Webpage lock...

Question for Macbook Pro users... In regards to "two-finger scrolling" using an internet browser (Safari or Chrome), let's say you're on a webpage that is fully expanded to the left and right (even in full screen mode). When you two-finger scroll horizontally, it reveals this "grey space" underneath that the webpage is "floating on" (for lack of a better term).
I find this to be pretty annoying and obnoxious because there's really no way you can always slide your fingers perfectly straight up and down. I find when I'm reading an article and scrolling along, the page will pull diagonally one way or the other if I'm not scrolling super slow or absolutely perfectly up or down.
Does anyone know of a way to make it so the webpage will lock into whatever size window you happen to have? There is absolutely no point for being able to pull the page any further than within the frame of the window...

This is a bug and it's caused when you swipe between pages with two fingers.
How to fix:
Quit Chrome.
Open System Prefences.
Choose View > Trackpad, or click Trackpad.
Click the More Gestures tab.
Disable "Swipe between pages".
Restart Chrome.
Additional Information
If you own an Apple Magic Mouse, I would also disable the same gesture within the Mouse preferences pane.

All Firefox tabs and windows lock up when a single tab can't download a file (video, pdf, etc.)

If I am trying to load a webpage that contains a video, pdf file, or other large file, sometimes the webpage locks up, and then ALL other Firefox windows and tabs lock up as well (the entire program is frozen). This doesn't happen with IE or Chrome (in Internet Explorer, even though a tab may lock up from loading a large file, the other tabs and windows are still useable). Is there some kind of pluggin I can install to prevent this from happening?

Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.
However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).
Any ideas?
Thanks

CS3 Lockup in Design View

I'm having an issue with my webpage locking up Dreamweaver
every time I try to open it in Design View.
I can open it with no problem in Code View, but as soon as I
try to switch to Design, I get the Spinning Beach Ball of Death.
Worked fine until I upgraded to Leopard....Any ideas?
Page can be viewed at www.bobasbounty.net

I have this same issue on Windows XP SP2.
I have narrowed the issue down to when a large amount of CSS
is being used to display content on the page. If I do a simple page
the Desigtn View renders the page quickly without issue. Once I add
a lot of CSS elements it can take up to two minutes to render the
page in design view.

This is the iPad forum. What you are describing with your specs is a iMac not an iPad.
If this is occurring on an iPad then here is some info:
This is happening because of bad ads on that site. These ads are designed to randomly redirect mobile device users to other sites. It has nothing to do with your iPad. The random nature of the re-directs is intended to confuse the user and keep this garbage below the radar.
Turning OFF Javascript (not Java - the iPad doesn't even run Java) bypasses the problem because the mechanism implementing the redirects uses Javascript. This is not really a solution, however, because turning Off Javascript affects all sites and will certainly cause problems.
Complain to the original site to get these ads removed.

Since I update the latest Firefox download, I do see a secure lock symbol for webpages that have always been secure. Why is this? How can I be sure my info is not exposed to everyone?

Why the secure lock does not appear on webpages since I updated the latest Firefox download last week?

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

Send webpage stopped working and locking up Microsoft Oulook 2007

My system details, HP Ultrabook laptop, Windows 8, internet explorer 10, Micosoft outlook 2007
Until yesterday, the "send webpage by email" button in "Page" tab on Internet Explorer 10 worked perfectly. Today when the "send page by email" is pressed or "send link" by email, it has no effect other than to
lock up Outlook 2007 and prevent it from starting until I reboot the laptop
Any help please?
thanks

Hi,
I agree with Rob, please test this issue in another brower or just directly sent webpage in outlook 2007 rather than IE, Open Outlook 2007. Navigate to
View ““ Toolbars ““ Web. Use the Search toolbar (located on the right) to go to the desired URL, Once the page loads, click on
Actions ““ Send Webpage by Email".
Please also make sure the default mail program as described by Rob, meanwhile, temporarily launch IE in no add-ons mode by running the following command, check the result.
iexplore.exe -extoff

