All three of my browsers (Opera 10.10, Firefox 3.5.6, Safari 4.0.4) crash repeatedly when accessing www.nytimes.com (most common site). I am running OSX 10.5.8 on an iMAC G4 with 768MB RAM. I ran Onyx and repaired the permissions but to no avail. Other websites have failed but the nytimes site causes instantaneous failure.
For some reason, both Safari and FoxFire are crashing on my IMac. I am using the smaller EMac keyboard on that machine and last night, in an attempt to get the DVD drive open some of the F# buttons were pushed. This resulted in a hard boot from the power switch. Now both browsers blow up as soon as you try to do anything with them. I verified and repaired permission both from the HD and from the system disk and verified and repaired the disk as well but the problem still exists. I also unplugged and rebooted the ethernet router, but none of these steps have made any difference. What can I do now to fix teh situation?
Over the past month Lion has been crashing, running slow and freezing constantly.\ I am not used to having so many PC type issues on my Mac. I have done Disk repair in utilities and removed unecessary programs at start up.
Some time ago my Safari and Firefox sites stopped opening PDF's in 10.6.8. I went to a genius who said there were no viruses, but he couldn't figure out what to do. Today, I upgraded to 10.7.4; but I still have the same problem on my MAcBook Air. I would hate to have to erase my drive and reinstallnOS 10.6 and 10.7 and all other programs

I think since I updated my mac OS X lion 10.7.2 to 10.7.3. I cannot open YouTube no matter the browser I use it's always the same, so I checked my flash player version and I have the latest one so I don't think the flash player is the problem, I don't know what to do.
All of my browsers, Safari 4.05, Chrome 5.0.375 and Mailplane, freeze upon going to certain sites or when I check my mail. Like, when I go on Youtube, it would freeze on the huge banner ad, yet when I'm linked to a video and go to it, it doesn't freeze and the video plays back fine. Email doesn't work either, both GMail and Yahoo Mail. And it doesn't work on my mail application Mailplane. And sites like [URL] both freeze up.
All of my browsers keep freezing up after 5 minutes or so of use. The time amount is very random really. This is true for firefox, chrome, camino, and I think safari. After I quit I usually have to force quit and trying to reopen brings the "already open" error.I know to delete .parentlock to restart but they just freeze again. Not sure if it's my recent OS update or something else. All broswers are up to date.
I have tried 3 of them. Firefox, Flock and Safari. All seem to crash after 3 minutes or so but can last up to 10. It started happening when i was watching some videos on Youtube and then when i went to go and watch another it wouldnt load it up. And since then i have came across this problem. I tried phoning Apple but at �35 just to fix this seems a bit steep. does anyone have any ideas?
Everytime I try to visit a webpage with content that isn't only text i get the hourglass and have to force quit both firefox and safari. What can I do to Fix This?
I have a new 13" macbook pro. I updated to the new flash and now every time I go to a page that contains flash, my browser crashes. I've tried on safari, firefox and I'm currently on Chrome. I have no idea what to do. Everything else works fine it's just when I go on a site containing flash it crashes. I wanted to watch a stream from ustream and every time I went on the site it crashed. I've never been on that site, but I'm guessing they use flash. So, I downloaded the latest flash and now it's even worst. What do I do? The program actually freezes, but I can't do anything so I have to force quit it. Except Chrome I only need to exit the tab, I think.
This just started happening randomly as of an hour ago or so. I can't even open the YouTube webpage fully, open Hulu Desktop or watch a video on Hulu without my browsers instantly freezing and forcing me to Force Quit and restart them. Any idea on why this is happening? Obviously I can visit other websites fine.
1 - I have a Macbook (2.0ghz Late 2008/Early 2009 Uni-Body Aluminum). Whenever I go to my school and try to log into their wireless network, I can't, only on OSX though. Whenever I go to bootcamp and get on Windows 7, it connects perfectly. What it usually does, on both OS, is that it takes me to a login page, by "Cisco" or whatever and I type in our school wireless username and password; On Windows 7, it logs on and I browse. On Snow Leopard, when I click submit, it just reloads that same page and I can't browse. Any help?
2 - Safari and Firefox keep freezing on Snow Leopard, mainly Safari. It used to work perfectly, then a couple of months ago it started freezing after opening a new tab. It doesn't just freeze the browser, it freezes the whole Macbook. Any help with this? I have Apple Care, will they do anything about this?
i am seriously having problem with my browsers.every time i go to like for say the main page of youtube, or someones myspace page firefox and safari stop responding (try going to it on either). then i try opera and i can't even view it, but it doesn't crash, because i can't figure out how to get the latest flash player. im thinking flash might be doing something to both browsers. i mean its getting ridiculous im talking about close to 25 stop responding from both browsers today alone. its been like this for a couple days.
Yesterday, a web site that I use frequently suggested that I upgrade my Flash Player and gave me a link to do so. Ever since I downloaded and installed the new version, any time the Flash starts to load, the browser crashes.
I downloaded the Uninstall for Flash, unintalled it, restarted from my Install Disc and repaired the permissions as suggested. Then I restarted, installed the new version of Flash Player (with all browsers off!) but as soon as I accessed a web site and needed to use Flash, the browser crashed (both Safari and Firefox). Is there a solution or am I just out of luck now?
Late this morning on my iMac 24" with 10.6.2 it didn't matter whether I was using Safari or Foxfire the would both freeze and I get the maddening beach ball and have to force quit. Any ideas why this would suddenly start happening? I haven't done any thing special to the iMac as far as memory or anything. My laptop isn't doing it, just the iMac.
My White MacBook 4,1 (summer 2008) has recently started to have big problems when I watch on-line video from within a browser. What happens is:
-Launch browser (same behaviour with Firefox, Safari, Opera) -Watch video -Video behaviour gets jumpy -Spinning pizza wheel arrives -Browser crashes
I have tried a reinstalling Snow Leopard, disabling the browser add-ons, running the browsers in safe mode and I get the same pattern of results. I guess it is a hardware fault but I do not know how to identify the fault. System Profiler tells me my RAM status is "OK" and there are no obvious faults anywhere else in system profiler.
I made the code below to use together with another 2 codes. One that mounts a samba share and another that runs rsync with specific parameters. The script below runs after rsync complete its task.
The 3 codes me to test my HTML/CSS/PHP/Javascript code changes.This code works but I have to repeat it to each browser/app I want and a 10 lines script becomes 40 lines (Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari). Is there a more elegant way to do that? I've tried to use an array/list but didn't work.
if application "Safari" is running then tell application "Safari" activate end tell tell application "System Events" tell process "Safari" keystroke "r" using {command down} end tell end tellend if
if it is possible to open a specific file or program by mapping a keyboard shortcut. For example, FN-F1 could open "ABC.DOC" or FN-F2 could open Excel.
Is anything like this possible, either within Mac OS X (10.7.4) or with a third party program?
Sometimes when I am surfing the internet each website gets slower and slower to load, and eventually the little loading rainbow icon just keeps going round and round and it has frozen and crashed. What concerns me also is the fact that when this happens it won't even let me 'force quit Safari'. Although I can still bring other applications up (other than the internet), it won't let me shut down or restart either. The only way to get the internet working again is to press the power button which I know I shouldn't do, but what choice do I have when it won't let me force quit, restart or shut down?
I am up to date with all the software updates. Because I was having this crashing problem I downloaded both iBoostUp (off app store) and MacKeeper off the internet to scan for hidden viruses etc, but it still hasn't eradiated the problem.

