Youtube makes Safari freeze.

Whenever I try and view a youtube video, whether it is on youtube itself or on someone's myspace profile for example, the little rainbow cirlce pops up and safari appears as (not responding). Essentially Safari freezes and I have to force quit to do anything on Safari again. Anyone know a fix?

You're welcome. Glad to help.
For future reference: "Repair Permissions" is an important step after Installing or upgrading Flash.

Safari freezes when trying to watch some Youtube videos

Sometimes I hate watching videos on youtube because something is causing it to lock up with the spinning ball as soon as I click play. At first I thought it may have something to do with the footage being in HD but I can easily turn that option off. I normally will have to force quit Safari then open it again, go back to youtube, pull the video back up, then it will play fine with no issues! Why does it take that process to watch some of these videos?
Anybody else having issues with youtube and safari locking up?
Is there a workaround besides the way I have to do it when this occurs?

HI,
Most YouTube video is streamed via the Flash player plugin. Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, then reinstalling new then repair permissions.
Go here and follow the instructions. Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Probably a good idea to run the AHT is the fan situation persists. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12361787#12361787
Make sure there is enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

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.

What's wrong with YouTube on Safari!!!

Hi guys,
This is just recently!! YouTube on Safari is literally BAD EXPERIENCE!!!
When I choose to play something, it either:
- Play the first 4 seconds and repeat with a black screen
- Play 10-15 seconds as a whole clip instead of the proper lenght of the clip
- It keeps freezing my browser if a video managed to load, it gets stuck A LOT, it plays only part of it and not all of it and it just doesn't work!!
What is going on! I tried all of this uninstall Flash and reinstall and/or whatever!!!
It works smoothly on Firefox, something is wrong with SAFARI!!!
What can I do? anybody with the same issue and found out a solution!!
I can!!
Sul.

Hi ...
Quit Safari.
Really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post.
If you are running v10.7 Lion, open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
If you aren't running v10.7 Lion, start here:
If you are sure you UNINSTALLED the original Flash plugin first before reinstalling new, launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Cannot connect to YouTube or safari

My son iTouch for some reason refused to connect to YouTube and safari . Error was "cannot connect tou you tube" and on safari just spins but never connect. Odd the apppear tobe copnnect to my wireless Hub ok. Follow most of the solution but none worked for me.
I recalled a similar problem with another divice of mine and it looked like it connected but actually failed the WEP authentication.
I suggest people try and retype pas word carefully and make sure all the caps are correct. In my case I need all upper case and it worked.
Just to test I put in the wrong password and it appear to accept it, retyped it correctly and it worked. problem may be with different type od wire less hub but I suspect some reported problem are as a result of miss typing.

Not too much advice I can offer then. My iPod touch is just a week old but when I went to the wifi I didn't have to enter any details such as DNS (that doesn't sound right). I just selected the name of the router connection (the one that goes with my password for the router) and that was it. Everything else was picked up from the router.
Might it be worth your chosing the 'forget this network' option from the wifi setting (under general) on your iPod and re-establishing your wifi connection simply by chosing your own from any named wifi connections it finds and then reentering the password. You shouldn't have to do any more.

Watching youtube on safari

I am trying to watch videos on youtube with safari. When I play a video, it seems to lock everything up until the video is fully loaded. My internet speed on any other website watching any other videos is perfectly fine. Anyone have any ideas as to why Youtube videos are freezing and not functioning right when everything else is?

HI Chester...
Most YouTube content requrires the Flash plugin so try troubleshooting...
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed in Safari > Preferences > Extensions, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari

Safari freezes

Safari freezes on me...I get the spinning wheel and have to force quit. Usually happens when I am on www.myspace.com.
Several people have streaming videos, video codes on thier site...several which will not play on my computer...I dont know if that could be a cause of the problem or not. Is there a plug in I should install? Just dont know how to fix this annoying problem.

If it has something to do with the network, how many have routers? Or broadband modems?
Something that was a problem with networking on previous Mac OSes before OS X, the dreaded Mac pause. That problem was fixed with static IPs. That meant not using the automatic connection or the DHCP settings. We had to set the IP addresses manually from the list of IP addresses that were not in the list of automatically assigned IP addresses.
I did notice, when everything froze up, if I unplugged the power supply from my router, everything woke up. Which makes me think that this problem has re-arisen.
I am trying this "fix" now to see what happens.
I would have thought that this problem would have been fixed in OS X. Maybe as someone else pointed out that it is JAVAScript, that would be a shame.

