Trying to open Safari freezes computer

Trying to open Safari, not only it is not open, but it freezes the whole computer. All I get is the beach ball rolling. I'm not able to perform all actions, not even a force quit. All I can do is to stop and restart using the power button. I tried to reinstall the operating system, I deleted the extensions - such as Flash, adblocker, etc., empty the cache, all to nothing does not. My other browsers, Chrome and Firefox work fine. Any ideas? Thank you

My operating system is the last El Capitan, not Mountain Lion, as shown in the post.

  • Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

    El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

    A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

    I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

    So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

    I have two macbook pro and two iphones, used for video and audio digital professional. I might as well have a Dell.

  • Computer slows way down after trying to open internet explorer, then will not be closed.

    I look through the posts and have not found someone who had my same problem still. I hope someone can help me. A few weeks ago, I bought a new gateway laptop and it has Windows 7. It works great until a few days ago. Day before yesterday, I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 and I just got a white screen with the border of IE, but it did not open a page or anything like that. I opened the Task Manager and allows to close the IE. I had that happen in the past (in XP) when I tried to open internet until the computer is carried out all the stuff at the start of the loading. Thinking that was the problem, I tried to open IE again. This time I just got the little thing of circle of rotation for a few seconds, as he was trying to do something, but nothing happened. I then tried to restart the computer. He says "disconnect" for a few minutes, then "shutting down" for about half an hour until I finally pressed right on the power button to turn it off. I have it turned on and had the same problem again. I even tried to open another program (Word) to see if it would work. Finally opened, it was ridiculously slow. I checked the process and it is said there are CPU usage 0. However, he acts like something using all the memory. My next step was to remove the battery. I took it out for a few minutes, restarted in safe mode, and the computer works perfectly. I then restarted it regularly. It seemed to work fine. I opened Word again and she appeared right as usual. So then I tried to open internet. I had the same problem as before, and then the computer slowed to a crawl and would not shut down. Thinking maybe it was just IE, I rebooted in safe mode with network and my internet works perfectly. I downloaded Firefox (in safe mode), perhaps hoping it would work. But when I rebooted, I always had the same problem. Everything worked fine when I got it in safe mode, even on the internet. If someone has had this problem before, please help! I just bought the computer a few weeks ago and it's very frustrating.

    Hi tonirose19

    ·         As the problem does not occur in safe mode, try to start the computer to the boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Steps to perform the clean boot and check if you have the problem.

    i. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    III. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    IV. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

    v. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

    VI. click OK.

    VII. When you are prompted, click restart.

    VIII. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved check what third party causing the problem, referring to the link given below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    i. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    III. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    IV. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

  • I tried to open firefox this morning that she would not let me do, instead, I got an error message saying: error-platform version 10.0.1 is not compatible with minversion > = 10.0, maxversion < = 10.0 "I'm not sure what I can do. Thank you

    I noticed that firefox updated last night before I shut down my computer, and then when I turned it on this morning I received the error message that I described above. It doesn't let me Open firefox.

    I don't know what you see or what generates error messages.

    Firefox 10.0.1 should run on Windows XP, I have it running on an XP. I guess that the error message comes from a site/file Firefox tries to open or some plugin that you normally use with Firefox. You can try to confirm exactly what is the full message and it generates.

    Maybe if you attach a screenshot of the message it would be useful to clarify what's happening...
