After I installed 10.5.8. Ithought the beachball issues were gone. Yesterday I update Safari and it's a mess! Every few minutes Beachball and Beachball again. BTW I have the standard 250GB HDD.
View 6 RepliesI can turn on my mac, the beach ball starts spinning and stays spinning for awhile, finally starts up but then quickly shuts back down? I have never encountered this type of problem with my desktop before! I have checked all the power supplies and reset the powercord, I unplugged the computer and tried to reboot it to no avail. Does anyone know how to do the type of reboot where you hold down the power button and two keys (?) wait for the 2nd chime then let go of the keys? I believe that is how it's done.

Is there a way to get Safari to update if you mistakenly said "skip this update" when it became available?

Like the title says since Snow Leopard when I go to websites with a flash video player built in it beachballs my internet browser endlessly until I force quit. It is very frustrating. I have reinstalled flash player many times. Youtube works fine, but Hulu is impossible to watch. This makes a good portion of websites I visit not even functional.

Safari 3.2.1 on MacOS 10.5.6.
Lately (last few weeks) Safari has been really sluggish loading pages. Any pages. I've used 5.1.7, downgraded to 5.1.5 which helped for a few days only. Pages do eventually load. Other apps seem fine. I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility, which didn't help. Chrome works fine, other apps work fine.

I recently had to initialize the HD and restore from Time Machine, so I'm thinking I screwed something up then. what piece of Safari-related software could be missing or misplaced that would make pages load VERY slowly in Safari, but eventually load?

I have both Safari and Firefox browsers. I prefer Firefox, but for downloading stuff I use Safari, but my question is, Why does the spinning beach ball of death keeps on popping up throughout the whole time I use Safari? Does this happen to all of you?

Quite a while back, I switched from Firefox back to Safari, because Firefox was driving me crazy with it's intermittent freezes and whatnot. Safari was so much faster and allowed tabbing to menu form fields (which I think Firefox still does not do). But lately, it seems like Safari just slogs through everything it tries to do. Google maps is painful. Loading up the CBS website earlier took over a minute, and not because of a slow connection.
The spinning beachball now appears on every click it seems. This is was Safari 3, so I updated to Safari 4 beta, and it doesn't seem much better. It's odd because it didn't used to be like this...It just sort of started out of nowhere. One thing I do notice is that my hard drive is just churning away with activity at these times. Any ideas what could cause such random slowdowns? Restarting does not help. It's just as slow afterward.

I don't know what my wife did to her 13" white MacBook, but Firefox is slow as molasses. Safari is working perfectly, but all of her bookmarks are in Firefox. I made sure she was on the correct network, than added opendns settings to DNS. I downloaded and installed the most recent Firefox and repaired permissions on the drive. I rebooted - same problem. Random beachballs causing the app to be useless. Safari works perfectly, so it's not an Internet issue. I haven't tried other apps to be sure but right now it seems confined to Firefox.

I changed my Mac to log in with my iCloud password, which I also recently changed. This is when things went... crazy.
• Upon reboot, my Keychain password will not work. No password I give Keychain will work.
• Safari just sits there with the beachball. Force-quit shows Safari as "Not Responding."
• Launchpad will not accept keyboard input
I've repaired the drive and preferences. No change.
For what it's worth, another account on the same machine does NOT exhibit these issues.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently bought my Macbook Pro and have been absolutely loving it. Yesterday I ripped some of my dvd's using mac the ripper onto my computer. For some reason when I attempt to open "shutter island" under file>open dvd media, the movie will stutter at the beginning and then play. The only problem is the dvd player will lock up and i will get the spinning beachball any time I move the cursor over the application, remote control for it, or the menu bar at the top of the screen. Because of this I am not able to put the movie in full screen, minimize it, pause it, fast forward it, etc. I dont know if it makes much of a difference, but the app version is 5.3.

Ive ran multiple different types of terminal searches for this "flashback" Trojan worm/virus that's going around. I've also searched for com.apple.systempreference.plist and it's not in there at all. I've done safe mode and everything else. I do not have a wallpaper HD lite, I am OUT of options, and I really don't want to have to re install Lion. Can someone PLEASE tell me something, other than those options?

How do I update safari

Just plugged in my external and time machine says its backing up 14.92 GB...seems awfully small.
Does it only back up whatever has changed since the last update?
has anyone else noticed that the new safari update has made the program slower when loading pages? notably, the end of the page takes a second or two to load (whereas before it was much much quicker), and it will beachball for a sec as it finishes?
View 19 Replies View RelatedI did an update on Safari a few days ago, and ever since I'm having trouble getting pages to load. It will load some of the information on the pages but not all of it, the pictures are the main part it won't load, and it just fills them in with a question mark. The current Safari I have is 5.1.7.

After the new iTunes Update this week, the update deleted my personalized music playlists, went back to the default playlists, and all the albums I deleted doubles of songs are all back since the new update! Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back through and reorganize my entire library by hand again? It still shows up on correct on my iPhone, it's just on my mac that I'm having the issue.
P.s. iTunes comment: I don't like how if an album has multiple artists on different songs, iTunes separates the album's songs and shows them separated in the Albums list. I have an album to listen to the ALBUM, not separated by artists. Is there a setting or something to change that?

You move the mouse over to the scroll bar, favorites bar, minimize, etc... and the mouse is stuck in the wrong icon, be it the text pointer, hand pointer, window resize pointer... when it should be the arrow. It is such an obvious bug and I can't believe Apple hasn't noticed this.

My safari v 5.1.7 hangs while trying to open iys homepage (ie. Yahoo) after a system update. Currently system version is 10.6.8 I have tried various methods such as emptying cache, reset safari and update DNS Servers in the Network. And none works.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI updated safari (and now I did OSX, and its still slow) and performance is slow, unpredictable and randomly dies. The network is perfect though and this issue does not happen in transmission.
View 2 Replies View RelatedToday a new auto-update came up and I ran it - it included a tweak to 10.7.3 as well as Safari and a few others. My Safari (5.2) got completely trashed. Will not even open any more - all it does is crash immediately upon launch. I have a Time Machine backup from about 40 minutes earlier I can recover from if needed. Meanwhile I'm lucky I have a MacBook Pro as well, and am able to get online while I am completely restoring Lion from a patchstick.
I'll post the crash report (I copied and saved it) once I get back up.Incidentally, I've been getting a lot of crashes in Mail as well. Always when the computer is asleep. Anyone else having these problems - or have a solution?