5 minute Auto-Lock not engaging on certain webpages

Hi Apple Support Forums,
I have been testing iPads in our organisation for a few weeks now, and one of our iPad users discovered a fairly major bug in iOS 4.2
If:
(Mobile)Safari is left open with either: adelaidenow.com.au or theaustralian.com.au (and possibly other News Corporation newspaper sites, but not news.com.au)
Auto-Lock is set to 5 minutes (as per our organisations MobileConfig passcode settings)
iPhones and iPads will not lock. The screen will not even dim, even after the auto-lock time has expended.
This was discovered when one of our users left adelaidenow.com.au running on an iPad on a table and left it to answer a phonecall. The device had not locked after their phone call.
Procedure to reproduce:
I opened Safari on the iPad and accessed adelaidenow.com.au. I let the page load (while providing input, moving finger) and then stopped interacting with the ipad. (left idle).
I set up a stopwatch and verified that after 7 minutes it had not locked.
The device had been idle for 7 minutes without input and had not already locked.
To verify that it was not Safari (the app, not the web page) that was not preventing lock, I loaded au.yahoo.com (while providing input) and then left it idle.
After 5 minutes the screen locked. (as expected)
I then loaded www.theaustralian.com.au and left it idle.
I step a stopwatch going and after 6 minutes it had not locked.
I tested this against http://au.yahoo.com and http://abc.net.au/news and the iPad/iPhone will lock as expected.
I believe that cause for this is that newsCorp is using a custom refresh script in javascript, rather than a standard META REFRESH tag. Somehow this javascript is fooling iOS into thinking that the device is not idle.
This is a fairly major security hole, as the device is violating a locked-down MobileConfig.
Could others test this and find any other sites that prevent iOS from auto-locking?

I cannot tell if I am browsing a webpage securely, there is no "lock image" anywhere on the page.

Hey! Not really having problems, the only issue is I cannot tell when or if I am browsing a website securely or not. I just upgraded to 5.0.1 recently and enjoy it very much. On the older version of FF that I had (I'm not sure what version specifically) an image of a lock would appear when I was browsing on a secured area of a website, for example, when I would access my banking or student financial information. I cannot find that image anywhere so I thought it prudent to ask. Thanks very much.

I have thousands of favorites and Firefox is my web-browser of choice. Sadly I'm backed up on what bookmarks I have stored and if the websites are still active or not.
I cannot load more than 15 bookmarks it seems at once as my PC is trying to load all the web content for each page in the new tabs.

I have continually waited and it says Firefox is not responding and I may be able to see the multiple tabs opened in my browser but cannot navigate or access them.
I have read on various sites that users have had as many as 1500 bookmarks load at once in tabs in the Firefox browser version that are outdated.
I have not been successful with just loading 50 bookmarks my goal is to be able to have 500 tabs loaded in firefox with webpage loading stopped on all of them. I will choose reload for about 10 tabs at a time to view webpage content and then close and move on to the rest.
My ultimate goal is to clear up the Thousands of bookmarks I have piling on for the past 6 years and some are duplicates or similar page sites.
Their is no Firefox 3rd party addons that I could locate that would allow this. Only to restrict the number of tabs loaded by giving warning messages when limit is reached.
Please assist me as it will greatly help me with finally deleting and re-organizing my Favorite and frequent websites in my Browser of choice Firefox.
The email is generic for privacy but it is valid please respond with methods on how I can achieve my request or suggestions on how I can modify my browser or PC settings to allow this. Thanks Firefox Administration Team.
I edited with a recent Workaround added to Troubleshoot section.
If there is a keyboard shortcut or easier way to do this would someone please let me know?

Firebug is notorious for causing problems like you described.
Disable it when you don't need it or install it in a 2nd Profile. Then you can launch the 2nd Profile separately to use Firebug and not affect what you are doing in the 1st Profile,

New hard drive - dont want to lose my webpage

Recently had to replace hard drive - lost everything - if you're reading this, pause 1 minute and back up all your pics and videos. Anyway, my webpage is still on .mac, but no info on iweb. Is there way to download from .mac back to iweb? I am worried if i create a new page within iweb and upload, i will then lose all my old pages - is that true? Is there a way to lock old page created and start over but not lose the old pages? thx for help, and if you didnt already backup your pics and videos!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately there is no way to import a published site back into iWeb. You will have to recreate it from scratch. But you can use the existing files in the online site to help recreate it in iWeb. See this page for more information: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebRetrieveWebsite.html.

