Why is Safari freezing my iMac

My iMac (early 2009 running OS 10.8.5) is freezing up when the screensaver is on, and so far it seems to be only when Safari is open. I have fixed disk permissions and verified the disk. I'm not sure, but this may have started happening with the recent update to Safari. Any suggestions?

Why is Safari freezing my iMac almost daily?

At least every other day, my iMac completely freezes up when I'm running Safari. I'm using the latest version of Safari and Mavericks.
When I use Firefox, there are no problems; been using it for well over a week.
I'd much rather use Safari, but not with constant/any restarts.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

Why does safari freeze on Facebook whenever I scroll to a video? This only happens in Facebook and only when I scroll to a video.

Why does safari freeze on Facebook whenever I scroll to a video? This only happens in Facebook and only when I scroll to a video.

Hello,
Most videos on the internet are played using the Adobe Flash plugin.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

Why does Safari freeze when the cursor hovers across "Bookmarks"?

Safari v 4.1
Hi,
When I move the cursor over "Bookmarks" in the menu at the very top of the window, Safari freezes for about 5 minutes. It can also freeze when the cursor is simply passing under the "Bookmarks". When I'm moving the cursor horizontally across the entire screen, I have to keep the cursor well below the top menu bar to avoid freezing Safari. Otherwise Safari is working OK. I often Force Quit" Safari when this happens, but if I wait, it will unfreeze.
This is all about hovering, not clicking.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks, Rafael

Hi Carolyn.
First, about resetting. I've never done it before, and I recall hearing—but have no direct experience—that it practically wipes the slate clean. I've built a very sophisticated Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu, and because I'm a researcher, I never erase history. When I started using Safari a long time ago, I was told by Apple to regularly erase history. Then a couple of years ago I was told by someone I trust that it's OK to keep it.
I regularly empty Cache and remove cookies.
Are these the top 5 buttons?:
1 Clear history
2 Reset Top Sites
3 Remove all webpage preview images
4 Empty the cache
5 Clear the Downloads window
I got this list from Safari Help>Resetting Safari. I'm using Safari 4.1, but I noticed that this help page referred to Safari 5 in the 'Reset Top Sites' explanation: "Reset Top Sites: … Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari 5."
As for the rest:
2 Reset Top Sites—I’ve never made use of this
3 Remove all webpage preview images—not familiar or I don’t recognize what it is.
4 Empty the cache—Fine with that
5 Clear the Downloads—window Fine with that
I’m letting you know about these details before I proceed with your instructions.
Thanks for responding,
Rafael
PS Since I'm asking about Bookmarks here, I've been meaning to find out something about my Safari Bookmarks.html that is exported, then backed up to one of my external HDs. If Safari or my computer crashes, and I re-install Safari, then import those bookmarks, are they re-created to look just as they do now in 'Show All Bookmarks'?
I have some old bookmarks (or 'Favorites' I think they were called) that, when imported (in an html format?), appeared as a long list, rather than as a neatly tiered record of folders and files.

Safari freezing on iMac

changing from one page to another Safari freezes. When goign from one url to another, sometinmes wont load. Tried everything. Any help?

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 malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Since upgrading to Lion why does Safari freeze when using an email link?

I have a 21.5 in iMac (purchased late 2009). Ever since I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 I have had problems opening links from my email. Safari is my default browser, and now I when I open a link from my Mail, the browser functions do not respond. The page freezes and does not allow me to scroll at all, nor will any of the links work for me to click on what should be an active link. When I open a new browser page, it is fine--whether Safari, Firefox or Chrome. It's just when I open from Mail.
Anyone else reporting this, and is there something I need to change to make it work? I'm not very technical with the Apple products...thanks!

Thanks again but I have no peripheral devices connected. It's very annoying whenever I close the lid the logo stays lit and the computer does not go to sleep (light on front stays solid white). Each time it happens I have to open and close the lid 3-4 times before it finally goes to sleep. It's as if the computer gets hung up trying to go to sleep.

