Safari causes freezing requiring a hard restart
Safari OSX 10.11.4 my iMAC started recently causing many freezes a day which could only be corrected by a hard reboot - power button. After you run disk utility and reset pram - no change. I stopped using Safari & switch to firefox and the problem did not appear for 3 days.
The reason why was that I switched from PC to mac to get away from these boring system hangs. I've seen a lot of messages from people with similar problems, but I don't know how to decide which of the hundreds of different suggestions will actually solve the problem. I hope someone can give me advice. Spending countless hours trying to fix software problems are not my cup of tea. Maybe it's time to give a PC another try.
Safari is the gel on a particular site or it freezes after a certain amount of time on any site?
Are you running a mac Anti Virus or 3rd party cleaning or the management software (clean my mac, guardian of mac, etc) - If yes remove immediately, AV Mac is not as flexible as Windows AV and especially it is not necessary and the management software is not compatible with the integration already has OS X and it will cause serious problems.
have you removed your external devices (except keyboard and mouse) to see if there is a mismatch?
If the problem persists report post and etrecheck here for the volunteers can analyze it

Firefix 23.0.1 freezes requiring a hard reboot the computer.
I'm running a machine oldest, but with a new installation of Windows 7. Until the last update, I have not had any problems with versions of Firefox since my last OS install. Now, when I'm in the latest Firefox 23.0.1, I sometimes get gel that blocks the whole machine and need a hard reboot. I'm always diagnose, but so far the only constant I know is Firefox. I have not experienced the same freezes using IE.
Sometimes I think that freezing that happens when I lose control of the keyboard or the mouse during a session of Firefox, but after 1-2 seconds, they both return. Usually, it just freezes. Most of the time, it so happens that I'm away from the keyboard get coffee or something. It is so transparent, the only thing that tells me that the gel is produced (other than the loss of the mouse and keyboard) is the time of the system is still a few minutes ago.
I saw the other message forum for Firefox 21 and 22 of Firefox, but I thought I have ask in a new message on Firefox 23.
I did the reset for Firefox from last night. I rebooted Ghostery as my only add-on, which was the only consecutive add-on over the previous versions of Firefox. Already this morning, I had the 1-2 second pause, but not yet freezing. (Now the convenience store has been added because of this message.)
Hello
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

The CPU usage reaches 100% and the system locks requiring a hard restart on Windows Vista
All of sudden the CPU usage reaches 100%, which makes the system dead slow and finally the system stops responding. I have to do a hard reboot to continue using the system.
I tried to open the Task Manager to see if there are programs or services running that can consume resources and found nothing. The remains of number of CPU use, the graph to use but less than 10 years is hovering at 100%.
I did not change my system.
The problem appears on the two accounts that I installed on my operating system.
I removed all the unwanted programs since the system was started.
I have McAfee Antivirus installed for more than a year now, and the latest antivirus patches have been installed.

I'm having a problem with my Pro MacBrook retina (end of 2013). Since the upgrade is supposed to 10.11.4, I eperienced several system freezes; all
that required a hard reboot. The machine is Core i7 to 2.3 gHz, 16 GB 1600 mHz DDR3 ram, 512 GB ssd. Safari v.9 (1). It is obvious that the other users are
having the same experience - any word from Apple regarding a solution? I expect this kind of thing from Windows, not Mac machine...
There is no systemic problem with 10.11.4 gel. Where are you this information? If you get it from forums like this one do not forget that the few people who post here post about issues they know. Their messages do not represent millions of people, not problems.
A lot of questions like yours goes back to 3rd party apps incompatible or drivers that have not been updated for 10.11.4. Provide details of your question and we will try to help you.

iOS 9.3 - Safari/Mail freezes after clicking links on iPhone 6s
Hello
Never had any problems with my iPhone 6. Just upgraded to iOS 9.3 without any problem. After the upgrade, I can't click on links when you search something on Google in Safari or by clicking on a link in the E-mail, the apps just freeze.
I tried to wipe data/cache of Safari history, close all applications and restart the phone (ordinary and now the two key power-house), by disabling form of all sorts of settings settings of Safari, but no luck... Anyone with an idea how to sort?
I have the same problem with Safari, mail and messages. The links work with the app gmail links work in Chrome, but only with a long click to get the option to open in a new tab. It seems that this already happened with 9.2.1 but I couldn't find an answer that solved the problem. I don't think that has begun until 24 hours after the update. iPhone 6 s + 128 GB 9.3.