System lock ups

lately i've been having a lot of system lockup problms.. you know the ones where that spinning rainbow balls shows up on the screen. you know i never had a problm running adiumx firefox and itunes at the same time, but lately i don't know if its the updates or what, but i'm getting a lot of lock ups, to the point where i can't play videos on itunes, or quicktime without it freaking out and freezing every couple seconds, or when trying to load firefox it take 10 15 secs, and then forever to actually get to a webpage, i do notice when i turn of growl i don't have as many problms, any suggestions.
powerbook g4
mac os x 10.4.8
1ghz processor
512mb ddr sdram
80 gig hd
dvd/cd-rw
got all the latest mac updates, and updates of most of the softwares i have on this computer
12" in powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

teckie:
RAM can very likely be a part of your issue. If your 12" PB is one of the last 3 models it came with 256 MB of RAM. Considering the issues you are having you should consider maxxing it out to 1.25 GB.
ali b. mentioned your HDD. If your HDD has less than 10-20% free space it can contribute to the issue you are experiencing. It also increases the risk of directory issues, consequent data loss and even a crashing HDD.
Thirdly, I am not sure what maintenance procedures you use. But you should consider at least running Unix Maintenance scripts using a utility like MacJanitor, and doing Directory repairs and replacement with a utility like Disk Warrior. In addition, if you have not booted from your install disk and run Repair Disk recently, I suggest you do so.
Take a look at Gulliver's article on Mac OS X Maintenance for some very helpful tips and resources: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640

Random lock ups on my 17" 1.33....please help!

Well ive had my powerbook 17" for probably about 6 months and every so often it just decides to lock up forcing me to hold down the power button to reset it. Im not doing any heavy task i could be doing anything really, browsing a webpage or just chatting on aim. Ive used cocktail many times to try and fix it with no luck in fixing it. I really would rather not install a fresh copy of os x since i have everything just how i like it but this is just getting old. I had a 14" ibook and that thing never locked up once. This isn't like a mac and i was wondering if anyone had a solution or suggestion out there. Thanks in advance.
Ty

In order to isolate the cause of these lock downs it is going to be necessary for you to backup your data first. Please let us know when this is done, and we can proceed?

Please help! Major problems (performance and lock-ups) with brand new W520 with Intel 520 SSD