Why are downloads freezing on iMac running 10.7.3?

I have a 2011 iMac running Lion OS X 10.7.3 and downloads are freezing part way through on both Safari and Firefox.

The iMac is ethernet hard wired to my router, which is connected to a cable modem from Time Warner.
Have you emptied your cache? (Under Safari in top Menu?) Are you running any third party addons especially things such as Little Snitch, Speed Download or anti-virus software? Have you repaired permissions using DiskUtility?

Why is safari freezing after the mavericks upgrade?

My safari keeps freezing after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday. Everytime I try to go back using 'two-finger swipe', the page freezes and I can't use the cursor to go up or down, select any links on the page etc. Anyone else experiencing any issues like this? If so, what did you do to fix it?

UPDATE to my Oct 31 post:
Within hours of my original post, I walked out of my office and dropped my macbook pro onto the parking lot asphalt. When I checked it, the screen wouldn't come on. (Maybe I shouldn't have complained about Mavericks!)
I ended up traveling 120 miles to an Apple store, where they not only repaired my screen for free, but looked at why it was running slow under Mavericks. They pointed out that I was running Sophos anti-virus for Mac and that it was no longer compatible with Mavericks. With my consent, they took it off and assured me there is no need for anti-virus software at all. I now have all my original speed and response back.
My MBP was a few months out of warranty, so I am very impressed that Apple fixed it without charging me anything, and then went on to make suggestions about how to improve its performance.

Why ipad safari freezes while other web-based apps work ok?

Hello ozziozzi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have you tried quitting the Safari app and launching it again? How about restarting and resetting the iPad?
Restart or reset iPad
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPad, forcing an app to quit, or resetting iPad.
Restart iPad. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
iPad may be low on power. Connect iPad to the USB power adapter to charge. See Charge and monitor the battery.
Force an app to quit. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then hold down the Home button until the app closes.
If you can’t turn off iPad or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPad. Do this only if you’re unable to restart iPad.
Reset iPad. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can reset the word dictionary, network settings, home screen layout, and location warnings. You can also erase all of your content and settings.

Might be the logic board and/or fans.
Check out this thread.   https://discussions.apple.com/thread/437082?threadID=437082
but I have had trouble when I first bought it, last year, and now.
Any chance it's still within the one year limited warranty? Hopefully you have the serial number written down somewhere.

Safari freezing time to time

When I use google chrome, my macbook runs fine all the time even without rebooting for a long time, but since safari has been updated in the past months, i thought i should give it a try again and after about a day of usage, it froze, just like it did a few months ago. I have to open Activity Monitor and force quit Safari, then reopen it. Now it works fine again...until it freezes again after some time. Its ANNOYING! Why isn't apple fixing this bug?? I thought Apple makes everything perfect, and Macs should Just Work, at least that's what they said in the ad campaign. That's why i switched to mac from PC.. and I'm very disappointed with 3 major bugs that I notice: menu bar gone (not accessible) after watching full screen video on safari (and also chrome) in full screen mode, safari crashing, and Messages app mixing up messages and delaying receiving messages and also giving error when sending messages after more than about an hour of not sending messages (these messages bug only happens with apple to apple chats).
Anyway, enough with my rant, this thread is for the safari freezing bug. Is there any way i can fix this and still use safari? I don't like chrome, and every other browsers, as they are not as smooth as safari. And also, i watch youtube videos in HTML5 using an extension and it works extremely well only for safari, and other browsers really lack good HTML5 video extensions. They all don't work well.
So please help me guys. Thank you!

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.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.

Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed. Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
Really annoying.
If you find a fix please, please let me know, I have just been throwing hardware at it with no joy at all

Why is my mid 2007 iMac so slow now that I've loaded 10.9.4

Why is my mid 2007 iMac so slow now that I've loaded 10.9.4? Everything seems to be slow. It was quick enough on 10.4. I now have wireless connection issues, and wired keyboard connection issues?

Hi there - thanks. No, I haven't run anything like Clean My Mac - what would you suggest?