I've had my iMac since January 2011 and it has never had a problem, i've got the Apple care thing and tried ringing them but their offices are closed. Desperately need this fixed as i'm at uni and have deadlines in less than two weeks! Basically, my iMac started playing up yesterday, crashing and freezing, I thought nothing of it and reset it once or twice and it all seemed fine.Today I switched it on and it was fine until it crashed after a few minutes whilst using Safari.When I say crashed I mean the dock at the bottom wouldn't allow me to open any programmes and the top Apple menu won't allow me to click on anything IE Safari, File, View etc.I've restarted and shut down my computer many times, with difficulty - as stated I can't click on the Apple logo to switch it off. Based on google searches i've tried doing permission verify through disk utilities and repair disk permissions.I'm currently on the Mac and it's taken me 6 hours to get to this forum, register, and type this! Signs that it's going to crash or has crashed are the mouse really lagging, not being able to use the magic scroll, unresponsive buttons, unresponsive dock, and menu. Only things that will work when it crashes are the volume keys on my wireless keyboard, multi window button and brightness etc.

I've had this Macbook Pro Retina for about 3 months now, and it has been working fine until recently. For a few days now, my computer keeps freezing numerous amounts a day. I noticed that it usually happens when I'm on YouTube, I don't know if thats the cause or why its doing it. But every time I stay on YouTube for a while, out of nowhere, when I click on a new link, the loading icon appears, and it stays like that until I have to shut down my entire computer. I even try closing the tab and it just makes it worse.

I've bought from MacSales, two weeks ago, a Crucial SSD CT256M225.SBB1, 256 GB M225 2.5" SATA 3.0 Gb/s, with the firmware 1711, and each time that i use internally (SATA), the MBP get crashing, freezing ant it's investable. But if i use with Firewire or USB, the SSD it's fine. I would like to know what can i do.
The computer freezes or crashes fairly regularly - sometimes within minutes of being started. I have wiped the hard disk several times and done a clean reinstall of Lion. The computer still crashes - again within minutes of the Finder launching.However, it behaves itself when I boot it into Windows, or if I do a Safe Boot. This is starting to drive me nuts.Here's the latest kernel panic