Safari windows/tabs closure after computer restart
Before all the tabs in Safari would remain open (even after restarting the computer) until I have to stop them, which was a feature I really enjoyed. As of today, it closes after every stop, and I don't know why. I made the Version 10.10.5 security update and update of Safari Version 9.1, cleared cookies and history, and nothing seems to fix. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

HP 600-1350 PC: erronious warning message that is causing me to have to restart without reason
AT & T has had a wide spead failure last week that caused an interruption of 27 hours of my Uverse cable - int. - phone. After this event, which started my Hp 600-3550 PC, he displayed a warning message stating basically that I had a defective Ethernet cable connected to my all-in-one wireless Desk Top. This message is not until I left my CV go quiet for an hour or two. When I go back and press the space bar to continue... There is the warning, causing me to have to restart. I ran my diagnosis/Hp recovery disk and it reports all is well except anything to do with the 3D which I never use. I say the message is erronious is because there is no no. Ethernet cable going into my desk Top. Only a printer - Scanner (usb) and antenna (co - ax) broadcast (for cable outages) and of course the power cord.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the warning of Billboard? Oh! Of course, there is the Ethernet cable from the ATT case on the side of my house... in the House and my wireless modem.
Comments and ideas
You can restart all - everything connected to the AT & T bits and which includes the Modem and your box AT & T U-Verse, too, if you can't stand to do. The problem with the U-Verse stuff is that he doesn't like outages of electricity and stuff tends to miss a bit catastrophic subsequently. I realize your computer and your printer are not connected to the U-Verse box is said by the way. The smile.
When you shut it down, wait a few minutes - say about three minutes.
Things U-Verse, modem - box, then you started home router if you have a separate system... Then the computer. Finally, assuming that the computer starts and allows you to start the printer.
If you have one of your own cables connecting all to nothing, consider replacing them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You must make sure that your file system is healthy. Look for other problems in the system.
Take a look at the following - and really watch the suggestions, take appropriate action:

If errors not stop, call U-Verse and complain until get you your hands on an agent who will tell you to send a tech level second (not a student) and see what happens.

Adding RAM causes freeze or blue screen. RAM works well with Win XP
I upgraded from Win XP to Win 7. I had problems with the installation so I removed all non-essential equipment and was able to complete the installation. When I add more RAM, I had emoved (two DIMMs of 512 MB) to the current 1 GB DIMM, Win 7 either freezes or I get a blue screen after boot up (it does not boot up to the desktop computer). Even RAM works very well with my old XP OS (I did a disk clone before moving to Win 7). The card motherboard BIOS is up to date (according to eSupport) and DIMMs are the same characteristics (a 1 GB DIMM and two 512 MB DIMMS for a total of 2 GB). Windows 7 works very well with just the 1 GB DIMM in memory 1 of 3 location, but any combination of causes freeze or blue screen. Is there something on the way Windows 7 manages RAM which is causing the problem? If so, is there something I can do to solve the problem?
try running Memtest86 +, which runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or
confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

Safari stops everything requires hard restart
Safari on late 2009 iMac after works very well for some time, unexpectedly brings all of a sudden stop. The cursor moves, but clicking on does nothing. Keyboard does not work so force quitting is not accessible. Ideas?
Hi Robert,.
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. Sorry to hear that you are having these problems with your iMac. I'm a little unclear on the exact nature of the issue you describe (how many times it happens, if there is some kind of trigger, etc.), but if the freezing of the whole system seems to be linked to Safari, you can try to reproduce the problem under a test user to see if it happens again. You can find information and troubleshooting procedures described in the following article useful:

You can also see if what you are experiencing is a question of depletion of resources (memory/RAM pressure, high utilization of the processor, available disk space, etc.). If so, then this article can also be useful:
