"View All RSS Articles" Sometimes Stops All Pages from Loading

Hi!
I'd like some help with this:
Sometimes, when I view a whole lot of RSS articles in one tab, the content stops loading after one hundred or so articles have come in. After this, no pages will load -- not even a local html file in my home directory.
These message appears in the console:
2007-01-17 13:10:37.996 Safari[6634] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
(event handler):Null value
Memory and CPU don't seem unusually high. I can still close tabs, export bookmarks and do other things with the menus. I just can't load a new page.
Quitting and re-starting Safari is the only way I have found around this problem.

Wow... thanks for trying out those feeds that I suspected. It's a wierd problem, because it does not occur consistently.
I reproduced the error by viewing all RSS articles in my news feeds bookmarks folder, and I used "Start Profiling with Sample" on the Debug menu to create a .sample file, and I stopped profiling when the error recurred a few seconds later.
This produced a ten-thousand-line-long file that may contain useful information.
Here's the console log section:
2007-01-20 16:42:11.587 Safari[227] starting sample tool
2007-01-20 16:42:39.834 Safari[227] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
2007-01-20 16:42:44.918 Safari[227] sample tool output written to /tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
The file is at
http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
I also have excerpted my news feeds bookmarks folder, so if you like, you can try importing it into Safari and loading all of it at once (a bit over 1,000 articles). It's here:
http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/news%20feeds.html
I will try this from another account of my machine. I'll also try it from another account with Safari running in its messed-up state on my main account.
You know, this would not bother me much at all if it weren't such a nice feature when it works. Most Apple things are like that for me: great when they work, and they usually work.

How to stop a page from loading?

Does anyone know if there's a way to stop a webpage from loading (i.e. before it finishes)..? This page, for example:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/gameflash/2011/06/04/36460_recap.h tml
When I click on the "X" (or type Cmd+period) i want to cease ALL communication with whatever website is in the address bar. I don't want periodic updates, i dont' want animated ads to finish loading, i don't want my screen rearranged.... nothing. I WANT TO TERMINATE ALL CONTACT WITH THAT WEBSITE until such time that i might click on "reload". And i should be able to do this without having to yank out my ethernet cable.
This may be a more general problem that applies to Firefox as well.

Huh, i didn't realize the escape key did something different than Cmd+period. It seems to work but i'll have to try it with some of the peskier websites.... Thanks.

I don't see a way to stop a page from loading. There is no "X" in the tool bar like there used to be, so how do I do it in Firefox Beta?

When I change my mind about loading a page I don't see anyway to stop it from building or to cancel the action. I tried to research "stop" at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20Reference?s=%22url+bar%22&as=s#w_stop regarding the main window reference menu but nothing of what I read there seemed applicable. It appears "Stop" is supposed to be under "View", but I did not find it there. Please help! I want a simple click of the mouse action to prevent a page from loading!

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window. 
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu. 
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar. 
 
You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items). 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden. 
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.

When I try to load ABC news I get the error message that says Firefox stopped this page from loading. Do you want to allow it? Of course I do, or I would not have gone there. It does not do this onother pages. How do I make it stop?

It consistently does this when I try to read ABC news and when I try to go to my bank's web site. I am getting real tired of this. This message will pop up over and over even after clicking allow. How do I shut this off it is really annoying.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Can you remove the "View All RSS Articles" and Counter in Bookmarks Bar?

Hi There. I have a folder/drop down menus called "MyMix" in the Bookmarks Bar with several subfolders of pages I like to visit regularly. It's a silly thing but I get tired of the climbing counter of RSS articles in parentheses that sits next to it. Is there anyway to remove that functionality? I have a few other drop down menus that don't have the same problem, so not sure why this one does it. I've tried copying the folder and taking out each individual subfolder but it still keeps the RSS counter and "View All RSS Articles" link in there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. I should've checked preferences myself. Duh.
Still curious as to why it chose that folder instead of the other one's I have to display the RSS updates but I guess that will remain a mystery.
Thanks for your help!

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

How do I stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading after upgrading to ver. 6.0?

I upgraded from Firefox 3 point something or other (if I could remember exactly, I'd tell you) about 2 weeks ago to version 6.0. Thereafter, Firefox always starts up with two pages; one is a page declaring "Your Firefox is up to Date" and, on another tab, the default home page for Firefox. (the Google one)
It has continued to do that ever since, and I cannot find a way to stop the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at start-up.
I'm running a pc with WinXP Professional w/Service pak 3.

A suggestion for stopping the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page from loading at startup.
Use MozBackup for this; get it at http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/.
A good user friendly tutorial on it's use can be found at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2418/backup-your-mozilla-based-software-with-mozbackup/.
Download MozBackup and read through the howtogeek tutorial.
Exit Firefox.
Open MozBackup and start the procedure.
Follow the procedure except for a part where you RESTORE the profile; in the Components selection window in MozBackup, UNCHECK the "General settings" box (you remember the General tab in the Tools/Options window in Firefox where your homepage info is kept?)
Continue with the procedure to the end.
When you re-open Firefox, you should be getting the Google homepage without the "Your Firefox is up to Date" page.
Go to Tools/Options/Privacy tab. If it looks different than what it used to, ie: you used to have the option to not accept cookies, etc and now you don't, open the drop-down menu in the Hisory portion there and click on "Use custom settings for history", which will provide options for more control.