My company primarily uses HP machines but I've been a long time IBM (now Lenovo) fan so I recently had IT purchase me a new Lenovo W520 (product ID 42763LU).
Once the machine arrived I had them do the following:
Remove the 500GB HDD and replace it with an Intel 520 series 240GB SSD
Remove the optical drive and install the 500GB hard drive that came with the machine in the optical bay (with the bay adapter of course)
Format both drives and put a preconfigured windows 7 64-bit image on the SSD
A general summary of the system is the following:
Intel i7-2860QM CPU
8GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro 1000M
Intel 520 240GB SSD (primary HDD) [SSDSC2CW240A3]
Hitachi 500GB HDD (optical bay) [HTS727550A9E365]
Intel Advanced-N 6205 network adapter
TouchChip Fingerprint Scanner
The machine was a few days delayed getting to me due to "hard drive driver issues" (that's what I was told). When I received the machine I immediately noticed that it was much slower than I expected (I have a custom built i5 HTPC at home running windows 7 on a Crucial SATA III SSD that I was comparing it to) and I was experiencing frequent hangs (ranging from 30 seconds to multiple minutes), super long boot times, general “slowness” at times, and occasional lock-ups. Since our "baseline" laptop here at work is the "equivalent" HP workstation my IT guys have been less than helpful in helping me to solve this issue. Being reasonably computer savvy I decided to try to try to fix the issue myself. I performed the following “troubleshooting” steps:
1. One of the first issues (errors) I noticed in the event viewer was errors related to the optical drive. Clearly the image they installed on the machine was not from a machine with the same hardware configuration. So, I decided to just wipe the machine and perform a fresh install of windows 7 from the disks (well, USB). After spending multiple days installing windows, performing updates, making sure all the drivers were current, and installing only the critical software I need, I was disappointed to realize that although I fixed the optical drive errors the machine was still slow, was hanging, and locking up regularly.
2. Removed the cover on the machine and removed/reinstalled the drive to verify it was secure.Everything looked good.
3. Verified the latest firmware is installed on all my Intel hardware. Everything seemed up to date.
4. I performed a number of troubleshooting steps like booting the machine with/without the battery, with/without the HDD in the optical bay, installed/removed from the docking station, etc. and none of these things helped (also a note – occasionally when running on the battery I was hearing a strange “buzz” or “static” sound coming from the area around the SSD).
5. Next I did some internet research and learned quite a few things. First, it sounds like others have had similar problems with this machine and/or SSD combo and there were quite a few options suggested to “fix” these issues. The general consensus for troubleshooting steps were:
5.1. Download and install the latest Intel chipset drivers and AHCI controller drivers (overwriting whatever windows installs during updates).This didn’t fix anything.
5.2. Turn off PCI express link state power management in the power manager. This didn’t fix anything.
5.3. Disable superfetch, prefetch, indexing, defragmentation, page file, system restore, and hibernate. A few of these were already disabled by windows so in those cases I just verified they were disabled in the services and application editor. These things may have slightly increased performance but did not fix the major hang/lockup issues I was having.
5.4. I followed online steps to edit the registry to disable the PCI link power management by adding ports, adding the required variables, and setting them all to 0. This did seem to have fixed the hangs and/or lock-ups but the machine is still much slower than I would expect (boot times are still pretty slow and it does “stutter” when I’m doing more than one thing at a time. Also a note here – I have the Intel SSD toolbox installed and I noticed that it was giving me a warning for DIPM not being optimized. I made the mistake of clicking “Tune!” and then started having the hang/lock-up issues again. I went back into the registry and sure enough the PCI link power management variables for ports 0 and 1 were set back to 1. I set them back to 0 and the hangs have gone away. I will not be “tuning” the DIPM through the Intel SSD toolbox again…
6. I also fixed a couple of other minor errors I was seeing in the event viewer by disabling benign services and/or making slight timeout modifications (I researched each issue on the internet to verify they were benign before I implemented any changes). These fixes didn't seem to do anything other than make some of the errors/warnings go away. So, the list of errors/warnings has become much smaller but I’m still getting the following (maybe an issue, maybe not?):
Event ID 37 for every processor saying that they are in a reduced performance state for xx seconds since the last report
Event ID 10002 - WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
Event ID 4001 - WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped
Event ID 27 – Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection link is disconnected
I suspect the WLAN errors have something to do with windows fighting with the Lenovo access connection tools?
7. Since the machine still seemed slow I downloaded the program AS SSD and checked the performance of the SSD. When I compared my performance numbers to the benchmark numbers I found onlineI was very surprised to discover that I’m getting about 50% of the performance that I should (values below are read/write).
Seq: 262.11 / 188.32 (s/b 504.58 / 298.28) [MB/s]
4K: 15.83 / 44.92 (s/b 21.70 / 62.60) [MB/s]
4K-64Thrd: 165.23 / 154.46 (s/b 241.38 / 234.08) [MB/s]
Acc.time: 0.218 / 0.294 (s/b .0186 / 0.208) [ms]
Score: 207 / 208 (s/b 314 / 327)
Overall Score: 533 (s/b 797)
One more note - it seems like my cooling fan is running at a high speed almost all of the time. This is probably one of my power settings (I think I have it set for max performance) but it's even doing this when there is no load (i.e. I'm using IE and just vieweing webpages - like right now).
So, I apologize for such a long post but I’ve spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this problem and haven’t been able to figure out what the heck is wrong here. Am I missing something simple or do you guys think I have a SSD and/or problem with the machine itself? To say that any and all help would be greatly appreciated would be a massive understatement – I’m on the verge of pulling my hair out and I really need this machine working as quickly as possible!
Please let me know if you have any suggestions and/or need additional information. Thanks in advance for your help!
-Erik

Lol gotcha about the drive as an option. I didn't go SSD with mine. Do you have the latest firmware on your drive? It is supposed to be v1.97. Just checking (ah and I see item 3 so guess so). Do you have the SSD drive toolbox software installed?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Solid+State+Drives+and+Cach...)
Seems some useful tools are in there. I can't say much beyond that with the drive. Oh. Why does your fan always run at high speed? Can you describe that? I mean, are we troubleshooting the right kind of issue? Is there anything else going on with your system? I saw about the reduced core speeds message. what are your system loads like? Anything causing high cpu utilization? Could be something other than the drive causing your low numbers and lockups.

Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)

Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina. I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem. Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups. Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black. About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space. Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button. This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps. I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days. I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September. The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly). This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
How can I fix these problems, especially the first?

UPDATE:
Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
The search for solutions continues.
