Safari 9 (El Capitan) freezes

Hello

After years of reliability, Safari seems to have stopped working in El Capitan.

I open Safari.   After a few Internet sites, my entire computer is out of memory and I have to force everything quit and restart.

This problem never happens unless I open Safari.  Then it happens in five minutes.   I've been avoiding it by using Firefox without problem.

I did everything I can find online...     My Mac Mini has a maximum memory possible.   Larger hard drive possible.

-Reset Safari/delete cookies

-Uninstall all plug-ins...

-I even made TWO total re installed on EL Capitan...

I would be grateful any advice anyone could have.

Safari/Preferences/Advanced - activate the menu to develop it, then go ahead and empty Caches. Quit/relaunch Safari and test. Then try Safari/history/Show History and remove all items from the history.  Quit/relaunch Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History... The downside is that it deletes all cookies. It could upset some sites no longer recognizes your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db, and then move it to the trash.

Go to Safari preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Test. If correct, enable the extensions one by one until find you which extension is causing the problem.

  • 2015 the Macbook Pro 13 Retina El Capitan freezes randomly

    Hello

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 2015 with the Retina display. I plug in December. It has the most recent update of El Capitan (OSX 10.11.4). I have 91.8 GB of free space on the SSD drive. Around a month ago, freezes bad has started to happen. Frost occur generally when I'm browsing Safari, I do not know if it has nothing to do with YouTube videos, but maybe it's interesting to note that I usually have a tab open in Safari that's YouTube when it happens (but not always). Today, I already had 2 freezes, before one arrived, I read an article and it happened (a YouTube tab was open in Safari, however, the video did not play for the moment when frost arrived). The second time, watched a YouTube video, and freezing that happened when I clicked on the time bar to make the video at a specific time. Frost usually occurs when I interact with something like that, opening of a new video in YouTube (such as clicking a recommendation of video on the right panel), or interact with the video itself. Note, after I restarted the computer, the previous video is one which opens in Safari, if frost has occurred during playback of the video which freezes just after I started playing.

    However, it is not only Safari which can cause freezing. There was a specific case, when I looked at the images in the Photos app. There were many of them, and I pressed the arrow left and right to navigate through them. Then he suddenly freezes the whole system, couldn't get out of the application or anything. Such a freeze is really bad, I can't interact with the computer somehow, the mouse cursor freezes, time freezes in the status bar, no Cmd + space for Spotlight, no physical reaction buttons whatsoever. Only option is to wait a few minutes (in order to clearly identify the process before and during the system failure in the newspaper), and then press and hold the power button until the machine stops.

    I thought first of all it is a software problem, I did a complete reinstallation of the system (formatted the SSD drive, downloaded Yosemite, then upgraded to El Capitan, once again). I had 2 weeks of calm, but today it happened again (2 times so far). I share the newspaper of queries system log: all messages. The last frost that happened at 13:31, and I waited until 13:37 to restart the computer. If I'm not able to detect the problem, I think I'll try to return this product, because I think that it is unacceptable for a machine that costly to freeze the whole system and lost unsaved process in Word or whatever it is.

    Thank you for your help,

    Adam

  • MacBook Pro 2015 El Capitan freezes completely up randomly

    Hello

    As described in the title, at random times my MacBook Pro completely freezes! Firstly roulette starts show and then everything freezes. After a few seconds my trackpad turns off (?): when I press on it, it does not the * click * sound more. Everything will be frozen and I can not move the cursor.

    The only thing I can do to make it work again is to reboot by pressing the power button.

    It happened 4 times so far and I think that each of them has occurred while I was with Safari (9.1). Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm still under warranty, but if it's a software thing I would really like to fix it myself, because I am currently my university studies and I can't do three weeks without the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    Backup your computer if you can, then do the following:

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    1. Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.
    2. When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) in the list to one side.
    3. Click Delete in the toolbar of disk utility. A panel will fall.
    4. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
    5. Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.
    6. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    7. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  • I use Safari with El Capitan. After you have installed Adobe Flash Player Safari has stopped working. I get a message that says ' Safari is the opening is no longer. What gives?

    I use Mac OS X El Capitan. After asked by C-Span to install Adobe Flash Player, I could watch their video streams. A lttlle later when I tried to re - open Safari from the dock, he was motionless. I went to the Finder and got this message. That is what it is?

  • Safari 9 (El Capitan) is to save cookies in private browsing

    Hello

    I noticed that Safari 9 (OS X El Capitan) saves cookies when I'm in the private browsing window.

    When I visit certain websites (e.g. gizmodo.com) in private browsing, and I close the window, the site cookie is always displayed.

    I tried to restart the Mac, but private browsing Safari cookies have not been deleted.

    Apple says that: "when you are using a private browsing window: Safari doesn't remember the changes to your cookies or other data from the website." (9 safari (El Capitan): private browsing windows use)

    I find this strange because in Firefox or Google Chrome incognito mode deletes cookies when you close the window.

    Please try this as a test.

    1 empty Caches

    Safari > Preferences > advanced

    Tick the box "Show develop menu in menu bar."

    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

    Click on develop and select 'Empty cache' in the menu dropdown.

    2 Delete Cookies

    Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

    Click on the button "Details".

    Delete all cookies except those from Apple, your internet service provider and the banks.

    3 safari > file > new private window

    Try the gizmodo.com site.

    Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

    Cookie of Gizmodo appears?

    I've tested this and there was no gizmodo stored cookie after you close the private window.

  • Where is History.plist Safari in El Capitan

    I can't find history/plist in El Capitan.

    I had problem with typing in Safari Google searches when it won't let a space when you try and add a Word to a search or simnply hangs and stop typing you anything at all, so I want to do the following:

    Finder > user account > library > Caches. Move it to the trash, the com.apple.Safari file and folder bookmarks in Caches > metadata > Safari folder. Then, same library, go to the Safari folder, moving in the Recycle Bin, the file History.plist . Now restart Safari and try the URL

    Also, where is El Capitan account username please?

    1. nowhere else. Yosemite and more recent use History.db instead.

    2. choose homepage in the Finder Go menu or press menu Option opens and then choose library.

  • Safari 9.0.2 freezes - also picked up adware

    Running Safari 9.0.2 under El Capitan 10.11.2. on MacBook Pro

    1. when I run Safari for the first time after logon, the application crashes (with lollipop) for about 30 seconds and works fine.

    2. separate to that, I seem to have picked up a virus/trojan or something by which if I click a link on a legitimate Web site, another tab will open with some advertising site - ing! AVG sees nothing.

    The best course of action to address these two issues will be remove Safari and reinstall? If so, where one can get the Safari Installer?

    Thank you

    David

    A

    Please remove "AVG Antivirus" (which is worse than useless) by following the instructions on this page. To remove the free version of the product, you may need to download the installer from here.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Never install a software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" again.

    B

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. Save all data before taking this action. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted. That's all you need to do in withdrawal may be, but you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks.

    If the steps above do not work for you, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

  • Problem 'tab' Safari in El Capitan

    Today I upgraded to El Capitan.  When I open several web pages in safari, the tab is empty - it does not list who's who.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem, so I can see the site in the tab?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I email a link to a website in Safari using El Capitan?

    I just bought a new Macbook Air with El Capitan.  When I'm in Safari, I would like to send links to Web sites, but the only option it gives are to send the actual page.  This feature integrates the contents of the page in my email, which is useful, but sometimes I prefer to just send a link to the Web site.  Older versions of Safari used to do this, so I'll try to understand what gives here, is there a setting I'm missing or something?

    Any help is appreciated!
