Yahoo Webmail Blue Progress Bar Freezes adding attachments

Using Mac OS X, Leopard 10.5.6 and Apple Safari 3.2.1. There is a bug when using Apple Safari with Yahoo Webmail. Whenever you attach a file (while composing a message), the blue progress bar (fills in behind the website address window) freezes. Everything continues working, but the blue progress bar freezes abouit half way. This always happens when attaching a file. The ONLY way to get functionality back is to reset safari. Also, if you open another tab, that other tab functions correctly even if the first tab (with Yahoo) is still frozen. All updates have been applied to the computer that are available. The blue progress bar is safari's way of telling you a website is loading.

Hello,
This issue only happens when using Yahoo Webmail while using the Mac version of Safari.
Only a RESET safari returns normal operation to the blue menu bar.
Here are steps to reproduce:
1.) Login into Yahoo Webmail (The new version, not the classic version), compose a message, attach a file. The blue menu bar that fills in behind the website address will fill in about 1/2 way and stay there. You can continue to finish and send your email, but the blue bar stays frozen. If you open a new tab, the new blue progress bar works fine, but the first tab remains frozen. Again, everything is function. The only way to fix is to RESET safari.
I have tried other accounts and computers. It even happens at the local Apple retail store. Oddly enough, this issue does NOT affect the Windows XP version of Safari.

Safari Blue Progress Bar and Yahoo Webmail

I have noticed that using Safari with Yahoo Webmail yields the odd behavior that when you attach a file from your computer, the blue progress bar up in the middle of the safari window freezes at some point. Everything works, but until you reset safari, the blue bar stays frozen.

Blue Progress Bar Doesn't Finish

Greetings!
For the past three weeks, Safari has been tempermental in downloading web pages. The blue progress bar will get maybe 1/3 across and stop. No twirling ball, no freeze-up, I can stop and refresh...eventually it works. Sometimes there is no problem at all.
It seems to be affecting IE and Firefox as well. Mail has also seem to be having trouble sending messages periodically.
I've cleared the cache, history, favicons...so maybe it's something from outside of Safari??
Also, no Internet Regulating programs and I have a cable modem connection.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I've been having similar problems - thought it was just me.

How do you unstick the blue progress bar?

how do you unstick the blue progress bar? It most times, just sits there and the refresh button doesn't help.

1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

2 Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.

What happened to the blue "progress bar"?

What happened to the blue "progress bar" which was in the URL area?

Mark ~ From Safari's View menu, choose +Zoom Text Only+ — once that's been set, subsequently clicking the +Text Size+ icons will not change the size of the graphics, making it less likely that the page view will "go off screen".

Blue progress bar stop

blue progress bar stop when I try to open certain websites. Why cannot I open them? There is no message or any thing. It just stops. Other sites is without problems

Repair Permissions can be found as an option in...
Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
Or my prefered method, get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Blue Progress Bar - PLEASE

I've stayed with Safari-4 BETA where I was able to restore the blue progress bar via a terminal command. Thank goodness... I've asked twice via "bug report" to re-institute the blue progress bar, I mean couldn't they just make it an option like TWEAK did?
Here's an interesting one: You go to this site to give feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
AND SAFARI IS NOT A CHOICE FOR FEEDBACK!!!!!!
Why not?

Hi Steve
but I must admit, I'm not sure what this "Post it in the Level 4/5 lounge" means- it does sound rather 'men in black' or "X-Files" to me but if it motivates Apple-- GREAT!
Attaining Level 4 status - 8,000 points (4 bars next to name) gains access to a Lounge forum. In part, there is faster access to the Moderators, as well as a place to vet different issues affecting the forums. Nothing like a virtual hang-out joint to get a real feel for life.

Web pages start to load but blue address bar freezes.

Web pages start to load but blue address bar freezes about a third of the way across
Sometimes the page loads sometimes I will have to refresh the page. Once refreshed the page loads very quickly.
Any solutions welcome it's driving me mad!

Okay, a guess...
The page only contains some JavaScript.
I don't think the page is meant for people to view - here's the code from the page...

Blue Progress bar

If anyone out there at Apple is reading this....
It would be very nice to have the blue progress bar back in the URL line to show the progress of a page load. It can really help to determine if there is something wrong with the page rendering or if it is the sending server just being slow.
Thanks

Hi Charlie
Welcome to Apple Discussion
I agree. The Blue Loading bar is much better visually then the small dial next to the URL. With that said....
These forums are User to User based. Apple monitors the various forums, but does not necessarily respond or engage in the back and forth posts. Hence, best place to make suggestions regarding Safari is via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. Note: Apple does not respond directly to those queries/comments, however, your input is forwarded directly to the Safari team.
The alternative is to call Apple Care and make your requests or comments directly with an Apple rep.

ITunes progress bar freezes iTunes, kinda.

