Why is Safari failing to work on more and more websites?

From unresponsive form boxes, to failure to respond to search requests, to working with 1Password extension, the Apple browser has stopped being effective and unresponsive on more and more websites.
I switch to Firefox and all is well. What gives?

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 disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program

why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program??
I can not select/see other outputs in my sound selector.

You have not indicated which OS or which music program you have so I have listed a program called Airfoil to try for both Windows and Mac - it may work for you

WHY is Safari failing to load pages on my late 2013 MBP retina?

I have the latest OS and Safari on my machine. Safari is not usable. Every now and then, I can go to a web page in a reasonable amount of time but, more often, the page either doesn't load (the blue shading in the address bar stops after about an inch and freezes) or the page takes several minutes to load. This computer is too new to be having these kinds of issues.....
I know the next step (according to Apple support) is to reinstall the OS, which I will do once back up is complete. Here's what I've done previously, to no avail: confirmed that there are no extensions, reset Safari multiple times, deleted the plist file from the Library, repaired disk permissions, shut down, restarted, restarted in safe mode, etc. Regarding the repair permissions - there is always a Safari permission that needs to be repaired. Same one every time. Not that repairing permissions was a fix.....
I am hoping the reinstall works but I'm frustrated that this is happening on a new, very expensive computer. I want to understand what the root cause is....any ideas about what is broken and how it got broken? Thanks.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Since the iOS7 update on my iPad 2, I am having trouble charging it if it runs all the way down, and now, my Safari won't work at all, and it locks up when I click on Safari in the Setting section. I have tried restoring, and Safari still does not work??

I cannot reset the Ipad either, Safari won't work, and it won't charge properly if the battery runs all the way down...

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Safari suddenly not working on iMac and MacBook

I've been using Safari as my main browser for years and about a week ago it just stopped working on both my iMac and MacBook.
I can open it, but it just brings up an "Untitled" screen and the progress bar stays at 1/3 on the home page I have set.
I've tried clearing the cache and the history, restarting. Nothing. I opened Firefox and it works fine. I don't mind Firefox, but I really prefer Safari so would love to figure out why this is suddenly happening.
Does anyone have any insight?

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Why would hyperlinks fail to work half-way through generated PDF?

I'm trying to create a PDF of a MS Word file using the Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF function. In the generated PDF, half-way through the file the hyperlinks stop working although they display correctly. In the source Word file, the links work fine. The Word file is heavily cross referenced and is about 14 MB. It was originally a 26MB file, but I reduced the filesize by converting the embedded graphics from embedded Visio objects to .wmf images.
My question - what would make the hyperlinks fail? Is it a system processing issue? The rest of the PDF seems fine. Note that the final PDF also contains bookmarks. All other PDFs I generate work correctly.
System Details:
Word 2003
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional
Windows XP, Version 2002, SP2
789 MHz, 3GB RAM
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just in case, I would suggest updating your Acrobat. You have to install the updates in order, but AA7 is currently at 7.1.2. The updates are available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. Version 7.0.1 is a very early version. The latter versions (7.1.x) were primarily security updates. The 7.0.x updates were fixing a lot of the bugs.

WHY DOESNT KEY BOARD EXPRESS WORK ANY MORE WITH FIREFOX?? I HOST TOURS AND NOW IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL I HAVE TO USE CROME FOR THEM TO WORK

I USE KEY BOARD EXPRESS TO RUN TOURS FOR A GIN LEAGUE I BELONG TO. AS A HOST FOR GIN GAMES I USE THIS TO RUN MY RULES ECT FOR THE GAMES I AM SETTING. ALL WORKED WELL UNTIL LAST WEEK I CANT USE THEM BECAUSE THEY DONT WORK. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK I HAVE TO USE CROME. WHY DOESNT MY MICROS WORK ANYMORE ???

First, just a note that writing in all caps is considered shouting. Please don't shout at the volunteers.
Can you give me an example of one or two of the macros that aren't working?
Does Firefox not respond at all, or is the wrong thing happening in Firefox?
Does Keyboard Express run purely externally (just sends hotkeys to Firefox) or does it have an add-on? You can check to make sure any add-ons are enabled on the Add-ons page. Here's how:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins.
If anything here is related to Keyboard Express, trying change it from "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate". This might not take full effect until the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
(2) In the left column, click Extensions.
If an extension is disabled, it appears at the end of the list on a gray background. If you find one related to Keyboard Express, you can use the Enable button to re-enable it. If Firefox will not allow that, you may need to update the extension.

Click to Flash extension to Safari fails to work

Using OX 10.9.4 on a new mac mini. I have installed Click to Flash extension to Safari 7.0.6 . I would like to avoid using any Flash.When a page comes up with a Flash the extension does not open the page or photo. I have reinstalled the extension a couple of times but still no success. How can you uninstall an extension? I appreciate any suggestions.
Youncled

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
You can uninstall ClickToFlash from there.
There have been numerous complaints about ClickToFlash not working well with recent versions of Safari.

