 gift certificates.
    Please share with your friends.">
    <meta itemprop="image" content="http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server2100/a154e/products/102/images/243/LittleTotemEarrings__ 55527.1355162788.1280.1280.jpg">
This works as expected, but I am having a hard time position the button in the right place on my page. I can see the button in EA, but the position I set it in there is not maintained once the file is published.
Thus, I would like to know how to include the code directly in EA as I am doing with the Twitter and facebook buttons.
Second:
Adding this to the html document (not in EA):
<div id="gplus1" data-action="share" data-annotation="bubble" class="edgeLoad-EDGE-467457915"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
      (function() {
                var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
                po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js';
                var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
</script>
Again, this works, although with this code I don't know how to customize the name, description and image for the info I am sharing.
In this case I was able to include the code on EA adding the following to document.compositionReady:
var googleplus = sym.$('googleplus');
var click = "javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');";
var g = '<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url={http://baloka.com/content/socialApp/fb.html}" onclick="click";return false;"><img src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a>';
googleplus.html(g);
The problem here is that instead of opening a window, it replaces the page with the one supposed to be on a different window, which I don't like.
So, in short, I need some help figuring out how to include the code directly in EA for the first method for Google+.

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. You said the FB code works. What did you do? What did you put in your html page? I tried the FB code above and it gives me an ID error. Appreciate it if you can elaborate more. I just posted the ff in the forum "Customizing FB Share in Edge Animate"
Thank you!

Share button missing "Email"

Using Mountain Lion, when I open any application that supports iCloud (TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Preview, etc.), then highlight an item and click the SHARE button at the bottom, I don't see "Email" as an option...though it's supposed to be there (it shows up in many Mountain Lion tutorial pictures). I see "Message" and "AirDrop" only. And yes, I have Mail.app setup. Any ideas?

Thanks Larry I'm well aware :)
Doesn't make a difference though, in my opinion it's still my favorite mail client on OS X.
Regardless of the mail client sharing via email should be enabled using the share button.
I was hoping for a command prompt settings mod or something of the like :/

Share buttons disappear at every restart

Since 2 days at every iMac restar share buttons in notification center are missing. I think it's due to mavericks update.
Things I tried:
- ensure facebook/twitter accounts are properly enabled
- share buttons in notification center are properly enabled
- reset PRAM
- restarting (of course)
but nothing happens, at every restart share buttons are missing, i can have them back just going in notification panel and disabling/enabling facebook or twitter notifications, i'm doing this every time i boot the mac, and, of course, it's realy annoying...
Any advice?

Try to disable transparency in Windows, see:
*[[/questions/804050]]
#Right click in a free space on your desktop.
#Left click on Personalization.
#There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".
#Select a border color
#Uncheck: "Enable transparency"

I can't post on my facebook account. Either it has a share button and it doesn't record my post, or there is NO share button.

For the last 5 days, I've been getting a message that says firefox has blocked me from opening a new window. I have to x that to get onto facebook. Once I'm in, everything I try to do brings up this message. My friend's posts don't have the share button. My home page HAS a share button, but when I enter something into my status update and hit share, nothing happens. I use Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 Service pack 3. Since having these problems, I've tried updating my Java program and my firefox. I updated Java because I kept getting script errors and Face book would tell me my Java script was disabled on my log in page.

How can I add a custom made share button for Facebook?

Hi!
I have built a custom "share"-button for Facebook (with an additional layer for rollover/active states, using photoshop), but I don't know how to make it work?
What code do I have to use, or can I just create a link using my button? What would the adress be?
I googled this but couln't find anything that helped...
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't appear so simple Tobi. The image is pulled from Facebook's servers and the button in itself is an altogether different HTML page from Facebook shown on your site within an iFrame.
I found something similar to your request (this requires PHP support on your server). Please check the below link.

Share button no longer working after updating to iOS 6.1.2

So this morning I updated both my iphone and ipad to 6.1.2 and now the share buttons in the app store no longer works, when I use the search function. To be specific if I do a search for anything and then try and open one of the apps in the search results and push the share button it never opens up the window to select a sharing option. The loading wheel at the top of just spins endlessly, but if I go to the "featured apps" page and click an app the share feature works. Worth noting that my iPad was also updated and works regardless

Hey I get this too does anyone else get it? Would just reinstalling fix it?
I have an iPhone 4 with 6.1.2.

Safari 6.0.4 "broke" Share button - also Mail can no longer find the application (installed via Map App store)

Since installing the 6.0.4 Safari update via the Mac App store, I have a host of problems:
1. Mail can no longer find "an associated app" when I click on a url in a mail message
2. The Share button (extension) in the Safari toolbar no longer works
3. Any attempt to open a new url results in a new safari window being opened although in my preferences I have "open new windows in tabs" selected
4. If I click on a tab that was previously open I am continually asked to refresh the window
5. I have had about a half dozen "Safari not responding" events since the upgrade, forcing me to Force Quit - generally when I'm trying to use one of the extensions or returning to a prebiously opened tab
6. Safari is intermittently unresponsive to mouse clicks -functionality can only be restored by refreshing the page
7. Safari can no longer find my passwords for some extensions (e.g. Buffer)
8. Safari is EXTREMELY slow loading pages - stalls out a few moments after entering url (or switching back to that tab) - sometimes for as long as 2 or 3 minutes
All the Safari extensions I have were eeither pre-installed or from Apple's Safari extensions page.
The install also corrupted my iCloud (AppleID) password, but thiswas easily fixed in Keychain.
Anyone have a fix or know of any software conflicts that could be responsible?
OSX 10.8.3
Safari 6.0.4

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then uninstall them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