So I just got my HD replaced. My iTunes library file (the .xml file) became corrupted. I started a new Library. I'm now in the midst of adding new songs, not the songs that I originally had in my iTunes. What happens though anytime I edit the id3 tags for more than one mp3. So lets say I add art work to an album. The progress bar pops up and freezes. iTunes though is still responsive. I can pause music. I can select a different track. Yet, the progress bar still is shown. I've been using iTunes for years and I know this isn't possible. It won't let me CMD+Q quit the app. But if I right click in the dock and choose Quit (not force quit) the app quits fine. I can then reopen it like normal.
Let's say I go back to the album that I was adding cover art too. Half of the songs will have the cover art, the other half not. I then have to add the art one by one or I'll get that same progress bar error. This is very annoying, since I'm building my library all over again. I have to quit and re open the app multiple times. Frustrating!
I've tried a new new Library file, I tried re-installing iTunes. Same thing happens. Should I just delete the entire iTunes folder in /Library? Will that fix it?

Boot from your System install disc and run Disk First Aid and Repair permissions.

Progress Bar freeze after 4.2.1 Update - any news?

Hey Guys,
any news on the progress par freeze after the installation of 4.2.1 on the iPad?
After a horrible 8 hours(!) Backup phase, my iPad 3G 32 Gigabyte freezes after the progress bar reaches 80%. I tried to do a hard reset but it would just stuck at the same stage again after rebooting. My iPhone 4 synced just fine (5min. Backup-Phase to the max) and runs 4.2.1 without any hiccups. But the iPad, being once the love of my life, drives me MAD!!!!!
What did you do? Try to sync it again or just wait some days until the progress bar advances? I`m fed up with OS Updates for now... HEEEELLLLPPP!

Well, that didn't work. But in the process I cleaned up the folders that house my iTunes movies and music get rid of dupes, stuff I didn't want, and so on. However, I did find that I forgot to uninstall WiFi Sync before trying the upgrade. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it, rebooted, and did the upgrade. Now my iPad is back. I hadn't realized that I had to uninstall WiFi Sync to upgrade the iPad.....

Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
Any feedback regarding this?
Thanks in advance.
/Rich

Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm, I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along?? Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.

instead of refreshing into the blue screen with the startup progress

into a light gray screen with four black rectangles (bricks) across
the top of the screen. Haven't seen this described before.

all OK. Changed startup disk to 10.4.0 on a second partition, computer
boots fine. Also boots from 9.2.2 on a second internal hard drive.
The only info I see in Console is for the successful startup, but
there may be a record of the failed startups somewhere else?
Where would one look??
Planning to reinstall 10.4.9 combo from this 10.4.0 partition. Not
planning to go to 10.4.11 until everything is backed up).
Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks!
bdennehey

Update:
Reinstall of the 10.4.9 updater using 10.4.0
partition as startup disk resolved the issue,
but Safari crashed whenever it encountered
secure website "https" and it did not do
that with the previous 10.4.9 installation.
10.4.10 did not resolve the problem, but
now running the new Safari and 10.4.11
things seem OK so far.

Progress bar freezing computer on startup

I've looked through many threads, and can't find the same problem. I need to reformat my hardrive. I'm attempted to repair the disk from the install disk, and it fails and tells me to reformat the drive. When I reboot for normal start up so I can back up, I now get a progress bar that freezes part way through, and eventually just shuts my computer down. The progress bar is freezing at the same point that it the verification was freezing, so I assume it's inhibiting the start up. My question is, is there something I can do in single user mode that will let me onto my computer?

If you have tried a safe boot(power up holding the left shift key, which takes longer) if you can do this and it works do a back up. If no success, your drive may have failed, there is some recovery software out there, but it is expensive (Disk Warrior) for an example, there are others, but depending on how long it has been since your last B/U and how valuable the data is you can also go to a data recovery specialist (Killer expensive)
If no joy from above take it to an Apple Genius bar and see what they may be able to do for you, diagnosis is free.
Maybe someone else can chime in here with more advice/suggestions.
I truly wish you the best

ITunes store won't load. The progress bar freezes at about 50% and I get nothing but a white screen.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 beta 7 but this issue has been happening since I was running 9. One day I clicked on a link for an app I saw on techcrunch and it pulled up in iTunes as being in the UK store. I clicked ok and my iTunes hasn't worked since. I can log into my account but can't access anything in the store or Ping. I've googled this issue and found some similar sounding stories but none of the solutions have worked. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, turned of the itunes store in parental settings and checked "except for iTunes U", I've uninstalled apple aplication suport and installed safari and every other option I have found and nothing has worked.
Sometimes if I let it sit long enough what looks like an unstyled version of the store comes up but is completely unusable.
Just to be clear, this has been happening since before I was running any beta software or OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you gchin.
I emailed apple support and they got back to me, I did what he said and it's fixed! SOLUTION found- see below.
I said:
"I can't access the iTunes Store. When I click on it the progress bar stops at 50% and I'm left with a blank white screen (no error msg). I have uninstalled and reinstalled, run the iTunes diagnostics (it said all was ok), gone through all of the online help material and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing works. I can't sync my iphone either (stops on verifying iPhone so I think it's getting stuck on trying to contact the store). Plzz help."
They replied:
"Greetings from Apple iTunes Store Customer Support! I am ########.