Why is the pathfinder not working any more ? Too many nodes ?

Hi there, I use Illustrator CS5 for geographical purposes and use to make maps.
I'm making a huge and detailled map for about 6 months and discoverd last week that the pathfinder (the tool I use the most) does not want to work anymore.
In this exemple :
[url]http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4606/help1f.png[/url]
I wan't to soustract the white shape of the yellow shape but whatever I do, it won't work.
The yellow shape is quite complex and have A LOT of nodes (I hope it's the correct name in english). Why don't you look at this unzoomed screen to check it out :
[url]http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/5958/help2q.png[/url]
Is it possible that I've reached a limit where i cannot use the pathfinder because my shape is too complicated ?
Help me please because I'm stuck and cannot do anything anymore and I'm only at 30% of all I have to do with this map.
Thank you all.

@Jacob Bugge :
Thanks for the advice. I've ust found out how to count my anchor points. The path used to have 30.000 anchor points and I discoverd that when cutting it, the pathfinder worked for a bit, and now I'm back to ~30.000 (31.986 exactly) and it stopped working again.
Yes i use a single path at a time to use the pathfinder.
@Monika Gause :
When I click on the small icon for soustraction (substraction?), nothings happens at all. No error message. No lag or frozen screen. Just the normal way as if the pathfinder worked but unfortunately it doesn't...
Thanks for your advices anyway

Why does javascript fail to work at gmail on IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 systesms?

Sorry about asking this question again; but I have not gotten a responce
in over 6 months.
Both firefox 3 and seamonkey 2 seem to have the same problem
on IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 systems.
If I try to login to gmail using their standard method (Not HTML)
I can not select any folder. If I select a folder firefox hang.
I just see a message saying "Loading".
I am also experiencing problems when I access my financial
institutions (Online banking!).
I believe the problem is in the javascript implementation.
Not sure about gmail; but I do know that the problem at
my financial institusions sites has to do with executing
a javascript.
"I really need some help. firefox and seamonkey are the
only browsers that have been ported to my systems."
If some one can tell me where to look or what is causing the
problem I can submit a problem report to IBM and have them
fix the problem in their version of firefox. So far IBM has not
been able to figure out what is causing the problem.
I really should upgrade to firefox 3.6.18 and seamonkey 2.0.14; but
I can not find a working version. The only thing that works on my
system is firefox 2.0.0.20 and seamonkey 1.1.18. I keep getting security warning when I uses these browsers.
I really would appreciate some help!

Can you start in Firefox safe mode? See [[Safe Mode]]

Why font styles fail to work

I am using Windows 7. In Indesign 5.0 some fonts do not appear with their styles. For example, a particular font has 4 variants (Normal, Bold, Bold Italic and Italic). But only one style appears in Indesign.
I have tried to put all the four fonts in Indesign > fonts folder also. Yet it fails.
Can anybody help.

"SwitzerlandCondensed", on the other hand, sounds like a cheap copy -- or even a ripped-off version (of, possibly, a cheap copy).
Cheap Copiers don't take the time and effort to fill in all required fields necessary to uniquely identify fonts and still maintain proper linkage between its variants. InDesign is very careful in accepting such fonts, and if there is reason not to use it, it won't show up in ID's font list. (But even then it's known to sometimes choke on such malformed fonts.)
Only with some very careful and time-consuming cross-checking of every single parameter in the fonts you could solve this -- and to "repair" it needs a deep knowledge of the font file format. For this case, I simply would not bother:
Advice #1: don't use any such fonts.
Advice #2: don't attempt to use this font in particular. You've already found reasons not to.

Why is Safari 5.1.2 so slow and freezing constantly with Lion???

After the last software update, Safari has been acting strange. It slowed down enormously (I keep on getting the colored beach ball) and it freezes many times for lots of seconds. I've tried other browsers and they don't have the same problem.

First, if your system is up to date, you should have Safari 5.1.3 and Mac OS 10.7.3.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

SSL certificate not valid in Safari, but webservice works with Chrome and Firefox

As a MD, I'm used to check blood results online on the service
https://inet.zentral-labor.ch/c16/kunweb.dll - this is the online-portal of my laboratory medica in Zurich. http://www.medica.ch
Access to the loginscreen is public ;-) and should look like this (Screenshot from Firefox)
I've setup a new workstation 3 weeks ago (iMac with OS Lion 10.7.4), and this webservice service works fine till yesterday. Now, Safari is every time we try to reach the service telling us, that this service needs a certificate, we can choose only a default apple certificate
and then, the error is:
This Site needs a valid SSL-Client-Certificate... (Screenshot below)
What's wrong with Safari? With Chrome and Firefox, the webservice works fie without any problems.
Thanks for an advice

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.