After 10.9.2 update safari freezes

After the 10.9.2 update the week of April 21, Safari freezes up. I can still move the pointer but nothing else. I cannot force quit or open any other apps. I shut down the machine and when I reboot I get the gray screen. I did a safe boot, restarted and it worked until the next freeze. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At or near the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "System Version." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

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]]
Other, more technical information about these issues can be found under these Links:
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0

I hope this helps. Let me know if not.

IPhone 4S Safari freezes when switching tabs

Hi.
Mobile Safari in my iPhone 4S freezes when switching tabs. This does not happen every time Safari is running, but it happened one too many already. Safari freezes even if I only have one tab and wanted to create a new one. The app would usually freeze while doing the switch, tho it also froze just before the tabs switch. Has anyone experienced the same? Please help. Thank you.

User troubleshooting after a reset is a restore. First from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device. Remember a restore will delete data from the phone. Make sure you have everything backed up and synced to the computer before attempting the restore. If that does not help, make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar to check for hardware faults.

My iPod touch can not go to YouTube and safari

My iPod touch can not go to YouTube and safari that I bought from Target at Rosemead on 2009.
What should I do now? How to fix my iPod touch?

If you are saying that you can't connect to the internet then:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Safari freezes for a split second constantly

Hi, my safari freezes for a split second when scrolling up and down a page before resuming all the time, it also does it whilst streaming video like youtube, So its briefly starts/stops, really starting to annoy me, can anyone help?
thanks

had this come up from tech tool deluxe,
how do I find and check recently installed hardware?
Video RAM
Failed
Video RAM, as all components of your video circuitry, must be fully functional for graphics to be properly displayed. Damaged VRAM can cause missing bits, screen noise, system lock ups, or freezes. TechTool Deluxe tests the VRAM on the Macintosh main logic board, as well as some third-party video cards.
If the VRAM test should fail, try these steps in order and run the test again after each step:
o Quit all other applications.
o Restart the system.
o Check any recently-added hardware for proper installation.
o Run the computer from another volume (if available).
o Reinstall the OS.
o Contact AppleCare.

Safari "Freezing" during page loading

I have never had this problem before I downloaded Safari 4.0 in a stupid software update. While loading a page, it freezes. Safari doesn't lock up, I can still use the menus and can minimize and close the window, but the page does not show on my screen. I can access Google and these Mac forums along with a few other sites. One of which I cannot access is YouTube. It does this every time I try and load a page there. I can't think of what would cause this to happen, but it must be something to do with Safari 4. I have seen other reports of Safari freezing and crashing, but I haven't seen some that seem to be the problem I have. Is there someway to fix it on my own? Because it would be awesome, otherwise I'm just going to have to use Firefox until theres an update for it.
I even took a video of what happens when I try and access YouTube, since I know sometimes my descriptions of things can be somewhat confusing.

Safari Freezes When Uploading

I'm trying to upload some pictures to an online account I have. When I click the browse button to select pictures, the window to browse my computer disappears and Safari freezes. I can't even force quit it so I have to manually turn off my computer. Any ideas or suggestions?

HI,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Make sure Java is enabled.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
trying to upload some pictures to an online account I have
If Java was already enabled, go back to the Security tab in Safari / Preferences then click: Show Cookies.
Delete all cookies related to the site you have problems uploading images to.
Relaunch Safari and try again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting Safari from the Safari menu bar. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Try again.

ESPN YouTube crashes Safari solution?

I've noticed quite a number of people posting problems of sites such as ESPN and YouTube crashing Safari. Everyone seems to think it has to do with the amount of Flash stuff on those sites. I too was having the same problem until i tried the following:
Turn off your modem for one minute.
Restart modem.
Restart computer.
After trying this the issue was resolved on my machine. ESPN and YouTube started coming through just fine from then on. I don't know if this is just a quick fix or a permanent solution but i hope it is!

We have multiple generations of Macs on the net, and experienced this problem with YouTube, ESPN and a few other sites with the newest computer--a 24" fully-loaded iMac. The solution you offer fixed the problem. Strangely, our older Macs (including a 12" G4 Powerbook Titanium and an old 17" G4 iMac) haven't had this problem. It makes me wonder if this issue tracks to the change from the old processor to the Intel-based processor. I'm curious what others have seen.