How do you stop game center from loading, How do you stop game center from loading

iPhone 4 _ iOS7
I have never used Game Center. However, most times when I open a solitaire game that I purchased on iTunes having 0 to do with Game Center, Game Center (obnoxiously) loads and asks that I join or login or whatever. Altough I hit cancel, that is not sufficient. I have found no means in Tools to disable Game Center.
Is there no way to stop Game Center from loading??? (behavior same in both OS 6 & 7)

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

How do you stop top sites from loading in safari

I have tried for days to stop "Top Sites" from loading in Safari 7.0
In my ~Library I have locked the:
Safari db
metadata db
etc.
There is no way I can find to stop these crap top sites from loading!!!!!!!!!:(
Anyone found a way to fix this?

Never mind, I found out how to do it. However, you can't get rid of all the sites because in Safari 7.0, in the Preferences>General Tab, you can only change Top Sites to a minimum of six. So, you can't entirely get rid of them.

BUG: IE11, windows 8.1 enhanced protected mode prevents pages from loading. Slow browsing experiece

if enhanced protected mode is enabled in IE11 on windows 8.1 it prevents many pages from loading in a timely manner.
eg. TechNet.microsoft.com; dotnetcurry.com
this is reproducible on multiple machines.
please resolve.

Hi,
Based on my test, it works fine on my windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Firstly, we need to check the following:
1. Do you mean the issue is only occurred when you enable the enhanced protected mode?
2. How about other browsers? Do they also meet the same issue?
3. If there is a computer on the other network, please check if it also meets this issue.
Please try the following to check the issue:
1. Disable the security software temporarily and see if it works.
2. Reinstall the IE 11 for a test.

Stopping Genius Data from loading

I don't view Genius lists so how do I stop the data from loading?

Good Morning Vietnam!
OK soldier, give me 20 (push-ups) & read the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12142
Do you have a problem with that?
Well, I do... it's dated Nov. 5, 2013. iTunes was updated to 11.2.2 after that date wasn't it? Like in June, 2014, correct? Fuhgeddaboutit!
So I marked it as not being helpful - whatever.
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? Fasten your safety harness, cause we have some real exciting, mundane stuff comin' right at cha next.
Next I need to know if you are the only user with Admin privs for the iTunes Account; iTunes can be finicky when there several users and more than one and only one has Admin privs. You can share media but if someone whose name we won't mention thinks that they can be an Admin too, you'll have to straighten that out behind closed doors. I know, I know... this is probably is not the case. This is just boilerplate stuff we have to get out of the way... just because.
Next we have the 'safe boot' approach. That's when you shut down completely and then start the machine up while holding down the shift key until you finally get to Safe Mode (it takes longer to start up doing this because the system is clearing certain caches & making sure some other things are ok). But once you get there, it usually indicates that (in red letters) right on your sign-in screen.
So after you sign in, you simply try to open iTunes. No wait! LOL! There is no sound in Safe Mode but what we are doing by starting up iTunes - in addition to the aforementioned, is trying to rule-out any conflicts with any 3rd part software that may be interfering with iTunes.But the good news is that if iTunes starts which it probably will - albeit w/ no sound, then at least you know what the problem isn't.
FYI, that's how a differential diagnosis is done. Just ask this guy:
Go ahead say it... "Murph... cut to the chase will ya?!
To be honest, if none of this helps, you're best bet is checking out the iTunes threads... especially if Chris CA is around cause he's the top gun (for iTunes) & pose the question via a new thread like, "Why won't Genius go away?" He solves problems like this - bada bing bada boom.
Catch ya later, curly; thanks for the thank yous.

Stop Verizon Cloud from loading automatically

How do I stop Verizon Cloud from loading automatically whenever I turn on my desktop computer? I seldom need to use it and I don't need it hogging memory, as my computer is old and slow enough as it is. The program itself does not seem to have an option to prevent automatic loading, nor do I see it listed in msconfig when I run that. BTW, I have a Dell PC running Windows Vista.
I don't want to flat-out delete the program, as I do use it occasionally; I just don't want it loading every day.
Thanks!

I don't think there is a built-in option to restore a session but not load the last active tab in each window...
What if you switch Firefox to "Work Offline" before restoring the session? On the classic menu bar:
File menu > Work Offline
To display the classic menu bar temporarily if you ordinarily use the compact menu (orange Firefox button), you can tap the Alt key or press F10.
Of course, even if that works, it doesn't help with closing a tab and getting the deferred load of the next tab you view. Hmmm. Maybe there's an add-on for this.

how to prevent duplicate web pages from loading

<s>Hi berternie, can you describe this in more detail?
Are you saying the identical page loads in two different tabs? When does that happen -- when you click a link? or when you use a bookmark?
Or do you have multiple tabs open every time you see your home page (i.e., when you start up, open a new window, or click the home icon)?</s>
